Chapter 146 (continued)

The Wang Family panicked as well.

Most people don't know the full story of what happened back then.

Everyone present knew that someone had used Divine Descent, and someone Backstab Nature Department. But who was this person? And why did they do it?

Even the Wang Family wasn't sure.

At this moment, Lu Yanbie revealed the name of Marquis of Mirror Bamboo.

Since he dared to utter the name "Marquis of Mirror Bamboo," he must be unafraid of mental probing.

If it was indeed Marquis of Mirror Bamboo who activated the Divine Descent, attracting the Divine Exalt Daowu and destroying the entire Nature Department, then...

Marquis of Mirror Bamboo will be disgraced, and the Wang Family that depends on him will also be destroyed!

At this moment, Lu Yanbie said with a sigh, "Since Wang Family is unwilling to give up his cultivation, then I will conduct the spiritual investigation!"

"Are you crazy?" A member of the Shen Family finally came to their senses and spoke up, "You're currently at the Sixth Grade Realm Peak, the time when your Star Soul is most complete. If we were to conduct a mental probe, your Star Soul would be completely destroyed, and you'd never be able to cultivate Star Soul again!"

The Shen Family deliberately made it so clear to tell everyone about Lu Yanbie determination.

Lu Yanbie was determined to die, but he still wanted to tell the truth about what happened back then.

In comparison, Wang Gexiao only fell to the Sixth Grade Realm, yet he dared not accept mental probing, which only proves that he was guilty and afraid of being discovered.

Marquis of Wind Pavilion lowered his voice and said, "Wang Gexiao, your father is a Ninth-Grade Supreme, a being who has the potential to reach the Divine Venerable Realm. Do you really want him to bear such a bad reputation and be condemned by Huaxia?"

These words put the Wang Family on edge.

Marquis of Wind Pavilion was clearly forcing the Wang Family to choose between two options.

One is Marquis of Mirror Bamboo, the other is Wang Gexiao...

The choice is obvious!

Marquis of Mirror Bamboo looked at Lu Yanbie and said in a deep voice, "Conduct a mental examination on him. Afterwards, I will help him repair his Star Soul and embark on the path of cultivation again."

He cannot allow Wang Gexiao to be subjected to mental probing.

Because Wang Gexiao truly attracted Divine Descent.

If this charge is proven, Wang Gexiao will bring disaster to the entire Wang Family.

Marquis of Mirror Bamboo had long harbored a dislike for Wang Gexiao.

But he also knew very well that Wang Gexiao was already tied to the Wang Family.

If such a scandal were exposed, the Wang Family's eternal glory would be destroyed.

This is something that Marquis of Mirror Bamboo would never allow to happen.

It was precisely because of this that Marquis of Mirror Bamboo chose to help Wang Gexiao with his funeral arrangements 28 years ago.

I just never expected Lu Yanbie so lucky.

Logically speaking, most of those Heavenly Fortune Bearer receive Divine Descent should be eaten directly.

It is surprising that the Divine Exalt Daowu spared Lu Yanbie and allowed him to live.

Just as Marquis of Mirror Bamboo discovered this, Lu Yanbie woke up. And just as he was about to make a move, he sensed Li Yaowan's presence.

Li Yaowan is extremely talented, yet also cautious in nature.

If Marquis of Mirror Bamboo had killed Lu Yanbie at that time, Li Yaowan would definitely have been able to tell the difference.

That would only make things more complicated...

Therefore, Marquis of Mirror Bamboo had no choice but to let Lu Yanbie.

Later, the Master- level minor students of the Nature Department discovered this Spirit Department Heavenly Fortune Bearer was welcoming the Divine Descent, and they immediately put him under guard.

Marquis of Mirror Bamboo no longer had a chance to make a move.

Fortunately, when Lu Yanbie was subsequently subjected to a mental examination, Marquis of Mirror Bamboo also participated.

He only needed to guide the direction of the problem; given Lu Yanbie's state at the time, he could only passively accept it.

However, Marquis of Mirror Bamboo must not touch Lu Yanbie.

Lu Yanbie died right after the mental examination was completed, which will definitely attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.

That would just backfire.

Only after the Greedy Wolf Incident was quelled did Wang Gexiao dare to secretly send men to hunt down Lu Yanbie.

What Marquis of Mirror Bamboo and Wang Gexiao didn't know was that Li Yaowan had been secretly monitoring Lu Yanbie for the past 28 years, while also protecting him.

Wang Gexiao dared not send his trusted confidants, so he could only find mercenaries through various means.

In Qing Teng's eyes, those mercenaries were like clowns, easily dealt with.

In this way, Lu Yanbie survived by hiding, which gave Li Yang the opportunity to move him, and also led to the scene where Lu Yanbie fearlessly identified Marquis of Mirror Bamboo in the Star Nexus Pavilion.

Faced with Marquis of Mirror Bamboo's frank words, the Wang Family breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It seems Lu Yanbie was just bluffing; Marquis of Mirror Bamboo is not afraid of being investigated.

Several people were about to stand up and speak up for Marquis of Mirror Bamboo...

Wang Gexiao, who had been standing ramrod straight in the Star Nexus Pavilion, suddenly spoke, "I can undergo mental probing."

Silence fell over the hall once more, and the expressions of the Wang Family changed again.

Marquis of Mirror Bamboo looked at Wang Gexiao with a serious expression.

Wang Gexiao is his son.

But at this moment, Marquis of Mirror Bamboo could see through him even more, and understood him even less.

Conduct a mental investigation?

Can he withstand mental probing?

Once those scandals are exposed, the Wang Family is finished!

