Some even suspected that he was bewitched...

After hearing what the kneeling man said, he realized that it was only because of his good manners that he avoided being dragged out and beaten to death.

These ministers in the court really...really pissed him off!

It doesn’t matter. It’s not the first time anyway. I’ll just have to slap them one by one in the face one day.

"I'm not a philanthropist, so we need to discuss this quickly. Don't make me angry."

Zhao Xin was irritated anyway. The cards were in their hands, so it was up to them to choose. No one who got the upper hand from him these days could even smile.

Those who smiled were sent to the underworld to welcome the King of Hell.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Those standing behind him also knelt and kowtowed several times, probably showing their submission. The leader was also not stingy, and it was not known whether the kneeling just now was a feint or what, but he was very serious and slammed something on his desk.

Zhao Xin had initially shown no interest in the pill, but the rich medicinal aroma within was enough to captivate him. The pill smelled somewhat similar to the one he had drawn previously, and the flavor was not much different either.

"What's this."

Before Su Lie could speak, Su Xi rushed to answer first.

"The elixirs from our Evil House have ancestral formulas and many benefits!" Su Lie held his forehead with his hand. How could he have such a silly sister?

What Su Xi said was no different from the people on the street recommending fake medicine. However, because of this, Zhao Xin was actually amused by Su Xi's words.

Although he was holding the memorial, his mind shifted from the memorial to the pill on the table.

"Your Majesty, this elixir was made by our Evil House's exclusive alchemist. Its magical effects are not only what my little sister said, but it is also a tempering elixir. After taking it, you can improve your own power and break through the stage faster."

"Also, that pill is priceless, and it took me half a year of discussion with the alchemist to get this one pill."

Zhao Xin picked up the pill and sniffed it, then pinched a little off and sniffed it gently. The pill's scent was indeed familiar, indeed like the Body Tempering Pill he had drawn.

And this one is also body tempering.

However, he had heard of the reputation of the Evil House, and he wasn't stupid enough to just pick up the pills and put them in his mouth. So he put the pills back into the box.

"I want to see the key to the Linglong Tower within three days. Please prepare whatever you like for the rest."

Su Lie wiped his forehead casually at this.

The emperor had a big appetite, and he wasn't afraid of choking to death. The key to the exquisite tower was in the hands of his own father, the head of the Evil House, who fiddled with it every day.

Just like last time, because he couldn't find the key, he got really angry. Anyway, his face was bad, and that temper made everyone in the mansion walk with their tails between their legs for nearly two weeks.

The evil mansion lord Su Hang is a top figure in the martial arts world, and his realm is unfathomable. Some people speculate that he has reached the third level of yellow, and some even think that he has broken through the constraints.

As for why Zhao Xin remembered it, it was because of the novel. The villainous mansion master was a very powerful martial arts master, but he still died at the hands of the protagonist.

Judging from the description, he died miserably. It was said that he was ambushed and killed before he could even use his ultimate move.

This is probably because all martial arts have increased attack power and critical strike. If a little defense was added, he would not be beaten so miserably.

This is probably because the skill's CD is too slow. If it were faster, would it be possible to achieve this?

Su Lie nodded, a smile on his face, but that smile was mixed with a strong reluctance. He forced his expression to become positive.

He finally understood why it was so satisfying for the boss to bully the younger employees. It was satisfying just to see the faces of his subordinates, who were frustrated but couldn't bring themselves to hit him with a hammer.

"I've changed my mind. Send the things to me within two days. And you'd better make sure that the tempering pill is real."

"I guarantee it's genuine and honest."

How could this be the House of Evil? It looked like the divine fortune teller selling medicine at the east end of the village. After a bunch of nonsense, he came over with something to put him off.

It's not easy to fool him.

"Then your sister will stay here for two days. I will definitely treat her well if I am in a good mood."

Su Xi was stunned for a moment. This emperor also likes to entertain people?

Su Lie understood this perfectly well; he wanted to leave himself a safe haven, fearing that the group would flee and pretend to know nothing, only to retaliate. And the generous hospitality, no doubt, was a secret the emperor had kept secret for so long.

He did promise to treat her well. If Su Lie did anything wrong, his sister would probably be thrown into prison in half a day and wait for the emperor to put the blame on her and execute her.

This emperor really has some ideas.

"I don't need it. I'll feed this pill to your sister first. I think your sister is quite interesting."

Su Lie's expression changed.

"Your Majesty, this is not allowed. I requested this pill specifically for you. It would be unkind for my sister to eat it."

"It's not polite, or they did something wrong."

Su Lie is also good at making up stories, he makes up nonsense with his eyes open.

"Your Majesty, was this elixir specially made for you by the alchemist, or was it specially requested by the head of the family for you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Xin leisurely flipped through another memorial, then his face changed and all the memorials on the table were pushed off the desk with a bang.

"Playing tricks on me?"

"Someone, pull him down——"

Su Xi glared at Su Lie, who was kneeling beside him, with a terrible expression on his face: "Brother, after all, they saved us, and this is what the martial arts rules allow you to do?"

Su Lie pressed his head, seeming to be in unbearable pain.

"Brother, the rules of the martial arts world require you to repay kindness."

“…”

"I've already taken care of the mistakes you made, but you're still making sarcastic remarks. In that case, you handle it yourself."

Su Xi looked at him for help.

Zhao Xin threw the box to the ground with a clatter, cracking a corner. The guards outside finally sensed something was amiss and, swords drawn, inquired about the situation inside.

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

"Nothing."

He was waiting for the man to admit his guilt.

Su Lie finally pulled out a picture book from his pocket. Inside the picture book was a secret manual, and the parchment looked very ancient.

"Your Majesty, that elixir is real. If you don't believe it, I can—"

With this momentum, Su Lie directly picked up the silver box, opened it and put the pill into his mouth. In an instant, a medicinal fragrance spread out, filling the entire room.

Su Lie took out another one from behind his back and presented it calmly as if it were a treasure.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of this?"

He had no interest in the illustrated book at all. It was full of flowers and plants. To put it simply, it was no different from the Shennong Herbal Classic.

However, as soon as I turned the page, I saw that the things mixed in it turned out to be some kind of martial arts technique. I guess this must be a blessing from God.
