Chapter 75: The Imperfection of Jade
an attendant.Last but not least, Jiang Wang's previous "advice" to Feng Ming was both respectful and persuasive. This impressed Feng Yue greatly, as it was much better than his son's former cronies i...Random Recommendations:

But he did not finally kill the flying moth.
It wasn't just because he was arrogant and couldn't bring himself to draw his sword against a fool. It was also because he knew deep down that a raving Ge Fei wasn't the real cause of Bai Shi's demise.
The then-leader of the Wusheng sect was demoted to the false god level. By that time, Yue Guo had already been warned and prepared for battle. Zhang Linchuan's actions in other countries were mostly unexpected, but Yue Guo, with its national defense array, strong army, powerful government officials, and preparations, could not allow him to come and go as he pleased.
Perhaps the outside world thinks Zhang Linchuan is full of evil and has endless tricks, finding nothing he does surprising. Growing up in Yue country since childhood, he deeply understands the flaws of this nation's jade, but he has never believed in the saying "unexpectedly sparse".
Fengdu roundaboutly handed him the evidence, just supplementing verification, not the key to his perception.
He kept thinking about one question—why was his father Bai Pingfu
The Bai family of Langya has made great contributions to the nation, and they are still contributing today. His father, Bai Pingfu, lived a life of propriety and adherence to rules. Although he lacked the talent for governing the country, he never made any major mistakes or committed any crimes.
Even Bai Pingfu was deeply loyal to the emperor! From a young age, he was taught about righteousness, propriety, benevolence, wisdom, loyalty to the monarch, and love for one's country. Therefore, he diligently studied literature and martial arts, determined to serve his country. He also poured his blood and sweat onto the Guanhetai platform, giving it his all, willing to be injured or die rather than disgrace the national image.
He couldn't figure it out.
He couldn't figure it out, not because he wasn't smart enough, but because he wasn't ruthless enough.
Even standing from the perspective of a wise ruler and loyal ministers, he couldn't think of any reason why Bai Pingfu, such a loyal minister, deserved to die.

Can a ruler punish his ministers without incurring guilt

This year, this autumn, he finally confirmed the answer.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
The turbulent winds and storms of the Southern Region allowed him to touch upon the truth hidden beneath the mud after the rain.
The new policies of Yue Guo, which were implemented suddenly and rather harshly today, have been in the works for many years.
Wen Jingxiu, through Gong Zhliang, made roundabout requests for him to return, hinting and suggesting that he take revenge on his father and swallow the Ge clan. He didn't have any good intentions at all.
>
These people were just trying to push him, make him do what Ge Fei did today - he is more suitable than Ge Fei to become the banner of the family. He is purer, more glorious, and more symbolic.
And regarding Huang Wei's true involvement in the scandal, it was still somewhat sensitive. Otherwise, Wen Jingxiu wouldn't have waited so long, only allowing the scandal to be revealed after Chu hadn't responded.
Bai Yu Xia also had every reason to suspect that Wen Jing Xiu was still interested in his position as the manager of Bai Yu Jing Wine House and wanted to use his connections to drag Jiang Wang into the water. To have the renowned Elder Jiang Ge stand up for his new policies.
That's why he had to coax Jiang Wang away and repeatedly warned Xiang Qian not to tell Jiang Wang.
He decided to face this all alone, completing this long-awaited revenge.
His divine realm strength was indeed no match for Ge Fei's, and he couldn't possibly be like Jiang Wang, slaying the emperor. He was even unwilling to drag Jiang Wang into helping him kill – whether it was Ge Fei or Wen Jingxiu, both were huge problems at present. Whoever it was, it would be difficult to say if they could bear the consequences of killing them.
But revenge doesn't necessarily mean killing. Severing a skull isn't always satisfying.
He wanted to crush Wenjingxiu's grand vision, to tear away the facade of this esteemed ruler. He wanted to turn hard work into a monstrous aberration, back into a creature of myth and legend!
As for himself...
In the boisterous night of Fuzhi City, Bai Yu-Xia drew her sword, pointing it directly at Ge Fei, pushing this grand spectacle to its climax: "Although my cultivation is inferior to yours, Bai insists on fighting for the nation and for the new policies. Fairness for all under heaven, justice for everyone! The Bai clan pledges with blood!"
Tonight, Wen Jingxiu remained silent, Gong Zhliang remained silent, Zhou Sixun and Bian Liang were both motionless.
But they will always break their silence.
