Yun He was montarily stunned, then reacted with a bitter smile, "Mr. Chen misunderstood, I have no relationship with Ye Zi’e. It’s just that she’s not in the Capital City, and all the Tusi affairs have fallen on my shoulders. I’ve been on duty in the pavilion for a month now..."
"I don’t know what kind of trouble she caused to make the Empress so angry."
"Why don’t you say sothing to the Empress and have Households Commander Ye transferred back? Even an iron man can’t hold out like this!"
Looking at Yun He’s face filled with resentnt, Chen Mo’s lips twitched, and he said, "Don’t worry, Mr. Yun, I’ve noted this matter. I’ll make a suggestion to the Empress next ti I enter the palace."
"Thank you, Mr. Chen. I’ll treat you to a drink soday."
Yun He gratefully cupped his hands in thanks, then turned and left the courtroom.
Chen Mo sat in the chair, quietly contemplating. The matter concerning the Gu God Sect does indeed need to be ntioned to the Empress in advance.
However, with the cat around, there’s no need to make an extra trip to the palace.
"Co here, cat!"
"ow~"
The cat had returned with him this morning.
It stayed up all night at the Yangxin Palace, and was now lying in the cage, dozing off.
Upon hearing Chen Mo’s voice, it tried hard to lift its drooping head and responded drowsily, then stretched its paw to open the cage door and lightly jumped onto the table.
"Empress, I have an important matter to report." Chen Mo stared at it and spoke.
"ow?" The cat looked puzzled.
?
Chen Mo furrowed his brows.
Could it be that the Empress has withdrawn her Divine Sense?
To verify this, he glanced at Li Yuan, who was organizing docunts nearby, and raised his hand to give a slap.
Slap—
The Martial Robe sank deeply, jiggling softly like jelly.
"There are still people outside..."
Li Yuan’s cheeks reddened, biting her lip in reproach.
Chen Mo observed the cat’s reaction carefully, reasoning that the Empress, upon sensing such an event, would likely respond imdiately...
But the cat tilted its head in thought for a mont, then slowly turned around and raised its rear.
"ow..."
"...."
Seeing this, Chen Mo confird that Hake Han was temporarily out of contact.
It likely has sothing to do with what transpired last night...
"Sir."
At this mont, Li Yuan hesitated, then asked, "What exactly happened when the Princess summoned you to the palace last night?"
Chen Mo replied, "Nothing really, just drinking and chatting."
Li Yuan was skeptical, "Is it really that simple?"
"What else?" Chen Mo shook his head, "You don’t really think I went there to serve her, do you?"
"Who knows," Li Yuan muttered quietly, "After all, the Princess is noble and beautiful. It’s natural for you to feel tempted if she offers an olive branch... If you beco the Prince Consort soday, rember to support your subordinates more."
Seeing her resentful look, Chen Mo couldn’t help but be amused.
When did this tigress learn to be sarcastic too?
Given that the Empress wasn’t around, he wasn’t too concerned, so he released two strands of True Yuan, and the doors shut tightly.
Then he pulled Li Yuan over, pressing her down on the courtroom table.
"Hm?"
She hadn’t reacted yet, then heard a ripping sound.
"If you like talking nonsense, it seems I need to shut your mouth..."
"Sir, don’t..."
....
....
East Suburb, Demon Suppression Departnt.
In the Quiet Room, Ling Ningzhi sat cross-legged on a mat, heart upward, eyes slightly closed, pure white light resembling clouds and mist enveloped her, emanating an ethereal aura.
After a long ti, she opened her eyes, with a glint in her vision.
Her expression was puzzled.
"I thought being with Mr. Chen would affect my cultivation, but it turned out to be steadily improving. Especially during this recent period, half a day’s ditation is equivalent to half a month’s hard training from before..."
"It’s literally like receiving the favor of the Great Dao."
Ling Ningzhi couldn’t figure it out.
But one thing is certain; this change is evidently brought about by Chen Mo...
Could it be that Dual Cultivation can enhance enlightennt?
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but envision that handso face.
Since she engaged in "role-playing" with Shen Zhixia, she hadn’t seen Chen Mo for days, mainly because she felt sowhat embarrassed...
"Now that Zhixia has returned to the sect, there’s no excuse to visit him at Chen Mansion."
"This man truly never takes the initiative to find ... But he’s been very busy lately, can’t bla him entirely..."
Ling Ningzhi murmured softly, habitually comforting herself.
Yet sohow, her mood was still a bit low.
At that mont, she suddenly heard a commotion from outside, and after sensing carefully, she was taken aback.
"This is..."
....
....
Front yard of the Demon Suppression Departnt.
As soon as Chen Mo walked through the door, he was surrounded by a group of Green Robed Tributors, and more kept gathering.
"Mr. Chen, you’re finally here! I miss you so much!"
"Master Chen, after your guidance last ti, I’ve ascended to Fourth Grade Alchemy. This Rejuvenation Pill took twenty days to refine, please take a look!"
"I’ve been stuck at the Fifth Grade for three years now, making subpar Spirit Pills for three full years, expending countless Spiritual Materials, draining my pockets, exhausting my family... Mr. Chen, please show the way!"
"...."
Looking at their eager expressions, Chen Mo’s head began to throb.
Every ti he ca to the Demon Suppression Departnt, he had to face such a scene... Co on, I’m really not the Dan God!
But recalling when Qu Sifan and Li Siya sent him a very generous "apprenticeship gift," including thousands of Spirit Pills and hundreds of high-grade Talismans... He used these items to arm the Fire Departnt Constables to the teeth, significantly boosting their combat power.
Thus, when confronting the Prince Mansion elite, it was a complete rout, utterly one-sided!
