Chapter 818: Chapter 822 Personal Protection for Knowledge Saint Honor

Chapter 818 -822 Personal Protection for Knowledge Saint Honor

The Knowledge Saint returned to her own residence and tried to use her foresight to glimpse into future events, but each time she concentrated, a Crimson Sword seemed to appear in front of her brow, as if it was about to pierce between her eyebrows!

Mi Qingqian shook her head helplessly.

That incident had already left a shadow in her heart, and it would likely be difficult for her to use the Prophet’s abilities anytime soon.

She walked towards Mi Rong’s balcony, intending to discuss some matters with her.

As soon as she reached the courtyard, she heard Mi Rong’s laughter. Mi Rong was kind-hearted and simple, but not absolutely foolish or naive. The Knowledge Saint had watched Mi Rong grow up, yet it had been a very long time since she had heard such a hearty and joyful laugh from her.

Upon entering the courtyard, the Knowledge Saint saw Mi Rong chatting leisurely with a man. The man was cultured and elegant but also had a sense of ease and free-spiritedness. How he spoke was utterly different from the majority who came to please and flatter others—natural, witty…

The Knowledge Saint observed for a while.

The man was none other than Zhu Qingzhuo, the Sect Master of the Building Dragon Sect who had stood up for Mi Rong at the banquet table against Saint Hua Chong. Zhu Qingzhuo, Yang Bing, Li Wangshan, and others had all been staying in her residence, helping to mediate conflicts between the Big Sects. Xuange Country Capital was short on manpower, and these few had indeed been a great help. In situations that required the presence of a True God to maintain order, Little War God Yang Bing and a few other Sect Masters had indeed played a crucial role.

Of course, during this period, the Knowledge Saint had also gotten to know the Sect Master of Building Dragon Sect a bit better.

This man’s strength was deeply concealed; even Little War God Yang Bing addressed him as an equal and with great respect. And as for the only time he had made a move, the Knowledge Saint had only seen a dazzling Heavenly Slaughter Dragon he had summoned, a creature that was at least at God Son Level.

Demi-gods and Quasi-god levels accounted for the vast majority in this Leader’s Conference, while those above God Son Level could be counted on one’s fingers.

The Knowledge Saint truly hadn’t expected that this Sect Master Zhu Qingzhuo turned out to be a Godson.

Mi Rong was very warm towards this man. The Knowledge Saint didn’t suspect anything. After all, this man had blocked an enraged Saint Hua Chong at the table for Mi Rong’s sake.

“Mi Rong,” the Knowledge Saint walked over slowly and called out softly.

“Teacher! You’re back. What about Flowing God? Is he dead or has he been utterly castrated??” Mi Rong stood up to greet her.

“The latter is more likely. The perpetrator must have hated Flowing God to the bone and wanted to torment him slowly,” the Knowledge Saint said.

“For someone like him, it would be a pity to let him die too easily…” Mi Rong commented.

The Knowledge Saint glared at Mi Rong.

Mi Rong stuck out her tongue and dared not continue.

“I have told you many times, even if you’re dissatisfied with a certain god in your heart, you must never show it. Disaster comes from careless talk, and spirits are always overhead listening,” the Knowledge Saint cautioned.

“I know, teacher. Is there something important you want me to do?” Mi Rong quickly changed the subject.

“There is something I need to verify, but something tells me there may be danger. I need you to inquire with a few Saints and Holy Monarchs to see who has time to accompany me,” the Knowledge Saint stated.

“I’ve just talked about this with them. Including War Saint, other Saints and Monarchs have been assigned to crucial matters by Our God. They might not be able to follow you. Our Mi Mansion’s strong ones are also dutifully at their posts. I can arrange for a few to come back…” Mi Rong said.

The Knowledge Saint shook her head, “The formal meeting is about to begin. Let them stay at their posts. Maybe I’m just being over-cautious. I will be going with people from the Tian Shu God Manor; they should be able to protect me thoroughly.”

“Teacher, how can this be? Saint Hua Chong treated you so poorly and would love to exclude you from this leadership of the conference. How can you entrust your safety to them? Let Yang Bing accompany you; Yang Bing is definitely more reliable than they are!” urged Mi Rong.

“Yang Bing has had some insights recently and plans to seclude himself for several days to cultivate. If the Knowledge Saint trusts my words, I, Zhu Minglang, would be very willing to accompany you and ensure your safety,” Zhu Minglang offered with a smile.

“Right, Big Brother Zhu Minglang can also take up this role. Big Brother Zhu Minglang is very strong!” Mi Rong immediately nodded in agreement, wholeheartedly endorsing the idea.

The Knowledge Saint hesitated, observing Zhu Minglang.

As a Prophet her own combat strength wasn’t great, and she didn’t like having martial artists accompany her, so her residence did not have many high-level experts. However, with the leader’s conference being convened, her personnel turned out to be insufficient. In an unexpected situation like the current one, it was difficult to find someone at the God Son Level to accompany her, after all, each one at the God Son Level had their own responsibilities to bear…

“But Master Zhu is still on the list of suspects of Tian Shu God Manor,” the Knowledge Saint said.

“I’ve confronted the Sacred Head, so being on the suspect list—or him pinning all the blame on me—doesn’t surprise me. Yet, this is Xuange Country Capital, not Hua Chou God City. Knowledge Saint, if you let the Sacred Head handle everything, it will only complicate matters. All the leaders are resentful now. A few days of martial law isn’t a big deal, but if it continues like this, they would rather stay in their own territories comfortably than join this busy conference,” Zhu Minglang explained.

