Fairy, dreams shouldn't be taken seriously.

The number of cultivators in the entire empire has tripled compared to before.

Overall, during the ten years under his regency, the Qian Yuan Empire's overall strength was greatly enhanced.

Some say he was a meritorious and capable official, but others secretly criticize him, saying he was a tyrannical and autocratic ruler.

Over the years, he has consistently abused his power to eliminate dissidents.

They even harbored rebellious ambitions!

However, no matter what these people say behind your back, they dare not reveal a single word to your face, and instead have to act very respectful.

They dare not be careless in their duties, otherwise they will be severely punished by law.

Even if you are a great hero who has contributed greatly to the empire and made countless meritorious achievements, if you violate the laws of the Qian Yuan Empire, you will be executed without mercy.

Over the years, countless ministers have risked their lives to test his limits, but in the end, no matter how many heads they stretched out, this regent accepted them all and beheaded them all.

Now, the capital of daughters has been inexplicably destroyed, the fire is burning incessantly, and the bells on Qianyuan Mountain are ringing out. Each of these events is a major event that will shock the world.

But this former number one swordsman in the world, who had lost all his cultivation, was sleeping soundly at this moment.

The entrance to the courtyard is right there, unguarded and unobstructed.

But no one dared to go in and call for help.

In the past, this would have been the time to attend the morning court session.

The Crown Prince ascended the throne, and the Regent began to handle the affairs of the officials. Those with matters to report could submit their memorials, and those without could leave the court.

After an unknown amount of time, a creaking sound suddenly came from inside the courtyard, and the door to the study opened in response.

The regent, with his full head of white hair, slightly hunched back, and disheveled clothes, opened the door only to find the entire courtyard filled with people, all looking at him.

Then, he slowly yawned, ignoring everyone else, and went straight to washing up.

After washing up and eating some breakfast, he then called everyone over.

Tell me what's wrong right away.

However, upon learning that the entire city of Daughters was engulfed in a massive fire, he, who had been as calm as a mountain, instantly lost his composure and hurriedly inquired about Fan Zui's condition.

Upon learning that he had escaped danger safely, he instantly regained his composure, remaining calm even in the face of imminent danger.

Such a swift change of heart drew the attention of many ministers.

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, all secretly shocked by the weight that Yangzhou good-for-nothing held in the eyes of the Regent.

It seems that the rumors over the years were absolutely true.

The amount of investment will likely be more, not less.

Someone once estimated that the resources wasted on that good-for-nothing over the years would be enough to buy two states.

How terrifying!

From a certain perspective, this regent has committed numerous earth-shattering acts of corruption over the years, even brazenly stealing from the royal treasury.

Take whatever catches your eye.

Even the royal family members dared not speak out against it.

Over the years, this regent has accepted all gifts from both loyal and treacherous officials in the court without any hesitation.

No one will be refused!

After all, that good-for-nothing in Yangzhou is a bottomless pit.

If we don't do it this way, we won't be able to fill the void.

Some busybodies have secretly collected and compiled a list of all the corrupt crimes committed by this regent, reportedly totaling over a million words.

However, the white-haired old man, who had lost all his cultivation, didn't care about this at all.

If we're talking about the most corrupt official in the country, it has to be the Regent, a fact known throughout the entire Qian Yuan Empire.

It's just that no one dares to say it.

This tyrannical regent has a violent temper, and if you talk about it in private, that's perfectly fine, there's no problem at all.

He won't send anyone to cause you trouble.

However, if you dare to say it to his face, he will send 100,000 World Destroyers to immediately raid your home.

They're practically ready to ransack your house and take everything with them.

Finally, someone mentioned that the bell on Qianyuan Mountain had rung.

Upon hearing this, the regent was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.

He immediately dismissed all the ministers and sent everyone to Qianyuan Mountain to pay homage and welcome His Majesty out of the pass.

As for himself...

He then turned around, packed up all the memorials in the study, and sent them to the palace.

That feeling of finally being liberated is something no one else can understand.

From now on, all he needs to do is continue to find ways to embezzle, and finally, all those messy things will stop bothering him.

Seeing that this regent truly had no attachment to the power of regent, the ministers were surprised but not entirely taken aback.

It seems that rebellion is impossible.

Many ministers have come today with important matters to report, but the Regent showed no interest in listening and dismissed them all.

His Majesty has already left the pass, why are you still bothering me?

After everyone had gone far away, a figure in white suddenly appeared in the courtyard.

"Father, these people know that His Majesty has left the pass, yet they do not go to greet him, but instead come to the mansion to wait for you to wake up. I'm afraid they may not have good intentions."

The woman was dressed in white, and a cold, piercing sword aura emanated from her.

Clearly, her sword intent was newly comprehended and not yet mastered, which is why it was so sharp and unrestrained.

Fan Jian glanced at her kindly and said with admiration, "However, you have grasped the sword intent much faster than I expected."

Having said that, he glanced at the ministers and said:

"None of these old foxes are simple. Forget it, let's not talk about them, it's too upsetting."

"Isn't your godfather going to welcome His Majesty out of the pass?" Fan Bingyan couldn't help but ask.

This is, after all, the proper etiquette between ruler and subject.

Moreover, since his adoptive father was also the regent, he should have led all the civil and military officials to Qianyuan Mountain to welcome him.

"I didn't sleep well last night, so I need to take a nap. If His Majesty sends someone to summon me, just say I'm asleep."

He waved and walked into the study, closing the door behind him.

In the courtyard, Fan Bingyan, who possessed the Nine Yin Sword Body, remained silent for a moment before turning and leaving.

She ultimately didn't ask the question that was on her mind.

Did his adoptive father foresee this outcome, sending that person to the capital of daughters? Or was it just a coincidence...?

It seems that the secret of the City of Daughters can only be revealed when that person comes to the capital and we ask him in person.

In an instant, the words "child bride" came to mind, and a strange expression appeared on her usually aloof face.

Yanzhou.

The City of Daughters.

Fan Zui opened the envelope that had inexplicably appeared in his hand, which bore the words "City of Daughters".

Chapter 79 [Endless Opportunities]

[P.S.: Stop saying my legs are short! If you don't believe me, compare them! Just kidding...]

The City of Daughters has too many strange things that cannot be explained by common sense. Looking at this mysterious envelope in my hand, perhaps it contains the answers I want to know.

However, when he opened the envelope with great anticipation, there was not a single word inside.

There was only a blank sheet of paper, completely empty, with nothing on it.

Upon seeing this, he was slightly taken aback, unable to understand what it actually meant.

"Sir, what is this?"

Ju Zi took a closer look and was also puzzled.

Judging from the neatly folded envelope, I thought it contained something important.

To my surprise, it was just a blank sheet of paper, which was quite disappointing.

Suddenly, Fan Zui seemed to remember something and hurriedly took out a teardrop.

The witch Li Hanqiu once said that once a tear leaves the City of Daughters, it will turn into an ordinary tear and disappear.

However, the few remaining teardrops on his body were still perfectly preserved.
