Chapter 1531 - 1532: Is the Peak of the Hollow Void Enough?
When Immortals clash, mortals suffer.
Su Chengyu never expected Master Chang Chun to visit in person, let alone to start fighting with Lord Chou upon arrival, leaving him completely unsure of his place in the situation.
Although trembling might be an overstatement, he did indeed feel somewhat superfluous standing there.
"Teacher, I’ll excuse myself for a moment while you and Master Chang Chun catch up," he said.
"Catch up? What do I have to catch up on with him? Both the Heaven Punishment Department and the Imperial Observatory share the character ’heaven’ in their names, but do you think we’re really familiar with each other? Not by a long shot," Lord Chou retorted.
The arrival of Master Chang Chun had clearly made Lord Chou much more active than usual.
Perhaps there really wasn’t much interaction between the two departments, but the two had certainly had private contact.
"That’s not right, Lord Chou. The Heaven Punishment Department has the function of overseeing the Imperial Observatory. Could it be that Lord Chou, always renowned for his impartiality, has changed?" Master Chang Chun teased.
"Get lost! Can I really understand all the things you from the Imperial Observatory do? Only His Majesty and you three are privy to what is truly done; the rest of the world can only guess from the results," Lord Chou countered.
The Imperial Observatory controls the celestial timing, sacrificial decrees, and the direction of a nation’s fate – esoteric matters that are as clear as mud to anyone other than the Heavenly Son, who reigns supreme over all under heaven.
The so-called oversight is nothing more than a joke; who under heaven can truly oversee these three masters of the Dao Sect?
