Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

Although Yunping subconsciously wanted to refute, after thinking about it carefully—it seemed that he had no way to refute it at all!

He did indeed take Xiaozhu to various places unsuitable for children back then, which of course included...

“Exactly!” Fang Qingzhu wholeheartedly agreed with Ye Yuchan’s words. “That old scoundrel took advantage of my childhood, tricking me in all sorts of ways and taking me to all sorts of strange places. I was only eleven years old when he took me to a brothel…”

"He even told me that if I had money, I could open a brothel full of handsome men and name it something like... 'Host Club'."

Cold and damp

Ye Yuchan's eyes unconsciously turned cold.

The old rogue's dark history was exposed once again. He quickly laughed and then flashed to Fang Qingzhu's side, swiftly covering her mouth, which would incessantly and frantically reveal her past whenever it opened.

He chuckled sheepishly at Ye Yuchan, then lowered his voice and said to Fang Qingzhu, "Little Bamboo, stop talking. I'll go with you and help you sort this out, okay?!"

Fang Qingzhu's eyes immediately curved into crescent shapes as her mouth was covered, and she nodded with great satisfaction.

Well, I've fallen for it.

Yunping fell right into the trap his own sister had set for him without even thinking.

He smiled and shook his head, looking at Ye Yuchan, whose face had turned so cold it was almost freezing. Clearly, the girl's gaze towards Yun Ping had changed from that of a hooligan to that of a pervert.

Come to think of it, what normal person would take an eleven-year-old girl to a brothel and then try to instill the terrifying idea of ​​male prostitutes in her?!

"Uh, Little Rain Cicada..."

Upon hearing Yunping call her name, Ye Yuchan quickly took a step back, looking at him with disgust. "Please don't call me by my name like that. Perversion might be contagious."

"...I can't even refute what you said..."

"Good to know." Ye Yuchan sneered. "I really didn't expect you to be such a pervert... These so-called elementary school students are really amazing?"

Fang Qingzhu looked at Ye Yuchan in surprise and doubt, "How do you know that old bastard said that back then?!"

stare--

Ye Yuchan's gaze had reached absolute zero.

Yunping was almost in tears. "Hey Xiaozhu, can we not talk about the past anymore? Let's go and deal with those troublemaking families, okay?"

The old rogue swore that this was the first time in his life he had ever wanted to resolve the problem so quickly.

Moreover, this little bamboo feels completely different from the innocent and cute little girl who used to blush when she heard dirty jokes. The current Fang Qingzhu... is a total devil!

Where did his little bamboo girl, who used to chase after us all day crying, go? Give her back to Old Yun!

Ah... I don't know why—looking at Ye Yuchan and Fang Qingzhu beside him, Yunping suddenly wanted to sigh to the heavens.

"My dear kite, please wake up! These hot-tempered girls are driving me crazy..."

126. Is the Imperial Palace about to stir up trouble again??

Snow-Cold Palace.

Before anyone knew it, the council hall, used for audiences and handling important matters, was already packed with people. The crowd swayed restlessly, and the noisy chatter filled the entire palace.

These people were dressed very differently from ordinary people. They wore phoenix coronet and embroidered belts, and jade dragons and purple silk were tied around their waists with expensive gold thread as decorations. They wore long shoes made of various precious materials. Each of them had a radiant face and looked like a superior person.

Anyone with even a slight understanding of the Northern Ice Palace knows that they are the most important economic group within the Inner Three Palaces—the family elders belonging to the Palace of Offering.

Speaking of the Palace of Offering, it is not as famous as the Snow Palace or the Palace of Judgment in the eyes of many people.

Because the Palace of Worship manages not government affairs or regulations, but rather wealth—something that almost only merchants would pay attention to.

For most disciples of the Northern Ice Palace, being able to join the Judgment Palace and become a member of the Judgment Team is a matter of great honor and glory.

If one could join the Snow Cold Palace and become the Palace Master's personal guard, that would be something to be laughed at until one's whole body cramps, even in one's dreams.

As for the Imperial Palace?

I'm sorry, although the Offering Palace is one of the three inner palaces, in the eyes of most disciples, it's just a place to collect money.

Tell me, on the long and arduous path of cultivation, who wouldn't want to be invincible and unparalleled? Who wouldn't want to cleave mountains and split rivers to annihilate countless enemies?

Most cultivators are focused on improving their cultivation level. Unless they know they have no chance of breaking through, almost no one will care about trivial matters other than cultivation.

Those residing in the palace were the family elders whose strength had already reached its peak and who had no further opportunities to break through.

"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment."

Amidst the clamor of voices, a loud and clear voice suddenly rang out.

Surprisingly, the usually imposing and arguing families all stopped talking and stood watching the figure slowly walking out of the crowd.

The man was dressed simply, with a purple ribbon wrapped around his waist, but his plain white clothes made him look particularly clean.

Especially her delicate face, with her small eyes narrowed into slits and her lips slightly upturned.

Whether for the sake of making the declaration or not, he stepped directly onto the bright red carpet and walked step by step up the steps leading to the throne.

dong dong dong.

