Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1409 - 818: Dialogue_2

The nature of the willow is yin, nurturing through consuming blood, it can become a spirit.

Is it witchcraft?

No, this is the method witches most prefer to deal with enemies.

Dust to dust, soil to soil, wouldn’t it be better to nurture flowers and grass?

Sui Yi is a witch.

Her indifference when killing people is chilling.

Before the corpse hit the ground, Sui Yi took out a phone from Jing Wei’s pocket.

The phone was ringing.

A swipe of the finger.

"Jing Wei! Withdraw the team!"

"Got the news, Sui Yi indeed made a move!"

"Not Sui Yi, it’s Gong Jiu and Flower Demon, those two bitches!"

"Damn it, these two women have both broken through SS, and they’ve taken down five SSs. Their methods are too strong. Half of our people in Guangdong have been wiped out. Now everyone’s on edge, even the Imperial Guards have caught on... The boss says to pull back."

"Are you going to speak or not?"

Sui Yi silently plays with a cherry blossom petal.

"Han Junyan?"

"Wait, you are..."

"I’ve met you once or twice, can barely recognize the voice."

"It’s you! Sui Yi! What do you want to do?!! I warn you! We..."

Sui Yi emotionlessly transfers the magnetic sensation...

In another area of the Capital City, still within that towering modern building.

In a large conference hall, isolated from eavesdropping, people can’t use their Inner Strength to listen to each other’s whispers unless their power differences are exceedingly vast.

So staying in a corner to make a quiet phone call poses no issue.

Even if the host of this meeting is much stronger than them, they wouldn’t stoop to invading others’ privacy.

However...

Ah!!

Han Junyan clutches his ears in agony, blood gushes out from them...

Rolling on the floor in an undignified manner, his screams like a dog’s.

This scene shocks all the officers present.

And the phone that fell supposedly wasn’t on speaker, yet the voice was so clear.

"So this was a conference."

What the heck!

The man sitting at the head seat folds his hands, supporting his chin, and looks towards one of those present.

"Surveillance Department, play the surveillance video."

"Yes."

The big screen turns on, it’s a replay; featuring the massive net, the people killed, the willow tree nurtured, and the person standing on the courtyard wall...

The surveillance viewpoint is distant, due to long-distance filming.

In fact, Imperial Guards’ surveillance always has near and far methods; if it’s a more advanced project, both are used to prevent accidents. Indeed, now the close-range surveyors have failed, but the distant ones remain, using high-tech devices to film...

And then they saw the woman in casual home attire appearing on screen...

The view zooms in...

She looks over, as if peering through the camera at them.

That gaze...

What the heck!

Did she notice?

The people present were alarmed, and the man in the head seat narrowed his eyes.

Who sits below? There are the elderly, the middle-aged, and a few young faces, like Yue Beiqing and Ming Lanyuan, like Jiang Muxiu, like Yi Chilian, like Bai Yuanxiu, and like...

"Chu"

The man at the head seat speaks, Chu Muxiu stands up.

Walks to the phone, bends over to pick it up, the screen pressed to his ear, eyes on the video.

The person in the video seems to be looking at him too.

"Sui Yi, you now have the right to name the person you wish to converse with... if you believe these twenty surveyors of Imperial Guards are necessary to keep."

Chu Muzhe speaks meaningfully from the start.

Calm as a mountain, unlike the restless generals.

— He is a civilian officer!

Thus, the conference room falls silent.

And Sui Yi, indifferent to naming a person for dialogue, asks calmly: "Are these twenty people under Bai Yuanxiu?"

On the big screen, this woman with seemingly poreless skin exudes no trace of human warmth, her eyes are terrifying.

Yet because of Sui Yi’s direct and almost crude questioning, people quickly shift focus.

The man seated at the head glances at Bai Yuanxiu.

Chu Muzhe also takes a look at Bai Yuanxiu: "No."

"Then I won’t kill them."

How straightforward, the department heads who had prepared arguments to save people felt relief come too quickly.

The people were shocked too.

So, killing Jing Wei was because of... Bai Yuanxiu?

This targeting is damn precise!

Everyone’s gaze turns odd, yet Bai Yuanxiu, known for being both feared and praised, remains calm and composed.

Chu Muzhe disregards others’ expressions, having prepared his words, says mildly: "Was Gong Jiu and Flower Demon’s move also because of this?"

Also because of this?

These six words are damn well-utilized.

Their minds run wild at his words.

"First come, first served, was it not him hurting Gong Jiu that led to this?"

It sounds quite reasonable, also damn straightforward!

Yi Chilian gazes at Bai Yuanxiu’s faction with a mocking smile.

Others show mixed emotions.

The Martial Arts forces in Guangzhou.. Bai Yuanxiu’s people?

Military, political, Imperial Guards, Martial Arts all involved, mighty tactics!

That sends chills...

Bai Yuanxiu finally speaks.

"So, Miss Sui due to some baseless speculations, took revenge on me by killing so many people?"

A skillful jab, if Sui Yi agrees, she might acknowledge hostility with Imperial Guards...

But the voice was just right for Sui Yi to hear?

Chu Muzhe slightly moves the phone away.

Thus, all hear a response loud and clear.

"Jing Wei died merely because he trespassed my courtyard wall without permission."

Everyone: Your courtyard wall is made of gold, right, damn impossible to step on!

"As for those people in Guangzhou... Gong Jiu can handle it cleanly."

Everyone: Now it’s our fault?

No need for me to act."

Everyone: So the core idea of these three sentences is —Taking revenge on you, no need for me to act!

This was understood in minutes by everyone.
