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

Chapter 238: Whatever identity you have is given by yourself! (Please subscribe and give me a monthly ticket)

Considering that their girlfriends were missing, Chen Jiyu and Luo Fei suddenly felt jealous and their faces started to look abnormal.

Ning Tao noticed the two disciples were acting strangely and asked, "What's wrong with you? Did you run into trouble during your training?"

As a master, she still has her own responsibilities, and it is her job to correctly guide her disciples in their cultivation.

"No, nothing. I think we ate something wrong at dinner and now I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach." Chen Jiyu said immediately.

"Ouch, my stomach seems to be a little uncomfortable, probably because I drank cold water." Luo Fei also reacted.

They made up an excuse and left Ning Tao's room.

When they returned to the rockery they had just been to, both of them looked unhappy.

If it wasn't dark, they would probably be able to see each other's faces twisted with jealousy.

There was a gasp inside the room, and the two people outside were also panting.

They didn't say anything, but they seemed to have guessed who the two women inside were.

But since they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they still held out a glimmer of hope, hoping that it wasn't as they had guessed.

The night wind was very cold. Chen Jiyu and Luo Fei were standing near the rockery, standing there motionless. If you didn't look carefully, you would think they were just two stones.

Not long after, there was some movement nearby again.

The two of them hid near the rockery and watched Jiang Mo and Wu Nanzhi walk into the room, and joy began to fill the room again.

This made their hearts sink to the bottom again. The happier they were inside, the more miserable they felt.

Because they guessed that their girlfriend was inside, they didn't dare to break in.

Now I am still watching the goddess go in, it is so heartbreaking.

They both felt that they were definitely the most frustrated men in the world.

Apart from the two of them, there is definitely no third person who can feel it.

This is because they have a narrow mindset, because right where they are standing, there was a person named Lin Mo who was in more pain than them.

If Lin Mo knew what he felt at that time, and that there were other people who could feel it, and were in his position, he would definitely be very pleased.

Chen Jiyu and Luo Fei were quite arrogant. They stood at the door for a whole night, afraid of missing any details, until they saw their girlfriends walking out of the room with their own eyes, and then they completely gave up.

Because Li Chen also came out, they didn't even dare to step forward to question him. They had to hide from Li Chen and quietly return to their rooms.

The feeling of having their girlfriends stolen and having to hide from their possessors took their infidelity to a new level.

When eating breakfast, I have to pretend that I know nothing.

Ning Tao was still asking these two disciples why they were not in a good state and had such heavy dark circles under their eyes. Was it because they were not feeling well yesterday?
Chen Jiyu and Luo Fei could only say that they practiced too late last night and couldn't sleep.

While eating, Ning Tao discovered some clues. Why did the four loving apprentices start to have a gap between them? Was it her illusion?
Xu Qianqian and Zhong Ling were relatively restrained, and Jiang Mo stopped acting and just stuck to Li Chen.

She was very surprised last night to find that her two senior sisters were also there.

Seeing that her two senior sisters were so proactive, she roughly understood. After all, only by experiencing it personally could she know how powerful Li Chen was. No wonder not only her sisters, but also her mother, aunt and sister-in-law moved to the palace.

After breakfast, Li Chen naturally left Shanghe City and headed for the imperial capital.

Chen Jiyu and Luo Fei could only stand nearby and warmly see Li Chen off with their girlfriends.

Li Chen still felt that the two boys had a good attitude after being beaten.

In fact, Li Chen had no idea about the relationship between Xu Qianqian and Zhong Ling and them, but then again, even if he knew, it didn't seem to matter.

However, there is one thing Li Chen can be sure of, the Jiang family mansion is really a good place. Every time he comes to the Jiang family mansion, he seems to benefit a lot, and these women are all given to him for free.

As long as you serve Li Chen happily, you will definitely be able to enter the harem.

As soon as Li Chen left Shanghe City, Xiao Ming, the son of luck, came here.

During this period, in order to find his mother's whereabouts, he could be said to have searched everywhere nearby.

After asking countless experts, no clues were found.

Even the remnant soul of his master, the saint, felt that Xiao Ming's luck might have been weakened this time. Under normal circumstances, Xiao Ming should be able to find clues.

In fact, if the remnant soul of the saint had not stopped Xiao Ming from doing his job, he would have probably found the clue long ago.

