Chapter 378: Chapter 356: Patch (Seeking Subscriptions) Chapter 378: Chapter 356: Patch (Seeking Subscriptions) After meeting with the Divine Envoy, Lin Rui went to the Divine Envoy Institute to have a private meeting with Luo Wangshu.
Once Luo Wangshu sat down, she let out a cold laugh, “Do you understand the First Divine Envoy’s scheme, little Hao Hao?”
“Disciple understands, the First Divine Envoy wants to plot against the emperor and is also mistrustful of us.”
Lin Rui was of course aware that the First Divine Envoy not only wanted to use Lin Xi to slap the emperor’s face, which would make the court officials recall the Zhou family’s annihilation and strike at the emperor’s popularity; he also intended to use the opportunity to foster animosity towards Lin Rui and his siblings from the emperor, further severing the Third Divine Envoy’s relations with the emperor.@@@@
It could be said that he was killing several birds with one stone.
Thus, although it seemed as if Lin Xi had risen to the skies in one step, becoming a Fifth Rank official upon his first appointment, in reality, they had to pay a certain price.
Hearing this, Luo Wangshu nodded slightly in satisfaction.
The child really was aware of what was going on, which increasingly reassured her.
She picked up an empty teapot, “But I fear that’s not all, the First Divine Envoy’s scheming runs deep.
...
There might be other intentions unknown to us, but for the position of Inspector Supervisor at Chengtian Gate, just let your sworn sister take over.
Although this position appears somewhat insignificant in nature, it depends on whose hands it’s in.”
The nominal authority of the Inspector Supervisor at Chengtian Gate is quite significant.
Not only is it responsible for the gate control at Chengtian Gate and entry management, but also for numerous internal governmental buildings within the imperial city, as well as disaster relief and patrol duties across a large area of official residences surrounding the imperial city.
The problem is that there are too many heads above this position, and many matters simply do not fall under the jurisdiction of the Inspector Supervisor, who is still heavily blamed whenever issues arise.

However, the situation is different if this position falls into the hands of the current director of the Seditious Affairs Bureau’s sworn sister.
If Zhou Yunxi wishes to seize power, few above her would be able to stop her.
At this moment, Luo Wangshu conjured an enormous amount of water from thin air into the empty teapot, boiling it with high heat, and brewed a pot of Shenxin tea.
“This Zhou Yunxi does indeed have formidable talents, and with the Indestructible Danxin Dragon by her side, her prospects are limitless.
You should bring her to the palace to see me one day.”
She poured tea into both their cups, “This will certainly enrage the emperor, but I predict that for the coming period, he should be too preoccupied to pay attention to your sworn sister.”
“Too preoccupied?” Lin Rui’s expression flickered, “Is it the matter with Prince Han and Consort Hui coming to a head?”
For the emperor, that cuckoldry was obviously of much greater importance.
Luo Wangshu did not respond directly, only smiled slightly, “So, whatever you want to do to the Sixth Prince, you can do it now.”
A certain brilliance flashed in Lin Rui’s eyes; he had been waiting for Luo Wangshu to bring up this news.
The affair of Prince Han and Consort Hui committing adultery could only be exposed by his master, Luo Wangshu, without worrying about repercussions from the emperor.
Lin Rui then relayed Zhou Yunfei’s response to his master in detail.
Luo Wangshu was quite surprised; she did not expect Lin Hao to receive a response so quickly.
Luo Wangshu realized the channel Lin Hao had contacted was extremely formidable; from East Asia, it might even reach directly to the heavens.
What was more astonishing was the items promised in this response.
“A Type 8 Etiotropic Enhancer, a Type 8 Combat Dragon Gene Repair Fluid, and an X-Element Injection?
Little Hao, are you sure?”
Luo Wangshu almost lost her composure, her hand inside her sleeve clenched tightly, but eventually, she calmed herself.
— These items were indeed what she wanted, showing the other side had sincere intentions and knew her well.
Luo Wangshu squinted, “So when are they sending them over?”
Luo Wangshu would definitely not rush into gene sequencing, to avoid giving others leverage over her.
Just these three medicaments could greatly enhance her overall strength.
As long as her physical body and strength were further enhanced, she could gain a bit more assurance in suppressing those twelve restless ‘candidate Divine Envoys’.
“They said they’d wait until the first transaction was completed.”
