Earlier in Chengqian Palace, Director Zhang wanted to confess everything. But on second thought, he hesitated and eventually suppressed the matter.
He was old, and even if he died, it wouldn't matter much.
However, his grandson was exceptionally talented, a fine material for scholarly pursuits. Next year, he was set to take the imperial examination, and Director Zhang had to consider his grandson's future!
Reporting this matter to the Crown Prince took considerable determination.
Normally, he was opposed to this demon, but the opponent remained unharmed. They merely argued verbally, which wasn't too damaging.
However, if he completely opposed the demon and caused him to lose the Emperor's favor, Xia Qing wouldn't spare him.
"Humph! That Tianji Taoist is indeed suspicious. What's his motive? Why didn't Director Zhang report this to father just now in Chengqian Palace?"
