I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 439 - 191: This Sword Should Belong Only to the Heavens (Please Subscribe)_4

"How so?" Emperor Wei looked at him with a smile, "Does my wish trouble him?"

The Great Master took a deep breath, and said helplessly, "Your Majesty’s words, like ’flowers reflected in the mirror, the moon reflected in the water’, I’m afraid Chen Yi cannot bear such a heavy responsibility."

"Is that so?"

Emperor Wei sighed slightly in disappointment, then looked up at the night sky again, murmuring, "I thought I could see all under heaven reunite under Great Wei before I die. It seems I was thinking too much..."

No!

You are not thinking too much, you truly dare to dream big!

The Great Master secretly shook his head, almost unable to restrain himself from quoting the classics to teach Emperor Wei a lesson.

Liu Gao, standing behind, pretended not to hear the conversation between the two and secretly used a great technique to make him amnesiac.

If such words were spread, he would probably lose his head the next day.

Another silence followed.

Emperor Wei asked again, "Does the Great Master know where Baron Yingwu’s sword went just now?" freeweɓnovel.cøm

The Great Master, having calmed his mind, replied, "Wuliang Mountain."

"Why so? Because Wuliang Mountain is the premier Taoist destination?"

"No, it must be because Lou Yuhuang of Wuliang Mountain took action against Chen Yi earlier," replied the Great Master shaking his head.

Emperor Wei pondered and continued, "What is the situation at Wuliang Mountain now?"

"One sword shook the mountain, many dead and injured."

"Oh? Is Baron Yingwu really that strong now?"

"It is rare among humans," said the Great Master, "To some extent, Baron Yingwu’s Sword Dao is the best in Tianyuan Continent."

Unless several ancient creatures who have lived for eons come personally, no one could restrain him here.

Of course, the Great Master would not speak of this.

"It is the rarest among humans, very well," sighed Emperor Wei, "I just hope he will not become the next Zhou Guanwu."

The Great Master slightly frowned, thought for a moment, and felt compelled to remind again, "Your Majesty, Baron Yingwu Chen Yi is not Zhou Guanwu."

"I know, but I know more that some people do not!"

A trace of chill showed on Emperor Wei’s face.

"When I ascended the throne, I thought everything under heaven was within my sight, whether it be the Academy, the Sects, or the family clans, all were my subjects..."

"I treated them all equally, but what about them? They dared to deceive me so!"

"How hateful!"

The Great Master sighed inwardly, shaking his head, "The events of that year were not caused by one person."

He was somewhat informed about the incident involving Duke Jingye Zhou Guanwu; there were many suspicions back then and still many things unclear to this day.

Unless Zhou Guanwu came back to life, no one could clear up his matters.

"Over the years, I have ordered people to investigate secretly," said Emperor Wei with a bitter laugh, "Noble Families, Marquis, and civil servants have all been thoroughly investigated."

"Other than finding out that Zhou Tiance, that old scoundrel, was jumping around, others seem elusive, with some even disappearing without a trace."

"The former Minister of Rites, Ma Huaian who co-signed the petition died at home, three vice directors of the Night Watch Department who led the investigation, two died, and the remaining one has been insane for many years."

"And the former undersecretary of the Ministry of Personnel, Wang Hui, the Minister of Works, Zhang Shenzhi, the Family Head of Ji, Ji Yingwei..."

Emperor Wei listed over a dozen names, and finally left off with a furious remark:

"They all disappeared without a trace overnight!"

As his words fell, he looked at the Great Master with a stern expression and asked, "Tell me, is this world still mine?"

The Great Master paused for a moment, first respectfully responded with a yes.

Then, he continued, "Buddhism says, everything has its cause and effect, no debt goes unpaid, it’s just not yet the time!"

Emperor Wei’s eyes flickered, he exchanged glances with him, then looked at the silver-white sword trace in the night sky.

"Then, I shall wait!"
