Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

The moment Murong Yan entered the room, Li Changqing understood why the beautiful Murong Yao had suffered a loss in front of his younger sister.

The girl had strikingly beautiful features, yet she didn't give off a seductive or effeminate vibe at all.

With a glance, she seemed to possess a thousand charms.

Li Changqing knew at a glance that this was an absolute beauty, unparalleled in the world. One look was enough to leave an unforgettable impression.

Murong Yan was also sizing up Li Changqing.

Li Changqing was dressed in a white robe, and his appearance was as handsome as jade.

When I first saw her, I was slightly amazed.

But it was only a tiny bit, and it quickly returned to normal.

It was as if, before this, the prince had already seen many stunning beauties.

It was indeed a pipe dream to think that she could win over the supreme prince with her beauty.

"Your subject, Murong Yan, greets Your Highness, Prince Yong."

The previous attempt to abdicate failed, and the news that Li Changqing has been appointed regent will not be announced for several more days.

Therefore, Li Changqing's current title is still only Prince Yong.

"Miss Murong, there's no need for such formalities. What brings you here?"

Li Changqing went straight to the point.

The other person was indeed extremely beautiful and had an extraordinary air about her, but Li Changqing had no intention of provoking her.

In order to advance the World Society, Li Changqing has already married several noble ladies. These wives alone are enough to give Li Changqing a lot of headaches.

Aside from these people, Li Changqing had no intention of getting involved with any other women. A true man should roam the world freely, not spend his days thinking about his wife.

Not to mention the relationship between Murong Yao and Murong Yan.

Now that Li Changqing has accepted Murong Yao, he will no longer have any involvement with Murong Yan.

Murong Yao wanted Murong Yan to come in for this very reason.

She wanted to make her top-tier scheming sister give up on her completely.

Moreover, her identity as editor-in-chief cannot be revealed for the time being; at the very least, it must wait until the guard at the Free and Unfettered Realm arrives.

"Little sister greets elder sister!"

Murong Yan squatted down in front of Murong Yao.

Murong Yao didn't seem surprised at all, which clearly showed that Murong Yan was like this in private, and wasn't just pretending.

Li Changqing's eyes flickered; the second young lady of the Marquis of Sanyang's mansion was no ordinary person.

He wanted to quickly make his stance clear and send the person away.

After completing the formalities, Murong Yan answered Li Changqing's question.

"Your Highness, I felt uneasy when I heard that my elder sister had come to the palace alone, so I rushed over. Even if people find out and talk about it, they'll just think we're looking for a partner. It won't affect your reputation."

Don't tell me, you really shouldn't tell me.

As soon as the girl finished speaking, Li Changqing felt his understanding of interpersonal relationships and social skills improve dramatically.

This young girl had already been eliminated, but after she said that, she suddenly became one of the candidates for concubine.

Li Changqing subconsciously looked at Murong Yao, just as he expected.

The commander of the Golden Guard had a livid face.

This was clearly not the outcome Murong Yao wanted.

"Miss Murong, thank you for your trouble. I hope you will not reveal anything you saw today."

Li Changqing did not elaborate on his points.

He could sense that the young girl in front of him was a very rare and intelligent person.

If she weren't opposed to Murong Yao, even if she didn't marry her, Li Changqing might have helped her out and made her work for him.

But given the relationship between the two sisters, Li Changqing didn't dare to hope for it.

It's better to completely nip the other person's intentions in the bud to avoid further complications.

Murong Yao clearly understood Li Changqing's meaning, and a smile returned to her face.

Looking at Murong Yan again, her expression remained unchanged throughout.

Hearing Li Changqing's words, she simply bowed slightly: "This humble woman has come today only to make a divination; there is nothing else."

clever!

Li Changqing nodded, "Then I will not keep you two ladies any longer, please!"

Murong Yao and Murong Yan left.

Li Changqing shook his head.

Since Murong Yao didn't want him to interfere, he wouldn't interfere anymore.

No matter how smart Murong Yan is, Murong Yao, who controls the Kyoto Daily, is no longer on the same level as her.

As long as Murong Yao wants it, she won't suffer any losses.

With the Kyoto newspaper matter settled, Li Changqing pondered his next plan.

His next focus was on getting married, and then visiting the families of his concubines and secondary wives one by one.

As for how much benefit can be gained from the other party?

Li Changqing picked up his pen and quickly wrote down two words.

The first one is Xiaoyao.

His most important goal was to win over experts at the Free and Unfettered Realm and even the Great Free and Unfettered Realm.

With over six hundred prefectures in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was clearly unrealistic to assign a powerful and carefree individual to each prefecture.

But each state must have four or five powerful figures in charge.

Two are stationed in the main city, and two or three more are responsible for patrolling the county towns below the main city.

Anyone who dares to step forward will be directly suppressed by them.

If it's a powerful force, then naturally it would be Li Changqing, the supreme ruler, who would personally take action.

"Nearly twenty states, if we count five in each, we need to find at least one hundred experts at the Free and Unfettered Realm."

If Li Changqing were to train them himself, it would take forever.

"Each of the two Supreme Mansions needs 20, and the other four families need 10 each."

Even so, there are only eighty. Li Changqing plans to recruit the remaining 20 powerful cultivators at the Free and Unfettered Realm under the name of the Golden Dragon Hero.

He had previously led nearly a hundred powerful cultivators at the Free and Unfettered Realm, although they were unwilling to accept the constraints.

Li Changqing had previously tried to recruit him under the name of the Golden Dragon Hero, but to no avail.

But back then it was all just talk; now Li Changqing is certainly not short of money. After Li Changqing met with the two supreme residences, and the other four...

Besides powerful beings at the Free and Unfettered Realm, Li Changqing would also demand quotas from the Great Zhou Armory.

He originally had three of them.

Personally speaking, Li Changqing's scorpion stir-fried with chili peppers is already unique.

But that's not enough; he has so many grandmasters and powerful figures under his command.

When will it be our turn to go through the whole process?

Given this, Li Changqing must request more slots.

The number of seats reserved for members of the royal family is not particularly large.

Continuing to exploit the royal family is definitely not an option; the only solution is to find a way out from the two supreme families and the other four families.

Since they want to obtain the rich profits and power of the World Society.

How can you do it without giving anything in return?

Besides for those at the Free and Unfettered Realm, we must also make them bleed in other ways.

Just as Li Changqing was plotting how to trick his future father-in-laws...

The Murong sisters had arrived at the main gate of the Qin Prince's mansion.

"Sister, give up. The prince won't be swayed by your little tricks."

Hearing this, Murong Yan scoffed: "You say my sister used petty tricks, but haven't I done the same? It's an arranged marriage, a matter of parental command and matchmaker's words. If I had just obediently followed orders, how could you possibly have gotten the position of a future concubine? That's the capital's newspaper! It must earn at least tens of millions a year, right?"

Murong Yan deliberately spoke several times more, and then she saw the indifference in her older sister's eyes.

It seems she was wrong before; the newspaper's profits are even greater? Tens of millions, or...?

Murong Yan dug her fingernails into her flesh without even realizing it.
