Chapter 780: Chapter 28: I’m Not Angry [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]_1

"I’ve explained myself clearly, I acted out of justice. You must be careful with your investigation, you don’t want to discourage good people..."

Inside Yu Bo Mansion, Chu Liang sat behind a desk, patiently explaining to several black-clothed cultivators.

Being the pride of Shu Mountain, the powerful Seventh Realm practitioner and the royal brother of Yu Dynasty, the mansion treated him with utmost respect and caution, only inviting him back from the outskirts of the city for questioning.

Chu Liang cooperated, narrating the incident once again. Seeing the doubtful looks on the mansion cultivators’ faces, he shrugs:" Imagine me, publically absconding with a dancer, that’s impossible. If the Dragon Dance Lady hasn’t woken up yet, you can ask at the Flower Tower to be sure."

"We’ve already sent someone to the Flower Tower for questioning, and the Dragon Dance Lady has woken up. Captain Han has gone to see her." The cultivator across the table said quietly: "We also believe that a hero from the Immortal Sect wouldn’t do such a thing, it’s just..."

He didn’t dare to utter the rest of his words out loud.

It’s just that your master is ultimately Empress Feng, it would be extremely reasonable if indeed it was you.

Everyone from Yu Bo Mansion looked at Chu Liang with a hint of fear. They had merely heard of Empress Feng’s Immortal Sect meeting, but Chu Liang’s, they witnessed with their own eyes.

From the night raid on Yanbo City onwards, this young man shattered the great dreams of Fuyao Country in a completely unimaginable way.

From that day on, Chu Liang was destined to become a shadow in the hearts of the people of Fuyao Country.

Bang.

The door was pushed open, and once again, the icy face of Han Lingshuang appeared.

"The Dragon Dance Lady is awake. She clarified that you certainly were not the first one who kidnapped her." She said.

"What do you mean? You mean I was the second?" Chu Liang gave a bitter smile.

"To tell the truth, your behavior makes it hard not to misunderstand..." Han Lingshuang raised her hand, indicating Chu Liang was free to leave, saying," However, we still believe you."

Chu Liang got up, stepped out the room, and onto the corridor of Yu Bo Mansion. All around were black stones, carved with images of cranes, turtles, dogs, horses, and other creatures, casting a somewhat gloomy atmosphere.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard the tapping of footsteps at the far end of the corridor.

A tall figure slowly walked closer.

The person was entirely covered within a thick Black Iron Armor. The armor clinked with every move he made, a pure black mask shielding his face, revealing only a pair of bright and intimidating pupils.

Aura as majestic as a mountain.

Trailing behind him was the slender figure of the Dragon Dance Lady, her arms folded against her shoulders, appearing all the more frail and helpless against this armored warrior.

"General." Seeing this person, Han Lingshuang bowed in greeting.

"Captain Han." The armored man’s voice resounded deep and low, reminiscent of a thunderclap. He turned his gaze to Chu Liang: "This must be Warrior Chu from Shu Mountain? I had the pleasure to witness your valor six years ago."

From the way Han Lingshuang addressed this person, his identity wasn’t hard to guess. Chu Liang also bowed slightly: "Greetings, General Yu Bo."

The highest-ranking person in Yu Bo Mansion was indeed General Yu Bo. At certain times, General Yu Bo’s power was of such magnitude that it matched the Emperor’s.

"This is your first visit to Fuyao Country, Warrior Chu? You should take the time to explore. The scenery here is quite nice." The armored general voiced out again before resuming his steps, clanking away in his iron boots.

As the Dragon Dance Lady passed by Chu Liang, she whispered a quiet "Thank you," before following the General further down the corridor.

Han Lingshuang continued to escort Chu Liang out and along their way, Chu Liang, driven by curiosity, asked: "Is the Dragon Dance Lady not leaving?"

"The Dragon Dance Lady’s real name is Jing Yue, and she is General Jing Wuya’s adopted daughter. She lives in Yu Bo Mansion." As Han Lingshuang led the way, she explained: "The culprit behind the kidnapping of the Dragon Dance Lady hasn’t been caught. You should be careful..."

"Beware of revenge?" Chu Liang asked with a laugh.

Han Lingshuang paused, giving Chu Liang another glance before turning her head and saying: "I suppose you’re not afraid."

"Oh right," asked Chu Liang. "What happened to Captain Han’s disciples? They should now be part of the elite forces in Yu Bo Mansion, right? I remember that one... Hu Sanlang, he’s really skilled with a blade."

Han Lingshuang suddenly stopped in her tracks.

After a long silence, she pushed the gate in front of her and said coldly, "Take care on your way."

Squeak.

The moonlight poured in as she turned around and left.

...

"Heard you were busted for forcibly taking a dancer?"

