“Fourth Prince, with my injuries, I won't be able to recover for at least half a year. I fear I cannot take on this responsibility…”
Liang Dian said, feeling deeply ashamed and trying to decline.
He wanted to conceal his true intentions, using a strategy of feigned retreat to completely alleviate Fourth Prince's distrust in him, so he could steadily climb to that position.
This step could not afford any mistakes.
After all, there was no other teammate to play along with him; he would have to fight alone from now on.
Fourth Prince looked at Liang Dian, his expression thoughtful.
First of all, Lin Qiubai had stirred up such a huge wave; he was indeed a Peerless Genius worth the risk for a Nirvana Realm Expert who wanted to take action against him. There was nothing wrong with that.
Secondly, for a hundred years, Liang Dian and Hong Feng's relationship had been limited to official matters. This was evident to all.
Hong Feng was known for being smooth and adaptable.
Liang Dian was straightforward and had offended many powerful figures by adhering strictly to the law.
The fact that he was willing to expend Vital Energy to save Lin Qiubai showed his character was beyond reproach.
With this in mind, Fourth Prince's trust in Liang Dian increased a few notches, and he spoke again.
“If I say Liang Shi is capable, then Liang Shi is absolutely capable. If you continue to decline, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
Fourth Prince's tone was firm; the lines on his face were thick and hard, and his features appeared very stubborn. Those familiar with him knew that once Fourth Prince made a decision, it was not easily changed.
Actually, Liang Dian could have been summoned to the Palace to serve by the side of the Divine Sovereign twenty years ago.
However, the Fourth Prince suspected him and did not use him. This suspicion lasted for twenty years, and only today did he finally speak up.
"Thank you for your immense grace, and thank you, Fourth Prince, for your guidance!"
Liang Dian was overjoyed, his voice trembling slightly.
Although it was all an act, no one suspected his identity as an Evil Cultivator. No one would think to guess that.
Could two Nirvana Realm Evil Cultivators really infiltrate the upper echelons of the imperial capital?
Who would believe it?
Who would dare to believe it?
This is a blind spot in thinking; Hong Feng and Liang Dian were exploiting this blind spot to create their scheme. Their performance was simply perfect.
The only flaw was that they failed to eliminate Lin Qiubai in the process...
Liang Dian glanced in the direction where Lin Qiubai had left. A thick killing intent was concealed within a single compliment:
"That Lin young friend will be a great figure in the future."
...
Lin Qiubai was still unaware that he had caught the attention of another high-ranking official in the imperial capital.
At this moment, having narrowly escaped disaster, he was adjusting his state of mind, burying the despair he had just felt along with the violence within him deep in his heart.
This is Grudge. In the future, he will repay it a hundredfold!
“The Master's Life,” don’t always hang on to your belt; there are always people keeping an eye on you. Sigh, there’s no peace at all...
The spirit sighed and shook its head helplessly.
This may be the case of the tall tree attracting the wind; the wind must strike it down, right?
If Gale cannot destroy it, then it will bring down a Hurricane. Those who truly hate Lin Qiubai would not send some Minions to deliver experience to him. Every move they make is filled with murderous intent. Even if Lin Qiubai’s strength skyrockets, they can ensure his demise.
However, Lin Qiubai’s Fortune Value has reached 16,000, and Fate in the Dark will shift. Unbeknownst to him, he will be protected... this is the benefit of abundant Fortune.
Lin Qiubai grinned; everyone faces setbacks, and getting stronger to reclaim what was lost is all that matters.
As long as he doesn’t die, he can endure any humiliation. One day, he will return every grievance with interest.
Lin Qiubai dragged his exhausted body back to Bailu Mountain Restaurant, collapsed, and fell into a deep sleep.
Outside the window, Yihua Sacred Palace Third Palace Master silently observed Lin Qiubai.
Seeing Lin Qiubai covered in blood, he also sighed.
...
The next day, Lin Qiubai did not step out of the Tavern for the entire day, focusing on Healing.
After Lin Qiubai’s ordeal, the defenses of the imperial capital became significantly stricter.
