Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1412 - 820: Why Keep You

In fact, Marquis Gu Wen also felt the same way.

This niece has always been enigmatic.

Gu Sansi flicked the dust off his sleeve.

"Women, power, those are your matters, I certainly don’t mind."

"Choosing you... was only because my prophecy aimed at you back then... you possess part of the Monarch’s Destiny, and I have been searching for a possible reincarnated monarch."

"But over the years... you’ve disappointed me, Bai Yuanxiu."

Gu Sansi walked into the corridor.

"The person I’m looking for, although I detest him, is indeed the strongest monarch in the world, unifying territories, creating a prosperous era, and building a peak-level Human Race."

"Although you are quite capable, you tend to take hidden paths, lacking the Emperor’s Mind Technique..."

After a pause, Gu Sansi said, "Of course, I’m certain you’re not the one... it’s also because she denies you, so you must not be."

"Since you’re not, why should I keep you?"

Monarch’s Destiny? Suspected monarch? Impersonator?

At this moment, Gu Sansi was so cold it was shocking, somehow reminiscent of the aura Sui Yi exuded.

—They were looking down on them with supreme posture.

An uncomfortable stance that made one feel immensely uneasy!

Bai Yuanxiu remained expressionless: "If I were, then what?"

"Keep him, let him wield power alone again, or..."

"Kill him! Eliminate future threats!"

The reasons for the change in these two completely different handling methods are something others will never know, they only know Gu Sansi spoke these words in front of so many people... it certainly couldn’t be false.

And Marquis Gu Wen glanced at Bai Yuanxiu.

Monarch’s Destiny? So he’s not?

No wonder this niece has grown increasingly indifferent toward him over the years.

Before leaving, Gu Sansi left some words, which also made others not dare to look at Bai Yuanxiu’s current miserable state.

"Don’t look at me with that eye of suspecting abandonment by me... Bai Yuanxiu, without the Gu Family, it would make you more comfortable in your pride, if you hate the support from the Gu Family on one hand yet fear its abandonment on the other, then you are even more disgraceful than I knew."

No need to look at what happens next, anyway he stood upright and said to Marquis Gu Wen, "According to judicial regulations, I’ve already upset the other party, I will voluntarily withdraw from the action targeting her this time."

Words resoundingly, posture natural.

At least he still stands proudly among those panicking and indecisive.

Marquis Gu Wen sighed inwardly, such an excellent person even his niece finds unworthy, indeed his family people are far more outstanding.

But the screen displayed a scene that shattered Bai Yuanxiu’s empire seven to eight points with just one conversation, what was it then?

And that kind of power...

"Prepare!"

Bai Yuanxiu patted the dust off his body, strode out, and left.

Inside the conference room.

Marquis Gu Wen gave his command.

"Revise the diplomatic strategy towards Sui Yi, Chu Muzhe, you’ll be the person in charge, Yi Chilian, you temporarily take over Jing Wei’s affairs."

"Yes!"

A matter was so lightly put down.

Of course, the subsequent impact on the Imperial Guard System and the destructive blow to the Bai Faction are issues for later.

At the moment, in another area.

This is the most terrifying and secretive Central Prison.

There is a large square in the core of the prison surrounded on all sides.

Many vicious criminals were released onto the square, these criminals ferociously attacked the dozen people in the center.

The dozen people instantly split up, rushing at these hundreds of criminals...

After ten breaths, criminals lay limp on the ground everywhere, and many prison officers with bruised faces were panting at this moment.

One person shouted towards the woman sitting on the high chair above: "Officer Xiao, can we change next time, we have only fifteen people, yet a hundred moderate criminals at once, it’s too excessive!"

Xiao Yu remained expressionless: "Alright."

Oh yeah!

"A hundred and fifty tomorrow!"

Damn it!

Wailing ghosts and crying wolves scattered all over the ground.

Xiao Yu remained oblivious, merely said indifferently: "Want to continue guarding criminals here or go out with me to capture them? The difference between the two is merely five months to a year of such arduous training."

After the casual remark, she disappeared, entering that towering building.

Silence spread over the playground.

"Like ten years ago, Officer Xiao was even weaker than the weakest among us, she joined Central Prison a few years ago, and now she is able to deal with SSS-level criminals with SS-level strength, although her extraordinary talent and recognition from the Prison Chief had part to play, her years of relentless training are genuine..."

"Same training as us every day?"

"The same? You think too much, on the first day she was thrown into the prison by the Prison Chief, dealing with hundreds of criminals alone every time..."

"Her highest record was entering intensive care twenty-five times in one month."

Whoa?!!!

Xiao Yu entered the building cluster, reached the top floor.

Suddenly heard a voice from inside the room.

"Such a disgrace happened over at the Imperial Guards... really embarrassing."

Xiao Yu knocked.

"Come in."

The person with long legs crossed and resting against the table at this moment was raising his chin, looking at the scene on the screen, expressionless.

This kind of secret shouldn’t have been leaked so quickly, but what kind of existence is the Prison Chief of Central Prison, ranked one level above Marquis Gu Wen in official rank! And in terms of strength, he belongs to the nation’s top Overlord Level!

So within three minutes, this information was before him, moreover, in high-definition **** video even with narrated explanation!

