EBE Chapter 167 Getting to the Point
Chapter 167 Getting to the Point
"Half-God Lü, you should stop now..." Lord Leng said with a stern face, "While it is true that the strong should not be insulted, the dignity of the Heavenly Capital Court is equally inviolable..."
You have dared to threaten a high-ranking official in front of me, the Imperial Censor. Please forgive me, but I cannot continue to pretend to be blind to this…
Snapped! !
At this moment, Lord Qu suddenly stopped Lord Bao, pointed at 'Lü Fengxian' and cursed, "Lü, you half-goddess, since you are so ungrateful, then don't blame me for being rude!"
I'll ask you one question: you already lost your title of Marquis of Tiandu when you faked your death to recover from your injuries!
"Then what gives you the right to be so disrespectful to us, officials of the imperial court!"
“That’s right!” Lord Bao immediately chimed in, “You’re just a commoner now, how dare you speak so disrespectfully to an official of the Imperial Court!”
His words were sharp, and he was sweating profusely.
“I did not threaten any officials of the imperial court; I was merely stating the facts.”
After answering Lord Leng, 'Lü Fengxian' immediately looked at the two officials with the same disdainful gaze one would give to trash.
"Why should I?" he sneered. "Because all of you combined can't even beat a single finger of mine. The weak shouldn't put on airs in front of the strong, or they won't even know how they died... Understand?"
Upon hearing this, Lord Bao scoffed, "Ridiculous! Kill us? You, a mere country bumpkin, dare you?"
This is a common problem among those in the imperial court: they only recognize official positions and power, not the actual strength of the strong. Relying on the court's backing, they dare to boss around ordinary people who are strong.
"That's right, you old thief, if you have the guts, then kill us..." Lord Qu said with a mocking smile.
"Look, do you think I dare?"
As she spoke, 'Lü Fengxian' raised her hand, pinched her sword fingers, and slashed towards the necks of the two adults. A blood-red sword light of soul power surged forth, and she was really going to take their heads.
Instantly, the two adults were filled with the fear of death.
The imperial censor Leng Rui, who was standing to the side, hurriedly drew his sword to defend himself, but he seemed to be struggling. If it weren't for the fact that the sword in his hand was specially made by the royal family, all three of them would probably be beheaded by now.
Although the sword light was blocked, the offensive momentum did not diminish in the slightest.
boom!
The sword light pushed the three of them, crashing through the courtyard wall behind them. It continued to crash through several more walls without showing any sign of stopping.
"Ugh!"
Lord Leng struggled to defend himself, and only by exerting all his strength could he deflect the sword light.
whoosh-
The sword light flew into the sky, cleaving through the clouds, as if parting the airspace above Yong'an City in the middle.
The two high-ranking officials were scrambling on the ground, urinating and wetting themselves.
"call…"
"call……"
Lord Leng shattered the ground to avoid ending up in the same sorry state as the other two.
"Tsk tsk tsk," 'Lü Fengxian' flashed in front of the three of them, "I really didn't expect that you, little blue-haired Nanniang, would have some skill, and be a Heaven-rank expert at that..."
He paused, then continued, "To actually manage to block my 'casual slash' with skill, not bad, not bad..."
clap clap!
Immediately afterwards, they clapped perfunctorily.
Goo...
Lord Leng kept swallowing, his hand gripping the knife already cracked and bleeding.
"A god-level expert is indeed terrifying. It seems he must have stopped, otherwise even if I used all my strength, I probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it..."
His arms trembled slightly, and blood was dripping from the mouth of his hands; the aftereffects were kicking in.
In an instant, Lord Qu hid behind Lord Bao like a submissive wife, while the latter was also in tears, but still pointed and made a fuss.
"Old dog, you actually dare to kill us! We are serving officials of the imperial court!"
Lord Qu, standing behind him, broke out in a cold sweat, thinking to himself, "Damn it, thank goodness Censor Leng was here, otherwise I would have really messed up..."
"You yourselves ordered me to do this; I was just following orders." 'Lü Fengxian' shrugged. "Besides, as the man with the biggest dick in the entire city, how could I be a coward..."
He paused for a moment, then said, "These two gentlemen are really something. If they've had enough of living, they could have just committed suicide themselves. Why make a commoner do it for them? They're incredibly lazy."
