Chapter 2979
The First Heir
The Imperial Preceptor⦠He was the first person in the country who once led the supremes to fight
against the eight kingdoms!
A true hero!
Anyone who saw the Imperial Preceptor would feel a sense of fear and worship. After all, he was the
Imperial Preceptor.
Philip walked into the gazebo and said with a bow, âImperial Preceptor, Philip Clarke at your serviceâ¦â
The Imperial Preceptor raised his eyebrows and smiled. He poured a cup of tea for Philip and said,
âThatâs fine. Come and sit.â
Philip obeyed and sat down.
The Imperial Preceptor glanced at Philip before turning his gaze up at the skylight above the gazebo.
He sighed and said, âYou really look a lot like him, which reminds me of my younger days with him. At
that time, your father was also very high-spirited like you. He never cared about anything. He had his
plans and faith about everything.â
Hearing that, Philip said, âWere you good friends with my father when you were younger?â
The Imperial Preceptor smiled and said, âThatâs right⦠Your father and I used to be best friends. We
were as close as brothers. of course, your father is also one of the people I admire most in my life.
Without him, I wouldnât be where I am today, and our country wouldnât be in peace.â
The Imperial Preceptor got up, looked at the beautiful scenery outside the gazebo, and said, âBack
then, your father and I used to be inseparable, but now, Iâm the Imperial Preceptor, while your father is
the head of the Clarke family. The responsibility on his shoulders is much greater than mine. Many
times, I wonder what I would do if I were in his shoes. Now, the chess game is getting harder and
harder to play.â
Hearing that, Philipâs eyes darkened. He got up and said, âImperial Preceptorâ¦â
The Imperial Preceptor came back to his senses and smiled. He patted Philip on the shoulder and said,
âDonât call me Imperial Preceptor. I can be considered your half-uncleâ¦â
Philip was taken aback and said, âU-Uncleâ¦â
Hearing Philipâs address, he laughed and said, âGood boy.â
Then, he motioned Philip to sit down and said, âI know what you want to ask. There are some things
that you canât know yet. The more you know, the more dangerous itâll be for you. I invited you here
today because I want to see the secret treasure of the ancient sage that you have and also to give you
something.â
The secret treasure of the ancient sage?
Philip took out the white jade box and handed it to the Imperial Preceptor. He thought that the Imperial
Preceptor would be blocked and suppressed by the white jade box, but nothing happened.
The Imperial Preceptor glanced at the white jade box and said, âThe ancient Flying Serpent is the
secret treasure that belonged to the royal Flying Serpent family of the other shore. Since you can get it,
it shows that you have a connection with itâ¦â
Having said that, the Imperial Preceptor returned the white jade box to Philip.
Philip asked, âUncle, you seem to know a lot about the royal families on the other shore.â
The Imperial Preceptor smiled and asked someone to fetch an ancient book. He then said, âThis is a
record of the other shore. Itâs a confidential file that normal people canât lay their eyes onâ¦â
Philip looked at the ancient book with the title âClassic of Mountains and Seasâ.
âThis book records the world of the other shore?â Philip asked in surprise.
The Imperial Preceptor smiled and said, âYes and no. The origin of the Classic of Mountains and Seas
is shrouded in mystery with many rumors about it. The many exotic beasts in the Classic of Mountains
and Seas rarely appear in this world today but are quite common on the other shore⦠Back then, your
father once pushed open the stargate and saw the beauty of the other shore. After he returned, he
once said that the records in the Classic of Mountains and Seas are not false.â
Hearing this, Philip fell into deep thought. He looked at the Classic of Mountains and Seas in front of
him in disbelief.
âUncle, what exactly is the other shore?â Philip asked.
The Imperial Preceptor shook his head and said with a sigh, âNot many people in this world can
witness the beauty of the other shore. Your father is one of them, and the grandmaster of your Clarke
family was also one. The others maybe among those few⦠However, what I want to tell you is that
your mother has actually been to the other shore, and she stayed there for three years.â
