Do you really think my Heavenly Fate Lineage is something the likes of you can dare covet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Yu released her and revealed a look of disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can't I? If my people hadn't shown mercy today, that Granny Wu of yours would have reached the end of her old life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Granny Wu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Panic flashed through Xiao Qian's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was right! Before she lost consciousness, she had seen that Granny Wu had been no match for that swordsman at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that swordsman had truly wanted to kill her, Granny Wu would never have escaped!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You wouldn't dare!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Yu smiled. \"I wouldn't dare?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qian completely panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Yu had dared to kill Big Brother Ke. He had dared to capture her. He had long since stopped fearing offense to their Heavenly Fate Lineage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what was there left that he would not dare do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, however, Cheng Yu spoke of his own accord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, I can also choose to let you off once, so long as you cooperate obediently.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qian instantly became guarded. \"I will never betray the Heavenly Fate Lineage!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not asking you to betray them. I just want to ask about an outsider. That Mister Cheng stood there and watched as I captured you, which made your Granny Wu worry about you and end up injured.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An outsider who dragged you down. I want to know who he is and what he came here for.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice carried a hint of temptation as a tiny, invisible talisman appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It slowly drifted onto Xiao Qian's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truth-Telling Talisman!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiao Qian listened to Cheng Yu's words, a strange gleam flickered through her widened eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Mister Cheng who had appeared for no reason at all beside her royal father had watched helplessly as she was taken down, even though Granny Wu had told him to protect her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had not been so useless and incompetent, Xiao Qian would never have been heavily injured and captured, nor would she be here now, facing danger and humiliation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anger and blame surged into her heart, and every memory of her own rash disobedience completely vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She made up her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That man definitely harbored evil intentions. There was no harm in speaking of him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is an expert who came to seek out my royal father not long ago. I once heard Father King mention to him that once the matter was accomplished, they would hand over an item to him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Fang had come to search for something together with Prince Qing's Remnants?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder Cheng Zhenjiang had been willing to let members of the Cheng Family involve themselves in this matter. As expected, he had something to gain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this through, Cheng Yu continued, \"What item?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qian went on, \"I don't know either. I only know it seems to be some kind of treasure connected to our ancestor's uprising back then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Qing's rebellion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Cheng Yu heard that, he more or less saw the direction clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, Prince Qing and the others had obtained a fortuitous opportunity and found hope of becoming Grandmasters. They had all stepped into the Grandmaster Realm, then started harboring further ambitions and joined hands to plot the overthrow of Great Qian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That fortuitous opportunity\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was precisely the key reason why Prince Qing's line could produce a Ninth-Rank martial artist every few decades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inheritance from back then could be passed down through bloodline!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And among those who had found that fortuitous opportunity back then was Cheng Yuan, who had failed to seize the position of clan head and, grievously wounded, had fallen into dejection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Qing's rebellion failed, and his descendants fled overseas, surviving only by scraping out a miserable existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other great families had thrown their full support behind Prince Qing and were exterminated to the last member, their inheritances severed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Cheng Yuan had not belonged to the Cheng Family's main line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cheng Family had completely severed ties with Cheng Yuan to protect itself, and thanks to the size and power of the family, it had avoided being targeted by the Jinyiwei at the height of their power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so the inheritance artifact had remained in the hands of Prince Qing's Remnants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that thought, Cheng Yu fully understood Cheng Zhenjiang's scheme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Fang's visit this time was for the sake of obtaining the inheritance artifact and using bloodline to grant the Cheng Family a heaven-sent opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for who it was meant for, that naturally went without saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most important person in the Cheng Family, Cheng Zhenjiang himself, stood at the peak of Ninth Rank and had already walked out his own path. He had no need for such an item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So who actually needed it was obvious enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold laugh rose in Cheng Yu's heart at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a fine father indeed. For the sake of his son, he is willing to risk damaging his reputation just to have his clansmen associate with Prince Qing's Remnants.