Can they stand idly by and watch Bai Yu Xia, the outstanding hero of Yue nation who staunchly defends new policies and loves his country with all his heart, be killed by Ge Fei, whose evidence is irrefutable and who hinders national fairness

That new policy sweeping across the Yue nation now, isn't it a joke! The fairness that the people of the world yearn for, isn't it a lie!
This will remove any HTML tags from the text. Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
Bai Yu Xia raised her sword and attacked Ge Fei: "Come kill me! Or let me cut off your head, sacrifice it to the new government banner, and apologize to the world!"
Ge Fei had a stomach full of grievances and was unable to defend himself. Regarding what the original body had done, he knew less than these people of Fucheng who were listening to all this now. He couldn't even begin to argue.
He found it hard to understand human political games. How could he, the nation's pride, the pillar of the country, a figure poised to take up the grand banner and restore order to the world, suddenly become a traitor
He was still upholding righteousness over kinship with his front foot, and then he became destroying corpses and concealing evidence with his back foot
The same thing can be defined in completely different ways by humans. These completely different definitions can easily change with the words spoken.
There's still a lot Ge Fei needs to learn, and he was genuinely angry and wronged – he could be a scumbag, a jerk, but he never did those things. Why would they blame him for them Find the old Ge Fei!
The master Wen is crude, Gong Zhiliang is truly foolish! They are all self-important fools!

Bringing Bai Yuxia back without making complete preparations. Letting Bai Yuxia's mother go, hoping for a peaceful parting – when people have lost their father, can they peacefully part with you Now her mother, Bai Yuxia, has become a reform vanguard and national defender.
I have become a malignant tumor of the state!
Watching as Bai Yu Xia, with righteous fury, drew her sword and charged towards him, Ge Fei's inner rage was almost uncontrollable.
The reason I said "almost" is because he ultimately held back.
The intent to kill, almost bursting from his eyes, was held back with a Herculean effort, leaving only bloodshot vessels in its wake.
Let your will be the dam, holding back the tide of raging emotions within your flesh.
His figure was like a falling leaf, returning to the yellow earth at this moment.
Though its posture was extremely slow, it departed at incredible speed within a visually distorted perspective.
Finally, autumn has come to an end.
When the comet's tail pierced the long night with brilliant splendor, Ge Fei had vanished.
Bai Yu's flaw was suspended in mid-air, clutching the hilt of his sword, stopping the long saber's howl. Facing the vast night, he remained silent for a moment.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He had imagined many scenarios.
For example, Ge Fei completely abandons his human identity and reveals an unrestrained savagery, which contrasts with his restraint in killing.
For example, Wen Jing Xiushi arrived a step late, “too late” to save him...
He was already prepared for this.
When Bai Yu-xia, who championed the new policy, died at the hands of the enraged Ge Fei. There was no room for compromise between Ge Fei and Yue Guo's new policy anymore. Wen Jing-xu had to choose one side between them. And no matter which side Wen Jing-xu chose, it would inevitably affect Gao Zheng's game of chess.
>
To this day, Bai Yu Xia still doesn't know Gao Zheng's overall plan. He can't get the most core information.
But he understood very well that Gao Zheng was the only person in Yue history who could play against Chu. If Gao Zheng's layout was affected, it would inevitably lead to the collapse of Wen Jingxiu's game.
Even Gao Zheng had to humble himself and endure hardship, hiding away on Yinxiang Peak for so many years. Wen Jingxiu this time is almost openly standing against Chu State. How could he possibly
Bai Yu Xia was determined to fight Re Fei with all her might, to live as long as possible and greet victory. But she also had the awareness of dying for it.
He knew that Jiang Wang would take good care of his elderly mother in the future, and he had no other regrets in his life. The once-cherished fame of a noble family, the glory he yearned for throughout his life, could no longer stir up any ripples in his heart. When he spent all his wealth, divided his land, and gave everything to the people of Langya, he only felt relieved, not regretful.
But...
He had thought long and hard, made preparations on every front, but he hadn't expected this at all.
The rumor of Ge Fei running away turned out to be true.
To still run with such determination, such decisiveness. Not to offer an explanation, not to prove oneself, not even to resort to a killing spree or a random act of aggression!

Could he really be afraid that Wen Jingxiu would kill him
Bai Yu's sword strike, aimed at the empty air, left him momentarily disoriented. He quickly recovered and declared firmly, "Stop him! Ge Fei is a murderer who killed his own parents and fled in fear of punishment. As a citizen of Yue, everyone has the right to kill him!"
