Chapter 243 - 243: The Human King’s Mission
Zhou Tianke fell into deep thought as he listened to Chen Yang’s analysis.
Time passed bit by bit. The entire hall was so silent that water was about to condense.
After about ten minutes, Zhou Tianke looked at Chen Yang and said,” Your analysis makes sense. However, whether the ancestor is a heretic practitioner or the ancestor is colluding with the heretic practitioner.”
If this were to be exposed, it would be a devastating blow to the reputation of Da Qian.”
“So, Chen Clan Leader, can you keep this a secret for me?”
Chen Yang cursed in his heart. Since you knew that this matter would have a huge impact on Da Qian, why did you tell me?
Although he was a little resentful in his heart, Yang Chen still said respectfully,””Don’t worry, Your Majesty. Yang will definitely keep this a secret.”
“Yes.”
Zhou Tianke nodded his head in satisfaction and smiled,””Are you thinking that this matter is so important, so why should I tell you about it?”
Hearing this, Chen Yang said respectfully,”Your Majesty has his own plans, I dare not make wild guesses.””
“You naturally don’t dare to make wild guesses, because you don’t know why I’m telling you this.”
“Borrowing your wisdom is just a pretense. I’ve lived for hundreds of years, and I also have the brains of the Great Qian Dynasty. Do 1 still need help from a young man?”
“However, 1 really didn’t expect that you would really provide me with another way of thinking. It allowed me to walk out of the misunderstanding that the ancestor was a heretic cultivator.
I have to thank you for this. Otherwise, if I acted rashly, the consequences would be unimaginable.”Zhou Tianke laughed.
Hearing Zhou Tianke’s praise, Chen Yang smiled in agreement.” Your Majesty, you flatter me. I’m just making a small fuss.””
“Whether it’s a small fight or a good plan, these are not important. Let’s talk about the real reason why 1 called you here.”
When Chen Yang heard this, he immediately sat on the side seat and waited for Zhou Tianke’s next words.
Seeing this, Zhou Tianke’s eyes revealed a trace of satisfaction. He immediately smiled and said,”The reason why I asked you to come here is to ask you to help investigate the royal family’s ancestor.”
“Among them, the spy organization that belongs to the Human King, the
Heaven Dragon Guard, will listen to your orders.”
“What?”
Yang Chen frowned. Asking him to investigate the royal family’s ancestor, wasn’t this more absurd than asking for his opinion?
Chen Yang stood up and said,”Your Majesty, I’m too inexperienced to take on such an important task.””
“If 1 say you can, then you can.”
Zhou Tianke stood up and helped Chen Yang to a side seat. Then, he patted Chen Yang’s shoulder and said,””You can bring a weak ninth-grade Chen family to your current position, which naturally proves your means and ability.”
“Believe me, I didn’t choose the wrong person. The patriarch of the investigation team is definitely you.”
“Of course, the royal family will also support you. For example, your master, the Deshun Commandery Prince, and the experts in my royal family will cooperate with you.”
Yang Chen’s eyes lit up.
My master, Deshun Prince, is what you value.
In fact, it was normal to think about it. If the royal family’s ancestor was really a heretic cultivator or was involved in the matter of heretic cultivators.
In the entire Great Qian royal family, only the Deshun Commandery Prince had the ability to exchange two moves with the ancestor.
If they managed to gather some kind of evidence, the Deshun Commandery Prince had the ability to send it out.
Since he understood Zhou Tianke’s intentions, Chen Yang did not want to beat around the bush.” Your Majesty, why didn’t you choose Ying Zhao or my senior brother?”
Zhou Tianke looked at Chen Yang meaningfully.” You’re really amazing. 1 didn’t notice and you saw through my real thoughts.””
“Alright, since that’s the case, I won’t beat around the bush. The reason I chose you is because only you can help me find the evidence.”
“This matter is extremely dangerous after all. If 1 choose Ying Zhao and the others, the Deshun Commandery Prince will definitely fall out with me because of their safety.”
“Please don’t mind me saying something unpleasant.
Although you are the disciple of the Deshun Commandery Prince, in the heart of the Deshun Commandery Prince, you cannot compare to his only son and grandson.”
“Only by choosing you will I be able to convince the Deshun Commandery Prince to help and make his rationality prevail over his emotions.”
Hearing Zhou Tianke’s words, Chen Yang could not help but sigh in his heart.
As expected of the Human King who had ruled Da Qian for 300 years. Not only did he have to look at who was suitable for the job, but he also had to take human nature into consideration.
Hearing Zhou Tianke’s words, Chen Yang felt that he was the only one in this position.
But the key is, why did I get involved in such a dangerous matter?
In other words, what benefits can you give me?
As if he could read Chen Yang’s mind, Zhou Tianke returned to the main seat and smiled,””As long as you can do this, I can make the decision to make you the first King of a different surname.”
“Of course, this is only in name. I have a reward for you.”
“I can make the decision. After you complete the task, I’ll give you 1,000 Spiritual Crystals and 1,000,000 Spiritual Stones.”
“At the same time, the royal family will also reward your Chen family with three demon beast cubs that contain the bloodline of the demon king.”
“As for spiritual herbs and spiritual weapons, we will open the treasury for you. You can choose three of them, regardless of their grade.”
“In addition, I can also make the decision to marry my most talented granddaughter to you.”
Yang Chen was tempted. This benefit could move a mighty figure to serve Da Qian.
Chen Yang immediately stood up and said,” Your Majesty, you don’t have to do this. It is my honor to serve Da Qian. How can I ask the princess to marry me?””
In other words, other than the princess, 1 want everything else.
Zhou Tianke’s eyes flashed with disappointment when he heard this. It was a pity that such a good son-in-law had flown away just like that.
“Hahaha, good! Chen Clan Leader is indeed a loyal person of Great Gan. I can rest assured that I will leave this matter to you.”
Zhou Tianke stood up and walked to Yang Chen’s side. He placed his hands on Yang Chen’s shoulders and smiled.
“Your Majesty, what do you want me to investigate?” Yang Chen asked.”
“Naturally, it’s evidence of our royal family’s ancestor colluding with the evil cultivators. It’s best to use a video stone to record the scene.”Zhou Tianke said.
Yang Chen nodded and asked,””Your Majesty, 1 have a question that I shouldn’t ask. Why do you have to find evidence that the ancestor colluded with the heretic cultivators? Isn’t this cutting off your own arm?”
When Zhou Tianke heard this, he loosened his grip on Chen Yang’s shoulder and sighed,””This is a hidden danger. If 1 don’t remove it soon, it will probably bring disaster to my Zhou Consortium.”
“Compared to my life, my arms are nothing.”
Hearing this, Chen Yang nodded and believed Zhou Tianke’s words for the time being. As for what the real reason was, only Zhou Tianke himself knew.
After finishing their business, the two of them began to chat again.
“Chen Clan Leader, according to seniority, I should be your Martial Uncle. As an uncle-master, I naturally have to give you a greeting gift.”
“Whatever you want, just tell me.”Zhou Tianke laughed.
Yang Chen thought about it and said,””Martial Uncle, I want some demonic beast blood essence.”
“It’s that simple? Whatever you say, it doesn’t matter even if it’s the blood essence of a demon king.”Zhou Tianke said generously..
