How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?! Chapter 764 - 673: Pursuing the Case at the Prefect’s Prison

"This isn’t a matter of ti, with Brother Su’s charm, capturing the Tiandu Saintess shouldn’t be an issue. How did she escape your clutches?" Gu Suixin’s eyes sparkled, "I seem to understand a bit now!"

"Understand what?"

"The problem likely lies in the inability to accurately communicate!" Gu Suixin said, "She doesn’t know you can amplify your physical prowess, she thinks you lack the capability to accomplish that task, agreeing or not makes no difference. So Brother Su, in the coming days, you must clearly convey this signal to her, let her know you can achieve that. No one truly invests in sothing they see no hope in, you have to let her see hope..."

Lin Xiaosu covered his forehead with his hand, a voice echoed back, "If one day I realize you’ve played this prank on , I’ll definitely settle the score with you!"

"You..." Gu Suixin sighed, "When told to court a girl, you consider it a prank? Please, create such conditions for , give ten pranks like this! I won’t complain, I’ll even invite you to Xianyin Pavilion for a lody."

Lin Xiaosu was left speechless, courting girls!

You think I dislike courting girls?

But such a girl, to court her... is already a scandalous task, okay?

Suddenly, above the sky, there was a slight tremor, and a golden bridge, like a rainbow after the rain, spanned the heavens.

On the golden bridge, there were three people.

Among these three, Lin Xiaosu recognized two.

Naly, Minister of the Ministry of Justice Song Lifu, and his Guard Captain, along with another, a middle-aged man in a fourth rank official uniform, likely a mid-level officer like the Ministry of Justice Chief.

Song Lifu descended from high up, landing directly on the flagship where Lin Xiaosu was.

Lin Xiaosu rose from his seat, bowing, "Greetings, Master Song!"

"Mr. Su," Song Lifu returned the courtesy, "I have traveled overnight from Beijing because of an unexpected incident. Last night, a master broke into the prison in Ning City and took away those one hundred and twenty-seven people."

The faces of all the guards on the flagship changed.

They were very clear about those one hundred and twenty-seven people, whom they had personally brought out from the Heart Pavilion.

They handed them over to Prefect Song Yuncang, following very strict handover procedures.

That was just yesterday, perfect timing of a day and a night ago.

These over one hundred people, all Heart Pavilion elders, placed in Ning City, were supposed to be serious offenders, how could they have been taken away in such a short ti?

Though cultivators in Jiangnan could be unruly, it’s rare for them to dare break into the prefect’s prison to abduct soone.

Only one person, his heart raced.

He was Zhang Tao.

He had once discussed these one hundred and twenty-seven people with Lin Xiaosu.

Lin Xiaosu had told him that these over one hundred people were a trap he set for Song Yuncang.

He had not explicitly stated what kind of trap it was, but Zhang Tao was not a foolish man. Zhang Tao naturally understood that if these over one hundred people were to be interrogated by the Ministry of Justice, they would surely reveal so unfavorable testimonies against Song Yuncang.

Your Majesty already wanted to set an example, to take down so representative figures from the Crown Prince’s period in officialdom to rectify court customs. As long as Song Yuncang is bitten by these over one hundred people, his reputation and position would be at great risk.

So, although it seed like Song Yuncang had achieved a great success by taking over a hundred people from Lin Xiaosu’s hands, in reality, the people he took would beco a hot potato for him.

And now, before the Ministry of Justice arrived, the prison was raided.

Those over one hundred people were all rescued.

With no people, there’s nothing for the Ministry of Justice to interrogate, Song Yuncang is thereby protected.

If this was Lin Xiaosu’s strategy, then this prison raid cleanly and thoroughly broke his strategy.

If Song Yuncang really had given those one hundred and twenty-seven people to the ntal Path, he could even be considered as making a great contribution to them.

This must not have been a prison raid; this must have been Song Yuncang’s orchestrated theft from his own post.

This was the quick judgnt from the Personal Guard Captain, renowned for his prowess in intelligence.

Lin Xiaosu’s eyes slowly lifted, his face calm, even with a faint smile, "Master Song, having traveled so far and through such hardship, have a seat and enjoy a cup of tea first!"

Song Lifu took a deep breath, "Mr. Su, given the gravity of the matter, you still have the mind to drink tea?"

Lin Xiaosu smiled, "If I say that this matter was within my expectation, would you still be willing to have a cup, Master?"

The entire ship was shocked.

Song Lifu’s gaze slowly moved to the tea table, stepping there.

Fu Fu served, pouring Song Lifu a cup.

"Mr. Su, please speak frankly!" Song Lifu said.

Upon his words, golden light enveloped the surrounding tea table like a curtain.

He and Lin Xiaosu were suddenly as if banished from everyone’s sight, far away.

This also ant it was soundproof.

The Official Seal could also accomplish soundproofing.

"Then I will speak directly!" Lin Xiaosu raised the teacup, gently sipping a bit, "What’s the Heart Pavilion, Master knows, Your Majesty knows, and naturally this official knows too. Yesterday, when I surrounded the Huzhou Heart Pavilion with troops, it was in essence a test for Prefect Song Yuncang. As long as he was involved with the Heart Pavilion or ntal Path, he would surely step out to stop ."

Song Lifu’s heart subtly skipped a beat, but he did not speak.

Lin Xiaosu continued, "Indeed he stepped out to stop from taking harsh actions against the Heart Pavilion. If this official truly intended to annihilate the Heart Pavilion, he wouldn’t have been able to stop , but I did him a favor, gifting him these one hundred and twenty-seven elders. These one hundred and twenty-seven elders were still a test for him, testing his ties with the Heart Pavilion, whether it was to the extent of being unspeakable."

Light flickered in Song Lifu’s eyes, a component of thought, yet he still remained silent.