"Did you hear that? This scoundrel is utterly lawless!" Lord Bao glanced at Lord Qu behind him, then angrily pointed at 'Lü Fengxian,' "When I get back, I will definitely impeach you!"
Upon hearing this, 'Lü Fengxian' did not speak, but simply looked at Lord Leng quietly.
At this moment, Lord Qu's mind was racing, and his face was extremely gloomy.
"Although I'm willing to get involved in the first trial and use the Bao family to exacerbate the factional conflict between the First Prince and the Second Prince... things could go wrong if I go too far..."
The goal of making the Lü family dislike the eldest prince should have been achieved... It's best to stop while you're ahead...
Thinking of this, he suddenly spoke.
"Half-God Lü! You attacked without cause just now, and I will report you for this!"
"See you later!"
After saying that, he quickly left the place of trouble, and Lord Bao followed him.
Lord Leng bowed and said, "This humble official was rude and offended you greatly. Please forgive me, Half-God Lü..."
"Whatever," 'Lü Fengxian' waved her hand, "I'm just wandering around aimlessly. Want to come along for a stroll? We can find a place to take a leak while we're at it..."
"No, I don't think so..." Lord Leng was taken aback and shook his head repeatedly.
Time slipped away quietly, and the banquet came to an end.
After exchanging pleasantries with the high-ranking officials, the banquet officially came to an end.
"Young Master, we would like to offer you a toast!" Naira approached Lü Fengxian and respectfully offered her a drink.
Feg also raised a cup, "Young Marquis, Miss Naira is the fiancée of the Huyan clan. Could you please put in a good word for her with Senior Huyan?"
Lü Fengxian didn't speak, but looked at Hu Yanwei, who nodded.
"She has agreed to protect your Miss Naira."
"Thank you, thank you, Senior Huyan!"
After the two left, another group of people arrived; it was Lu Tianhu and his group of merchants.
"Fourth brother, this is Young Master Zhang," Lü Tianhu introduced them one by one.
This group of people took turns toasting each other.
Meanwhile, inside the inner hall, Lord Shangguan of the Arsenal and Lord Tie of the Secret Investigation Department toasted Lü Tianlong.
To show her approachability, Lü Fengxian went to every banquet table and became familiar with the various families.
Immediately afterwards, he arrived at the table where the Shen family was seated, after passing through the Ministry of Works under the eaves of Lord Shen's table.
Xiaowen immediately smiled and reached out for a hug.
"Xiaowen and I are friends, so we're practically family. Don't hesitate to ask me for anything in the future."
With Xiaowen in one arm and a wine glass in the other, Lü Fengxian returned the greetings one by one without much formality, showing genuine concern for this family, which was one of the few times she treated them with sincerity.
Then, he went to the table where Zhula had freeloaded a meal.
"Is my Lu family chef's skill alright?" Lu Fengxian asked with a smile.
"Not just good, it's absolutely fantastic!" Zhula laughed as she picked up her teacup. "Hehe, I'm still young, so let's toast you, our new master, with tea instead of wine!"
Qige raised her glass, "I'd like to toast you too."
It must be said that Tiandu truly lives up to its reputation as a nation that values etiquette and law; these two Miren people have already been assimilated.
The banquet for bestowing honors and rewards came to a successful conclusion, and all the guests went home.
The servants of the Lü family happily carried boxes of congratulatory gifts, and the entire courtyard was filled with laughter.
The maids were clearing away the cold tea from the dining table after everyone had left.
"Ah~~~~"
After going through the entire process, Lü Fengxian, who was at the peak of the Heavenly Rank, almost suffered from alcohol poisoning. When she walked, it was as if her soul was chasing after her as she walked in front of her.
As he and his family saw off the guests at the door, his listless appearance elicited giggles from many unmarried young ladies.
Unexpectedly, the dignified young marquis was defeated at the banquet. This will become the talk of the town in Yong'an.
It was late at night, in the conference room of the east courtyard of the Lü residence.
The innermost layer was filled with defensive formations and soundproof barriers, and there were even more killing formations on the outermost layer.
"So... it was your Lord of Langhuan who went missing in the Southern Wilderness?"
P.S.: Now, let's get down to business.
