Chapter 670: Royal Family
Qi Xuansu stood with his hands behind his back before a floor-to-ceiling window in a Western-style room, gazing out at the Penglai Pool.
Shen Yuzu, Wan Xiuwu, Yue Liuli, Zhao Fu’an, and Yan Xiu had all met the ends they deserved.
Qi Xuansu considered his vendetta settled, yet strangely, he felt no particular joy, merely a calm, unruffled sense of closure.
There was a saying that a gentleman’s revenge was never too late, even after ten years. But Qi Xuansu felt that after ten years, one’s outlook and mood would have inevitably changed.
Zhang Yuelu approached Qi Xuansu from behind and asked, “What are you looking at?”
Qi Xuansu pointed outward with his chin. “Acting Deputy Hall Master Li is heading to the Yuhuang Palace, with Lord Yun accompanying him.”
Zhang Yuelu was not surprised. “The Taiping Sect has deeply infiltrated the Imperial Court. Among the court officials, the Taiping Sect accounts for the majority. Whether it’s the Green Phoenix Guard, Tianchen Division, or even the Three Naval Forces, their influence runs deep. Many serve under dual leadership—officially obeying the Imperial Court, yet secretly vassals of the Li family. The Junior Imperial Preceptor certainly carries far more weight than I do.”
Qi Xuansu asked, “What’s your opinion of this Junior Imperial Preceptor?”
Zhang Yuelu replied, “If Li Tianzhen is like Donghuang, then Li Changge is like the Holy Xuan. But of course, Li Tianzhen can’t compare to Donghuang, so neither can the latter.”