Clear footsteps rang out, accompanied by his words, reaching everyone's ears.

"I understand the feelings of all the family representatives, and I am aware that this sudden incident has had a particularly severe impact on our Gongfeng Palace, but I ask that you all remain quiet for a while."

He stood before the throne, gazing at the golden double-dragon chair that only the king of the Northern Ice Palace was qualified to sit on. He smiled silently, then turned around to face the family elders below the stage.

"I am Li Xuanfei, the Palace Master of the Northern Ice Palace. I'm sure you all know me."

His small eyes were always narrowed to slits, and as he spoke, he unconsciously glanced at the crowd below.

Very well, it seems they've been stunned by their own words.

Seizing the opportunity, he spoke again.

"Palace Master Fan's sudden passing is quite unexpected. I know you have many agreements and contracts among yourselves, but since the Palace Master is gone, according to the rules and regulations of the Northern Ice Palace, all of these contracts and agreements are hereby nullified!"

Dispose of as invalid!

These words caused an uproar in the room.

Countless people among them were eagerly awaiting the completion of the transaction, hoping that the promised goods from Fan Dongyin would arrive soon, and there were even families among them who had suffered huge losses in the transaction.

Are you really going to just dismiss them with a simple "cancelled" statement?!

That's utter nonsense!

Immediately, many people began to curse, and some even angrily wanted to cause a scene in the Snow Cold Palace council hall.

Li Xuanfei had anticipated this situation and quickly spoke, his loud voice echoing throughout the room.

"Everyone, please be patient. I have something to say, so please listen carefully."

As the master of the palace, his words carried some weight, and the commotion in the hall below immediately subsided.

Li Xuanfei smiled gently, his manner of speaking resembling that of a python with a faint smile.

"As the head of the Palace of Offering, I naturally have the responsibility to be accountable for the contracts that you have already signed. Next, I will make a request to the acting head of the Palace. If she agrees, I can reactivate your transaction terms."

At this point, he glanced at the crowd below with a touch of emotion.

He let out a long sigh, "But even so, some of you may have some conflicts with that acting palace master, and I'm afraid I won't be able to help you secure an opportunity..."

Indeed, within the territory of the Northern Ice Palace, the most powerful entity besides the Snow Cold Palace is the Judgment Palace.

As the head of the Judgment Palace, Fang Qingzhu had some connection with almost every family present, though some were rather casual, while others...

They were practically being watched as criminals.

Therefore, Fang Qingzhu has always been suppressing those ambitious families. Li Xuanfei is right; given Xiaozhu's personality, she would never let them off the hook.

Li Xuanfei's words hit the nail on the head once again, and the murmurs below rose again.

It was at this moment that Li Xuanfei suddenly gave a subtle wink to someone below.

In the crowd, an inconspicuous person stirred and shouted in a high-pitched voice.

"Then why don't you just become the palace master, Master Li?!"

……

There was a moment of silence.

Immediately, a sound like a surging wave erupted.

Yes, if Li Xuanfei becomes the palace master, wouldn't all of them who serve in the palace be promoted to heaven?

In the past, when they were involved in buying and selling slaves or other shady dealings, they had to be wary of those hotheads in the Judgment Palace. Now, with Li Xuanfei backing them up...

Then they wouldn't be afraid of the cops at all; they could just go out on the street and sell porn!

Looking down at the crowd below who were clamoring for Li Xuanfei to become the palace master, Li Xuanfei, standing in front of the throne, smiled calmly.

This is exactly the effect he wanted.

"Tsk tsk tsk, so black, it's fucking black..."

Standing in a corner of the council hall, a refined young gentleman waved his folding fan, leaned against a gray stone pillar, and stared mockingly at the person who had spoken earlier in the crowd.

This guy isn't a member of any family at all; he's just someone who does odd jobs in the palace.

Feng Tanghuan had met this guy once or twice and had some impression of him.

Yes, even a fool could figure it out; this was Li Xuanfei's plan.

First, use the regulations of the Northern Ice Palace to erase the interests of this group of families, then use the trial of the Palace Master to make a fuss, and finally stir up public sentiment to make himself the next Palace Master of the Northern Ice Palace.

"Young Master Feng, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

The equally elegantly dressed young man standing beside Feng Tanghuan muttered to himself, "Actually, I think... what he said makes a lot of sense?"

"Because he was right. From a perspective of interests, he is indeed suitable to be the palace master."

A woman with light makeup standing behind Feng Tanghuan frowned, and a soft, melodious voice came from behind her, "Brother Tanghuan, didn't you dislike Palace Master Li? Why are you speaking up for him now?"

“I didn’t speak up for him… I was just stating the facts.” Feng Tanghuan patted the woman’s delicate head. “It’s just from a perspective of interests. Apart from interests, I’m afraid Li Xuanfei can’t bring anything to the Northern Ice Palace.”

"Hmm, what does that mean?"

"That means Li Xuanfei is at most a businessman, and not suitable to be the palace master."

As soon as Feng Tanghuan finished speaking, the young man next to him, who was a head shorter than him, looked at him in surprise.

"Young Master Feng, I feel like you've changed a bit. You weren't like this before."
