I Have A Qi Fortune Altar-Chapter 743 - 462

"That’s enough!"

No matter what, he had to make a trip to Shuzhou to see for himself after his injuries had healed.

The truth.....

He didn’t want to be kept in the dark forever, as it would not only breed inner demons but could also hinder his cultivation in the future. The sooner he could clear things up, the better.

Moluo said nothing more, nodded, and then transformed into a wisp of golden light, burrowing into the Emperor Slaughter Saber.

Chen Yuan sat immobile in the courtyard of the earl’s mansion for a long time before finally turning to leave.

Thus, another seven days passed.

Chen Yuan was still earnestly recuperating from his injuries. No matter his plans and objectives, his primary task now was to heal. It wasn’t possible to travel to Shuzhou with a severely wounded body, was it?

He had to be at his peak!

More than a month had passed since his last encounter with the Qi Fortune’s favored son. He hoped to run into him once more on his way to Shuzhou, having experienced the power to move mountains and fill seas, he was now eager to possess even greater strength.

Meanwhile, the clamor in the Capital and the Jianghu continued unabated.

The commotion caused by the Taoist Divine Palace was too big to be settled in a short time.

Chen Yuan had no interest in these matters. His days revolved around a monotonous routine, and Sima Ke, Yang Guifei, and the other princes were now behaving themselves.

They dared not do anything to cross Jingtai at this critical juncture.

But destiny did not cater to one’s wishes. Chen Yuan wanted to continue his cultivation until he was fully healed without seeing anyone, but others were not inclined to act according to his wishes.

It was noon on this particular day.

When Chen Yuan was taking a break in the courtyard, sipping on Spiritual Tea, his injuries had already healed by eighty percent. A little more time, and he would be fully recovered.

So he thought to have a short rest.

But during this short respite, Zhang Yantong sent someone to deliver a message, stating that the Great Governor wanted to see him!

The Great Governor, Gu Tianqiong!!!

Upon hearing this news, Chen Yuan instinctively startled, wondering if he had been noticed by someone. However, after consulting Senior Moluo, he confirmed that no one was aware of him.

Visiting Gu Tianqiong posed no problem, and there was no risk of discovery.

This reassured Chen Yuan somewhat, yet he could not help but remain slightly anxious.

Nonetheless, worry as he might, he still had to meet the Great Governor. Avoiding such a summons would only breed more suspicion.

So, after tidying up in his residence and donning the standard Black Cloud Clothing, Chen Yuan headed straight for the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.

He did not immediately go to see the Great Governor Gu Tianqiong but went to meet Zhang Yantong first.

The moment Zhang Yantong saw him, he clapped him on the shoulder, informing him that he was the one who had recommended him for this summons and hoped that Chen Yuan could make himself known in front of the Great Governor.

Looking at the earnest face of Zhang Yantong, Chen Yuan really wanted to say:

"Uncle, I truly thank you!!!"

Following Zhang Yantong’s lead, Chen Yuan made his way directly to the Heavenly Patrol Hall. As they walked, Zhang Yantong sighed and said that during the previous commotion in the Imperial City with the Asura Demon Lord, he had been close to falling.

Had it not been for his quick evasion, he might never have seen him again.

Chen Yuan swiftly offered several words of flattery.

What he was truly thinking, however, remained a mystery.

Gu Tianqiong was busy. Since he had come out of seclusion, there were plenty of matters waiting for his attention, and he also had to hold a central position to prevent Demon Dao rebels from seizing the opportunity to assert themselves.

Besides these issues, he still had to talk to Jingtai about certain matters, such as... why the Imperial Supervision Bureau had taken away half of the powers of the Imperial City Department.

Jingtai found this quite troublesome and offered him several placating words.

Cao Zhengxian, who had previously been quite arrogant, was all smiles and subservience in front of Gu Tianqiong, devoid of any airs of superiority. After all, in terms of strength,

Gu Tianqiong probably needed only a third of his power to easily crush him.

In terms of experience, he had served several dynasties, and so had Gu Tianqiong.

He had significantly contributed to the establishment of Great Jin in its early days.

And he was one of the Grand Ancestor’s capable generals back then.

That’s how he later took charge of a sector of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.

In every aspect, he was inferior to Gu Tianqiong, so naturally, he had no right to act pompous. He kept a very low profile, and Gu Tianqiong did not target him. At least anyone with a brain could see,

that the establishment of the Imperial Supervision Bureau and its annexation of the powers of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau were incited by Jingtai behind the scenes.

All these various issues tied up Gu Tianqiong’s hands. Had it not been for Zhang Yantong’s recommendation that there was a once-in-a-century genius within the Heavenly Patrol Bureau,

it would have been nearly impossible for Chen Yuan to meet the Great Governor privately.

Perhaps perceiving Chen Yuan’s distracted state, Zhang Yantong thought he was apprehensive about meeting the Great Governor and quickly reassured him:

"You needn’t worry, the Great Governor has always been fond of talents. If you catch his eye, your future will be boundless."

His words weren’t hollow but sincerely meant.

The Great Governor was not someone just anyone could meet. It was indeed Gu Tianqiong’s interest in Chen Yuan’s deeds that prompted him to make time for this meeting.

Whether it was Chen Yuan’s position as number one on the Hidden Dragon List or his recent merit in crushing Japan’s Sumeru Illusion Realm for the empire, both were sufficient to prove that Chen Yuan was an interesting person.

"Thank you, Uncle, for the recommendation."

Chen Yuan said with a forced smile.

If possible, he genuinely did not want to meet the Great Governor of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau at this critical moment, especially someone he had had a close encounter with before.

The other’s strength was not to be underestimated, as he was a person ranked in the top ten of the Supreme List.

When Senior Moluo had repelled him before, it was at a great cost.

Soon, the two arrived at the Heavenly Patrol Hall. After being reported and granted permission, Chen Yuan was allowed to meet the Great Governor Gu Tianqiong and entered the hall for the second time.

Chen Yuan maintained his composure while following Zhang Yantong inside.

With just one glance, he saw the majestic Gu Tianqiong at the head, seemingly busy with some documents, but he slowly set them down as they entered.

Instantly, an overwhelming pressure surged towards Chen Yuan.

Under this force, Chen Yuan gathered his Qi, steadied his body, and bowed with a clasped fist:

"I am Chen Yuan, Commander of the Eastern Imperial City Bureau. I am honored to meet the Great Governor!"

"You are Chen Yuan?"

Gu Tianqiong stared at him and said in a deep voice.
