Chapter 373: Chapter 281: Breaking Through the Barrier! A Great Celebration for the Lu Family!
Luo Gongli looked at Zi Yao with unwillingness, his tone filled with a sinister undertone: "Hmph!"
"Mr. Zi, I hope you won’t shield this fellow Lu Xuan."
However, as he spoke these words, almost simultaneously, the civil and military officials behind him distanced themselves, their faces showing expressions of disbelief.
As if to say: "This guy, how does he dare?"
"Even dare to question a mysterious woman like Zi Yao!"
Zi Yao heard this and softly said, "Hmm?" though the sound was light, it carried an invisible pressure.
The next moment, a dull sound of "bang" resounded in the Pilgrimage Hall, echoing with a strange power surge.
Luo Gongli’s body seemed to be struck by an invisible force.
In an instant, he lost balance and slid out on the smooth, bright floor.
His figure rolled uncontrollably like a ball, disappearing outside the hall door, leaving only a trace of embarrassment.
In the court, the civil and military officials were dumbfounded, secretly grateful they hadn’t spoken out.
This woman’s power and means are indeed unfathomable, daring to unhesitatingly teach a lesson to a minister like Luo Gongli.
To humiliate a vice director-level court minister so openly.
To those with high self-esteem, they might even have a mind to die.
Zi Yao stood there calmly, as if everything just now had nothing to do with her.
She slightly raised her eyes, her gaze sweeping over the officials, and then it fell on Lin Youya, her voice cold and calm.
"Mr. Lin, since His Majesty has decided to assign this case to my bureau to handle."
"The servants from the Luo Family involved in this case should also be handed over to the Profound Bird Guard for custody."
The officials, hearing that this did not concern them, all bowed in salute and quickly exited the Pilgrimage Hall.
Afraid of becoming the next person to be "kicked out."
After all, this woman Zi Yao is terrifying and His Majesty’s most valued confidant.
Lin Youya, seeing Zi Yao’s focus on him, slightly changed his originally calm expression, then showed a respectful smile.
He bowed slightly, his tone humble and sincere: "Mr. Zi, rest assured!"
"Those Luo family servants, I have already ordered them to be sent to the Profound Bird Guard in advance."
"If nothing unexpected happens, they should have already arrived there now."
At this point, Lin Youya paused, a somewhat meaningful expression flashing across his face, and continued: "However... those servants, after being subjected to the Mirror Light Skill multiple times."
"Are already entirely deranged, turned into madmen, like walking corpses, completely useless."
Zi Yao was surprised to hear this, looking deeply at Lin Youya.
Her gaze carried a hint of scrutiny and amusement, as if reevaluating this extremely low-key Director of the Bright Mirror Bureau.
Inwardly, Zi Yao sighed.
What an old fox!
To think he could anticipate my presence in court, and silently dispose of those key witnesses, completely cutting off the avenue to investigate Lu Xuan.
"Mr. Lin is indeed meticulous and thorough in your work."
"Regarding this matter, I will handle it properly."
Hearing her words, Lin Youya’s smile became even more humble, continuing to bow: "Mr. Zi, you overpraise me, I only did what little I could to relieve the burdens of our Great Xia Dynasty."
"Besides!"
"Mr. Zi, I believe that a genius like Mr. Lu could not possibly be the one who killed the Inspector."
"If there’s a chance, I hope Mr. Zi can relay my words to him."
"Just say that I hold great admiration for Mr. Lu."
"If Mr. Lu doesn’t mind, I’ll personally visit him in the future!"
It turns out Lin Youya, this old fellow, went through all this trouble for Lu Xuan.
Obviously, he wants to befriend Lu Xuan!
And rightly so, even I find Lu Xuan unbelievable at times.
Zi Yao said nothing more, only looking at him deeply before turning to leave.
Her figure, like an illusion and reflection, soon vanished at the far end of the court.
While Lin Youya stood there, watching Zi Yao depart, the smile on his face gradually fading, replaced by an inscrutable calm.
Lu Xuan.
Truly despair-inducing!
If things proceed systematically, Lu Xuan may very well break through to that realm!
Dongxu True Lord!
This is why Lin Youya chose to act high-profile today, aiming to show goodwill towards Lu Xuan.
Celestial Capital Profound Bird Guard!
Celestial Capital, Profound Bird Guard Headquarters!
Zi Yao stood silently within the great hall, a purple token suspended in her hand.
The token surrounded by a gentle purple aura, exuding a mysterious and inscrutable air.
Zi Yao’s gaze deep, as if through this purple token, piercing through endless void, reaching far into the distance.
"Lu Xuan, when will you come to the capital?"
"His Majesty wants to see you."
Zi Yao’s voice, as if through some mysterious force, crossed countless mountains and rivers, reaching directly to Lu Xuan’s ear.
Meanwhile, far underground in Qingyun County.
Sitting cross-legged, Lu Xuan suddenly opened his eyes.
A mystical purple-gold gleam flashed in his eyes, as if awakening from deep meditation.
Soon after, a scarlet light emerged from his embrace, suspended before him; it was a scarlet token, resonating with the purple token in Zi Yao’s hand.
Lu Xuan’s eyes locked, looking at the scarlet token before him, feeling somewhat apprehensive.
