Chapter 85: The Honorable Guest of the Imperial Throne!

  Tie Bu Tian could clearly feel Chu Yang's intentions. Even if it was just a vague feeling, he was certain that Chu Yang absolutely did not have any malicious intentions towards him or Iron Cloud Nation, nor was he using Iron Cloud Nation to achieve some ulterior motive!

  Since all of these are not present, and Chu Yang has such an astonishing ability, Tie Butian naturally wants to try his luck! He needs help too much, he alone is struggling too hard! He needs someone to share the burden with him, but among the civil and military officials, there isn't a single person who can share his suffering.

  Because he is always the monarch, and his subjects are after all just subjects!

  But Chu Yang's appearance perfectly made up for this deficiency! Chu Yang would never be his subordinate, but from this point on, Chu Yang's identity as a wanderer between the rivers and lakes and the imperial court was precisely the best candidate to take charge of the Bu Tian Ge!

  No matter who the civil and military ministers are, whoever has control of the Bǔ Tiān Gé (Supplementing Heaven Platform) will not let Iron Supplement Heaven rest easy! And yet he himself established the Bǔ Tiān Gé but does not have enough energy to manage it or make it bigger.

  So Tie Butian agreed with Chu Yang, and there was also this reason inside.

  Or there may be other reasons, which are unknown.

  Chu Yang thought to himself, but Tie Butian's childhood was indeed tragic. Even compared to the princes of ordinary nations, he didn't have a childhood either.

  As Iron Supplement Heaven said, indeed, the road of a king is not ordinary cruelty!

  …………

  "What about your Tianbing Pavilion?" It was in the afternoon when he saw Tie Butian again. Tie Butian had completely regained his calm and dignified demeanor, smiling as he asked this question.

  "Tianbing Pavilion..." Chu Yang had originally wanted to merge Tianbing Pavilion into Butian Pavilion, but the words stopped at his lips. He said, "Tianbing Pavilion must exist, but it can't exist in the form of a shop, that's too wasteful. Your Highness, I'll place my Tianbing Pavilion on Liutui Lake, what do you think?"

  Liǔ Cuì Lake, is a small lake in the middle of Tiě Yún City, only a dozen or so miles from the inner city of Tiě Yún, but usually separated by dense buildings, making it seem quite far away. It has always been a great place to visit for leisure.

  "Liǔ Cuì Lake? No problem." Tiě Bǔ Tiān replied readily: "I'll arrange this matter right away." Tiě Bǔ Tiān thought that the waste Chu Yang was referring to were those divine weapons; but he didn't expect that what Chu Yang meant by waste was actually Gu Dú Xíng.

  Such a being with infinite growth potential is left idle, what a huge waste!

  Chu Yang's face remained calm and expressionless, but in his heart he was overjoyed.

  Only he himself knew that Liuting Lake was not just a great place to visit, in his past life he had obtained the second section of Jiuxing Sword at the bottom of Liuting Lake!

  Now I'll just occupy this place myself and wait until my cultivation reaches the first level, at which point I can break the seal on the Second Section of the Nine Heavens Sword and take it out without anyone noticing.

  Jiuxing Sword, Second Chapter! Chu Yang's heart was burning with passion.

  Two people boarded the horse-drawn carriage and moved forward. The carriage was covered tightly, not allowing any wind to pass through. If someone were to look from outside, they would have no idea that this ordinary horse-drawn carriage actually had the current crown prince inside.

  The space in the carriage was not small, but with two people inside, they were not far apart. Chu Yang only felt a faint scent of fragrance like orchid and musk slowly spreading in the air, and couldn't help but sniff it, his heart speechless: Big man, why are you wearing perfume?

  Tie Butian seemed to have sensed something and started discussing some irrelevant topics with Chu Yang. Tie Butian's knowledge was indeed profound, whether it was about the heavens or the earth, ancient or modern classics, famous people's anecdotes, everything came out of his mouth effortlessly, and he had precise comments on every piece of knowledge involved.

  In terms of knowledge, Chuyang is far inferior to Tie Butian. He can only listen carefully and slowly become fascinated by the fragrance in the carriage, and it's nothing unusual.

  The horse carriage stopped.

  Tie Butian and the other person got off the horse carriage and entered a large mansion.

  "This is the headquarters of Bǔ Tiān Gé." Tiě Bǔ Tiān said in a low voice as he walked. Chǔ Yáng responded with an "oh" and felt somewhat surprised.

