"If there's no trouble, then there's no trouble. Maybe... I'm just overthinking it!"
Chu Wangyu gazed at the calm Hang City, gently shook his head, and pondered.
" Young Master Chu! Young Master Chu! It's me, Old Zhao, here to visit you again, Young Master Chu!"
Just as Chu Wangyu was preparing to cook, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the private school and reached her ears.
Chu Wangyu couldn't help but roll his eyes come to visit me? I don't believe it. I think there must be some ghost and deity incident in Hang City, otherwise why would you, Old Zhao, personally come to Huangge Village to find me?
Not long after, with a creak, the gate of the private school was pushed open from the outside.
"Huh?"
Constable Zhao glanced at the private school, which had no students at all, with great surprise and bewilderment.
" Young Master Chu, aren't you a teacher? Where are your students? I remember when I came last time, your place was full of students. How come I can't see a single one now?"
Chu Wangyu glanced at Constable Zhao and said rudely, "Don't you even know what time it is? If you don't let them go home for dinner, do you expect me to feed them?"
"Hmm…that's true!" Constable Zhao was not annoyed at all by Chu Wangyu's retort. On the contrary, he chuckled a few times, looking rather embarrassed.
Seeing Constable Zhao's expression, Chu Wangyu couldn't help but frown, immediately realizing that Constable Zhao's visit today was probably not simple.
"Tell me what brings you here today. But, as usual..." Chu Wangyu thought of his friendship with Lao Zhao over the past few months and decided to listen to what he had to say before making a decision.
However, before Chu Wangyu could finish speaking, Constable Zhao hurriedly interrupted him, saying, "I know the usual rules, don't worry, I've already prepared all the intelligence for this incident in advance!"
Immediately afterward, Constable Zhao seemed to have prepared her words in her mind, then nervously rubbed her hands together before revealing a maternal smile. She then hesitantly said to Dao, "Um... I remember telling you about the new magistrate who came to Hang City last time at the city gate, do you remember?"
"I have indeed heard you mention it. What's wrong? Is it illegal for you to know about the new magistrate's arrival?" Chu Wangyu asked Dao casually.
"No, that's not it, Sun Futai" The news of County Magistrate Sun's appointment wasn't exactly a secret; in fact, quite a few people knew about it! Constable Zhao scratched his head, carefully observed Chu Wangyu's expression, hesitated slightly, and then suddenly asked Dao, " Have you heard any rumors about County Magistrate Sun?"
" Rumors about County Magistrate Sun?" Chu Wangyu was speechless. "I'm just an ordinary citizen. How would I know anything about rumors about such an important figure as County Magistrate Sun?"
" Young Master Chu is quite the joker!" Constable Zhao neither confirmed nor denied Chu Wangyu's statement, but he didn't dwell on it. After a moment's thought, he continued, "Since Young Master Chu doesn't know Dao …" "Since there are rumors about the County Magistrate Sun, let me first give you a brief introduction to our newly appointed County Magistrate Sun of Hang City!"
Seeing that Chu Wangyu didn't intend to stop him, Constable Zhao began to speak directly: " Magistrate Sun Futai was once a second-rank official in our Great Xia Dynasty, holding the position of Minister of War. However, due to his overly upright character, one could even say..."
Constable Zhao thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a suitable adjective, so he continued somewhat dejectedly, "In short, because of his personality, he has offended a lot of people and forces. It is said that even..."
At this point, Constable Zhao quietly pointed to the top of his head, then coughed twice before speaking again, albeit vaguely, "Even they want Lord Sun's life!"
Chu Wangyu is no longer a newbie who just left Demon Abyss. Having lived outside of Demon Abyss for some time, he has gathered some basic information. Therefore, he immediately understood Constable Zhao's ambiguous words.
The spot Constable Zhao was pointing to, right above his head, was clearly the " Immortal Court," towering high above and overlooking the land!
Although Chu Wangyu had not gathered much information about the Immortal Court, he could still easily determine from the available information that the relationship between the Immortal Court and the Great Xia Dynasty was not one of rule between "immortals" and "mortals." In fact, the two were independent and powerful forces with frequent conflicts and a very tense relationship.
As for Constable Zhao at this moment, his earlier gesture of pointing his finger at the top of his head seemed to have put immense psychological pressure on him. After calming the trembling in his heart for a while, Constable Zhao licked his somewhat dry lips and continued, " Dao: "
"Originally, given Lord Sun's position in the Emperor's heart, he had no fear of any provocation from the outside world. But... some time ago, for some reason, the Emperor also fell in love with Lord Sun, so Lord Sun was demoted again and again, and finally he was sent directly to our Hang City!"
"In the past, Lord Sun was my Great Xia Dynasty" When he was Minister of War, no one dared to disrespect him, especially since Lord Sun, as a second-rank official, possessed a vast Imperial Dynasty. He was blessed with luck, making him powerful and untouchable. However, now that Lord Sun has been demoted to this place, he no longer enjoys the lofty status he once had as Minister of War, nor does he possess the vast Imperial Dynasty. With Luck blessing him, some demons who had grudges against Lord Sun in the past have begun to stir!
"What's worse, according to rumors, a powerful demon has publicly declared that it is determined to take Lord Sun's life!"
"Therefore, on Lord Sun's journey to his post, many people who had a past with him or admired his upright character, and even some opportunists who hoped to establish a relationship with him through 'offering help in times of need,' rushed to Lord Sun's side, vowing to protect him to the death!"
When Constable Zhao spoke of everyone's vow to protect Lord Sun to the death, his words were impassioned, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Looking at Constable Zhao, who was completely immersed in emotion, Chu Wangyu sighed sincerely. Then, with a slight bow, he said with great emotion, "A very good story well, Constable Zhao, I still need to prepare for the afternoon's classes. I'll take my leave now, and I won't see you off any further!"
Constable Zhao: "???"
