“Miss Zhao, are all the matters related to Prince Han that are recorded in this scroll true or false?”

“Of course, they are true!” Fang Ranran bowed: “My family ancestor has all the evidences, and has been holding back only due to concerns about the imperial court’s influence.”

Her voice paused: “Our witness is by the side of Imperial Concubine Hui.”

Lin Rui first raised his eyebrows, then said with a bitter smile, “This matter is difficult to handle, if the Emperor learns of it, it’d surely not look good for him.”

Normal people dislike such scandals being exposed; most would rather keep the matter hidden than let others know they’ve been cuckolded, especially the Emperor of Great Song, right?

There are many ways to handle infidelity, there’s no need to make it known to the world.

Not to mention that the person who cuckolded the Emperor is none other than the sixth prince, his own son.

If this gets out, what will become of the Emperor’s and the royal family’s dignity?

Thus, rashly disclosing this affair, although it could put Prince Han in a dire situation, could also lead to the Emperor’s resentment.

“Indeed!” Fang Ranran’s expression was somber: “My family ancestor is considering the Emperor’s dignity, which is why he has suppressed this matter; he has been very troubled by it and has said how to proceed should be entirely up to you, Sir.

...

No matter what, he will fully cooperate.”

Lin Rui smiled faintly, thinking that Fang Ranran’s grandfather indeed was an impressive person.

This man had not only woven a vast intelligence network within Tianji Star over the past few centuries, gaining many secrets, but his actions were also resolute and ruthless.

Inside this scroll, it recorded as many as seventeen trading firms, forty-six landlords and local tyrants, one hundred twenty-two storerooms, and 5214 people suspected of being foreign body practitioners—most of whom were associated with the Jin family.

These were either under the Jin family’s control or their allies; although the Jin family’s business focus wasn’t in Luo Jing, they had many allies there.

This was clearly intended to doom the Jin family!

Interestingly, the scroll specifically mentioned that these people were involved in illegal business.

In Great Song, as well as in the Ninth Base City, it’s illegal; for instance, a business called ‘Fu Hai Trading Firm’ dealt in ‘Heavenly Tobacco’ with three local tyrants, an ingredient for a drug expressly forbidden by the Earth Federation.

They even transplanted opium poppy, coca, and cannabis to Tianji Star and used elemental catalysts to mutate these plants to have stronger hallucinogenic effects.

Lin Rui thought that when mingling in Tianji Star, one really must be wary of one’s own kind.

The Lu Family and the Jin Family, once in conflict, did not hesitate to severely trap each other, not caring whether the other party was a fellow villager or of the same kind.

The Jin family was not innocent either; the money their trading company made was all extracted from ordinary people.

“I understand now!” Lin Rui stood up, his words containing an apology: “I need to enter the palace immediately, Miss Fang, could you please keep Miss Yingxu company for me?”

Upon hearing this, Fang Ranran’s eyebrows rose, thinking that Sir Lin referring to her by her first name might be a sign of closeness?

She then smiled gently towards Zhou Yunxi, as Lin Hao’s request for her to accompany Zhou aligned perfectly with Fang Ranran’s wishes.

As far as Fang Ranran knew, Lin Hao doted extremely on this sworn sister; as long as she could win over this woman, she wouldn’t be afraid of not having a say in front of Lin Hao in the future.

Lin Xi felt helpless as she discerned Fang Ranran’s thoughts; the problem was that she didn’t need to win her over.

She had always been grateful to Miss Fang, who provided shelter and resources during their toughest times.

An hour later, in a small courtyard next to the Third Divine Envoy’s residence.

Luo Wangshu tried hard to maintain a graceful posture, but eventually couldn’t help but burst into laughter, her hands slapping the ground causing ‘thump thump’ sounds while she gleefully laughed: “Are you serious?

Prince Han and the Emperor’s Imperial Concubine Hui have been in an affair, possibly for as long as six months?

According to the outsider Heavenly Demons, this would be what’s called ‘wearing a green hat,’ right?

But how did Prince Han deceive his father?

That seems unlikely, doesn’t it?

His Majesty the Emperor is a ‘Limitless Venerable’; his telekinesis covers the whole palace, how could he not sense it?”

She and the Second Divine Envoy are ‘Limitless Venerables’, but the Emperor and the First Divine Envoy are ‘Limitless Sovereigns’!

Luo Wangshu knew that these two could advance further if they wished, only they dared not cross the threshold of ‘Longevity’.

With the Emperor’s strength, how could he be deceived by Prince Han and Imperial Concubine Hui?

“It seems Zhao Yang had arranged someone to be with Prince Han,” Lin Rui said with a wry smile: “Apparently not in the palace, as Imperial Concubine Hui returns home every half month.”

Tianji Star too had its protocols, though not quite the same as ancient China.

Here, the protocols were much looser.

In ancient China, how could concubines leave the palace to visit their home?

Yet, in Great Song, it was permitted.

This was because both the Empress and the concubines came from powerful, prestigious families, their union fundamentally an alliance, so the Emperor respected all his concubines and the empress greatly.

“Oh?” Luo Wangshu pondered for a moment, then chuckled lightly: “This is indeed interesting, Xiao Haohao, what do you think of this Zhao Yang?”

Lin Rui felt his skin twitch slightly when Luo Wangshu called him ‘Xiao Haohao’.

However, it matters not.

The master wishes to address him in this way, wishes to be close to him, and that is a good thing.

“There must be a problem,” said Lin Rui, his expression solemn, “But since no issues have been discovered yet, and the Divine Envoy does not permit me to investigate, I will not delve deeper for the time being.”

