Chapter 103 The Way of Checks and Balances
The Zen room is quiet and the sandalwood fragrance is lingering.

Tianjiang Water Emperor sat cross-legged, looking at the scriptures in his hands, but he couldn't calm down no matter what.

"Clap!"

He couldn't help but drop the jade sceptre, let out a long sigh, frowned, and paced back and forth in the Zen room.

"Da da da……"

There was the sound of footsteps, the door creaked open, and Ruan Xin walked in carrying a tray.

"Today is a festival after all, why are you sitting in your study all the time? Come, I made some Laba porridge, let's have a taste and see how it tastes."

Ruan Xin placed the Laba porridge on the desk with a concerned look on his face.

"The water mirror has been updated. Have you seen it?"

Tianjiang Water Emperor suddenly asked.

"Look, what's wrong?"

“Alas, Gu Zhenzai struggled hard for just over ten days before he was caught up by Shui Jing…his situation is worrying!”

Tianjiang Water Emperor was full of worries.

Yesterday, Shuijing underwent a major update.

The updated content not only replicates the new Internet functions, but also makes some subtle changes and even adds some small functions.

It can be said that they are holding on to the Internet tightly!
It caused quite a stir on the forum.

"Are you worried about Gu Zhenzai? Or are you worried about Mi Mi?"

Ruan Xin saw through her husband's worries at a glance and comforted him, "Actually, this may not be a bad thing."

"How to say?"

"Only if the Internet continues to decline will Emperor Dongyin feel more assured, and Mi Mi will have a chance to come back."

"Having said that...Mi Mi's life is ruined."

"Not really? Emperor Dongyin is a second-rank immortal official. Don't you think he has no tolerance for others?"

"Emperor Dongyin has a broad mind, but what about others?"

Tianjiang Water Emperor asked a rhetorical question, and Ruan Xin opened his mouth to speak, but his voice fell in his throat.

The new incense system will inevitably lead to a bloody battle. The stain of Mi Mi joining the Internet is enough to make it difficult for her to join Shui Jing again.

After all, she took the initiative to join the Internet after Shui Jing came out.

This behavior is considered rebellious in the novel;
To put it in a broader sense, it means that one is not optimistic about Shui Jing.

"At this moment, if the Internet and Shuijing can be evenly matched, it would actually be the best outcome."

"Why?"

"This is a way of checks and balances. It can prevent Shui Jing from becoming the only one in power, and it can also buy time for other immortals and gods."

After listening to her husband's analysis, Ruan Xin fell silent.

"Ding dong!"

An illusory voice rang in the ears of Emperor Tianjiang and Ruan Xin almost at the same time.

The two of them followed the sound and logged onto the Internet. They subconsciously looked at each other with surprise on their faces.

It was a subordinate who reported that the eldest lady appeared on the Internet again.

In fact, the moment they logged onto the Internet, they had already seen Ouyang Mi.

Suddenly, a pop-up window popped up in the Internet Center.

A video is playing automatically!
"…Today is the last day of the five-year period, the day when the Five Emperors gather together to examine the spirits of the heavens and the good and evil deeds of the ancestors of the living and their descendants, in order to determine their sins and blessings…Palaces and temples in various places all hold grand ceremonies to celebrate the Five Emperors…"

On the screen, Ouyang Mi has changed from her previous appearance on the Internet, which was either voluptuous, lustful, or pure;

She was dressed in formal attire, sitting behind a long table, and talking freely.

As she talked, the scene switched to palaces and temples in various places, showing the grand celebration ceremony of the day.

In the lens, there is the majesty of the Five Emperors’ statues;

There are also solemn and dignified fasting and offering ceremonies in major palaces and temples;
There are also devout worships from believers!
At the end of the video, the camera focused on an old woman and conducted an interview:
"How do you feel about coming to Liuyun Temple to worship the Five Emperors today?"

A gentle questioning voice came from the screen.

"Okay, I come here every year to worship and burn incense, pray for my family, and hope that the Five Emperors will bless me and that my family will always be prosperous..."

As the old lady's face was filled with joy, the screen switched back to the studio. Ouyang Mi continued to report the following news with a smile on her face:

"While the South is celebrating the Wu La Festival, the villagers along the Wangjian River in Yanyun Prefecture have already prepared for the upcoming winter fishing. The women are checking the nets, and the young men are also providing horse feed for the horses early. Please read the report sent from the scene..."

"It is a good thing to have a harvest on the winter solstice, but we must also be vigilant against the deception of criminals. Recently, a group of criminals in Jingyang have been posing as Taoists, wandering around the countryside, deceiving villagers and defrauding points..."

"A sudden snowstorm hit Lintong, many houses collapsed, and the people suffered heavy losses..."

The news is still being broadcast in an orderly manner.

There is the joy of a good harvest, and the sadness of a heavy loss;

There are also various strange and interesting stories.

The Emperor of Tianjiang Water saw this and his eyes became blurred unconsciously.

Ouyang Mi appears dignified and graceful in front of the camera, and her tone always changes with the news.

When the people are happy, her tone will naturally show some joy;

When she encountered disasters, her tone was also very solemn and compassionate;
It was as if he was meeting his daughter for the first time.

After a long time, the news broadcast ended and turned to the weather forecast.

The way he talked so eloquently in front of the map once again greatly shocked Tianjiang Water Emperor.

It turns out that weather forecast can be displayed in this way?

It turns out that being in the spotlight can be so elegant.

The news broadcast ended, and the pop-up window automatically shrank and turned into a news section, shrinking to the corner of the Internet. The small section turned into a playback window, playing new content.

Tianjiang Shuidi clicked on it with great anticipation, only to find that a drama was being played.

This made him quite disappointed.

"My husband, you are not worried now, right?"

Ruan Xin's voice came with a hint of teasing.

"Hahaha, this is because our daughter is very capable."

Emperor Tianjiang swept away his melancholy and laughed out loud.

"It is obvious that Gu Zhenzai has a keen eye for talent and knows how to assign people to the right positions."

Ruan Xin smiled.

"Yeah!"

Emperor Tianjiang praised him repeatedly with a complicated expression, saying, "I didn't expect that Gu Zhenzai still remembers his original promise to this day."

"You can finally put your mind at ease." Ruan Xin said with a smile.

“I’m afraid that Emperor Dongyin will not let go of this news broadcast and copy it again.” Emperor Tianjiangshui showed some worry again.

"You don't trust your own daughter so much? Our daughter can be a leader in the online course section, and she will not be worse than others in the news broadcast."

Ruan Xin raised her chin slightly, a bit of pride on her face.

Tianjiang Water Emperor was startled for a moment, then he suddenly showed some realization.

The News Broadcast is more than just updating a section.

This involves a lot of manpower and material resources.

In terms of power, Emperor Qingxu is slightly better than Emperor Dongyin.

The most important thing is that this is something done by humans, and since it is done by humans, it is not so easy to replicate.

He believed in the daughter he raised.

Even though she is arrogant and wild, she is still the daughter of Tianjiang Water Emperor after all.

"The child has grown up, and I have always spoiled her too much and was reluctant to let her go out to experience life. Now I know that she has done better than I thought."

Tianjiang Water Emperor sighed, feeling both proud and somewhat lost.

The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, the sky is high enough for birds to fly. From now on, Ouyang Mi probably won't need to rely on him as his father anymore, right?

……

At this moment, compared to Tianjiang Water Emperor who focused all his attention on Ouyang Mi, Internet users' attention was more focused on the news broadcast itself.

I was even shocked by this new model.
