Chapter: 6643
Wu Shih-hang hastily replied, "No, no, grandfather-grandfather! I didn't believe him at first, thinking he was just talking nonsense. But then he actually gave me the elixir, and I saw my left hand grow back before my eyes - it only took about 5 minutes...'"
"'Oh...' Wu Tianlin gasped in shock, his expression stern as he demanded, "Shih-hang, is this true? This person showed up at your door, didn't kill you, and just gave you Re-creation Dan for no reason? I'm starting to feel like this is all too weird... This person's behavior is unlike anything we've ever seen before - not only does he take brutal action, but he also has a twisted sense of humor. He knows you're the Right Military Governor's right-hand man and didn't even kill you, instead giving you Re-creation Dan. What kind of crazy person is this?""
Wu Shih-hang cried out, "Grandfather-grandfather, you don't know... This scoundrel gave me Re-creation Dan and let my left hand grow back, but then he cut off my right hand with spiritual energy - it was already broken by the time I saw it..."
"'What are you saying?!' Wu Tianlin felt a chill run down his spine as he exclaimed, "This person gave you the elixir, made your left hand grow back, and then chopped off your right hand! And now you're only left with one hand, but instead of having just a right hand, it's become a left hand?!""
"It is, grandfather-grandfather..." Wu Shih-hang cried out, "You're saying this person is a demon?! Wasting a pill worth millions of dollars to torment and humiliate me...?"
Wu Tianlin broke out in cold sweat as he muttered, "This isn't about humiliating you. This is about humiliating the emperor! He used an elixir that even the emperor can't find to cure your left hand, and then chopped off your right hand - it's a clear attempt to insult the emperor! And he did all this using your newly grown left hand to do it! What kind of crazy person would waste such a valuable pill just to humiliate someone? It's like spending $1 billion just to slap someone in the face..."
Wu Shih-hang sobbed, "Grandfather-grandfather, my child doesn't know how to report this to the emperor, just like you said. This person's actions are meant to humiliate the emperor, and the emperor will probably get angry with me again...?"
Wu Tianlin sighed, "Hmm... I can't guess what kind of situation this is, but it's impossible to hide from the emperor. Even if you're just a middle-ranking official in the Right Military Governor's office, it's unlikely that you'll meet the emperor often in the future. But since you're the Governor-General, you'll definitely have to personally receive him next year when he visits your region, so there's no way to hide anything."
He then asked, "By the way, did you get a good look at his appearance?"
"No...," Wu Shih-hang replied, "The person was wearing a mask, only revealing their eyes. I couldn't tell what they looked like, but from their voice, it seems they're probably around 30 years old."
"Are they that young?" Wu Tianlin wondered, "At 30 years old, how can they have such powerful cultivation and possess an elixir like Re-creation Dan...?"
Wu Shih-hang thought for a moment before saying, "It's definitely seemed younger, but I'm not sure about their actual age."
Wu Tianlin asked again, "Did that person say anything of value to you?"
After some thought, Wu Shih-hang replied, "Yes, this person knows the emperor's name and is asking me to pass a message along to the emperor."
Wu Tianlin immediately followed up with another question: "What message are they asking you to convey?"
Wu Shih-hang grew anxious, "Grandfather-grandfather, that message is too outrageous to be told..."
Wu Tianlin scolded, "You rascal! If you don't say such a crucial thing, how can the emperor know what's going on?! Tell me fast!"
Wu Shih-hang could only grit his teeth and say, "He... he asked Son to convey this to the emperor, saying... saying that he will personally kill the emperor at dawn again..."
Wu Tianlin urged anxiously, "What else? Say it quickly!"
Wu Shih-hang spoke in a low voice, "He said he wants to set up a one-to-one bronze statue of the emperor and make him kneel before Lin Zhouruo's tomb to atone for his sins..."
"Lin Zhouruo?" Wu Tianlin felt his brain spinning as if it was about to take off. He exclaimed, "How would he know about Lin Zhouruo?! Except for the emperor and members of the Wu family, who else in this world knows about Lin Zhouruo's existence?!"
Wu Shih-hang reminded him hastily, "Your Majesty might have forgotten that the emperor has been searching for someone named Lin Wan'er... This guy might be one of Lin Wan'er's people!"
Wu Tianlin exclaimed, "Lin Wan'er is powerless without the elixir given to her by Lin Zhouruo. She has been exhausted from all these years and can't cultivate such a high-level skill!"
He has been by the Crown Prince's side for nearly a hundred years, knowing the most about the Crown Prince's matters and understanding that the Crown Prince has been searching for Lin Wan'er for over three hundred years. He also knows that Lin Wan'er fundamentally has no cultivation skills except for the 500-year Yangshou given to her, and the remaining advantages are probably only this one cleverness.
However, today's content said by Wu Shih-hang overturned his understanding of Lin Wan'er that had lasted for so many years. JrNovels.com
