My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 638 - 388 Confession_3

Phoenix hesitated for a moment and then asked, "When the time comes, they will definitely force me to do things that are detrimental to the Li Mansion and Daxia. If I refuse, they will reveal my identity, and at that time, the Li Mansion will also be implicated..."

Li Nuo wasn’t really afraid that the Li Mansion would be implicated.

What sort of implication was this? Even in the event of killing a Great Scholar, the Li Mansion wouldn’t be implicated. Could a mere Qi Country spy implicate the Li Mansion?

If they dared to claim it, no one would dare believe it.

After comforting Phoenix, she was still somewhat worried and murmured, "If Jiaren and Anning find out, find out that I am..."

Li Nuo didn’t plan on telling Jiaren and the others about this.

Phoenix was the most important adhesive in the family. If Jiaren and the others grew estranged from her, the inner residence would certainly descend into chaos.

In fact, quite a few people knew about Phoenix’s identity, including those spies married off through the Jade Sound Pavilion and the higher-ups of Qi’s Green Bird Society.

The spies in Chang’an were easier to deal with. Except for Phoenix and the nightingale who cultivated special Martial Path Techniques, all the female spies, for the sake of hiding, had no cultivation at all.

With just two short lines, Li Nuo could make them forget Phoenix’s identity, even forget their own identities as spies.

As for the higher-ups of the Green Bird Society, Li Nuo couldn’t deal with them for the time being.

Not wanting to further trouble Phoenix, he thought for a moment and said, "Why not come with me to Zhao Country..."

Phoenix shook her head and said, "I can’t leave. Zhi’er was taken back to Qi Country by them. If I leave, they’ll definitely harm Zhi’er. She’s my only relative. As long as I’m in Chang’an, she’ll be fine..."

Li Nuo held her hand and said, "Don’t worry, I will definitely bring her back safely..."

...

Not long after, Li Nuo walked out of Ningxin Garden.

No wonder the School of Calligraphy had no effect on Phoenix; it turned out she could fight just like Jiaren.

His father’s two public opinion reversals were also her handiwork behind the scenes.

Phoenix was the head of Qi’s Green Bird Society in Daxia, and Li Nuo didn’t know if that was a good or a bad thing.

Not counting the Li Family’s businesses, the wealth she directly controlled had already exceeded ten million taels.

The family’s shops were all flourishing.

The clothing and lingerie shops kept opening branches, providing countless jobs for the women of Chang’an. The Li family’s shops offered generous treatment, already changed from a five-day work week to four days on with three days off. Li Nuo’s cultivation in Confucian studies could quickly improve, thanks in no small part to Phoenix’s contributions.

Li Nuo held a booklet in his hand, which contained a roster of the members of Daxia’s Green Bird Society.

He was going to the Ministry of Justice to hand this roster over to his father.

This was a necessary step in the process, and Li Nuo was grateful that Phoenix confessed voluntarily rather than waiting to be discovered.

Even though the outcomes were the same, the significance was different.

Although she was a Qi Country spy, she hadn’t engaged in destructive activities, and being able to voluntarily confess, even according to Daxia Law, meant she could be exempted from punishment and allowed to continue her infiltration.

In fact, Li Nuo had the credit of turning foreign spies.

However, this was also considered a major case, and it couldn’t go exactly as he wished. According to the law, he had to report to the relevant departments.

The department responsible for counter-espionage in Daxia was the Spiegel Bureau.

So, as long as he informed his father about this, the procedure would be complete, and it wouldn’t affect his cultivation at all.

Ministry of Justice.

When Li Nuo entered the government office, King Chun was playing chess with his father.

If one wanted to find King Chun, the odds of finding him at the Ministry of Justice were much greater than at King Chun Mansion.

When he told them the whole story, his father’s expression didn’t change, but King Chun looked surprised and exclaimed, "Such a thing happened..."

Then he looked at Li Nuo and smiled, "You really have talent; even such an important Qi Country spy was taken down by you. At that time, we can even turn it to our advantage..."

Li Nuo nodded and said, "That’s what I was thinking too."

When leaving the Ministry of Justice, Li Nuo noticed that his father had gained a few strands of white hair at his temples.

He remembered that just two years ago, his father’s hair was entirely black.

Even though his Yin Yang Technique had formally begun, even if he couldn’t reach the Sixth Realm, he would still sacrifice thirty years of his lifespan to ensure his father lived a few more decades of peaceful days.

A traitorous minister everyone cursed, yet possessed with Vast Qi that most officials did not have.

Li Nuo couldn’t imagine how he had managed through the years.

Ministry of Justice, inside the government office.

After finishing a game of chess, Li Xuanjing opened a drawer under the desk and placed the booklet inside.

Underneath this "Daxia Green Bird Society Roster," there were several other booklets, and right next to it, there was even one labeled with the large characters "Daxia Green Bird Society List"...
