Soon, the three of Zhang Song left Li Musheng's courtyard.
"You two have both seen it. It's not that this general won't teach, but rather that His Highness the Eighth Prince won't learn. Farewell!"
General Wu'an snorted coldly and directly turned to leave.
"Amitabha."
Master Xuanyi chanted a Buddhist invocation and looked at Zhang Song, "Minister Zhang, it was rely getting the martial realm wrong. His Highness still has a very long road ahead on the martial path. This matter has no effect on him. Surely he wouldn't fly into a rage from embarrassnt and drive us poor monks and others out, would he?"
Hearing this, Zhang Song, in his official robes, stroked his beard and shook his head, saying hesitantly, "Although this official also feels this isn't much of an issue, it seems... His Highness the Eighth Prince truly appeared angry."
...
At this ti, Li Musheng was more than just angry. His defenses were completely broken.
After the three left, he returned to sit in the pavilion with an expressionless face, staring at the teacup before him, silent for quite a while.
"Could there truly be no martial transcendence? Is my current strength already the ceiling of this world?"
"Hmm... Is there a possibility that the 'Records of Wu Daoshi' looks like a story novel, but actually... although it is a story novel, it spoke the true essence of martial arts in one phrase, and by chance, I just happened to see through it."
Li Musheng pondered silently, consoling himself.
If martial transcendence didn't exist, he felt like he had suddenly lost his life goal. He had no motivation, and inexplicably just wanted to be a salted fish.
No, wait!
Just because they said there was no martial transcendence, did that an there truly was no martial transcendence?
Had they reached his level? He hadn't even spoken yet.
Li Musheng suddenly narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself, "Whether or not martial transcendence exists, I'm the person with the most authority to speak on it. What others say doesn't count."
"Only when one day I believe there's no martial transcendence will this world truly have no martial transcendence!"
And he was still very young now, younger than all the geniuses who had previously reached the peak of martial arts.
So he still had a very long ti to personally verify this matter.
Thinking of this, Li Musheng let out a light breath and picked up his teacup to take a sip, "Knowledge gained from books remains shallow in the end. To truly understand this matter requires personal practice. I need to seek truth through practice. Why should I listen to them spouting nonsense here?"
At this ti, Cang Yinyue had already finished applying the ointnt and returned to the courtyard with excitent between her brows.
She had just looked in the mirror. Although the tattoo on her face hadn't completely healed, it was already extrely faint.
After applying the dicine, she estimated that by tomorrow she could restore her appearance and would no longer need to wear the veil.
"Your Highness's kindness, Yinyue has no way to repay. From now on, as long as Your Highness has any orders, I will definitely do my utmost."
Cang Yinyue very solemnly saluted Li Musheng.
Li Musheng glanced at her. He could clearly sense that Cang Yinyue's gratitude toward him at this mont seed even higher than when he had saved her last night.
Sure enough, girls viewing their faces as more important than their lives truly wasn't just empty words.
Even an independent and strong young woman like Cang Yinyue couldn't escape convention!
Li Musheng raised his eyebrows, "Miss Cang, work for from now on."
Hearing this, Cang Yinyue nodded lightly and didn't refuse.
Her most important purpose in joining Six Doors and the Hidden Intelligence Bureau had been revenge.
Now that her great revenge had been taken, she truly had no need to continue staying there.
At this ti, Li Musheng continued, "Of course, Miss Cang still needs to maintain your identities at Six Doors and the Hidden Intelligence Bureau. Just consider yourself a triple agent."
Hearing this, Cang Yinyue was stunned. Her gaze toward Li Musheng was clearly sowhat strange.
Seeing this, Li Musheng suddenly sat up straight, his face imdiately showing a look of realization.
Was this what it ant to be a capitalist who didn't treat people as human?
He was having Cang Yinyue alone do three jobs. Wasn't this purely treating her like a work horse?
Thinking of this, Li Musheng imdiately felt ashad and quickly coughed twice, "I won't frequently have you work here. Your most important task from now on is to help search for the keys to open the Tianqi Secret Treasury. Besides that, I have no other special requirents of you."
Hearing this, Cang Yinyue breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Although she could handle three jobs, if she could be more relaxed, who wouldn't want that?
At this ti, Li Musheng waved his hand, "Miss Cang, you can return to Six Doors now. Help keep an eye on the situation at Qingshan Tower. Once there are definite leads on more keys, just notify promptly."
Hearing this, Cang Yinyue didn't ask much. After thinking for a mont, she spoke, "Regarding what happened at Cangyuan Marquis Manor last night, I didn't reveal the truth to Six Doors. I imagine they'll suppress the matter, so please rest assured, Your Highness. Your identity shouldn't be exposed."
However, Li Musheng shook his head, "I already left them a ssage about this matter."
Cang Yinyue's face imdiately showed a strange expression. At this ti, Li Musheng looked at her and said calmly, "Miss Cang, you're my person now, so you only need to rember one thing. From now on, no matter how big a problem you encounter, as long as it's a problem that can be solved with force, then it's not really a problem."
Cang Yinyue's eyes flickered. She looked deeply at Li Musheng, then finally nodded lightly, cupped her fists in salute, and took her leave.
After walking out of Li Musheng's courtyard, Cang Yinyue stopped and instinctively looked back. A trace of confusion floated in her clear, water-like eyes, "Is this what it feels like to have backing? There's inexplicably a sense of security. I suddenly feel very at ease."
Previously, she had always been alone. To avenge her mother and brother, she had exhausted all her efforts just to establish a foothold in the Hidden Intelligence Bureau.
But starting from today, it seed the situation was beginning to beco different...
...
After Cang Yinyue left, Commander Fu Qiwen followed shortly after and ca to Li Musheng's courtyard.
"I just heard that Your Highness drove away General Wu'an and the others. I wonder what matter you seek this minister for now?"
Fu Qiwen ca to a stop before Li Musheng and cupped his fists in a light salute.
Li Musheng glanced at him and raised an eyebrow, "Since Commander Fu has already decided to exterminate Falling God Peak, I wonder when you plan to act?"
Hearing this, Fu Qiwen looked up at Li Musheng, narrowing his eyes slightly. He didn't hide anything and said calmly, "Since His Majesty approved this matter, this minister has already begun to act."
Then he explained, "Last night, this minister already sent urgent secret dispatches from the imperial capital, summoning elite troops from Tianjin Guards in various provinces to secretly head to Lan Province where Falling God Peak is located."
"Those nearby can arrive within half a day. Those farther away can also arrive within ten days. This minister will also finish handling affairs in the imperial capital within three days, then leave Shangyang City for Falling God Peak."
Hearing this, Li Musheng nodded lightly, "Commander Fu acts imdiately upon deciding. Your execution is quite efficient."
Speaking, he looked at the other party leisurely, "Only, I wonder how confident Commander Fu feels in his heart?"