Throughout the entire city of Fuzhi, there was an uproar. Everyone was indignant at the ugliness and cruelty of Ge Fei's actions, but they all stopped at verbal condemnation. Very few took any actual action.
Ge Fei is a truly exceptional person, who can anyone catch up to him
Please note: I only translated the text within the > tags.
At this moment, this historic city is blossoming with radiant splendor.
>
Within the radiance, a king's throne is condensed.
Behind the throne, there were faint sounds of rivers roaring and mountains guarding. The scene was dazzling with brilliant lights, phoenixes dancing and dragons flying.
The phantom of King Wenjingxiu of Yue, sat on that exalted throne, casting eyes that were deep and unfathomable: "Bai Yu Xia, you have done well."
"The common people are just doing their duty!" Bai Yexia didn't mind putting on a show of loyalty to the people. He shouted, "That traitor Ge Fei is fleeing out of fear of punishment. Your Majesty must not let him get away. This scoundrel has a heart of a wolf and a lung of a dog; every day he lives is another day he harms countless people!"
“Your Majesty, have no worries. Whoever dares to obstruct the new policies or undermine justice, I will not show them any mercy!” Wen Jingxiu also displayed the emperor's anger: “Pass down the order, immediately seal off the borders. Deploy the army and search every inch of land! Jia Kui, you are personally in charge of this matter. You must bring Ge Fei back for questioning. I want to see his true face!”
Of course, the National Defense Array was activated. Bian Liang once again led Yue Jia out on a campaign.
In Fuzhi City, people knelt down everywhere, and the commoners shouted long life to the emperor.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The whole process felt incredibly natural and smooth, like it had been rehearsed countless times.
Bai Yu Xia felt a slight sense of unease.
Everything tonight went smoothly, including the key evidence gathered beforehand, the timing of the move after the extermination of Ge Fei's faction, and even Wen Jingxiu's attitude at this moment - most details matched the plan perfectly. He did a great job.
Unlike the plan, the cruel and violent, out-of-control Gerphil chose to run away.
It was also at this moment that Wen Jingxiu had to step forward and express his stance. There was no anger, hatred, or even killing intent in his eyes.
Wen Jingxiu showed no anger, nor any murderous intent. This could only mean one thing—the king of Yue had not been retaliated against.
Could it be that the reform rumors are not important
What is the most important thing in Wen Jingxiu's plan
“I’m going to help General Bian!” Bai Yuxia made a quick decision, drew her sword, and walked away: “Even if I have to chase him to the ends of the earth, I will catch that dog thief Ge Fei and bring him back. I will force him to spit out every last copper coin he stole from the people and make him kneel down and apologize to the elders of Yue Country!”
"Wait!"
Wenjing Xu raised his hand and pressed down on Bai Yu Xia's body, using the power of the state to subdue her. His voice was very soft: "A child of a thousand gold shouldn't be idle at home. Yu Xia, although Ge Fei is cunning and unreliable, he does have some merit. You are the pillar of the country. Why risk your life for him A hundred Ge Feis wouldn't be worth as much to me as you."
A sense of foreboding grew stronger in Bai Yu's heart. He spoke out boldly, "Your Majesty, you are the ruler of all people; you must not speak such words. General Bian is willing to risk his life, and the Yue Jia soldiers are also willing to risk their lives. Why can I, Bai Yu, not risk my life For the country and the people, I will disregard my own safety! If you prevent commoners from pursuing the rebel, isn't that a lack of trust in our determination Today, I swear on the heavens, I must capture this bandit—"
This line of code simply ends a paragraph. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Jade Xia, don't panic when encountering things! Your Majesty has taught you long ago that the more critical the situation, the more important it is to proceed gradually. How come after years of cultivation with Elder Jiang, you are still so impetuous" Emperor Wenzheng showed no reservation in his regard for Bai Yu Xia, even his criticism sounded very kind: "Rest assured, Ge Fei will definitely not escape. The reason why I didn't let you chase Ge Fei is because I have a more important task assigned to you. You are a national talent, you should be painting landscapes and securing borders, how can you stoop to the task of catching thieves"
Mr. Jiang! Mr. Jiang!
When Wen Jingxiu suddenly brought up that name, Bai Yuxia's heart skipped a beat. He felt like he already saw the net coming down, covering the sky and the earth, with nowhere to hide. But he couldn't see it clearly.
