I Have Unparalleled Comprehension

Chapter 552 - 552: Entering the Royal Treasury (4)

Ye Zi didn’t dare to sit down. Her status was different, so she just stood beside Xu Bai.

As Xu Bai waited, he looked at the Chu Emperor in front of him.

This was the true top ten thousand people. He did not expect that he would use such a scene to meet.

The Chu Emperor was very serious when he was marking the memorials. Clearly, he wasn’t intentionally giving Xu Bai the cold shoulder, but was really going to mark the memorials.

As he was marking, his brows were still tightly furrowed. The things on the memorial made him worry.

After nearly an hour, when the last memorial was marked by the Chu Emperor, the Chu Emperor put down the brush in his hand and massaged his waist, his gaze shifting to Xu Bai.

This gaze was very calm. There was no arrogance, nor was there any

estrangement between the monarch and his subjects. Instead, It was a gaze that looked at outstanding juniors.

The noble air in his eyes was naturally cultivated by the emperor. There was no way to hide it. Other than that, it was amiable.

“Minister Xu, the fourth rank books in the royal treasury have been opened for you. You can read them at any time during the month.”

His tone was indifferent and without any arrogance.

But this tone made it impossible to guess what the Chu Emperor was thinking.

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows and stood up. ‘”‘Thank you, Your Majesty. Along the way, I’ve really narrowly escaped death. After experiencing thousands of hardships, I finally received the help of the heavens and was able to see Your Majesty.”

He didn’t directly state his intention to pay more, but he did mention how hard it had been for him on the road. His meaning was obvious. It was up to the emperor whether he understood.

The Chu Emperor was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.

After laughing for a while, the laughter gradually stopped.

“Interesting, really interesting. After seeing me, all of my officials are scared to death. Only you are different. You still want benefits.”

Xu Bai smiled.” I didn’t make a mistake. I even made a contribution. There’s no need for me to be afraid.”

The smile on the Chu Emperor’s face disappeared. A moment later, he took out a booklet and handed it to Xu Bai.”Take a look. The people who attacked you along the way, I have already investigated their background. Including your last battle, when you fought thousands of people alone, I had people investigate clearly and spent too much effort.”

Xu Bai took it and glanced at it before closing the booklet.

“What do you think?” The Chu Emperor asked.

Xu Bai remained silent.

The Chu Emperor continued,” You can tell me everything. I won’t blame you. After all, I need someone who speaks the truth.”

Xu Bai still did not say anything.

The Chu Emperor’s face was filled with disappointment.

He suddenly felt bored.

In his heart, Xu Bai was a genius, a true genius, a genius who could overturn the world, but he needed someone who spoke the truth.

If this so-called genius did not tell the truth and followed the crowd, then even if he was a dragon among men, he would not be able to match that kind of state of mind.

At this moment, the disappointment in the Chu Emperor’s eyes was extremely dense, and it could even be seen with the naked eye.

Xu Bai’s sudden words caused the Chu Emperor to freeze on the spot.

“Your Majesty, it’s not that I don’t dare to say it, but this is not within the scope of my authority…”

He was just a small Yin Posthouse Chief. It was not his place to say these things, unless…

The Chu Emperor reacted very quickly. He naturally knew what Xu Bai meant. After all, if someone in his position didn’t even know these things, then his position would be in vain.

“A month’s worth of reading the Fourth Stage books in the royal treasury might be a little difficult for a First Stage expert like you, but you’ll definitely benefit from it.”

His words were filled with mystery.

“Your Majesty, please explain directly,” Xu Bai said bluntly.” The corners of the Chu Emperor’s mouth twitched.

This person…lt was really too interesting.

What he said just now was a little vague and mysterious, but he had already made it clear that the benefits inside were definitely not just Level Four.

However, this guy wanted him to make it clear, or else he would not be confident.

“Zhen has placed many first-grade books inside.”the Chu Emperor said slowly.

He didn’t say what he meant, but he believed Xu Bai could tell.

Some rewards could not be given too much. If they were given too much, it would easily make some people jealous.

Those remonstrants were very annoyed.

However, he couldn’t refuse to give the reward. The Chu Emperor had seen it all along the way, so it was the same if he secretly gave it to him.

Hearing this, Xu Bai’s previous silence disappeared. He said with a righteous expression, “Your Majesty, regarding the question just now, I have something to say.”

The Chu Emperor’s mouth twitched even more violently.

She was unwilling to say it just now, but now she was willing to say it. Was it because she didn’t have enough money?

“Speak!” The Chu Emperor waved his sleeves.

Xu Bai took a deep breath and said,” In my opinion, after Your Majesty’s current management, Great Chu is in the ascendant. It has been flourishing for a long time. However, the memorial Your Majesty showed me just now exposed a major problem.’”‘

“The people behind those people have long been deeply rooted in the important positions of the Great Chu. Therefore, on the surface, the Great Chu looks boundless, but it is only a river bank on the outside. Inside, it is full of holes.”

After saying that, Xu Bai didn’t say anything else. He had already said everything that he was thinking.

The Chu Emperor fell silent.

This silence was an affirmation of Xu Bai.

After a moment of silence, the Chu Emperor said, “Minister Xu, I plan to use a month to fill all these holes.. Do you think it’s worth it?”
