Chapter 223: Chapter 81 Han Qianchou Must Be Sick!
Zhang Xuan, unaware that suspicion had already arisen, saw that his goal of intimidation had been achieved. His eyes dimmed, and his expression became somewhat tearful, “Senior brother, you've arrived just in time. You must seek justice for Brother Mo Qing, avenge him!”
Min Jiangtao frowned, “What exactly happened to Mo Qing? How did I hear that he was harmed by His Majesty Han Qianchou of the Han Yuan Dynasty?”
Before, he had suspected that maybe it was Ling Buyang who was behind the mischief, but now, seeing Elder Ouyang backing him up and Yue Longxiao also standing on his side, he became less convinced by the thought, even finding it absurd.
With such powerful backers, it didn't matter if it was brother Mo Qing or even if his own teacher had been killed, no one would dare utter a word of nonsense.
In this world, strength is ultimately the most respected.
Just now, had this man before him casually spoken the word, that would've been the end of it—he could be certain that Ouyang Hai would have crushed him on the spot without an ounce of hesitation.
Which is to say, in fact, the man had saved his life. Why would he then recklessly kill Mo Qing?
“Yes, it was this guy…”
Zhang Xuan repeated the reason he had previously given to Yue Longxiao: Han Qianchou had invited them to a banquet, Mo Qing took a fancy to King Ping Yuan's wife, a conflict arose, and then he was killed.
“Indeed, I witnessed it with my own eyes, absolutely true…” Yue Longxiao added sincerely.
From the time Mo Qing left till the man before him appeared, he had been staying inside this courtyard the whole time, saw the entire process, and had the greatest right to speak.
“Just because of a woman, Han Qianchou struck against brother Mo Qing? Who gave him the courage?”
His eyes narrowed, Min Jiangtao found it somewhat unbelievable.
Since when had the Mo Blade Sect lost so much deterrent power? How dare a mere dynasty act so recklessly?
Even if his junior brother had committed a capital offense, shouldn't they have first reported to the teacher before making a decision?
“Take me to see that Han Qianchou, I want to ask him directly. Even if brother Mo Qing had faults, it's not his place to execute him at will!”
After pondering for a moment, Min Jiangtao gestured grandly.
Although he no longer doubted what the two men had said, he still wanted to clarify the specific reasons.
Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to report back to his teacher.
“Yes!”
Zhang Xuan nodded, then looked to Yue Longxiao at his side, “Could I trouble Master Yue to accompany us as well, to serve as a witness? If Emperor Qianchou admits to having killed brother Mo Qing, the news can also be swiftly relayed back to Zhou Yi Dynasty.”
“It's my duty!”
Yue Longxiao nodded repeatedly.
Although Elder Ouyang had left, as long as those three geniuses were around, his status wouldn't falter, so he would naturally not pass up the opportunity to curry favor.
“Let's go!”
Seeing his agreement, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and led the two men out of the mansion.
Knowing that the Emperor was in a teahouse not far from here, Zhang Xuan didn't continue forward upon exiting the gate but instead headed towards the guards hidden around.
Before he could get close, a large group of people surrounded the area.
“Vice Hall Master Ling, please return to the mansion…”
The leading officer, a young man in blue armor, looked to be in his thirties.
“Am I under house arrest? Very well, very well…”
Zhang Xuan's face showed a color of grief and anger, “My Mo Blade Sect has really fallen, to be humiliated so openly!”
After speaking, he quietly looked toward Min Jiangtao and indeed saw his face turn the color of iron.
If before he doubted, thinking that Han Qianchou wouldn't dare to kill Mo Qing, now he no longer felt that way.
“We are merely following orders, we hope Vice Hall Master Ling can understand…” The young man gestured.
Zhang Xuan snorted, “I don't have to move forward. Go and report to Han Qianchou immediately. Tell him that my brother, Min Jiangtao, wants to see him and let him come here immediately to pay respects!”
“This…” the young man hesitated.
Zhang Xuan furrowed his brows, “Brother Min is not only a master of Mo Blade Sect but also an elder of Zouyi Heavenly Fate Palace. You just need to report this truthfully, and I believe Han Qianchou will make a wise decision!”
“Yes!”
