I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 23 If you are not my friend, how dare you mess with the emperor?

Liu Hao is the son of a great noble family and is usually very powerful in the imperial capital.

When his peers see him, they all call him "Brother Hao".

If anyone disobeys, he will beat them until they obey.

With his strong power and background, bullying others is a common thing for him.

Some elders from aristocratic families were also very polite in front of him. This was the sense of superiority that a disciple of nobility had.

But recently, his sense of superiority was trampled on, because the goddess whom he had been pursuing for many years but had never been able to get her hands on has been summoned to the palace.

Liu Hao knew without even thinking about how things would develop next.

He also experienced the feeling of being bullied and powerless.

His opponents in the past were Xiao Ming, whose strength was unpredictable, and Wu Qi, who had a mysterious and powerful background.

Liu Hao thinks he is no worse than these two, so he has been fighting with them until now.

But in the end, an opponent came and attacked him at a lower level, which made him very uncomfortable.

No, it seems that I am not qualified to compete with the new emperor.

Liu Hao couldn't let it go, he had no choice but to let it go.

What else can you do if you are depressed? Compete with the emperor for a woman?
Whenever he had this idea, he believed that his father would deal with him immediately.

The Liu family had been stable in the imperial capital for hundreds of years because they had the support of the royal family.

If he had a conflict with the emperor, the entire Liu family would be wiped out overnight.

After a day's rest, Liu Hao came to the luxurious commercial street in the imperial capital to buy something to comfort himself.

As a result, I saw my goddess shopping with another man.

Especially Chu Ruoyan, the shy posture of that little woman, he had never seen it before.

This is how my ice goddess looks like in front of the powerful!

Liu Hao was very angry at the time and wanted to teach the man around Chu Ruoyan a lesson.

But I calmed down faster.

Liu Hao has such ability, so he is certainly not a fool.

Chu Ruoyan was summoned by His Majesty, and Chu Ruoyan behaved very shyly in front of this man, which proves that this man is the emperor of the time.

So when Li Chen and Chu Ruoyan passed by, Liu Hao could only hide in the corner and feel sad.

After seeing Li Chen's almost crazy shopping style, Liu Hao already knew the gap between himself and Li Chen.

It is only a matter of time before the goddess is taken down.

"So, what are you doing here?"

Liu Hao said to the person next to him.

"Didn't I tell you that my ancestor asked me to buy some things in the imperial capital? Do you think I'm joking?"

Wu Qi shrugged to express his helplessness.

He was also shopping here when he saw Li Chen and Chu Ruoyan appear, so he hid.

Who knew that he would run into Liu Hao who was also observing in secret.

In fact, Wu Qi feels as bad as Liu Hao does.

The chosen ones of the two imperial capitals, who had been fighting for so many years, felt a sense of sympathy for each other for the first time.

"I will probably be going back soon. You grew up in the imperial capital and have been pursuing Ruoyan for the longest time. Are you willing to just sit here and watch?"

Wu Qi subconsciously said a few words to Liu Hao, but who knew that Liu Hao actually walked towards Li Chen.

No, my friend, do you really dare to offend the emperor?

On the other side, Li Chen had been walking around for the whole afternoon. When he was feeling hungry and ready to eat, a young man in gorgeous clothes came over.

"What a coincidence. I didn't expect to see you here. Who is this?"

Liu Hao naturally began to greet Chu Ruoyan and asked Chu Ruoyan about Li Chen's identity.

Chu Ruoyan didn't know what to say for a moment, and was even a little panicked. She was afraid that Liu Hao would be upset and make trouble in front of Li Chen. If Li Chen got angry, it would be a big trouble.

Because she knew that Liu Hao had been pursuing her for so many years and would definitely not give up so easily.

"My name is Li Chen, and I'm Ruoyan's friend."

Seeing Chu Ruoyan whimpering, Li Chen answered for her and just said his own name.