Marquis of the Long Night has long coveted him, and the Lin Family behind her will surely crush the Wang Family and completely destroy the Wang Family's millennia-long glory!

The Shen Family behind the Marquis of Wind Pavilion will not miss this opportunity either; they will definitely fight tooth and nail to seize the Wang Family's resources!

Thinking of all this, Marquis of Mirror Bamboo felt a tightness in his chest and difficulty breathing.

Marquis of Wind Pavilion wouldn't give Wang Gexiao a chance to back out. She immediately said, "Since Wang Gexiao has agreed, let's conduct the mental probe. There happen to be five Ninth-Grade Supreme present!"

This is also why Li Yaowan and Li Yang had to win over Marquis of Wind Pavilion.

Marquis of Wind Pavilion himself is a Ninth-Grade Supreme, and the Shen Family has two more Ninth-Grade Supreme in the Star Nexus Pavilion, making a total of three.

Marquis of Mirror Bamboo must avoid suspicion and cannot participate in this investigation.

The Wang Family will also send a Ninth-Grade Supreme, but with only one, they can't pull off any tricks; at most, they can serve as a witness.

As for the other Ninth-Grade Supreme, he can be entrusted to the Lin Family patriarch who is acting as the acting Marquis of Marquis of the Long Night in the Star Combat Division.

With this setup, there's absolutely no chance of anything fishy happening during this mental investigation.

What exactly did Wang Gexiao do 28 years ago will be made public!

Marquis of Mirror Bamboo abruptly stood up and said, "With a formidable enemy at hand, we must..."

Wang Gexiao calmly replied, "Father, the innocent are innocent, I am not afraid of investigation."

Marquis of Mirror Bamboo: "..." He looked intently at Wang Gexiao, but had no idea what he was thinking.

Those who purify themselves will purify themselves?

Did Wang Gexiao arrogantly believe he could evade the mental probing of five Ninth-Grade Supreme?

Impossible!

Even if there were any related secret treasures, given the caution of the Marquis of Wind Pavilion and Li Yaowan, they would definitely find them.

Wang Gexiao could not possibly hide this mental probe; he would expose everything that happened back then to these five Ninth-Grade Supreme.

At this moment, Li Yaowan, who had been silent all along, spoke up at just the right time, "Marquis, since Wang Family has agreed to conduct the mental investigation, then you shouldn't stop him. It would make you seem a bit... cough cough..."

She cleared her throat at just the right moment, and then stopped talking at just the right moment.

This level of sarcastic and unpredictable aura is undoubtedly putting Marquis of Mirror Bamboo on the hot seat.

Marquis of Mirror Bamboo really couldn't speak up to stop him again.

He gritted his teeth, staring intently at Wang Gexiao, wishing he could tear that bastard to pieces.

Standing in the center of the hall, Wang Gexiao remained calm and composed, saying, "Marquis, my father values me and has entrusted me with the management of the Wang Family. However, once the mental investigation is completed, I will need to go into seclusion to recuperate for a while. Therefore, I humbly request that you grant me some time to organize the affairs at hand and hand them over to the next head of the family."

This was a reasonable argument, and even Marquis of Wind Pavilion couldn't refuse it.

Li Yang's heart tightened, and she once again felt how difficult Wang Gexiao was to deal with.

Is he stalling for time?

What else does he want to do?

Is it possible to escape the Huaxia Heavenly Palace?

Li Yaowan had clearly considered these points as well, and then said sarcastically, "Patriarch Wang Family, falling in cultivation level won't affect your leadership of the Wang Family. Once the spiritual investigation is complete, you will still be the patriarch of the Wang Family, and there's no need for you to abdicate."

A member of the Wang Family immediately stepped forward and said, "Li Yaowan, don't push your luck!"

The others also stood up and said, "Our patriarch, faced with this unfounded investigation, would rather drop in cultivation level than betray his innocence. How dare you be so aggressive? This is going too far!"

Li Yaowan didn't care about their opinions. Always fearless, she blurted out, "To avoid any unforeseen complications, in case the Wang Family head escapes..."

Before she could finish speaking, Wang Gexiao looked up at Li Yaowan and said, "I was born Huaxia, and I will die Huaxia ghost. I will never leave!"

After saying that, Wang Gexiao looked at the Marquis of Wind Pavilion and said, "If the Marquis is worried, he can have the three Ninth-Grade Supreme of the Shen Family guard the Wang Family residence. I will not step out. I will not take too long, just one day. After I have handed over everything, I will come to the Star Nexus Pavilion immediately to conduct a mental investigation."

Having said all that, Marquis of Wind Pavilion couldn't say anything more.

She pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, Marquis of Mirror Bamboo will temporarily transfer the right to protect the Wang Family mansion to me, and I will supervise and protect it."

These words were quite offensive, and the Wang Family present almost slammed their fists on the table and stood up.

Once Marquis of Wind Pavilion secures the right of protection, the entire Wang Family mansion will be under her control.

With the Marquis of Wind Pavilion's level of cultivation, he could use the protection of the Wang Family mansion to densely cover the entire Wang Family with his Divine Sight.

Even if Wang Gexiao had Teleportation Anchor similar to Li Yang's, he wouldn't be able to teleport away.

This is a great disgrace to the Wang Family!

Unexpectedly, Wang Gexiao agreed, saying, "If this is the only way to reassure the Marquis, then so be it."

He looked at Marquis of Mirror Bamboo and said, "Father, please temporarily transfer the protection of the Wang Family mansion to the Marquis of Wind Pavilion."

Marquis of Mirror Bamboo stared at him without blinking, while Wang Gexiao returned his gaze without flinching.

At this moment, everyone in the room began to feel uneasy.
