Chapter 458: Chapter 459, Chu Yu Has a Realization
The venerable master held his teacup and sipped his tea.
He was also very fond of Chu Yu, otherwise, he wouldn’t have tacitly allowed him to learn martial arts with Tianci.
It was clear he was a man of deep emotions and kept his promises. Although his relationship with the Saintess had yet to manifest into anything substantial, everyone in the Moon Worship Sect treated him as one of their own.
Since he was one of their own, they had to take extra care of him,
otherwise, the venerable master wouldn’t have noticed the clues on that xuan paper.
After finishing his tea and setting down the cup, the venerable master took out a piece of xuan paper from his robe and handed it to Chu Yu, "Take a look!"
Chu Yu raised an eyebrow, took it and, after a short while, understood, "Such a fine trap indeed; after all these years, the endless schemes and conspiracies, he seems never to tire of them!"
Seeing Chu Yu’s reaction, the venerable master knew his own involvement was no longer needed.
"Make your own decisions. If you need manpower, just mention it to the old man!"
Chu Yu was momentarily taken aback, but still clasped his fist towards the venerable master in gratitude, "Thank you!"
"Hehe!" The venerable master laughed and left.
Chu Yu clenched the xuan paper in his hands, his fists cracking audibly.
"Luoyi, Luo’er!"
"Yes, my lord?"
"Get ready. Once we return to the capital, I wish to present the Emperor with a grand gift!"
In this dynasty, many things were exclusive, such as xuan paper and the patterns in its corners.
Chu Yu sniffed the xuan paper, pinpointing it from the Prince Rui Residence without a doubt.
He had long known the Emperor had planted spies in the Prince Rui Residence but never imagined this spy could obtain such xuan paper.
"Activate the twelve Golden Guards to clean this up!"
Luoyi and Luo’er nodded, utterly astonished.
This was the lifeline the late emperor had left for Chu Yu.
For so many years, Chu Yu had never deployed them, so why now?
"He had guessed for so many years, now I shall let him know that the Emperor His father favored is me. I hold the Golden Guards in my hands. Let him panic like a cornered dog. I am through with these disgraceful days!" Chu Yu exclaimed as he threw the teacup, "I don’t want those people to return to report back. And those two thorns hiding in the darkness, deal with them!"
The Emperor had sent Hidden Guards to monitor every move of Yun Jinnian, which Chu Yu knew, but given the abundance of experts in the Moon Worship Sect, those two Hidden Guards couldn’t infiltrate.
He never had the desire to become Emperor, yet there were always some who suffered from persecution mania, constantly plotting against him.
"Yes!"
Luoyi took the order and left.
The Golden Guards were formed from the best of the Hidden Guards, all prodigies in their diversity of skills.
However, a Golden Guard could only serve their master in ten endeavors and if they were still alive after those, they could leave the Golden Guards and live a new life with a new identity.
The Emperor would no longer disturb their lives, ensuring the loyalty of the next Golden Guards to the Emperor.
Chu Yu sat on the chair, fidgeting with a sachet in his hands, thinking about how aimless the past nineteen years of his life had been.
In his youth, he spent his days raising birds and fighting dogs, and as he grew older, his indulgences only increased.
Whenever he left the house, he did so alone, accompanied only by Luoyi and Luo’er, fully aware the Emperor viewed him as a thorn in his side. What exactly was he gambling on? What did he hope for?
But now this was good, the facade had finally been torn away.
From now on, the fight for supremacy would depend on each one’s ability!
Xiu Residence
"Master, master, terrible news, terrible news!"
Xiu Bingsheng’s eyebrows twitched slightly as he inquired, "What’s the trouble now?"
"Master, you feared that the madam, the young master, and the young miss might encounter trouble, so you dispatched an additional squad to shadow them discreetly. However, those men have returned, claiming that the madam, the young miss, and the young master are all dead!"
Upon hearing this, Xiu Bingsheng felt as if his mind had exploded, and he was momentarily speechless, "This means the end of my lineage..."
