I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Guo Poyun stopped after taking only two steps.

As a subject, he cannot overstep his bounds in front of the emperor; these are things he must be mindful of.

He had stopped abruptly because he wanted to see what Li Chen had discovered.

Guo Poyun followed Li Chen's gaze and saw a woman in her early thirties, wearing a moon-white wide-sleeved fairy dress with light blue cloud patterns embroidered on the hem, which rippled like water as she walked.

The area she passed through seemed to be petrified; both men and women were frozen in place.

Her long, jet-black hair was loosely tied up with a single white jade hairpin, with a few strands falling down her snow-white neck.

On that oval face, her eyebrows were like distant mountains shrouded in mist, her eyes like autumn water frozen with frost, her nose was high and straight, and her lips were red without any lipstick.

What is most striking is the cinnabar dot between her eyebrows, like a red plum blossom blooming in the snow, adding a touch of ethereal beauty.

Her full breasts pushed up her dress in a breathtaking arc, and a silver sash around her waist made her slender waist appear even more delicate.

Her long, slender legs were faintly visible beneath the hem of her skirt, and she wore a pair of cloud-patterned shoes embroidered with gold thread, each step like a lotus blooming.

What is most captivating is the aura she exudes; though there is a gentle smile on her lips, her eyes are as cold as frost.

The slightly raised chin and the unintentional aloofness silently proclaimed the arrogance of this fairy.

As she passed by, the monks around her unconsciously made way for her.

Someone tried to strike up a conversation, but was stopped by a single, indifferent glance from her.

The female staff member next to her was under immense pressure and was cautiously communicating with this fairy.

Even from a distance, Li Chen could feel that "keep away, strangers" vibe.

Keen-eyed cultivators could also notice that this fairy had a jade token hanging from her waist, engraved with the four ancient seal characters "Gui Xu Wu Ya".

The token appeared to be quite old, but most of the cultivators present did not recognize it.

Guixu Wuyai Sect is a hidden sect in the eastern part of the Tian Ce Dynasty. Only some powerful figures from sects in the east can recognize it. Cultivators in other places have definitely never heard of it.

However, they knew one thing: this woman was not someone to be trifled with.

The aura emanating from her surpasses that of the vast majority of cultivators.

Even though she was plump and beautiful, many cultivators did not show any disrespect when they saw her; their eyes were full of respect, which was a sign of respect for the strong.

Guo Poyun saw this, then glanced at Li Chen, thinking to himself: So His Majesty likes this type. This is a small detail to please His Majesty.

The Guo family is currently the most powerful noble family in the Tian Ce Dynasty, and its status is closely related to Guo Poyun's position in the court.

As long as Guo Poyun is alive, the Guo family's position will definitely be secure.

But now that he is old, if he wants to continue to develop in the future, his descendants must have someone who wholeheartedly assists the emperor, at least to become familiar to the emperor. Even if they don't become close ministers, it would be good if they could have a concubine.

Just as Guo Poyun was pondering, Li Chen asked the staff member next to him, "Who is she?"

The staff didn't even need to look to know who Li Chen was talking about; many people had already asked him about it.

However, as a staff member here, he patiently explained, "That fairy is the Supreme Master of the hidden sect Guixu Wuya Sect. As for other matters, I don't know."

As a staff member of the Department of Religious Affairs, I naturally know what level of power the hidden sects are.

It is said that the people of the reclusive sects are not only powerful, but also have members who frequently ascend to immortality, making them quasi-immortals in the eyes of ordinary people.

The staff member thought that if he said that, Li Chen would back down like the others.

Unexpectedly, Li Chen walked straight over. Out of kindness, the staff member pulled Li Chen back and whispered, "Fellow Daoist, that's someone from a hidden sect. I advise you not to offend him."

As members of the Religious Affairs Department, they certainly don't want these sects to have conflicts; that's part of their job.

When they saw someone trying to strike up a conversation, they earnestly tried to dissuade them.

Li Chen's lips curled up slightly as he confidently said, "Don't worry, I'm very familiar with the Guixu Wuya Sect."

The staff clearly didn't believe him. "You're familiar with that badge, yet you don't recognize it? Why are you asking me? What nonsense!"

But the staff had already said what needed to be said, and he felt that if Li Chen insisted on going up there and running into a wall, there was nothing he could do.

Alas, beauty always brings trouble to some young people.

When Li Chen walked over, the staff did not stop him. Even Guo Poyun, who was standing next to him, did not think Li Chen was going to make a move, as it would be difficult to handle later.

But he was a subject, and had no reasonable grounds to stop Li Chen.

The eyes of those around him also focused on Li Chen, all thinking that this guy was really bold.

Everyone seemed to be watching Li Chen with expressions of anticipation, wanting to see him suffer a setback.

After all, they wouldn't even dare to think about it.

But when Li Chen walked up, his pace was completely different from what others had expected.

Those around him thought that Li Chen was too young to refer to himself as a junior and then pay respects to the fairy.

Who knew that Li Chen would just reach out and grab the other person without responding? Wouldn't it be awkward to dig out a two-bedroom apartment?
What surprised everyone even more was that when the fairy saw Li Chen extend his hand, she actually shook hands with him, which was simply unbelievable.

They were all very curious about what Li Chen had said.

In fact, Li Chen's words were very simple. He came to the fairy, extended his hand and said, "I didn't expect to meet someone from the Guixu Wuyai Sect here. I am a friend of Jun Zhantian."

Jun Zhantian is the Divine Child of the Guixu Wuyai Sect. As the Supreme Leader of the Guixu Wuyai Sect, how could he not recognize him?

She glanced at Li Chen and, judging from his demeanor, guessed that he must be a divine son of another hidden sect.

Since that's the case, we definitely have to give them face, since we're all "one of us".

Li Chen used this identity to mingle in hidden sects.

Jun Zhantian had no idea that he had such a friend.

This Supreme Walker of the Guixu Wuyai Sect was none other than Fairy Shuyu.

As a powerful figure from a secluded sect, she typically aims for ascension to immortality and therefore rarely leaves the sect.

The purpose of this trip was to inquire about the background of the Second Prince, Li Xian, and to confirm Li Xian's identity.

Therefore, she took Li Xian's keepsake when she came out.

Having just arrived in the capital and being unfamiliar with the place, I found the office of the Ministry of Religious Affairs by following the street signs.

All of this was planned out in advance to provide guidance to sect members who were visiting the capital for the first time.

Fairy Shuyu didn't have a good impression of the Emperor of the Tian Ce Dynasty because Li Xian was telling her how vicious Li Chen was, and he was telling her a story that was seven parts true and three parts false. Fairy Shuyu must have had a preconceived notion.

She had a good impression of Li Xian, but a particularly bad impression of Li Chen, who had usurped the throne from Li Xian.

However, ever since entering the capital, whether you ask the local people, cultivators, or even some officials, it seems that everyone praises the emperor of the Tian Ce Dynasty. The praise is overwhelming.
