Chapter 793: Chapter 793: Wearing a Hat!

Outside the Number Three Prison of the Heavenly Command.

At this moment, Yao Pingsheng leaned against the wall, his face pale as a ghost.

By his side lay several porcelain vials, but they were all toppled over on the ground, empty and askew.

For tonight’s interrogation, Yao Pingsheng had specially prepared a few vials of Spiritual Medicine, just so he could quickly replenish his energy and continuously ring the Bronze Soul-Losing Bell, giving Zhou Yu no time to rest.

However, a night had passed.

The sound of the Soul-Losing Bell had rung out dozens of times.

Several times, he watched as Zhou Yu almost couldn’t withstand the bell’s tolling and was on the verge of collapse, but in the end, he never saw Zhou Yu crumble.

Yao Pingsheng himself had collapsed instead.

He sat powerlessly outside the dungeon, his eyes vacant, his body trembling.

Not taking down Zhou Yu meant that he had to do as Xiang Yinglong had said: provoke Zhou Yu to anger him, so that Zhou Yu would violate the martial arts authority’s laws and give Xiang Yinglong an excuse to kill Zhou Yu outright.

But now, he had no clue how far to push Zhou Yu to infuriate him.

Provoke him too lightly, and Zhou Yu wouldn’t make a move.

Provoke him too aggressively, and if Zhou Yu did make a move and Xiang Yinglong failed to act, content to wait and reap the benefits, what then?

As Yao Pingsheng wrestled with this dilemma, suddenly, a subordinate rushed in hurriedly.

"Vice Minister Yao, Vice Minister Jiang Fengnian of the Qin State Martial Arts Authority has now arrived at the gates, and they are asking to see Zhou Yu by name."

"What should we do?"

On hearing this, Yao Pingsheng abruptly stood up.

Jiang Fengnian has come?

Yao Pingsheng’s brows furrowed deeply.

He had read Zhou Yu’s file; he knew that Zhou Yu had a good relationship with Jiang Fengnian.

Jiang Fengnian’s arrival at such a critical moment was, without a doubt, to save Zhou Yu.

Even if he couldn’t save him directly, he would surely request to supervise the enforcement of the law. Then, attempting any underhanded methods in private would be difficult.

Yao Pingsheng’s mind raced as he considered how to deal with this situation.

Seeing him not responding, his subordinate spoke cautiously:

"Vice Minister Yao, the guards at the gate are very anxious. They say that if we don’t open the gate soon, Jiang Fengnian is going to barge in."

Hearing this, Yao Pingsheng lifted his head with a dark expression and spoke coldly.

"Let’s go, I’ll take a look outside."

Having said that, he strode out.

...

Meanwhile, outside the headquarters of the Sea State Martial Arts Authority.

Jiang Fengnian had been waiting for ten minutes, but there was still no sign of activity.

He was certainly no saintly man or pious woman.

His temper flared on the spot.

"What a Sea State Martial Arts Authority, making me wait so long, you clearly don’t take me seriously."

"Today, I must get in and see who has the guts to stop me."

Having said this, Jiang Fengnian was about to force his way in.

But just at that moment, a cold voice came through.

"Jiang Fengnian, stop!"

Following the voice, Yao Pingsheng, accompanied by a large group of subordinates, appeared in the sight of Jiang Fengnian and his group, walking over quickly.

Jiang Fengnian’s eyebrows furrowed.

"Yao Pingsheng, I’ve heard that the Sea State Martial Arts Authority is domineering and ignores regulations; I’ve never truly believed it."

"But today, it seems the rumors have been understated. The Sea State Martial Arts Authority doesn’t even follow the basic rules. What are you trying to do, secede from the Martial Arts Authority system of Dragon Country?"

Yao Pingsheng’s face darkened.

With those words, Jiang Fengnian had put a significant accusation on him.

If this label stuck, the Sea State Martial Arts Authority might well face cleansing.

Yao Pingsheng roared angrily.

"Nonsense!"

"Jiang Fengnian, don’t falsely accuse others and spout nonsense."

"Falsely accuse others?"

Jiang Fengnian scoffed coldly.

"The rules of the Martial Pavilion are clear, regardless of the system, as long as one belongs to the Martial Pavilion’s internal system, only rank is recognized, not the individual, and the ban on discrimination is strict.

"But today, when I came to your Haizhou Martial Pavilion, I couldn’t even get through the front door."

"How do you explain that?"

Facing Jiang Fengnian’s rebuke, Yao Pingsheng’s eyes twitched, he took a deep breath, and his tone softened somewhat.

"Vice Minister Jiang, there’s no need to make a mountain out of a molehill, the guard didn’t recognize you, and he wasn’t trying to stop you, he just wanted you to wait a moment. He reported to me immediately, and here I am personally welcoming you, am I not?"

"Vice Minister Jiang, please come in, I’ve already prepared some tea as an apology."

Jiang Fengnian just wanted to intimidate Yao Pingsheng, he didn’t expect a few words alone would have any effect on him.

Now that he had delivered the intimidation, it was time to get down to business.

Jiang Fengnian said in a cold voice:

"Save your apologies."

"I, Jiang Fengnian, always act openly and aboveboard, and don’t make a fuss over small matters or engage in unsightly schemes."

Yao Pingsheng’s face darkened instantly.

"Vice Minister Jiang, what do you mean by that?"

"It feels to me like you are mocking me, or mocking our Haizhou Martial Pavilion?"

Jiang Fengnian said coldly:

"Whether my words are true or not, aren’t you very clear about it in your own hearts?"

"I won’t beat around the bush with you. I came here for Zhou Yu."

"Where is he?"

"I want to see him."

Yao Pingsheng’s heart tightened.

He had guessed that Jiang Fengnian came for Zhou Yu.

But he didn’t expect Jiang Fengnian’s attitude to be so tough, clearly, the relationship between him and Zhou Yu was much stronger than he had imagined.

This made things difficult.

Yao Pingsheng said gravely:

"Zhou Yu is currently suspected of killing our Haizhou Martial Pavilion’s Vice Minister Hou Guangshou, he is a major offender and not just anyone can see him!"

"Vice Minister Jiang, if you wish to see him, then please follow the regulations and show a directive from the Martial Pavilion headquarters."

Jiang Fengnian’s eyes narrowed.

"Playing games with me, Yao Pingsheng?"

"Fine, I might not see Zhou Yu today, but you, Haizhou Martial Pavilion, better prepare yourselves for the wrath of our minister."

After saying this, Jiang Fengnian flicked his sleeve, turned to Lin Luoluo and Ye Ling, and said:

"Let’s go."

Lin Luoluo and Ye Ling were taken aback; they hadn’t expected Jiang Fengnian to want to leave just like that?

They panicked and hurriedly tried to stop Jiang Fengnian, to argue further.

But at this moment, Jiang Fengnian gave them a meaningful glance.

Though they didn’t understand the meaning of his gesture, they were smart enough to swallow their words and follow Jiang Fengnian outside.

Just then, Yao Pingsheng’s phone rang.

He received a text message.

Yao Pingsheng scanned it and immediately a flash of shock crossed his eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, he called out to Jiang Fengnian:

"Vice Minister Jiang, hold on."

"You may meet Zhou Yu!"
