Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 105: Chapter 103: True or False

”Thank you, Princely Heir!” Ma Tianhe respectfully clasped his fists, ”I will report to the Director immediately.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”It’s just a possibility, it may not necessarily be true. The Inspection Department still needs to investigate thoroughly.”

”Understood.” Ma Tianhe nodded vigorously.

Within the Inspection Department, experts and spies are like clouds. They lack neither manpower nor financial resources nor capabilities, but rather investigation targets.

The target is the hardest to find.

With the Inspection Department’s capabilities, they can always find some clues and figure out what is peculiar and whether he is an impostor.

If this Da Lie’s Twelfth Prince does have a problem, and the Inspection Department cannot detect it, it would be a failure and a crime.

If they discover it, it would be a great achievement.

After investigating, if there’s no problem, it wouldn’t be a crime, but rather fulfilling one’s duty, preventing problems before they happen.

Chu Zhiyuan finished reading the dossiers and sat behind the desk in deep thought.

His left hand still holding the Flying Dragon Bone, with the Flying Dragon Ball on his chest, the Third Layer of the Dragon Transformation Technique surged vigorously.

Now it is the seventh piece of the Flying Dragon Bone.

The absorption speed is getting faster and faster.

The bone has turned golden, dazzlingly radiant.

He got up from the desk, pacing back and forth in thought.

If there really was no agreement, and he had to marry the Da Zhen Princess as the official wife, how should he handle it?

By the time the Imperial Decree is issued, unless he doesn’t want to stay in Da Jing, he cannot defy it, he can only comply.

Unless he quickly becomes a Great Grandmaster, then he would have the qualification to resist the decree.

Marrying the Da Zhen Princess as the official wife, and Xiao Ruoling as a concubine?

I’m afraid Duke An Mansion would not agree to that either.

Truly troublesome.

He shook his head, tossing it aside, knowing that there is little he can do. It depends on whether the officials of Da Jing can hold it together.

——

Chu Zhiyuan left the Inspection Department, pacing slowly towards the direction of the Zhenyi Sect’s altar, arriving outside that empty house.

He suddenly stopped his steps, looking at Gao Jiong.

Gao Jiong quickly said, ”Princely Heir, do you want to meet Xiao Fang?”

Chu Zhiyuan already knew that the youth from Zhenyi Sect was named Fang Xiuha: ”Meeting him is good, to see if it’s true or false.”

Initially, Gao Jiong felt that there’s no problem with Fang Xiuha, and the token was real, but Ji Dongxiao and others thought it was fake.

Now he has believed Ji Dongxiao and their judgment.

Gao Jiong stepped forward to knock on the door, which was opened by a young man.

The youth’s face was pale, and another young man beside him supported him.

This other youth was Fang Haiyang, Bai Jingrong’s disciple.

Gao Jiong introduced, ”Xiao Fang, this is Junior Minister, who discovered you were injured.”

The pale-faced young man barely clasped his fists.

”Greetings, Sir.” Fang Haiyang solemnly clasped his fists and then quickly withdrew his hand to continue supporting Fang Xiuha.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, ”Where is your master?”

He spoke as he walked in, reaching the small pavilion in the front yard, sitting down at the wooden table in front of the pavilion.

Zou Fang stood beside him.

Guo Chi and three others stood around him, surrounding him.

”Sit down and talk.” Chu Zhiyuan gestured to the wooden stool opposite the wooden table.

Fang Haiyang assisted Fang Xiuha to the other side of the wooden table, answering, ”Master is at the altar.”

”I have something to tell him, summon him over now.”

”This...” Fang Haiyang hesitated.

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at Fang Xiuha: ”Is it inconvenient for your master to see this Mr. Fang?”

Fang Haiyang sheepishly said, ”Otherwise, let Master go to the government office to meet the official. I will report to Master later.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, ”Then convey to your master, the person behind it has been found. They are from the Jiuli Divine Sect.”

He listened to Gao Lingfeng’s report, the Grandmaster Mansion sent out two Great Grandmasters and finally found the mastermind.

”Jiuli Divine Sect?” Fang Haiyang was puzzled, ”Uncle Bai didn’t offend people from the Jiuli Divine Sect, right? ... Aren’t Jiuli Divine Sect disciples forbidden from entering Yujing?”

The disciples of the four major Demon Sects are not allowed into Yujing, which was a vow made with the Grand Ancestor.

Almost everyone in Martial Arts knows this vow.

It wouldn’t make sense for the Jiuli Divine Sect to break this vow.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Why do they have to enter Yujing? ... He Jiujie was originally not from Yujing, he had been rampaging in the Northwest.”

”Strange...” Fang Haiyang looked at Fang Xiuha with utter confusion.

Fang Xiuha shook his head, ”Master is elusive, never seen throughout the year, I don’t know if he offended people from the Jiuli Divine Sect.”

Master likes to pick pockets.

This is a secret.

It wouldn’t be surprising if he offended the Jiuli Divine Sect, what if he happened to steal from a disciple of the Jiuli Divine Sect?

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”The Court can only investigate this far.”

