I am a living immortal.

Chapter 646 Confrontation

The deputy supervisor of the Tianshi Division shook his head.

"Not really. The Tianjiansi is special. Most of the civil servants are ordinary people."

So with the military officer's strength, what can the civil officials do?

As if sensing Chen Dong's confusion, the deputy supervisor chuckled, "Civil officials are protected by the imperial dragon energy and are immune to all evil. If a military officer dares to draw his sword against a civil official, he's not just facing a single civil official, but the destiny of the entire Han court."

"The higher the grade, the greater the blessing you receive."

"In front of the entire Han court, even a divinely powerful general wouldn't dare confront him head-on, not to mention the pressure from His Majesty. Furthermore, while not all civil officials possess the ability to practice magic and discuss law like the Heavenly Supervisor, they do possess some magical qualities, such as the protection of Wenquxing, or merit, literary grace, and righteous spirit, among other blessings."

"Such a being, with every gesture, can have an impact no less than a military officer."

The deputy supervisor only spoke in general terms.

"The situation is far more complicated than you imagine. You'll know the details when you go and see for yourself."

Chen Dong nodded.

What a magical country.

In fact, Chen Dong wanted to ask if the current emperor was immortal. He didn't ask. From the words of the generals and the people from the Heavenly Monitoring Department, he could hear their admiration for the current emperor, and they were the kind of people who insisted on their word. He would not be so foolish as to ask. He decided to go and see for himself.

The group did not delay and soon set off.

Yanliang was far from the capital, not to mention that it was close to the northern border, making it even farther from the capital. Fortunately, the people present were not ordinary people, and the Zhenbei Army had left precious horses for them.

Traveling a thousand miles a day was no problem, and these precious horses treaded the rugged mountain roads as if they were flat ground, even when wearing armor. Is this really a horse? Could it be some exotic beast?

Chen Dong had guessed correctly, but that wasn't necessarily the case. While a mental lock had sealed most of his abilities, it was still only most, not all. So for Chen Dong, this flash of inspiration wasn't really just a flash of inspiration, but rather an interpretation of the truth.

These precious horses have the blood of exotic beasts and are specially bred as war horses in the emperor's six stables. They are able to fight and run, and their endurance and speed far exceed those of ordinary horses.

Some even have special abilities.

With the help of such a precious horse, the group was able to reach the capital quickly.

.........

The capital, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory.

This is arguably the most mysterious place in the entire capital, aside from the Imperial Palace. It appears to be an ancient courtyard facing south, and consists of four main buildings: the Main Hall, the Stargazing Observatory, the Ceremonial Hall, and the Library.

The main hall is covered with dark glazed tiles, and the ridge ornaments are mostly dragons, phoenixes, celestial horses and other spiritual creatures. Bronze bells hang from the eaves. Inside the hall hangs a plaque inscribed with "Observing the Astronomy and Giving Time", a bronze armillary sphere is set in the center, and the walls are painted with constellations.

The Stargazing Observatory is a high platform built of white stone, with a stepped structure, symbolizing "ascending to the sky and chasing the stars." The Yixiang Hall houses the armillary sphere, clepsydra, bronze horizontal rod, and celestial ruler, used to measure the trajectory of stars and calculate time accuracy.

There is mystery everywhere here.

It was also the most crucial institution in the Han Dynasty. Though of low rank, it had direct access to the heavens. The Tianjian Division was busy with their duties when the voice of an eunuch could be heard from outside the door.

"The Emperor has issued an oral order, ordering the Chief of the Heavenly Guards to come to the palace to see Him."

This eunuch did not enter the Tianjiansi, but instead passed on the message outside the door. His voice was not loud, but he was able to make everyone in the Tianjiansi hear clearly, which was also a kind of skill.

"The minister obeys the order."

A calm voice came from the inner hall of the Tianjiansi.

Neither party met, nor did they go out to greet or kneel to receive the imperial edict. Such a scene was rare in the capital. After all, even the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers were required to kneel to receive an imperial edict except under special circumstances. However, in the Tianjiansi, this was not required. Whether it was the eunuchs or the supervisors, they were accustomed to it and did not think it was anything special.

Shouting from a distance is like child's play, but it also highlights the special status of the Tianjiansi.

The eunuchs also knew that after this sentence was said, the supervisor might have already met the emperor.

Just as the eunuch said.

The Supervisor who was just in the Tianjiansi has now come before the emperor.

"What does your majesty want to see me about?"

Hearing this tone, the figure sitting on the dragon throne did not feel offended: "You might as well make a guess."

"That stranger?"

"Alas, sometimes I really don't know whether your intuition is a good thing or a bad thing. Doesn't this ability to foresee the unknown take away a lot of fun? The world is flat and routine, and it's boring."

Faced with such complaints.

The supervisor said expressionlessly, "Your Majesty, do you want to create some unexpected situations? I can do that for you."

"I didn't say that." A figure in black clothes and red robes waved his hand.

"Let's talk about that stranger. What kind of identity do you think should be given to him?"

"This matter is still for your majesty to decide."

The Supervisor returned the question lightly. Even if he was very familiar with the Emperor, he would not do such an inappropriate thing.

The emperor sighed and said, "Let me change the question. What do you think of that strange man?"

"I believe he is very powerful, but that is based on potential. He doesn't seem to have perfect control over his abilities at the moment, and this requires step-by-step guidance. The power contained within him is too vast, to a level never before seen."

"Of course, the premise is that it is under reasonable guidance."

"He may be a little young now, but he has excellent character and talent. Such a person will surely rise to prominence in the future."

The Supervisor spoke a lot in an eloquent manner, and the meaning was very clear: praise.

In fact, even the emperor appreciated it.

"Then how about you teach me?"

"I can't teach you." The supervisor immediately refused. He didn't want to take on such a troublesome task.

Then he added, "A demon like this doesn't really need to be taught. He's capable of figuring things out on his own. He only needs simple guidance, not excessive involvement. He has his own path, and other people intervening might confuse him. Far from being helpful, it would be counterproductive. I believe he still has to rely on himself."

"You're trying to avoid trouble, so you have a lot of different explanations."

"Every word I said is true."

"Whether it's true or not, you know it in your heart. Maybe what you said is right, but you don't necessarily mean it in your heart. Be careful or I will punish you for deceiving the emperor."

The supervisor said expressionlessly, "I am terrified."

The emperor was so angry that he almost laughed: "Su Can, Su Can, what can I say about you? If not... Oh, forget it."

The Supervisor seemed not to have heard the emperor's hidden meaning: "Then I will take my leave."

"Sit down!"