"It turns out to be Brother Li Chen. Nice to meet you. I've always said that Ruoyan is as beautiful as a fairy, and no mortal could ever be worthy of her. Today, I'm amazed to see you, Brother Li. You two are truly a match made in heaven."

Liu Hao's answer left Chu Ruoyan confused. Wasn't he here to cause trouble? Why did he connect us?

Li Chen liked to hear this and had a good first impression of this man named Liu Hao.

Liu Hao took this opportunity to introduce himself, saying that he was the son of a noble family and the son of the head of the Liu family.

His attitude is simply that of a modest gentleman.

Except for a glance at Chu Ruoyan at the beginning, his eyes were always on Li Chen.

Li Chen had just become emperor and didn't know much about the children of nobles. Recently, there had been many memorials to the emperor regarding issues concerning nobles, so he wanted to take this opportunity to ask Liu Hao.

When Liu Hao learned that Li Chen was going out to eat, he said that he knew a restaurant with particularly good food and offered to treat him generously.

In order to treat Li Chen to this meal, Liu Hao spoke eloquently and described the delicious food on the table vividly, which aroused Li Chen's greed. Naturally, Liu Hao earned the right to treat Li Chen.

The address for the meal was quickly decided, which was the Zuixianlou, a restaurant renowned in the imperial capital.

In fact, Liu Hao couldn't afford to go to such a place normally. His father took him there occasionally, but today was one of the few opportunities for him to curry favor with the emperor.

Then Liu Hao would naturally spend a lot of money.

Zuixianlou is located in the heart of the imperial capital. It looks simple and elegant on the outside, but it is a different world on the inside.

The specialty here lies in its unique "immortal wine", which is said to be carefully brewed by the secret winemaking master in the building using century-old spiritual spring water and rare herbs. Every drop contains the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Drinking it can refresh the mind and even benefit one's cultivation.

Each floor of Zuixianlou has a different theme, offering everything from traditional food of the Tiance Dynasty to delicacies from all over the world. It is a place that dignitaries and wealthy families in the imperial capital compete to visit.

When the three of them entered Zuixian Tower, Wu Qi, who was observing secretly, slapped himself hard.

"Fuck, this guy Liu Hao is trying to lick the emperor's ass! Why didn't I think of this kind of fun!"

Since the goddess is hopeless, it is also a tricky idea to please her man through the goddess.

No wonder Liu Hao has such a high level of cultivation, his comprehension is truly extraordinary.

Wu Qi began to panic secretly. He felt that he had accomplished nothing in the imperial capital and other disciples in the family were waiting to replace him.

But if he tries to please the emperor, who would dare to argue with him when he returns?

I can't miss this opportunity, otherwise I'll miss it forever.

After he and Li Chen and the other two entered Zuixian Tower, they also had an encounter.

But Wu Qi was even more outrageous. He greeted Liu Hao directly and took the opportunity to get to know Li Chen without even looking at Chu Ruoyan.

In this way, Wu Qi also sneaked into this drinking party.

When it comes to being a person and doing things, Liu Hao and Wu Qi are beyond reproach.

When Li Chen wanted to enter the private room, Liu Hao quickly went up to open the door and pulled open the curtain so that Li Chen could enter directly.

Wu Qi helped Li Chen move the stool to a position where he felt comfortable.

While eating, as long as Li Chen swallowed his saliva and felt dry mouth, Wu Qi would immediately stand up and pour him wine.

Li Chen's chopsticks were on a dish, but there was not much left, so Liu Hao immediately asked the waiter to add more food.

Especially when talking to Li Chen, whenever Li Chen asked about something, Liu Hao and Wu Qi would tell him everything they knew.

After so many years in the imperial capital, they still know some things.

Even though some of their opinions would offend the powerful, they both knew that this was the truth that the emperor wanted to hear.

In between small talk, they were also very careful and humble, and their words were full of flattery.

It can be said that Chu Ruoyan was like an outsider throughout the whole process and couldn't get a word in at all.

It was not until the meal was almost over that she finally reacted.

Oh no, these two are here to steal my man!
