"No matter what I do, Han Wenxin just doesn’t trust . Look, even when I ca to Linchuan Prefecture, Han Wenxin had to assign an Innate Sixth Realm master to monitor ," the Pharmacist lanted. The master from the Innate Sixth Realm was forcibly assigned to him by Han Wenxin under the pretext of his insufficient strength.
Even if he wanted to refuse, he found no reason to do so, especially considering he was just a Postnatal Third Realm profligate son a few months ago. Even if he had an epiphany and reford, the Pharmacist couldn’t instantly advance to the Innate Realm.
Like Feng Jiu, who was an exception, Qing Yu didn’t want just anyone to beco a Tribulation Slave. Although the "Black Heaven Book" offered many conveniences, Tribulation Slaves couldn’t stay far from their Tribulation Master for long, which ultimately was a significant limitation.
"Innate Realm, is it that weak? It seems the Sixth Prince doesn’t value you that much," Qing Yu’s focus was a bit odd, not minding the expert from the Innate Sixth Realm, but rather paying attention to how the Sixth Prince valued the Pharmacist.
"My lord, the Innate Realm already represents the Sixth Prince’s utmost attention towards his subordinates. The Sixth Prince agreeing to let Han Wenxin assign such a master to protect would already make most people swear undying loyalty to the Sixth Prince," the Pharmacist helplessly reminded.
Really? It seed so.
Suddenly, Qing Yu realized that he had encountered many strong individuals recently, either from the True Pill Realm or the Divinity Realm. Those from the Divine Origin Realm seed insignificant in front of those from the True Pill and Divine Communication. This led him to misunderstand the importance of the Divine Origin Realm.
In any major force, the True Pill Realm was considered the backbone, and having a handful of such individuals were a sign of a formidable force. As for those from the Divinity Realm level, they were like nuclear weapons from Qing Yu’s previous life, seldom used.
The Divine Origin Realm, however, accounted for fa-worthy experts in worldly society. For instance, the arrest officer Lin Tengyuan from the Six Gates in Linchuan Prefecture was one of the major players dividing the interests of Linchuan Prefecture. Apart from the top four Golden Seal Divine Constables in the Six Gates, those at the Silver Seal Level were the most significant (excluding Luo Yan and other such exceptional promotions).
Thinking this, Qing Yu suddenly realized he was considered an expert in worldly society as well. Ranked eighth in his younger generation on the Dragon and Phoenix List, Lu Yi died by his hand. Even though it was sowhat an unfair victory, Qing Yu was only at the Innate Fifth Realm, three Realms lower than Lu Yi. Such strength, in a more remote and backward area, would have been enough to rule supre.
With that in mind, Qing Yu nonchalantly said, "Since that’s the case, just get rid of this ’bodyguard’ Han Wenxin sent to you."
"Get rid of him? My lord, doing that will deepen Han Wenxin’s suspicions of ," the Pharmacist advised.
"Han Wenxin is very suspicious by nature, deepening his suspicion makes no difference. Since that’s the case, why let this spy keep watching over you all day? With your strength, you’re not capable of killing an Innate Realm martial artist, so there’s no need to worry about being a pri suspect.
Just eliminate him and pin the bla on any power in Linchuan Prefecture. As long as the Sixth Prince doesn’t suspect you, it doesn’t matter how suspicious Han Wenxin is."
As soone who shared certain similarities with Han Wenxin, Qing Yu naturally concluded Han Wenxin was severely paranoid—a trait he himself possessed.
Or rather, for cautious people like them, it was common to be paranoid.
"Rather, it’s more like..." Qing Yu spoke and suddenly smiled, "Han Wenxin’s continuous suspicions of you actually served as a cover for you. He must have advised the Sixth Prince multiple tis, expressing his suspicions, but was never able to provide concrete evidence.
Even this ti, without evidence to prove it was you, the Sixth Prince, due to past mindset inertia, will still likely believe Han Wenxin is overly anxious and has wronged you."
The Pharmacist carefully considered and found it highly feasible. From his observations while working under the Sixth Prince, although the Sixth Prince was well-versed in worldly wisdom, adept at connecting with various talents and useful individuals, and was highly intelligent, he had a subtle flaw.
Perhaps due to overconfidence, the Sixth Prince was a very self-assured and stubborn person. Although usually willing to listen to others and cautious in making decisions, once a decision was made, he was completely convinced of its correctness, and it was hard for anyone to sway him otherwise.
"In that case, I should first plan how to eliminate Zhong Biao," the Pharmacist decided, readying to plan the elimination of the master nad Zhong Biao from the Innate Sixth Realm.
"Why plan for it? Killing an Innate Sixth Realm doesn’t need such trouble. The timing is perfect now; I’m going to take Zhong Biao’s life," Qing Yu declared, rising from the Taishi Chair.
"My lord..."
Qing Yu chuckled lightly, understanding the Pharmacist’s concerns. Despite frequently taking action, even the appearance of the Pharmacist in this scenario was manipulated by Qing Yu himself. However, due to cautious thinking, Qing Yu always used Feng Jiu as his shield.
To these subordinates, Feng Jiu, who had always stayed in the Mountain River Academy and done nothing, was truly the fearso one, the master controlling their fates. As for Qing Yu, he was rely an unknown figure sent by the master.
During this visit, Qing Yu hadn’t used ng De’s face; rather, he twisted into a new, ordinary-looking face, around twenty years old. Outsiders wouldn’t guess the power this seemingly average young man possessed. An Innate Sixth Realm was a high-end strength among the younger generation, still quite above the Pharmacist.
But Qing Yu didn’t bother to explain; soon, the news of Zhong Biao’s death would speak louder than any explanation.
He left the secret room and entered the Pharmacist’s study. From the stack of books on the desk, it was evident the Pharmacist hadn’t neglected his studies even in his free ti. It seed the previous major change had indeed significantly impacted him.
The sky outside was beginning to lighten; Qing Yu had made a covert visit in the dead of night, reviewed multiple forces’ information, and conversed with the Pharmacist; now the ti was nearing dawn. Dawn was a pri ti for assassination.
Additionally... Qing Yu glanced down at his black night clothes, specialized attire for assassination, saving him the trouble of changing clothes.
The only not-so-suitable thing was...
Tying a black face scarf, Qing Yu found its poor breathability hard to adjust to. He wondered why thieves, assassins, and all sorts of unseen folk liked to use scarves. Though convenient to carry, what would one do if, in the heat of combat, the scarf caused one to adjust their breathing improperly and get killed by their adversary in retaliation?
"Next ti, I must prepare a mask; a scarf truly seems suited only for henchn..."