What's the problem
No time to think about it anymore!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“The most important thing in the world is the well-being of the people! Capturing and killing Ge Fei and giving the people an explanation is the most urgent task right now—Your Majesty, the situation is critical. Whatever happens, wait until I bring back Ge Fei's head before we speak again! Forgive me!” Bai Yu Xia decisively launched her sword qi, her Comet Tail Sword roaring in her hand, and the night sky responded with a dazzling streak of starlight.
Tonight, the comet streaks across the heavens. The endless night is pierced open, and Baiyu Xie transforms her body into emptiness.
He figured Wen Jingxiu wouldn't make things too embarrassing, so he pushed his way through the crowd and insisted on leaving. The bigger the scene, the more it protected him.
But Wen Jingxiu's hand lightly brushed across the throne, and the rainbow streak in the night sky gradually faded away. The comet-tailed sword in Baiyu Xias' palm instantly dissipated its sword energy and extinguished its blade light. His golden body of jade marrow was left clumsily suspended in mid-air.
“Whatever needs to be said will be said.” Wen Jingxiu gazed at Bai Yu Xie with an admiring look: "Bai Aiqing, the Linyang Bai clan, generations of loyalty and valor. Your father was steadfast, and so are you. Since you stand on the side of national reform for fairness, fight for it, and expose the injustice of Ge Fei—this is precisely when the nation needs you, this is precisely when the reform needs you, you surely will not shirk your responsibility at this time!”
Of course, Bai Yu Xia would push the blame.
But Wen Jingxiu didn't give him a chance to speak, continuing: "Gao Xiang said 'selecting officials should be fair and impartial, regardless of their status,' and Bai Aiqing also said 'justice for all under heaven,' which pleases my heart! I have decided to remove Ge Feiyi from his post as the right censor and appoint you, Bai Yu Xia, as the new right censor. No, the position of right censor is not enough to commend your sincerity. I will elevate you to the left censor, allowing you to oversee all matters of the court!"
The emperor of Yue sat upon his throne and looked down upon all, asking, "What do you all think Is the position worth the flawless white jade of the Bai family from Langya"
The people of Fuji City all shouted: “Fair!”
>
"Long live the Emperor!!!"
Even some people have already shouted "White General Constitution!"
Bai Yu's body remained suspended in the air, but her heart sank endlessly.
It was only then that he realized he was still trapped in the game.
>
He tried his best to avoid Gong Zhiliang's trap and not become Yue Ting's pawn, but after much deliberation, he was still forced into this position, trapped in this game.
In the darkness, it seemed as if an invisible hand had long since set out the chessboard. All his painstaking efforts, all his maneuvers, failed to deviate from the predetermined course.
He overestimated himself and underestimated Wen Jingxiu!
He thought that his preparation over this period was a long-term lurking, accumulating strength for a decisive strike. He would strike like lightning, delivering a heavy blow to the game. But perhaps everything he did in Yue country was under Wen Jingxiu's watchful eye. What he thought was taking flight turned out to be walking into a trap.
No—not Wen Jingxiu!
This is not Wen Jingxiu's handwriting, nor could Gong Zhiliang have written it.
He had carefully studied Wenjing Xiu's style of play. This King of Yue preferred to keep a low profile, never showing his sharp edge openly. Gong Zhiliang was merely a conservative talent; his ability lay only in completing the tasks assigned by Gaozheng. He lacked the skill to manipulate such a complex situation.
To take a step back further, if it were Wen Jingxiu or Gong Zhiliang's scheme, with his intelligence, it would be impossible for him to have been completely unaware beforehand. He had studied these two people for too long.
There are still players behind the scenes!
>
Who is it!
Bai Yu Xia felt as if she was in a fog-shrouded, desolate wasteland. There was no way forward, and no way back. She looked in all directions, but being trapped within the mountains, she couldn't see the full picture of them at all.
But he clearly felt the danger approaching. In this dark and long night, a bloody maw that chose its victims was already open.
>
When will the fatal blow come
Once she decided to seek revenge, choosing to stay alone and fight for justice for her father, Bai Yu Xia had the awareness that she might lose everything.
He is not afraid of danger, but he absolutely cannot...
At this moment, Wen Jingxiu's voice rang out: “Good, good! Since Elder Jiang supports me like this, how could I disappoint him!”
"Bai Yu Xia almost screamed her lungs out, "What does he have to do with me! I've left Bai Yu Jing, and Jiang Wang has nothing to do with me anymore!"
But he was horrified to find that his voice couldn't get out at all.
No, his voice had gone out.
When people heard the sound of Bai Yu Xia's voice, they shouted: "Long live Your Majesty! I will fight for the country and die without regret!"
