Chapter 341 Heart Like Flowing Water: True or False?
Several minor officials stood in the main hall, their faces ashen, heads bowed as they looked at their shoes, silently lamenting their misery.

Why did it turn out to be my turn to be on duty here today?

This Su Lixing is something else. If Madam Xie tells you to eat, just eat. Why say it in front of so many people?

If these matters concerning Chief Secretary Wang's family were to reach our ears, even if we managed to keep them from spreading, we would still get a beating from Chief Secretary Wang.

As Li Yizhen listened to Su Che slowly recounting the events, he hadn't even finished talking about Madam Xie's meal in a quarter of an hour, and her displeasure was already evident on her face.

The Imperial Censor of You never paid attention to methods or approaches when handling cases.

The Imperial Censors in the Censorate are mostly of the sixth rank or above, and the top ones are all experts in the Rejuvenation Pill realm with unique skills.

Take Li Yizhen as an example. He usually doesn't need to ask questions. He can just send a poisonous Gu into the criminal's heart, causing his internal organs to shift and his viscera to churn, so that he will naturally ask all sorts of questions.

Xiong Shou, on the other hand, used the Xuanmen's methods of attacking the soul directly, and even things that the criminal had forgotten could be brought up under the Xuanmen's methods of cleansing the soul.

Witness testimony and physical evidence? Circular reasoning?
Sorry, such a thing does not exist.

But since they ran into Xiao Su today, Li Yizhen and Xiong Shou's methods were useless.

In terms of status, this is a spoiled brat from the Su family of Duling, with Old Su standing behind him, so he's not afraid of your tiger skin at all.

In terms of cultivation, we are both at the Core Formation stage. Although I have already refined the Core Formation, Su Che is only the pivotal figure. But he has not been convicted yet. If you use those methods, isn't that the same as a direct fight?
Li Yizhen now regrets not bringing a few experienced officials skilled in criminal matters to help with the questioning, instead letting Su Che beat around the bush, calling her "Madam Xie" this and "Madam Xie" that.

He had no interest in the petty theft and other underhanded dealings among the powerful and wealthy families.

Even if you, Su San, slept with Wang Jian's wife and knew everything about her, what does that have to do with the disappearance of the Prince of Wuling?

"Su Lixing, what's the point of you going around in circles like this?"

Li Yizhen coldly looked at Su Che: "If you're willing to ramble on and on, I'm patient enough to keep you company. If you keep going on and on for a month, we'll surely get you to see the Prince of Wuling, right?"

"Cough, cough."

Xiong Shou suddenly ended his escapade of meditation and spiritual travel with a cough.

Li Yizhen turned to look at her colleague, wondering what he was up to.

They weren't exactly old friends, but on the surface, they got along quite well while working in the Censorate.

Xiong Shou's eyes swept over Li Yizhen's hand, and when he looked down, he noticed that Huang Yu's eyes were blazing with fire.

lie.

Li Yizhen snorted.

He certainly didn't have the time to go around in circles with Su Che.

Asking questions and dealing with things as soon as possible is what they're asking of them. They really don't want Su Che to keep dragging things out like this.

Things have mostly calmed down on Huang Tiandao's side. Is it possible that when Yu Lizi comes down, he will find that his disciple has already gone to jail?

Even if Old Su is domineering and tyrannical, Little Su is not the only son of the Duling Su clan. He has two older brothers, and his family background allows him to negotiate with Old Su.

How can we explain to such a great sect of esoteric Buddhism that we crippled Huang Tiandao Changsheng Zhenren's disciple in front of them?
Li Yizhen was originally a rogue cultivator, and he understood better than those who wanted Su Che dead what a Longevity True Person of a major Xuanmen sect meant.

No matter what fate awaits Su Che, this matter must be dealt with quickly.

"Yellow carp".

Su Che looked at the strange beast in Li Yizhen's palm. Although its eight strange eyes looked quite ferocious, its round, gourd-like appearance was strangely cute.

"These strange beasts can distinguish between true and false human speech, but how can one determine if something is true?"

Su Che looked at the yellow carp in Li Yizhen's hand and suddenly said.

"Imperial Censor Li wants to kill me."

The yellow beast stared at Su Che with its eight round, strange eyes, looking completely bewildered.

"So that's how it is. Imperial Censor Li really wanted to kill me."

Su Che looked at the Imperial Censor Xingyou sitting upright in the hall.

