Chapter 711: Questioning Fu Delun (1/2)

King Hong looked at the minister of law in front of him and so did advisor Liu.

Both of them were a bit upset at the time Fu Delun had taken to approach them. Usually, any minister that was within the city would be able to reach them in less than twenty minutes, as for the ones that were in the central district would be able to do the same in less than ten minutes.

As far as King Hong was concerned, Fu Delun was supposed to be in the ministry of Law and thus it should have taken him at most ten minutes, if not even less.

”Was Minister Fu Delun busy? It is uncommon for you to take this long.” Adviser Liu took the lead this time.

Lin Mu accusing on their people had already put a bad taste in his mouth and now seeing that very same accused delaying royal summons only made him that much upset. It instead made it seem like it was the King who was actually incompetent and allowed his official to be lacking.

While Lin Mu didn't really think about them like this, to adviser Liu and King Hong, this would be the norm. If one of the court officials acts in a manner that is ill of their position, it reflects the situation of the royalty.

”Ah, indeed adviser Liu. Work has just been more and more hectic these few days. With the autumn festival on our heels and his majesty taking time due to his imminent breakthrough, the work is just even more intense.

I am working to ensure that his majesty is not troubled; not now and not after his successful breakthroughs.” Fu Delun skillfully spoke.

He knew he was at fault here. He had not spent years in the royal court for nothing and knew how to read people. That minute change in the tone of the adviser was enough for him to know that the king had asked him here for something important.

'And who are these three? Their cultivation bases… that one is at the… NASCENT SOUL REALM? And the other two… I can't even sense them.' Fu Delun thought to himself.

While he didn't get fully nervous, he still became a bit more cautious. Right now he was in a situation where he didn't know why he was called here and there were even unknown people here.

”I see… I have called you here to meet three very respected cultivators. Meet Disciples Hua San and Hua Wu. Their master is the sect master of the Noon Grass Sect. And finally, we have brother Lin Mu, he is also someone of a standing equal to the previous too.” King Hong introduced.

Fu Delun raised his brows upon hearing this as the gears within his brain started to move.

”Ah, did the Noon Grass sect decide to help his majesty?” Minster Fu Delun asked.

”Indeed.” King Hong nodded his head.

”Good, good, good.” Fu Delun nodded his head. ”But what is it that respected seniors need of me?” he asked again.
