The weakest martial artist? One punch and he's leveled up a whole realm!

This discussion on the Dharma can now come to an end.

Both sides have presented their views.

But persuading the other party is almost impossible.

Because the two sides are on completely different, even opposing, positions.

Ye Xiao didn't expect him to be able to persuade Han Fei.

Just as Han Fei could not force the ambitious young Ye Xiao to stop.

Ye Xiao turned around and walked towards the palace gate.

When I got to the door...

Han Fei's voice came from behind.

Ye Xiao stopped, but did not turn around; he simply listened quietly.

"Ye Xiao, go do what you think is right!"

When these words came out of Han Fei's mouth.

Ye Xiao had his back to Han Fei, but a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Han Fei added another sentence.

"These are your father's expectations for you; I'm merely relaying them."

Ye Xiao smiled and pushed open the door. Sunlight flooded into the hall, casting a long shadow of him.

Han Fei sat behind the desk, watching the light and the figure disappear into it.

Outside the window, the sea of ​​clouds surged, and the wind rushed in through the high window, stirring the pages of paper on the desk.

He stood up and pulled the jade slip out from the bottom.

He brushed away the dust, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly rolled it up.

The yellowed ink on the paper gradually became clear in the sunlight, and the first line of text that caught his eye made him pause slightly.

"Year 2526 of the Gregorian calendar, Engineering Department - Cleanroom Engineering Project. Person in charge: Xuan Yuancang."

In the distance, Ye Xiao had already stepped out of the range of the Dharma Gate.

After he left, Faque Lane returned to silence.

Only the sound of the wind turning the jade slips on the table could be heard.

Han Fei stood by the window, backlit, so his expression was not visible.

His fingers lingered on the cover of the jade slip for a moment, but ultimately he didn't close it.

He just stood there, for a long time.

The sunlight shifted another notch on the ground.

......

After Ye Xiao left Fa Que.

He saw the old man in black waiting in the shady pavilion not far away.

When Ye Xiao walked over.

The old man squinted and smiled: "How was it? How did your chat with Han Fei go? Was it quite sharp? We discussed a lot of contradictory topics?"

Ye Xiao smiled. From Grandpa Hei's reaction, he could tell that Grandpa Hei knew Han Fei very well.

He nodded: "Yes, a lot of very pointed topics came up, but I can understand his point of view, and it's not wrong."

Ultimately, it's just a matter of different perspectives.

Hear this.

The old man's eyes lit up slightly.

He laughed and said, "Alright, it seems you've made quite a bit of progress in Faque. Let's continue on to the next area."

.......

The sixth level, the Heavenly Palace.

In this place, Ye Xiao felt an unprecedented sense of solemnity and oppression.

He sensed that there were spies watching them from all sides.

It's as if a dense, intricate net has been constructed.

Ye Xiao felt uncomfortable about this.

This also caught the eye of the old man in black standing to the side.

Old Man Hei explained, "This level, the Heavenly Palace, is the information hub within the Immortal City."

"However, despite being called an information hub, it's essentially just a monitoring room."

Monitoring room?

Faced with this explanation, Ye Xiao felt it was easy to understand, yet also quite surprising.

"What are they monitoring here?"

"We monitor everyone, whether it's the Immortal City or outside, from the powerful to the ordinary people, everyone is treated equally!"

When the old man mentioned the phrase "treat everyone equally," he emphasized it.

This made the irony even more pronounced.

In other areas, it's impossible to treat everyone equally, so they try to be "equal" in the matter of surveillance.

That's really a fair thing.

"This floor makes me very uncomfortable," Ye Xiao said.

The old man said, "There were at least thirty or forty people watching us the whole time we entered Tianque, never leaving our side for a moment."

"You'd be lucky to be comfortable with that!"

"These people aren't tired at all. They don't do anything productive all day. They just like to waste a lot of manpower and resources on this useless surveillance."

Grandpa Hei led Ye Xiao away from Tianque quickly.

This area is also a place that the old man in the black family particularly dislikes.

.......

The seventh level, the Star Palace.

By this point, the number of people had dwindled even further.

Moreover, there are now the strictest identity requirements to enter the Star Palace!

For example, their identities as members of the twelve noble families!

Because the seventh star palace was built specifically for the twelve noble families who had made "merits".

The twelve noble families each have a large plot of land within this star palace, which they use to build their territories.

and so.

As soon as Ye Xiao entered the Star Palace, he clearly felt that the place was no longer a public place.

Instead, they were huge and luxurious family gardens!

The first thing that catches the eye is the Lin family's plaque!

The two large, gilded characters above, "Lin Family," clearly indicate the owner and status of this large plot of land.

Continue along Xingque Street.

The land along the way was divided up by the twelve powerful families.

There was almost no one on the long street.

The only thing you can see is that these aristocratic families have dedicated guards standing watch at their gates.

When Ye Xiao and Grandpa Hei reached the end of Xingque Street.

They saw an elderly man with a full head of white hair, but with a refined demeanor and a kind smile on his face.

When they arrived in front of him.

The other party seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"Welcome, Ye Xiao and Mr. Hei. You two must have come at the invitation of Elder Jiang, right?"

Ye Xiao nodded: "Yes, may I ask who you are?"

The other party smiled slightly.

"I am Minister Jiang's steward. My surname is Wang. You can just call me Steward Wang."

Ye Xiao nodded in understanding and said something.

"Butler Wang, is there something wrong that you're here to greet us?"

Butler Wang smiled slightly.

"As expected of a distinguished guest of Minister Jiang, you guessed it before I even said it."

"Originally, Grand Secretary Jiang had arranged to hold a banquet with you today, but due to special circumstances, he is unable to meet with you at the moment."

"However, Minister Jiang attaches great importance to this matter, so he sent me to receive you both."

"I apologize that you two will have to stay at Xingque for the night. Elder Jiang will receive you again tomorrow."

Ye Xiao understood.

They won't be able to see Jiang Henian today.

But Ye Xiao looked at the old man in black.

It was discovered that the elderly man did not show any surprise at this unexpected event.

Perhaps it was something he had already guessed?

"Okay." Ye Xiao nodded in agreement.

Butler Wang smiled and said, "Then I will take you two to Elder Jiang's residence in Xingque. It may not be as large or luxurious as those of other aristocratic families, so I hope you can understand."

As he spoke, Butler Wang led Ye Xiao and Uncle Hei to the front of the "Jiang Mansion".

Although it does not belong to one of the twelve great families.

However, this "Jiang Mansion" is located right in the center of Xingque Street, in the best and most prestigious location.
