Yan Xiu looked at Fang Zhengzhi's depressed expression and felt that as a friend, he should console him. For example, even though you took seven years to reach the Heavenly Reflection State, you are still a Heavenly Reflection State cultivator.
However, just as the words were about to leave his mouth, he felt that it wasn't too appropriate, because he himself was still stuck at the Star Condensation realm.
As such...
After some thought, Yan Xiu changed his approach.
"Let's go see what treasures there are in the treasure hall?" Yan Xiu felt that it was better to change the topic and distract him.
"Sure! I'm sure you know more about treasures than I do. Can you tell me more about them? "Fang Zhengzhi's gloomy expression was instantly wiped away.
"Of course!" Yan Xiu nodded. Then, he scanned the surroundings and quickly picked out a few unique treasures and introduced them to Fang Zhengzhi.
Fang Zhengzhi followed behind Yan Xiu quietly, listening to the introduction of the treasures like an obedient student.
After the introduction of the surrounding treasures, the two of them slowly walked deeper into the treasure hall. The Heavenly Treasure Hall had been managed by the Divine Constabulary for generations. There were more treasures than these.
Lu Yusheng and the seven youths stared intently at Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu walking further and further away, their eyes filled with anticipation. However, Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu were walking too slowly. They could only resist the urge to move.
Yan Xiu and Fang Zhengzhi admired the treasures as they walked for a quarter of an hour. They were about 500 meters away from Lu Yusheng and the seven youths.
They could see, but it was difficult for sound to travel.
At this moment, Yan Xiu stopped and turned to look at Lu Yusheng and the rest in the distance.
"Are you really not going to kill them?"
"Mm, didn't you already know?" Fang Zhengzhi was not surprised by Yan Xiu's question.
"If you want to kill them, this is your last chance. Even though killing Lu Yusheng will be troublesome, this is the Heavenly Treasure Hall. The Divine Constabulary is responsible for what happened to Lu Yusheng in the Heavenly Treasure Hall. As long as we have a sufficient reason, Chi Hou will definitely stand on our side. The Battle Constabulary will not fall out with the Divine Constabulary over Lu Yusheng. "
"The reason I didn't kill Lu Yusheng is because there is something I need him to do, and this is something only he can do."
"What is it?"
"Do you still remember when we worked together to injure Lu Yusheng in the Spring Garden? At that time, I was only a little surprised, but when I fought with him just now, I truly felt that he couldn't completely control everything around him. "
"What do you mean?"
"There's something wrong with his Amaterasu. At least, that is what I think. Coupled with the fact that he broke through to the Heavenly Reflection State last night, these two things cannot be a coincidence. "
"You think there's someone behind Lu Yusheng?"
"Yes."
"Is it Chi Hou?"
"No, just as Chi Hou said, my existence is not harmful to him."
"Then who do you think it is?"
"I don't know, but looking at the current situation, firstly, as long as Lu Yusheng is alive, the thread will not break. Secondly, the Dao of All Creation is about nature. Lu Yusheng forcefully breaking through was already a heaven-defying act. Even if he could live, it would be an extremely difficult thing. Thirdly, if someone really wanted him dead, then why would I be in such a hurry to push this trouble onto us? Therefore, no matter how I look at it, Lu Yu's life is more valuable than his death. "
"I understand! Then let's go further. I heard that there is a very important item in the treasure room of the Heavenly Treasure Hall, do you want to take a look? "
"If even you think it is very important, then I naturally have to take a look."
"Yes. Then let's go! "
"Okay!"
...
To Lu Yusheng and the seven youths, things like cloth and clothes naturally could not really bind them.
Hence, when they saw Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu walk away. Lu Yusheng and the rest finally moved.
"Young Master Lu, just now, we really had no choice..."
"Hmph! Let's leave the treasure room first. If Fang Zhengzhi returns, who knows what will happen! " Lu Yusheng's eyes glimmered with an icy light. He grabbed the clothes of another youth and put it on.
"My clothes..." The youth whose clothes were snatched. Suddenly, he felt like crying, but no tears came out.
However, did he dare to say it? Of course not...
...
Just as Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu were admiring the treasures in the treasure hall and strolling leisurely into the depths, Lu Yusheng and the seven youths had already escaped from the Heavenly Treasure Hall.
Leaving early?
This had never happened before. Naturally, it attracted the attention of the Divine Constabulary.
Then...
The news of Fang Zhengzhi breaking through to the Heavenly Reflection State was like a boulder falling into a lake, causing an uproar.
"Fang Zhengzhi is in the Heavenly Reflection State?!"
"How is that possible? He is only 15, how can he be in the Heavenly Reflection State... "
"Is he a monster? If that's the case, the competition in two years... "
Just like Lu Yusheng and the rest when they saw Fang Zhengzhi in the Heavenly Reflection State, everyone was in disbelief when they heard the news.
