Chapter 729

According to Ma Weite's judgment.

That night after the ancestor Romanov entered the palace for a "banquet" with Master, something must have happened!

Together with his father Ivan, they were likely cleared away by Master with thunderous means!

Why didn't Master say it clearly? Ma Weite's thoughts turned rapidly.

That's it, Master must be considering my feelings. After all, Ivan is my biological father, and Romanov is my ancestor.

He was afraid that if I heard this news suddenly, I would not be able to bear it and would develop a grudge.

Master... he is protecting me in his own way, clearing all obstacles for me.

Thinking of this, an extremely complex emotion surged in Ma Weite's heart.

There was a slight instinctive palpitation at the death of his biological father, but more of it was a sense of relief, as well as a surging feeling of gratitude toward Li Chen!

'Master...' he muttered in his heart, his eyes gradually becoming firm, 'Perhaps there are many people in the court who are discussing privately that you are just using me, a puppet emperor, to control Daluo legitimately. But so what?'

'From you, I have gained powerful strength that I didn't dare to think about before; it was you who taught me how to judge people and things, taught me the art of the emperor, and let me truly begin to understand what power is and what responsibility is!'

'Even if this is utilization, it is a utilization that has reborn me and bestowed me with new life and strength! This kind of "utilization" is a thousand times, ten thousand times better than being a timid and precarious puppet emperor for my father and ancestor for a lifetime!'

Ma Weite only had a somewhat weak personality, not stupidity.

He understood the pros and cons of this better than anyone else.

Li Chen gave him dignity, strength, and a future, while Ivan and Romanov only treated him as a chess piece that could be discarded at any time.

As his thoughts turned, Ma Weite already understood how he should handle the matter in front of him.

Since Master chose not to say it clearly, it meant that this matter absolutely could not be made public!

"Imperial Teacher Wizard Ancestor plotted to kill the Daluo ancestor and the former emperor"—once such news spreads, it will inevitably cause a huge uproar.

Not only will it seriously damage Master's image as a "Guardian Deity," but it will also cause the interior of the imperial family, which has just begun to lean toward him, to fall into division and panic again, and even give external hostile forces an opportunity.

Not to mention that Ma Weite is not ungrateful. First of all, not to mention the imperial family, his father didn't treat him as a son, just as a tool puppet. Putting himself in his shoes, how could he treat his father as a father.

However, he had indeed treated Li Chen as a father, even closer than his biological father.

Thinking of this, Ma Weite took a deep breath, his face revealing just the right amount of shock and worry, and said to the captain of the guards kneeling on the ground in a deep voice:

"There is such a thing?! The safety of the ancestor and the former emperor is related to the foundation of the country! You immediately select absolutely reliable and agile people to secretly go to the periphery of the imperial mausoleum forbidden area to investigate! Remember, all actions must be secret, do not disturb outsiders, and report to me directly as soon as there is news!"

This arrangement of his, seemingly actively investigating, was actually full of mysteries.

He ordered an investigation to block the mouths of other people within the imperial family who might have doubts, showing his "importance" and "ignorance" of this matter.
