Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Young Master An, I’m handling a case. Please don’t hinder me from handling tne case.” cao yu said solemnly.
A saber at his waist clanged, and a dignified pressure spread out from it and fused into Cao Fu’s Qi Blood, causing the Qi Blood mountain to become more majestic.
This saber was one of the Dali Temple’s Dharma treasures. It was known as a third-grade Dharma treasure that contained the power to capture thieves. If anyone committed a crime, they would definitely be depressed under the aura of this saber. Their will would be weakened and their spirits would be intimidated.
However, An Le remained calm in the face of the aura of the Capturing Saber.
It was even to the extent that a wave of sword qi surged out from his body. It was brilliant like the sun and hung high in the sky, illuminating the mortal world and expelling all filth and evil spirits. His white clothes fluttered, and as the sword qi buzzed, Cao Fu’s Qi Blood and the power to capture bandits were actually slashed into pieces!
It could not suppress An Le’s body at all.
Cao Fu’s pupils constricted as he felt that it was unbelievable.
What kind of power was this? Was it the literary righteousness?
However, it did not seem like it, but it was also like a sword qi that was upright and righteous, cutting through the tainted and dark world!
The tense atmosphere made Huang Xian’s heart jump to his throat. If An Le resisted arrest, things would really become more and more chaotic.
Facing Cao Fu’s powerful aura that rose and fused with the pressure released by the Capturing Saber, An Le placed his palm on the Green Mountain at his waist. The righteous sword qi rose and cut off the injustice and pressure.
Looking at Cao Fu, An Le said, “Lord Cao, there’s actually no need to go to the
Black Office. Actually, I think there’s a better place to go.”
After saying that, An Le straightened his back and walked out. He passed by Cao Fu, passed through the officials of the Black Office and Dali Temple, left the courtyard, and headed towards Qingbo Street.
Cao Fu held the Capturing Saber and turned to look at the young man’s proud back. His expression softened.
In fact, when a power that seemed to be righteous surged out of the young man’s body and he was not afraid of the power of the Capturing Saber, Cao Fu believed that the young man could not have cheated.
If he cheated and his heart was covered in darkness, how could he possess such righteous power?
Cao Fu did not insist on shackling the young man. He followed the young man out of the courtyard and Imperial Ancestral Temple Alley.
Jing Street, Lin Residence.
The Water Pavilion was quiet. The large pool was sparkling with ripples, reflecting the warm sun like the broken light in the lake.
In the main hall, there was a spring breeze in the hall. Madam Hua was wearing a black gauze dress and lying on the couch, reading.Xiang stood quietly at the side and waited silently.
Suddenly, two figures rushed over from outside the Water Pavilion.
Lin Qingyin lifted the hem of her skirt and ran quickly. Lin Zhuifeng was dressed in tight clothes and had a fire stick at his waist. He ran energetically.
The two girls looked worried.
After entering the Water Pavilion and seeing Madam Hua, Lin Zhuifeng shouted from afar, “First Madam, bad news. Hurry up and save Mr. An!”
Lin Qingyin’s eyes were filled with worry as she looked at the graceful and noble figure who had already closed the book and stood up from the couch.
“The Imperial Examination’s cheating case has implicated Teacher. Now that Prime Minister Qin has mobilized the Dali Temple and the Black Office, they are about to arrest Teacher!”
When Madam Hua heard this, her willow leaf-like eyebrows raised slightly.
She instantly figured out the whole story.
However, she did not look too nervous or worried because she knew very well that An Le could not have cheated in the Spring Quarter Examination.
With the righteousness and the Green Mountain sword qi, who dared to say that he had cheated?
However, when An Le’s righteousness fused with the sword qi that day, Zhao Huangting used a powerful sword qi to hide his aura. Therefore, most cultivators in Lin’an Prefecture did not know that the youth had fused with righteousness.
However, Madam Hua knew.
Those who obtained righteousness were naturally open and aboveboard. How could they cheat?
Moreover, Madam Hua guessed that Qin Lishi probably did not think that An
Le would cheat, but he still issued an investigation order to let An Le enter the Black Office’s prison. It was said that even cultivators of the seventh realm would have to suffer there. It would ruin An Le’s extraordinary spirit.
Qin Lishi was naturally displeased that such a youth was on good terms with the Lin Residence.
Madam Hua sighed softly. In the end, the young man was still involved in the storm because of the Lin Residence. Even though it was only the edge of the storm, it was still a calamity.
“Xi Xiang, prepare the carriage.”
Xi Xiang, who was standing quietly, bowed when she heard this.
“Yes.”
On this day, all the benefactors in Lin’an moved.
A luxurious carriage left the Lin Residence and headed for Qingbo Street.
For some reason, the news of the Imperial Examination’s cheating case suddenly spread like wildfire.
The Imperial Court did not publicize it much, but the news spread like wildfire. The brothels and taverns on the streets, the flower boat on the West Lake, and the private rooms in the Falling Flower Pavilion were all news of the Imperial Examination’s fraud. The most widely spread news was that Master An, who painted ink bamboo, had cheated.
Master An’s ink bamboo name resounded in Lin’an, and the Galloping Horse Painting completely solidified his reputation. Countless scholars and calligraphers admired him, and countless women admired him.
In the end, Master An actually cheated in the Imperial Examination?
It was rumored that Master An was old friends with the Lin Residence. In this Hall Examination, the Lin Residence wanted to compete for the second-grade Dharma treasure, Storm Calming. Master An had high hopes for it.
Master An was under a lot of pressure, so he cheated and wanted to take the Palace Examination steadily.
It was said that the news was spread by the Confucian scholars who were favored by the Literary Music Ranking of the Literary Department. This was confirmed to be extremely likely.
Of course, some of Master An’s fans, such as Han Shi from Cangzhou, were angry and questioned. With Master An’s talent, he could enter the Palace Examination without cheating. Master An was a genius in the Literary Department’s Heart Questioning Forest and suppressed many Confucian scholars on the Literary Music Ranking..
