You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 437 - 36, The person of the forbidden secret that is hard to predict - 2

So, the position of Fengtian Order, which isn’t that important and has little to gain from, is already good enough being appointed as a second-rank official.

"Do you think it’s the work of the Demon Clan lurking in Di Hong City, so you want my help to find them?"

Lin Yue glanced at Han Yuan.

"Yes, Your Highness is wise." Han Yuan clearly wasn’t experienced in flattering, his praise sounding very straightforward and simplistic.

"I need to ask you a question first."

Lin Yue pondered for a moment and said, "If someone collected a large amount of food in advance and then killed five Fengtian Orders, leading to a famine crisis in Great Yong, and then took the opportunity to distribute food relief, how much merit could he earn?"

"It wouldn’t be possible to earn any merit." Han Yuan said unequivocally, "Killing five Fengtian Orders is already a massive sin. If Great Yong were to face a famine afterward, the sin would become even greater. Even if he were to provide food relief to the entire world, it could at best offset the sin caused by the famine in Great Yong, but it’s impossible to profit from it."

Lin Yue slightly raised his eyebrows.

The Heavenly Punishment Department has the deepest understanding of sins; otherwise, they would not have answered so firmly.

It seemed that he had thought mistakenly?

He originally thought that the Seventeenth Prince had killed the Fengtian Order, hoarded food on the pretext, and planned to distribute food relief during the famine to gain a large wave of merit.

After all, giving food to mortals has no other benefits besides merit.

As a reincarnation of the Demon Ancestor, the Seventeenth Prince wouldn’t just act out of a saintly heart.

"However..."

Lin Yue suddenly thought of a method that might be feasible?

"This matter has no benefits for the great powers of the Human Clan, so... I think there is a great possibility that it is the doing of the Demon Clan."

Han Yuan looked at Lin Yue, sincerely saying, "Seventeenth Prince has such an amazing ability to distinguish the Demon Clan, there must be hope to find those lurking in Great Yong, and this would be a great merit for us, potentially saving tens of thousands from water and fire."

Lin Yue gave him a look and said indifferently, "Han Yuan, there’s no need to set me up. I’ve already made my conditions clear to you, only the Original Divine Blood or the Boundaryless Flower, nothing else needs to be said."

"That..." Han Yuan’s face stiffened.

"It seems you don’t have it."

Lin Yue shook his head slightly and said, "What exactly have I done to make you think I’m a great saint who asks for nothing in return?"

Mu Tianyan couldn’t help saying, "Seventeenth Prince, this matter likely involves a Demon Saint lurking in Great Yong, can’t you just consider it as making an effort for our Human Clan?"

"For the Human Clan?"

Lin Yue laughed, "I’m merely the weakest prince who can barely take care of himself, let alone being noble. Besides... even if it is a Demon Saint, so what? If the sky falls, there will be taller people to support it. If a single Demon Saint can cause chaos in Great Yong, how has Great Yong stayed stable for over a thousand years?"

He leisurely picked up the teacup from the desk and casually said, "I advise you all to constrain yourselves a bit. Why chase it so deeply? Haven’t the Heavenly Punishment Department encountered unresolved or insolvable cases before?"

"Seventeenth Prince, this..."

Mu Tianyan slightly furrowed his brow, intending to say something more, but Han Yuan suddenly spoke:

"Tian Yan, let it be."

Han Yuan bowed to Lin Yue, slowly saying, "Seventeenth Prince, I might have been mistaken in my judgment. I will take my leave now, sorry for the disturbance."

Lin Yue remained calm.

As Han Yuan and Mu Tianyan reached the door, Lin Yue suddenly said, "One last reminder, don’t delve too deeply, this matter is not under the control of you two Chief Punishment Officers."

Han Yuan silently bowed and didn’t say anything, just took Mu Tianyan and left.

Inside the hall.

Lin Yue put down the teacup, glanced behind the screen, and said helplessly, "Have you listened enough?"

Qi Yinmo emerged from behind the screen, giggling as she approached and sat on Lin Yue’s lap, saying, "I knew husband had noticed me from the start." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Lin Yue glared at her and with a wave of his sleeve, closed the doors and windows of the hall.

"You really won’t help them?" Qi Yinmo wrapped her arms around his neck and said, "Others might not know, but Yinmo can tell that husband definitely didn’t tell the truth just now, deliberately forcing them to give up?"

Lin Yue smiled and said, "Who says others don’t know? Baili Fengzhi and your sister can definitely see through it as well."

"Hmph..."

Qi Yinmo couldn’t help but roll her eyes and huffed, "Sure, others also figured it out."

She continued, "But, I heard that Han Yuan is so upright that he’s annoying. Now, he has become the son-in-law of the Head of the Heavenly Punishment Department, so he probably won’t give up either. If husband were to help him, perhaps it could also be a way to forge a good relationship with the Heavenly Punishment Department?"

"I understand that, of course."

Lin Yue nodded slightly and said, "It’s not that I don’t want to help, but that I can’t help him. The waters of this case are too deep. Not just him as a mere Execution Master, even the Head of the Heavenly Punishment Department can’t handle it."

Qi Yinmo was taken aback, "Even the Head of the Heavenly Punishment Department can’t handle it?"

The Head of the Heavenly Punishment Department, a position that slightly surpasses a prince in status, with strength not inferior to many princes.

Such a person can’t handle it?

Lin Yue gently shook his head, "Can’t handle it."

"Okay." Qi Yinmo covered her mouth, "Then I won’t ask anymore."

Lin Yue kissed her, saying, "Go ahead, I need to sit alone and think for a while."

"Alright." Qi Yinmo obediently left.

Lin Yue silently held the teacup, his gaze calm as water.

If he wasn’t wrong, this matter might involve the Seventeenth Prince and some person with unpredictable heavenly secrets.

The Seventeenth Prince collecting food extensively, other than disaster relief, there seemed to be no other reason.
