Fairy, dreams shouldn't be taken seriously.

Emperor Qian Yuan emerged from seclusion and reclaimed power, finally stripping away the former arrogance of this world-destroying marquis.

Thus, the Crown Prince and many other officials who had previously been suppressed began to retaliate.

This once powerful Marquis of Destruction, who was second only to the emperor, has been somewhat down on his luck lately.

There are quite a few people who kick someone when they're down.

News came from the palace that someone had submitted a joint petition signed by many officials.

The impeachment accused this Marquis of abusing his power, embezzling huge sums of money, and embezzling public funds during his regency. He also accused him of opening the national treasury without authorization and misappropriating resources without reporting it.

Even more shockingly, some people have seen him entering and leaving the inner palace...

In the imperial court, many people began to kick him while he was down.

Many of his former cronies have now begun to retaliate and bite back.

"My lord, the heads of the Yan and Lin families request an audience."

Someone stepped forward and knelt on one knee.

Inside the pavilion, the middle-aged man with white hair simply drank his tea quietly, without showing any reaction.

A moment later, the tea in the cup was finally finished.

"Let them come up." Although he had no cultivation, his voice was still full of energy.

Chapter 210 [The Witch's Plan]

Before long, the two family heads arrived.

Yan Dongsheng, Yan Bingyun's grandfather, is an old man who walks with a cane and a limp.

Lin Hansheng, Lin Fan's grandfather, was a border general who commanded a large army. He was tall, dark-skinned, and had a scar running across his face.

He looks extremely fierce and is not easy to deal with; he's a tough nut to crack.

The two men have similar names, are of similar age, and are sworn brothers.

Back then, in their middle age, the two became sworn brothers during a time of crisis, forming an inseparable bond and sharing hardships.

Moreover, the two families are engaged.

If the first child is a boy and a girl, then they will marry.

To everyone's surprise, both families had a boy as their first child.

Therefore, the marriage plan was postponed, and if the first generation of children and grandchildren consisted of a boy and a girl, the marriage agreement from that year would continue to be fulfilled.

However, when it came to Yan Bingyun and Lin Fan, they were still both boys.

Therefore, the marriage plan had to be put on hold once again.

Otherwise, Yan Bingyun and Lin Fan would have been married and consummated their marriage long ago...

"I've met the Marquis!"

In terms of age, these two old guys are both elders of the Marquis of Destruction, but he still has to call him Marquis.

To be honest, both of these companies have had rather unfortunate experiences.

Even when the old master of the Fan family was still alive, he made both families unable to hold their heads up high.

Later, after the old man passed away and Fan Jian took over, these two old guys still couldn't get going.

Being constantly suppressed by the Fan family was incredibly frustrating.

Although he was extremely unwilling, his words and actions were perfectly appropriate.

We must still be respectful.

"What's wrong with the two old patriarchs?" The white-haired Sword Master looked at the two, but made no move to get up and help them.

Such superficial gestures are something the domineering Marquis of Destruction would naturally disdain.

If you don't like something, you just don't like it; there's no point in hiding it.

The situation in the capital is currently unpredictable, and these two old guys, along with their families, have done a lot of work.

Why bother pretending to be friendly or courting them now?

"My lord, you are unaware that our two teams were completely wiped out in the secret realm. The longevity tablets were shattered and burned. We hope that you will uphold justice for us."

"..."

Fan Jian's expression remained unchanged, but inwardly he felt a surge of dread. "I'm not your father, why should I make decisions for you?"

I don't know which bastard did this, it felt so good!

Though he thought this in his heart, his face remained calm and composed as he asked with certainty:

"Yan Bingyun and Lin Fan, two of the three young masters of the capital, have also perished?"

Seeing the two old men sighing and looking worried, filled with hatred, he felt even more secretly pleased.

Well done!

"Has the murderer been found?"

"The secret realm is isolated from the world, and divination is useless there. That's why we've come to ask the Marquis to help us."

Yan Bingyun's grandfather was also a cunning man who always held this younger man, who was younger than himself, in high esteem.

Even though the other party has no cultivation at all, they have no intention of looking down on them.

Compared to Lin Hansheng, he was much more direct, simply cupping his hands in greeting to the Marquis of Destruction and stating the truth:

"We have already formed a formation outside the secret realm, ready to capture the murderer. We hope that Your Excellency will not obstruct us."

Fan Jian, whose hair was already white, waved his hand slightly, his expression calm and undisturbed, and said:

"The world is vast, and each place has its own master. This Yanzhou is not my fiefdom, so please make yourselves at home."

However, one must never wrong an innocent person; the path through the Sea of ​​Death is fraught with peril.

The implication is that I don't care about your affairs, but if you dare to touch my people, you'd better think carefully.

Ancient books have recorded the dangers of the Sea of ​​Death, and the book "General History of the Qian Yuan Era" provides a detailed description. It is not impossible that these two people perished there.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis!"

The two men retreated.

A gentle breeze blows, and clouds float in the sky, gathering above the entrance to the secret realm and displaying a colorful array.

"My lord, could it be..."

Behind him, a woman in armor, holding a death scythe, whispered something but didn't continue.

The white-haired Sword Master poured himself a cup of tea, gently swirled it, and slightly raised his eyes, looking down at the exit of the secret realm at the foot of the mountain.

There, the Yan and Lin families had already begun setting up their formations.

"This matter is quite strange and needs to be investigated."

Once someone comes out, immediately arrest one or two, find out the reason, and focus on investigating who entered the Sea of ​​Death.

"Yes!"

The woman stepped back and turned to leave.

"Black Widow..." Taking a sip of tea, the Marquis of Destruction narrowed his eyes slightly, quietly watching the woman's departing figure.

This female general, who was quite famous in the army, was ordered by him to escort the prince twice.

Upon her return, when asked for her opinion on the boy, she only gave a simple answer:

Unfathomable!

In fact, before she even spoke, Fan Jian thought she would describe it like this:

He's a womanizer!

Surprisingly, her price was quite high.

"Go and investigate what exactly happened." With that, he put down his teacup.

There was no one else in the pavilion; these words seemed to be spoken to thin air.

"Yes!"

No one appeared, but sounds could be heard.

imperial capital.

Star Observation Deck.

Today is another monthly feng shui consultation day.

Here, many "fated people" gathered once again.

Many people come here to seek divination, hoping to resolve their inner doubts.

But many more people were simply there to catch a glimpse of that stunningly beautiful woman.

She's ranked among the top three on the Hundred Flowers List!
