The government might also have noticed the Dragon Scale Operating System's impact on the U.S. dollar, and wanted to explore its potential further.
Shen Bing planned to attend tomorrow's talks in person. Although he was also supposed to meet Lord Lao tomorrow, the two appointments would not necessarily clash.
Shen Bing had not cared much about the additional tariffs imposed by the Americans, but since the government wanted to take them on, he could not have been happier to help.
He would certainly welcome anything that struck at American influence across the world on every front.
Besides, if this really was what he suspected, it would do more than undermine the dollar's standing. He stood to profit considerably himself.
The talks were not until tomorrow, so Shen Bing did not dwell on them. Right now, finding the Judge's Brush was still his top priority.
With so little time left, Shen Bing was growing restless.
Before he knew it, it was late at night. Shen Bing and Nine-Headed Worm had scoured the entire Fifth Hall, but what they had failed to find remained unfound.
Although Shen Bing wanted to keep searching, he still went to bed so he would not look half-asleep when he met Secretary Jiang and the others tomorrow.
More importantly, he did not believe that one extra night of searching would help him find the Judge's Brush.
After getting up the next morning, Shen Bing first teleported to Donghua Dijun's Taiyuan Palace Estate.
This time, the immortal boy guarding the entrance did not stop Shen Bing, but led him straight inside.
"Reverend, the Dijun has returned to the estate and is preparing to visit Tusita Palace to pay his respects to the Daoist Celestial Worthy. He is waiting for you inside," the immortal boy said as they walked.
