Chapter 335: The Vigilance from the Secular World
Translator: TransnEditor: Transn
”Even if you're Invincible prior to Knowing Destiny, you're just Invincible prior to Knowing Destiny.” There were a lot of other meanings hidden in these simple and even a bit repetitious words. There was tranquility, indifference, and strong self-confidence. Because only a Grand Cultivator in the Knowing Destiny State was qualified to say so.
There were countless people who practiced Taoism in the world, but only a few who were able to embark on the path of cultivation. And those who could finally get into the Knowing Destiny State were even fewer. Those rare powerhouses either hid in the depths of different sects or silently sat in the highest positions of the Imperial Court. They rarely appeared before the common people. However, one of them appeared in the Chang'an Local Government today.
Zhuge Wuren looked at the young fat man in front of him with an extremely weird facial expression. He looked a little excited, afraid, and confused. As the highest official in the Imperial Center Administration, he often visited the Nation Master and Master Huang Yang. As a person from the secular world, he had seen the largest number of Grand Cultivators in the Knowing Destiny State. But he was still shocked at this time, for he could not imagine how such a young man in the world had entered the Knowing Destiny State.
Even Prince Long Qing, the most favored one in the Haotian Taoism sect, and Wang Jinglue, who the Tang Empire placed great expectations on, were considered only to be very likely to enter the Knowing Destiny State. However, this fat young man had stepped over the threshold with ease and knocked Wang Jinglue into the wall with a single finger!
After a short moment, Zhuge Wuren finally realized that there was only one place in the world where one could have such an incredible cultivation, namely, the Academy in the south of Chang'an City. Since Ning Que was a disciple of the Second Floor of the Academy, this man must also be one from the Academy. So, he asked in a slightly husky voice, ”Which Mister are you?”
After all, this official had overestimated the Academy so that he had asked which Mister the fat young person was. In fact, only this fat young person had entered the Knowing Destiny State several years ago in all the Unknown Places in the world, including the back of the mountain, the Zhishou Abbey, and the Xuankong Temple.
Of course, he was Chen Pipi.
Chen Pipi looked at Wang Jinglue, who struggled to stand up at the foot of the wall. He thought about those things that he had heard in the past and could not help shaking his head, saying, ”A person of cultivation should be proud and confident, but not be arrogant. I heard that you once were a fat man. It seems that you even have lost the only advantage today.”
After finishing this sentence, he shifted the thick bedding to another shoulder and prepared to leave with Sangsang. He did not expect to hear Wang Jinglue's voice again, ”If you continued to kill for several months without sleep, you would also lose weight.”
Wang Jinglue wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth and looked at his back, saying, ”The Academy should not interfere in the court administration. I didn't expect that the Second Floor had directly sent Mr. Twelve to grab the girl today.”
Upon listening to these words, Zhuge Wuren learned that this fat young man was Mr. Twelve from the back of the mountain. He had previously asked about it, but Chen Pipi had simply ignored him. He could not help feeling a little bitter and painful. But he repressed the shock in his heart and said coldly, ”Shouldn't Mr. Twelve explain it?”
Chen Pipi looked at him and said blankly, ”You bullied a little girl and are not qualified to hear my explanation.”
Wang Jinglue took his handkerchief out from his sleeves and covered his lips, which continued to bleed. He coughed as he said, ”It seems that the Academy has put its own interests over the world. Does it really want to cover up for a little maidservant?”
Chen Pipi looked at the three people and said disgustedly, ”I hate people talking about the court administration and the secular world. You guys always think of the dragon throne in the palace. Some people want to test Youngest Brother's reaction with it. Some people even don't want Youngest Brother to be the Nation Master. So how can you be qualified to represent the secular world?”
”Who wants to be the Nation Master? Who cares which person sits on the dragon throne? You don't have the same state as the people in the Academy, so you see a different world. Stop playing with these boring methods! Stop learning from those rural women who pondered whether the empress used a sauce when eating a scallion pancake! Otherwise, you would only embarrass yourselves.”
There were no harsh words in what Chen Pipi had said. He just honestly explained that there was an insurmountable gap between them. It made him naturally reveal an unquestionable sense of superiority.
Zhuge trembled in anger. He Mingchi was silent and lost in thought with a bitter and complicated smile on the corner of his mouth. Only Wang Jinglue looked at Pipi thoughtfully and seemed to think of something else.
Chen Pipi looked at the three people and thought that, fortunately, the Youngest Brother was not in Chang'an City now. Otherwise, if the Youngest Brother knew that someone in the Imperial Court dared to bully his little handmaiden, whom he valued more than money, who knew what kind of tragedy would happen?
Immediately, he remembered the serious expression of the Second Brother in the back of the mountain and could not help shuddering. He thought that he would be beaten to death by his Senior Brother's hat if Sangsang was harmed today.
Under the pressure of the Second Brother, no one could stop Chen Pipi from taking Sangsang away, including the Imperial Center Administration, the Southern Gate Temple, the top person in the Tang Empire military, Xu Shi, and the emperor as well as the empress.
Chen Pipi carried the bedding with Sangsang and, swaying as he walked, left the Chang'an Local Government, which was strictly guarded. He left them with a final sentence before departing, ”It's not finished. I'll deal with it when Ning Que returns.”
Zhuge looked a little scared. He Mingchi gently sighed. Wang Jinglue slightly laughed and left.
Half an hour later, a picture of the red rising sun on the background wall of the Chang'an Local Government hall tore in the middle for no reason. On this picture, the red sun was separated from the blue ocean, which made everyone cry out.
Perhaps it felt the vicious meaning hidden in Chen Pipi's words.
Perhaps this was just a warning from a fat student from the Second Floor of the Academy towards the Imperial Court of the Tang Empire.