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not originally been all that interested in interfering in this matter. Now, however, he had no choice but to get involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Qing's Remnants were in Jiannan Circuit, and the inheritance artifact was also in Jiannan Circuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Jiannan Circuit—that was Cheng Yu's territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They dared run into his territory and try to seize something here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dream on!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to take that thing back!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Cheng Yu was forming his plan, someone came rushing over to report, \"Reporting to Thousand-Household Commander! Inspector Xu sent by the court has arrived!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Inspector?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Yu frowned in puzzlement, then suddenly remembered something from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Great Qian Emperor's Imperial Edict, it had been stated that someone would be sent to supervise the investigation into Prince Qing's Remnants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, this was the handiwork of the Moderate Faction at court in its attitude toward the Jianghu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Yu had made too much noise in Dragon Abyss Path, and the destruction of Sword-Forging Manor had shaken all of Great Qian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had clearly become a thorn in the Moderate Faction's side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man sent here was called an inspector, but in truth he had been dispatched to keep watch over him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ridiculous! They're already this weak, and they still have the mind for internal strife. No wonder others trample over them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold sneer rose in Cheng Yu's heart as he decided to go and meet the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already more or less suppressed the Jiannan Circuit Jianghu, and he had even crossed swords with Prince Qing's Remnants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And only now had this man arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Yu very much wanted to see whether this Inspector Xu could be as overbearing here as the Moderate Faction was at court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, Xiao Qian let out a long breath of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That evil thief and monster had finally left!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When facing the other dog-slaves of the False Court, she felt nothing but contempt and no fear at all. But when facing Cheng Yu, she always felt a fear rising from the depths of her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she knew that such cowardice was letting Big Brother Ke down, compared to avenging old wrongs, Xiao Qian would still rather stay as far away from Cheng Yu as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, she would not have to keep suffering humiliation for the moment...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just then, Cheng Yu's voice floated over from where he had already left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For every time she called someone a dog-slave just now, slap her a hundred times. If one of you gets tired, switch out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jinyiwei's eyes lit up. \"Yes, sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qian's bloodshot eyes flew wide open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cheng Yu! I'll kill you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the main hall of the Jinyiwei Thousand-Household Office, Cheng Yu saw an elegant middle-aged man already seated there, sipping tea, nobility seeming to radiate from every inch of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xu Quan saw Cheng Yu walk in, with his extraordinary bearing and the Thousand-Household Commander's token hanging from his waist, he showed almost no reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he lowered his head, took another sip of tea, and only then slowly rose to salute Cheng Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am Xu Quan. By His Majesty's command, I have come to assist and supervise your investigation into Prince Qing's Remnants, Thousand-Household Commander Cheng. I did not expect you to have such fine tea here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Yu sat down in his own seat and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it tastes good, take some with you. It was a gift from the fellow who sat where you're sitting now and drank tea here last time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Cheng Yu treat such fine tea so casually, Xu Quan inwardly felt a trace of disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, he was just a coarse butcher!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, his attitude was better than expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Catching that hint of disdain in Xu Quan's eyes, Cheng Yu smiled and took the initiative to ask, \"His Majesty's Imperial Edict was handed to me long ago, and I have already been in office in Jiannan Circuit for many days. Why has Inspector Xu arrived so late?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Quan showed a smug smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was leaving home to take up my post, so I had to attend farewell banquets with relatives, friends, and former colleagues. Along the way, I also lingered over the scenery of Jiangnan, and so I came a little more slowly. I hope Thousand-Household Commander Cheng will forgive me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he said this as though asking Cheng Yu's forgiveness, his tone was as casual as a jest, without the slightest real intention of apology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was making his attitude plain to Cheng Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Yu lifted a brow. \"And what if I do not forgive you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Quan smiled. \"That would make no difference. I am valued by many great lords at court and carry the official grade of full third rank. Whether you wish to forgive me or not, you will still have to do so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that, Cheng Yu truly smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Important figures at court may value you, but is this the court?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1721,"2026-06-03T04:54:42.394Z","2026-06-03T04:54:48.224Z",1,"novelbin.me","f37377571fcdf1f7ec778709c4e6310563b6859fa2c59aaadc504596aa71e4b7","you-drove-me-out-with-your-hypocrisy-and-now-cry-chapter-120","you-drove-me-out-with-your-hypocrisy-and-now-cry-chapter-118",126,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyou-drove-me-out-with-your-hypocrisy-and-now-cry-cover.jpg"]
