From Joy of Life to Becoming a Saint

Chapter 84 Then I will give you a credit

Chen Pingping nodded and continued to read the following content without saying anything. After reading all the information, the usually calm King of Darkness, the highest authority in the Inspection Institute, had lost the indifference on his face and frowned with a serious look.

"hehe···"

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Pingping finally curled up the corners of his mouth to reveal an incomprehensible mysterious smile. He held the letter in his hand high, and looked thoughtfully at the light coming in through the small window in the corner.

"The more I investigate this person, the more I find that there is nothing abnormal. But when he is in danger, he suddenly emerges with such a powerful force."

"It's understandable for an Oiran, after all, she's seen a lot of people and knows how to disguise herself, but for a little maid who has rarely left the house, do you think it's possible for such a person to hide her strength for so many years and only reveal it today?"

Yan Ruohai also had a solemn expression on his face.

He shook his head and replied, "In my opinion, it's impossible."

"The little maidservant beside Chen Qiye was called Ye Xiaoling. She was born in poverty. She lost her mother when she was three years old. Her father was a disabled man and died soon after because no one took care of him. Ye Xiaoling was left on the streets and was later brought back to Chen Qiye's mansion."

"Whether it's Chen Qiye or Ye Xiaoling, there's nothing wrong with them. They're probably either spies from other countries planted here, or they're genuine citizens of Qing Country."

"Qin Fei'er is very suspicious. Although she has always been very well behaved, she is most likely from Northern Qi."

The dean asked him to personally take the lead in investigating a little-known person whom no one had ever heard of. Although he had doubts, Yan Ruohai did not delay and did his best to check all of Chen Qiye's relationships.

Chen Pingping smiled and said, "You also judged that Ye Xiaoling could not have such a character. Then how could such an ordinary little maid suddenly become so powerful and defeat a seventh-grade master with just two moves?"

"Is there any need to analyze this... If it's not hidden, then it means that the strength has just been improved."

"The intelligence said that although the two women's attacks were extremely powerful, it was obvious that they had little or no actual combat experience."

Chen Pingping narrowed his eyes and said, "According to the files of the Inspection Institute, Ye Xiaoling was not good at martial arts in the past."

"Ruohai, don't you think that this investigation result is more surprising than finding out that they are spies from another country?"

Yan Ruohai sighed deeply, his expression solemn.

"That's why I came to see you in person."

Chen Pingping was silent for a while, then put down the letter in his hand and looked at the file recording Chen Qiye's life on the table in silence.

After a long while, he said, "Having no problems is the hardest thing to deal with."

"But one thing is certain. This person approached Fan Xian, perhaps with some ulterior motive, but he certainly had no hostility. In fact, he actually looked a bit like Fan Xian."

"Didn't you say you asked Fan Xian and Fan Xian said no?"

"Hehe..." Chen Pingping's smile became softer.

"This child... is not as simple as he looks. He has many secrets in his heart and will not easily tell others."

Yan Ruohai said in embarrassment: "What should I do then?"

"It seems that a hard approach will definitely not work at the moment. We don't know how many cards this man has hidden. Moreover, his own strength alone is extremely difficult to deal with. His strength is close to that of the upper ninth rank, but he was able to fight Yan Xiaoyi for a short time without showing any signs of defeat."

"The weirdest thing is that even Fei Jie's poison has no effect on him. This is really puzzling."

"Now you say he might be Fan Xian's secretive force. In this case, it's probably even more impossible for you to take action against him. But we must give an explanation to His Majesty. What do you think we should do?"

Chen Pingping shook his head and smiled, "Why would you want to deal with them? They haven't broken any law."

Yan Ruohai frowned and said, "How come there is none? Si Lili has not been found yet. To rob someone in front of the Black Cavalry is so audacious and defies the law."

"How can you be sure that he kidnapped Si Lili?"

"I've been searching everywhere for so long but still have no clue. You said he was the one who took Si Lili away. Where's the evidence?"

Yan Ruohai said sternly: "It's not easy to track someone who has taken action."

"But there is no need for empirical evidence. There are only so many ninth-grade masters in the world. It is impossible for so many people to appear all at once. After analysis, Chen Qiye is the most suspicious."

"Although Fan Xian didn't say anything, my people still found some clues. The mysterious man who kidnapped Si Lili secretly looked for Fan Xian several times."

"Si Lili is the only one who knows the truth about the assassination on Niulan Street. Kidnap Si Lili and use the information to trade with Fan Xian..."

"Okay." Chen Pingping suddenly interrupted Yan Ruohai and said solemnly, "Ruohai, as the director of the Fourth Division of the Inspection Institute, I hope you remember that you must rely on evidence when doing things."

"Si Lili was kidnapped right under the noses of the Black Cavalry and Fan Xian. It is impossible for Fan Xian to know the truth about the assassination on Niulan Street."

Seeing the dean so serious, Yan Ruohai didn't say anything more.

In fact, he really wanted to say in reply, you just said that that might be Fan Xian's man. Since he was Fan Xian's man, isn't it reasonable for Fan Xian to know the truth about Niulan Street through this?

But the dean's expression... obviously didn't want him to ask this question, so Yan Ruohai didn't go and get into trouble.

"What does His Majesty say?"

"His Majesty?"

Chen Pingping murmured, "Li Yunrui came in and interfered. Do you think there is no other meaning behind this?"

Yan Ruohai was slightly surprised: "You mean..."

"I didn't say anything."

Yan Ruohai looked in a certain direction, then nodded: "I understand."

"You don't need to worry about what happens next. Go back. I will explain it to His Majesty in person."

"Yes."

Yan Ruohai didn't ask any more questions, just obeyed and retreated.

Soon after...

The Imperial Study Room of the Kyoto Imperial Palace.

Emperor Qing was fiddling with his bow and arrow as usual. Next to him, Chen Pingping was sitting in a wheelchair on the left, and Yan Xiaoyi was standing upright on the right.

Emperor Qing, holding a bow and arrow, shot an arrow. The arrow head collided with the metal of the armor, making a harsh sound.

Then a majestic and deep voice sounded.

"An archer close to the ninth rank..."

"In this world, besides you, there is actually another ninth-grade archer."

"How does his archery compare to yours?"

Yan Xiaoyi clasped his fists and replied, "Your Majesty, although I have fought him twice, he never shot an arrow."

"Although I am absolutely confident that I can beat him, I cannot make a definitive conclusion without a true archery contest."

Emperor Qing pulled up another arrow and said, "Then find an opportunity to compete with him in archery and see who is better."

With a "clang" sound, another arrow hit the center of the armor.

Yan Xiaoyi was stunned: "Your Majesty, how do you compare?"

Yan Xiaoyi had never expected that His Majesty would assign him such a task when he was suddenly asked to compete with Chen Qiye in archery. Judging from the current attitude of the Inspection Institute, it was obvious that they were not going to take action against Chen Qiye.

He had already begun planning how to find an opportunity to avenge His Highness, but now that His Majesty suddenly said this, in addition to being surprised, he was more confused and puzzled.

"hehe···"

Emperor Qing smiled calmly: "I asked you to prove that you are the best archer in the world. How else can you compete? Of course, you have to use all your strength."

Yan Xiaoyi looked at Chen Pingping next to him.

"Your Majesty, what if I kill him?"

Emperor Qing turned around and said with sharp eyes: "Then I will give you a credit."
