137: Just going through the motions.

Sixth Master merely glanced at them, and casually said, "You don't need to know too much. Just remember, Thatched Cottage protects Chu Yun."

"If anyone tries to bully him with their power or background, Thatched Cottage will absolutely see it through to the end."

These few sentences alone deeply shocked the people from Misty Rain Tower.

Although they didn't know the specific relationship between Chu Yun and Thatched Cottage, it no longer mattered.

They only needed to know that Chu Yun was a person of Thatched Cottage.

Such a brief statement was enough for them to go back and explain everything.

"Yes."

"Sixth Master, rest assured, we understand."

Jiang Taibai bowed slightly and responded.

Sixth Master, riding A Niu, finally instructed, "Oh, and it's understandable that you report today's events."

"But for now, I don't want too many people to know about the relationship between Chu Yun and Thatched Cottage."

"He has his own Dao, and if this affects his normal destiny… I would be fine, but my Second Senior Sister might not be happy."

When Jiang Taibai and the others heard that this matter also involved Second Master, their expressions became even more panicked.

One must know, there was a rumor in Pure Land Divine Continent.

The founder of their Misty Rain Tower, Emperor Yan Yu, was a loyal suitor of Second Master.

It was said that he pursued her for tens of thousands of years, but it seemed he hadn't even touched Second Master's hand.

This matter involved Thatched Cottage, and specifically involved Second Master, which was beyond Jiang Taibai's ability to handle.

Even if the North Tower's Lord personally handled it, he would have to be extremely cautious.

"Please rest assured, Sixth Master, I will only report this matter to the Lord when I return. As for others, we will not reveal a single word!" Jiang Taibai guaranteed with a serious expression.

Sixth Master turned and rode A Niu away.

He was also helpless; after all, it was their teacher's personal command not to reveal Seventh Mister's identity.

Otherwise, just by revealing the identity of one of the Seven Gentleman of Thatched Cottage, even the Quasi-Emperors and Great Emperors of Divine Continent Pure Land would treat Seventh Mister with the courtesy of a distinguished guest.

After Sixth Master and A Niu disappeared, the environment around Jiang Taibai and the others returned to the sky above the Imperial City.

They scanned their surroundings; nothing had changed, and less than a second had passed.

This meant that they had not fallen into an illusion earlier.

Instead, they had all been pulled into a special, unique space, and even though they had been there for so long, only one second had passed outside.

"The methods of Sixth Master of Thatched Cottage are truly incredible," Xiang Youtian couldn't help but sigh softly at this moment.

"It is rumored that Sixth Master's strength within Thatched Cottage is the lowest ranked among the other masters. I can't imagine, if Sixth Master's methods are so terrifying, the others must be like true Heavenly Gods descended to the mortal realm," A Duo Xi also exclaimed in admiration.

"Lord Jiang, what should we do now?"

"Should we return directly to the General Tower?" Zhuang Shang asked at this moment.

Jiang Taibai's expression was solemn as he thought carefully for a moment, then said, "Since we've already come, we can't just go back without even meeting them."

"No matter what, we still have to go through the motions."

"Let's go, to the Imperial Palace."

"Be polite, and absolutely do not act presumptuously!"

Listening to Jiang Taibai's instructions, the few of them quickly responded, "Yes."

After Sixth Master appeared, Jiang Taibai's feeling of being above everything had now become very peaceful.

………

Imperial Palace.

Chu Yun had already received a message from Xu Nian, informing him that the special envoys were already on their way to the Imperial City.

Therefore, he had also arranged for Xiao Bai, to prevent the white tiger from being discovered.

He, Meng Ruxue, and Heavenly Demoness sat in the Imperial Study.

Not long after, Luo Feng came to report, "Your Majesty, the special envoys from Misty Rain Tower have arrived."

Chu Yun's eyes were bright, and he calmly nodded, "Let them in."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Luo Feng immediately went down.

Meng Ruxue and Heavenly Demoness still felt a sense of solemnity. At this point, they could only adapt to the situation as it unfolded.

Soon, Jiang Taibai, Xu Nian, and Bai Xuanran walked in.

"Chu Emperor."

Xu Nian stepped forward, a smile on his face, and actively introduced, "Chu Emperor, let me introduce you."

"This is Lord Bai Xuanran from our Great Xia Dynasty's Misty Rain Tower."

"These few are Special Envoy Xiang, Special Envoy Zhuang from the East Tower, and Special Envoy Duo from the North Tower."

"As for this one, he is the Guardian Elder of the North Tower, and also Special Envoy Jiang Taibai, who is primarily responsible for investigating the Han Sen incident this time."

Guardian Elder!!

When Meng Ruxue and Heavenly Demoness heard that the person in front of them was actually the Guardian Elder of the North Tower, which meant he was an Eternal Realm expert!

In that case, things would be tricky.

It seemed the North Tower also attached great importance to this matter, and it would probably not be easy to gloss over.

At this moment, Jiang Taibai and the others looked at Chu Yun, their eyes filled only with politeness and admiration, and he smiled, "Chu Emperor, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Special Envoys, you've traveled a long way to come here; it must have been arduous."

"Come, please sit down. Whatever matters there are, let's discuss them sitting down." Chu Yun smiled faintly and gestured.

"Good."

Jiang Taibai and the others also sat down immediately.

Then, Meng Ruxue was the first to speak, "Special Envoys, regarding Han Sen, we can still provide some limited evidence to prove that his true form is an Evil Infant."

"And the evil artifact he refined is also in His Majesty's hands. Besides that, you can also send people to investigate within the Qianle Imperial Family's territory; the population in several prefectures has drastically decreased."

"All of this was done by Han Sen to refine that evil artifact."

Meng Ruxue understood Misty Rain Tower's modus operandi. Therefore, if they actively argued their case at this moment and could also provide fragments of Han Sen's memories, it would at least confirm that Han Sen had violated Misty Rain Tower's rules.

However, just as the two women were planning to fully assist Chu Yun and bring out Misty Rain Tower's rules and regulations to face this tough battle.

Jiang Taibai suddenly raised a hand, interrupting him, "Your Majesty, at present, there is no need to explain this."

Then, under the slightly bewildered gazes of the two women, he looked at Chu Yun and asked, "Chu Emperor, you said Han Sen is an Evil Infant, and that Han Sen controlled the Qianle Imperial Family, massacring living beings to refine evil artifacts for himself, and so on—are these events completely and truly accurate?"

Chu Yun nodded, "Absolutely genuine, completely true."

Jiang Taibai nodded solemnly and directly said, "Good, then please rest assured, Chu Emperor, I will truthfully report Han Sen's crimes."

"Including those who helped him conceal his identity, they will also receive some punishment."

"Now that the truth is clear, we will not disturb you further."

With that, Jiang Taibai and the others stood up, preparing to leave.

Heavenly Demoness and Meng Ruxue looked at everything before them, and their hearts were bewildered.

These were the special envoys from Misty Rain Tower?

Their method of investigation was just asking this one question, and that was it?

It was over?

Were they really not joking with them?

Was this still the Misty Rain Tower they remembered from their previous lives?

To an astute observer, wasn't it obvious that they had opened a grand path for the Great Xia Dynasty?

Or was it that Jiang Taibai and Han Sen had a blood feud?

But one was a Saint King Realm, and the other was an Eternal Realm; no matter how much Han Sen could make enemies, he couldn't possibly make one with Jiang Taibai, could he?

Jiang Taibai's blatant act of going easy completely bewildered these two former Empresses.
