Chapter 203 Multiple Forces
"Cough cough cough!" Xiao Erke couldn't help but cough.
The immense shock left him almost breathless: "The...the Chief Supervisor???"
There is a type of novel about ordinary people in the marketplace that imagines how those dynasties would function if there were no cultivators in the world.
The Imperial Observatory there was merely a place where the emperor would gather extraordinary people and astronomers.
It was a remote department used for observing the stars, calculating agricultural seasons, and divining good and bad fortune.
The Imperial Observatory there had no real power; it was merely a place where alchemists would construct seemingly reasonable excuses for unusual celestial phenomena that were beneficial to the court.
In the Tianyuan Realm, although the Imperial Observatory does not participate much in court affairs, it is a powerful department with real authority.
It manages the most important resource of the Divine Dynasty—the nation's destiny!
The fate of a nation is ethereal and elusive, linked to the dragon vein, yet no one in the Divine Dynasty can escape it.
The Imperial Observatory observed the celestial phenomena and calculated the timing of events, visiting famous mountains and rivers at the appropriate time.
Plant the flags, and with human power, change the world!
If it doesn't rain, the Imperial Observatory will change the date.
There was a plague, so the Imperial Observatory changed the date.
Due to war, the Imperial Observatory was reorganized!
If any mishap occurs anywhere in the Great Qian Dynasty, the Imperial Observatory will intervene from hundreds of millions of miles away.
By remote control, the flow of Qi (vital energy) can be shifted to where the imperial court needs it.
Otherwise, if a place is in chaos and loses the hearts of the people, how can it possibly build up a strong national destiny?
To serve the local officials and enforce their decrees.
It was the Imperial Astronomical Bureau that, operating behind the scenes, continuously manipulated the fate of the nation.
Only then can the super dynasty occupying the central region have enough power to deal with all challenges.
As for the Supervisor, he had already taken over his master's mantle and ascended to sainthood hundreds of years ago.
As a long-established sage, his status is incomparably lofty and unshakeable.
"Why...why didn't you say anything?" Xiao Erke was on the verge of tears, feeling a chill run down his spine.
They actually tried to drive away a saint, and even pushed and shoved him.
If the other party just blows a breath, I'm afraid I'll be finished!
The supervisor smiled like a child: "I wanted to interact with you as an ordinary person, but all I got in return was your coldness."
"I'm not pretending anymore, I'm coming clean!"
"You said only sages can enter, fine, I am the sage of the Great Qian Dynasty, is that alright now?"
Boom!
Jun Youlan's knees buckled, and he suddenly knelt down: "Supervisor, it's this person... It was my disciple who was rude and offended you!"
"But please spare his life, considering he is also a pillar of the nation!"
In terms of official rank, he was higher than the Director of the Imperial Academy.
The Imperial Observatory did not have official ranks; it only had an internal division of labor.
But Jun Youlan wouldn't dare to use his official position to oppress others; he wouldn't dare even if he had ten or a hundred times the courage!
The Imperial Censor controls the fate of the nation; he is the man behind the emperor.
Such a person would say that the Ministry of Rites is an obstacle to good fortune, and that if everyone in the Ministry were killed, the emperor wouldn't even blink!
Jun Youlan wanted to distance herself from Xiao Erke.
But considering that the other party was someone who could write groundbreaking articles, she couldn't bear to give up the title and status associated with him.
He was the teacher of the author of the timeless masterpiece, and it would be a pity to lose that identity.
The supervisor grunted, "Alright, then you shall die in his place."
Jun Youlan was startled, truly startled, and jumped back a large step: "Supervisor—!"
The supervisor chuckled and said, "How could I kill someone?"
Jun Youlan was bewildered by the old man's childlike appearance. After a long while, he wiped away a cold sweat and said with a forced smile, "You flatter me, Supervisor..."
The supervisor said slyly, "Whether I kill you or not, I'll speak to the emperor later and let him decide."
Jun Youlan's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, died completely. His face turned pale, and he said in disbelief, "Supervisor..."
The supervisor grunted, "What did you just say? Luo Hanjiang and Mu Zhilian don't care about the court, they're not court officials, so they can't control you, right?"
"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. Although I don't participate much in politics, I'm still an official, no less."
"I'll fill in, is that alright?"
Jun Youlan opened his mouth wide, but couldn't say a word.
Swish!
He suddenly turned his head and stared intently at Xiao Erke: Didn't you say that Su Yun had no other backers?
Xiao Erke felt a sour taste in his mouth and couldn't speak.
I don't know either, why would the supervisor stand up for him?
It seems I've only heard that... the supervisor wants to obtain some kind of cultivation technique from Su Yun.
In the end, we never even had any contact, so how did he become a powerful backer?
The prison warden walked to the cell with his hands behind his back, winked, and asked, "Kid, are you comfortable here?"
Su Yun tilted her head back and honestly replied, "I haven't moved in yet."
The supervisor glanced at the various comfortable pieces of furniture and said, "Hmm, they don't look bad."
"That averting stone...?"
He got straight to the point.
Su Yun said, "It's with my uncle, but something is being suppressed right now. You can ask him if you don't believe me."
He pointed at Xiao Erke.
Xiao Erke was stunned for a moment, racking his brains before finally remembering that unadorned stone.
He was utterly astonished: "That thing is what the supervisor actually wants?"
"So... Su Yun actually had a deal with the Supervisor!"
Xiao Erke had never met Su Yun and had never had any relationship with a Saint Realm expert.
Who would have guessed that the highly respected Supervisor of the Great Qian Dynasty wanted something that was actually in Su Yun's hands!
If the Holy Land wants something, why not just take it or order it to be handed over?
Why even ask this kid's opinion?!
The supervisor waved his hand and said with a smile, "No need, I believe you. Whatever you say goes."
He was able to remain invincible and have no rivals in the world because he had the fate of the entire Great Qian Dynasty behind him.
However, this strength also has limitations, namely, its power is greatly reduced outside of the Great Qian Dynasty.
However, because he borrowed the National Fortune Divine Token from Su Yun, he broke through the bottleneck and advanced to become a half-emperor.
Even without relying on the Great Qian Dynasty's national fortune, they are now among the top in the entire Tianyuan Realm.
The supervisor was well-versed in the laws governing the flow of Qi, and naturally would not do anything that would kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
The longer such a lucky star as Su Yun is left, the more blessings they will receive.
The supervisor smiled and said, "Since the emperor has allowed you to stay here, you may stay for two days."
"I'll go ask him about it later and find out what's going on."
"Don't worry, young friend, I will go and check on my family. Please don't worry."
Su Yun nodded: "Thank you, Grandmaster Supervisor."
The supervisor liked him more and more as he looked at him, and even pinched his cheek.
This action startled the surrounding officials.
What they're here for today is to use this mischievous child as a pretext to plot against the imperial heir, so they can achieve their own goals.
What's going on now? The Director of the Imperial Observatory, the most important figure in the Great Qian Dynasty, is actually on his side!
Jun Youlan felt dizzy for the first time and almost fell over.
Xiao Erke quickly helped him up, but was frightened by a fierce look in his eyes.
Jun Youlan's heart sank, and she was completely stunned: "How could this happen...?"
Why are there so many forces behind Su Yun?
The academy represents Confucianism, Luo Hanjiang represents the military strategist, and the national teacher represents Taoism.
These things are alright, since they are not in the imperial court or do not concern themselves with its affairs, they still have the upper hand.
But the emergence of the supervisor completely changed this situation!
Although the supervisor often used Taoist magic, he was actually a government official at heart!
