765 This is Deification! (2/2)
What a bastard!
”Your Majesty, even though Your Majesty is in a fury, now is not the time to vent your spleen. What's important now is that it is obvious that the current turbulent situation was caused by those with ill-intentions… What we should consider most now is what should be done about this matter. How do we react?”
Fang Qingtian said sternly, ”This matter must be dealt with as soon as possible. If it were left to develop into something bigger later, it would be a major event that would affect the very foundations of this country.”
”Harrumph!”
His Majesty huffed angrily and said, ”Tell me then, how do we deal with it? Answer me, one by one.”
Qiu Jianhan coughed, wanting to speak. He lifted his head but shrank back. He looked at Yun Xiaoyao, signaling him to speak about this matter as he was the most suitable person to do it - he was the father of the culprit.
Yun Xiaoyao rolled his eyes and shrank in his chair without making a sound; I am to speak? How dare I speak now? I would be beaten up the moment I opened my mouth. Besides, I am helpless with things that require thinking. You have regarded me too highly if you let me think of a way.
King Yun felt very much aggrieved.
'Your father is an idle king; that old bastard was dissolute, gave birth to your father and did not care. Although I was made marquis, I was not given real power, not even a salary…'
'However, how many times have I put my own life at stake for the Empire of Yutang all these years? Surviving countless battles is just of little importance. My son is Supreme Cloud. What is wrong with that? He has saved the whole empire… We, father and son, have contributed so much for the Empire of Yutang; we have nothing in return but resentment. Up until now, you bunch of scoundrels still want your father to go against thunder!'
'Where's the logic in this?'
'I will not come out, even if I was beaten to death!'
'I will probably be beaten to death the moment I ventured out!'
'You fellows still have some dignity in the eyes of the emperor, but I have none in front of him!'
'He beats and chastises me whenever he wants. I have to restrain my cultivation base to resist retaliating, even when he hits me, lest the bastard be hurt. Except for the fact that this fellow cannot kill me, he can do whatever he wants to torment me as if it is unquestionable and euphemistically called 'home law'.'
'Screw the pooch!'
Leng Daoyin was one who was the least suspected thus far. First, he had little contact with Yun Yang. Second, he did not receive any treatment from Yun Yang. He coughed and rubbed off the spittle on his face, and said, ”Lao Fang is right. It is obvious that someone is behind all of this, harboring ill intent! I reckon that it is most probably the few people from the so-called School of Kismet State who are behind this. We might as well put them under our surveillance…”
”Do I need to be reminded by you that we can do so? What you said is bullshit!” The emperor rolled his eyes, fuming. ”The problem now is that this has become an act of deification. Don't you know that the law cannot be enforced when everyone is an offender?”
Everyone was quiet.
His words were right on point.
That was the reality, a solid case of deification.
By depending on Supreme Cloud's influence, they would trigger an upheaval to initiate the School of Kismet State into the movement. They could then mobilize scholars from all over the world to exalt the School of Kismet State's position to the altar!
They were smart because there was only one man in the Empire of Yutang who could be deified - Supreme Cloud!
