Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister-Chapter 759 - 433: National Preceptor Takes Action!_3

Chapter 759: Chapter 433: National Preceptor Takes Action!_3

The feeling of comfort reached its peak at this moment.

The National Preceptor glanced at him, shook his head with a slight smile, then sipped from a purplish-brown teacup.

"The tea is excellent; you should feel comfortable after drinking it as well."

The National Preceptor put down the teacup and spoke slowly.

"Let this matter end here."

"If it continues, Your Majesty will be displeased."

However... Liu Sheng did not respond, only lightly placing down his teacup, then looked at the National Preceptor.

The two locked eyes.

Liu Sheng sneered inwardly; just saying ’let it end here’ is enough?

Not so easy!

Back then, the Ritual Department was ridiculed by those people; taking advantage of Chen Xuan’s incident this time, he wanted to vent his anger, slap the face of the Shadow Guard, and regain the lost dignity of the Ritual Department.

For this, even if Emperor Yu is displeased, he will not back down.

He is old, and his path in Martial Dao is like this, so he has no other desires; only this matter has been a thorn in his heart.

It is also the humiliation of the Ritual Department.

So no matter who it is, even if Emperor Yu speaks, it’s not okay.

"Alas!"

The National Preceptor sighed deeply, then looked at Wood Shadow, "Apologize to Chief Eunuch Liu."

Seeing the situation, without giving him an explanation, this matter will not be easily resolved.

However... if it continues like this, it would be greatly disadvantageous to the Shadow Guard.

So the matter must be resolved quickly.

"National Preceptor!"

Wood Shadow gasped, unable to believe what she heard, being made to apologize.

"Apologize!"

The National Preceptor’s aged eyes suddenly widened, and he spoke the word in a commanding tone.

"This—"

Wood Shadow trembled slightly, even though she was unwilling in her heart, even humiliated, but she knew that the National Preceptor’s orders could not be disobeyed.

Closing her eyes, after a moment she slowly opened them.

Bowing to Liu Sheng, after straightening up, "The matter of the past was Wood Shadow’s fault, I ask Chief Eunuch Liu to forgive Wood Shadow!"

As the head of the Shadow Guard, having never bowed her head, this time she finally lowered her proud head, simultaneously laying down the pride in her heart with humiliation.

At this moment she felt her whole body burning, wanting to find a crack to drill into.

"You may leave now."

The National Preceptor’s words were a relief to her, but this humiliation was such that she even forgot her manners, directly leaving the main hall.

"How is it?"

The National Preceptor looked at Liu Sheng and asked.

"Not enough!"

Liu Sheng shook his head, an apology from Wood Shadow alone was far from enough.

Where’s the face of the Ritual Department?

That was what he cared about; the Ritual Department was his life’s work, nothing was more important than it.

The ridicule the Ritual Department suffered back then was etched in his mind.

If he wants him to stop, this thing must be resolved.

Otherwise... forget it!

"You... alas!"

The National Preceptor was quite helpless; he originally thought that with his intervention and Wood Shadow’s personal apology, this matter could be settled.

It now seems he underestimated the position of the Ritual Department in Liu Sheng’s heart.

"I will spread the message that the matter back then was the Shadow Guard’s fault, and from now on, the Shadow Guard will not set foot in the Ritual Department."

"This is the bottom line!"

Speaking this, the National Preceptor’s eyes were fixed on Liu Sheng.

If even this does not satisfy him, then he will have to let Emperor Yu intervene.

Whatever the final result... will depend on Emperor Yu’s decision.

"Alright!"

Liu Sheng finally spoke, knowing in his heart that achieving this was already the limit for the National Preceptor.

If they still do not agree, the two sides would completely tear their faces off.

Though not as a command, just as a subtle disclosure, with the capabilities of the Shadow Guard, the upper echelons of Great Yu would likely know.

This... is enough!

"Let it be so."

The National Preceptor’s old voice seemed even older at this moment.

At this point, Liu Sheng also stood up.

For this National Preceptor who had made unparalleled contributions to Great Yu, he held deep admiration in his heart.

But some things... he cannot not do.

"You... forget it, I won’t say more, but in the future, Great Yu will be handed over to you few old fellows. I’m old, tired, not much time left."

His gaze turned outside, eyes filled with reluctance.

"What happened to you?"

Liu Sheng realized something was wrong, the meaning of these words...

"I don’t have much time left."

The National Preceptor turned around, looking at him, a faint smile on his wrinkled old face.

He was too old, old enough to forget his own age.

He was not afraid of death!

He had lived enough.

However... although Great Yu now seemed peaceful, it was only on the surface; underneath, it was already turbulent.

He was not at ease! But felt powerless!

"What?"

Liu Sheng exclaimed, his face suddenly changing.

The joy from just now vanished completely at this moment.

"Impossible! You have reached this stage, how could your lifespan be running out?"

Liu Sheng’s voice became hoarse.

His strength ranked among the top five in the Eastern Continent, how could his lifespan be insufficient?

"So what? Don’t forget, I was injured back then, not everyone can live like that old tortoise Xiwang, and no matter how strong, one cannot resist the erosion of time."

When he said this, the National Preceptor felt much lighter.

He could not compare to that old tortoise Xiwang, and indeed he was old.

Then he laughed, "From now on Great Yu will rely on you all. You know the current situation, even though you are not young either, you should still hold on for a while longer."

"Take advantage of this burial ground opportunity to train a few more top talents."

"Then it won’t matter if you all die."

The National Preceptor playfully teased him.

Under normal circumstances, even if the National Preceptor said such things, Liu Sheng would have retorted a few words, but at this moment, he... his open mouth moved slightly.

In the end, only a sigh was heard.

"Enough, everyone has to die at some point. I’ve had enough in this lifetime, and I’ve come to terms with it, just a bit reluctant."

Indeed, any single event in his life would be enough for eternal fame.

Of course, his proudest achievement was nurturing Emperor Yu, the person in Great Yu’s history with the best chance to take the final step.