Luo Wangshu gave a slight nod, “What about the supervisors of ninth and tenth?

Didn’t you order them to investigate Prince Han’s illegal affairs?

Did they find out anything?”

“They are dragging their feet,” Lin Rui said with a slight chuckle, “Previously, dozens of Imperial Censors had impeached Prince Han.

Didn’t the Emperor keep the censors’ memorials without issuing them?

You Divine Envoys have not urged action either, which seems to have given them hope.”

The Emperor of Great Song still wielded significant authority.

Although the Divine Envoy controlled the highest decision-making power in the government, the Emperor decided the procedural order of discussions: what to discuss, whether or not to discuss, and when to discuss, were all determined by the Emperor himself.

Lin Rui’s voice flowed calmly, “These two are either too deeply ensnared by Prince Han to leave him, or they simply do not regard me seriously.

In any case, they do not treat the opportunity I gave them seriously.

They are trying their best to procrastinate and seem to still be secretly wiping Prince Han’s backside, managing some cases from the start to the end.

They even thought of tampering with ancient archives.”

A fierce glint appeared in Luo Wangshu’s eyes, “Can they be dealt with?”

“Easily,” Lin Rui nodded, “I had originally prepared a few measures against them, but now it seems superfluous.

The actual problem is, after we dispose of them, whether our people can take their places.”

Luo Wangshu could not help but feel secretly relieved; this closed-door disciple really brought her peace of mind.

Her power in the Divine Envoys had always been weak.

Even now, the four supervisors she had were only maintaining their positions due to the legacy left by the previous chief Divine Envoy, and their power was dwindling more and more.

“Leave Prince Han and his consort Hui’s matter to me, do not interfere.

The Emperor is generous outwardly but nursing grievances internally, and it is better for him to find it out himself.

You just need to follow my orders, and when the time comes, you can strike at these two,” she directed.

Luo Wangshu then waved a sleeve, “Come on, begin today’s training, let me see how well you’ve mastered the secret saber technique I taught you.”

She had taught Lin Rui a martial secret saber move three days ago, keen to gauge Lin Rui’s natural talent.

Lin Rui immediately complied; he held the Dharma Seal in his left hand and the saber in his right.

Suddenly, the light and the temporal void around him began to distort.

Lin Rui’s figure rapidly flickered and shifted within the space.

Whenever he swung his saber, it was incredibly swift.

This was the sixth-realm imperial-level strike ‘Chrono Slash’ that Luo Wangshu had taught him.

Luo Wangshu felt that although Lin Hao possessed the powerful innate talents ‘Divine Sun Celestial Chronos’ and ‘Supreme Sun Instant’, he used them quite crudely, not fully harnessing these immensely powerful abilities.

Especially wasteful was his use of True Qi; with Lin Hao’s approach, he could only utilize it once or twice during a fight.

Luckily, Luo Wangshu had once killed a seventh-realm imperial master and obtained a supremely imperial True Intent related to the temporal light, which she passed on to Lin Rui.

The power of ‘Chrono Slash’ needs no mention, the key was its efficiency in utilizing the temporal void, which surpassed the past tenfold.

With the same amount of True Qi, Lin Rui used to only cause a significant distortion in the surrounding space-time once, but now he could achieve it more than ten times.

This was a pure saber technique strike.

Lin Rui’s one-handed seal was to activate a token-shaped sixth-realm imperial Magic Artifact gifted to him at the apprentice ceremony by Luo Wangshu, called ‘Instant Light Command’.

This artifact’s ability, as its name suggested, could manipulate light and temporal order to a certain extent, greatly enhancing the power of related techniques.

Lin Rui had once relied on the divine power of this artifact in a battle against Yue Tianqing.

Luo Wangshu was testing with intent, wanting to see just how capable this disciple’s talents were.

But after watching him today, she was a bit helpless, thinking to herself that her disciple’s talent was simply inhuman.

Luo Wangshu saw that Lin Hao was still quite awkward in executing this secret technique, which was due to his initial practice, not being very proficient yet.

However, Lin Hao’s control over True Qi, martial profound intentions, light, and temporal power was all very apt, and his conception was remarkably high.

This indicated that Lin Hao had fully understood the core essence of this secret technique.

He even managed to improve it, grafting it onto his fundamental martial arts ‘Purple Sun Posture’ and ‘Purple Sun Tribulation Saber,’ and used these martial arts as a base to increase its power.

“That’s enough!” Luo Wangshu silently sighed, then motioned forward once, asking Lin Rui to sit in front of her, “Your insight truly leaves me speechless.

Fortunately, it was me; had it been someone else, they probably couldn’t bear the shame of being your master.”

She then unexpectedly placed one hand on Lin Rui’s heart, starting to enhance his physique, vital energy, True Yuan, and martial profound intentions!

It was substantially similar to what Meng Weiyun had done for Lin Rui before, but how mighty a being was Luo Wangshu?

She had not only almost stepped into the threshold of the tenth realm, but also controlled the conceptual powers of the Limitless Venerable and Growth Venerable, so the effect of strengthening Lin Rui’s soul and body far surpassed what Meng Weiyun could do.

Luo Wangshu did not need to touch forehead to forehead with Lin Rui; slight physical contact was enough to boost his martial profound intentions and the quality of his True Qi.

But at that moment, a slight change flitted across her expression as she looked astoundingly at Lin Rui’s forehead.

“What is this?”

She suddenly swept her sleeve, using a layer of temporal void energy to shield the surroundings before slowly articulating the next words, “The Abyssal Core and the Law of Purity?”
