"Damn it, truly a reckless audacity!"
In the grand hall.
Chen Xuan shrugged, "Seems like Iâve caused a major problem this time."
"Hehehe!"
Then he chuckled softly.
Even knowing it belonged to Your Highness wouldnât make him hesitate.
Why couldnât he take it?
Besides, it was Hidden Kill who did this; the person was killed by Hong Zhisha, not his business.
"Oh, looks like Hidden Kill is taking the blame again!"
But soon, the smile on his face gradually vanished.
Initially planning to gather those ten-thousand-year-old herbs in the coming days, but now... better wait a bit.
...
Imperial Capital Princeâs Mansion.
Pang Zhuo was in the side hall at this moment. With such an incident, he had to come.
In the secret chamber, Qin Tiandao was awakened by Mr. Wuâs Spiritual Power.
"What happened?"
"The herb garden at Celestial Thunder Mansion was robbed!"
In an instant, Qin Tiandao vanished from the secret chamber and appeared in the grand hall.
"Whatâs going on? Didnât the Pang Family arrange lots of experts?"
A flicker of anger appeared in Qin Tiandaoâs eyes.
"The array was destroyed, the Pang Familyâs people were all killed!"
Mr. Wuâs voice was as steady as usual, showing little emotion.
"Pang Zhuo is in the side hall!"
"Hmm!"
Qin Tiandao nodded slightly, then headed to the side hall.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
Pang Zhuo stood up instantly upon seeing Qin Tiandao and made a slight bow.
Qin Tiandao sat down slowly at the top before speaking, "Exactly what happened?"
His tone contained anger.
That herb garden was well-hidden with experts guarding it for so many years, just about to yield results, and now this!
Who could accept it!
Especially those ten-thousand-year-old herbs,
which were extremely beneficial for his Body Tempering.
"Not clear yet!"
Pang Zhuo shook his head.
"Not clear?"
Qin Tiandao narrowed his eyes, and an imposing aura of authority emerged.
Immediately Pang Zhuo felt oppressed, though Qin Tiandaoâs power wasnât stronger than his, the innate Royal Familyâs dignity was unmatched.
"Truly unclear, but the Three Judicial Departments are investigating it."
Pang Zhuo replied solemnly.
"Hmph!"
Qin Tiandao snorted coldly, "Anyone suspected? Has your Pang Family had grudges with anyone lately?"
This kind of thing couldnât just happen without reason.
"This..."
Pang Zhuo hesitated immediately.
"What? Are there things you want to hide from me?"
Qin Tiandaoâs voice turned icy.
"No, itâs just a private matter for my Pang Family!"
Pang Zhuo quickly responded, then continued, "It was some days ago that the Pang Family at Molan Mansion broke through, leading to a conflict with that Prince Xuan."
"Afterward... several of Pang Familyâs businesses were robbed."
"But thereâs no evidence."
"However, Prince Xuanâs strength is only comparable to Dao Realm Sixfold, shouldnât possess such power!"
"So I suspect it probably wasnât him, right?"
Pang Zhuo looked at him skeptically.
"Prince Xuan, is... the one Qin Ying favored?"
Qin Tiandao recalled a bit, seemed like he had made significant achievements at Jiuyue Mansion, and he even considered recruiting him.
But didnât succeed.
Later, he went into seclusion, so this matter was left hanging.
Unexpectedly, his strength was this potent!
Strength at Dao Realm Sixfold!
"Do you mean it might be him?"
He knew Pang Zhuo too well; despite what was said, he was actually suspecting him.
"This still needs to wait for the Three Judicial Departmentsâ investigation."
Didnât give a direct answer, rather pushed the matter back to the Departments.
"Got it, you may leave now!"
Qin Tiandao issued a directive for departure.
This matter, he needed to investigate personally, whatâs really going on?
Is it true as he said?
"Yes!"
Pang Zhuo slightly bowed, then exited the Princeâs Mansion.
After he left, Qin Tiandao returned to Mr. Wuâs place.
"Does sir think itâs him?"
Mr. Wu slowly opened his eyes, "Unclear!"
"Indeed, the Pang Family had grievances with Prince Xuan, he even reported to the Ritual Department, but there was no evidence, the matter was dropped."
"However, since then, almost daily, the Pang Familyâs properties were robbed, but this person is measured, never killed anyone, only severely injured at most."
"Whether this incident is related to him or not, really hard to say!"
Mr. Wu briefly relayed the reports he received during this time.
Finally, voiced his guess.
"Hmm!"
Qin Tiandao nodded, "Whether itâs him or not, send someone to visit!"
"Explain clearly, even if itâs him, as long as the herbs are returned, I wonât pursue."
"The grudges with the Pang Family will also be dealt with by me."
In his view, the matter between Chen Xuan and the Pang Family is trivial, his herbs are most important, which concerns whether he can temper his body to the pinnacle of Dao Realm Sixfold.
"Hmm! Thatâs good too."
...
Fourth Princeâs Mansion.
"Reporting to Fourth Prince, Your Highness dispatched someone to Molan Mansion."
A young man below whispered.
"Understood!"
"Keep a good watch, report any movement immediately."
"Go collect your reward!"
"Thank you, Fourth Prince!"
The young man quickly thanked with a smile, then made a slight bow before exiting.
"Looks like big brother is really anxious!"
Qin Hong chuckled softly.
"Itâs understandable, Your Highness has been tempering his body for years, those herbs are ten-thousand-year-old, specifically for Body Tempering, and the burial ground doesnât have many years left, of course, heâs anxious."
Wu Ma slowly spoke.
More importantly, itâs the last time, Your Highness is determined to attain the core rules.
