Chapter 758: Chapter 433: National Preceptor Takes Action!_2

The National Preceptor spoke slowly, his gaze falling on Wood Shadow, which brought her immense pressure.

"I have already sought out Prince Xuan, hoping he could come forward to clarify the matter, but...he seems to have disappeared, not in the Imperial City, nor in the rMolan Mansion."

Wood Shadow felt quite irritated at heart.

Originally, she thought of lowering her head, letting Chen Xuan come out to clarify, treating it as a misunderstanding, and compensating him later.

But the person disappeared.

His Chief Steward said they left the Imperial City a long time ago, but when she sent people to Moran City afterward, they found he hadn’t returned.

Now, in this situation, the Ritual Department has submitted a document to Emperor Yu.

This is also why Emperor Yu is dissatisfied with the Shadow Guard.

With things reaching this point, Emperor Yu, who initially didn’t want to intervene, has no choice but to step in.

Otherwise, it would damage the Royal Family’s prestige.

The ordinary people in the Imperial City would also question Great Yu.

"Now it’s impossible to contain the news even if we wanted to."

The National Preceptor also felt a headache at this moment, as it was Liu Sheng who was fanning the flames behind all this.

"It seems I must make a trip."

He sighed softly in his heart.

In this situation, only by stepping forward himself, asking Liu Sheng to show some face for his old reputation, and paying some price, could this matter end here.

Then he slowly stood up, "Come with me to the Ritual Department."

"Yes!"

Wood Shadow was slightly taken aback, but she nodded nonetheless.

Going to the Ritual Department is tantamount to the Shadow Guard conceding, which she is unwilling to do, but given the current situation... there’s no choice but to concede.

The Ritual Department did nothing wrong.

Emperor Yu has no choice but to handle this.

Only the reconciliation between the Shadow Guard and the Ritual Department can quell this incident, which is what Emperor Yu desires most.

Both sides are extremely important to Great Yu, being equally close to him, he cannot afford to be biased toward either side.

....

"We’ve arrived at the Ritual Department."

A voice came from outside the carriage.

"Hmm!"

The National Preceptor responded with a slight hum, then slowly got off the carriage and looked up at the sign with the three words of the Ritual Department.

"It’s been a millennium since I’ve been here, hasn’t it?"

A faint smile appeared on his face.

If not for this trouble caused by Wood Shadow, he might never have come here in his lifetime.

At this moment, Wood Shadow also got down from another carriage and came to his side.

"Go ahead!"

Upon hearing this, Wood Shadow stepped forward and looked at the guard at the door, "Inform Chief Eunuch Liu that the National Preceptor is here."

"What? The National Preceptor!"

The guard exclaimed in surprise, his face suddenly changing.

Originally, he thought it was Wood Shadow wanting to see Chief Eunuch Liu, as for this old man, he thought he was one of the Shadow Guards.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the National Preceptor of Great Yu.

"Wait a moment, I will report immediately!"

Within the Ritual Department, Liu Sheng, who was practicing calligraphy in the study, suddenly paused his brush.

"Hehe!"

He chuckled lightly, then continued writing again.

In that instant, he sensed a familiar aura and, after a slight feeling, knew the situation at the entrance of the Ritual Department.

He didn’t expect the National Preceptor to personally come to the Ritual Department.

However, he did not move, waiting for the guard to report to him.

Moments later, hurried and chaotic footsteps reached the study, "Reporting to the Chief Eunuch, the National Preceptor is here."

The tone was quite frantic.

Upon the guard’s entry into the study, Liu Sheng continued to write calmly.

"Good!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

He shouted loudly, finishing the final stroke, and only then did he put down the brush, his face full of smiles, with even the wrinkles deepening considerably.

"My handwriting is getting better and better."

"Hahaha..."

After a hearty laugh, seemingly noticing the guard, he then asked, "What did you say?"

"Uh—"

At this question, the guard was immediately stunned, but he quickly recovered, "The National Preceptor is here!"

After speaking, he looked puzzled at Liu Sheng.

"What’s going on?"

"Did he really not hear his own words or...?"

A guard of the Ritual Department certainly isn’t a fool, and he had heard some rumors these days as well.

This came from within the Ritual Department, not from the outside rumors.

Though he had some guesses in his mind, he dared not voice them.

He could only sigh inwardly.

The Chief Eunuch... is truly proud this time.

"Oh?"

Liu Sheng looked quite surprised, "The National Preceptor actually came to the Ritual Department, truly a rare guest, I must quickly go welcome him."

Though his words were urgent, his movements showed no urgency at all.

He even carefully tidied his written characters before slowly walking out of the study.

At the entrance of the Ritual Department.

Wood Shadow’s brow furrowed, as quite some time had passed; did it really take this long just to report?

"Hmph!"

Unable to hold it, she snorted coldly in public, her face instantly turning icy.

Just as she was about to speak harshly, Liu Sheng’s voice finally came through.

"What wind is this today, bringing the National Preceptor here, such a rare visitor, my Ritual Department is indeed honored."

As his last word fell, Liu Sheng appeared in front of everyone.

The National Preceptor, with a faint smile, slowly walked over, "It’s been so many years, if I don’t come once, I might not have the chance."

"The National Preceptor jests."

Liu Sheng raised an eyebrow, feeling something off about these words.

"Please!"

"Hmm!"

The two walked side by side into the Ritual Department, and although Wood Shadow was discontent at heart, she still followed quickly.

Arriving in the grand hall.

Liu Sheng sat at the top, the National Preceptor on the left, while Wood Shadow...stood.

Maidens soon came in with two cups of tea, putting them down before quickly leaving the hall.

"National Preceptor, please!"

Liu Sheng extended a hand, then himself picked up the teacup and took a heavy sip.
