However, if these words were spoken to Jue'er, she would naturally be happy. But if they were spoken in the imperial court, they would probably be seen as showing off. No wonder Jue'er found him in prison.

You think you're smart? Smarter than the Emperor? More intelligent than the civil and military officials of the court? What are you?

With such a temperament, even if one possesses extraordinary talent, it would be difficult for them to serve as an official. With so many eyes watching in the court, both civil and military, their fate is not hard to predict.

"Sir, are you perhaps from the Zou family of Anyang?"

The man cupped his hands in greeting, took a step forward, displaying the demeanor of a scholar, and began to speak.

"Master Su has discerning eyes, and I, Zou Fu, am fortunate to have been spared from the clutches of villains by the General's mercy. Now I serve under the General to repay his kindness."

"I have long heard of your great talent, sir. How fortunate I am to have such a capable minister to assist me!"

Dongfang Jue was also somewhat surprised. To be honest, she had only found Zou Fu recently, but she didn't expect Sect Leader Su to have such a high opinion of him!

"Sect Leader Su, why stand outside the tent? Let's go inside and talk."

Dongfang Jue finally realized what had happened! They'd been chatting for so long, and they'd actually made Sect Leader Su stand outside the tent! What a sin...

Compared to the last time, this time, Jue'er was accompanied by countless civil and military officials who came to welcome Su Cheng. Su Cheng estimated that even Dongfang Shuo did not receive this kind of treatment.

Su Cheng smiled and probed, "With so many strategists and generals under Jue'er's command, why worry about not being able to rule the world?"

While his words were a test, his eyes swept over the generals, revealing that many of them were gritting their teeth, and most of the strategists also looked worried.

"Sect Leader Su, please be careful with your words!"

Among the crowd, a chubby military officer couldn't help but grit his teeth and speak, clearly intending to teach Su Cheng a lesson.

Su Cheng knew without a doubt that the person was probably one of Dongfang Shuo's old subordinates, and he didn't care.

Seeing that someone was about to speak, Dongfang Jue gave a look that silenced the generals, and then laughed.

"Sect Leader Su is joking about Jue'er again."

"Haha, perhaps, but Jue'er has truly opened my eyes today. Jue'er's ability to befriend virtuous ministers and distance himself from wicked men is a blessing for the people and for your family and the nation. You are far better than your father!"

At this point, most people, including Dongfang Jue, understood that this was not a joke at all, but a clear warning to these generals and strategists!
