Chapter 666: Chapter 648: Three Eminent Monks Join Forces to Pressure the Palace (Part 3)

“What? How… how is this possible? Li Chengnian, how can he have such abilities?” The Pavilion Master’s face changed drastically.

“Indeed, how can a re descendant of the Li family possess such awe-inspiring abilities?” The elder on the right slowly raised his head: “However, the facts are right before us. This child is no longer just a descendant under the protection of the Li family. He, himself, is the strongest and most dangerous person in the Li family! Compared to him, the entire Li family is insignificant. It’s wishful thinking to destroy him by leveraging the Li family!”

The elder on the left said, “We can only leverage another power!”

The elder on the right asked, “Whose power does the Eighth Elder wish to leverage?”

“Currently, this child is so arrogant, borrowing power from whom?”

“The Dynasty, Your Majesty!”

The Eighth Elder laughed: “Indeed, the Dynasty, Your Majesty. This is the greatest power behind him, which he utilizes with great ease. My ntal Path excels at bringing real power from the impossible! I will use the Imperial power to kill him!”

The elder on the right frowned slightly: “Whom specifically?”

“Do the Thirteenth Elders still rember, the Crown Prince Hong Ding has a sister?”

“Tiandu Demoness Hong Shanling?”

“There are nineteen Dynasty offspring, but how many are truly of the sa parents?” The Eighth Elder smiled: “This woman is of a wild nature, acting brazenly beyond all bounds and taboos, holding dual identities as the Tiandu Saintess and an Imperial Princess. Upon suddenly learning her only brother died at the hands of a fifth rank official, what would she do?”

The expressions of the two on the pavilion roof brightened simultaneously.

This thod is brilliant, it fits the Heart Pavilion’s design for killing.

It fits the style of eliminating soone and shaking the world.

At the sa ti, it can also plant a fuse within the Dynasty to prepare for its eventual overthrow…

Desert City, Li Mansion.

Last night, the skies were already thick with dark clouds.

This morning, Lin Xiaosu woke up in bed, and outside the window, the rain was softly pouring.

As soon as the misty rain arrived, the coolness of midsumr seeped into the bones.

As the clear wind blew, layers of fog rose over the river.

Lin Xiaosu slowly walked to the window and gazed distantly at the river’s breeze brushing the willows, a boat sailing through the mist, feeling the rain on his face and sang: “On the pillow, books and poems find leisure, at the door, scenery and rainfall are delightful… In this midsumr season, it’s still the misty rain on the river that brings peace of mind.”

A voice echoed through the mist outside the window: “It’s been a long ti since I heard you recite poetry, sir. It seems you’re in a good mood today. How about letting Qing Ying accompany you to East Mountain for a stroll, and enjoy the excellent tunes at Tingfeng Pavilion?”

“Listening to tunes at Tingfeng Pavilion? I think I lack the leisure for that,” said Lin Xiaosu, “Prepare a carriage, we’re entering the palace!”

“Enter the palace? Sir wants to enter the palace?” A gust of wind, and Qing Ying appeared before him.

This girl, traces of smoke and rain still lingered on her head, and there was surprise in her eyes.

“Yes, didn’t I tell you yesterday? Today, I’m getting promoted by two ranks!”

Qing Ying’s mouth hung open in the early morning confusion: “Sir, you… you’re entering the palace today, seeking a position?”

“Seeking a position is too vulgar! Is it sothing a cultured person like would do? I’m creating a condition for His Majesty to promote .”

Qing Ying blinked: “You haven’t even entered the palace, yet you’re so sure His Majesty will really promote you?”

“Don’t believe it? Want to make a bet?”

Qing Ying sighed: “Sir, if I had sothing you need, I would really be willing to bet, but I have nothing. What would I wager? I’ll go prepare the carriage!”

Half an hour later, Lin Xiaosu sat in the half-dragon carriage, leaving the Li Mansion.

As an official of this era, there are two ways to travel: one is the Official Seal soaring, the other is by horse carriage.

The Official Seal soaring is simple and convenient, but it seems ostentatious, and officials with no urgent matters won’t do it. They’ll choose to ride a carriage through the markets, to show they are with the people.

But carriages are also divided by rank.

The Emperor travels with eight Dragon Horses.

The Crown Prince travels with four Dragon Horses.

A Prince travels with three Dragon Horses.

Ordinary Princes, one to three horses, depending on how high-profile they are.

Outside of the Imperial Family, Dragon Horses cannot be used, only half-dragon horses.

What is a half-dragon horse? It has a trace of dragon blood, but after many generations of dilution, it hardly has any dragon characteristics left.

For instance, the horse at Lin Xiaosu’s house was an imperial gift, considered of good quality among half-dragon horses. However, it only has a piece of scale on its rear.

And this scale is quite ugly, calling it a dragon scale would be correct, saying it’s a sore on a horse’s backside wouldn’t be objected to.

But Lin Xiaosu didn’t care, sitting in the carriage, appreciating the graceful figure of the driver upfront.

Yes, Qing Ying’s figure is indeed very captivating.

Perhaps this is what soone of her role needs.

What matters isn’t her face, her bosom, or moisture, but swiftness and explosive waist power—hmm, let’s not misconstrue this.

Wind blowing, rain drifting…

There were far fewer pedestrians on the street, horse hooves clopping, heading towards the Imperial City.

The Imperial City could be entered directly because this carriage bore a fifth-rank insignia.

A fifth-rank official can directly enter the Imperial City.

But not the Palace.

Lin Xiaosu’s carriage stopped, informing the guarding Forbidden Army: “Please report, Fifth Rank Inspection Envoy Li Chengnian requests an audience with His Majesty!”

The Forbidden Army hearing the first few words showed disdain, a fifth-rank official requesting an audience with His Majesty?

Does His Majesty have ti to see such a trifling matter?

But they suddenly heard the na Li Chengnian.

The guarding Forbidden Army was startled internally.

These three words don’t hold much weight to most people, but for the Forbidden Army, it’s different. Their Great Commander Huo Gang showcased his prowess twice, sweeping through the Heart Pavilion and Tunyun Temple, all while accompanying one person.

This person is the newly promoted Inspection Envoy Li Chengnian!

These two grand operations boosted the Forbidden Army’s reputation trendously, overshadowing the Imperial Army, putting the Forbidden Army in an awkward position. Hence, the Forbidden Army guard’s attitude towards Lin Xiaosu was much more courteous: “Mr. Li, please wait here for a mont, I will report to His Majesty imdiately.”
