Fairy, dreams shouldn't be taken seriously.

Instead, it was bitten off with some kind of sharp teeth.

However, this supreme ruler made no attempt to conceal himself or even use any fake decorations to disguise himself.

He continues to act as he always has, seemingly unconcerned about how others perceive his missing fingers.

Faced with this crucial question posed again, Ye Qianshan felt a burning sensation in his throat. After swallowing hard to moisten it, he sluggishly spoke:

"Your Majesty, this is indeed the case. However, in the end, the Regent prevailed. His Highness the Crown Prince yielded and supported the Regent's decision. After that, there were no further disputes over the previous decision, and many state affairs were able to be implemented smoothly."

Emperor Qian Yuan nodded in satisfaction, then closed the carriage curtain and asked again, seemingly casually:

What do you think of the young man you saw today?

Chapter 89 [The Mysterious Princess]

This question is relatively easier to answer, without so many fatal pitfalls.

Ye Qianshan, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, breathed a slight sigh of relief, and his back straightened slightly compared to the previous two questions as he answered:

"That young man seemed somewhat dissolute and lacked composure, and strangely enough, I couldn't sense any true energy fluctuations from him."

If I hadn't actually witnessed his cultivation firsthand, I would have been completely fooled by his methods of concealing his cultivation level.

Judging from his cultivation level, he is at least at the Cloud Ascension Realm. This is truly remarkable for someone his age, making him a standout among the younger generation.

The emperor, sitting in the carriage, seemed silent for a moment, then spoke without any emotional fluctuation:

"Let's go."

"Yes."

With the imperial guards clearing the way, the carriage moved forward slowly.

Ye Qianshan, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, glanced at the two taels of silver on the stall and hurriedly got up to follow.

At this moment, another question suddenly came from inside the carriage:

"Deputy Commander, I've heard that your distant cousin, who works in the Ministry of Revenue, is also part of the secret operation to seize power?"

The carriage drove away, raising clouds of dust.

This powerful cultivator at the peak of the Qian Yuan realm knelt down and shouted:

"Your Majesty, please punish me!"

Without a single word of sophistry or rebuttal, he simply asked to drink.

"You are you, and he is he. The two should not be confused. Although I have been in seclusion for many years, I am not senile. Today's trip outside the city was uneventful. You have already done a good job. What crime have you committed?"

The sound faded into the distance with the carriage until it disappeared around the street corner. The deputy commander of the Imperial Guard was still sweating profusely and gasped for breath. It took him a long time to slowly stand up.

After standing there in deep thought for a long time, he mounted his horse and galloped off in a certain direction.

Fan Mansion.

After the carriage slowly came to a stop in front of the main gate, Fan Zui lifted the curtain and glanced outside. The desolate scene outside was different from what he had imagined.

He had previously speculated that many family members would come to the door to see him, the legendary "good-for-nothing," make a fool of himself.

It seems he was just overthinking things.

"Young Master Fan, this is the best I can do for you."

Having said that, the person who made the sound from his abdomen disappeared around the corner on the other side without waiting for him to react.

He seemed unwilling to let others see him here.

Seeing this, Fan Zui wisely refrained from asking any further questions or inquiries, and let him leave.

"Excuse me, is this young master Fan?"

A hunchbacked old man walked out of the main gate and asked Fan Zui in a hoarse voice.

"It's me. May I ask your name?"

"I am the accountant of the Fan family. Today is the grand occasion of the annual competition for the young masters of the family. The madam specially ordered me to come and welcome Young Master Fan."

With that, the hunchbacked accountant said, "Please follow me," and then walked ahead to lead the way.

Fan Zui glanced back at the luxurious carriage, only to see that a coachman had already taken it away and settled it in.

After nodding, he followed the hunchbacked accountant into the mansion.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure fast asleep in the corner by the door, reeking of alcohol.

The hunchbacked old butler, though too lazy to even glance at it as he passed by, frowned slightly, clearly having caught a whiff of the strong smell of alcohol.

This man is none other than Old Wang!

Unexpectedly, he really came to the capital to be a doorman, but this was far from the professionalism expected of a doorman; he was clearly just changing locations to continue drinking and sleeping soundly.

If someone with his appearance could actually guard the gate, that would be the strangest and most bizarre thing in the world.

However, since it was the old lady's arrangement, and it seemed that his godfather was just turning a blind eye and pretending not to see it, he couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to it.

Perhaps there is some deeper meaning behind the old lady's words.

After glancing at him, Fan Zui pulled Ju Zi along and continued to follow behind the hunchbacked accountant who was leading the way.

"Where are we going?"

Ju Zi looked around and then asked, seemingly casually.

"The lady ordered me to take the two of you to the training ground."

"lady?"

Fan Zui asked softly.

In his memory, his adoptive father seemed to have never married, and only took him as his adopted son. Later, he also took in an adopted daughter with the Nine Yin Sword Body.

When did he acquire a wife?

Seemingly aware of his doubts, the hunchbacked accountant who had led the way explained:

Five years ago, the master brought back a woman when he went out. Although he never married her, everyone in the mansion knew her tacit identity as the current madam.

However, this lady was extremely irritable and difficult to everyone except the master, and even the young master in blue had suffered greatly at her hands.

Young Master Fan, you'd better be careful later, lest you offend this lady who has a notoriously short temper.

The hunchbacked accountant didn't forget to give one last piece of advice.

Fan Qingyi?

He had heard the name more than once.

It is said that he cultivated to the Huiyang Realm at a young age, making him a genius that is rare to see in a hundred years.

Moreover, many people in the mansion are his supporters, and he has been in charge of handling all kinds of matters, big and small, in the Fan family over the years.

Fan Qingyi, one of the three young masters of the capital.

I would like to meet him.

He was also quite curious about the lady who was said to have a very bad temper.

Unexpectedly, after several years, my godfather has also brought a woman back.

However, it seems that no children have been born yet, and the reason is unknown.

He was curious about what was so strange or unusual about this woman that made her catch the eye of his proud and arrogant adoptive father and bring her back.

Although she is not married, so many people have acknowledged and accepted her identity, so it must be true.

If I see it later, I must take a good look at it.

After passing through a corridor filled with the fragrance of various exotic flowers, and then past a series of artificial hills, we walked for a while and finally arrived at a place...

Spatial portal!

"Young Master Fan, this is the training ground. Please follow me."

Having said that, the hunchbacked accountant stepped inside and disappeared.

As expected of the number one family in the capital, and as expected of the powerful regent, even a simple martial arts arena is set up in a small world.

What a grand gesture!

After a sigh, Fan Zui and Ju Zi stepped inside and disappeared.

After a slight dizzying sensation, the two found themselves in a small space world with many floating islands in the blink of an eye.

"Here, you only need to circulate your internal energy to fly there."

There are no bridges or roads connecting the islands, but in this small world, one does not need to be at the Cloud Soaring Realm to use the art of flight.

Here, one only needs true qi within the body to fly freely, which is indeed extremely convenient.

"Let's go, Madam is still waiting at the training ground. Don't keep her waiting."

Seemingly terrified of this ill-tempered and difficult princess who had no official title but only a reputation, the hunchbacked accountant immediately leaped up to lead the way.

Once inside, one can faintly hear bursts of laughter and sounds of fighting.

"Juzi, hold me tight."
