Chapter 451: Secret Sche
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
ng Jian kept his eyes firmly on Xu Ning.
As a disciple of the Athyst Mountain, he naturally knew of the Titanium Temple.
Every disciple of the Titanium Temple could disconnect themselves with the mortal world and live with carefreeness. They lived only for one sole purpose in this world and that was to cultivate to achieve Nirvana.
Everything they possessed was to cultivate. The X Buddha Law would have them achieve Nirvana sooner or later and entered the Titanium Temple at Thirty Days.
The disciples of the Titanium Temple usually would not interfere with mortal affairs. Even when they stepped in the mortal world, it would only be to strengthen their mind and for cultivation. They would not long for wealth and honor.
Who would have thought that this Xu Ning would work for an Imperial Residence.
Xu Ning suddenly opened his eyes and spoke, “Almsgiver ng, allow to report to His Royal Highness.”
“Please,” replied ng Jian.
Xu Ning pushed open the door of the Cultivation Courtyard and entered. A brief mont later, he pressed his palms together at the door. “Almsgiver ng, His Royal Highness has summoned you.”
ng Jian stepped into the Cultivation Courtyard.
King An was dressed in a purple robe, standing at the center of the courtyard with his hands behind his back, sizing up ng Jian.
King An’s handso face hung a smile. His gaze was calm and monotonous and his body breathed a scent of peace. ng Jian was doubtful that the person before him was a Prince but rather a practicing monk.
ng Jian closed fist saluted. “Your Royal Highness.”
“Young Master ng, please don’t be overly courteous. You’re not an outsider. Please be seated,” King An pointed by the stone table.
“Yes,” answered ng Jian.
The two of them sat by the stone table with Xu Ning standing not far away. He was as unwavering as a tree.
ng Jian swept his gaze at Xu Ning. He was curious. Xu Ning was a disciple of the Titanium Temple. He was no ordinary man yet he willingly humbled himself and stood as a Scribe?
“Your Royal Highness, I wish to ask how my brother died,” ng Jian began.
King An frowned. “You’re able to deduce that he’s dead?”
ng Jian nodded.
King An continued, “He actually left the Residence on his own accord. I did not allow him out. We lost contact soon after and I’ve sent soone to investigate but he ca up with nothing. I really have no idea what has happened to him. We assud the worst.”
He sighed and shook his head. “ng Zhi is a rare talent and he has helped a lot. It’s such a sha.”
ng Jian added, “Did my brother have any enemies?”
“As the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Residence, it would be usual to step on a few toes. Talking about enemies, it would not lead up to murder.” King An scowled.
“My brother has enemies, I reckon?” asked ng Jian.
King An fell deep into thought and finally spoke, “He doesn’t really have any enemies. They are all small matters that wouldn’t appeal to death.”
ng Jian ntioned, “There must be sothing. Why won’t Your Royal Highness be honest?”
“He did have so conflict with the Head Chief here. However, these are all work affairs. He received my orders to suppress the Head Chief but was taught a lesson by the Head Chief instead.” King An shook his head.
“Head Chief? I wish to et with this Head Chief.” ng Jian sneered.
King An looked at Xu Ning.
Xu Ning pressed his palms together. “Your Royal Highness, the Head Chief is currently in seclusion at the Secret Guardians Hall. It has been half a month.”
“Oh, he is now a Secret Guardian of the Imperial House. Young Master ng should refrain from offending him.” King An smiled.
“... I was thinking of waiting for this Head Chief in the Imperial Residence.”
“We would definitely welco you. With a master such as yourself, I can focus on cultivating. As for the Head Chief, Xu Ning, please send soone to investigate when the Head Chief will return to the Residence,” King An replied.
“Your Royal Highness. It’s said that the Head Chief is in seclusion and will see no one.” Xu Ning pressed his palms together.
“Sounds about right. The Head Chief will not see anyone when he’s cultivating.” King An nodded.
Xu Ning slowly offered, “The Secret Guardians Hall has communicated that the Head Chief is being held captive in the Secret Guardians Hall. Although it is ntioned that he is in seclusion, in actuality, he is being held captive.”
King An frowned. “Has he offended the Secret Guardians Hall?”