Lin Rui solemnly said, “They don’t care about the size of the first transaction, only asking that it be completed under my guarantee.”
That is, a declaration of intent, meaning to implicate him, the director of the Seditious Affairs Bureau.
Luo Wangshu understood and smiled faintly, “Since the other party’s intentions are so sincere, we also shouldn’t be stingy.
You should quickly select some managers and accountants within the next few days and establish some business firms.
I will organize a supply of twenty million taels of demon silver as soon as possible and trade it to you on credit.”
At that moment, Luo Wangshu changed the subject; “What about Shangguan Tianyi?
I heard you’ve requested this girl to be your personal dragon guard?
This child is a rare Sword Dao genius, a talent not inferior to me.
It’s really such a pity to have her join the dragon guards.
She is now deeply involved with the Ten Thousand Thunder Venerable.
Once she transforms into a dragon, her will shall surely be taken over by the Ten Thousand Thunder Venerable to serve as a vessel for his resurrection.
I heard you even spent a fortune to swap her set for the highest level of Dragon Transformation Elixir, hmm—”
Luo Wangshu suddenly paused, her expression shifting as she looked towards Lin Rui’s forehead, “Could it be that you intend to?”
She did not continue, but Lin Rui understood her meaning and nodded, “Disciple indeed intends to give it a try.”
“Then you must be careful, that item of yours must not be used lightly.”
Luo Wangshu sipped her tea, contemplative, “It wouldn’t hurt to try.
This girl’s Sword Dao is extraordinary, and her bloodline talent is also quite impressive.
If she truly can transform into a dragon, not to mention me, even the Emperor and those two would be very envious.
However, you absolutely must not act near Luo City, and you must set up a comprehensive large-scale array beforehand to avoid detection, which requires considerable resources.”
She then unexpectedly pulled out a large stack of gold notes from her sleeve and handed them to Lin Rui.
Lin Rui sensed briefly and found that the total face value of the gold notes was as high as 50,000 taels.
—This was 50 billion Federation Dollars.
Lin Rui looked up, deeply moved as he gazed at Luo Wangshu, thinking that his master was truly wonderful.
This master had already provided him a way to make a fortune, and now she was even giving him cash, something even his parents had never done for him.
“It’s not from me, it’s the Yuan family from Lu City that asked me to deliver this money to you.”
Luo Wangshu casually smiled, “Yes, just as you thought, it’s Yuan Chengkai’s Yuan family.
They wish to request your favor by asking you to spare them, hoping only for you to judge their case impartially and not to groundlessly associate their family with the Heavenly Demon.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Rui’s brow furrowed deeply.
His grudge with Yuan Chengkai was deep, and without eliminating this man, he couldn’t sleep in peace.
“I didn’t ask you to spare Yuan Chengkai, just the Yuan family from Lu City,” Luo Wangshu gently shook her head.
“The ‘Heavenly Battling Dragon’ that has been worshipped by Yuan Chengkai’s ancestors has already been passed to another.
The Yuan family has given up on Yuan Chengkai, leaving him to your judgment.”
Only then did Lin Rui feel a wave of relief.
As long as he didn’t have to spare Yuan Chengkai, it wasn’t a big issue.
At the same time, he couldn’t help but reflect inwardly—this was the nature of aristocratic families.
At that moment, Luo Wangshu suddenly recalled something, “Right, what was the situation with that group of hired swords today?
What is their relationship with you?”
Lin Rui tensed up and answered solemnly, “Master, I made contact with that group in Wang City.
I don’t know much about them except that they are profoundly skilled, mysterious, and their fees are quite low.
I privately speculate that they might be Heavenly Demons from beyond our realm, and they might even be related to the channel with which I made contact.”
Luo Wangshu smiled, pleased.
She had guessed as much.
These people were likely from the Wang City region, intentionally wanting to connect with her disciple and support him.
She was comforted that Hao didn’t hide this matter from her.
Luo Wangshu took another sip of tea, “You can continue making contact with them, but keep your distance.
Just the regular commission transactions are sufficient.
This is, after all, a strength for you, not to be wasted.”
She heaved a secret sigh, lamenting that her disciple was good in all respects but just too lacking in resources and power.
Unlike her other disciples who had several powerful and wealthy families backing them up, they had no financial worries, so she must pay extra attention and provide more support.
