Chapter 985: Chapter 985

To be honest, Yu Ziqing didn't come this time to stir things up.

He just couldn't immediately ask about the long-missing Chu Ye, as Song didn't have that intelligence.

When the Emperor Qian wasn't in seclusion, Song at most did a small favor for Cheng Jing by providing a bit of intelligence.

Privately placing personnel or secretly probing into information within the Langya Institute, Song definitely wouldn't have done that.

Let alone obtaining detailed information about a current dean.

Talking with the Dragon Tiger Daoist, he could only casually chat about some important matters. Seeing the Dragon Tiger Daoist's reaction being even greater than expected, he quickly changed the subject, bringing up Chu Ye.

Chu Ye obviously hadn't given up on finding out the truth about past events, and most likely, someone was watching him.

If you genuinely want to find out something but can't, and can't confirm it, trailing behind Chu Ye and letting him do it is clearly the best strategy.

Just like when Yu Ziqing couldn't find something out, he would stir things up and let the Crown Prince investigate himself.

If he pursues the investigation, it means he really doesn't know, and during this process, something might inadvertently be revealed, which serves as a guide.

If he knows and either doesn't pursue or pretends to pursue the investigation without revealing any valuable clues, Yu Ziqing can confirm something as well.

This logic applies to Chu Ye as well.

All these years spent in seclusion, he probably sensed something early on.

Here, Yu Ziqing seemed to change the subject for others, shifting it directly. The Dragon Tiger Daoist suppressed his inner emotions.

"Chu Ye, huh, he's been in seclusion all this time, seems to have reached a critical moment, better not disturb him.

Last time, Dean Cheng had something urgent, so he had to visit, and he waited over a month, only to have a brief chat."

"Since he's in seclusion, let it be. Maybe in a few days, or ask another elder for advice."

The Dragon Tiger Daoist didn't ask what the advice was for, thanks to the prior discussion about Dragon Talismans.

When Yu Ziqing inquires about matters, he directly seeks out the experts in that field, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Outsiders think the deans of Langya Institute are knowledgeable, as if they understand everything.

In reality, everyone inside knows that each has their strengths and specializations.

It's common for deans to consult each other as well.

Just Dragon Talisman, if Yu Ziqing asked another dean, most likely wouldn't see the connection to Kun You.

The Dragon Tiger Daoist, uneasy at heart, also didn't have the mind to probe further.

He naturally knew the intricacies behind the Dragon Talisman weren't so simple. Some matters he wasn't sure about, so he couldn't speak openly.

"If there are results, you will be contacted then. Thanks a lot for this time, this matter is of great importance to the Langya Institute."

The Dragon Tiger Daoist left a sentence and hurried away.

Yu Ziqing naturally noticed that the Dragon Tiger Daoist knew some things but didn't say them openly.

His mindset was already apparent on the surface for outsiders to see; what he knew was probably more than expected.

Knowing more is better, saving trouble.

Yu Ziqing hadn't thought through many secrets on how to explain them yet.

On the other side, the New No.5 in the new base placed the Jade Scroll on the deepest sacrificial altar, took a deep breath, and began the ritual.

Since taking charge of the organization, this was the first time he actively contacted the Wig White Water Egg. Official source ıs 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩

And Wig White Water Egg had not initiated contact with him either.

Now, having spent time fully mastering the White Water Egg organization and preparing sufficiently, he dared to undertake this task.

The ritual began, and everything around began to transform.

He stood beneath the altar, and the Jade Scroll atop the altar dissipated, leaving only a back-paint suspended there.

On the Void Cliff, the Divine King sensed the contact and slowly turned towards the direction of the contact.

It wasn't that he never contacted his subordinates.

But because his former guise had been thoroughly exposed, he absolutely had none of those memories.

Now sensing the contact, and realizing it was a sacrificial contact, in an instant, he understood many things.

"Your subordinate pays respects, my lord." The New No.5, after years undercover, showed a genuine respect without the slightest flaw.

Because he truly was respectful, no one could see even a hint of a problem from such an angle.

The Divine King said nothing, only his gaze swept over.

The New No.5 felt pressure, his body instantly stiffened, becoming even more respectful.

"Forgive me, my lord, these past years, the organization has been in utter chaos.

No.1 went mad, his mind turned extreme; No.2 betrayed, not heeding summons, in addition to the great personnel losses.

The new base of the organization suffered a second fatal blow.

Subordinates had no choice but to rectify the chaos, relocate the base, and only today have things reorganized.

Due to the two previous exposures of the base, the reserved bases had to be abandoned."

"Only today, with everything secure, and personnel stable, does this subordinate dare disturb my lord."

The New No.5 remembered Yu Ziqing's instructions, every word true, without daring to use any embellishments from the Spring and Autumn Annals.

The Divine King glanced at New No.5, comprehending much.

He indeed didn't care about the organization's power struggles, nor the life or death of anyone, as long as they could serve him now that things were stabilized.

Because he truly didn't remember those things.

"Everything shall continue as usual for now."

For the first time, the Divine King spoke, and New No.5 immediately realized this was not the original one.

From the voice to the tone, and even the emotions it revealed, were all distinctly different.

Aged, yet with a kind of detached observation, viewing all with indifference yet having control over everything, ultimately maintaining an unwavering calm.
