A family of widows, all shouldered, raising the dragon flag!

"I've heard you're letting your grandson shoulder all the responsibilities!"

"Such a prodigy, if he were to shoulder all the responsibilities alone, wouldn't that be a waste?"

"If the nine sons of the Qin family are victorious again, I will bestow upon this prodigy the position of Junior General in the court. What do you say?"

The old lady originally had designs on the royal princess.

They even wanted to be a bit tougher.

Upon hearing the Emperor's words, her face broke into a wide smile.

"Then I thank Your Majesty in advance!"

"Oh? The old lady is so confident in your son?"

"It's not that I'm confident, but my grandson himself said he'd crush the vassal states and show them what a truly great nation is!"

These words caused a glint of light to flash in Emperor Renzong's eyes.

Putting everything else aside, he genuinely liked Qin Ze's sweet words.

"What a magnificent nation! No wonder she is the descendant of the Prince of Zhenbei!"

"If Qin Ze wins completely, I will not only grant him hereditary succession, but also give him an easier task."

This time, the old lady remained silent.

The hereditary succession was rightfully Qin Ze's, and as for easy tasks, they were still tasks, no matter how easy they were. All she wanted was for Qin Ze to stay home and raise children obediently.

…………

Today, Liu Tianyuan will be the judge on the martial arts field.

Qin Ze never expected that his father-in-law would be so highly regarded by the emperor.

Liu Tianyuan was now completely satisfied with Qin Ze no matter how he looked at him.

Especially Qin Ze's "Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River" from yesterday. Although he didn't understand it, he did recognize a few words.

The phrase "graceful as a startled swan, as swift as a swimming dragon" perfectly describes his daughter!

In addition, he was so young that he was directly honored as a literary sage.

Li Jianbai was over fifty years old when he was hailed as a literary sage.

How old is Qin Ze?

Qin Ze entered the Dao through literature, and he felt that his future achievements would probably lead him to the realm of carefree immortality.

"Kid, if you can't beat them later, just jump off the training ground. It's not shameful, understand?"

Liu Tianyuan stepped forward and patted Qin Ze on the shoulder.

Then they pretended to check whether Qin Ze was carrying any hidden weapons.

"Father-in-law, I'm here today to collect His Majesty's reward, and they shouldn't be a match for me."

Liu Tianyuan hadn't expected Qin Ze to be even more domineering than his father.

"Hmph, stop being so stubborn. Those foreign vassal states are all experts from the Western Regions. I heard there's a saintess and a witch among them."

"Those who can become saintesses or witches are all products of raising venomous insects."

"Not only is his talent heaven-defying, but his cultivation is also heaven-defying, and his methods are even more heaven-defying. Anyway, if things turn bad, you'd better run, kid. I don't want my daughter to be a widow again!"

Liu Tianyuan's rambling was full of concern, which warmed Qin Ze's heart.

Looking at my father-in-law, who was big and burly, I never expected him to be such a thoughtful person.

"Don't worry, father-in-law, I'll win gracefully."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Qin Ze, Liu Tianyuan patted Qin Ze on the shoulder, somewhat speechless, and told him to be careful.

After he finished inspecting them one by one, the experts from the border regions of the vassal states also arrived.

"The Holy Fire Cult, Yin Suzhen, pays respects to the Emperor of Great Zhou!"

"Nangong Yueli of the Cold Moon Immortal Sect pays respects to the Emperor of Great Zhou!"

Two women, one in red and one in white, gracefully descended.

From afar, Qin Ze could see the murderous intent in the eyes of the two women.

That woman named Yin Suzhen was even wearing blue eyeshadow, and her slender fingers had black fingernails that shone brightly.

It resembled the fingernails of the Black Mountain Demon.

But I have to say, she has an incredibly good figure.

A fiery red, form-fitting skirt with a slit at the waist and an opening at the chest.

The weapon gleamed brightly, and as her skirt swayed slightly in the wind, her snow-white legs were revealed.

The other person landed slowly with bare, jade-like feet, which were spotless and had toenails painted with rose-red petals, so red that they could make anyone lose their composure at first glance.

The other person's captivating eyes startled Qin Ze; with just one glance, he felt as if he were about to fall in love with her.

However, Nangong Yueli, who was standing next to her, was dressed in pure white, her clothes fluttering in the wind, with no exposed skin at all!

Her bright and beautiful face made everyone present hold their breath, as if breathing would disturb her. Her eyes held a hint of aloofness that seemed to have seen through the coldness and warmth of the world.

The two were not far apart, but their temperaments were completely opposite!

Emperor Renzong nodded slightly, but his expression turned somewhat grim.

At that moment, he realized that these foreign vassal states were playing tricks on him.

……

As these sects from vassal states arrived, the expressions of the experts at the Great Zhou Martial Arts Arena all turned grim.

Because the sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty do not participate in such competitions.

Moreover, in the past, such martial arts competitions were used by the sons of noble families and the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty to hone their skills.

Those vassal states would not use their sect's resources.

But what about now!

Holy Fire Cult!

