163: Under the thin sky, it belongs to the king
What kind of place is the Guojiu Mansion?
He is the Imperial Uncle of the current dynasty, and his sister is the Emperor's favored concubine. High-ranking officials in the court all have connections with him. Who would dare not give him some face?
Now, a greenhorn dares to bring people here to commit violence. Is he tired of living?
Xue Li said with a fierce look, "Father, Xie Weilou brought people to commit violence, killed people in our mansion, and even injured me. He must be severely punished."
"Severely punish This Young Master?"
Xie Weilou glanced at Xue Li, then looked at Lord State Uncle Xue, and said coldly, "When the Tianquan Division handles a case, anyone who dares to obstruct will be killed without exception!"
Boom!
The auras of Zhang Long and the others completely erupted. Their long blades were tightly gripped, radiating killing intent. As soon as Xie Weilou gave the order, they would immediately strike.
"You dare..."
Lord State Uncle Xue roared.
Xie Weilou waved his hand directly: "Take down Xue Li and Jiang Xuan. If anyone dares to obstruct, kill them directly! If we can't kill them, then This Young Master will invite Commander Lin. If Commander Lin can't kill them, I will invite the Pacification Envoy, Lord Siming, and even the Emperor. This Young Master wants to see if the power granted to the Tianquan Division by the Emperor is truly effective."
"Yes, sir!"
Zhang Long and the others wasted no words and walked directly towards Xue Li and Jiang Xuan.
"You..."
Lord State Uncle Xue's face was extremely grim.
At this moment, he really wanted to act, but Xie Weilou brought up the Pacification Envoy, Siming, and the Emperor. If he were to act, wouldn't he be disrespecting these esteemed individuals?
Let alone Siming and the Emperor, even a Pacification Envoy, he wouldn't dare to offend rashly.
"Father, save me..."
Xue Li was taken down by Zhang Long, while Jiang Xuan was escorted by Zhao Hu. They were completely panicked.
They had no idea that even with Lord State Uncle Xue intervening, Xie Weilou still wouldn't give face, and even intended to make arrests publicly.
When Lord State Uncle Xue saw Xue Li and Jiang Xuan being taken down, he clenched his fists and stared intently at Xie Weilou, saying, "Xie Weilou, if you take them away today, you will be an enemy of my Guojiu Mansion. You'd better think this through."
"No matter! I'll let the Pacification Envoy talk to you then. This Young Master is also very curious to see whether the Pacification Envoy at the peak of the Dao Repository is stronger, or the Imperial Uncle is stronger!"
Xie Weilou said indifferently.
"......"
Lord State Uncle Xue's expression froze. He subconsciously looked at the elegant old man beside him.
The elegant old man stroked his beard. He looked at Xie Weilou and sighed softly, "Youngster, can you give this old man some face? This old man is Lumin, a mentor from the Haoran Branch of the Saint Academy. Xue Li is already my disciple. May I ask if you can let him go today?"
Xie Weilou looked at Lumin in surprise: "Senior is a mentor from the Saint Academy? And from the Haoran Branch?"
"That's right!"
Lumin nodded gently.
Xie Weilou asked, "Does Senior know what Xue Li has done?"
Lumin pondered, "Xue Li is my disciple. With the influence of Haoran, even if his actions are somewhat misguided, he is certainly not a great villain."
Xie Weilou said indifferently, "Zhang Long, show this senior the evidence of Xue Li's crimes."
Zhang Long directly took out some evidence and handed it to Lumin: "The Tianquan Division has already obtained evidence of Xue Li's crimes. Please examine it, Senior."
Lumin took the evidence, casually crumpled it, and the evidence turned into dust. He shook his head and said, "This old man only believes what he sees. I don't believe anything else!"
Seeing this, Xie Weilou was not angered, but instead revealed a smile.
"What are you laughing at?"
Lumin stared at Xie Weilou.
Xie Weilou smiled faintly, "Senior publicly destroyed evidence and helped a criminal, which is openly disregarding the Great Xia's laws. After this, people from the Tianquan Division will go to the Saint Academy to have a word with Senior. At that time, I hope Senior will come to my Tianquan Division for a cup of tea."
