Chen Weiran already understood what Yuchi meant. "What he means is that Yuchi left a clue before he disappeared, indicating that there is an official in Jiangzhou City who is a demon." "Then this person named Song Bei came over following his nephew’s request to investigate the matter." "That’s why he came to find me." Sitting steadily in the chair, Chen Weiran knew what he knew, but to believe such a thing had happened? How could it be possible, talking aside, jesting aside, don’t joke about demons. This isn’t some low-level region’s demon. To speak unpleasantly, if demons from the lower three states appeared in Jiangzhou City causing widespread death, such a thing would be considered divine retribution, beyond their control, and they couldn’t be blamed. But if it was a demon disguised as a human causing the officials in Jiangzhou City to turn into demons, this would be no ordinary matter. If really someone from above came down to investigate, the consequences would be incredibly severe. "So it’s impossible, just keep such thoughts to yourself." "You told me today, and we hit it off immediately, so there’s no problem." "If you were to tell the people from the Demon-slaying Bureau, what do you think they’d do to you?" "Do you think you can leave the Demon-slaying Bureau?" Chen Weiran already conveyed quite a bit of threat in his words. He had his own reasons nonetheless. Firstly, demons are hard to hide. Secondly, the demon issue is very serious; no matter how the Four Major Institutions play around, they won’t play with fire. Thirdly, why should I believe you and not trust my colleagues? Yuchi could clearly sense the intense mistrust from Chen Weiran. However, this was relatively good for Yuchi. The other party clearly expressed an attitude of disbelief, along with a certain disdain. If the other party was truly complicit, he would have already shown it by kicking himself out. "The Celestial Capital Department might actually be fine." "They’re simply foolish but not malicious." Yuchi didn’t expect much from the Celestial Capital Department; as long as they weren’t colluding with the Demon-slaying Bureau, it sufficed. "Chen sir, I’m merely deducing based on the clue left by my nephew." "He said he was harmed by demons and that there are demons among the Four Major Institutions, but he’s temporarily unsure who." "In that case, I choose to believe my nephew." Yuchi continued to express his stance to Chen Weiran. He even bowed calmly and said, "My nephew Yuchi is the president of the chamber of commerce, after all." "The chamber of commerce hands over so much gold and silver to the government every year; even without great achievements, there’s hard work." "Chen sir surely won’t just sit idly by now that I’ve spoken to this extent, will he?" Yuchi began to stir trouble. Qingzhu instantly looked at the man beside her, surprised by the changes in his eyes. Her elder brother, Yuchi, usually was a very gentle person, but with those three sentences uttered, there was a hint of threat. This was completely different from when he first entered the council chamber; he started to speak with the tone of a Cultivator. "He’s about to make real moves." Qingzhu recognized. Of course, since Yuchi determined that the Celestial Capital Department wasn’t colluding with the Demon-slaying Bureau, he could relatively free up some room to maneuver. When it comes to a head-on confrontation, ha, the barefooted aren’t afraid of the ones with shoes. Can Chen Weiran seriously go all out against him? He wouldn’t be that foolish. Chen Weiran felt the intense pressure from Yuchi; this was entirely different from the words earlier. The tone carried a cold indifference. It seemed if he ignored it, some major incident would occur. Someone really dares to threaten me, Chen Weiran, on my own turf at the Celestial Capital Department? Narrowing his eyes, Chen Weiran stepped on the corpse of a tiger head. "Alright, what do you want to do?" "Put forward your idea, and I’ll see if I can help." "Since fate brought us together for a meeting here, I definitely have to help where help is needed." Secretly cursing Yuchi for seeking death, daring to malign the Demon-slaying Bureau ; once the Demon-slaying Bureau found fault, Yuchi would surely die. This represents his distrust of the government. Ordinary people are distrustful towards demons, and his distrust towards the government essentially demonizes them. Leading to anti-peace sentiments, ignoring will surely result in endless trouble... "Such a major black pot coming this way?" Yuchi was speechless. "Frankly, I came to the Celestial Capital Department mainly to investigate the Defense Department’s affairs." "Would you please accompany me to the Demon-slaying Bureau and prepare a Demon-Revealing Array immediately?" "The array only needs to target the officials of the Defense Department, and the cost of gold and silver will be borne by me alone." Chen Weiran’s eyes filled with fury. This Song Bei, is he an idiot? Despite being so direct, he continues to defy me repeatedly. Does he really consider me a person? "It’s utterly ridiculous!" Chen Weiran and Yuchi engaged in a standoff, with him rising from the chair, stepping on tiger skin. He moved beside the wall, touching the beast carcass on the wall. His fierce face looked at the calm Yuchi, slowly saying: "Are you joking with me?" "Know well that if no demon is found eventually, you’re just creating panic." "The punishment will be multiplied!" "At that time, if they decide to eliminate your entire clan, don’t blame me, Chen, for not being merciful!" Chen Weiran directly issued threats, feeling insulted. Considering the situation from two perspectives. First perspective, assuming there’s a one-in-a-million chance of a demon appearing in Jiangzhou City. This wouldn’t only be a problem for the Demon-slaying Bureau; their Celestial Capital Department and others would not escape. The Four Major Institutions, although differing in rights and responsibilities, must supervise each other. If a big loophole’s made, and an investigation commences, they’d all be done for. Second perspective, considering the above reasons, Yuchi knowing this situation yet wanting the Demon-Revealing Array present, this denotes distrust towards the Demon-slaying Bureau. Distrust towards the Demon-slaying Bureau signifies distrust towards the Defense Department, further towards the entirety of Jiangzhou City. Not to mention their Celestial Capital Department inside Jiangzhou City. This resembles someone coming to report to the magistrate, demanding the county magistrate arrest his own son. If his son is worthless, then wouldn’t he, the father, be worthless? Chen Weiran’s mindset is simple. Which amounts to three words. "Jiangzhou City can’t possibly have any demon appearing." "It’s even more impossible for officials to be under demon control without our awareness; that is simply impossible!" Chen Weiran flicked his arm and said coldly in a stiff manner, "I’m very tired today." "I have things to do later." "We’ll talk about it another time if there’s anything." Chen Weiran was evidently dismissing the guest. And before he could utter the two words for dismissing the guest, Yuchi quickly spoke first. "Since you have such a mindset, I can’t change anything; however, some things must be clarified at the last moment." "I have no intention of hiding anything." "We certainly care for our nephew Yuchi deeply." "If he were truly killed by someone, no matter who it is, our sect would storm out!"
