Fairy, dreams shouldn't be taken seriously.

The Qian Yuan Empire.

In the palace.

As night fell, the palace exuded a magnificent and solemn aura, resembling a vast sacred place for cultivation.

Moonlight spilled over the palace, like a celestial river flowing across the sky, adorned with twinkling stars.

The palace soared into the clouds, resembling a celestial pavilion in a fairyland, its glazed tiles shimmering with divine light.

The dragon and phoenix patterns on the palace walls appeared and disappeared in the darkness, seemingly leaping with life.

Under the cover of darkness, a mysterious power emanated from the palace.

A gentle night breeze brings a touch of coolness, making one feel refreshed and relaxed.

Flowers bloom in profusion, emitting a captivating fragrance that entices a flock of celestial birds, phoenixes, to dance in the palace.

The palace was filled with a rich aura of cultivation, like a thousand-year-old mystical abode.

Various rare treasures are scattered throughout, gleaming with golden light, swords chiming, Buddhist relics, and Taoist runes; every corner exudes the powerful energy of cultivators.

Within the palace grounds lies Qianyuan Mountain, upon which the Imperial Study was built, and it was named Qianyuan Hall.

The tallest building on the mainland, which is adjacent to Qianyuan Mountain, is named Qianyuan Tower.

At this moment, standing atop the mountain, a weathered old man in white robes and white hair stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance.

That place is the direction of the City of Daughters.

Behind him, an old eunuch stood respectfully, bowing slightly, not daring to make a sound.

"They haven't come out yet?"

It was a casual question, yet it carried an air of great authority, as if it were a natural gift.

There seemed to be a hidden meaning behind his words.

"Your Majesty, not yet."

The two simple sentences of dialogue were incoherent, rambling, and utterly nonsensical.

But there was no follow-up.

There was another moment of silence.

After a long while, the white-robed, white-haired old man from Cangshan sighed softly and said:

"What day is it?"

"It's the fifth day."

"How has the Regent been these days?"

The old eunuch hesitated for a moment, still unsure of the emotions conveyed in the words, so after weighing the options, he compromised and said:

"The Regent has been quite tired lately. There are many affairs and miscellaneous matters in the court, but he has handled each and every one of them in an orderly manner."

However, the Regent had lost his extraordinary cultivation, and was physically exhausted.

He sent word a while ago that he said, said…

Perhaps already guessing the meaning of the words, the supreme ruler smiled lightly and said:

“It wasn’t you who said it, so why can’t you just say it?”

Hearing this, the old eunuch finally felt much more at ease and said:

"The Regent said that if His Majesty does not come out of the pass to take charge of the overall situation, he might rebel against you."

After saying this, the old eunuch felt that his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

Although he didn't say those words, just hearing them was enough to terrify him.

Swallowing hard, he felt a little relieved to see that the emperor did not seem to be angry.

"Rebellion?" Upon hearing these two words, the mighty Emperor Qian Yuan, who made the world tremble, not only did not get angry, but instead burst into laughter, seemingly quite pleased.

In those few words, he seemed to see the regent's flustered and angry expression.

He felt increasingly relieved.

To leave the mountain?

That is impossible.

It is absolutely impossible.

If you want to rebel, fine. Do you want me to lend you a hand and rebel together?

"Remember, you must not reveal that I have emerged from seclusion. Anyone who disobeys will be executed without mercy."

"Yes!"

The old eunuch withdrew respectfully.

It wasn't until he left the main hall that he realized, in a daze, that his back was completely soaked.

He understood this principle better than anyone: serving a ruler is like serving a tiger.

He had served this supreme ruler for over ten years, and during his seclusion, he was responsible for receiving and relaying all news from the outside world.

This was not the first time the regent had uttered such rebellious words.

However, every time he recounted it, he would break out in a cold sweat.

After all, rebellion is something that can be joked about.

However, over the years, His Majesty has always paid close attention to that good-for-nothing boy in Yangzhou.

When he occasionally ventured beyond the border, the first thing he would invariably ask about was Yangzhou.

Could it be that the boy really has something special about him?

Now that he has entered the City of Daughters, he is surely doomed.

None of the men who entered the City of Daughters, including the lecherous emperor of yesteryear, came out alive.

To elaborate, over the years, the regent and the old lady have invested countless rare and precious treasures in this young man whose talent had not yet been awakened and who was already unable to cultivate.

In retrospect, all those efforts have probably gone down the drain.

There wasn't even the slightest echo.

The old eunuch was stunned for a long time when he received news that Fan Zui could finally begin his cultivation.

However, to everyone's surprise, on his way back to the capital, he ended up in the City of Daughters.

Young people just can't get over that hurdle in their own hearts.

In his opinion, it would be better to just cut it off completely...

imperial capital.

Fan Mansion.

In the study, the former number one swordsman in the world, now the powerful regent, is currently reviewing memorials late into the night under the lamplight.

He kept rubbing his temples, clearly very tired.

But they persevered through hardship.

He put down the memorial in his hand, went to the window, and looked out into the darkness.

Everything is nourished silently.

"Your Highness, it's late, you should go to sleep early."

This is a woman who still retains her charm.

Although she is getting on in years, her appearance is like that of a fairy, and her delicate and smooth skin is like white jade, radiating a healthy glow.

Her features are delicate and three-dimensional, her phoenix eyes are as bright as stars, and the corners of her eyes are slightly upturned, revealing her liveliness and deep affection.

Her long, slender eyebrows flowed like a painting, and with a gentle lift, they outlined a graceful curve.

Her lips had delicate, captivating contours, with a subtle rosy hue, as alluring and enchanting as cherry blossom petals.

Every smile she gives off an incredibly charming aura.

Her chin was long and elegant, and her slightly prominent cheekbones created a soft profile, giving her an air of mystery.

Her black hair was thick and smooth like a waterfall, cascading down her shoulders like silk.

Sometimes, she would gently gather her hair into a simple yet elegant bun, which further accentuated her grace and intellect.

She has a tall and well-proportioned figure with soft, curvaceous lines.

Her slender, jade-like legs were subtly hidden beneath her skirt, making her a striking sight.

Her posture was natural and elegant, each step light and graceful, as if she were performing an elegant dance.

Her enduring charm lies not only in her appearance, but also in her inner qualities and refinement.
