Advance Cultivation: From a Miscellaneous Servant in a Chaotic World to a Lawful Martial Saint

Chapter 55: The Brother-Protecting Maniac

Du Meiyan smiled and stood up: "Lord Wang, please sit down."

"I'd better not sit down. I have important duties to attend to. Please tell me what you need, Madam."

Wang Chen waved his hands repeatedly, and seeing his restrained appearance, Du Mei had no choice but to wave her sleeve and say, "Very well. Tomorrow is the selection arena battle, and my good-for-nothing brother's cultivation is not outstanding."

"Oh, you mean this?"

Wang Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, a weight lifted from his heart.

He then smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Zhao has already instructed me to make arrangements. Brother Du has made outstanding military achievements. Even if he doesn't excel in the martial arts competition, as long as he can win one match, Lord Zhao will have room to maneuver."

"Brother Du is now in the late stage of Body Refinement, possessing profound martial arts skills. Logically speaking..."

As Wang Chen spoke, he noticed that Du Mei's expression was somewhat helpless, so his voice grew softer and softer. He blinked and finally stopped abruptly.

"Could it be..."

dong dong~

Then Du Mei took out a bamboo stick from her sleeve, on which was engraved the number "Seventeen".

"Sigh~"

She frowned slightly and sighed, "Xiao Lian's opponent is Wu He. That Wu's performance is outstanding. He can even kill a cultivator at the Strong Bone Realm. I'm really worried about him."

Wang Chen was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "How did you know it was Wu He?"

As soon as he asked the question, he slapped himself hard, realizing how foolish he had been.

Drawing lots before the competition is meant to facilitate certain shady deals.

As the wife of the Commander of the Palace Guard, it wouldn't be difficult for Du Mei to find out some inside information.

She continued, "If Xiao Lian loses in the first round, will he have no hope of making it to the next round?"

Wang Chen scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "That's how it is."

No matter how many military achievements one has made before, if one is eliminated in the first round of the competition, it will not be enough to cover up this hole.

After all, this time there were not only people from the Palace Guard, but also the Imperial Guard and the Inspector General sent by the palace. They couldn't go too far in their corruption and abuse of power.

Thinking of this, Wang Chen suddenly realized something and tentatively asked, "You wouldn't be asking me to... get rid of Wu He, would you?"

"This shouldn't be difficult for you, right?" Du Mei stopped pretending.

"Cough cough..."

Wang Chen coughed a few times nervously, then waved his hands repeatedly, "Madam, this, this is probably not possible!"

"Although Wu He is still in the late stage of the Flesh Refining Realm, I am quite confident that I can assassinate him. However, Lord Zhao has ordered that we not to take action against him for the time being."

"Because there is a master protecting him in the shadows, Wu He is in a highly sensitive situation right now, so it is not advisable to make a move."

Du Mei gave him a deep look, then pursed her lips, her small face showing a hint of sorrow: "I don't understand your affairs, I only know that it hasn't been easy for Xiao Lian to get to where he is today, and he shouldn't be defeated because of a little Wu He."

After saying this, she got up and went to the side, opened a three-foot square wooden box, and inside it was filled with dazzling pearls and a sense of wealth.

Piles of gold and silver jewelry, and boxes of medicinal herbs of all sizes, were overflowing.
