My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 432 - 292: Swift Breakthrough [Combined]_3

Da Xia Court, was it delaying time?

But what was the point of that?

The next person was a Third Realm guard.

"Name."

"Zhang Guang."

"Age."

"Thirty-two."

"Cultivation."

"True Qi Realm."

Li Nuo himself seemed somewhat bored and while questioning, he had even drawn the guard's waist knife and was playing with it in his hand.

People were thoroughly bored and no one paid attention to his action.

But at a certain moment, just a second ago Li Nuo was still questioning, and the next second, he suddenly swung the long knife in his hand and fiercely chopped towards the neck of the previous Chief Historian.

Everything happened extremely suddenly, and everyone was caught off guard.

This strike was full of force; if it had landed, it would surely have decapitated the victim.

Could it be, was the Second Prince really killed by Da Xia?

Because the Second Prince was more affiliated with Wei, did they not only want to kill the Second Prince but also the Chief Historian?

The envoys from Liang couldn't even attempt to stop it, let alone have the time to feel angry.

But just then, that young Da Xia officer suddenly let go of his grip and agilely retreated a few steps.

Before everyone's eyes appeared a bizarre scene.

The knife had not struck the elegant man's neck but eerily stopped in mid-air, an inch away from his neck.

And the Da Xia official had clearly let go of his grip.

Inside the embassy, everyone looked puzzled.

Outside the embassy, some high realm Martial Artists from other countries felt a strange power emanating from the body of that historian from Liang.

He had clearly stated that he didn't practice the Martial Path nor had he cultivated in the Hundred Schools, so where did this power come from?

Among the crowd, several figures showed surprise on their faces.

"School of Cross and Vertical?"

"Exactly, a Fourth Realm member of the School of Cross and Vertical, rare, very rare..."

"Interesting..."

"What, he's actually from the School of Cross and Vertical?"

...

Though that young Da Xia official said nothing, he had said everything.

That Liang historian had claimed to be an ordinary person, yet he was able to resist this deadly strike, indicating he had been lying, deliberately concealing his cultivation.

Facing a life-and-death crisis, he simply couldn't control the survival instinct.

And why he wanted to conceal his cultivation invited deep contemplation.

After a few powerhouses from other countries revealed his identity as a member of the School of Cross and Vertical, it inevitably led others to theorize about conspiracies.

For centuries, every time the School of Cross and Vertical appeared, it was accompanied by torrents of bloodshed.

They stirred up chaos among countries for the sake of cultivation, leading to unstable situations, which naturally made them disliked, turning the once highly prestigious School of Cross and Vertical into veritable street rats, despised by all.

A member of the School of Cross and Vertical, who had concealed his cultivation, was found within the Liang delegation.

Needless to say, there must be more to the death of the Second Prince from Liang.

Hearing the discussions outside, even the envoys from Liang looked at that man with eyes full of shock.

Mr. Dongfang was the Second Prince's strategist; it was because of him that the Second Prince had managed in just a few short years to rise from almost nothing to rival the Eldest Prince, and even surpass him slightly.

So he was from the School of Cross and Vertical...

With the capability of a Fourth Realm member of the School of Cross and Vertical, creating a suicide façade for the Second Prince was incredibly easy.

What was his purpose in doing this?

The Left Assistant Minister from the Secretariat still stood stunned.

Things had developed too quickly, and he hadn't caught up yet.

The interrogation was proceeding fine when Lord Li suddenly erupted in an attempt to kill, but although he didn't kill anyone, the knife eerily hovered in mid-air, and then a tremendous uproar erupted outside the embassy...

It seemed the case had been cracked?

Suddenly, his face changed, and he warned loudly, "Lord Li, be careful!"

The face of the middle-aged man flashed with disbelief, and after reacting, a fierce look flashed across his eyes as he grasped the floating knife and violently stabbed at Li Nuo.

But he had only thrust a few inches when his knife, as if restrained, could not advance further. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

At the same time, a tremendous pressure forced him to kneel, immobilizing him completely.

Li Nuo looked at the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground.

Members of the School of Cross and Vertical were adept at manipulating from the shadows but not skilled in combat.

Especially when facing the Confucian and Legalist schools, they had no power to resist.

He had done what needed to be done; now, it was up to the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Judicial Review.

He approached the Left Assistant Minister from the Secretariat and said, "Assistant Minister, I'll leave the rest to you."

The Left Assistant Minister from the Secretariat gleefully nodded and curiously asked, "Lord Li, how did you know there was something wrong with him?"

"It's nothing, just Legalist intuition."

Li Nuo simply explained and said, "I hope that Left Prime Minister keeps his promise."

With that, he turned and left.

Today was supposed to be his day off, and he still had half a day off to take.

In the afternoon, he had arranged to play house with Mumu and Ning'er; lately, he had been so busy that he barely saw them.

Li Nuo walked out of the embassy, and the crowd watching the excitement parted to make way for him.

Upon first meeting this official from the Honglu Si, they only thought of him as a young and handsome man.

Usually, the officials from Great Xia's Honglu Si were elderly.

Unexpectedly, he had such skills.

So many people had investigated for so long with no results, yet he solved the case in just a brief quarter hour.

The envoys from the temporary delegations were not familiar with Li Nuo.

But those who were long-term envoys in Da Xia knew him very well; over the past year and a half, his deeds were almost daily heard, and they began to inform their colleagues from afar.

"What, a Sixth-Ranking Scholar, really?"

"Not just a Sixth-Ranking Scholar, but also a scholar of the highest distinction."

"His father was also a Sixth-Ranking Scholar, but he is even better than his father..."

"He's also very skilled at solving cases; last year, the envoy from Chu Country at the Four Directions Hall was killed, and recently, the extensively involved case in the Eastern Palace of Da Xia was solved by him..."

...

All countries had the Imperial Examination, and they all examined the Six Arts.

Those who entered the official path through the Imperial Examination knew very well what it meant to be a top scholar of the highest distinction.

Not only unparalleled in the past, potentially unmatched in the future too.

In an instant, even the more senior officials admired him.

Among the crowd, a figure stared intently at the departing figure and murmured, "Incredible, the noble person foretold by the great master before his death, could it be him..."
