Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7843

Chapter 7759: The Suppression of Willow!

“Sister Wei Sheng!” Ji Qingyue called out with concern, her brows furrowed in confusion.

She couldn’t understand why, when they were clearly on the same side, they would resort to such drastic measures.

“I’m fine.” Wei Sheng Mo Ran straightened herself up, her expression indifferent.

“Lord Liu, what do you mean by this?” Li Tianming gritted his teeth, looking at Inspector Liu.

“Nothing, this is part of the background check. I meant no harm.” Inspector Liu looked calmly at Li Tianming, then waved his hand, saying, “Now that I’ve seen what I wanted to see, they can leave first, as can the two princesses. I have something more important to tell you.”

Jiang Feiling and Wei Sheng Mo Ran stopped, staring directly at Inspector Liu, seemingly reluctant to leave.

But in reality, they had simply communicated with Li Tianming beforehand to make their act more convincing.

The scene, which should have been tense, couldn’t be portrayed as too calm.

Upon seeing this, Inspector Liu raised an eyebrow and said, “Unwilling to leave? Worried about your young master? I won’t harm him, but if you resist, I can’t guarantee your safety. Right now, the biggest help you can give Li Tianming is to avoid causing trouble, understand?”

“Princess, Little Princess, please take them out first,” Li Tianming said, turning around with a cold gaze.

“Brother Tianming, you…” Ji Qingyue hesitated.

“Don’t act like I’m some kind of bad person. We, the Gonghe Shentian, cherish talent very much,” Inspector Liu chuckled.

Jiang Feiling and Wei Shengmo Ran finally loosened their grip, and, pulled by the two sisters Ji Qingyue and Ji Ziling, quickly left the Danxing Palace.

At this moment, only Li Tianming, Inspector Liu, and Emperor Qianfeng remained in the Danxing Palace.

The three of them stood in opposite corners, roughly the same distance apart.

“I’m satisfied with your potential,” Inspector Liu said calmly. “However, I’m not satisfied with your two wives.”

“They’ve told the truth, answered all your questions. Is there anything else you need to ask? Lord Liu, if you have any other requests, you can state them directly.” Li Tianming’s expression darkened slightly.

“There’s no need for us to feign ignorance.” Inspector Liu walked slowly down from the platform, her hands behind her back, even pacing close to Li Tianming. “These two evasive women, people of unknown origin, haven’t been telling the truth at all. I don’t know if you know the truth. If you don’t, I just think you’re too naive. If you do know but are cooperating in the cover-up, then I’ll have to consider your situation.”

“I am indeed young, and I have no way of verifying their past lives,” Li Tianming said calmly.

“Then I’ll assume you don’t know either,” Inspector Liu said lightly. “Having two women like these is not good for your development at all. They are definitely not sincere with you; they are from a completely different world. You’d better be clear about that.”

“Lord Liu, what exactly are you trying to say?” Li Tianming frowned.

“Your background check didn’t pass, but I still want to take you with me. I advise you that if you want to go to the Republic of the Divine Heaven, you should give up on them as soon as possible. If you can sever all ties, I can still try to take you with me,” Inspector Liu said, staring into Li Tianming

‘s eyes. She was right beside Li Tianming, and he could even sense her presence.

Emperor Qianfeng’s gaze was deep, and he frowned slightly, saying, “Tianming, you just saw it yourself. Inspector Liu can easily suppress your wife. As long as you make up your mind, they won’t be able to continue to harass you.”

“Lord Liu, Your Majesty, feelings aren’t something that can be severed so easily. Besides, we’ve known each other, helped each other, and I’ve received a lot of care from them. I can’t be an ungrateful person,” Li Tianming said with burning eyes.

“Your future is far greater than theirs. They’ve invested time and effort in you; your success is the greatest reward,” Inspector Liu said calmly. “You’re still young; don’t let women jeopardize your future. If you remain stubborn, I won’t persuade you any further; consider it a misjudgment.”

“Lord Liu, Tianming is indeed very talented, but he’s still young. It’s difficult for him to make a decision so easily. Perhaps we could be a little more accommodating,” Emperor Qianfeng winked at Li Tianming.

Inspector Liu sighed slightly, looking at Li Tianming. “Fine, I understand, but I can only give you one day at most. Indecisiveness is definitely not my standard for selecting people. Can you give me a real answer today?”

Although Li Tianming remained outwardly calm, he was already furious.

“This is disgusting! All this trouble to call him here just to give him a beating and then force little Li to compromise?” Sui Shenyao said indignantly.

“So, what’s your choice?” Inspector Liu asked, staring intently.

“Lord Liu, to be honest, they are the mothers of my children,” Li Tianming said through gritted teeth.

“You already have offspring?” Inspector Liu raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

Emperor Qianfeng was also astonished. “You’re so young, yet you already have offspring?”

“Yes, youth, plus good fortune,” Li Tianming nodded, then added, “So this matter is indeed very difficult for me, but I will definitely make a careful decision. Please give me some time, Lord Liu, and I will try my best to answer you.”

“Very well, then go back and think carefully about what I told you today. Don’t let romantic feelings ruin your future,” Inspector Liu said meaningfully.

Li Tianming bowed and then headed out of the Danxing Palace.

Watching his departing figure, Inspector Liu’s gaze turned cold.

Emperor Qianfeng sighed slightly.

Clearly, this development was not what he wanted to see, and he hadn’t expected Inspector Liu to present Li Tianming with such a difficult choice.

After a long silence, Inspector Liu turned to the person beside her and said calmly, “Go, thoroughly investigate the background of these two women. If necessary, kill them.”

“Kill them?” Emperor Qianfeng was slightly taken aback, then asked worriedly, “Is this really a good idea? Won’t it breed resentment in him? Wouldn’t that make it harder to recruit this talent?”

“You can kill them, it won’t affect anything, but you must pass the buck to Emperor Wanjing, Prince Yuan, or others who have grudges against them. Don’t do it yourself,” Inspector Liu said calmly.

Her tone was so calm that one could truly believe it was a trivial matter.

To kill one’s wife and still expect others to serve him—such actions were far too ruthless!

“Yes,” Emperor Qianfeng could only nod heavily upon hearing this.

Immediately afterward, his figure quickly disappeared from the Danxing Palace.

Emperor Qianfeng’s heart was heavy.

He didn’t know whether such ruthless methods to achieve his goal were ultimately a good thing or a bad thing for the Republic of China.

Would Li Tianming transform into a sharp sword under Inspector Liu’s command, or become a major obstacle in her rebellion?

He didn’t know.