In the following days, there was little of note. It was merely the Young Martial Artists challenging each other everywhere.
But the entrance to the Bailu Mountain Restaurant was deserted, with few daring to challenge it.
After all, no one could defeat Lin Qiubai.
Even those Battle Maniacs were reluctant to seek a fight with Lin Qiubai.
They would only be defeated in one move, gaining no combat experience at all; why humiliate themselves?
Thus, the open space below the Bailu Mountain Restaurant gathered only a small number of martial artists, making it quite peaceful.
In contrast, other Taverns were bustling with fierce battles.
There were even Divine Sovereigns and Queens present to observe. The king was handsome and imposing, while the Queen was breathtakingly beautiful, overshadowing Bie Xue Xian Ji, which stirred quite a commotion.
However, both Lin Qiubai and Yuan Chonghuan remained indoors and paid no attention to this matter. Therefore, they were completely unaware.
...
Time passed swiftly, and the moment for comprehending the Autumn Water Maiden Stele arrived as scheduled.
On this day, Li Qu prepared a luxurious Golden Palanquin early in the morning, taking Lin Qiubai and Yuan Chonghuan on a swift journey to the Autumn Water Garden.
"Both gentlemen should have some understanding of the details regarding the Autumn Water Maiden Stele, right?"
Li Qu sat at the front of the Golden Palanquin and turned to ask for directions.
Lin Qiubai and Yuan Chonghuan both shook their heads. Lin Qiubai was busy with Healing, while Yuan Chonghuan was tirelessly cultivating, essentially oblivious to matters outside.
"In that case, let me give you a brief introduction."
The Autumn Water Maiden Stele is a sacred place where the Young Prodigy can comprehend the Realm.
On the stele, there is a painting titled Autumn Water Beauty. It is said that the artist has surpassed the Cycle Realm in strength!
Even his casual doodles contain rich insights into the Realm, allowing martial artists to sit before the stele and comprehend the Realm with divine assistance.
"Oh!"
Lin Qiubai and Yuan Chonghuan both showed expressions of great interest.
Both of them had experienced the immense benefits of the Realm.
When Lin Qiubai stepped into the first stage, his understanding of the Quasi-Divine Level Martial Technique, Blood Battle in Hell, deepened significantly.
His Blood Spear surged from three hundred to six hundred in an instant. Moreover, stepping into the first stage of Spear Intent allowed him to condense each Blood Spear with greater fluidity.
If he could reach the second stage of Spear Intent this time, his combat power would soar by another twenty to thirty percent.
Seeing the two in a state of fascination and yearning, Li Qu chuckled, revealing a knowing expression. He then handed over two Jade Tablets.
"This is a token from our Bailu Mountain Restaurant for you two young masters. After you enter the Autumn Water Garden and comprehend the stele, please try to position yourselves as far forward as possible.
The closer you are, the better your comprehension will be.
On the other hand, if you two young masters are positioned closer to the front, the ranking on your Jade Tablets will be higher.
This ranking determines how many spots our Bailu Mountain Restaurant will have next year... so we hope you both can give it your all."
Upon hearing Li Qu's explanation, Lin Qiubai and Yuan Chonghuan suddenly understood.
No wonder there are so many Taverns offering free slots; it turns out they are trying to attract Young Prodigies to let Heavenly Pride compete for the stone tablet rankings, preparing for next year's comprehension of the Autumn Water Maiden Stele.
These Chambers of Commerce have quite a clever scheme.
Lin Qiubai nodded, his expression serious.
"With me here, how could anyone take the top spot?"
Upon hearing this, Li Qu burst into laughter. Their Bailu Mountain Restaurant had truly struck gold this time.
Soon, the Golden Chariot came to a stop in front of the open area at the entrance of the Autumn Water Garden.
Lin Qiubai slowly stepped out of the Golden Palanquin, and hundreds of complex gazes filled with awe instantly fell upon his face.
The crowd began to stir restlessly.
The name Lin Qiubai had quietly become an insurmountable peak in their cultivation journey over these days.
At this moment, seeing him brought an inexplicable wave of immense pressure that made their legs feel weak.