Fang Xiuha’s pale handsome face turned sullen: ”The Court doesn’t intend to pursue this Jiuli Divine Sect disciple?”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”He Jiujie is already dead, dead without evidence, unless He Jiujie left evidence pointing out who it is.”

Fang Xiuha’s eyes flickered.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Fang Xiuha, ”Mr. Fang, do you wish to ask Yao Yue Palace to seek revenge for you?”

Fang Xiuha slowly nodded.

Fang Haiyang was puzzled, ”Yao Yue Palace?”

Fang Xiuha said solemnly that he had a token, with this token, he could ask Yao Yue Palace to do one thing for him.

As long as it does not violate Yao Yue Palace’s will or break the Court’s laws, Yao Yue Palace would agree.

Gao Jiong finally couldn’t help but speak, ”Xiao Fang! ... Not to mention whether Yao Yue Palace would agree or not, even if they agreed, they might not be able to defeat the mastermind.”

Fang Xiuha solemnly said, ”I believe Yao Yue Palace is stronger than the Jiuli Divine Sect.”

”Yao Yue Palace is stronger than the Jiuli Divine Sect, but not by much.” Gao Jiong said, ”How could Yao Yue Palace wage a full war against the Jiuli Divine Sect because of your master? ... Who knows how many people would die by then.”

Fang Xiuha clenched his teeth, ”I believe Yao Yue Palace will do it!”

The pride of Yao Yue Palace is like celestial beings; once they make a promise, they will fulfill it, regardless of the cost.

”You... are too young, thinking too wishfully.” Gao Jiong sighed, ”If it were you, would you do it?”

”...” Fang Xiuha hesitated.

Fang Haiyang said, ”Sir, what kind of person is the mastermind from the Jiuli Divine Sect after all, an ordinary disciple or a True Disciple?”

”It’s an Elder.” Chu Zhiyuan said, ”An Elder with Grandmaster Perfection.”

Fang Haiyang frowned without speaking.

Indeed, it’s not something one can confront. Either invite experts from Yao Yue Palace to help or request the Great Grandmasters of the Court to act.

But the Court doesn’t want to get involved, so what about Yao Yue Palace?

Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at Fang Xiuha, ”Brother Fang, why not give it a try?”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Trying is good too; even if it doesn’t work, you can ask them to teach you Supreme Martial Arts.”

The Supreme Martial Arts in the world often require extremely high talent. For those of ordinary talent, even if the Supreme Martial Arts are right in front of them, they are left gawking and anxious, unable to practice them.

Fang Xiuha suddenly gritted his teeth, ”Sir, if I give you the token, could you have the Court capture this person?”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, ”No.”

”Would you fear people from the Jiuli Divine Sect?”

”Public resources cannot be used privately,” Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand, ”As for fear or not, of course, I am afraid.”

The Demon Sect is called ’Demon’ not only because they are beyond the Court’s jurisdiction but also because they are reckless and audacious.

If you truly offend them, even if they wouldn’t kill you, they wouldn’t let you have it easy; it’s incredibly troublesome.

Fang Xiuha showed a look of disappointment.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Do you really have a token from Yao Yue Palace?”

Fang Xiuha was startled and then quickly said, ”Naturally, it’s true.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”It’s not with you, but you can find it, right?”

Fang Xiuha solemnly said, ”What do you mean by that, sir? ... Although it’s not with me, of course, I can find it!”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”It seems it is hidden by your master, alright, let’s leave it at that, farewell.”

With that, he got up and left.

Super Sense had already discerned the truth in Fang Xiuha’s words.

There is indeed a token from Yao Yue Palace, but it’s not with him, he cannot find it, it is hidden by his master, Bai Jingmang.

There is no need to waste words with him then.

This Fang Xiuha speaks seventy percent truth and thirty percent lies, mixing truth with falsehood, making it difficult for outsiders to distinguish, quite cunning.

Fang Haiyang is honest and has gained Fang Xiuha’s trust.

Although Gao Jiong saved his life, he did not gain his trust.

With such a person, Chu Zhiyuan is really unwilling to say more, he would rather spend this time practicing a bit more.

——

Walking on the road, Gao Jiong’s expression was somber.

Ji Dongxiao patted his shoulder.

By watching Chu Zhiyuan’s actions, they could also tell the truth of Fang Xiuha’s words.

The most uncomfortable person was undoubtedly Gao Jiong.

Guo Chi snorted, ”Princely Heir, such a fellow really makes one ... really want to slap him.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Born suspicious, selfish, the farther away from such people you are, the better. Old Gao, you don’t need to be upset, not worth it.”

Gao Jiong smiled bitterly, ”These eyes of mine are very poor at judging people.”

Ji Dongxiao said, ”Princely Heir, since the token is not on him, and he cannot find it, should we try to find it?”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Perhaps the Jiuli Divine Sect is also looking for this.”

He vaguely felt that Bai Jingmang carried many secrets.

It might even relate to the feud between Yao Yue Palace and the Jiuli Divine Sect, making it quite lively.

But these things are somewhat distant from himself, not necessary to over-concern, more focus should be on cultivation, striving to enter the Grandmaster, even Great Grandmaster, and control his own destiny!

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand, ”Let’s quietly observe the situation first.”
