797 Scapegoa (2/2)

Under the attacks of the outer region Alien Races, it was swiftly falling apart and giving rise to a chaotic era.

The following few decades relied on Kong Yao to support them.

However, he had already stolen that pillar, that Unparalleled Famous General that won all wars.

The Jin Buhui in his memory was really smart and didn't look like one that would be used by others.

He should have feared such a situation and avoided it.

”These are instructions from others and not mine.”

Jin Buhui laughed bitterly, ”Moreover, I really can't stand these Aristocratic Families! If one looks back in history, one can see that if it wasn't for these families causing problems everywhere, the Central Cloud Continent wouldn't have had large periods of chaos every 1,000 years. Commoners were unable to live good lives while billions were wounded and killed. In the past, I didn't like the Imperial Court for suppressing us, but only after entering the Dynasty did I realize that there was no choice. Sects and Aristocratic Families, even those factionless cultivators were huge problems for the country!”

The worry on his brow became thicker and thicker. His eyes were cold as he spoke, ”If it isn't your intentions, then did Emperor Yuancheng force you to do it?”

Jin Buhui avoided the question and didn't reply, saying flatly, ”It hadn't reached such a state! Normal Censorates wouldn't dare to submit such documents. Only I with Haoxuan Sect as my shield had such rights. With the sect to rely on, even if anything happens, it won't be too bad. At most, I will be removed from my position. Isn't that what I wanted?”

Zong Shou opened his mouth. He wanted to say that when the time came, even Haoxuan Sect might not be able to protect him!

He calmed himself down and kept silent.

Wood had already been made into a boat now. Since he had made his mind up, it would be no use to persuade him.

However, he felt really uneasy in his heart and had a bad feeling.

In the end, he could only sigh, raising up the wine flask and helping him pour a cup.

”If you have no choice, you can run over to Great Gan to hide. Within my country, no one can harm you.”

Jin Buhui laughed out loud. Haoxuan Sect was his shield so wasn't Great Gan Zong Shou, the Blood Sword Monster Lord who suppressed a world, someone he could rely on too?

To two of them continued to speak, but they didn't mention the Aristocratic Families as well as the matters of Great Shang.

They talked casually about everything. 40% of the time was Zong Shou advising him on cultivation to help solve his queries and things that he didn't understand.

He had a feeling that this fellow still persisted on the cultivation path as well as money.

However, he was still a little distracted by his focus on all parts of Great Shang. If not, his progress wouldn't have been so slow.

Based on what he said, since he was a Low-Grade-4 Official, then he needed to be fit for his identity and do things for the people.

After all, he was a Confucian Faction disciple and he couldn't not do anything in a world where chaos was about to rise up.

The two of them talked casually for a day before Jin Buhui took his leave.

He rode the Grade-5 Mount to fly back to the Capital. He was an Official and he rushed back in time to participate in the daily assembly.

Zong Shou sat alone, looking opposite in a daze.

He knew that his friend was dropping step by step into an abyss, but there was no way he could pull him out.

Such dejection and defeat as well as anxiousness was tough to describe in words.

In the next moment, he looked to the side.

”Since you are here, why not come in and sit? You keep hiding to eavesdrop, don't you think someone like you shouldn't be doing such things...”

The moment he said this, two people appeared from outside of the restaurant. One of them was dressed as a Confucian while the other was an Old Taoist.

”Ruler has such sharp Spiritual Senses!”

They didn't feel awkward at all for being found out as they walked over confidently, greeting Zong Shou, ”Commoner Taoist Zhongxuan greets the Great Gan Ruler!”

The person in front of him, be it his position as Ruler or disciple of Dragon Shadow, deserved his respect.

His lips couldn't help but curl up in disdain. What sharp Spiritual Sense?

If a God Realm Cultivator wanted to hide, how could he notice him?

The Zhongxuan was just too close or maybe he was trying to probe and test him.

”So it is Great Shang Grand Tutor Zhongxuan!”

Zong Shou asked directly, ”Did you hear everything just now?”

The person probably came earlier than when he had sensed.

”Naturally, I did!”

Zhongxuan nodded slightly, ”As the Ruler of a country, you are close to invincible in the Cloud World. Since you came to my Great Shang, I had to be careful. Please forgive me!”

He smiled and his eyes squinted with a dangerous glow, ”It is good that you heard it! Jin Buhui is my good friend and our relationship is deep. Please tell your Emperor that no matter what, all of you are planning not to hurt him. If not, I will stop at nothing!”

”Preposterous!”
