Chapter 395: You Wanna Pull Rank? Ok

Argh!!!

Suddenly, Sick Scholar let out a bloodcurdling scream. Countless Gut Worms were pouring out of the hole in his chest and his bloody stump of an arm, and they were all moving toward Ye Qing. As a result, Sick Scholar deflated like a balloon in just the blink of an eye.

Ye Qing frowned a little and stomped the floor, burning all of the Gut Worms heading toward him. By the end of it, Sick Scholar was literally just skin and bones, dead.

I see. He brought this upon himself. Ye Qing sighed when realization struck him.

There were many benefits to practicing the Feed The Worms Art using the Stomach Worm and Gut Worm, but it also had a fatal flaw. If the practitioner lost the Stomach Worm for whatever reason, then the Gut Worm would rebel and consume them alive.

If Sick Scholar reached the adept level before that point, then this wouldnt be an issue. But since he didnt, well such was the fate of a man who chose to walk the razors edge for power.

Pah! He deserves this.

Honestly, he shouldve suffered more.

Yeah. If it wasnt for our hero here, we would have fallen for his evil scheme hook, line and sinker.

Speaking of which, thank you so much for saving our lives, hero.

Thank you, hero.

We will never forget what youve done today, hero.

If you dont mind, may we know your name, hero? Im sure that some of us would like to pay back the favor in the future.

No one was saddened by Sick Scholars death, of course. If anything, it was the best damn thing they had seen since their day suddenly turned to shit. After they were done cursing Sick Scholar, they turned to Ye Qing and gave him their thanks.

Youre welcome, everyone. I just happened to be at the right place at the right time.

Ye Qing didnt take their words of gratitude seriously, of course. The large majority of them didnt actually mean what they said. They just didnt want to look ungrateful was all. Frankly, expecting true gratitude from jianghu warriors was like expecting your first love to be requitedquit dreaming already, brother.

In fact, Ye Qing sensed a couple of people slipping out of the back door after their Gut Worms were dealt with. If he wasnt mistaken, they were the ones who attempted to incite their jianghu brethren into war with the Intelligence Department.

Chu Renhe was no weakling, so he sensed the same thing as Ye Qing did. He secretly ordered Tang Chuan, Yu Shi and Luo Changbing to deal with them.

Those people couldnt resist Sick Scholars Gut Worms, so they most likely hadnt entered the Spirit Purification stage yet. Ye Qing had no doubt that Tang Chuan, Yu Shi and Luo Changbing would destroy them without any problems whatsoever.

Ye Qing didnt pity them, however. Sick Scholar deserved to die, but these people were not far behind. If he hadnt stepped out, this incident most likely wouldve resulted in unnecessary conflict and bloodshed.

There were several reasons he decided to step up. One, he recognized the Gut Worm and was fairly confident that he could deal with it. Two, it wouldve been a disaster had the two sides fought. He wouldnt be able to pluck himself out of the shitshow, and if the Intelligence Department labeled him a traitor or something, then even he, a Patrolman of the Pacification Bureau, would be in quite the conundrum.

That was just the kind of power the Intelligence Department wielded.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

After nearly everyone in the restaurant was gone, Chu Renhe walked up to Ye Qing and asked, Well handled, brother. May I inquire into your name and background?

How would I know? You should ask him, not me.

Ye Qing sighed and let out a bitter chuckle. Look, it really is an accident. Ive never even heard of a Killer Monk until today, and Ive just arrived at Tian Yong two days ago. You can check it if you dont believe me.

We will look into the matter. If you are innocent, then you wont be harmed. Chu Renhe said calmly and forcefully, But for now, youll have to come with us.

Just in case you think were targeting you on purposeeven though it is a fact that youre more suspicious than mostwere not. Everyone in this building will be taken into custody for questioning.

And what if I dont go with you? Ye Qings smile didnt reach the eye. Im fairly sure you dont have the strength to stop me.

Chu Renhe asked coldly, Are you resisting arrest? Do you know what happens to those who make an enemy out of the Intelligence Department?

Do tell, Ye Qing said fearlessly.

If youre against the Intelligence Department, then youre a rebel. If youre a rebel, you will be exterminated to the nine generations. Its not just you either. Your friends, families, neighbors and more will be implicated as well.

Chu Renhes cold eyes turned cruel and bloodthirsty. Ye Qing even spotted a glimmer of excitement amidst the emotions. Would you like to give it a try?

Ye Qing scoffed, A rebel? Straight for the capital offense, huh? But I doubt even the Intelligence Department has the power to make that decision!

That is where youre wrong. Outside of Chu, our eyes and ears are everywhere. Inside Chu, we are the law itself. Chu Renhe said slowly, If I say that youre a good citizen, then youre a good citizen. If I say youre a rebel, then you are a rebel.

No wonder they say that the Intelligence Department is fair and righteous. Ye Qing said sarcastically. The Intelligence Department was literally more tyrannical than the Pacification Bureau.

And you better remember that. Now come on. Chu Renhe knew that Ye Qing was being sarcastic of course, but he didnt mind. Once they returned to their headquarters, he had all the time in the world to make him eat his words. He would learn to keep his mouth shut and stick his nose well out of the Intelligence Departments business.

So sorry to disappoint you, but Im on official business myself. Im afraid I wont be able to oblige with your demands. Ye Qing sighed. In the end, it had come to this.

Hmm? Official business? Chu Renhe was caught off guard by this. Who are you?

I am the Patrolman of the Luo Shui Pacification Bureau, Ye Qing, Ye Qing introduced himself. Well met, Lord Chu.

Youre a member of the Pacification Bureau? Chu Renhes eyebrows rose imperceptibly.

The Intelligence Department and the Pacification Bureau were both departments that only answered to the emperor. Generally speaking, they rarely interacted with each other because their scope of work was different. However, two siblings could turn on each other for the family fortune, and two tigers definitely couldnt share the same hill. It was why the Intelligence Department and the Pacification Bureau shared a poor relationship with each other.

On the surface, it looked like they were all one big family. But beneath the waters, it wouldnt be surprising if one department stabbed the other in the back. Of course, they werent at the point where they were waging an all-out war against each other, but honestly, that point wasnt too far away.

Yessir, this is my badge. Ye Qing handed over his badge to Chu Renhe for inspection.

Chu Renhe asked after glancing at the badge. What is the Patrolman of Luo Shui doing in Tian Yong?

My boss ordered me to participate in the Hidden Dragon Meet, Ye Qing answered.

The Pacification Bureau Ye Qing Chu Renhes pupils contracted suddenly as if he just recalled something. Are you the Qing Emperor Junior, Ye Qing?

Excuse me? Ye Qing exclaimed in surprise. What the fuck is that nickname?
