Chapter 378: Grand Tutor Turns Out to Be a Eunuch

However, the True Word Talisman on Chong Ba seemed to have no effect at all. He stared blankly at chief manager Wang and then grinned foolishly, "Food, food... eat food..."

Chief manager Wang was stunned for a moment, then asked again, "Chong Ba! I’m asking you, how did your master achieve Genital Rebirth?"

Chong Ba seemed as if he couldn’t hear him, looking around the room for something to eat.

Chief manager Wang became furious, kicking over a stool in anger. "Chu Hanming! How dare you deceive me!"

His voice cracked from anger, sounding very harsh.

Xue’er quietly stepped back, not wanting to get involved.

However, at this moment, another crisp voice sounded in the room, "His soul is fragmented, his memories are chaotic, the True Word Talisman naturally won’t work on him."

Xue’er was startled. "Who’s speaking?"

Was there a fourth person in the room?

Chief manager Wang’s face turned pale upon hearing that voice.

The voice was melodious and clear, unique and spiritual. Anyone who heard it once would remember it clearly.

Especially after just tricking Chu Hanming, now hearing the voice of the Ninth Princess, he trembled all over, his legs weakened, and he knelt on the ground.

Nanli, who was hiding in the corner, saw chief manager Wang so frightened and found it amusing. She removed her invisibility talisman and revealed herself.

Xue’er widened her eyes, surprised. "Where did this fairy come from?"

Although Nanli was dressed plainly, her face was exceptional, with delicate features and a hint of coldness, unforgettable at first sight.

Chief manager Wang’s complexion became even more pale. The Ninth Princess must have followed him and now knew about his actions!

He hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground, begging, "I deserve to die! Ninth Princess, spare me!"

In this room, Nanli couldn’t find a clean stool to sit on, so she had to stand.

She said, "Then tell me why you deserve to die."

"I... I just wanted to become a normal man so badly, so I was confused and set a trap to force Lord Chu to give me a True Word Talisman," chief manager Wang’s voice trembled.

Nanli stepped forward and glanced at Chong Ba. "Could it be... Chong Ba’s master really is a eunuch?"

Chief manager Wang was stunned.

Instead of blaming him for setting a trap against Chu Hanming, she asked about Chong Ba, leaving him momentarily unable to react.

"Speak," Nanli grew impatient.

Chong Jiu was still confined in the Wang Mansion, but today she unexpectedly saw Chong Ba. Judging from the name, they might be from the same master.

But this information was explosive. Chong Jiu’s master must have considerable abilities if he could possibly be a eunuch?!

It wasn’t that eunuchs couldn’t cultivate, but without that thing, a man’s vitality was damaged, making it difficult to reach the peak.

Chief manager Wang regained his composure and said, "Yes, Chong Ba’s master is indeed a eunuch. He... he said he could become a normal man in the future. I occasionally encountered Chong Ba and was curious to know the secret."

Nanli continued, "His name is Chong Ba. Does he also have senior brothers named Chong Yi, Chong San, Chong Si, Chong Wu, Chong Liu, and Chong Qi? Or maybe a younger brother named Chong Jiu?"

Chief manager Wang looked at Nanli with admiration. "Ninth Princess, how did you know?"

It turned out the Ninth Princess was so formidable, knowing everything!

Nanli crossed her arms and said, "I caught someone named Chong Jiu before. If I couldn’t guess this much, my brain would be rusty."

Chief manager Wang was slightly surprised. "You caught Chong Jiu? He is the most valued disciple of Grand Tutor, ah."

He had vaguely heard that the Black Armor Guard was busy and had confined a man in Prince Yu Mansion. People speculated privately about the man’s identity. Now it seemed highly likely that the man was Chong Jiu.

"Grand Tutor?" Nanli’s expression changed uncontrollably, her eyes widened. "Grand Tutor is a eunuch?!"

Another explosive revelation!

Chief manager Wang wasn’t surprised. He said truthfully:

"It’s normal for the princess not to know. When Grand Tutor was young, he served in the Astrology Observatory. Because of his outstanding talent, he gained the appreciation and promotion of the previous Grand Tutor, who made an exception to take him as a disciple and personally taught him."

"At that time, Grand Tutor was just a young eunuch, and few people knew him. The outgoing Grand Tutor intentionally concealed this, so very few people knew about it."

Here, chief manager Wang patted his chest and chuckled, "But I entered the palace with him to serve, then transferred to the Astrology Observatory, so I know about this hidden matter."

Nanli listened with a solemn expression.

She hadn’t expected that Chong Jiu’s revered master was Grand Tutor, and that he was a eunuch.

Grand Tutor had achieved such prowess despite his physical condition, indicating not only exceptional talent but also likely considerable effort.

"Chong Jiu is Grand Tutor’s disciple. Why do Wangye and Qing Feng not recognize him? Has he never appeared before?" Nanli asked again.

"That’s right," chief manager Wang nodded repeatedly. "Yao Sheng, also known as Grand Tutor, did indeed take in several disciples after being appointed as Grand Tutor. But privately, he also adopted many orphans as disciples. They were of lesser status, and because he trusted me, he often let me take care of them or send them money. Yao Sheng never let others know about their existence."

Nanli’s lips twitched slightly, revealing a hint of mockery.

Such concealment was hardly the behavior of a nobleman.

If Grand Tutor’s various schemes were truly for the good of the people, she wouldn’t believe it.

"What about Genital Rebirth?" Nanli speculated, linking it to what Chong Jiu was currently doing.

Chief manager Wang coughed and, seeing her lack of embarrassment, stopped hesitating.

He folded his hands and said, "I overheard it by chance. Yao Sheng... Grand Tutor, gathered his disciples and said he had found a way to achieve Genital Rebirth. But I didn’t hear much because it soon became quiet in the room."

He knew Chong Ba was in the room at the time, so he planned to use the True Word Talisman to find out this secret.

Unexpectedly, he had ended up hurting himself. The thought of losing his head made him deeply regretful.

"It probably involved using talismans," Nanli rubbed her chin.

She then looked at Chong Ba, who was foolishly gnawing on a piece of wood. When he saw her looking at him, he grinned and said, "Sister, are you hungry? I’ll give this to you to eat."

Nanli walked over. "Don’t eat that. Sister will buy you something else to eat later."

Chong Ba obediently allowed Nanli to take away the wood.

She then took out a Soul Gathering Talisman and replaced the True Word Talisman on Chong Ba’s forehead.

If the soul could gather and repair itself, the runes would emit a faint red light.

But the runes were now dim and unresponsive.

Nanli sighed lightly. "His soul damage is too severe. It seems we can’t get any information from him."
