Chapter 962: The Curtains Draw Open
“If even you say that, then I guess it really is an opportunity.” Su Bancheng chuckled.
He was pretty confident in Chu Wangsun’s judgment because he knew a Confucian Magia known as the “Eye of the Sacred Heart”. Similar in vein to the Buddha’s “Telepathy”, he could feel and hear a person’s true thoughts. At the adept level, he could even influence another’s mind and manipulate them to his heart’s desire. It was an extremely potent Magia to say the least.
Chu Wangsun said suddenly, “I heard that the Qing Emperor and the North Duke Office share a good relationship with each other. If what the woman said is true, aren’t you worried that you might incur your master’s wrath?”
“My master is my master, and I am me. My master may share a good relationship with the North Duke Office, but I share no ties with them whatsoever.”
Su Bancheng laughed. “Besides, didn’t you say it yourself? To spurn the heavens’ gift is to incur their wrath. The mice fight, and the winner takes all the cheese!”
“I should’ve known that you, Su Bancheng, would say something like this.” Chu Wangsun smiled.
“When will you depart?” Su Bancheng asked.
“According to the woman, the North Duke Office is going to travel to the Kṣitigarbha Stupa and retrieve the ultimate treasure on the eighth of August. It’s probably because the eighth of August is a special day of sorts. We have a little over half a month before the eighth of August, which is a fair amount of time. Still, it would be wise to travel there sooner than later to avoid accidents,” Chu Wangsun analyzed.
Su Bancheng nodded in agreement. “Makes sense. I would like some time to investigate the validity of the treasure as well.”
