Great Xia: At the start, summon the Net of Heaven to suppress the martial arts world.

After Xiaoyaozi left, Xia Taige had some free time.

The Zhenwu Division is now on the right track, and Zhao Gao will continue to follow up on the remaining matters.

We don't have the money or manpower to set up a branch right now, so we'll have to wait and see!

The subsequent matters concerning the Cai and Wang families were also handed over to Xiaoyaozi to handle.

Buddhism is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

I just visited the Zhenwu Division yesterday.

Suddenly, Xia Taige found himself with nothing to do.

A stray cat?

I'll do whatever comes to mind! I'll just do it.

Xia Taige immediately went to the garden to find the white tiger!

Just as Xia Taige walked to the edge of the pool, a familiar scent instantly reached the white tiger's sensitive nose.

Suddenly, the white tiger leaped out from among the flowers like a bolt of lightning.

The enormous tiger head was raised high, its eyes clearly revealing an undisguised joy.

While a mythical beast like the white tiger may not be as intelligent as a human, its intelligence is not far off!

At this moment, the white tiger was particularly excited to see Xia Taige. It cautiously poked its head out and gently rubbed against Xia Taige, expressing its affection and dependence on its master in this way.

"Wow~"

Just then, the husky suddenly appeared out of nowhere, glaring at the white tiger with a silly look on its face.

It looked as if it was about to go up and fight the white tiger at any moment.

Seeing this, Xia Taige quickly held the husky down, afraid that the husky might suddenly lose its mind and rush over to feed the white tiger!

The white tiger looked at the fool in front of it with a slight doubt. It stretched out its paw and put it on the husky, which was immediately pressed to the ground and unable to move.

Seeing this scene, Xia Taige was both amused and exasperated.

Given the husky's nature, it has always thought of itself as the boss and the dog as the second-in-command. It's good that it got a lesson now, so that it won't spread the word that the dogs in the Prince Xuan's mansion are all arrogant and domineering!

After being disciplined by the white tiger, the husky obediently lay on the ground, panting heavily with its tongue lolling out!

He showed none of his previous arrogance, leaving Xia Taige speechless.

Calling it a simpleton is an understatement.

With Baihu's strength, he could rival a Grandmaster and might not necessarily be at a disadvantage.

With a husky's small frame, unless its cousin, the Celestial Dog, comes along, the White Tiger's slap probably won't even leave a bone behind!

···

Inside the palace, Emperor Xia, who had just received a report from the Minister of Personnel, looked at the list in his hand with some doubt!

Xiaoyaozi, Deputy Director of the Zhenwu Division!

Who is this?

Emperor Xia looked at Wei Yong with a puzzled expression.

Wei Yong gestured, and could only awkwardly lower his head in reply:

"This servant does not know. Perhaps, like the people from the Zhenwu Division before, they are a hidden contingency plan of His Highness Prince Xuan!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xia glared at Wei Yong and helplessly tossed the list in his hand to him.

Investigate! Investigate thoroughly!

"Let's see what this rebellious son is hiding!"

"Yes!" Wei Yong quickly replied.

The position of Deputy Director of the Zhenwu Division is a high-ranking official of the third rank, and the official seal must be approved by the Xia Emperor before it can be used. The Minister of Personnel does not have the authority to do so.

How could the Xia Emperor not inquire about this suddenly appearing powerful figure?

···

Ancestral home of the Cai family!

Inside the main hall, everyone was still discussing the aftermath of the assassination attempt!

At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed in a white robe suddenly appeared in the main hall.

Upon seeing this, everyone stood up in shock and looked at the person in front of them with solemn expressions!

Master!

These two words came to mind!

Looking at the unfathomable person in front of him, he immediately realized that the person probably had ill intentions!

Just as the Cai clan patriarch was about to speak, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from behind the Cai clan's ancestral land and rushed toward this place!

In an instant, an old man with a youthful face and white hair appeared in the hall, staring at the middle-aged man in white robes!

Upon seeing the newcomers, the Cai family members were greatly surprised and quickly bowed in greeting!

"Greetings, Elder Clan Chief!"

The old man ignored what he heard and continued to stare at the middle-aged man, but his expression became more and more solemn!

After a moment, the old man slowly spoke:

"May I ask who you are? What has my Cai family done to offend you?"

Seeing this, the middle-aged man smiled, looking relaxed and at ease, and said with a faint smile:

"I am Xiaoyaozi, the Deputy Chief of the Zhenwu Division of the Great Xia Dynasty. Greetings, everyone!"

"I have come here on the orders of the Chief to demand a person and an item!"

Upon hearing Xiaoyaozi's words, everyone was stunned, as if struck by lightning, and stood frozen in place.

Only the old clan chief, unaware of what was going on, looked at everyone with suspicion.

Since breaking through to the peak of the Grandmaster realm more than a decade ago, the old patriarch of the Cai clan has relinquished his position as patriarch and gone into seclusion in the ancestral land, intending to break through to the Grandmaster realm and increase the Cai clan's foundation.

For many years, no matter what happened, the old clan chief never stepped out of the ancestral land.

Now, sensing the peak aura of a Grandmaster and realizing that no one in the Cai clan could rival him, he has finally emerged from seclusion!

At the peak of the Grandmaster realm, one is completely beyond the reach of other Grandmasters.

Further ahead, the Grandmaster's peak realm is also known as the Half-Immortal realm.

We've already taken a step into another level!

Seeing that the old clan chief was confused, the Cai clan chief stepped forward and recounted the whole story from beginning to end.

Xiaoyaozi quietly observed the people present, without disturbing them in the slightest.

After learning the whole story, the old clan chief gave the current Cai clan chief and Xiaoyaozi a complicated look.

Some people didn't understand how they dared to offend a government office with a Grandmaster at the peak.

He couldn't understand why he had never heard of such a young Grandmaster before.

The old clan chief sighed slightly, realizing that this matter was somewhat troublesome.

"May I ask who or what you are, sir?"

"One person: Cai Zhiquan, Minister of Revenue!"

"One item, fifteen million taels of silver!"

"Sigh~"

Upon hearing this, the Cai family members gasped in shock.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Before the old clan chief could speak, someone in the crowd shouted.

"Shut up!" the old patriarch roared, and the scene immediately fell silent.

Immediately, the old clan chief looked at the clan chief and asked for his opinion.

Fifteen million was not a difficult sum for the Cai family, who controlled the salt fields of Daxia.

The only one who couldn't accept it was Cai Zhiquan, the Minister of Revenue.

To help Cai Zhiquan ascend to the position of Minister of Revenue, the Cai family gave up an unknown amount of profits to the imperial family.

Now, handing it over is no different from cutting flesh off the Cai family.

When the clan chief saw the questioning look from the old clan chief, he was at a loss for what to do!

If we agree to Xiaoyaozi's demands, the main branch's position will likely be in jeopardy.

But judging from the situation, if we don't agree, the other party won't give up easily.

Seeing that the Cai clan chief couldn't utter a word for a long time, the old clan chief also sighed in disappointment.

He then turned to look at Xiaoyaozi and replied helplessly:

"Sir, after handing over this person and this item, can the feud between my Cai family and the Zhenwu Division be wiped clean?"

"Of course!" Xiaoyaozi replied with a smile.
