Seeing Wei Zhenzhen instantly become a grandmaster, the women were all stunned.

Murong Fu instructed, "Zhenzhen has not yet fully mastered her internal energy. You should teach her more to help her stabilize her cultivation as soon as possible."

"knew."

The women nodded with complicated expressions.

After thinking it over, Murong Fu left them another secret manual before he left.

The girls opened the manual: "The Evil-Repelling Sword Technique?"

Naturally, this is the version that doesn't require self-castration.

This sword technique can be learned quickly and is extremely powerful, making it an essential skill for beginners.

...

The Ministry of Personnel.

"Father-in-law, your internal strength is quite impressive."

"who?!"

Shi Zhixuan awoke with a start and immediately exited his cultivation state, nearly suffering a qi deviation.

Murong Fu said with a half-smile, "Of course it's me, your son-in-law. You just officiated at my wedding yesterday, and you've already forgotten? Could it be that another personality has come out?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Zhixuan was startled again. He quickly stood up, clasped his hands in greeting, and said calmly, "So it's you, senior. You flatter me. I was just confused during my cultivation and didn't realize it for a moment."

Murong Fu patted his shoulder and said, "It's good that you're alright. Take me to the palace."

Shi Zhixuan was flattered and embarrassed. He smiled awkwardly and said with a fawning smile, "Senior... there are also Grandmasters in the palace. I'm afraid it won't be easy to get in."

"You mean to say that the Grandmasters in the palace are more terrifying than me?"

Murong Fu glanced at him with a smile.

As if a tremendous force was pressing down on him, Shi Zhixuan knelt down on the spot, sweating profusely and panting heavily.

Shi Zhixuan stared blankly, completely stunned. There was no way that the Grandmaster in the palace was as powerful as the person in front of him.

This is not due to superior martial arts skills.

This kind of gaze, regarding all things as mere straw dogs, transcends even the martial artist.

Shi Zhixuan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Excuse me for asking, but what brings you to the palace, senior?"

"Nothing serious, just curious to go take a look."

Murong Fu said calmly.

"Going to see out of curiosity?" Shi Zhixuan was dumbfounded. Would a normal person go to the palace to see the emperor out of curiosity?

Are emperors wild animals? Want to go watch out of curiosity?

suddenly.

Shi Zhixuan choked up; a normal person wouldn't react like that.

But the person before him is a Grandmaster, one of the most outstanding figures in the world. In his eyes, the emperor is probably no different from a rare animal.

In that case, it seems quite reasonable to go to see the emperor out of curiosity?

Shi Zhixuan found a reasonable explanation and was immediately relieved.

"Senior, I'll take you into the palace..."

"No need for that. Just give me directions."

Before he could finish speaking, Murong Fu grabbed Shi Zhixuan by the neck as if he were a chick and took off into the air.

Shi Zhixuan swallowed hard. So this is a Grandmaster? He was indeed far superior to his so-called half-step Grandmaster. He couldn't sense any trace of internal energy at all, as if flying was an instinct.

soon.

We arrived above the palace.

"That's the Ziwei Palace over there, which is the emperor's temporary palace."

Shi Zhixuan pointed to the palace ahead and hesitated, "Senior, may I...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Murong Fu carried him into the palace.

The Sui Emperor was watching a song and dance performance when he suddenly saw someone enter. He was startled, glanced at Shi Zhixuan, and then fixed his fierce eyes on Murong Fu.

"Minister Pei, what's going on here?"

(Shi Zhixuan used the alias Pei Ju in the imperial court.)

Shi Zhixuan said awkwardly, "Your Majesty, this is...this is my friend. He has long admired Your Majesty and specially requested that I bring him here so that he can meet Your Majesty."

"I see. Someone, please have a seat!"

Emperor Sui stroked his beard and waved his hand.

Immediately, eunuchs brought over tables, chairs, and various delicacies.

After Murong Fu and Shi Zhixuan sat down.

The Sui Emperor watched the dancers with great interest: "Keep playing the music and keep dancing."

only.

The remaining light locked onto Murong Fu.

"interesting."

Murong Fu clicked his tongue in amazement.

Shi Zhixuan asked cautiously, "Senior, what's interesting?"

Murong Fu laughed and said, "Everything is interesting, and you are very interesting too."

"..." Shi Zhixuan was both amused and exasperated. Could it be that the senior was also interested in an old man like him?

a long time.

Dance finished.

The Sui Emperor raised his hand.

The musicians and dancers all withdrew, and the eunuchs and guards also hid.

"Fellow Daoist, are you satisfied with what you've seen?"

The Sui Emperor took a hearty gulp of wine and asked.

"I'm quite satisfied. The woman is beautiful, and the wine is excellent." Murong Fu smiled and nodded. "Especially this special wine infused with the Ten Fragrance Softening Powder. It has a mellow and fragrant taste, which does not spoil the flavor at all. On the contrary, it makes it even smoother."

Upon hearing this, the Sui Emperor exuded an astonishing aura, like a tiger eyeing its prey.

Shi Zhixuan was completely bewildered. Was this His Majesty?

Such an imposing presence clearly belongs to a grandmaster!

His sheer presence was like being on a vast ocean, while he was a small boat, constantly threatened by the surging waves.

Shi Zhixuan learned for the first time that the Sui Emperor was not only skilled in martial arts, but was also a grandmaster!

Then he realized that the wine was poisoned!

Shi Zhixuan felt weak all over and collapsed to the ground, unable to muster any internal strength.

Emperor Sui stood up, his imposing aura almost tangible, and laughed, "The so-called most potent poison in the world, the Ten Fragrant Tendon-Softening Powder, has no effect on you. You truly have the courage to break into the palace."

"Hehe—" Murong Fu also stood up, their auras clashing, causing the palace to tremble slightly. "I am very curious, you have cultivated the method of governing the dynasty, yet you have caused such turmoil in the country. What is your mentality?"

The Sui Emperor laughed maniacally: "What kind of mentality is this? The victor is king, the loser is villain. I failed, so what's so strange about that? If Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han could do it, why can't I?"

"I see." Murong Fu nodded in realization. "Even someone as mediocre as you has the ambition to unify the world."

These words seemed to touch the soul of the Sui Emperor, causing him to roar with a ferocious expression: "I am not mediocre! I am terrifyingly strong!"

"Weak, too weak. You're all bark and no bite. You're already riddled with holes without anyone having to lift a finger."

Murong Fu calmly shook his head.

Emperor Sui stood there stunned, as if all his strength had been drained. He slumped down, tears streaming down his face: "You saw right through me. My empire, my inner strength, everything I have is ruined."

"You've come to save me, haven't you? You can definitely save the Sui Dynasty!"

Emperor Sui suddenly looked up, gazing hopefully at Murong Fu.

Can.

Murong Fu looked at Shi Zhixuan and asked, "Father-in-law, are you interested in becoming emperor?"
