Chapter 169 The Emperor is Dishonest
"Brother Heming made a vow beneath the hundred-foot-high walls of Quancheng that he would one day ascend to the Saintly rank in his mortal body..."
The day I attain sainthood will be the day I return to Jinan and reunite with the Huang family's daughter…
"Didn't Old Master Xu tell you that he has already attained sainthood?" Lü Fengxian poured him tea. "Moreover, once I'm done with this busy period, I'll help him propose marriage to the Huang family."
"Is that so..." The Gu family head's expression was not quite right.
Lu Fengxian, who had been a flirt since childhood, naturally noticed the special relationship between the head of the family and Old Master Xu.
“Master Gu, although I helped Elder Xu before, I can help you now.”
As he spoke, he took out several bottles of pills from his storage space.
He paused for a moment, then said, "I can help you regain your youth. If you work hard then, you might just get what you want."
"Please don't refuse yet, let me finish..."
I know that your relationship is not so superficial. In your heart, Mr. Xu's wish being fulfilled takes much higher priority than your own.
I know you came for Mr. Xu's sake, not for your own...
I'm telling you, the marriage team that's helping Elder Xu with his betrothal is still short-handed. I hope you can transfer a few people from the Gu family. I'll use elixirs to accelerate their cultivation to the peak of the Heavenly Rank, and then see if they can advance to the Saintly Rank...
If only Elder Xu attains sainthood, it clearly doesn't fulfill the promise made in the past, so... you understand...
To put it bluntly, I need a few 'guinea pigs'.
After speaking, Lü Fengxian waited for a reply.
The head of the Gu family was excited. "Young Marquis, do you possess the method to attain sainthood? Is it true?"
"Of course it's true, and my grandfather was also a guinea pig once, and the results were pretty good, but it's also possible that his cultivation level is too high, so we can't generalize."
Lu Fengxian paused for a moment, then said, "I need some guinea pigs with lower cultivation levels to test the versatility of the Saint-Entering Pill. I hope Patriarch Gu can cooperate. If this is successful, the Gu family's status will rise accordingly."
"Young Marquis, such a generous gesture cannot be merely out of kindness, can it?" The Gu family head naturally understood the deeper meaning. "I understand that you intend to win us over, but I need to return to my clan to discuss this matter and cannot give an immediate answer..."
However, I'm willing to be a 'guinea pig' this time, even if I fail, it doesn't matter, since I'm already old and faded, and don't have many years left to live."
“No rush, your story isn’t finished yet, is it?” Lü Fengxian took a sip of tea. “Since you’re already here, why not finish your story?”
"Young Master Marquis truly has discerning eyes; he can see right through people's hearts..."
Upon hearing this, the head of the Gu family nodded, and then began to tell another story...
No, to be precise, it's a major secret!
A secret about the [Imperial Tomb Secret Realm]...
"The Secret Realm of the Imperial Tomb..."
This story is related to the battle in the secret realm of the imperial tomb more than a decade ago…
……
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Outside the official post station in Yong'an City, outside Eunuch Lin's room...
"Eavesdropping on the Grand Eunuch's conversation, Young Master, you're really bold..." Night Owl held the concealment talisman, sweating profusely. "But to protect Young Master's great kindness, I, Night Owl, am willing to risk everything!"
After muttering those words to himself, he stuck the stethoscope-shaped listening device on the wall and listened carefully.
"Sun Juechen," Eunuch Lin said, sipping his tea, "how long have you been under my tutelage?"
"Reporting to the Grand Eunuch, I was castrated and entered the palace at the age of eight. For ten years, I served in the inner court. Fortunately, His Majesty favored me and I was specially recruited into the Imperial Household Department. I have been serving under the Grand Eunuch for three years now..."
"Very good, it's good that you always remember His Majesty's kindness." Eunuch Lin nodded. "You're considered a senior member of the Imperial Household Department, although you're of average talent, lack ability, and have little experience..."
He paused for a moment after saying this.
"But His Majesty values diligence in his people, so it's time to give you more responsibilities..."
Clang!
Sun Juechen kowtowed in gratitude, "This servant thanks the Grand Eunuch for his promotion!"
Hey.
"No need to thank me, this is all His Majesty's will..." Eunuch Lin put down his teacup. "Hereby bestow upon Sun Juechen the Imperial Guard and the Fish-shaped Tally, appointing him as the Commander-in-Chief of the Iron Wall Army, in charge of the entire Southern Wilderness Joint Defense Line..."
You shall organize and strengthen the army, ensuring the stability of the border and easing my worries. I expect you to live up to my trust, diligently fulfilling your duties. This is my decree.”
Hearing these words, the night owls outside were in an uproar.
"Damn it, that son of a bitch Emperor sent Lord Tianlong a superior? This is really targeting him. I thought the young master was just worrying unnecessarily..."
A mere castrated dog dares to command the entire army? Bah!
Bang bang bang!
“This servant will do her utmost to live up to His Majesty’s grace,” Sun Juechen kowtowed repeatedly, “and will be a careful supervisor, daring not to be negligent in the slightest!”
She paused, then said, "This servant thanks you, Eunuch!"
at the same time…
After Lü Fengxian finished her negotiations with the Gu family head, she saw him off.
"Master Gu, that matter still requires a few days of preparation. Please wait for my notification."
After saying that, he handed over the bottles of pills. "Old Xu has hair now, you should regain your youth too. You're welcome, consider this your reward as payment for being a 'guinea pig'."
"This old woman awaits your good news, Your Excellency."
After saying this, the Gu family head left, accompanied by Lü Chun.
Immediately afterwards, Lü Fengxian returned to the main building of the East Courtyard.
"Miaomiao...you?"
He saw Huang Miaoyin lying comfortably on the bed wrapped in a bathrobe, her figure fully exposed. Lü Fengxian couldn't help but have a nosebleed, looking quite disheveled.
"You're spineless and have no self-control." Huang Miaoyin pouted. "I'm warning you, you can only look, not touch. I won't let you touch me until you become a saint."
Lü Fengxian ignored her and pounced onto the bed.
However, Huang Miaoyin raised her jade foot and used the sole of her foot to block Lü Fengxian's face. With a little force, she kicked the latter away.
"You want to go to bed without showering?" she said coquettishly.
"forget…"
Lu Fengxian scratched her head awkwardly and ran to the bathroom in the blink of an eye.
Upon arriving at the bathroom, I took off my clothes, jumped into the bathtub, and immediately activated the ice bath mode to force myself to calm down and allow my blood-pumping limbs to gradually subside.
"Calm down, Lü Fengxian, you must calm down. You're only at the peak of the Heaven Rank right now, you can't even break through her 'defense,' so getting agitated won't help..."
He kept hypnotizing himself to calm down.
After all, it's impossible not to feel restless when a beautiful woman is in bed, but unfortunately, one can't break through one's defenses.