  Whoever hears "Butian Pavilion" will think it's a pavilion, but unexpectedly it's just an ordinary flat house.

  It turned out that the Tiān Bǔ Tiān had set up the Tiān Bǔ Gé by the small lake, where they first talked, just to deceive people. However, Chǔ Yáng still felt that this place was more suitable for the three words "Tiān Bǔ Gé".

  But here, it's a bit too ordinary.

  Entering the humble abode, Tie Butian led Chu Yang into the main hall without stopping; inside, several people were in conversation, and upon seeing Tie Butian arrive, they hastily paid their respects.

  "This is Chu Yang, Mr. Chu." Tiě Bǔtiān introduced: "From today on, Mr. Chu will be a member of the Bǔtiān Gé, with a temporary position as the Guest Minister of the Bǔtiān Gé Throne. Mr. Chu can participate in planning and decision-making for all matters related to the Bǔtiān Gé."

  Five people in the room changed their faces at the same time.

  Honorable Guest Minister, this status is not trivial. If you remove the two words "Guest Minister", it would be the Honorable Seat of the Tianbu Pavilion. The Honorable Seat is the position of Iron Supplement Heaven, and its status is even higher than that of the Pavilion Master.

  Could it be that this young man is the future throne of Bǔ Tiān Gé?

  They never thought that for such an important position as the throne, Tie Butian would actually bring a young man like him to take on the role. Among them were the two masters of the Supplement Heaven Pavilion, as well as three others who were also high-ranking martial artists of the Wu Zong, how could they tolerate a young man coming and suppressing them?

  "This is the master of Bǔ Tiān Gé, Ice Soul Knife Respectful Cheng Zǐ áng; this is the vice-master, Flowing Star Martial Respectful Chen Yǔ Tóng." Tiě Bǔ Tiān introduced them to Chǔ Yáng one by one. The five people all put on smiles and returned the courtesy one by one.

  That Ice Soul Knife Sect's Cheng Zi was over sixty years old, with a slender build that seemed like it could be blown away by the wind. His hair was slightly graying. Chen Yutong, on the other hand, was a robust middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, with a coarse face.

  Both of them looked at Chu Yang with sparkling eyes, and their smiles carried a hint of estrangement.

  After a brief introduction, Tie Butian took Chu Yang into the inner room. This was a quiet chamber filled with stacks of documents, neatly arranged in rows.

  "This is the Sky Replacement Pavilion's current personnel data for Iron Cloud, every single one of them has their entire life experience recorded here, including personal specialties and martial arts achievements. You can take a look; generally, those below the rank of Martial Artist will not enter the Sky Replacement Pavilion, and people with unknown backgrounds also won't be able to enter." Tiān Bǔtiān said slowly: "Currently there are 87 people in total. Among them, one is a Blade Master, five are at the Martial Lord realm; thirteen are at the Martial Ancestor realm, and the rest are all above Fourth-Rank Martial Artists."

  "Strength is somewhat weak. Too weak!" Chu Yang shook his head. Such strength, if placed in a sect, no matter which sect, would be an extremely powerful force, but for two superpower nations fighting each other, it was too little.

  Especially when facing the fifth gentle golden horse knight hall, such strength is simply not enough to look at, it can be said that there is no possibility of comparison.

  It's worth knowing that the Golden Horse Riders' Hall has already formed a scale, with nearly 30,000 people adding up everyone's hands! Even if some internal personnel such as logistics and supplies are excluded, there are still 20,000 martial arts masters!

  Such a terrifying number, how can it be compared to the Supplement Heaven Palace which is still in its infancy?

  "All along, the Tiān Gōng Pavilion has been my personal strength, mainly relying on advisors' wisdom and strategy. The few times I attempted to assassinate someone, I failed, and ended up losing men for nothing." Tiě Bǔtiān said slowly: "So, from then on, I didn't dare to expand again."

  Chu Yang nodded slightly.

  Tie Butian didn't say it explicitly, but Chu Yang had already figured it out: Bu Tian Pavilion has a traitor!

  As long as there are traitors and it is impossible to determine in which aspect, then if another assassination operation is organized, it would be a joke; it would be equivalent to sending the lives of one's own subordinates into the hands of the enemy for nothing.

  "This is your first problem to solve." Tie Butian said calmly.

  "No problem." Chu Yang said bluntly as he looked at the volume of documents.

  Thank you everyone, today's third update!
