“You…” “You…” “You…” “You…” … “The millennium king city, blood flows like a river!” “The hundred-year-old state will be cut off today!” “Your name will be engraved on the pillar of shame in history!” “Your kingdom is hereby destroyed!” “Your ethnic group will be slaughtered!” “Everyone must be buried with the grass-roots parents and relatives!” The young man’s cold words seemed like a curse, embedding themselves into Lan Su’s mind. It became…-

“Who are you?” Lan Su’s expression changed, and he asked Bai Yu. In a few brief sentences, Bai Yu explained a lot. Firstly, he expressed absolute self-confidence, claiming no one could kill him. Secondly, being born in his homeland, he professed a favourable sentiment towards the imperial dynasty with no rebellious intentions. Thirdly, he asserted his unparalleled talent, destined to be remembered for generations. Lan Su needed to judge whether to believe Bai Yu’s words and couldn’t make…

“Bai Yu’s statements are not wicked, but rather the truth! It embodies the essence of the path to kingship!” “Would you prefer kindness, even for princes and generals?” “Because what Bai Yu says can elevate anyone to a high throne, ruling a vast kingdom.” “The authority of rulers doesn’t come from divine providence but from human actions!” “If Bai Yu’s ideas spread, it will lead to widespread chaos, and the people will revolt!” “So, Your Majesty…” “You’re…

No words were exchanged as Bai Yu was led into the palace. It was already late at night. Lanterns adorned the imperial palace, casting neither bright nor dim light. The green-clad secret guard escorted him to a finely decorated palace. “Your Majesty, Bai Yu has arrived,” reported the guard. The guard gently opened the door and reported, “Your Majesty, Bai Yu has arrived.” “I’m aware. Withdraw,” said the Emperor, Lan Su. The green-clad guard nodded slightly vanished from the spot, leaving…

“The minister obeys the order!” Bai Yu nodded with a smile. However, there was no action: “It’s just… you have to say first come, first served!” “Before Your Majesty, someone invited me first. What should I do?” “How many?” Everyone: … Green-clothed secret guard: ??? At this moment, several secret guards in Green-clothed also saw him. The guy the emperor said he wanted to invite really didn’t look like a normal person. Insolent and willful, without borders. That was to say,…

“Stop the nonsense!” “Even if the king himself comes today, he won’t be able to save you!” “Call for help!” “Hit me hard!” The demented Yang Shancheng lay on the ground, staring fiercely at Bai Yu, shouting loudly. However, the people around remained unmoved. Several constables, looking at the newcomers, were even more baffled. Green-clothed secret guards! Directly under the emperor, with the authority to supervise and execute officers without reporting. They were not people they…

“Dad, what’s wrong with you?” “Father, what’s ailing you?” “But what’s the illness?” “But what’s the matter?” “Daughter, let me take you to the doctor.” “Daughter, I’ll take you to see a doctor.” … After returning from grading the exam papers, my father had been anxious, sighing, and wasn’t in good health. In the courtyard, the young daughter, looking at her father, who gazed at the sky, said with concern, “No problem?” The other party shook his head…

“Mr. Li, don’t you think your tavern is a bit small?” “The guests are all waiting outside. If this continues, the gathered crowd will gradually disperse…” Bai Yu smiled and chatted with the shopkeeper, who had left a good impression on him. “Uh… Does Mr. Bai want me to expand it?” “But expanding would require closing down, and I think it would also impact business…” Shopkeeper Li just wanted to chat, not seeking advice, but since Bai Yu brought it up, he was eager to listen.…

“Mr. Bai, you’re back!” Not long after the server left, a person approached. Not here to serve food, but the restaurant manager, Manager Li. Despite using up the savings, the old man’s face never lost his smile in the past half-month. The hundred gold flowers were indeed worth it! With this progress, he could earn back all the hundred gold within a year. A great talent from ancient times, they naturally got along well. “Hey, Shopkeeper Li, business is thriving!” Bai Yu gestured for him to…

“Come here!” Lan Su slammed the table hard, and the concealed secret guard swiftly appeared before him. “Decree! There’s cheating in this exam!” “Detain all officials involved in transcribing, invigilating, and grading!” Lan Su’s expression darkened as he issued orders to the kneeling secret guards. Temporarily, no one except himself was allowed to see this paper. “Yes!” The secret guard withdrew, disappearing in an instant. After they left, Lan Su sighed, no longer in the mood…
