At the beginning, His Majesty wanted to investigate Xia Yi, Qin Song was very happy, and always felt that he was ordered to do things, and it was Xia Yi who could vent his anger for himself openly.

But after taking over this matter, he found that this task was a pit, and after jumping in, he found that he was simply "unable to see and eat" - knowing that Xia Yi had something wrong, but he couldn't catch his flaws!

These days, he almost turned over the Xia family, and he didn't even know how many times the ancestral hall of the Xia family had been turned over, so he almost demolished the archway of the Xia family's ancestors, but he still couldn't find any clues about these changes in Xia Yi.

According to the testimony of everyone in the Xia family, Xia Yi's brothers and sisters are poor and white, and there is nothing valuable on them, if there is a magic weapon, according to Xia Yi's character, they would have been sold for materials to help his sister Xia Ye cultivate.

After a long circle of futile efforts, the final conclusion seemed to confirm Xia Yi's words, he was able to quickly improve his realm, and it seemed that it was really that exercise that was working.

The so-called "family heirloom exercises" are not a secret at all in the Xia family, and they do not look like the ancestral secrets of the big family at all, and they are a "roadside goods" that even the Xia family's descendants dislike.

The reason is simple –

And thinking about it in hindsight, if Xia Yi really had a magic weapon to increase his cultivation speed, then why had Xia Yi been a mortal for so many years?

After a long circle of investigation, Qin Song never found out the reason why Xia Yi cultivated so quickly.

According to the Xia family, Xia Yi has been ordinary all these years, rarely going out, and always holding the "Xuanling Secret Record" that no one reads at home to study, for which he has been ridiculed by many people. And he always ignores those people, and only cares about researching.

The Son of Heaven was angry, and the sky fell apart.

Qin Song knelt on the ground, and suddenly felt that this was quite comfortable, at least he didn't have to bend his waist all the time, which made him unbearable pain.

A thought flashed through his heart, and Qin Song soon heard the low roar of His Majesty Emperor Shang, which contained anger.

"According to the investigation and the test of finding people, it can be confirmed that the "Xuanling Secret Record" is a very low-grade exercise, although ordinary people can also cultivate, but it will take a long time to succeed in cultivation. We all thought that the reason why Xia Yi had been cultivating for several years without results was entirely because the cultivation efficiency of that exercise was too low. ”

When Emperor Shang heard Qin Song's words, he was so angry that he couldn't help but be angry, and slapped the table fiercely.

The table on the long couch with the folds was overwhelmed, and it fell apart in a muffled sound of "bang", scattered everywhere, startling the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs, as well as Qin Song, who bowed down to reply, and fell to the ground in unison.

Qin Song didn't know that Emperor Shang had already distrusted him in his heart, so he hurriedly defended: "At the beginning, the cultivation speed was indeed very slow, and this can be confirmed by the people of the Xia family. However, observing Xia Yi's situation, he must have persisted for many years, and after breaking through a certain 'pass', his speed immediately increased. Maybe this is the result of Xia Yi's persistence, there must be no one like him, who can practice for many years by insisting on an exercise that does not see the effect!"

Emperor Shang couldn't help but sneer: "In this way, all this is Xia Yi's stupid luck, and when there is nothing to practice, he simply picked up a book and practiced hard, and finally let him practice!"

"Your Majesty. It may sound bizarre, but it's the clue we're looking for. Qin Song replied tremblingly.

"The cultivation efficiency is too low?If the cultivation efficiency is low, Xia Yi will be able to break through to the realm of the sixth-rank martial artist in such a short period of time? If his cultivation efficiency is higher, then will he fly to the sky?!!!

The roaring voice of the Shang Emperor resounded in the imperial study.

Emperor Shang felt that he had been insulted, Qin Song had deceived himself with such low-level words, he thought in his heart, had he been too indulgent to Qin Song before?!

It wasn't until Lan Tianye came to the imperial study of the Prayer Palace, and when he entered the house, he saw Qin Song, the right minister kneeling on the ground, and he couldn't help but be shocked, understanding that His Majesty was in a very bad mood today, he forced up his spirit and stepped forward to say goodbye.

"Tell me about what I asked you to investigate. The table in front of Emperor Shang had been replaced with a new one, and he was flipping in his hands, but his mind was not on it, and he was always a little distracted.

Hearing this, Lan Tianye bowed down and began to report his findings to Emperor Shang.

However, this answer did not satisfy Emperor Shang, and even made Emperor Shang even more angry. You've been investigating for so long, and the result is just such a simple conclusion, it sounds like you're perfunctory to me, do I look so stupid?!

"It's the low cultivation efficiency again, and the cultivation speed is fast, you can say everything, how can I sound like a story you specially made up?!" Emperor Shang's cold words made Qin Song's whole heart sink to the bottom.

Emperor Shang ignored Qin Song, who was kneeling on the ground, and issued an order again, ordering Zuo Xiang Lan Tianye to enter the palace.

Lan Tianye nodded and said: "According to the survey, none of the people close to them have found anything special about the retreat, but those people are more involved in the study of the Tao Te Ching, and before the retreat, they often talk about the topic of the Tao Te Ching. As for a small group of people, after talking to Xia Yi, they suddenly began to retreat. This is the case with Dean Wu Liang, and so is Huo Tingzhang, the elder of the Discipline Hall. ”

Emperor Shang narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at his left and right phases.

Lan Tianye's investigation results were not satisfactory to him, but the investigation of the two of them was taken together, although the investigation results were not satisfactory, but they could confirm each other, Xia Yi really had no other means, such as magic weapons, pills and the like.

"According to our secret investigation, although Xia Yi is very eye-catching in Longxiang Courtyard these times, the vast majority of people think that Xia Yi is amiable and harmonious, and he is not a person who takes the initiative to cause trouble. Moreover, Xia Yi has never shown any anomalies such as magic weapons. Those who started retreat after Xia Yi joined Longxiang Temple, according to the investigation, did not accept Xia Yi's gifts, and did not have magic weapons and elixirs, and the common characteristics of those who retreated all pointed to that chapter of the Tao Te Ching. ”

Lan Tianye spoke neither fast nor slow, and reported in detail about his acceptance of Emperor Shang's investigation.

"All the people in retreat have all been investigated?" Emperor Shang reconfirmed.

After thinking for a moment, Emperor Shang asked again, "Someone from another academy sneaked into Longxiang Academy to investigate Xia Yi's matter before, did there be any result?"

Lan Tianye replied: "A farce, no one has received useful or strange clues. ”

Emperor Shang nodded, these answers all proved Xia Yi's "innocence", he really only cultivated the secret method of the family's ancestors.

However, I don't know why, Emperor Shang always has a faint uneasiness in his heart, things don't seem to be as simple as what he sees.