“Princess Consort has killed two of the Secret Guardians. How could the House of Secret Guardians be nice to the Head Chief?” explained Xu Ning.
“Oh, this guy... What a reckless showoff. With a character such as his, how could he survive the Secret Guardians Hall?” King An scoffed.
ng Jian could tell that King An was dissatisfied with this Head Chief.
He was struck by a thought internally but bore no gesture. He calmly responded, “No worries. As there’s nothing to do since I have left the mountain, I can walk around the Fairy’s Capital.”
“You need not be uncomfortable at the Residence. Do as you please. If you have any request, please look for Elder Zhu.” King An gestured.
“Thank you, Your Royal Highness,” said ng Jian.
“It’s not easy for disciples of the Athyst Mountain to leave the mountain. For Young Master to leave, you must be quite the talent. I wonder of your future plans, Young Master ng,” said King An.
“The original plan was to et with my brother. Who knew that he would et with an accident. I will avenge him first before I consider anything,” answered ng Jian.
King An eagerly responded, “What about coming over to the Imperial Residence?... Although it will not be that free will in execution, it will be easier to cultivate. You’ll et with masters from all walks of life in the Fairy’s Capital. Broadening your knowledge is advantageous to your cultivation.”
“Thank you for your hospitality,” ng Jian was surprised. He did not think that he would so openly solicit him. He closed fist saluted and smiled. “We’ll talk once I have avenged my brother. For now, I have no thoughts on other matters.”
“Alright then. The Athyst Mountain has always been a mysterious presence. Once Young Master ng’s identity is leaked, a lot of people will co to pay a visit.” King An nodded.
“I will keep my identity a secret,” added ng Jian.
King An let out a smile.
ng Jian closed fist saluted. “I will excuse myself and will not bother Your Royal Highness with your cultivation.”
“Yes, yes. Once I am out of seclusion, we should find a ti to chit chat.” King An closed fist saluted and smiled.
“Alright.” ng Jian got up and left.
Xu Ning sent him off the courtyard. Upon returning, he saw King An in a pleasant mood.
King An grinned. “Revered Sir, he should be suspicious of Chu Li, right?”
“Yes, this person is stubborn and conceited. He will not let go of Head Chief Chu.” Xu Ning nodded.
“Hehe. No matter how smart Chu Li may be, he would never think of this! ... He should work on his killing on behalf sche. My technique is the true embodint of killing by soone else’s hand. No hint, no trace.” chuckled King An.
Xu Ning smiled and did not comnt.
He would not believe that Chu Li was completely oblivious about it but what was the point of knowing, he couldn’t possibly kill King AnKing An with his hands anyway.
The key was not on King An but rather His Majesty. As long as His Majesty was around, Chu Li would not lay a finger on King An.
He found it interesting. Would King An eliminate Chu Li or the other way round?
It seed to be worthwhile for him to co over to the Imperial Residence to witness this.
——
In a courtyard in the Secret Guardians Hall, Chu Li and Xu Huande were having a heated exchange.
Xu Huande dully spoke. “Chu Li, I have so news to share with you ahead of ti. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
“Oh, thank you then, Commander Xu. What is it?” asked Chu Li.
“ng Jian from the Athyst Mountain has arrived at the Fairy’s Capital. He should be going into the Imperial Residence of King An by today. You should know how powerful a disciple of the Athyst Mountain is, right?” continued Xu Huande.
Chu Li raised his eyebrow.
It finally happened!
“There can never be two suns in the sky. You’re a Head Chief with a high position and authority but your cultivation level may not surpass that of ng Jian’s,” said Xu Huande.
“How would you know? We would have to exchange blows before we know that, right?” Chu Li rebutted.
“If a disciple of the Athyst Mountain wishes to leave the mountain, similar to the Titanium Temple, they must achieve high cultivation levels. For ng Jian to leave the mountain, he must possess so ultimate techniques. You’re not on good terms with King An, so he will probably use him to defeat you,” added Xu Huande.
Chu Li smiled.
Xu Huande spoke, “And during then, the Secret Guardians Hall will be your backing.”
Chu Li raised his brows and smiled. “So Commander Xu is planning to profit from this misfortune, huh?”