These past few days, Zhu Minglang had been closely watched.

Although he could find ways to get away, it would be difficult to clear himself if Saint Hua Chong intentionally troubled him. Therefore, there was no need to give Saint Hua Chong any more leverage against him.

Zhu Minglang wanted to go out, so as soon as he heard that the Knowledge Saint Honor recently needed someone for personal protection, he immediately stepped forward and volunteered!

“Indeed many unpleasant incidents have occurred lately, and moreover, this is Xuange’s first time convening the Leader’s Conference; some matters can’t be completely covered,” Knowledge Saint Honor expressed, tiredness and helplessness visible in his eyes.

“That day, seeing Saint Hua Chong’s attitude towards you, I felt that he was not satisfied with you presiding over the conference. This castration of Flowing God, it could very well have been his doing, just to create a nasty incident and seize the power of controlling the conference from you. So, Knowledge Saint Honor, you should be even more concerned for your personal safety,” Zhu Minglang said.

“That possibility can’t be ruled out. Then, Master Zhu, I’ll be troubling you,” Knowledge Saint Honor nodded, naturally agreeing to Zhu Minglang’s proposition.

“Don’t mention it, I actually just wanted to get some fresh air.”

“…” Knowledge Saint Honor couldn’t help but smile; this Sect Master Zhu was quite candid.

With Flowing God castrated, there were no supervising forces or experts left to protect Knowledge Saint Honor.

In truth, Mi Rong had discussed this matter with Zhu Minglang earlier and was even more inclined to arrange for Zhu Minglang to be by Knowledge Saint Honor’s side.

With Mi Rong’s recommendation, the success of this arrangement was highly likely, as Mi Rong was also well aware of Knowledge Saint Honor’s current predicament—having to stabilize the order of the God City while fending off the aggressive Saint Hua Chong.

“Big Brother Zhu, you must take good care of my teacher,” Mi Rong said to Zhu Minglang, blinking suggestively.

“Consider it compensation for injuring her vitality; I will definitely protect your teacher,” Zhu Minglang responded.

“That Flowing God, castrated just splendidly. He always found excuses to get too close to the teacher, his eyes just like a rat spirit’s when it spots delicious rice, extremely terrifying. I truly don’t feel at ease with such a person following my teacher,” Mi Rong added.

“Regardless, at least now I can leave the mansion with clear conscience,” Zhu Minglang nodded.

…

Freedom to come and go was secondary; Zhu Minglang was primarily concerned about the safety of that recklessly bold castrator.

For some reason, Zhu Minglang had a strong premonition that the person who did this was someone he knew.

The True Gods of Tianshu aren’t all pushovers, and Zhu Minglang felt that without the presence of a True God’s righteous aura, he would probably have been exposed as the killer of Sparrow Wolf God upon stepping into the Xuange God City.

The person who castrated Flowing God, though completely out of sight, and even using methods similar to the Poison Rune Dragon, left some clues behind. For instance, how she managed to place the tea kettle of the Poison Rune Dragon into Flowing God’s room. She must have had previous contact with the brow-skilled girl; following these threads could lead to finding her.

At this moment, what Zhu Minglang was most worried about was the situation of the bold castrator. It was best for him to infiltrate the investigation and understand just how far Tianshu God Manor and Xuange Temple had gotten in their inquiries, so he could help the fierce castrator escape when critical.

“Miss Yu Suo, you really went in heavy-handed,” Zhu Minglang muttered with a wry smile.

He hadn’t yet had a chance to act against Flowing God, but his younger sister-in-law had pre-empted him, and her attack was so vicious that Zhu Minglang didn’t know why he felt as though he had escaped a catastrophe…

He had teased her quite a few times in the past.

How many times had he narrowly escaped such a castration???

From now on, he must hold a sense of reverence towards his younger sister-in-law!!

…

…

As night fell, Zhu Minglang followed Knowledge Saint Honor to the Xuange Temple.

In Xuange Temple, many had been replaced by people from Tianshu God Manor, who were clearly eroding the control of Knowledge Saint Honor and trying to render the people of the temple powerless.

Knowledge Saint Honor also saw this, but instead of clashing directly with Saint Hua Chong, it was unclear if she had another plan, or if her nature was simply more pliable. Zhu Minglang wasn’t too sure.

“Why is he here?” Saint Hua Chong spotted Zhu Minglang at once, his face showing displeasure.

“With Flowing God injured, I have no experts for protection, so I invited Sect Master Zhu to accompany me,” Knowledge Saint Honor answered.

“He is a prime suspect for us in Tianshu God Manor, possibly the murderer of Hua Dongming. How can we allow such a man to appear at our internal deliberations?” Saint Hua Chong obviously had strong objections to Zhu Minglang.

“Saint Head, please do not make such conclusions without evidence. It is an undeniable fact that Pang Wolf of Flaunting Heaven Peak called many leaders to block Hua Dongming in Grand Rain Rainforest. If any suspicion is to be cast, surely it is on Pang Wolf, how could it possibly be Sect Master Zhu. Moreover, can your men truly guard someone like Sect Master Zhu? Instead of confining him in my mansion, it is better to let him follow by my side and keep an eye on him personally,” Knowledge Saint Honor countered forcefully rather than submitting this time.