When Chi Hou heard this news, his jaw dropped. "What the hell? How can he be in the Heavenly Reflection State?! Can you be more reasonable? How can it be so easy to be in the Heavenly Reflection State?! "
When he thought about how he was already 20 when he was in the Heavenly Reflection State, Chi Hou suddenly felt like he was aging.
All of the officials from the five constabularies who had yet to leave after the banquet, as well as the talented youths, were all stunned when they heard this news.
No one wanted to believe this.
But...
If this news was personally spread by Lu Yusheng and the seven youths, who wouldn't believe it?!
...
In the Divine Constabulary's courtyard, Yue Er, who was dressed in a green dress, was slightly nervous. She did not understand how someone could be like her mistress, breaking through to the Heavenly Reflection State at 15?
There were only two in the entire Great Xia Dynasty!
The guqin in the pavilion stopped at this moment.
Chi Guyan, who was wearing a pink dress and a white fur shawl, retracted her slender hands from the guqin. On her stunning face, her eyes were as bright as the stars. There was only calmness, a calmness as clear as the autumn waters.
"Is he finally in the Heavenly Reflection State?" Chi Guyan raised her head and looked at the azure sky. There was no shock on her face, only a matter-of-fact expression...
...
Within the classical and elegant building, King Duan's expression was dark. He looked at the faintly discernible pavilion in the distance and threw the white jade cup in his hand to the ground.
With a loud crack, it shattered into powder.
"Heavenly Reflection... a 15 year old Heavenly Reflection State, this news will soon spread throughout the entire Great Xia Dynasty! I reckon that even Imperial Father will know about this matter! "
"Your highness, please calm down. Once Fang Zhengzhi reaches the Heavenly Reflection State, his engagement with Chi Guyan cannot be hidden anymore. What you should do now is to return to the capital immediately!" Elder Wen, who was dressed in a black Taoist robe, looked at King Duan and advised.
"Return to the capital? Why? Do you think I am afraid of a mere Heavenly Reflection State cultivator? "King Duan's anger seemed to intensify when he heard this.
"Heavenly Reflection State is not scary. However, he did not kill Lu Yusheng. This is shocking. As such, your highness, you must return to the capital as soon as possible!"
"He did not kill Lu Yusheng? What does this have to do with me returning to the capital? "King Duan was slightly confused.
"Your highness, why do you think he did not kill Lu Yusheng?"
"Of course it is because of Lu Yusheng's identity. He is a poor villager, how would he dare to make an enemy of the Battle Constabulary?"
"Your Highness's thoughts are not without reason, but Your Highness, don't forget, yesterday at the banquet, he bargained with Chi Hou in front of everyone. How could someone like him be afraid of an identity? Furthermore, Yan Xiu from the Yan Family entered the Heavenly Treasure Hall with him. Yan Xiu would not be afraid of Lu Yusheng's identity. "
"Then what does Elder Wen think he means?"
"If he killed Lu Yusheng, then everything would be over. We can add fuel to the fire at the Battle Constabulary. However, he did not kill Lu Yusheng. This means that he knows the truth."
"You are saying that he already knows that Lu Yusheng was ordered by us? Did Lu Yusheng leak the secret? "
"No! If he really knew that we were behind Lu Yusheng, then Lu Yusheng would definitely be dead by now! Lu Yusheng is still alive, so it means that he knows about this, but he doesn't know the person who did it... Then, he left Lu Yusheng alive, hoping that we can kill him, and he will get what he wants to know. "
"Elder Wen is right. However, how does he know about this?"
"I miscalculated this. I thought that he was only in the Star Conglomerate State. If he was, he would not have discovered the secret of Lu Yusheng's Heavenly Reflection State. However, if he was also in the Heavenly Reflection State, then it would be very easy to discover."
"Elder Wen, do not blame yourself. Even I could not predict that Fang Zhengzhi was in the Heavenly Reflection State. However, I still do not understand. What does not killing Lu Yusheng have to do with us returning to the capital?"
"Your highness is extremely intelligent. You naturally understand that what Fang Zhengzhi wants us to do now is to kill Lu Yusheng. Furthermore, Lu Yusheng would also be worried about this! As such, if we continue to stay in the Divine Constabulary, this matter cannot be kept a secret forever! Whether we kill Lu Yusheng or not, this matter may be exposed. However, if we return to the capital now, things will be completely different. Firstly, we can avoid being targeted. Secondly, we can make Lu Yusheng feel at ease. Then, he will naturally not expose himself! "
"Elder Wen is... retreating in order to advance?"
"Your highness, do you still want to enter?!"
"Water that has already been spilled cannot be taken back!"
