While enjoying the fine wine and food, Su Yu kept glancing at the shadow.
He has been in Kyoto for quite some time now.
But he never really interacted with the shadow.
Although I visited the Censorate once.
But it was just to deliver the manuscript of "Dream of the Red Chamber" that was awaiting approval from the Eighth Bureau.
Regardless of the shrewd and powerful Dean Chen.
Dean Chen remained by his side, protecting him like a shadow.
Su Yu had no chance to meet him.
After all, he was just an ordinary candidate for the imperial examination when he first entered Kyoto.
Of course, Su Yu was aware of this.
The Imperial Censorate holds a very important position in Kyoto.
Given the identities of those two individuals.
Even now, as the top scorer in the imperial examination, he is also a renowned physician in the capital.
It's unlikely to attract much of their attention, let alone lead to any interaction.
It's hard to say for Chen Pingping, after all, Su Yu is Fan Xian's tutor.
He will probably still pay some attention.
After all, this old fox controls the Overwatch Council and has connections everywhere.
But he is most concerned about Ye Qingmei and the people related to her.
That is, Fan Xian.
But what about shadows?
Su Yu was quite certain that he paid absolutely no attention to her.
If it weren't for Wu Zhu being here, Shadow wouldn't have come here.
After all, Fei Jie was the head of the Third Bureau of the Censorate and a master of poisons.
The shadow treated him with utter disdain.
Not to mention someone like himself, a weak scholar who doesn't know martial arts.
It was precisely because he felt in his heart that he was just an insignificant little scholar.
And his most admired idol, the Five Greats, lives here with him.
It was dinner with me again.
That's why the shadow cast that extremely puzzled yet extremely envious look at me just now.
Thinking of this, Su Yu smiled faintly.
If the shadow knew.
Actually, the five of them were just there to have a meal with us.
And this table is full of delicious food.
All of this was done for him, a mere weak scholar, by the five great men he looked up to, who were like towering mountains.
Wouldn't that shadow be devastated?
After a slight smile, Su Yu stopped thinking about it.
He straightened up slightly, picked up a few bites of his favorite dishes, and placed them on the plate in front of him.
Awaiting the imminent battle that is about to erupt.
After all, Shadow does possess a certain unconscious sense of humor.
But more than anything, he was an extremely skilled martial artist and a highly professional assassin.
He was also the elderly man in the wheelchair's trusted bodyguard and business partner.
Su Yu didn't know much about Shadow, but she had a rough understanding of him.
The Sixth Division of the Supervisory Council is specifically responsible for handling assassination matters.
The Shadow is the head of the Sixth Division of the Overwatch Council.
He was also the undisputed number one assassin in the Qing Kingdom.
His strength is at the ninth rank.
He remained hidden around Chen Pingping year-round, protecting his safety.
Chen Pingping once commented on him: "One shadow is worth a thousand cavalry!"
This clearly demonstrates the immense strength of the Shadow, a powerful expert of the ninth rank.
Shadow is a complete martial arts fanatic.
He devoted his entire life to the art of martial arts.
He admired the strong in this world. (Novel group 811.737666)
He didn't care about anyone except martial arts experts.
Shadow is an extremely hardworking, extremely patient and restrained person.
Because he desperately wanted to become stronger and to obtain ultimate power.
Su Yu understood as well.
The root cause of all this is the unwavering belief in revenge in Shadow's heart.
Because the person he wanted to take revenge on was too strong.
To kill that person, he had to become stronger than him.
And that's difficult.
Because that person was Si Gu Jian from Dongyi City.
He is recognized worldwide as a pinnacle of martial arts, one of the four grandmasters.
Anyone who practices martial arts will know this.
To become a Grandmaster, or even surpass a Grandmaster, is incredibly difficult.
It's almost impossible.
A ninth-rank expert is indeed a rare and exceptional master in the world.
However, when facing a Grandmaster, they are still utterly helpless, a world apart from each other.
The gap between a ninth-rank master and a grandmaster is like an insurmountable chasm, extremely difficult to cross.
It is said that the nine ranks are not easy to cultivate, and becoming a grandmaster is even more difficult.
Whether it's Si Gu Jian of Dongyi City, Ku He of Northern Qi, or that one in the palace.
They all became grandmasters because they obtained Ye Qingmei's martial arts manuals.
Clearly, their martial arts manuals could not be passed on to others.
The woman who might have possessed other martial arts manuals that could lead to becoming a grandmaster is now dead.
For Shadow to want to become a Grandmaster by killing a Grandmaster is nothing short of a pipe dream.
Su Yu smiled.
Shadow was a fool by nature.
He was only a ninth-rank official, but he was determined to kill that grandmaster.
No matter the method, no matter how much effort or how many years it takes.
Of course, Su Yu was aware of this as well.
Shadow is a martial arts fanatic, but not an idiot.
All his efforts to become a grandmaster were actually traceable.
Just like how he protected Chen Pingping and obeyed Chen Pingping's orders.
This is because Chen Pingping is in charge of the Supervisory Council.
They possess intelligence about the entire world and can mobilize the powerful Black Knights.
Chen Pingping's promise to help him avenge Dongyi City was undoubtedly a powerful ally.
Just like how he admired Wu Zhu and desperately wanted to fight Wu Zhu once.
This includes elements of shadows admiring the strong and worshipping absolute power.
Similarly, there is another reason.
Because the shadow knew that there was once a person who did not have a martial arts manual.
He also became a Grandmaster.
That person was Ye Liuyun from the Ye family.
And this is a very important reason why Ye Liuyun became a Grandmaster.
He had once fought against Wu Zhu.
Therefore, in Shadow's view, this might be an opportunity.
Perhaps he can learn something from fighting Wu Zhu once.
There are only three ways for a martial artist to become a strong person.
Either they are talented, have extremely high comprehension, and learn much faster than others.
He can learn in one year what others take ten years to learn.
Either train hard with all your might and hone your skills in desperate situations.
As long as you can't practice to death, practice to death.
