Chapter 442 Preparation
A chilling aura of killing intent permeated the room, adding an oppressive atmosphere to the space.
The scholars from the Shi family were also shocked. Who could have killed three Hanlin scholars and one Juren? And how dare they do it so boldly, right around the Shi family?
"Who did it!"
Shi Tianze's face was filled with murderous intent as he asked in a stern voice.
"This humble servant does not know, but I do know that the news has been confirmed: it was Young Master Shi Yu and Xue Hanlin who died..."
The man lowered his head, barely daring to breathe, and spoke softly.
"Master, please calm down. Logically speaking, Young Master Shi Yu, who holds the power of history and the pen of history books, should not have been defeated by those few Yanhuang people."
"Although the other side has three Hanlin scholars, the leader is only a Xiucai (a lower-level scholar). Even if Young Master Shi Yu is no match for them, he can easily escape."
An older man frowned and said softly.
"If it wasn't those few Chinese, who do you think it could be? The murderer must be found! Did my son die in vain?!"
Shi Tianze slammed his fist on the table, shattering it into pieces. He then walked towards the door, but as he stepped inside, he abruptly turned and said coldly:
"Find out where those people are now. We absolutely cannot let them get away with this. Better to kill a hundred innocent people than let one guilty person go free!"
The sound filled the house, sending a chill down the spines of everyone present.
They knew their patriarch was ruthless, and now that such a thing had happened, anyone connected to him was undoubtedly implicated.
While the Shi family was in a state of great alarm, the Qian family was also greatly surprised.
"Where did you go? Why are you only coming back now? We didn't catch those men in black. Sorry."
When Qian Wensong saw Ye Ru and the others return, he said with an apologetic expression, after all, the incident happened in their residence, and the target was none other than Ye Ru and his group.
The other party has helped me so much, but I can't help them catch the person who hurt them. It's just not right.
"It's alright, we're all safe and sound now. Brother Qian, please rest. This matter has nothing to do with you. We'll be leaving after tomorrow."
"As for the documents and inkstone tomorrow, I will arrive as scheduled."
Ye Ru smiled slightly and said that he could not stay here for much longer. If he stayed here for too long, it would inevitably arouse suspicion from the Shi family, and might even implicate the Qian family as well.
The literary gathering of scholars has not yet begun, so for now, we must avoid the people of the Shi family no matter what.
Although killing Shi Yu was simple, what followed was the most difficult part.
However, Ye Ru did not regret it. If Shi Yu hadn't come to kill him, everyone would have been safe and sound. But since the latter had taken action, Ye Ru proved that he was not someone to be trifled with.
"Leaving after tomorrow? Could it be that our Qian family has failed to provide adequate hospitality?"
Qian Wensong felt a chill run down his spine, then said seriously.
"No, this has nothing to do with you or me. It's just that I'm forced by circumstances, so please forgive me for not being able to say more."
Ye Ru bowed to Qian Wensong and then slowly said.
"In that case, very well, I shall take my leave."
Not understanding why Ye Ru said that, Qian Wensong could only return the courtesy and then leave.
“Killing Shi Yu is a small matter, but the Shi family will definitely think that we did it. I estimate that Shi Tianze will come to question us tomorrow.”
Ye Ru watched Qian Wensong leave, then carefully closed the door and said to Zhang Dong and the others.
"Yes, they'll probably be back by tomorrow. What should we do now? This is exciting, but also very reckless."
Zhang Dong sighed, his eyes filled with deep worry, and then looked up at Ye Rudao.
"Do you think we have the strength to kill Shi Yu?"
Zhang Zhi seemed to have caught up in Ye Ru's digression, then blinked and looked at Zhang Dong.
"You mean?"
Zhang Zhi suddenly realized and said:
"Are you saying you can just renege on the deal later?"
"Yes, the other side was clearly prepared. Three Hanlin scholars were to deal with you, and then Shi Yu was to deal with me. However, what they didn't expect was that I possessed the Great Confucian Scholar's Letters. In addition, Shi Yu and the others are already dead, so there is no way for them to testify against us."
"Don't forget, they are the Sage Family, and the Sage Family is quite concerned about its reputation. They would never imprison us, their envoys, in the Sage Family. Just cooperate with me."
After he finished speaking, Ye Ru quietly told them his plan.
"Understood. Tomorrow we will act according to Chief Ye's plan. I will take my leave now."
Nodding, Zhang Dong bowed to Ye Ru and then left with Zhang Zhi and the Star Ape King.
After watching the three leave, Ye Ru took out the River of History and the Pen of History and began to read.
Although these two are small and not the original forms of the Three Treasures in their non-combat form, they contain a portion of the power of the Three Treasures. This portion of power alone is probably enough to burn mountains and boil seas. Once the talent energy is activated within them, the power they emit is probably comparable to an eighth-grade literary treasure.
Shi Yu's literary rank is still too low to fully utilize his talents. Only when he reaches the rank of Hanlin scholar can he truly master the long river of history and the pen of history.
"This is a wonderful surprise. Thank you. Now we need to find a way to hide these two things so that he won't sense Shi Tianze. Otherwise, we'll be completely finished."
After fiddling with the historical record's pen for a moment, Ye Ru began to mutter to himself:
"Siku Quanshu, we'll have to rely on you now. You have to save my life, or we'll both be doomed."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Siku Quanshu seemed to know Ye Ru's thoughts. Immediately, a golden light shot out, capturing the historical writings and the entire river of history.
On a certain page of the Siku Quanshu (Complete Library of the Four Treasuries), these two images appeared, although they were not very clear.
"It turns out that the Siku Quanshu also contains records of the literary treasures of the Confucian and Taoist continents."
Looking at the patterns formed by the light ink, Ye Ru couldn't help but become even more curious about the Siku Quanshu (Complete Library of the Four Treasuries).
After all, the Siku Quanshu (Complete Library of the Four Treasuries) came with him during his transmigration, and the books it contained far exceeded the understanding of the Confucian and Taoist continent.
"Sigh, I'm sure I'll uncover all your secrets someday."
With a soft murmur, Ye Ru blew out the lamp and went to rest.
The next morning, Qian Wensong and the others stood outside Ye Ru's door early.
"Brother Qian, are you really going to let this scholar participate in the third battle? This is not a wise move. You should know the importance of this document and inkstone."
Beside Qian Wensong, a handsome young scholar spoke.
Upon hearing this, Qian Wensong smiled slightly and said:
"It was precisely because of the importance of those documents and inkstones to us that I allowed Brother Ye to participate in the war."
