Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 512 A True Similarity: Swift Blade
"Brother Chu, is this... Senior Fu?" Jiang Buqi opened the door and saw Chu Danqing bringing Fu Ling to visit.

As for Da Bao, he was probably left to protect Li Qingying, which is why he didn't come with Chu Danqing.

"Didn't Chief Jiang tell me to come to you if I had any leads? I found them." Chu Danqing said with a smile, "This old bastard is so angry because I said a few sarcastic things this afternoon that he's trying to break my arms and legs tonight."

"After I captured him, I took the opportunity to ask him about the whole story."

Jiang Buqi looked at Fu Ling, who had no injuries, but was weak in internal energy.

If torture had been used, he might still believe what they got, but how did they manage to get it out of him when he was completely unharmed?

"Let's go first," Jiang Buqi said, stepping aside.

Chu Danqing brought the man in, casually threw him on the ground, and said, "Confess honestly."

But this time, Fu Ling glared and bristled, "Heh, what do you want me to say?"

Only Chu Danqing and Da Bao were there before, and he was afraid of losing his life, so he spoke the truth.

But now that Jiang Buqi is here, Fu Ling doesn't believe he would dare to make a move.
Feeling emboldened, they directly denied everything they had said before.

"Tsk," Chu Danqing frowned upon seeing this.

Jiang Buqi was certain that Fu Ling must have said something before, but now he denied it.

“I’ve said it before, things don’t happen more than three times.” Chu Danqing sighed. “Whether you can’t understand human speech or you’re old and have a bad memory, this is the second time.”

"You have one last chance."

But Fu Ling remained unmoved, giving the impression that he didn't understand what Fu Ling was talking about.

Seeing this, Chu Danqing knew that the other party was determined not to speak.

The staff of seven-colored radiance was raised, and a torrent of five- and seven-colored magical power instantly engulfed Fu Ling.

The opponent died instantly, his body torn to pieces, and he didn't even drop the treasure chest.

I don't know if it's because my strength is too low or I'm waiting for the accumulation to be settled.

The attack power added by the Brilliant Seven-Colored Radiance Staff is 850~1200.

Even if you, a second-rate expert, are stubborn, you can't out-argue Chu Danqing's attacks.

Jiang Buqi hadn't expected Chu Danqing to act so decisively. By the time he tried to stop her, the five-colored torrent had already engulfed Fu Ling.

Even if he wanted to save him, he couldn't.

"Brother Chu, killing him won't change anything," Jiang Buqi said helplessly.

"It's alright, I already guessed that old man's two-faced nature." Chu Danqing chuckled and took out his phone.

He had Da Bao record the video beforehand to prevent this from happening.

He was a modern man, and although most of the trial worlds were of an ancient type, his mind hadn't rusted.

"What is this?" Jiang Buqi looked at the square 'mirror' in Chu Danqing's hand, somewhat puzzled.

"Never mind what this is, just watch it," Chu Danqing said, clicking on the video to start playing.

Da Bao's photography skills aren't great, but he still managed to shoot right up to the face.

They captured Fu Ling's entire being, including his expression as he spoke, in a clear shot.

After the video finished playing, Jiang Buqi fell silent.

He could tell that Fu Ling wasn't lying.

"What do you mean?" Chu Danqing put her phone back into the team's storage space and looked at Jiang Buqi.

“Since the Crown Prince wants to reclaim power, he should just say so. The world is rightfully his.” Jiang Buqi was not a power-hungry person.

"Why should we needlessly take Brother Zhao's life?"

"The rest is fine, but I must go and find my sister-in-law to get to the bottom of this. How could she ignore Brother Zhao's death and instead aid and abet the evildoer?"

Jiang Buqi's anger surged.

He could accept others joining the Crown Prince for wealth and status, since no one had died.

But how could he tolerate the fact that the widow of the only victim in this elaborate scheme was also in cahoots with the murderer?

If he couldn't give him an explanation, he would send this sister-in-law to accompany his "Brother Zhao".

Chu Danqing realized that Jiang Buqi's focus was actually on this, rather than on her own problem.

"And what about you? What are your plans next?" Chu Danqing asked.

Jiang Buqi oversimplified things.

If the Crown Prince were to tell you directly that he's handing over power, even if you do, you probably still won't be able to lead the troops well.

The other party needs someone to make an example of, and Jiang Buqi is a perfect candidate.

Moreover, the crown prince couldn't possibly use such methods directly, since no one would relinquish their power.

The Crown Prince never expected that Jiang Buqi would be so quick to befriend him.

Even after Jiang Buqi relinquishes power, if the Crown Prince were to recruit Jiang Buqi with respect and courtesy, Jiang Buqi would be willing to serve the Crown Prince.

"Since Linjiang Kingdom no longer needs me, I will go to my sister-in-law to ask her what's going on, and then retire from the world and find a place to live in seclusion and farm."

"Of course, before that, let's help you find that opportunity, Brother Chu."

"As long as it's not the Four Heavens Boundless Skill or the Dragon Tiger Great Stance Skill from the Fengyun Gang, I can give it to you," Jiang Buqi said.

Chu Danqing remained silent upon hearing this.

Jiang Buqi has a really low level of political sensitivity.

He thought that retiring from the martial arts world would be the end of it.

The problem is that this is only the beginning and is not over yet.

