Peerless Taoist

No one doubted that the battle achievements were fake, because the one who awarded this battle achievement was Minister of War Di Zhan!    

Back then, it was Di Zhan who came to the Lower Realm and accepted Xu Gui as his disciple.    

He was the same as the Divine Might Marquis, Xu Guizong. They were both sector lords and were top-notch existences in the Imperial Court.    

Lu Yu did not act rashly, but first went to the War Technique Hall to inquire about it.    

It turned out that when Pei Tianguang was an official, he offended many people.    

The Court of Judicial Review's Shaoqing was a Rank Four official. Logically speaking, if he returned to his hometown, he should have been in a grand and glorious manner, accompanied by countless carriages and horses.    

However, it was precisely because he had offended someone he should not have offended. Just returning to his hometown alone required him to be on tenterhooks to prevent being assassinated.    

"Just who did Pei Tianguang offend that he would end up like this?" Lu Yu frowned.    

The attendant of the War Hall smiled and said, "Who else can he offend? He's not a proper official, yet he wants to provoke the Xu Family? Hehe, if he did not have a good relationship with Minister Di back then, he would have died before leaving the capital. "    

The Xu Clan?    

Lu Yu frowned. It was this Xu Family again.    

The servant continued, "At that time, a young master of the Xu family forcibly seized the properties of a few wealthy merchants. When those wealthy merchants were reported to the Imperial Capital, none of the yamen was prepared to accept them. I didn't expect this Pei Tianguang to be ignorant of the current situation, to actually take away this young master. He has been sentenced to death by the Sentencing Department."    

"Haha, even daring to kill the young master of the Xu Family, this Pei Tianguang naturally won't have a good end either. He couldn't stay in the Imperial Court any longer, so he prepared to retire. In the end, when he left, the guards beside him seemed to have received some sort of threat. All of them abandoned him and left."    

"Although Minister Di and him are good friends, the threat of the Xu Family is still there. At least, he gave Pei Tianguang an indirect mission to protect him. However, it is said that the Xu Family has already sent assassins from the Dark Assassination Division to kill Pei Tianguang. Whoever accepts this mission will probably not have a good end."    

The attendant clicked his tongue. "Not only is it dangerous, it will also provoke the Xu Family. This kind of hot potato, only a few barefooted lunatics who are not afraid of wearing shoes dare to take it. The others won't take it. "    

Lu Yu thought for a moment and continued to ask, "Is there any mission that has a higher reward than its battle credit?"    

The servant shook his head. "Of course not. This is a mission personally issued by Minister Di. The battle credit is naturally not something that other missions can compare with."    

Lu Yu said, "Alright, I will accept this mission."    

This Pei Tianguang did not fear the Xu Family at all. Lu Yu naturally would not ignore him.    

Furthermore, in the memories of the Heavenly Emperor, this Pei Tianguang was an Imperial Examiner personally appointed by the Heavenly Emperor. Lu Yu was still aware of his talent.    

Lu Yu wanted to take the opportunity to take Pei Tianguang under his command.    

The servant was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lu Yu suspiciously, "Are you sure? If you want to accept this mission, you must pay a deposit of one million immortal stones."    

The deposit was directly linked to the battle credit obtained from the mission.    

If the mission failed, the deposit of one million immortal stones would not be refunded.    

Lu Yu took out the banknote and placed it in front of the attendant.    

"Someone actually accepted this mission!"    

"Who is it? Does he want to die?"    

When the surrounding people heard this, they all gathered around and looked at Lu Yu curiously.    

However, when they saw that Lu Yu was merely a small Centurion, they could not help but feel greatly surprised.
