Chapter 565 True Spirit Willow Leaf
Chapter 565 True Spirit Willow Leaf
Biwei City, City Guard's Office.
"I wonder where this wind came from, that it could blow Chief of Staff Chi of the Wind and Rain Pavilion all the way to Biwei City," Liu Anren said with a smile to the woman in blue in front of him.
"Wind and rain are everywhere, and Biwei City is no exception."
“My Biwei City has wind and rain, but there is no storm. There will be no storm today, and there will be no storm in the future.”
"Lord Liu, why be so decisive? The benefits that Fengyu Tower can bring to Biwei City are countless, and we would never steal Biwei City's secrets."
"Chief of Staff, I have been lenient enough by not blaming you for inciting my daughter. So I hope you can be more sensible. There are some bottom lines that must not be crossed."
"I don't think Chief of Staff Chi would make a special trip to Biwei City for such a trivial matter. Just say what you have to say." Liu Anren said coldly.
"Lord Liu is indeed as good as his reputation; he is a straightforward person."
Since that's the case, I won't be coy. I've come here mainly to see someone, and I hope Lord Liu can do me a favor."
"See someone? Is that person currently in Biwei City?" Liu Anren asked with some doubt.
"All I know is that he and Xian Chu arrived in Biwei City together, and if nothing unexpected happens, he should still be in Biwei City now."
"Wu Hen?" Liu Anren frowned, sensing something was amiss.
"It would be best if Lord Liu knew him. Please summon him; I have important matters to discuss with him," Chi Xiao said with a smile.
"Isn't he one of your men?" Liu Anren asked.
"Why would City Lord Liu think that way?" Chi Xiao asked, somewhat puzzled.
"You little brat!" Liu Anren clenched his fist.
"Please wait here for a moment, Chief of Staff Chi. I will find someone to bring him here right away."
"Then I'll have to trouble Lord Liu."
Liu Anren can only hope that Wu Hen didn't participate in Liu Zun's Heart-Questioning, otherwise he would become a sinner, as the most difficult Liu Zun's Heart-Questioning can cause some damage to the soul.
If one's soul is weak, there's a possibility of becoming an idiot.
After some time, Liu Anren returned to the hall with mixed feelings.
The good news is that the person did not actually undergo the Willow Venerable's Heart Inquiry, but the bad news is that he genuinely came to join Biwei City, only to be driven away by his daughter.
Moreover, judging from the importance that Fengyulou attaches to him, that person is probably extraordinary, otherwise it wouldn't be the turn of Chi Xiao, who has recently become famous in Fengyulou, to step forward.
After all, when it comes to intelligence, no one can compare to Fengyulou.
"How is Lord Liu?" Seeing Liu Anren's expression, Chi Xiao had a bad feeling.
"I'm sorry, Wu Hen is no longer in Biwei City."
"Hmm? That shouldn't be the case. Wasn't he supposed to be joining Biwei City? Why would he suddenly leave?"
"It's a long story, but he's definitely not in Biwei City right now. I have no reason to lie to you," Liu Anren replied somewhat helplessly.
Chi Xiaowei frowned slightly. "Does City Lord Liu know where he might be going?"
"Qixia Town, Bamboo Rhyme City, and Twilight Plain."
"As expected!" Chi Xiao smiled helplessly.
"Lord Liu, it's time to discipline your daughter. Since Wu Hen isn't here, please excuse me for taking my leave."
"I won't see you off!" Liu Anren said coldly. It was none of anyone else's business to remind him of his family affairs.
"I hope Lord Liu will remind Xian Chu to return the Dark Pavilion's token to the Wind and Rain Pavilion, as her promotion mission has not been successful."
"If your task is to establish the Wind and Rain Pavilion in Biwei City, then this is not her fault; you are making things too difficult for her."
Liu Anren knew that Liu Xianchu longed for Fengyulou and had dreamed of joining it since she was a child. If the token were taken back, it would probably be a huge blow to her.
"Lord Liu thinks too highly of us. For the sake of the Liu family, the only task we gave Xian Chu was to help Wu Hen join Biwei City."
But she couldn't even complete such a simple task, and she couldn't control her emotions at all. She's not the kind of person our Wind and Rain Pavilion needs.
After finishing her speech, Chi Xiao left the hall directly.
"You're more trouble than you're worth!" Liu Anren shook the chair next to him until it shattered into pieces.