However, he did not continue to persuade him, because he knew that even if he spoke up, Jiang Buqi would not care about these things.

Instead, knowing the truth relieved him of his burden. And because of this, Chu Danqing's mission progress also accelerated.

Liberate from the five signs of decay (1/5).

Knowing the truth would naturally prevent many subsequent tragedies from happening.

That would definitely mean that Chu Danqing had completed the task.

"Let's talk about these things later. Go find your sister-in-law first."

"She probably hasn't left yet, so let's take care of it all at once."

"But do you know where she lives?" Chu Danqing asked, this was crucial.

“I know, but I would appreciate it if Brother Chu would come with me. If anything unexpected happens, I will have someone to discuss it with,” Jiang Buqi said.

He now trusts Chu Danqing completely.

Therefore, he was afraid that he might act impulsively later, and that Chu Danqing would persuade him that there would still be room for reconciliation.

"Alright, let's go then, and we'll be back as soon as possible," Chu Danqing said. "Dabao and Qingying are still waiting for me at the inn."

Although Chu Danqing carried the Heavenly General Xuan Nu and eighty-one riders as bodyguards, he also had Da Bai, Da Gu, and Da Hua with him.

However, in terms of bodyguards, before the permanent guardian-type summon Wu Xiang is fully developed, Da Bao is still the more professional.

After Chu Danqing agreed, Jiang Buqi immediately took Chu Danqing and left.

He circulated his inner energy and used his lightness skill to leap onto the roof.

"Shall we go up on the roof?" Chu Danqing looked up at Jiang Buqi on the roof ridge.

"Go and come back quickly, it's closer to use your lightness skill to go to the rooftop." Jiang Buqi was a little confused, didn't you say to go and come back quickly?

"Alright." Chu Danqing said and took off, watching Jiang Buqi's figure sprint nearly a hundred meters in just a few steps.

Then they turned back, looking at Chu Danqing's flying speed with some helplessness.

You can fly with your breath, so why are you so slow?
Chu Danqing can fly, but that doesn't mean he can fly faster than Jiang Buqi's light-footed skills.

"Brother Chu, your lightness skill isn't very proficient, is it?" Jiang Buqi said tactfully.

"It's not that I'm not very good at it, it's that I don't know how at all." Chu Danqing isn't a martial artist, so what kind of light-body skills would he know?

Being able to fly is already quite impressive; asking him to keep up with a Tier 2 native powerhouse is asking too much of a summoner.

Jiang Buqi was genuinely surprised by Chu Danqing's response.

Since things have come to this, there's not much to say. I can only take advantage of the situation to bring Chu Danqing along.

The two arrived at a courtyard.

The courtyard was brightly lit, and a figure could be vaguely seen inside from the outside.

Jiang Buqi went to knock on the door and said, "Sister-in-law, I have come to visit you late at night, only to ask for an explanation."

There was movement inside the house, and Zhao's widow opened the door.

"Uncle, please come in. I have been waiting for you for a long time." Zhao's widow wore light makeup and had flowers in her hair.

But she couldn't hide her haggard appearance.

Jiang Buqi did not enter the house, but stood outside the threshold and asked, "Fu Ling has already given his instructions. I will not concern myself with the rest. I only ask why you disregarded Brother Zhao's revenge."

He still knew etiquette; this threshold involved matters of reputation.

"He said it? What did he say?" Zhao's widow frowned.

"Crown Prince," Jiang Buqi uttered softly.

At this point, Zhao's widow understood that Jiang Buqi indeed knew the whole story.

"That person promised me a memorial archway for my chastity and promised my son that he would become the top scholar in the imperial examination."

“My husband is dead, leaving only my son and me, a widow and orphan. We must find a way out.”

“I knew my uncle would come looking for me, but I never imagined I would already know the truth,” Zhao’s widow said softly. “I know the explanation my uncle wants.”

"I only ask that you, Uncle, allow me to return to my roots, is that alright?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Buqi glanced inside the room and saw that a white silk ribbon had already been hung from the beam.

He arrived just in time; otherwise, he might have only found a corpse.

No wonder she dressed up so elaborately; it turns out she was preparing to die.

"Sigh," Jiang Buqi sighed deeply, "Sister-in-law, it's getting late, you should rest early."

“My nephew will become the top scholar in the imperial examination in the future, and he will also need his mother to be filial to him so as to set an example of filial piety.”

"Let my nephew handle the matter of returning to his roots," Jiang Buqi said, ultimately unable to bring himself to kill him.

After saying that, he left with Chu Danqing.

Chu Danqing didn't say anything, because Zhao's widow wasn't lying; she really wanted to commit suicide.

He got the explanation Jiang Buqi wanted.

The Crown Prince's actions, including erecting a memorial arch for chastity and personally appointing the top scholar, are indeed effective in dealing with orphans and widows.

What else can we do? If the widow of the Zhao family and the crown prince really explode, we'll probably find two corpses in a stinking ditch the next day.

"Thank you, Uncle." Zhao's widow bowed and watched the two leave before closing the door.

As for whether the acting was so good that it fooled Chu Danqing, then the other party is indeed remarkable.

"Brother Chu, I'm so sorry to have troubled you to accompany me on my errands tonight," Jiang Buqi said. "But this matter is finally settled, which relieves a knot in my heart."

Chu Danqing was speechless upon hearing this.
