Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

Chapter 972: Chapter 972: Treasured Heavily Chapter 972: Chapter 972: Treasured Heavily Discovering that Wang Chen’s identity plaque was genuine, Shangguan Pengfei suddenly felt as if he was in a sticky situation.

The Blood Cloak Guard, the Imperial Guard, and the Feathered Forest Guard, collectively known as the Imperial Three Guards, are the close personal guards of the Emperor of Great Liang, and Wang Chen, as a member of the Blood Cloak Guard and Thousand Household rank, was in no way inferior to him, a mere Captain.

Not to mention that Wang Chen also held the rank of Captain!

Even if a capital official was one tier higher, Shangguan Pengfei had no right to issue orders to Wang Chen, let alone to use his status to intimidate him.

Moreover, how could a Blood Cloak Guard of Thousand Household rank who was so young not have some skills and backing?

The problem was that Shangguan Pengfei and Elder Mu had collaborated more than once in cheating outsiders, and with such a significant conflict erupting between them this time, how were they to conclude the matter?

The thought of killing to silence someone flashed through Shangguan Pengfei’s mind.

But it was immediately suppressed.

Not to mention whether he could kill Wang Chen or not, the sudden disappearance of a Blood Cloak Guard of Thousand Household rank was no small matter. Besides, with so many eyes around, if word got out, Shangguan Pengfei simply could not bear the consequences.

It might even implicate his own family!

His thoughts raced, and Shangguan Pengfei put on a amiable smile, “So it’s Thousand Household Wang, this is truly like a flood washing away the Dragon King Temple, family members unable to recognize their own, a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!”

In truth, although the Blood Cloak Guard and the Imperial Guard were close to the Emperor, they were completely unrelated to one another and their relationship had never been truly friendly.
