Seventy years old is the age to take risks!

Chapter 54 A Man of Immense Talent and a Brilliant Dream: A Single Imperial Edict Rules the World

Upon hearing this, Yang Su's pupils contracted. It was the White Tiger Hall again; this wicked woman was about to kill someone again.

Over the years, he had been wondering why so many people loyal to him had died mysteriously. It turned out that this wicked woman had hired someone to kill them.

No wonder, he had just fallen ill when all his power was taken away from him.

"Tell him to wait a moment."

Jiang Yulian quickened her pace, her expression becoming even more frenzied. She was enjoying Yang Su's expression as she went along with her actions, reaching the extreme of perversion.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Jiang Yuan sat upright in the chair and suddenly opened his eyes.

Outside the door came a series of light footsteps, as if someone was rushing over impatiently.

As the sound drew closer, the surrounding maids looked tense and involuntarily lowered their heads.

Jiang Yuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall woman wearing a dark gold nightgown. Her long, black hair reached her waist, and her legs were longer than his waist. She exuded an air of nobility.

At first glance, Jiang Yuan felt that this woman was dignified and elegant, exuding luxury.

However, there was still a hint of lust in her eyes, and her gaze was somewhat unfocused, clearly indicating that she was not yet satisfied.

With his seventy years of experience, Jiang Yuan immediately saw through the oddity.

Damn it, you bitch!

She was doing *that* before she came to see him! That's outrageous!

"Old sir, we've finally met."

Upon seeing Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yulian's lips curled up slightly, and she curiously sized up the old man.

Ever since the man in black suffered a loss at Jiang Yuan's hands last time, she had made a special effort to investigate Jiang Yuan's background, only to find that Jiang Yuan had an innocent background and was just an ordinary old man who had suddenly emerged as a prominent figure.

There is only one possibility for this situation.

Jiang Yuan has been hiding his true intentions very well!

Or perhaps Jiang Yuan has an extremely powerful background, so powerful that even she couldn't find out about it.

This made her even more curious: who exactly was Jiang Yuan?

Sure enough it was her!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan felt a chill run down his spine and stood up to give Jiang Yulian a slight bow.

"This old man is Jiang Yuan, and I greet you, Madam."

"I was unaware that it was Madam who summoned me last time; please forgive me."

After speaking, Jiang Yuan looked up and met the woman's gaze.

At this moment, Jiang Yulian's eyes had returned to calm, yet they were like a deep, still pool, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.

Upon a second glance, Jiang Yuan's perception of the woman changed. He felt that she exuded a captivating charm from within, indescribably beautiful, yet impossible to look away from, her gaze always fixed on her.

"It's alright, sir, please have a seat."

Jiang Yulian's melodious voice rang out, instantly surpassing the vast majority of mature female voices on the market.

"Please, Madam."

Jiang Yuanshen extended his hand, following suit.

When dealing with people of taste, you should treat them with taste.

"Serve tea!"

The two sat facing each other, smiled at each other, and remained silent for a long time.

Those who know the situation might think this is a business deal involving murder, while those who don't might think it's a blind date.

Jiang Yuan's gaze kept drifting towards Jiang Yulian, and he couldn't help but marvel at her.

He had lived for so many years and seen countless women, including many stunningly beautiful girls, but this woman was truly extraordinary and indescribably wonderful. Every glance gave him a different feeling.

Jiang Yulian took the teacup, put it to her lips, and blew on it lightly. She said, "If you want to see, please look openly. There's no need to hide anything. I don't mind."

Jiang Yuan was immediately embarrassed. He put down his teacup and said with a smile, "I'm really sorry. Everyone loves beauty. Although I'm over seventy, I'm still not immune to it."

"The old gentleman is indeed honest."

Jiang Yulian took a sip of tea and said calmly, "The old gentleman said I'm beautiful, but I wonder what makes me beautiful?"

Jiang Yuan was stunned.

As expected of a talented woman, she started by asking such a deadly question.

Or is it that women all like to ask themselves where their beauty lies?

Upon hearing this, not only Jiang Yuan, but all the maids around him tensed up. The lady was unpredictable, and if they accidentally angered her, who knew what terrible things might happen next.

The atmosphere froze for several seconds.

Jiang Yuan began, "I am not good with words, so I can only borrow a phrase from an ancient poet to express my praise for you, Madam."

"Oh? The old gentleman is also knowledgeable in poetry. May I ask which line it is?" Jiang Yulian smiled and looked at Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment, then smiled faintly: "There is an ancient poem that says, 'A single glance back and a smile can launch a thousand ships, making all the beauties of the six palaces pale in comparison.' That probably refers to you, Madam."

"A single glance back, a smile, and all the beauties of the imperial harem pale in comparison..."

Jiang Yulian murmured and repeated it, a hint of reminiscence flashing in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

After about three or four breaths, Jiang Yulian came to her senses and smiled faintly: "What a fine poem, indeed a fine poem. I wonder which ancient poet wrote it. I consider myself well-read, yet I have never heard of this poem before."

A look of reminiscence flashed in Jiang Yuan's eyes as he sighed, "That was me, an ancient person from the world of my dreams."

"Hehehe... I never expected the old gentleman to be so witty, a true scholar and gentleman. The dream world is so interesting, so very interesting."

Jiang Yulian smiled, a smile that was breathtakingly beautiful, comparable to that of a young girl in her prime, and possessing a unique charm.

Jiang Yuan thought her smile was perfectly normal, but the maids around her were all extremely nervous and at a loss, as if they had witnessed something unbelievable.

They were the lady's maids, so they naturally knew that their lady was not one to smile.

Even when they laugh, it's a fake laugh; they would never genuinely show their joy.

But now, he actually laughed out loud at a seventy-year-old man.

After laughing for a while, Jiang Yulian swirled her teacup and said, "However, although the poem is good, I don't like this particular line. Could you please suggest another one, sir?"

Jiang Yuan frowned slightly: "You don't like it? Why?"

Jiang Yulian said slowly, "Judging from the old gentleman's poem, it should be describing a beautiful concubine in the harem. But since ancient times, beautiful women have had short lives. I don't want to stay in that cold harem, nor do I want to be that kind of woman."

"May I ask, Madam, what kind of woman do you wish to be?"

Jiang Yuan glanced at Jiang Yulian and asked cautiously.

Although this woman showed no signs of cultivation fluctuations, her mere presence alone created an overwhelming feeling of suffocation; her aura was simply too powerful.

This kind of person probably has quite a lot of ambition.

Jiang Yulian did not answer, but tapped her fingers lightly on the tea table, as if she was thinking about something.

After about three or four breaths, she smiled and said, "Since I'm feeling inspired today, why don't I compose a line of poetry myself and ask the old gentleman to appreciate it?"

"I dare not presume. I have long heard that you are the most talented woman in Yuzhou City. I am all ears."

Jiang Yulian suppressed her smile, becoming as composed as when they first met, and spoke slowly:

"With boundless talent and a beautiful dream, he ruled the world with a single imperial edict."

"How are you, sir?"

After reading it, Jiang Yulian smiled and looked at Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan was shocked. This woman was not only ambitious, she wanted to be Wu Zetian!