At this moment, Bai Yu Xia felt the malice coming from Wen Jing Xiu.
This is almost a replay of the previous scene.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Just as he implicated people like Liu Zhiguang and Zeng Shixian, smearing their reputations beyond repair. Even if Bai Yuxia was unwilling, she could still be linked to Jiang Wang!
He was the manager of Baiyijing Restaurant, the only acknowledged and always-accompanied attendant of Jiang Wang. How could their relationship possibly be severed
Doesn't he know this He does.
He refused Jiang Wang's kindness and wouldn't move to Xingyueyuan. Isn't that because he was worried that if too many people had contact with Jiang Wang, it would inevitably affect him
But he was overconfident in his intelligence, believing he could handle the affairs of Yue alone, cleanly and without involving others. As it turned out, he was wrong!
Wen Jingxiu wanted to use everything he made.
He wanted to break free from everything, but he couldn't.
At this time, Wen Jingxiu represented Yue Ting and forcefully linked the political reforms of Yue State to Jiang Wang, a member of Tai Xu Pavilion. His actions were certainly not limited to this.
Bai Yu Xia could fully anticipate the endless stream of moves that awaited him. This game of killing chess had been initiated, and he was left with no choice but to constantly parry attacks, running tirelessly until he could no longer save his own central palace.
In this process, chariots, horses, cannons and scholars all fill whatever roles are needed, dying for whatever cause.
He could even imagine many possibilities himself.
He doesn't want Jiang Wang to become someone who is always running around and exhausted.
He felt a tremendous sense of despair!
... just like his throat was gripped by an invisible force, causing him to feel the suffocating dread of drowning.
Since Jiang Wang took office, he has never shown favoritism to any faction in his duties. He has not formed a cabinet department, granted private power, or sought empty gains. Every proposal he has made has been aimed at promoting the development of the entire cultivation world.
He can be called innocent! And he has always enjoyed the highest reputation among you.
Today, will he be dragged into this complicated and murky game involving the countries of Yue, Chu, and Huang Wei Zhen because of a single flaw Will it force him to abandon his impartial stance as a member of Tai Xu Ge Will he be pulled from the clouds and dragged into the mud, unable to remain above it all
Wénjǐng Xiù was still speaking, and Xuānshēng could still be heard.
The emperor's words, every inch hammered and nailed down the so-called "truth."
Just like Ge Fei a moment ago, Bai Yu Xia was speechless. Even his voice could not be heard, leaving no words to defend him.
That's not clear!
At this moment, a dazzling light burst from Bai Yu Xia's exquisitely beautiful eyes, making it impossible to look directly at them.
He gazed towards the Big Dipper, murmuring: "For seven years I've served you, yet brought no benefit. I am a blemish on white jade, today I erase myself for you. May you remain innocent, and from now on be free from harm."
The Yuan Shen Sea, the Cang Xing Sea, the Wu Fu Sea, and the Tong Tian Sea all stir together, churning up monstrous waves.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
A terrifying sword energy erupted within him, exploding with unstoppable force from the inside out, shattering this godlike form.
He would rather die than be a pawn of Wen Jingxiu!
Wénjǐng Xiù's phantom rose from the throne at this moment, swiftly solidifying into reality. He wanted to stop Báiyùxiá's suicide—but how could he possibly be in time
A comet-like blaze of white, almost translucently revealing the jade-like skin. It illuminated his already fair complexion to resemble parchment. The delicate flesh was about to tear.
At this moment, people seemed to finally remember the person standing on the viewing platform by the river. Back then, in that gathering of influential figures where every step brought news from all corners of the world, he refused the guaranteed spot in the main competition. He only wanted a victory earned through fair means, ultimately achieving his triumph after a bloody battle.
And today, he only sought a death that was honorable and upright, not to cling to life in the game like a pawn, nor would he ever become a puppet string controlled by others.
The comet will blaze again tonight, shining brightly in the long night.
The world seems to have blossomed with a second full moon.
The tragic end of heroes and heroines is always a painting that the world will never forget.
People's eyes widened as they saw —
One hand presses against "Bright Moon".
In a blue shirt, he stood beside the fading brilliance.
There stood a figure so tall and upright, in this dark long night, with a spine that seemed to pierce the heavens.
He looked at the emperor of Yue with a cold gaze, but slowly said in a calm voice: "I am not jade, I need not be flawless!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The blade's light, which erupted from Bai Yu Xia internally and externally, was being pressed back little by little.
