Chapter 848: Chapter 497: Overbearing!

“That would be equivalent to blatant partitioning, and the court will certainly not tolerate it.”

“So I think what the Princely Heir did before can be put aside, now that Chen Yuan has arrived, he must have brought the Emperor’s intentions,

if things get too ugly, the court will definitely take action, and the Prince’s side might also reprimand the Princely Heir.”

Wei Wuque smiled:

“I understand everything Uncle Hong said, forget it… let’s go with the flow. Since Chen Yuan has come to Liangzhou, I, the Princely Heir, have to give him some face.”

While the two were conversing, a man wrapped in a black robe flashed several times before appearing in front of Wei Wuque, kneeling on one knee to greet in a low voice:

“Your subordinate greets the Princely Heir.”

Wei Wuque scrutinized him:

“What happened?”

“Reporting to the Princely Heir, the Heavenly Patrol Bureau sent a message that Demon Sword Chen Yuan has arrived,” the man in black said softly.

Wei Wuque raised his eyebrows, but wasn’t too surprised, given the other’s speed, arriving here now wasn’t particularly fast. He merely chuckled, turning to Uncle Hong:

“Now there’s a good show to watch.”

“Yes, with Chen Yuan’s methods, it probably won’t take long to completely control the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.”

“No, I, the Princely Heir, think that today… will likely be the time for a power shift in the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.”

“Does the Princely Heir hold such a high opinion of this person? But I, as an old man, think that even if he’s strong, he probably can’t quickly resolve Huangfu Qi and Feng Jiuying, right? After all, private fighting is not allowed within the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.”

“That’s for others. Chen Yuan is not an ordinary person; he dares to do what others don’t, and can accomplish what others can’t.” Wei Wuque’s gaze was deep, recalling what happened earlier in Martial Emperor City.

He knew that the Gu Family’s Yang Transformation was watching on the side, but Chen Yuan openly blasted Gu He to death right under the nose of that True Master of Yang Transformation, something an ordinary person could not achieve.

Importantly, at that time, Chen Yuan seemed to have nothing to rely on but still had such courage, which truly surprised him.

“Haha… then let’s quietly wait for the news.”

In front of the Heavenly Patrol Hall.

Chen Yuan crossed the barrier of a hundred people and came directly to the front of the hall. Without any hesitation, he stepped inside, and as soon as he moved, everyone’s gaze in the hall gathered on him.

To others, this might be considerable pressure, but to Chen Yuan, it was nothing special.

Huangfu Qi scrutinized the calm young man before him, his gaze becoming increasingly serious, as thoughts quickly flashed through his mind based on the intelligence summaries he had heard about this person.

He knew he wasn’t someone easy to provoke, and now seeing him, it seemed indeed to be true.

Just this demeanor was much stronger than Feng Jiuying before.

A formidable opponent!

Huangfu Qi thought to himself.

While Huangfu Qi and Feng Jiuying were assessing Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan’s gaze also swept over them. One had graying hair and beard, appearing aged, and wielding Double Whips.

The other had a pale face and short beard, neatly presented, matching the information he had previously gathered.

Golden Envoy, Huangfu Qi!

Golden Envoy, Feng Jiuying!

As for the few Core Realm Vice Envoys on the side, Chen Yuan directly ignored them. After scanning Huangfu Qi and Feng Jiuying on the left and right, Chen Yuan broke the silence and walked step by step toward the front.

The corner of Huangfu Qi’s mouth twitched slightly, thinking Chen Yuan was coming forward to pay respects, he couldn’t help but think this person still understood the rules and knew about his lack of qualifications.

If that’s the case and he is sensible, there would be no need to make things difficult. Following what Feng Jiuying suggested, they could give him some power and govern the Heavenly Patrol Bureau of Liangzhou together.

Even partnering with him to deal with Feng Jiuying, utilizing Chen Yuan to overthrow Feng Jiuying, so that when this kid returns to the Capital with added prestige,

wouldn’t the power of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau be back in his hands?

Wonderful! Wonderful!

Feng Jiuying also smiled, letting out a sigh of relief, feeling that Chen Yuan was sensible and not overbearing as the rumors suggested.

In this way, his idea seemed feasible as well.

Like Huangfu Qi’s plan, Feng Jiuying also intended to partner with Chen Yuan to overthrow Huangfu Qi and then become a true high-ranking official when Chen Yuan leaves Liangzhou.

Moreover, unlike Huangfu Qi who had no preparations, he had been ready in advance.

He heard from colleagues and rumors in the Capital that Chen Yuan had unusual preferences, especially an affinity for married women, which suited Feng Jiuying well since he shared the same interest.

A fondness for married women!

He had no interest in those young, innocent girls, and he kept several women at his mansion, one of whom he particularly liked and had now taken as a concubine.

If he became an ally with Chen Yuan, wouldn’t their relationship advance rapidly?

Compared to the Beiliang Royal Mansion, he would rather believe in himself.

Thinking of this, when Chen Yuan was less than a zhang away, Feng Jiuying gave face, stood up with a cupped-fist smile, and said:

“The fame of Demon Sword Chen Yuan has long been known to this envoy. Today, meeting you indeed proves the rumors true, and even more so, your grace surpasses them.”

Seeing Feng Jiuying taking the initiative to show goodwill, Huangfu Qi hesitated for a moment and then also stood up:

“I, too, have long heard of Chen Yuan’s name. Hearing that Chen Yuan was coming to work together, I was overjoyed and now we finally meet.”

The two stood up one after the other, and the few Vice Envoys beside them naturally didn’t dare to slack off, quickly stood up and greeted with cupped-fists:

“We greet Envoy Chen!”

“We’ve long heard of Envoy Chen’s great name.”

Here, they still addressed him by his official position, and calling him ‘Envoy Qing Chen’ would have been inappropriate.

Facing these greetings, Chen Yuan ignored them all, crossing them expressionlessly and walking directly to the main seat above.

Then, under the somewhat incredulous gazes of several people, he sat directly, overlooking everyone in front of him.
