Li Xingyun, using his True Eye, quietly relocated those with low favorability to the outskirts of the mansion. They were either assigned to guard the main gate or a small, insignificant door. As such, these individuals could no longer be considered true guards.

At this moment, the twenty guards standing upright before Li Xingyun were all highly favorable to him. After careful screening, Li Xingyun was certain that these people could not be spies planted by any other forces.

"Meet the prince!"

Although the number of these twenty guards was not large, the shouts they made when they shouted in unison were as powerful as thunder and majestic!

"No need for formalities." Li Xingyun nodded, stopped talking, and began to check the faces of the many guards.

The conditions for his selection are simple: the higher the favorability, the higher the priority.

Although loyalty will be maximized after taking the inheritance bead, he still prefers to give it to someone who already has a high favorability!

"You... and you, you two stay, the rest of you disband." Li Xingyun's eyes were sharp as he quickly picked out two guards he was quite satisfied with. Both guards had a favorability rating of over 80 points.

Following Li Xingyun's order, the other eighteen guards responded in unison: "Yes!" Then they turned around and left in unison, each returning to their posts and continuing to perform their duties.

At this point, only the two selected guards were left standing quietly, awaiting Li Xingyun's further instructions. Li Xingyun slowly approached, sizing them up and down, then asked, "What are your names?"

One of the guards was the first to salute and replied respectfully: "Your Highness, my name is Yang Huo." Yang Huo had a fair face and looked gentle and refined, with a bit of scholarly air, but a closer look revealed that he had a very strong body, with faintly visible muscle lines, which was obviously the result of long-term training.

Another guard followed suit and said, "My name is Li Guang." As soon as he finished speaking, he grinned, revealing a row of white teeth. The most eye-catching thing was his bald head, which shone like a bright light bulb. It can be said that he lived up to his name.

"Well, you've always been loyal to me, and I've seen it all. Today, I've decided to grant you a rare opportunity." Li Xingyun looked at the two people before him with a gentle gaze and spoke slowly. He reached into his arms and pulled out two beads gleaming with a strange blood-red light—the very beads inherited from the remarkable Water and Fire Judge.

"Adjust your condition and then swallow this spirit pearl." Li Xingyun instructed the two of them solemnly.

Hearing the word "Spirit Pearl," Yang Huo's heart trembled. He stared intently at the pearl in Li Xingyun's hand, his eyes wide with eagerness that was hard to conceal. In this world where the strong reign supreme, who wouldn't yearn for greater power? Although they usually lived in seclusion, they had naturally heard of such a renowned treasure as the Spirit Pearl.

Li Guang, standing nearby, reacted much more quickly. Without hesitation, he grabbed the still extremely excited Yang Huo, knelt on his knees, and kowtowed respectfully to Li Xingyun, shouting, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your great gift! We are willing to go through fire and water for you, even if it means death!"

At this moment, Yang Huo finally recovered from the shock and ecstasy he had felt when he saw the spirit pearl, and quickly echoed, "I'm willing to go through fire and water for the prince, even to the point of sacrificing my life!!!"

"Well, eat it. I can see your loyalty." Li Xingyun waved his hand. He was telling the truth.

He can really see whether others are loyal or not!

Li Guang and Yang Huo immediately sat cross-legged, adjusted their states and swallowed the spirit beads. Their cultivation was only around that of a first-grade grandmaster, and their talents were not great.

Seeing the two of them begin to digest the spirit beads, Li Xingyun turned around and looked at Jing Xinmo.

"Have you checked the fiefdom clearly?"

"Well, two-thirds of the vast territory of the Shenwu Empire has already been divided up. Among them, the land granted to the King of Beiliang is Beiliang Prefecture; the King of Youzhou controls Youzhou; and the King of Yu controls Yuzhou. There is also the King of Yishan, whose fiefdom is Yizhou... and your territory - Nanjiang Prefecture!"

Mirror Heart Demon responded respectfully. When he finished speaking, he couldn't help but raise his head and glanced at Li Xingyun cautiously, as if afraid of making the other party unhappy. Then he hurriedly explained in a soft voice.

"Two-thirds?" Li Xingyun gasped in shock upon hearing this. The Shenwu Empire was vast and boundless, yet only one-third of it was directly under the imperial court's jurisdiction. This was undoubtedly terrible news.

However, since the situation had already become what it was, change was inevitable. Li Xingyun's mind raced as an idea suddenly struck him, and he instantly came up with a plan to deal with the situation.

But it will be hard for his father and several royal brothers! Thinking of this, Li Xingyun couldn't help but feel sorry for them?

Suddenly, two surging waves arose behind him, pulling his thoughts back.

"Thank you for the reward, Your Highness!" Li Guang and Yang Huo knelt on the ground again, their eyes full of passion!

"Well, you will be the Judges of Water and Fire from now on. I'll have someone make your clothes later." Li Xingyun nodded with satisfaction. He didn't plan to change their names, but he still wanted the fancy cloaks.

"Yes." They both answered in unison.

Li Xingyun also took the opportunity to check the information of the two people, and his eyes first fell on Yang Huo.

"Xiao Wangzai, arrange a small courtyard for them so they don't have to patrol with others anymore." Li Xingyun looked at Jing Xinmo and gave the order.

It's such a waste to use this strength for patrolling.

"Yes." Jing Xin Mo took the order and left with the two of them.

Not long after the two left, Chun'er, with a pair of straight, plump and long legs, walked up to Li Xingyun.

"Prince, His Majesty has summoned you to the palace." Chun'er's words were full of worry. The emperor had forced the prince to death, and he was very worried about Li Xingyun's safety!

"Haha, it's okay." Li Xingyun saw her little thoughts, rubbed Chun'er's little head, and said with a smile.

He just happened to have something to ask the emperor!