"......"
The scene was utterly silent. Everyone stared at Xie Weilou in a daze. He actually wanted the Tianquan Division to arrest a mentor from the Saint Academy?
Within the entire Tianquan Division, how many people would dare to do such a thing?
Even an existence as powerful as Siming, when going to the Saint Academy, wouldn't dare to act recklessly, right?
"He's crazy! He's absolutely crazy!"
Yan Wuchen sighed in his heart.
At this moment, he seemed to understand why Xie Weilou didn't give him face. Only Xie Weilou wouldn't even give face to a Saint Academy mentor.
"Xie Weilou, how dare you!"
Lord State Uncle Xue's face darkened. This little beast was so audacious that he even dared to challenge a Saint Academy mentor. Was he tired of living?
Lumin froze for a second. He stared at Xie Weilou and asked in surprise, "Did this old man hear wrong? You still want this old man to go to the Tianquan Division for tea?"
Xie Weilou said with a smile, "Senior didn't hear wrong. Haoran is the righteousness of heaven and earth. As a mentor of the Haoran Branch, you haven't strictly disciplined yourself, openly disregarded etiquette, and allowed your disciple to commit violence. At that time, you will definitely be invited to the Tianquan Division for a cup of tea."
"Youngster, you probably misunderstood something. I am a mentor of the Saint Academy. The Tianquan Division cannot control me."
Lumin's tone also turned cold.
Are all the juniors nowadays so arrogant?
Xie Weilou said with a deep gaze, "Under the vast sky, there is no land that is not the King's; within the borders of the land, there is no one who is not the King's subject. Senior is a person of the Saint Academy, and also a person of my Great Xia. The Tianquan Division cannot control you? Can the Emperor control you? Can the Dean of the Saint Academy control you?"
"You..."
Lumin raised an eyebrow.
Xie Weilou said indifferently, "Men, take Xue Li and Jiang Xuan away! Anyone who dares to obstruct will be killed without mercy! It's still the same phrase: if we can't take them, then I will invite the Pacification Envoy, Siming, and the Emperor. I want to see who can cover the sky with one hand on the Great Xia's territory, right under the Emperor's nose!"
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu did not hesitate and directly escorted Xue Li and Jiang Xuan to Xie Weilou's side.
Lumin's brows were tightly furrowed, but he also found it difficult to act.
"......"
Lord State Uncle Xue's face was incomparably grim.
Xie Weilou then looked at Yan Wuchen and Lumin: "Third Prince, you'd better stay at your mansion. This Young Master will definitely investigate you then. Oh, and Senior Lu, don't run around these days. This Young Master will have fragrant tea prepared at the Tianquan Division. You can see if you can have a cup!"
"......"
Yan Wuchen and Lumin's faces were somewhat gloomy, but they didn't truly take Xie Weilou's words to heart.
Especially Lumin, as a mentor of the Saint Academy, who would dare to truly go to the Saint Academy to arrest him?
These people from the Tianquan Division wouldn't even be able to enter the Saint Academy's gate!
"Let's go!"
Xie Weilou waved his hand and directly led everyone away.
"Father, save me!"
Xue Li cried out in terror for help. If he entered the Tianquan Division, he would definitely suffer. He didn't want to go to that hellhole.
Jiang Xuan's face was also pale, and her expression was filled with extreme fear.
Xie Weilou walked a few steps, then he stopped and looked at Lord State Uncle Xue: "Imperial Uncle, you can certainly mobilize your connections. This Young Master also wants to see if you can take Xue Li and Jiang Xuan out of the Tianquan Division. I hope what you take away then isn't a corpse!"
After saying that, he walked away with his hands behind his back.
"Little beast..."
Lord State Uncle Xue clenched his fists, his face ashen.
Yan Wuchen frowned. Xie Weilou was simply a madman, acting without considering the consequences. Didn't he know what the ultimate outcome of his actions today would be?
Offending the Guojiu Mansion and offending a mentor from the Saint Academy, he couldn't be naive enough to think that the Tianquan Division could settle this matter for him, could he?