Even during the time when he was searching for his mother, Xiao Ming still gained something and had some adventures. His cultivation had already broken through to the Liuhe realm and he officially entered the ranks of junior masters.

This is not just a breakthrough, so I'm going to show it off to Lin Yue'e.

As a result, when he arrived at the City Supervisor's Office, he discovered that Lin Yue'e had also reached the Liuhe Realm.

Xiao Ming was a little surprised, and he asked Lin Yue'e if she had also encountered any adventure.

Because in the world of cultivation, unless one encounters a fortuitous encounter, one's cultivation level will not increase so quickly in a short period of time.

With his talent, even the remnant soul of the saint said that he was rarely seen in a century.

With the help of the saint's residual soul, Xiao Ming's cultivation was even more advanced.

Lin Yue'e said that she didn't have any adventures, she was just practicing diligently.

Perhaps even she didn't realize that meeting Li Chen and receiving his care was a true adventure. There was no greater opportunity in the world than knowing Li Chen.

Since the two of them have similar cultivation bases, Xiao Ming feels that they are a good match for each other. Even several of Xiao Ming's subordinates can see that their boss seems to like this Lincheng Supervisor.

Strike while the iron is hot, Xiao Ming proposed a competition, hoping to communicate through fighting and get to know each other better.

Xiao Ming doesn't think that he is inferior to anyone with the same level of cultivation, so he can show his abilities when the time comes.

But Lin Yue'e refused. She was only willing to contact Xiao Ming for official business.

As for exchanging ideas, even on a private level, she didn't want to get to know Xiao Ming too much. What's more, Li Chen had just come and asked her to prepare for the establishment of the Sect Affairs Department. She really didn't want to exchange ideas with Xiao Ming.

Having been humiliated, Xiao Ming had no choice but to say goodbye and leave the City Supervisor's Office.

The subordinates were all comforting Xiao Ming.

"Boss, Lincheng Supervisor has a cold personality. He probably likes strong men. Once you become the Minister of Justice, I think you will be able to take him down."

"Don't be discouraged, Boss. I think you two are a perfect match. Lincheng Prison is busy right now. I heard that she will be transferred back to the capital for a promotion soon. You will have plenty of opportunities then."

With the comfort of his younger brothers, Xiao Ming felt much better.

He has now gradually integrated into the court and feels that this system is good.

In the past, no matter where he went, there would be some short-sighted people who would ridicule him, and all kinds of troubles would follow. This might be the attribute of the son of luck.

But it’s different now. Wearing this official robe, even if I go to a large sect nearby, the sect leader will have to be polite to me.

"Minister of the Ministry of Justice? That's really far away, but first you can become a Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice. Once you become a Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, you can attend the morning court."

Xiao Ming had already started to make plans in his mind. Pang Jin was a person he respected quite a bit, and Pang Jin was not very old. He would definitely not be able to step down in a short period of time, so it would be enough for him to be a Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice is considered one of the senior officials in the Ministry of Justice.

Since Lin Yue'e is going back to the imperial capital, Xiao Ming plans to go back first and make plans later.

He completely forgot that the purpose of his leaving the imperial capital this time was to investigate the whereabouts of the princess who was a remnant of the previous dynasty and Li Yang, the prince of Jing'an, as requested by Pang Jin.

Maybe this guy didn't intend to look for it when he came out.

When Xiao Ming and his men left Shanghe City and were on their way back on horseback, the afterglow of the setting sun spread over the earth, giving the land a layer of golden color.

The younger brothers felt that this also seemed to mean that Master Xiao had a very bright future.

Xiao Ming felt deeply gratified. These younger brothers were really good at flattering me and they really won my heart!
No wonder everyone wants to be emperor. There must be a lot of people like this around the emperor.

At this moment, an inharmonious scene appeared in their sight.

Two men, dressed gorgeously but looking a little dishevelled, were chattering around a woman. The woman had a graceful figure, and her lavender dress swayed in the wind, like a fairy from a painting descended to the earth.

Her face is even more stunningly beautiful, with picturesque eyebrows, skin as white as snow, and lightly red lips. Every detail is just right, making people unable to help but take a few more glances.

Her temperament is noble yet gentle, and her every move reveals her elegance, as if she is the focus of the world and cannot be ignored.

"My two lords, I have something urgent to attend to, so I can't talk any longer." The woman's voice was clear and pleasant, but it was filled with unquestionable firmness.

