Chapter 2472: Chapter 94: Yan Dao Marvels_2

"There’s no point in discussing appropriateness or not." Ruan Qin appeared indifferent, as if he had no interest in the affiliation of the Blood River Sect: "The Marquis Champion has both a respected status and elders present. This matter is none of my concern. Whether your sect intends or not, feel free." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

It seemed as if he had said everything, yet nothing at all. He appeared more like a spectator than even Si Yu’an and Chen Pu.

At this moment, Peng Chongjian spoke: "I am willing to support Protector Kou’s opinion. If you are really going to Linzi, it wouldn’t hurt to clarify with the Marquis Champion that, since it is Sect Master Huo’s last wish, there is no reason for the Blood River Sect to disagree. If he agrees to inherit the Blood River and glorify the sect, I, Peng Chongjian, will fully support him and will not allow anyone to become his hindrance."

This statement was exceedingly clear.

Beside him, Yu Xiaochen’s heart was in turmoil, yet he could not utter a single word.

Kou Xuejiao nodded solemnly: "I will definitely convey Protector Peng’s words."

With that, he directly turned and left, wasting not a single moment, heading straight for Linzi.

Seeing the matter of the Qi people taking charge of the Blood River Sect becoming an accomplished fact, Chen Pu did not show any anger, merely looked at Peng Chongjian and said, "Hopefully you have indeed been true to yourselves and made the right choice."

No hint of malice, no harsh words, he simply turned alone and left without a trace of dust.

Peng Chongjian said nothing further, only bowed deeply to his departing figure.

Seeing Chen Pu leave, Si Yu’an too did not explain anything to the members of the Blood River Sect, only told Jiang Wang: "Since that’s the case, I will be going as well. When you return to the Nanxia Governor’s Mansion, remember to come to the Sword Pavilion and take your friends and disciples away."

He then deliberately stepped closer, scrutinizing him: "You don’t need me to welcome you once more, do you?"

Jiang Wang made a gesture of pleading: "I dare not trouble Master of the Archive further."

Si Yu’an chuckled lightly and then, with a flick of his sword of thatched grass, departed.

Peng Chongjian, scarcely uplifting his spirits, said to Ruan Qin and Jiang Wang: "If neither of you distinguished guests have urgent matters, why not stay here for a few days and allow my Blood River Sect to extend some hospitality?"

From this posture, it seemed as if plans were already being made for Zhongxuan Zun’s integration into the Blood River Sect.

Ruan Qin merely laughed: "Now is not a good time to impose, Protector Peng should rest and prioritize your health."

"Very well." Peng Chongjian replied weakly with a smile: "You are a Star Divination Grandmaster, unmatched in divination, I hope to have the chance to seek your guidance in the future."

"There will be a chance." Ruan Qin smiled and said, then took Jiang Wang to bid farewell.

He arrived leisurely, but left hastily. With a shift of the starlight beneath their feet, he had already taken Jiang Wang out of the Blood River Sect’s mountain gate, flying towards the direction of the Nanxia Governor’s Mansion.

A splendid and intricate star map spread beneath them like a carpet.

Feeling the wind whistling past from all directions, Jiang Wang was truly in awe of Ruan Qin’s composure.

This was, after all, the heritage of an entire Blood River Sect, enough to make even Si Yu’an envious and Chen Pu anxious, yet this Supervisor remained unruffled, making no rush to decisions.

Yet, he stood alone at the front, his palm raised quietly, five fingers pointed to the sky, each fingertip holding a line of starlight. One end wound around his finger, the other vanished into the void, just like puppet strings connecting to the heavens. His Star Map Robe fluttered, having an indescribable grace of its own.

Truly deserving of the one who oversees the Imperial Heavenly Observatory, calculating deeply and remaining unperturbed!

"You seem not to care about the Blood River Sect’s heritage?" Amidst the gale, Jiang Wang asked casually.

Ruan Qin manipulatively played with the lines of starlight, equally unconcerned: "Our Daqi is indeed an overlord country, vast and grand, how can we be tempted by trivial gains? While we are outside, each of our words and actions represents Daqi. In all matters, we must first examine the essence, then consider the external, and only then can we be without worries..."

Jiang Wang was about to offer more flattery.

Ruan Qin’s five fingers twitched, having connected with something, his tone instantly grew solemn: "Who is there?"

Within the space between his gently grasping fingers, a cultured voice sounded: "It is I, Wen Yanyu."

Ruan Qin spoke rapidly: "Saint Water is in upheaval, the Bodhi Evil Ancestor has emerged, Mixed Yuan Evil Immortal is also taking action, Sect Master Huo Shiji of Blood River Sect perished in Saint Water, witnessed by Chen Pu, Si Yu’an, Wu Bingyi, and our Marquis Wu’an. The Right Protector Kou Xuejiao of Blood River Sect is now rushing to Linzi, claiming that Sect Master Huo intended for Zhongxuan Zun to inherit the sect."

Wen Yanyu’s voice was calm: "The Supervisor didn’t see how Huo Shiji died?"

Ruan Qin replied: "By the time I arrived, they had already exited the Door of Mortal World."

From afar in Linzi, Wen Yanyu responded: "Understood. Thank you, Supervisor."

Throughout the entire process, Ruan Qin offered no suggestions, simply delivering information swiftly.

For the Political Affairs Hall would naturally have its mechanism for handling this.

As the connection was severed from this side, Wen Yanyu on duty at the Political Affairs Hall would soon convene a council meeting, and the intelligence forces of the Great Qi Empire would swiftly mobilize, investigating this murky matter thoroughly.

But that he acted with such urgency, hurriedly crossing thousands of miles to communicate with the Linzi Political Affairs Hall, clearly did not match his calm and unhurried demeanor on this journey.

Facing Jiang Wang’s somewhat peculiar gaze, Ruan Qin stated calmly: "Though it may be a trivial gain, without small steps, one cannot reach a thousand miles."

Jiang Wang nodded: "I understand."

Ruan Qin continued: "Don’t be fooled by how decisively Chen Pu and Si Yu’an left, they could very well be hiding somewhere now, discussing their strategies."