Back at the courtyard, both Xue Lingxue and Iron Hammer stared at Chu Liang in surprise.

"..." Chu Liang was speechless for a moment, then asked back, "Who did you hear this from?"

Both of them pointed at Lin Bei.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Lin Beilang laughed, saying, "Of course, I know you would never do something like that. I just went to the Yu Bo Mansion to inquire, and that’s what they said. I merely repeated it when I got back."

"It’s just a misunderstanding." Chu Liang shook his head, adding, "However, there does seem to be something strange about this Yu Bo Mansion in Fuyao Country. I just met with General Yu Bo..."

"Jing Wuya?" Lin Bei also mentioned the name.

"Yes." Chu Liang nodded, asking, "Do you know anything about him?"

He had felt something unusual about the man during their brief encounter.

There was a strange familiarity in his gaze.

"He should be considered the most powerful general in the history of the Yu Bo Mansion." Lin Bei commented.

After his explanation, Chu Liang had a better understanding of the current political climate in Fuyao Country.

In the past, the Yu Bo Mansion had always been under the control of the imperial family or the trusted aides of the monarch. For a small country like theirs, centralizing power wasn’t as hard as it was in the Yu Dynasty. A few trusted higher-ups were all it took to control the country, so it had always been peaceful.

Jing Wuya became General Yu Bo a few decades ago as a non-royal, which should have symbolized extreme loyalty. However, after he came to power, the Yu Bo Mansion started to grow teeth under him, gradually breaking away from the monarch’s control.

Now, the overt and covert struggles between the monarch’s side and the general’s side are becoming increasingly intense. The royals within the Yu Bo Mansion are also being gradually eliminated. The more perceptive people had already sensed the brewing storm.

If Fuyao Country, which is backed by Penglai, were to fall into chaos, the Penglai Upper Sect would definitely not agree. It remains to be seen what methods Jing Wuya would use if he were to cause trouble.

"Three years ago, a bodyguard close to the Fuyao Country Monarch attempted to assassinate him and nearly succeeded. After that, the monarch of Fuyao Country hardly dared to leave the palace. Rumors in public suggested that this was done by Jing Wuya." Lin Bei continued. "By the way, the assassin was someone you know. Do you remember Hu Sanlang from the Immortal Sect grand assembly?"

"Hu Sanlang?" Chu Liang was surprised.

The young man who used the Waveslasher Blade...

He clearly held great respect for his own master, Han Lingshuang, who was of the royal lineage. Logically, shouldn’t he be on the side of the monarch?

He was not clear about the particulars and didn’t feel like thinking more about it. Either way, what was happening in Fuyao Country was just dogs biting dogs as far as the disciples of Shu Mountain were concerned. Whoever came to power would have to give in to Penglai. Neither Shu Mountain nor the Yu Dynasty would be treated well.

He turned to Lin Bei, adding, "You have quite the broad network of information."

Lin Bei raised the token in his hand and laughed, saying, "Thanks to your networking among immortals. This is not a very secretive matter, a little bit of probing and I got the information. It’s so convenient to exchange information in our network of immortals."

"Hehe..." Chu Liang was about to join the laughter. He, the person who launched the networking for immortals, hardly had time to look at it in his daily life. But his expression suddenly changed as if thinking about something. He looked up and said, "You didn’t spread the news about me abducting a dancer, did you?"

"Uh..." Lin Bei paused, hesitated and said, "I just mentioned it briefly."

Chu Liang rushed to open his social network among immortals, only to see a flood of messages popping up.

[Random Person A]: "I believe Young Hero Chu would never do such a thing!"

[Random Person B]: "It’s hard to say, you can never truly know someone. Those who look gentle may be even more abnormal behind the scenes."

[Random Person C]: "But he’s supposed to be with Jiangjiang, I can’t accept this."

[Random Person D]: "Huh? In that case, does this mean...I have another chance with Jiangjiang?"

"..."

Chu Liang didn’t rush to explain in his social network among immortals. Instead, he pulled Lin Bei aside, gritted his teeth and said, "You started the rumor. Now, you are going to immediately take it back..."

Then he took out the Soul Crystal, hesitated for a moment, and sent out a message.

[Chu]: "Some rumors just popped up in the social network among fairies, have you seen them?"

[Jiang]: "I’ve seen them."

[Chu]: "That’s all fake. I just happened to see that dancer being abducted, so I acted righteously to save her."

[Jiang]: "So going to see the dance lady’s performance is true?"

[Chu]: "I just accompanied Lin Bei to meet a partner and did some socializing. We happened to pass by Fuyao Country while helping Miss Xue on an errand."

[Jiang]: "Helping Miss Xue on an errand?"

[Chu]: "..."

[Chu]: "Don’t get angry yet, let me explain everything slowly to you."

[Jiang]: "I’m not angry."