Xiao Yu looked at the screen.. watched for a while, stunned.

"Is that your friend?"

Xiao Yu snapped back to reality, "Yeah."

"That Sui Yi, I’ve vaguely heard of before. I thought she was a flash in the pan, but didn’t expect her to be so formidable... Do you know what tier she belongs to?"

Xiao Yu shook his head.

The person on the chair smirked faintly.

Calmly said, "At least 4, maybe even 5, standing at the pinnacle of this world..."

"Little Yumu, with a friend like this, plus me as your mentor, you can dominate the world, even revenge would be a breeze."

This joke was strangely chilling, like a half-smile.

Xiao Yu was stunned.

————————

Courtyard area in the Capital City.

In the sky, twenty surveyors, free from the net’s restraint, all fell to the ground, also seeing the bodies that had landed.

Not one of them died, instead, it was their superior, Jing Wei, who died.

This person even communicated with the headquarters over there.

What does this mean?

All they saw was Sui Yi standing on the garden wall, turning to glance at them.

Those eyes were deep enough to swallow all their fears.

She’s not human!

"Go!"

They swiftly lifted Jing Wei and fled away.

Holding the phone, Sui Yi turned and saw Su Zimu on the path, the girl still carrying a bag of fruit, stood there, who knows how long she had been watching, but she seemed a bit stunned at the moment.

Was she scared?

Probably not.

Because she smiled and walked over.

"That was Jing Wei, right?"

"Yes," Sui Yi took the bag and placed it on the stone table.

"He was Yue Beiqing and Ming Lanyuan’s superior... also Yi Chilian’s rival. He’s dead, Bai Yuanxiu lost an arm, and the vacancy won’t easily be filled by his men— if Yi Chilian is swift... Or are you considering having our people take over?"

Su Zimu’s analysis and suggestions were quite feasible.

However, she obviously hadn’t heard Sui Yi’s conversation with the Imperial Guards.

Neither did she know the depth of it.

"Letting others take charge isn’t interesting, and with the internal power struggles within the Imperial Guards, rushing in without a foundation isn’t good... Let Yi Chilian handle it."

Saying this, Sui Yi tossed the washed fruit up to the second floor.

"Wang Qing, have a melon."

Wang Qing caught it, looked at this green... bumpy-skinned fruit.

She seemed a little puzzled, played with it with her fingers, but still took a bite.

Su Zimu: "Uh, Sui Yi, that’s a bitter gourd..."

Sui Yi: "I know."

Wang Qing: (⊙﹏⊙).

Bitter, very bitter.

As Wang Qing squinted her eyes, Sui Yi already decisively went inside with the fruit intended for Pu Qinghan, prompting Su Zimu to chuckle beside her.

Just earlier intimidating the Imperial Guards and shaking the entire Imperial Guard System, Sui Yi can be quite cunning indeed.

If the Imperial Guards knew that an equally world-peaking master was bullied like this by Sui Yi...

Probably there wouldn’t be much to complain about.

And today was truly a good day for Zhiyuan Mansion.

Ye Chunan was coming back, and Gong Jiu and the others were also returning...

"Let’s have a barbecue,"

Su Zimu suggested.

"At home?" Sui Yi was intrigued.

"Sure, why not."

The two discussed a group barbecue. You have to know this season is truly the best time for spring outings and barbecues. Besides, since Sui Yi returned, they haven’t played together as a group. If they cherish the time, and in the future, if a crisis arrives and they become busy, wouldn’t it be a pity?

"But since there are many of us, if we want it to be more fun, we could consider going to Cherry Snow Forest. Cao Ling mentioned to me earlier that the cherry blossoms these past days have been blooming beautifully."

Cherry Snow Forest is one of the poshest areas in the Capital City, not accessible to ordinary people. As the name suggests, Cherry Snow Forest is a forest full of cherry blossoms.

Moreover, the forest is enormous, covering five hundred acres of cherry trees...

It’s hard to imagine how beautiful it is when the flowers are blooming.

Sui Yi was also somewhat interested and agreed.

By the time evening arrived, Gong Jiu and others arrived one after another, having been rushing around outside, either dealing with hunters or handling official affairs. After dinner, they were mostly exhausted—in the outside world, they’re always energetic, only at home...

It was thanks to the special herbal soups prepared by Ye Changan and Sui Yi that some of the fatigue was eased.

Speaking of the herbal soup,

Sui Yi specially brewed medicinal herbs for Pu Qinghan, stewing them for three whole Shichen. Gong Jiu and others, freshly washed, saw a whole pot of thick herbal soup on the table and were about to say they needed another wash. Luckily, Sui Yi said it wasn’t for them to drink...

When Ye Changan and Yhan Qingwu set their herbs next to it.

Gong Jiu and Flower Demon sat down decisively.

Ye Chunan, being a grown man, would never shirk from drinking even the bitterest medicine...

At least it was a kind gesture from Sui Yi and Ye Changan, so he took a sip, his expression indifferent.

While Pu Qinghan looked at the thick bowl in front of her... and then at the other three’s plain, watery herbal soups...

She said nothing, and under the straightforward gazes of Gong Jiu and the others, drank it all.

With furrowed brows, she wiped her mouth after drinking.
