Just as expected, as the emperor was told to hold on to his rage, his gaze instantly shifted to Qiu JianHan and he became even more infuriated.
Ohohohoho! Here I was, wondering which audacious person it was, that I can’t even go berserk in front of him. So, it is Qiu Jianhan, who always tells a pack of lies, a mouthful of sht, one who commits treason and deceives the emperor as his duty! Old Marshal Qiu! My dear Qiu! Qiu War God! You are good, you are great, you are wonderful! I have the utmost respect for you. Remember to keep it up!

Qiu Jianhan sat down, exasperated and speechless.

I remember asking you many times about the true identity of Supreme Cloud, but didn’t you say that you were unaware of it? You don’t seem too surprised now! Why would you want to run off as soon as you were asked to investigate this, to point of entertaining the idea of leading the western troops to battle to stay out of the way? Why would you want to avoid this so badly? It was to hide from me, to stay away from this troublesome place, the rabble-rouser… I’m sure all of you know about this, but you hid it from me! I am right?


Qiu Jianhan!
He let out an angry roar.
Do you think I am an idiot?

Qiu Jianhan’s cough caught in his throat, threatening to choke him to death.
‘I am an idiot?’
‘What could I say? Was I able to utter,
Your Majesty, you are not an idiot
or
Your Majesty, you are brilliant?’
‘it wasn’t right, and would only make it worse. So, I had better keep my mouth shut, be good, and take on this raging storm…’
The emperor was enraged, and his anger gradually shifted to Fang Qingtian, then to Leng Daoyin. By the time the emperor got tired of chastising his men and leaned back in his chair to take a breather and drink water, the faces and hair of the four men had been completely sprayed with white, foamy saliva!
This was the first time that His Majesty had been so furious in many years!
How could he not be incensed? The emperor felt as if his very organs had been torn apart eight hundred times.
Now, as long as the emperor pictured the uncouth manners of the four men lowering their heads, he could feel the rage imploding within his heart, threatening to lash out again. Hence, he began cursing.
Even though his stomach was still bloated from how intensively he was fuming, the only feeling he could experience now was dizziness; he did not even have the strength to be angry.
He could only huff while his eyes glared at these men; his gaze struck each one of them like saber blades.
If his stare had truly been sabers, then the four men would have been chopped at least seven or eight hundred times each in such a short amount of time!

Cough, cough…
Fang Qingtian coughed, cleared his throat, preparing to speak.

Old fart, why are you coughing? Do you have a wasting disease? When you were like this before, I had to uphold your sky-high honor, and said nothing! But now…

His Majesty glanced at Fang Qingtian from the corner of his eye.
Now, who would have known that an old man like you, who has one foot in the coffin and half your body has already gone to hell, can still be alive and functioning to anger me? So, it was Lord Supreme Cloud who is keeping you alive. Ohohohoho, what an immense honor you have…

Fang Qingtian wore a bewildered look.
‘I coughed because I was ready to speak about serious matters. How did I end up being covered in a big, warm fart?’

Is there anything else you want to say? Say it, say it!
The emperor, who had completely lost control of his emotions, was exasperated.
‘You rascals! What do you take me for?’
‘You have been hiding from me all you have known about this matter. Do you think that I am a fatuous emperor who is ignorant and has no sense of priority?’
‘Would I kill Supreme Cloud once I found him because his merits are undoubtedly higher than those of the emperor himself? You are afraid that I will feel dread, so you all will go to any lengths to hide it from me?’
What a bastard!

Your Majesty, even though Your Majesty is in a fury, now is not the time to vent your spleen. What’s important now is that it is obvious that the current turbulent situation was caused by those with ill-intentions… What we should consider most now is what should be done about this matter. How do we react?

Fang Qingtian said sternly,
This matter must be dealt with as soon as possible. If it were left to develop into something bigger later, it would be a major event that would affect the very foundations of this country.


Harrumph!

His Majesty huffed angrily and said,
Tell me then, how do we deal with it? Answer me, one by one.

Qiu Jianhan coughed, wanting to speak. He lifted his head but shrank back. He looked at Yun Xiaoyao, signaling him to speak about this matter as he was the most suitable person to do it – he was the father of the culprit.
Yun Xiaoyao rolled his eyes and shrank in his chair without making a sound; I am to speak? How dare I speak now? I would be beaten up the moment I opened my mouth. Besides, I am helpless with things that require thinking. You have regarded me too highly if you let me think of a way.
King Yun felt very much aggrieved.
‘Your father is an idle king; that old bastard was dissolute, gave birth to your father and did not care. Although I was made marquis, I was not given real power, not even a salary…’
‘However, how many times have I put my own life at stake for the Empire of Yutang all these years? Surviving countless battles is just of little importance. My son is Supreme Cloud. What is wrong with that? He has saved the whole empire… We, father and son, have contributed so much for the Empire of Yutang; we have nothing in return but resentment. Up until now, you bunch of scoundrels still want your father to go against thunder!’
‘Where’s the logic in this?’
‘I will not come out, even if I was beaten to death!’
‘I will probably be beaten to death the moment I ventured out!’
‘You fellows still have some dignity in the eyes of the emperor, but I have none in front of him!’
‘He beats and chastises me whenever he wants. I have to restrain my cultivation base to resist retaliating, even when he hits me, lest the bastard be hurt. Except for the fact that this fellow cannot kill me, he can do whatever he wants to torment me as if it is unquestionable and euphemistically called ‘home law’.’
‘Screw the pooch!’
Leng Daoyin was one who was the least suspected thus far. First, he had little contact with Yun Yang. Second, he did not receive any treatment from Yun Yang. He coughed and rubbed off the spittle on his face, and said,
Lao Fang is right. It is obvious that someone is behind all of this, harboring ill intent! I reckon that it is most probably the few people from the so-called School of Kismet State who are behind this. We might as well put them under our surveillance…


Do I need to be reminded by you that we can do so? What you said is bullshit!
The emperor rolled his eyes, fuming.
The problem now is that this has become an act of deification. Don’t you know that the law cannot be enforced when everyone is an offender?

Everyone was quiet.
His words were right on point.
That was the reality, a solid case of deification.
By depending on Supreme Cloud’s influence, they would trigger an upheaval to initiate the School of Kismet State into the movement. They could then mobilize scholars from all over the world to exalt the School of Kismet State’s position to the altar!
They were smart because there was only one man in the Empire of Yutang who could be deified – Supreme Cloud!