"Oh, girl, why are you so anxious? The two of us are willing to serve you." One of the men was handsome and had a noble bearing. He had a smile on his face, but there was a malicious light in his eyes.

"Yes, girl, it's very inconvenient for a woman like you to walk in this remote place, so let us accompany you." Another man, with an upright figure, tried his best to keep his words acceptable, but his tone sounded frivolous.

The woman frowned slightly, obviously annoyed by the two men's entanglement, but she said politely: "Thank you for your kindness, I really don't need it."

These two people were Chen Jiyu and Luo Fei, who had just been dumped by their girlfriends. On their way back to the sect in despair, they unexpectedly met such a stunning beauty.

Thinking that misfortune may turn out to be a blessing in disguise, a spark of hope suddenly ignited in his heart, and he was determined to pursue this beauty no matter what.

At this moment, Xiao Ming and his group came riding over. Seeing this scene, Xiao Ming suddenly felt a surge of heroic spirit in his heart to save the beauty.

He tightened the reins, stopped the horse, and walked forward with his men. As an official, he shouted, "You bold lunatic, how dare you tease a decent woman in broad daylight? Get out of here now!"

Chen Jiyu and Luo Fei were picking up girls, and they were disciples of a big sect. If anyone dared to speak to them like that, they would definitely teach that guy a bloody lesson.

It's hard enough to be cheated on, but when you meet a beautiful woman, she's snatched away by someone else? How can you bear this?

No matter how dissatisfied he was in his heart, looking at this group of aggressive officers, more than twenty of them, he could only apologize and leave in disgrace.

As Ning Tao's disciple, whether Ning Tao himself hates the royal family is still unknown, but these two people hate the royal family and the court more and more.

Xiao Ming turned around, looked at the woman with a smile, and prepared to start his journey of chatting her up.

Maybe other officials didn’t understand, but Xiao Ming’s master knew that this kid couldn’t walk when he saw a beautiful woman, and he was extremely lucky with women. He had just been rejected by Lin Yue’e, and now he met another stunning beauty.

The remaining soul of the saint was wondering why Xiao Ming always encountered these things.

Unexpectedly, the woman was the first to speak and thank him: "Thank you for your help, sir. I am very grateful."

Xiao Ming was delighted. He did not expect that this beautiful woman would take the initiative. He said politely, "Miss, you are too polite. It is our duty to help others when we see injustice."

When the woman heard this, a strange light flashed in her eyes, and she immediately said, "To thank you, I would like to treat you to a meal. What do you think?"

Xiao Ming naturally wanted it more than ever and readily agreed.

The group went to a nearby town to have a meal.

During the dinner, under the "deliberate" questioning of the woman, Xiao Ming felt a little flattered. He directly said that he was a Beijing official and the head of the Ministry of Justice. He was afraid that the woman would look down on him, so he even said directly that he was the confidant of the Minister of Justice Pang Jin.

He's not exaggerating, that's the truth.

Seeing this, the younger brother next to him quickly agreed: "This is the future successor to our Minister of Justice. His future is limitless!"

After hearing this, Xiao Ming was very satisfied and thought to himself that this was the benefit of having a younger brother.

He also made a point of remembering this younger brother, thinking that when he became successful in the future, he would definitely give him a promotion.

After eating and drinking, Xiao Ming finally found out the woman's identity.

It turns out that her name is Wei Manying, and she is from the Wei family, a prominent merchant family in Tianshui City.

When Xiao Ming heard this, he praised the name and began to ask Wei Manying about the purpose of her visit.

Wei Manying smiled slightly and said, "I plan to go to Shanghe City to develop my career, but I have no one to rely on there, so I can't help but feel a little uneasy."

When Xiao Ming heard this, he immediately promised, "Don't worry, Miss Wei. I have been in Shanghe City for so many years, and I know it like the back of my hand. You can say that Shanghe City is like my home. If you have any problems when you go there, just come to me. I will protect you!"

This sentence is just Xiao Ming bragging. Although he has been to Shanghe City many times, Shanghe City is not what he described.

The purpose is obvious, which is to get close to this woman.

When Wei Manying heard this, a trace of gratitude flashed in her eyes, and she said, "That's great, thank you, Mr. Xiao."

Originally, Xiao Ming planned to return to the imperial capital, but he could not refuse the beautiful woman, so he and Wei Manying returned to Shanghe City along the same route.

