Chapter 496: Chapter 496 Zhao Songqing’s Fury!

Just as Zhou Yu was on his way to the Wu Yue residence, Qi Guochang’s office was also bustling with activity.

Yang Tianpeng and Zhao Songqing had already been there for most of the day.

Qi Guochang had become aware of their presence as soon as they arrived.

He immediately realized that these two were likely there to stall him again.

However, due to the polite demeanor of Yang Tianpeng and Zhao Songqing coupled with their status, Qi Guochang couldn’t just send them away brusquely and had to let them stay.

The three of them drank tea while chatting.

The teapot was replaced again and again.

In the meantime, Qi Guochang tried to excuse himself on the pretext of having matters to attend to several times in order to see the guests off, but Zhao Songqing was prepared; he arranged—through the connections of the Zhao Family in the Capital City—for high-ranking officials from the capital government to call Qi Guochang and burden him with numerous tasks, frustrating him to no end.

Qi Guochang had no choice but to secretly instruct his secretary to keep a close watch on any activity in the provincial city to prevent any major chaos.

Fortunately, everything remained uneventful.

The only thing was that Zhou Yu’s whereabouts were unknown.

Qi Guochang immediately sensed that Yang Tianpeng and his associates might be targeting Zhou Yu this time.

But now that he was entangled by these two people and couldn’t get away, plus considering Yang Tianpeng was a Saint Realm expert, so Yan Maozong also dared not leave.

Taking advantage of a trip to the restroom, he had his secretary check on Zhou Yu’s situation, but no information was found.

As expected, it seemed they had been prepared and blocked all information about Zhou Yu.

Qi Guochang felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

At that moment, Zhao Songqing’s cell phone suddenly rang.

Zhao Songqing picked up the phone to take a look.

The caller ID displayed "Letian Association’s Fifth Protector."

He pressed the answer button, and a grave voice came through from the other end.

"Zhao young master, it’s bad news!"

Zhao Songqing’s brows furrowed.

"What happened?"

"The Heavenly Master and Mr. Second, they... they’re both dead."

"What?"

Zhao Songqing shot to his feet, his face full of shock and anger.

This sudden action startled both Yang Tianpeng and Qi Guochang.

After regaining his composure, Zhao Songqing took a deep breath to suppress the turmoil in his heart and then said:

"Okay, I got it."

"I’ll be right there."

After speaking, he hung up the phone and looked at Qi Guochang.

"Governor Qi, I apologize, but something has come up, and I need to leave first."

"I’ll pay you another visit another day."

Qi Guochang didn’t bother with pleasantries.

"Alright."

Zhao Songqing immediately got up and headed for the door, and although Yang Tianpeng didn’t understand the situation, Zhao Songqing’s reaction clearly indicated that something had gone wrong, and he quickly followed.

After the two left the government house, Yang Tianpeng quickly asked, "What happened?"

"The Heavenly Master and Mr. Second are dead..."

"What???"

Yang Tianpeng was also stunned.

Yang Tianpeng had been quite wary of the Heavenly Master’s strength, especially his soul arts, which were unpredictable and hard to defend against.

He had been considering how to use Zhao Songqing to draw the Heavenly Master into the Punishment Hall.

It was unexpected that he had died.

"Who did it?"

Zhao Songqing’s expression was dark, but he didn’t speak, yet his expression told everything.

The two quickly returned to the headquarters of the Letian Association.

At that time, the atmosphere inside the Letian Association headquarters was very heavy.

The Fourth Senior greeted Zhao Songqing as soon as he arrived.

"Zhao young master."

"What on earth happened? How did the Heavenly Master die?" Zhao Songqing demanded furiously.

The Fourth Senior hurriedly explained what had happened.

After hearing the story, Zhao Songqing roared angrily:

"What are you incompetent for?"

"Didn’t the Second Protector say that Zhou Yu had already been disabled?"

"Moreover, he personally confirmed it."

"Zhou Yu, a cripple, how could he have killed the Heavenly Master and the second protector?"

"Waste!"

"They’re all a bunch of fucking waste!"

Fourth Master couldn’t even lift his head after being cursed out.

Yang Tianpeng, upon hearing this news, was filled with shock.

He had come to Yancheng, not even half a month had passed.

Yet, in this short half a month, he witnessed Zhou Yu’s rapid growth from someone who needed protection when facing a Saint Realm expert to being able to kill a soul art master like the Heavenly Master on his own.

It was simply inconceivable.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered something.

"Right, have the Liu Family and Gao Family made their move against Lv Fang yet?"

Fourth Master was startled and shook his head.

"This matter was arranged by Second Master; I’m not very clear about it."

Zhao Songqing realized something as well and angrily said,

"Then what the fuck are you waiting for? Go and ask now!"

Fourth Master, ordered about and scolded, felt a surge of anger, but he had no choice, for the Zhao Family was the superior authority in the Letian Association.

Fourth Master promptly made a call to find out.

Soon, he begrudgingly returned to Zhao Songqing and reported,

"The Liu Family has already made their move."

Zhao Songqing’s face turned an iron blue.

"Tell those wastes to stop immediately. We don’t have enough top experts now; if that kid gets angered, we’re going to have serious trouble."

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Fourth Master quickly made another call.

But a moment later, he returned again.

"Young Master Zhao... it’s already too late..."

Zhao Songqing’s expression became utterly grim.

"Fuck, I was originally counting on these wastes to deal with the Lin Family of Yancheng. Now it seems, waste is just waste."

"Where’s your president?"

"The Letian Association has turned into this, why hasn’t he shown his face?"

Zhao Songqing rebuked angrily.

Fourth Master’s expression changed, and he quickly said,

"I... I don’t know either."

"However, he did send a message a while back saying he would return soon, but he didn’t specify an exact date."

"Alright then, Young Master Zhao, I’ll try my best to contact him."

Zhao Songqing snorted coldly, saying no more.

But his face was filled with suppressed rage.

The Zhao Family had supported the Letian Association from the beginning, but now, this president was becoming increasingly presumptuous, not even regarding the Zhao Family heir with any importance.

He had been in Yancheng for so many days, and hadn’t even seen the face of the Letian Association president, nor received a single phone call.

Zhao Songqing was resolute that, once he returned to the family, he would report the situation of the Letian Association to his family so that they could send a top expert to properly rectify the Letian Association.

...

When Zhou Yu arrived at Wu Yue’s place, Lu Xiuying and the others were already there.

Wu Yue said with a wry smile,

"These past days, we’ve been forced to take a leave and idle at home. Just now, when we heard you were coming, Leader Lu and the others all arrived."

Zhou Yu nodded and said,

"Good."

After everyone was seated, Zhou Yu asked about the events that had transpired, and sure enough, it was pretty much the same as the rumors he had heard.

They had been suppressed and left idle at home simply because they had offended Quan Yulong.

Zhou Yu frowned and asked,

"So what now? How can you be reinstated to your positions?"

Wu Yue sighed and said,

"We can only wait for Vice Minister Jiang, or the Minister himself to return."

"But right now, no one knows where they are."

Zhou Yu was taken aback.

"Right, where exactly has Vice Minister Jiang gone?"

"Even you guys don’t know his whereabouts?"
