Sheng Fu

Chapter 1027 Absurdity and Formality

Bai Xiaowei paused for a moment, then stood up and personally poured Yuwen Jun a cup of tea, saying, "Then it is naturally excellent."

Xie Yiming looked down at his teacup and felt that the Jiangshanhong tea tasted somewhat melancholy.

"What happened?" Yuwen Jun asked curiously.

Bai Xiaowei calmly said, "A member of the Purple Gold Alliance has entered the Northern King's Mansion. His Highness the Southern King may not be a match for him."

Yuwen Jun suddenly smiled and said, "Then the Prince of the South is really no match for him."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yiming wanted to say something, but didn't know where to begin.

Their conversation was like two not-so-sharp daggers, relentlessly slashing at Xie Yiming's heart.

"Why are the members of the Purple Gold Alliance going to the Northern King's Mansion?" Yuwen Jun asked curiously.

Yuwen Jun felt that although the Northern King had begun to recruit talented people and showed some promise, it could not withstand scrutiny and was not going to stand up to scrutiny.

It's not worth it for a member of the Purple Gold Alliance to personally infiltrate the Northern King's Mansion and stir up trouble.

Xie Yiming truthfully replied, "I am still investigating the specific details."

"Moreover, I also think that at least 30% of the talented people who have entered the Northern King's Mansion now have ulterior motives. As for what kind of surprise they have prepared for Fu Cheng, it is still hard to say."

"After all, Fu Cheng is also a politician, and what politicians are most vulnerable to is being smeared."

"Once genuine and irrefutable accusations are leveled against a politician, even if Fu Cheng had a thousand mouths, he wouldn't be able to clear his name."

"If you look at the numbers carefully, although Fu Cheng is not yet a force to be reckoned with, his head still carries some weight."

Yuwen Jun gently swirled the teacup.

Yuwen Jun naturally believed Xie Yiming's explanation.

Yuwen Jun asked with a smile, "After you have mastered the Yin-Yang Bible, can you perceive all things in heaven and earth at will? And within a certain range, can you even be comparable to a human-shaped star platform?"

"A powerful, unfamiliar expert has set out; how could he escape your discerning eyes?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Yiming's lips twitched slightly, and he chuckled dryly, "I didn't expect you to know so much about my cultivation techniques."

"Qin Yun gave me a piece of information that is not yet confirmed. It says that there are some people in the Northern Prince's Mansion who have ulterior motives, but it is not yet clear who they are."

"Coincidentally, Fucheng is going to hold a banquet tonight to celebrate the return of the sea."

"The intention was to win over talented individuals from all sides who had come to Fucheng."

Upon hearing about the banquet for returning to the sea, Yuwen Jun inexplicably thought of the banquet he had experienced at Bailu Academy.

The dragon should return to the sea, but in the north, there is indeed a boundless North Sea.

Yuwen Jun smiled meaningfully and said, "Perhaps there are some things I've been unaware of. I actually forgot that you've entered the Boundless Realm. You're no longer the good-looking but useless Prince Nan."

"Please forgive me, please forgive me."

Yuwen Jun's words were sarcastic and ironic, which happened to coincide with Xie Yiming's cultivation of the "Yin-Yang Bible."

Seeing the hidden meaning in Yuwen Jun's words, Xie Yiming said bluntly, "What are your instructions? It seems that you still need to take control of the overall direction."

Yuwen Jun chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "I have a general understanding of the Wuji experts, but I don't know the essence of their many subtleties."

"After the Sima family and the Sun family made their attempts to enter the gates, you two have both entered the Limitless Realm."

"I can roughly guess the level of your killing power."

"But I don't know what level your understanding of the Great Dao is at." "I am very familiar with you, but I have never known the limits of your true essence or what your extraordinary abilities are."

Every Wuji expert possesses extraordinary abilities.

Xie Yiming's cultivation of the Yin-Yang Bible naturally allows him to easily merge with all paths and completely conceal his own aura.

This is a detail that Yuwen Jun overlooked.

Unfortunately, Yuwen Jun had only dealt with veteran Wuji experts in the past, so his understanding of Xie Yiming and Bai Xiaowei's cultivation levels was not very deep.

“I didn’t give any instructions, I was just curious. But if it were a life-or-death battle, you probably wouldn’t be a match for the Prime Minister,” Yuwen Jun said with a confident expression.

Xie Yiming glanced at Bai Xiaowei, but Bai Xiaowei did not respond.

The atmosphere at the tea table was slightly awkward.

They all entered the Wuji realm together, so who would be willing to bow down and admit defeat?
"We probably won't fight just to determine who's stronger," Bai Xiaowei said casually.

Yuwen Jun chuckled twice and said to Xie Yiming, "You discovered a strange Wuji expert, tracked him down, and found that he entered the Northern King's Mansion, so you were able to confirm that the person was a member of the Purple Gold Alliance?"

"You deduced it from common sense."

Xie Yiming covered his face and pretended to be ashamed, saying, "I never thought I would fall so low as to have my abilities questioned by a junior. I am truly ashamed."

Yuwen Jun smiled gracefully and said, "I have captured a member of the Purple Gold Alliance at the Limitless Realm. The opponent is very strong and is currently being interrogated in secret."

“That person’s strength is probably greater than yours, which is why I doubt your abilities.”

"Now it seems that the Yin-Yang Bible is indeed mysterious and unpredictable."

Xie Yiming's face fell, but he still said defiantly, "It should have been Her Majesty the Queen who captured you; you just happened to be posing as a leader."

Yuwen Jun naturally understood the implication in Xie Yiming's words and said with a faint smile, "If you and I were to fight at the same level, I could beat you so badly that you wouldn't be able to lift your head with just one finger."

Bai Xiaowei couldn't stand it any longer and tapped the corner of the table, saying, "Instead of arguing here, let's think about how to take that Purple Gold Alliance member away from the Northern King's Mansion without anyone noticing."

Yuwen Jun frowned slightly and said, "It is somewhat difficult."

"Someone needs to enter the Northern Prince's Mansion and become the most dazzling guest."

To become the most dazzling guest, one must naturally have a remarkable reputation in the cultivation world or in officialdom.

After a while, Yuwen Jun remembered someone.

“What about Duanmu Zhi? He’s still in Hao’an City,” Yuwen Jun suggested.

Bai Xiaowei's eyes lit up, and he grinned, saying, "That's right, Duanmu Zhi is highly respected. He made great contributions in pacifying and managing the refugees."

"It just so happens that most of the people in the Northern Prince's Mansion are of peasant origin."

"Duanmu Zhi is an official of the imperial family and was once the Vice Prime Minister. If he goes to the Northern Prince's residence, he will naturally be the most dazzling guest."

Yuwen Jun made the decision: "Then let's do it this way."

“I will go and bring him here immediately.”

"I will have Duanmu Zhi prepare a memorial, which will be submitted to the Prime Minister for his review and approval. This will be a formality, at least showing that Duanmu Zhi came to Bazhou to meet the Prime Minister on official business."

Bai Xiaowei kindly reminded me, "The report doesn't need to be too complicated. You can just ask me, 'Have you eaten yet?' and I will then write 'Yes' in the reply."

"They can use the Prime Minister's seal to affix their seals and the Prime Minister's pen to review their work."

"In short, this is a very formal memorial."
