I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 81

Chapter 81: Chapter 65 Event Completed! Breaking Delusion Divine Skills!

After escorting the Zhou Family members to the Imperial Prison, Chen Mo and Shen Shuqiu were informed and then prepared to return to the mansion for some rest.

From last night until now, his nerves had been tightly strained, truly feeling somewhat exhausted.

Just as he stepped out of the training field’s main gate, a carriage rattled towards him and stopped right in front of him.

The carriage curtain was lifted, revealing a rather square face with a friendly smile, "Hop on, I’ll give you a ride."

Chen Mo, although he did not recognize the man, did recognize the two splendid horses pulling the carriage, all blood-red, with jet-black hooves on snow, the official horses of the Sky Scale Guard.

His thoughts flashed, and he roughly guessed the man’s identity.

"Then the humble official shall not shy away from accepting your kindness."

Chen Mo stepped into the carriage.

The interior of the carriage was quite spacious, with a small table in the middle piled with many documents. Chen Mo glanced over them quickly and no longer paid attention, quietly taking a seat across from the man.

"Giddy-up—"

The coachman cracked his whip, and the carriage moved smoothly.

The middle-aged man observed him for a moment and praised, "Elegant and spirited, a gracefully carved jade gentleman, not inferior to myself when I was younger."

Chen Mo: "..."

Are you praising me or yourself?

Look in the mirror, do we even share the same artistic style?

Keeping his calm face, he seriously responded, "Mr. Yun, you flatter me too highly. I merely have a semblance of features, nothing compared to such a venerable aura like yours, akin to towering pines and lofty mountains that naturally command respect."

Mr. Yun was momentarily stunned by this flattery, "Oh? You recognize me?"

As a Water Department Thousand Households, he usually managed affairs at the Qilin Pavilion on the outskirts of the Imperial City, rarely appearing in the Government buildings. Even many Hundred Household Officers had not seen him.

"Mr. Yun’s fame is renowned; who in Tiandu City does not know of you?"

Chen Mo paused, then added, "Moreover, at this critical juncture, the only one who would come to me would probably be Mr. Yun."

Mr. Yun couldn’t help but laugh quietly.

This young man was slippery indeed, and he wondered how he had honed such a fierce Sword Technique.

"That should be my lines in praise of you."

"Today at the court, you truly stole the show. Now, in Great Yuan’s officialdom, who does not know Hundred Households Chen?"

Continuing on, Mr. Yun sighed, "Your one strike utterly disarrayed the Six Ministries!"

Originally, merely based on evidence of private communication with the Barbarian Slave, it was not enough to break through the Ministry of Revenue. Both parties attacked each other, and it would have been good to nip a few idle positions in the bud.

However, just before the court convened, the Image Stone gifted by the Empress had completely changed the tide of battle!

The Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was "beheaded," catching the Six Ministries off guard!

The victory was decisively clinched!

Chen Mo, understanding the overall situation now, had a strange expression on his face.

He had assumed that at most, the Image Stone would be shown to a few ministers, but who could have imagined that they would play that sort of ’little movie’ right in court?

This left no quarter for the Empress!

Chen Mo grimaced, "I’m afraid this limelight may not be so easy to handle..."

Mr. Yun knew what he was worried about, and patted his shoulder, saying, "The Zhou Family openly plotted rebellion. Should the foundation of the country really waver, and the national order collapse, the first affected would be this group of powerful ministers from the Six Ministries."

"By dragging out Zhou Chuanbing, this traitor, they should be thanking us."

"Besides, with the Empress on your side, what is there to fear?"

With that said, his stance was completely clear, seeing Chen Mo truly as one of his own.

Thinking of Consort Yu’s serene visage, Chen Mo felt much more at ease.

After all, sticking close to the Empress’s powerful support was the right move.

If anyone harbored malicious intentions, he would swing the Empress’s mighty thighs and use those long legs to kick all enemies away!

At this moment, Mr. Yun reminded, "However, you do need to be careful of the Demon Clan’s revenge. Their plans have been long in the making, and there might still be other compatriots lurking around. It’s best not to leave Tiandu City during this period."

Chen Mo nodded.

In the fragmented memories of Jue Mi, he indeed saw that she had several companions, so he really needed to stay vigilant...

Just then, text flashed before his eyes:

[Target Demon Clan all deceased.]

[Event concluded.]

[Evaluation: Below Average.]

[True Spirit +300.]

[Acquired Divine Skill: Golden Eyes of Truth.]

[Breaks through illusions, revealing the truth, requires consumption of Soul Power.]

"Event concluded?"

Chen Mo quickly realized, it must have been the Empress’s doing.

Killing the remaining four demons, he had barely participated, hence the evaluation was only below average.

But Jue Mi’s strength was far superior to his, the difficulty of the issue was high, yet the rewards were reasonably generous.
