Sweeping both worlds: Starting from idealistic martial arts

Chapter 291 A Preliminary Discussion and Confiscation of Property

In the Great Yan Dynasty, in the imperial court, Fang Can assists the newly enthroned empress in handling state affairs.

To say he was assisting her is not accurate; a more accurate description would be that Fang Can used the Empress to control the court officials.

Because Jiang Qilan had not yet adapted to her new identity, she basically did not issue any decrees and could only silently follow Fang Can's instructions.

Jiang Qilan looked at the young man beside her and said with a lack of confidence, "Are we really going to demand compensation from sects including the Great Chu and the Refining Heaven Sect?"

"Of course, they rashly provoked the incident, and now that they have been defeated, they cannot be let off lightly."

Fang Can's thin lips curled slightly as he said softly, "Moreover, most of the sect leaders and fourth-level cultivators of these dozen or so forces are dead, so there's no need to worry about retaliation. Your Majesty can rest assured."

"As for the Great Chu, we'll accept less; everything is negotiable."

"However, the Inverted Sect and the Xuan Tian Sect are our own forces in the Great Yan Dynasty. Wouldn't that be a bit...?"

Jiang Qilan's tone grew softer and softer. Stared intently at by the boy's eyes that seemed to see through her longing gaze, a blush gradually appeared on her face, and she nodded as lightly as a mosquito's buzz.

This scene was witnessed by all the officials in the court, who were filled with countless thoughts:

"Alas, His Majesty has only been on the throne for one day, and he is already captivated by Fang Can's beauty. If this continues, I fear the Emperor will neglect his morning court duties."

'Even the fourth level of the Su Xin Zhai sect couldn't withstand it; with Your Majesty's mere mortal body, I'm afraid you'll find it difficult to endure.'

'What will the Great Evolution ultimately become?'

……

After implementing his will, he ordered his court officials to carry it out and sent extortion letters to various sects.

After the court session, Prince Qing approached him privately and said, "Fang Can, you shouldn't have chosen Qi Lan as Empress."

"Why?" Fang Can looked puzzled. Could it be that Prince Qing and the Empress had some grudge?

"Because once Qilan becomes Empress, it means there will be no possibility between you two?"

Fang Can's mind went blank for a moment, and he looked at Prince Qing and argued, "No! How can you slander me out of thin air? What could possibly be between Jiang Qilan and me?"

"Is there really nothing wrong?" Prince Qing asked hesitantly.

"Nonsense, I do have some feelings for your great-granddaughter, just don't interfere when the time comes," Fang Can said bluntly.

"Great-granddaughter? Which great-granddaughter?" Prince Qing's brain also froze for a moment, not knowing when his lineage had become involved with Fang Can.

He lived for hundreds of years, leaving behind more than a dozen sons and daughters. Every ten or twenty years, a new generation would grow up, and he had a huge number of relatives and friends. He had hundreds of great-granddaughters alone, so it was impossible to remember them all.

"Jiang Ning'an!" Fang Can reminded her.

"Ning An?" Prince Qing immediately realized that they were all from Jiejian Mountain, so it was no wonder.

"This... I can't interfere even if I wanted to. Ning'an's marriage is arranged by her fourth-level master." Prince Qing smiled bitterly, feeling that Fang Can thought too highly of him.

"However, Sect Leader Liu favors you greatly. If you and Ning'an are truly in love, there is no reason to stop you."

'That's too much of a compliment,' Fang Can thought to himself.

Senior Liu's avatar was seduced by himself, his real body was three-way slept with by himself through the AT field, and then he turned around and got together with Ning An.

Wouldn't she be furious if this happened? She's practically become a three-dimensional Zeus without even realizing it. When will she fast-forward to Renshou, where she can transform into a beast?

With this thought in mind, Fang Can turned his head and said, "Going back to the question we were just discussing, why is it that once Jiang Qilan becomes Empress, there's no longer any possibility between us?"

"Because according to the rules, the Empress is not allowed to practice martial arts, so you understand?" Prince Qing said succinctly. Fang Can understood immediately. The Empress was not allowed to practice martial arts, and Fang Can was a top-grade furnace cauldron. After spending the night on the Empress's bed, her martial arts realm would not improve rapidly, thus breaking the rules.

So what Prince Qing meant was that even if he wanted to mess with Jiang Qilan, he couldn't do it while she was on the throne.

Prince Qing coughed lightly and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal to be sneaky, but your furnace is too powerful. If the Empress gets on Bai Xiaosheng's Heavenly Secrets List, it will be too obvious."

Too strong? Too weak!
Fang Can realized that his furnace was indeed too weak.

The Heavenly Secrets Ranking of Bai Xiaosheng only records martial artists who have reached the Transcendental Body realm.

If he put in a lot of effort within a month and directly pushes the Empress's martial arts realm to the Heavenly Path, wouldn't that perfectly conceal his identity?
It's incredibly challenging to reach the top of the road in just one month.

That would require hundreds or even thousands of non-stop practice sessions; by then, Jiang Qilan would truly be turned into a personal cream puff cup.

"Wait a minute..." Fang Can came back to his senses and said with some embarrassment and annoyance, "I already told you that I have no feelings for the Empress, why are you still holding onto this?"

"Besides, even if I use force, what right do those martial artists have to complain? I've already killed more than a dozen fourth-level cultivators, what are they anyway?"

'So you did have your own ideas after all... Oh well, let the young man do it if he wants to.' Prince Qing thought to himself.

……

Leaving aside the conversation between Fang Can and Prince Qing, the Wan residence was filled with a sense of desolation at this moment.

This atmosphere has been there ever since the patriarch was arrested and disappeared three days ago, because everyone knows they've messed with a tough opponent.

'Fang Can!'

Wan Chenyu gritted his teeth; all the trouble started when he got involved with him.

He was often awakened in the middle of the night, dreaming that Fang Can would beat him to death like a dead dog after achieving fame and success.

Before he could ponder this, a series of booming sounds came from outside.

Before Wan Chenyu could react, the roof beams above his head were completely pulverized.

As the sunlight streamed directly into his eyes, a man entered in single file with dozens of imperial guards, his cold gaze sweeping over the entire area.

"Uncle Sun? Is there some misunderstanding?"

When Wan Chenyu saw that the visitor was the same gentle-spoken man who often came to visit her home, she felt a sudden realization.

“Uncle Sun, you should address me as Lord Shaoqing,” Sun Bailiao interrupted coldly.
"By order of Lord Fang, the Wan family is suspected of plotting rebellion, and the evidence is conclusive. However, Lord Fang is kind-hearted and only needs to confiscate 60% of the Wan family's property."

Sun Bailiao stopped mid-sentence and looked at the boy: "He may be spared the death penalty, but he will not escape punishment. Men, take Wan Chenyu away and interrogate him thoroughly."

As he spoke, Sun Bailiao slowly extended his right hand forward, preparing to capture Wan Chenyu.

Seeing the hand reaching for him, Wan Chenyu instinctively raised his hand to deflect it, but then he saw Sun Bailiao's lips curl up and he solemnly say, "You dare to attack the imperial envoy and attempt to resist arrest? Your crime is compounded!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Bailiao grabbed Wan Chenyu's arm and his powerful true energy surged into Wan Chenyu's body through the point of contact.

A series of cracking sounds like firecrackers exploding came from inside his body. Wan Chenyu screamed and collapsed to the ground like a rag doll.

Sun Bailiao's eyes were cold, and his true energy had already lingered in Wan Chenyu's body.

Without the intervention of the Third Transformation Doctor, he would never have recovered in this lifetime.
