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

Chapter 7 You should know that asking someone to do something for you comes at a price!
The young woman next to Li Chen had delicate and beautiful features, and her messy hair set off her fair face.

Even though her face looks a little haggard, it is still difficult to conceal the charm between her eyebrows.

What surprised Li Chen the most was that despite her young figure, she was wearing a dark purple chest-length skirt with a pipa collar.

This kind of skirt only looks good on women with a plump figure, and it doesn't seem like a style she can pull off.

Before Li Chen could ask her what she wanted, she said, "This young master looks a little unfamiliar. He seldom comes to our area."

Her voice was very soft, as if she was acting coquettishly, and her eyes were full of affection.

Every man who is stared at by her has the illusion of "Does this woman like me?"

Such a woman can most touch a man's heart.

Li Chen didn't buy it. Compared with those charming women in the palace, this woman was so pure that she looked like a virgin.

He asked directly: "Just tell me what you want to say."

This woman seems to have something to hide. Judging from her clothes, she seems to be going to a dinner party.

Moreover, she is young and beautiful, and can definitely attract a lot of men's attention.

No, to be precise, there should be quite a few male suitors.

If Li Chen guessed correctly, this woman didn't seem to want to attend the dinner, so she most likely wanted to use him as a shield.

If it were in the past, Li Chen would definitely not do it, but now, being a shield means that he can beat people up reasonably, and maybe complete the task.

But Li Chen didn't expect that his guess was right, but not completely right.

"You said that, so I'll just say it straight."

When she said this, the woman's demeanor changed drastically.

From a charming woman to a girl with a lot on her mind.

It can be seen that the seductive look just now was just acting.

She ordered a pot of wine, drank it in one gulp, and then she courageously began to tell her story.

Her name is Lin Yue'e, a student of Xinhuo Combat Academy. She has been gifted since she was young and is a well-known cultivation genius in the local area.

When he said this, Li Chen was a little confused.

I asked you to speak frankly, but I didn't ask you to start from the beginning.

But seeing the bitterness in her eyes, Li Chen did not interrupt and just listened.

After all, Li Chen had no money to pay for the meal, so it was really difficult for him to leave.

As a child from a poor family, Lin Yue'e practiced very hard, hoping to achieve success in her career as soon as possible.

As expected, with her hard work and talent, she successfully passed the most rigorous assessment and was admitted to the Xinhuo Combat Academy.

This is one of the top colleges in the Tiance Dynasty. As long as you can graduate successfully, you can be said to be returning home in glory.

With full of passion, she left her hometown and came to the imperial capital.

I thought that with this ability, I would become the most dazzling new star in the imperial capital.

After arriving at the Xinhuo Combat Academy, I discovered that this place gathers talented people from all over the country.

There are some people who are more talented than her and even work harder than her. This is simply a gathering place for curlies, and she herself seems very mediocre.

All her beautiful dreams were brought back to reality, and she even fell into confusion for a period of time.

After being depressed for a while, Lin Yue'e began to wake up.

It is precisely because there are so many geniuses here that if I can stand out, then it will be meaningful.

So she practiced hard in the Xinhuo Combat Academy and finally achieved some results and ranked very high.

This is a good inspirational story. Li Chen still doesn’t understand where the bitterness in her eyes comes from.

Lin Yue'e paused here, as if she was embarrassed to speak again.

Then, she took a few more sips of wine and continued talking under the influence of alcohol.

As a woman with some looks, it is natural that you will have the trouble of being pursued by the opposite sex.

The one who could pursue Lin Yue'e was a forty-year-old official's son. His father was an official in the Ministry of Rites and held a high position of power.

This guy is a typical idler, greedy and lustful person. When he met Lin Yue'e by chance, he pursued her madly.

Lin Yue'e has worked so hard until now, how could she be willing to marry such a man and become a concubine.

However, the official son revealed his father's identity, and other suitors did not dare to compete with him. After all, if he offended the officials of the Ministry of Rites in the imperial capital, how could he survive in the Tiance Dynasty?

With the teachers' care on a daily basis, it would be difficult for this official's son to cause trouble in the academy.

There is a special banquet tonight. All the outstanding students from the three major colleges must attend. This concerns their future.

The official's son, who was over 40 years old, had made it clear that if Lin Yue'e did not agree, she would have no chance of graduating from the Xinhuo Combat Academy.

Lin Yue'e had to go, but she didn't want to compromise.

This is roughly the situation, and Li Chen has already understood it.

"Then why are you looking for me?"

"I just took a look at what the young master is wearing. He should be a member of the royal family, right?"

Lin Yue'e is not stupid. She knows that the royal children are not afraid of the children of officials.

When I passed by just now, I saw the dragon pattern with gold edges on Li Chen's clothes, so I decided to come and ask for help.

"I see. But you are right. I am indeed a royal family."

Li Chen was not lying. Isn't the emperor a member of the royal family?

Lin Yue'e said excitedly: "Then, sir, are you willing to help me with this?"

Li Chen glanced at her and said, "You should know that asking someone to do something for you comes at a price."

Feeling Li Chen's gaze scrutinizing her, Lin Yue'e seemed to 'understand' something and her face turned red.

"As long as your request is not excessive, Yue'e will try her best to satisfy you."

Although Li Chen's facial features were naturally elegant and his face was handsome, under the influence of alcohol, the more she looked at him, the more intoxicated she seemed.

But she still has a certain bottom line!

"Okay, that's what you said."

In fact, Lin Yue'e had already made the worst-case scenario plan.

Who knew that Li Chen asked Lin Yue'e to pay for his meal.

Lin Yue'e was dumbfounded on the spot. It felt like, I've taken off my pants, and you show me this?

However, Lin Yue'e reacted quickly. She felt that Li Chen was just finding an excuse to help her.

Judging from the way this person is dressed and his temperament, how could he not have money in his pocket?

Even if this young man from the royal family had no money in his pocket, it is impossible that the old butler next to him did not have any money.

Thinking of this, her favorability towards Li Chen increased a little more.

But she didn't expect that these two people really didn't bring any money.

After Lin Yue'e paid the bill, the group left the restaurant.

The mansion where the dinner was held was not far from this area, only about twenty minutes away.

Along the way, the cool breeze made Lin Yue'e's mind clearer.

If she hadn't been drunk, she would have felt embarrassed to ask a royal descendant whom she had never met for help.

But she had no background and seemed helpless in this troubled imperial capital. She really had no other choice. Li Chen was her only lifeline.

Just as she was daydreaming, she had already arrived at the mansion where the banquet was being held, and the party hosting the banquet was the Ministry of Rites.

Li Chen and Lin Yue'e were dressed smartly, and the guard at the gate asked them a casual question and let them in.

But the guard stopped Zhao Wenyuan, saying that the servants were waiting outside and could not enter such a place.

This made Zhao Wenyuan very angry. I am the prime minister of the dynasty, and you dare to call me a servant? How dare a few guards from the Ministry of Rites stop me?

But then again, beside Li Chen, he was indeed a servant.

If Zhao Wenyuan hadn't seen Li Chen's eyes, he would have wanted to call someone to tear down the place.

Because he knew that he was not the protagonist today.

"The Ministry of Rites is afraid that it will be in trouble."

Zhao Wenyuan had heard a little about these things, and this was also the unspoken rule in the officialdom of the dynasty.

But the person who entered is the absolute rule of this dynasty.