Though conflicted, the guard turned and left. Before long, he came rushing back, “His Majesty is in the teahouse ahead, asking to receive you there!”
“He wants us to go there? And pay respects?”
Red-faced and trembling with anger, Zhang Xuan's body shook.
Not just him, even Yue Longxiao was completely flabbergasted.
Is this Han Qianchou mad?
I've met him before and he was always low-key. How come he's so arrogant today?
He took a few deep breaths, and Zhang Xuan seemed to suppress his anger as he looked at Min Jiangtao in front of him, “Senior Brother, it's because I don't have much authority in Han Yuan City that I have implicated you…”
“It's alright, I'd like to see for myself what kind of backing this Han Qianchou really has!”
Min Jiangtao waved his hand dismissively and looked at the young man, “Lead the way!”
“Yes!” The young man started walking ahead, and soon, they arrived at the teahouse where they had met with Zhang Xuan, and everyone filed in.
The interior of the teahouse had been slightly rearranged, with Han Qianchou seated at the main seat, head down, continuing to pour tea as if he hadn't heard the others arrive.
As if he hadn't heard a thing.
Zhang Xuan's fists clenched tightly, “Han Qianchou, my Senior Brother is here, hasten your greetings…”
“How dare you! His Majesty is steeping tea; you dare to interrupt and wish for death?”
At that moment, a powerful guard dressed in golden armor let out a booming shout.
“Enough!”
Han Qianchou waved his hand, placing down the teapot and casually looking over at the group, his gaze falling on Min Jiangtao, “You are Min Jiangtao? Take a seat wherever. I'm making tea, and once it's ready, I'll clear up your doubts.”
After speaking, his eyes swept over Yue Longxiao, giving him a “rest assured” expression.
Yue Longxiao was utterly confused.
Keep being arrogant, but why are you looking at me?
“Very good, very good indeed!”
Min Jiangtao had not expected that even with his own presence, the other party would still retain such an attitude, angering him to the point of nearly exploding.
He had previously thought that perhaps Mo Qing had done something wrong for the other party to have killed him, but now it seemed this person was intentionally looking for an excuse to strike!
If he behaves like this in his own presence, how arrogant must he have been toward his younger fellow brother?
All these years… Younger Brother Ling has suffered!
Squinting his eyes, he scrutinized the other man carefully.
This Qingtian Emperor, his cultivation was very well concealed, but Min Jiangtao still made it out—Star River primary stage!
Such strength might be enough to dominate and suppress a territory in Han Yuan City, but it was still far too lacking in front of himself. He really wondered what gave him such arrogance.
He looked around.
Soldiers filled the floors above and below, but they were basically around the Jade Bone Realm, and the strongest ones were merely at the Half-Spiritual Perception realm. Against someone like him, they had no chance of resistance.
Despite searching for a while, Min Jiangtao could not discern where the other's confidence came from, but still, he suppressed his anger with a cold snort.
“Fine, I'll just sit here and wait for you…”
As he said this and looked around, his expression once again turned displeased.
Besides the stool the emperor was sitting on, there were no other chairs or tables around.
Han Qianchou also seemed to realize the situation and frowned, “Don't just stand there; bring over a few stools.”
“Yes!” The guard who had reprimanded earlier hurriedly turned around and a moment later brought three small stools over.
These three stools were clearly much lower than Han Qianchou's, and once everyone sat down, the disparity in status would be unmistakable.
“You expect me to sit on this kind of stool?”
Min Jiangtao was truly angry now.
Even his teacher, even the Hall Master of the Zhou Yi Heavenly Fate Palace, had never shown him such disdain!
Not only was he furious, but Yue Longxiao, who had come with him, also wore a displeased face, unable to restrain himself any longer, and couldn't help but kindly remind, “Your Majesty Han Qianchou, this Elder Min is the second disciple of the Mo Blade Sect Head…”
“I know! Rest assured, Master Yue, I understand what you mean.”
Smiling at Yue Longxiao, Han Qianchou winked at him.
So you just want me to be arrogant, right? Is this arrogant enough for you now?
“I'm assured? Understand? Understand what?”
Yue Longxiao was completely baffled.
I'm telling you to be careful, who asked you to show off like this?
Does this guy have a screw loose?
Wrong, he's definitely nuts!
