"Gu Xiaoyou, when you came out of the Lu family's old house, you must have a lot of questions in your mind," Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcism Department, paused for a moment and continued in an amiable tone, "Now, you can just ask me. It's easy to answer. , I will answer you."
Gu Xu pondered for a moment and then asked: "Master Chief, you should have known for a long time that Tang Hui did not die fifteen years ago, but has always stayed in Lu's house, right?"
Gu Xu's question was very straightforward.
After all, Luo Sishou, as a saint who is proficient in the art of divine secret deduction, is known as "knowing everything about the world"; and Chu Fengge also said that Luo Sishou has been paying attention to this continent through the "divine secret tokens" on them. The scene in the family's haunted house.
Everything Gu Xu saw and heard in Lu Zhai could hardly be hidden from Luo Sishou's eyes.
It is undoubtedly a very stupid behavior to hide something in front of the chief executive.
Luochuan nodded and said, "I do know. And the emperor also knows about this."
Hearing this, Gu Xu couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly.
Last night, when the battle was at its most intense, the "Imperial Envoy Token" carried by Tang Hui suddenly shattered, causing Tang Hui's mentality to collapse and give up resistance - if not for this, Gu Xu would not have been able to kill a junior high school student so easily. enemy in every realm.
At that time, Gu Xu had already secretly guessed that Tang Hui's death must be related to the Daqi Emperor.
Luo Chuan's words confirmed his guess.
"so……"
"Gu Xiaoyou, you have to understand that Tang Hui was once a ferocious and cunning dog. He did a lot of things for the emperor that were inconvenient for him to do himself." Luo Chuan smiled and interrupted what Gu Xu was about to say, "But Now, the emperor has no need for this dog - even the existence of this dog will bring him a lot of trouble.
"So, he wants to use your help to get rid of Tang Hui."
Gu Xu remained silent.
What Luo Chuan said did not exceed his expectations.
What surprised Gu Xu was actually Luo Chuan's attitude.
He clearly felt that the chief minister did not seem to have the respect that a minister should have for the Emperor of Qi - on the contrary, he talked about the emperor's activities that were inconvenient to talk to others without any scruples.
"However, Gu Xiaoyou, I have to solemnly remind you of something," Luo Chuan saw that Gu Xu had not spoken for the time being, so he continued, "In front of outsiders, you must not mention that you met Tang Hui in the haunted house - you just He said that you used the 'Jinghong Pen' to solve the resentful spirits in the Lu family's haunted house."
"I understand." Gu Xu nodded in agreement.
He knew why Luo Sishou made such a request——
On the one hand, the Emperor of Da Qi wanted to leave a good reputation for Tang Hui, so as to avoid being considered by the world as "the bird is hidden, the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked", so that no one would dare to be his dog in the future;
On the other hand, the fact that "Tang Hui has survived to this day" will undoubtedly make everyone suspect that the case of Lu's haunted house is not a simple haunting case, but has another hidden secret.
The emperor obviously didn't want to let those old things get into trouble.
Afterwards, Gu Xu pondered for a few seconds and asked a question that he had been very worried about: "So, Mr. Chief Secretary, will the emperor suspect that I know something that I shouldn't know during the execution of this task? "
"Don't worry," Luo Chuan replied with a smile, "I will use the secret technique to guarantee you. You are just following orders and killing Tang Hui is just to protect yourself. You know nothing about the past.
"Although the Emperor's cultivation level is higher than mine, his attainments in the art of heaven are far inferior to mine. I can keep you safe and sound."
Gu Xu took a deep breath.
Luochuan's words were so shocking that he could almost be considered as "bullying the emperor".
He can no longer figure out what kind of attitude Luo Chuan holds towards the Emperor of Da Qi - is it possible that there is an unknown conflict between them?
But with Gu Xu's current strength and status, he is still unable to get involved in disputes at that level.
All he can do now is to hold tightly to the thigh of the Chief Secretary, strive for more resources, and cultivate to the seventh realm as soon as possible.
…………
After thinking for a moment, Gu Xu asked another question that he had been curious about for a long time: "Why does the Chief Secretary value me so much?"
At this moment, Gu Xu thought of many things: for example, when he participated in the promotion assessment, Luo Sishou specially sent his confidant Chu Fengge to the remote Yishui County; for example, he was asked to solve the problem by name. The case of Lu's haunted house gave him the opportunity to obtain the "Jinghong Pen", and he also asked the famous genius Chu Fengge of the Da Qi Dynasty to be his bodyguard; for another example, in order to prevent the emperor from becoming suspicious of him, he did not hesitate to use "Tian Ji" Technique" to deceive the emperor...
Even if he is a spiritual genius with a rare third-grade vision, he wouldn't be able to achieve this level!
Luo Sishou smiled faintly and replied: "It's very simple. Because your cultivation potential is actually far beyond the third level. Of course, special care must be taken for a cultivation genius like you who is rare to see in a century."
"Far more than the third grade?" Gu Xu frowned slightly.
He clearly remembered that when he was undergoing the qualification test at the Yishui Exorcist Department Yamen, the "Tianyan Stone" showed the third-grade vision "Light of the Blazing Sun", and it was certified by Chu Fengge's two followers.
"Gu Xiaoyou, you only know that the 'Sky Stone' shone brightly on the day you took the assessment," Luo Chuan said, "But you don't know that when Chu Fengge's entourage moved the 'Sky Stone' back, The 'Tianyan Stone' broke into pieces and can no longer be used in the future."
"Broken into pieces? Why?"
"Because the 'Tian Yan Stone' tests a practitioner's qualifications by relying on the magic circle inside it that can deduce the secrets of heaven," Luo Chuan explained, "However, your cultivation potential has exceeded the upper limit of what it can deduce. Therefore, its magic circle collapsed, and the 'Sky Stone' was also damaged."
"That's it." Gu Xu murmured.
Then he raised his head and asked Luochuan solemnly: "Master Chief, how many levels of cultivation potential do I have?"
"The only thing that can cause the collapse of the 'Heavenly Stone' formation is the first-grade qualifications that only exist in legends." Luo Sishou replied calmly.
"First grade..." Gu Xu sighed silently in his heart, "It turns out that the talent I gained with my lifespan is not that bad after all..."
Unconsciously, his eyes gradually became brighter.
If what Luo Chuan said is true, then the possibility of him cultivating the seventh realm before the age of thirty will no longer be as slim as before.
Deep down he was suddenly filled with hope for the future.