“Since that’s the case, what are we waiting for? Taking my life is simple; we can just find a secluded place and have a showdown.” Su Che looked at Li Yizhen and said, “Anyway, the censor is already determined to kill me, so what difference does it make whether I answer or not?” Xiong Shou looked embarrassed, while Li Yizhen narrowed his eyes sharply.

"Why feign madness, Su Lixing? If I wanted to harm you, why would I be questioning you in this very hall?"

In this case, Imperial Censor Li wronged Su Che, and Su Che also wronged Li Yizhen.

In terms of the length of his cultivation, Young Master Su's time has truly been short. Much of his knowledge and skills came either from books or from the oral and personal instruction of the Yin-Yang Dharma King.

This yellow carp is a rare species from the Western Regions, seldom seen in books from the Central Plains. Furthermore, the Yin-Yang Dharma King focuses on transmitting the Dharma and resolving difficulties in cultivation, rarely paying attention to such minor details.

"The Yellow Carp distinguishes truth from falsehood through the method of questioning the heart. It questions the heart itself. If the heart confirms it as true, then it is true in this case; if the heart confirms it as false, then it is false in this case. It is not the true nature of things. Otherwise, wouldn't it be wonderful if I raised a Yellow Carp and talked to it every day about how to enter the fourth-grade Void Step realm, until its little eyes stopped gleaming with fire?"

Xiong Shou stepped in to smooth things over.

This censor, who came from Yuyang Mountain, probably realized that both sides had misunderstood each other.

Su Che did not understand the principle by which Huang Yu distinguished between truth and falsehood. In fact, most of the so-called methods of "distinguishing truth from falsehood" in this world are essentially about questioning one's own heart. If even one's own heart can be deceived by an adversary, then there is no way to do it.

Li Yizhen didn't believe that Su San Gongzi was unaware of the operating principles of this method of discernment and was deliberately causing trouble.

The two sides already disliked each other, and now they've completely broken off relations, causing a huge commotion.

At this moment, even though Imperial Censor Xiong originally wanted to stay out of it, he had no choice but to step forward and try to smooth things over. He couldn't let these two high-ranking officials of the imperial court and experts at the Rejuvenation Realm actually find a place to fight each other.

Even the most despicable gangs in the martial arts world wouldn't make such a fool of themselves.

"You're just using this thing to look at something novel, aren't you?"

Su Che looked at the yellow carp in Li Yizhen's hand, wondering what it looked like and what its meat tasted like.

"Humph."

Li Yizhen simply snorted coldly: "Li Xing, you may argue all you want. I will report this to the court and then strike with lightning speed. Su Li Xing, don't regret what you've done today."

"Ask your heart."

Su Che shook the beautiful fan in his hand: "The heart is like flowing water. Today it may wander leisurely among the mossy rocks in the valley, but tomorrow it may flow eastward into the sea and return to the waves. A person's thoughts in the morning may be completely opposite to his thoughts at night, so what is there to ask?"

"Imperial Censor Xiong comes from the orthodox lineage of Taoism."

Su Che subtly pointed at Li Yizhen, who was indeed a practitioner of unorthodox Zen Buddhism.

"You should know that the so-called method of refining the soul, breaking through the mind, and modifying one's own memories is never just empty talk. Sometimes when I wake up, I feel like I am not Su Che, but someone else."

As Su Che thought about this, he couldn't help but use a method from the Yin-Yang Dharma King's Nine Nether Reincarnation Technique. Under the personal guidance of the Yin-Yang Dharma King these past few days, he had made even greater progress.

The true meaning of the Future Star Tribulation Sutra was further activated.

As he spoke, he extracted and sealed away the memory of his meeting with the Prince of Wuling, keeping it outside his divine sense.

Under this manipulation, Su Che felt as if his mind had gained another perspective, as if he had transformed into an ancient Buddha who roamed beyond time, quietly observing him from a transcendent point of view.

He was still Su Che, but at this moment he had surpassed Su Che.

"I have never met the Prince of Wuling."

After Su Che finished speaking, Li Yizhen and Xiong Shou looked at the yellow carp in their palms in surprise.

The docile beast blinked, seemingly a little tired.

As Su Che spoke, he brought that memory back to him.

“I have met the Prince of Wuling.”

The yellow carp yawned this time; it was really sleepy.

Su Che picked up the beautiful folding fan and pretended to poke the cute little guy.

“Imperial Censor Li, this thing of yours seems to be broken.”