Suddenly, Liu Anren paused, then took a deep breath. Only now did he realize what Biwei City had missed.
"Someone come here! Bring the Second Miss here."
When Liu Xian first entered the hall and saw the chair that had become a shattered piece, and Liu Anren's gloomy face, she knew that things were in serious trouble.
This is definitely not something she can get away with by simply being cute.
"Father, you wanted to see me?" Liu Xianchu said weakly.
"Tell me everything about that person named Wu Hen from beginning to end. If you conceal or fabricate even a single word, you will not be allowed to leave the city garrison for a year," Liu Anren said calmly.
"Why! Why should I be grounded because of him?"
"Your Majesty!"
An invisible aura instantly pressed down on Liu Xianchu, causing her legs to bend involuntarily, and she immediately knelt on the ground.
"I just asked you to tell the truth, and you dare to talk back to me."
It seems I have indeed neglected to discipline you, allowing you to be too willful. If this continues, you will cause big trouble for Biwei City sooner or later.
No, you've already caused a major problem for Biwei City.
"My daughter doesn't understand!" Liu Xianchu's face was covered in tears.
"You don't understand, you understand better than anyone else. I'll ask you one more time, are you going to tell me or not?"
“My daughter doesn’t know what she did wrong!” Liu Xianchu looked up stubbornly at Liu Anren.
"You don't know? Fine! Why did you frame Wu Hen!"
"That person originally had ill intentions towards Biwei City. My daughter did it for Biwei City, to prevent that kind of scourge from becoming a resident of Biwei City."
And I may not necessarily be framing him; he could indeed be a member of the Wind and Rain Pavilion.
"What makes you think he's harmful to Biwei City!" At this moment, Liu Anren really wanted to strangle the daughter in front of him.
"He...he...he used a fake name and a fake face, and he may have wanted to settle in Biwei City to escape his enemies."
Once he becomes a resident of Biwei City, his enemies will surely come to find him, and he will become a scourge to Biwei City.
"Just because of these things!" Liu Anren looked at his completely unfamiliar daughter with disbelief.
"Isn't this enough?"
Snapped--!
After a loud slap, Liu Xianchu covered her face and stared blankly at Liu Anren in front of her. Her father had never hit her since she was a child, but now he had slapped her because of a stranger.
As Liu Anren felt the lingering sensation in his hand, he was immediately filled with boundless regret. He wanted to comfort Liu Xianchu, but found that he couldn't bring himself to speak.
He couldn't understand why his daughter had become like this—stubborn, willful, wicked, unable to distinguish right from wrong, and repulsive.
At this moment, the willow branches in the hall continued to extend, gradually weaving into the image of a young man with black hair and beard.
"Let me explain this! I entrusted this matter to you, not so that you would make things like this!"
"Ancestor!" Liu Anren respectfully stepped aside.
"Xianchu, you get up too." The young man gently lifted Liu Xianchu up.
Looking at the young man in front of him, Liu Xianchu immediately realized that something serious had probably happened in Biwei City.
Otherwise, the ancestor wouldn't have shown up so easily, and the father wouldn't have been so angry. And all of this is probably related to the person she drove away.
This made her panic. She didn't care how angry her father was, but if anything happened to Biwei City because of her, she would be held responsible to the death.
"The matter is actually very simple, but you insist on making it complicated. I don't know how you raised Minghui and Xianchu. Aren't they your children?"
"How can someone so impulsive manage Biwei City?" The young man looked at Liu Anren with disappointment in his eyes.
“Ancestor, Anren knows he was wrong.”
“Xianchu, although your father went a bit too far, you do need to take full responsibility for this matter.”
In short, Liu Zun gave that young man named Wu Hen a 'True Spirit Willow Leaf', and I think you should know what the True Spirit Willow Leaf means to Biwei City.
The mess you've made is yours to fix. I hope you can put aside your prejudices, prioritize the greater good of Biwei City, and bring Wuhen back to Biwei City.
"so……"
Upon hearing this, she felt calmer and even a little relieved.
Bringing that guy back is easy. As long as she tells him to participate in Liu Zun's Heart-Questioning, he'll probably follow her flying shuttle back without a second thought.
She just didn't expect that Liu Zun would give the True Spirit Willow Leaf directly to him. What was it about that person that Liu Zun valued so much?
In her opinion, he didn't even have the right to set foot in Biwei City.