Cold Moon Immortal Sect!

These are all top-tier sects in vassal states!

"Your Majesty, this time our Holy Flame Sect has brought the Holy Flame Token, our most precious treasure!"

"If your Great Zhou defeats us, you may use this decree to command all disciples of the Holy Fire Sect at your beck and call!"

"I wonder if your Great Zhou has any notable figures?"

"Family martial arts are fine too, as long as you can defeat me, what do you say?"

Yin Suzhen's opening remarks were full of provocation.

Especially the disdain in his eyes, as if he looked down on the young talents in the martial arts arena as if they were dog shit.

"Your Majesty, my Wu family is willing to gamble with her using a Grade-Earth treasure sword!"

After speaking, the aura of the perfected tenth realm of martial arts was instantly released from the other party, and the scorching heat wave made the surrounding people retreat!

"I grant your permission!"

Upon hearing about the Earth-Rank Treasure Blade, Yin Suzhen smiled faintly and said, "This young lady will reluctantly accept it!"

"Give me the precious sword!"

Arrogant!

Extreme arrogance!

They didn't take the other party seriously at all!

"Hmm? You're confident you can beat me without even having competed?"

"No need to compete! Because I can crush you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his true energy surged around him, and his body slowly rose into the air!

Vajra Mortal Realm!

At such a young age, he has already reached the Vajra Realm!

This scene shocked everyone present.

Yin Suzhen casually pulled!

Obtain a Tier 1 treasure sword directly!

Upon seeing this, the old lady's eyes lit up!

Retrieve items remotely!

It's already at the mid-stage of the Vajra Mortal Realm!

Emperor Renzong glanced at the Dowager Empress indifferently.

"Grandma, would this girl be suitable to be your son's granddaughter-in-law?"

Upon hearing Zhou Renzong's words, the old lady was taken aback.

But he quickly understood what the other person meant.

"Your Majesty, this woman is indeed beautiful, but she is filled with demonic energy and may be difficult to tame!"

"It's alright, as long as the old lady is happy!"

After saying this, Emperor Renzong said calmly, "Since you have already reached the Vajra Mortal Realm, isn't it rather dishonorable to win in this way?"

When Emperor Renzong spoke, Yin Suzhen couldn't help but giggle.

"Isn't the Great Zhou a great nation, a land of outstanding talents? Does the younger generation not even have a single Vajra Realm expert?"

The extreme sarcasm enraged everyone present.

The old lady slowly stood up!

"Girl, my Qin family is willing to take a gamble with you!"

Sensing the obscure and incomprehensible aura emanating from the old matriarch, Yin Suzhen was secretly astonished.

"The Qin family? Is it the Qin family with the Inkscale Guards?"

"Exactly!"

"I'd like to gamble with the Qin family's three thousand Inkscale Guards!"

Yin Suzhen was making plans there!

But the old lady smiled.

"Girl, how can a mere Sacred Flame Token compare to the Qin family's Ink Scale Guards?"

"Let alone the Sacred Flame Token, in my heart, the entire Sacred Flame Cult is not as valuable!"

boom!

Hearing the old lady's words, the Mo Lin Guards, who were secretly protecting Qin Ze, had slightly red eyes.

Even if they were to die fighting for the Qin family, they felt it would be worth it.

Upon hearing this, Yin Suzhen frowned slightly, her face turning extremely pale.

This was the first time she had ever met someone who wasn't interested in the Sacred Flame Token.

"Hmph, is the old lady afraid?"

The old lady smiled faintly at the provocation of a maid.

She didn't care at all about such a clumsy attempt to provoke him.

"How about I bet you this piece of Qilin Jade? This Qilin Jade can withstand an attack from a Free and Unfettered Realm expert, it can protect you, nourish you, and most importantly, it can save your life in a critical moment!"

"But if you lose, I don't want your Sacred Flame Token. I'll just take you as my grandson's concubine. Are you willing to bet?"

These words caused an uproar in the audience.

Qin Ze was completely stunned.

He suddenly realized that the old lady truly treated him as a machine for procreation.

Wherever he goes, they will help him find a wife.

The surrounding chatter was deafening.

"The rumors are true; the old lady really is letting Qin Ze have children at home!"

"How could that be fake? Didn't he already bring two widowed sisters-in-law last time?"

"That's right, Qin's eighth sister-in-law..."

There was a great deal of discussion.

Yin Suzhen frowned as she looked at the old lady.

The other party's confidence made her immediately suspicious!

"What level of achievement has your grandson reached?"

"My grandson is right behind you, his cultivation level isn't high! He's only at the eighth realm!"

Upon hearing about the eighth realm of cultivation, Yin Suzhen smiled!

"Eighth Realm cultivation? Does the old man perhaps believe his grandson can fight beyond his level?"

"I'm taking this bet; you'd better not regret it!"

Yin Suzhen glanced at Qin Ze, and she was confident that he could reach the tenth realm, let alone the eighth!

"No regrets!"

The old lady slowly looked at Qin Ze!

"Grandson, are you confident?"