The two chatted happily on the way. Wei Manying's every smile and frown made him feel like a spring breeze and touched his heart. Xiao Ming was so moved that he almost cried. Finally, a beautiful woman took the initiative like this.

I no longer need to be a bootlicker for those who don’t like me!

Could it be that my spring has finally arrived? Wei Manying, you are my new goddess!

Seeing Xiao Ming and Wei Manying walking in front, the younger brothers behind them were discussing.

"Hey, isn't Chief Xiao pursuing Lin Chengjian? Lin Chengjian is still in Shanghe City. If she finds out, won't Chief Xiao be in trouble?"

"What do you know? This is all-round development, Chief Xiao. Don't you see that Lin Chengjian is so cold and aloof? She is also a career-oriented strong woman. I think she is hard to pursue. If it were me, I would definitely choose the gentle Miss Wei."

"Everyone, please pay attention. We just followed Master Xiao, so we must help him cover up."

I have to say that Xiao Ming's selection of his brothers is pretty good.

Now, except for the fact that he has not found his biological mother, he seems to have entered a period of rapid growth in his career and cultivation, and even love has begun to appear.

But the remnant soul of the saint felt very strange. It seemed that this girl was deliberately contacting Xiao Ming. Was it his illusion?
Think about it carefully, if this girl was from a merchant family, she would really not be able to resist Xiao Ming, a high-ranking official in the imperial capital, not to mention that he was a hero saving the beauty.

The scene just now didn't seem like a performance, everything was so reasonable.

At least the remnant soul of the saint didn't see any signs of performance.

The remnant soul of the saint just thought, is it okay for Xiao Ming to do this? Not to mention being discovered by Lin Yue'e, you haven't done any serious work during the time you left the imperial capital. You have forgotten the task given to you by the Minister of Justice, right?

What the remnant soul of the saint didn't know was that what Wei Manying said was not the whole truth.

Her real name is Yuan Qianyu, the princess from the previous dynasty that Xiao Ming is looking for.

Yuan Qianyu's identity is extremely mysterious. Few people outside know about it, and she is also one of the few people who dare to be active in the open.

Her purpose of coming to Shanghe City was, firstly, to rescue the captured tribesmen, and secondly, to investigate Lin Yue'e.

Many of the captured remnants of the previous dynasty were imprisoned in the prison of Shanghe City. They were the backbone of the remnants of the previous dynasty.

Even if he cannot rescue them, his presence can calm the emotions of those people hiding nearby.

As for Lin Yue'e, she is the emperor's confidant, so she needs to be investigated carefully.

Yuan Qianyu didn't expect that as soon as she arrived here, she would meet two people who came to chat with her, and Xiao Ming, the unexpected "savior".

Those two are disciples of the sect and their value of use is not very high. To put it bluntly, with the identities of Chen Jiyu and Luo Fei, there are a lot of them here. Yuan Qianyu definitely didn't intend to pay attention to them, but Xiao Ming's identity is good!

As a princess who was a remnant of the previous dynasty, she naturally knew what rank the head of the Ministry of Justice was. In addition, this kid was obviously lustful, so he could be used.

It can be said that Xiao Ming does not seem to be doing his business, but every action he takes happens to be related to his business.

Xiao Ming was still immersed in the illusion of "love", not knowing that he had been set up.

Yuan Qianyu was thinking about how she could make Xiao Ming work for her.

When it comes to deceiving people, Yuan Qianyu is very good at it. The last man who was obsessed with her was Li Yang, the prince of Jing'an.

Li Yang is also a big victim. He still feels that Yuan Qianyu loves him deeply and is still working hard for Yuan Qianyu.

He could never have imagined that Yuan Qianyu was now using the same rhetoric to talk to another man.

At this stage, Li Yang showed his lack of ability.

He was fooled by Li Xian, who pretended to cooperate with him and used some false information to get Li Yang's "family background". Then Li Xian used Li Yang's "family background" to fool the third prince Li Yu into cooperating.

Li Xian had just infiltrated the hidden sect, so how could he possibly mobilize a saint to help him?

After this kid was beaten up by Li Chen in the imperial capital, he has been relying on his mouth to make a living. Anyway, neither Li Yang nor Li Yu knows his real situation. His identity and trump card are all made up.

Now Li Xian feels that everything is ready, waiting for Li Chen to march east. He will definitely prepare a burial place for Li Chen!
