Chapter 1569: Chapter 1570: Foolish for the Sake of the Lord
"Is this all your doing?"
Su Chengyu slowly spoke, finally understanding some behind-the-scenes matters that he was previously unaware of.
Ye Wujiang sighed softly, "I returned to the Capital too late, by then your grandfather had already been convicted. I admit I didn’t have the ability to overturn his conviction, and it seemed he didn’t wish for that either. But since he trusted me enough to see me one last time, I would do everything in my power for him. Now, can you let go of your guard against me?"
"Uncle Ye, I..."
Su Chengyu stood up, subconsciously wanting to defend himself.
Ye Wujiang shook his head gently and said softly, "I understand your concerns, and I know that even if Zhuang Yihan conveyed my words to you, you still wouldn’t want to meet with me. After all, over the years, regarding your grandfather’s affairs, I haven’t been able to offer much help or support to her. But you must understand that she is ultimately the greatest hope of the Ye Family. As a father, I really don’t want her to be mired in this quagmire."
"Uncle Ye, seeing things so clearly yet not stopping them was already the greatest support," Su Chengyu said.
Ye Wujiang shook his head, clearly unable to convince even himself with that argument, he sighed deeply.
"Not dead yet, but the heart has died; otherwise, how could I have remained indifferent to everything?"
Su Chengyu immediately understood that Ye Wujiang was referring to the recent assassination attempt, and he took the initiative to say, "I understand your difficulties, Uncle Ye. The more you visibly help me, the more it would make others suspect something is wrong. And it’s not just about exposing my identity, but also putting Aunt Qingci in danger."
Ye Wujiang looked up at Su Chengyu unexpectedly, "Did you come up with all these things yourself?"
Su Chengyu hesitated for a moment, then said, "It was my teacher, Lord Chou, who taught me."
"Qiu Tianlin?"
Su Chengyu nodded and then, for the first time in public, took out the Token of the Heavenly Punishment Secret Envoy.
Ye Wujiang looked at the Token, his figure shuddered for a moment, then he immediately raised his hand to add another barrier on top of it.
"This token is of great importance. In some sense, it is even more crucial not to let others know about it than your true identity."
The purpose of the Heavenly Punishment Department back in the day was to oversee the Two Bureaus and Three Departments, as well as the reigning Emperor.
Nowadays, after the Emperor spent decades undermining the Heavenly Punishment Department’s power, naturally, he wouldn’t allow them any chance of making a comeback.
Su Chengyu nodded and said, "I understand, but I trust you, Uncle Ye."
Feeling Su Chengyu’s goodwill, Ye Wujiang nodded and finally spoke, "So, how did Qiu Tianlin survive?"
"Dragon Vein."
With those simple two words, Ye Wujiang immediately understood and chuckled, "So that’s it, no wonder you dared to face that ambush. Qiu Tianlin is your last resort."
Su Chengyu nodded, "Though out of necessity, if it really came to a desperate situation, I could only rely on my teacher to escort me out of the Capital."
And once that happens, naturally, only Su Chengyu would remain alive.
"Qiu Tianlin should still be able to hide for some time, but news about the Dragon Veins has probably already reached His Majesty’s ears by now."
By using the Dragon Vein to enter the Pseudo Realm, Su Chengyu had already been noticed by countless people.
This hidden embryonic Dragon Vein, which had been concealed for decades, was naturally exposed to people’s eyes.
Qiu Tianlin was still able to hide himself within it using Earth Immortal Techniques. After all, when Master Chang Chun personally came, Qiu Tianlin didn’t want to reveal himself and the latter still didn’t see through his identity. However, the Dragon Vein itself was no longer a secret.
"What will His Majesty do to me?"
Ye Wujiang shook his head and said, "It’s hard to say. Although we are all out of this ambush, everyone understands that this is a test for you as the new Tian Heng Saint Envoy. His Majesty, who instigated this test, surely won’t foolishly think you don’t understand even this much. Now that you have survived the siege, along with the reckless actions of that girl from Lin An, His Majesty will naturally have to use certain means to compensate you."
Su Chengyu responded in disbelief: "Even so, it’s impossible that he would just gift me an entire Dragon Vein, right?"
In the vast Xia Country, how many Dragon Veins are there? Although the Dragon Vein at Mount Qilong is not majestic, it is still one of the few remaining in the world.
However, upon hearing this, Ye Wujiang chuckled lightly and said: "A complete Dragon Vein is naturally impossible, but after all, it is only an embryonic Dragon Vein. How to handle this embryonic Dragon Vein, His Majesty will naturally be extremely cautious. At least he won’t blame you, even if he won’t let you possess the Dragon Vein."
"My teacher cannot leave that Dragon Vein, so..."
Su Chengyu took the initiative to tell Ye Wujiang about his situation. The recovery of Qiu Tianlin must utilize the nurturing of the embryonic Dragon Vein. He may not need that Dragon Vein but for Qiu Tianlin, it’s of great importance.
After considering for a moment, Ye Wujiang said, "Then you might have to take a trip to the Imperial Observatory."
"Master Chang Chun?"
Su Chengyu unexpectedly spoke out, not expecting it to involve Master Chang Chun again.
Ye Wujiang lifted his head and explained: "Matters of the Dragon Vein’s fortune are originally managed by the Imperial Observatory. If Master Chang Chun is willing to speak for you, your chances would greatly increase. Of course, it would be best if National Teacher Ji Yaoguang could also speak some good words on your behalf. If she speaks out, the matter is practically guaranteed."
"The Lord National Master can also manage this matter?"
Su Chengyu spoke in astonishment.
Ye Wujiang smiled: "Otherwise, why do you think she is called the National Teacher? To merely hold a nominal position leading the Imperial Academy? Not to mention affairs of the Two Bureaus, even the Three Departments are influenced by Ji Yaoguang. After all, among today’s leaders of the Two Bureaus and Three Departments, only Ji Yaoguang was personally supported by His Majesty, while others have some faint relationships with the late Emperor."
The Demon Slayer Department by Yang Chengyin was fostered by Su Linyuan, the Dragon Soul Department by Ye Qingming is Ye Wujiang’s son, the nominal Sect Master of the Heavenly Punishment Department is still Qiu Tianlin, and Master Chang Chun was also stationed in the Capital City during the reign of the late Emperor.
Only National Teacher Ji Yaoguang is personally selected by the Heavenly Son.
"The control desire of His Majesty the Emperor is more terrifying than I imagined."
Su Chengyu mused, coming back to his senses.
Ye Wujiang sighed deeply: "There are pros and cons. If he is a wise ruler, it’s a good thing; but if he is foolish..."
"Uncle Ye, do you think His Majesty is wise or foolish?"
Ye Wujiang slowly lifted his gaze onto Su Chengyu and spoke softly: "Such things should not be carelessly discussed."
"I trust Uncle Ye."
From the moment he saw the identity information of Su Beiming, Su Chengyu no longer had any doubts about Ye Wujiang. Since his own grandfather trusted Ye Wujiang and entrusted his latter half of life to the former Sect Master of the Dragon Soul Department, why shouldn’t he trust him?
"Clear in serving the country, but unclear in serving the lord."
