Chapter 104 Grand Feast at Bluenight Palace (1/2)

Early the next day, Lu Tianzi once again returned to the Pagoda of Wisdom.

While he was there the previous evening, Lu Tianzi had realised that there was a separate section to the Pagoda of Widom – one that focused on information rather than techniques.

And among these various types of information were also information on herbalism and the art of inscriptions!

That was the reason why he had returned immediately after a night of cultivation.

When he thought about it, this made sense as well.

As the largest influence within Bluenight City, how could the Nine Suns Sect not possess its own heritage in terms of side jobs?

Even though the Heaven Constellations Inscription Tower had its own library of information, Lu Tianzi had been done with going through them a long time ago.

Of course, this only referred to the ones that were made available to him.

As for the personal secrets of each inscription master, Lu Tianzi naturally would not be able to get his hands on those.

Thankfully, being a member of both influences, Lu Tianzi was not only entitled to enjoy the heritage of the Heaven Constellations Inscription Tower, but he could similarly browse through those of the Nine Suns Sect.

That was double the benefits available to others!

By now, Lu Tianzi could already be considered as quite knowledgeable when it came to these two subjects. He was able to easily understand the underlying concepts within each jade slip, allowing him to breeze through all the available information.

But even so, due to the sheer amount of jade slips available, he had to spend almost the entire day before he was finally done.

By the time he exited the Pagoda of Wisdom, it was already almost time for the grand feast as informed by Elder Diansheng. It was also due to this matter that he had informed the Heaven Constellations Inscription Tower that he would not be going over today.

Satisfied with the knowledge that he had gained over the day, Lu Tianzi happily went to meet up with the rest before they headed over to Bluenight Palace.

What Lu Tianzi did not know was that while he was burying himself in the sea of knowledge, something huge had happened at another corner of the sect grounds!

The prison cell was poorly furnished, containing only a bed and nothing else, not even windows to allow the sunlight to enter.

A small candle with a flickering flame that was placed outside the cell was the only thing that provided any form of illumination.

Nancheng Shu's expression was extremely ugly as he stood in front of the dark prison cell, staring at the young man within.

The person within the dark cell looked up in a lethargic manner when he noticed someone's presence.

But upon seeing Nancheng Shu's face, the young man's downcast eyes immediately lit up as he was filled with anticipation.

”Shu, you are finally here!” the young man called out in an excited manner.

”Older brother,” Nancheng Shu answered coldly.

This young man in the cell was actually none other than Nancheng Wei!

Even though he was older than Nancheng Shu, his martial talent was much lower as well, resulting in his cultivation level falling behind his younger brother's by a large extent.

As for how he ended up in the prison cell, it was something that had only happened a few hours before.

Early this morning, Elder Diansheng had suddenly ordered the enforcers of the sect to capture him, throwing him into the sect's prison to await trial.

To imprison a sect member even before conducting trial was a huge matter, so Elder Diansheng's actions naturally shocked the entire Nine Suns Sect!

As one of the leaders of the Inner Sect, there was no way that Nancheng Shu would not learn of it.

”Shu, you will be able to get me out of here, won't you? With your status in the sect, even the Elders will have to give you some face if you asked them!” Nancheng Wei's eyes were full of expectation.

But unexpectedly, Nancheng Shu only felt his lips twitch uncontrollably upon seeing the hope in this older brother's eyes. At this point, he could not help but feel rage rapidly welling up within him.

”Older brother, you need to wake the fuck up!” Nancheng Shu roared in anger, causing Nancheng Wei to jump in fright.

”W-What's wrong, Shu?” Nancheng Wei stuttered nervously. Right now, the younger brother in front of him actually frightened him.

”Do you still not understand the gravity of the matter?” Nancheng Shu huffed as he tried to calm himself down. ”I have already gone to Elder Diansheng before coming over, hoping to intercede for whatever you have done. That is also how I have come to learn of the good deeds that you have done!”

”You already went to intercede with Elder Diansheng?” Nancheng Wei's face lit up once again. ”What did he say? Did he agree to let me go?”

”Do you think these bars will still be separating us now if he had agreed?” Nancheng Shu snorted in disdain, the contempt for his older brother growing by the second. ”Older brother, of all the things you could do, you just had to choose the one thing that is absolutely taboo, setting up a fellow sect member! On top of that, this person whom you targeted just had to be the top ranker in the Nine Suns Trial! Just what is wrong with your brain? With how things are, do you really think that my words alone will suffice to get you off the hook?!”

”This…” Nancheng Wei's countenance sank once more. ”What should I do then? There must be something I can do!”

Nancheng Wei was getting desperate as he saw the reaction of his younger brother.

His younger brother always had his back in every situation, and that had allowed him to get away with committing quite a few mistakes in the past. But seeing that even Nancheng Shu was so negative about the situation now, Nancheng Wei was finally starting to fear for his eventual fate!

”Right, can't you ask that Nanlu Tianzi for a favour? If he chooses to forgive me and forget about the matter, there should be a good chance of me being released!” Nancheng Wei quickly suggested.

”Are you saying that you want me to beg Nanlu Tianzi for forgiveness in your stead?” Nancheng Shu's tone instantly turned cold.

”Shu, you will do it for me… won't you? I am your older brother after all…” Nancheng Wei pleaded meekly.
