rds, the waiter's face changed slightly, and he looked at Fang Yu.But before he could speak, Liang Jinfu walked over, sizing up Fang Yu from head to toe with a playful look in his eyes, and said with...After becoming Xi Yuquan, he quickly went to the depths of the forest, that area emitting an unusual aura.

Before this area, he fell down.

"Zhen!"

Just then, a white light suddenly flashed ahead.

After the light dissipated, a large city stood before them.

The exterior is not ostentatious, but the area it occupies is still quite large, with several high-rise buildings inside.

Deepest of all, there was a grand hall.

This must be Gao Ru's stronghold, Su Yuquan didn't lie.

"You... are Lord such-and-such"

Before the city gates, a group of guards stepped forward.

The guard at the front obviously recognized Xuyuquan and was taken aback.

"Master Xu, how did you come here" the guard asked with much more respect.

"Oh, it must be the Grand Registrar who wants to see you! Please come in, please come in."

Before Fang Yu could answer, the guard continued talking to himself, gesturing for Fang Yu to enter the city.

It seems that Xuyuquan and Gao Ru have a good relationship... No wonder he could get so many lotus seats from Gao Ru. Fang Yu thought to himself.

The guard barked an order to his men, then strode deeper into the citadel with Fang Yu.

"Master Xu, Gao Dagzhu, the high-ranking magistrate, hasn't been in a good mood lately. He called you here, it must be important. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come all this way."

The guard walked ahead with his head bowed, using his spiritual sense to transmit a message to Fang Yu.

"...Yes, have you noticed that Gaodai Zhuhu has been in a bad mood lately" Fang Yu asked back. "

"The Gao Da Zhu Bu was visibly troubled. Lately, he had gone out several times, and each time he returned, his face was grim. He rarely went back to his private chamber either." the guard replied, "So I figured something must have happened for him to act this way.”

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I see."

"Master Xu, the Chief Registrar is looking for you. Could it be about something that's bothering him" the guard asked curiously.

"I still don't know, I'll have to see him to know what to talk about." Fang Yu replied.

"That's how it is," the guard replied.

Soon, he brought Fang Yu to the main hall deep within the Imperial City.

"Master Xu, please come in. Since the esteemed High Steward has invited you, he should be waiting for you in the main hall," said the guard respectfully.

Fang Yu nodded.

The guard then turned and walked away.

Then Fang Yu stepped across the threshold and entered the main hall.

The main hall was empty and very quiet.

Fang Yu walked in, but saw no one.

This is of course normal.

Because Gao Ru never summoned Xu Yuquan at all.

However, since the guard brought him here, it means that Gao Ru spends most of his time within this hall.

If not on the throne, then somewhere else.

Fang Yu thought for a moment, and was about to walk into the inner hall.

At that moment, there was a creaking sound from behind.

The side hall's door was pushed open.

Then, a figure emerged from the crowd.

"Who"

A deep voice boomed out, laced with anger.

Fan Yu turned around and saw a figure standing at the gate of the side hall in the distance.

This was a man of great girth... one could even say obesity.

He had a cruel smile, a big bushy mustache shaped like an eight, and his eyes bulged out, making him look menacing.

And the clothes he wore were adorned with countless jewels, which glittered in the light, displaying a dazzling array of colors.

To be honest, such a figure... is rare to see on a cultivator.

Even on Earth, cultivators at the Qi Refining stage and Core Formation stage... would find it very difficult to see such a plump physique.

Because cultivators can fully confidently control their bodies.

You can be thin, fat, or muscular.

The man before me obviously likes this plump figure, or perhaps he doesn't care.

"This must be Gao Ru," Fang Yu thought to himself, his eyes flickering.

"Xū Yù Quán"

This man stared at Fang Yu, his brows furrowed.

"Master Gao," Fang Yu bowed his head, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Once you find Gao Ru, you can do whatever you want after that.

"What are you doing here"

Just like what the guard had said, Gao Ru was clearly in a bad mood and his tone was full of impatience.

He walked to the high seat above the main hall and sat down.

"I heard that Honorable Gao hasn't been feeling well lately, so I came to cheer him up." Fang Yu looked up and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Gao Ru's brow furrowed even tighter.

"Bang!"

He slammed his right hand on the jade figure kneeling beside him, glaring at Fang Yu and snarling, "Su Yuquan, do you think I need you to solve my problems You don't know a thing!"

Gao Ru clearly vented all the anger he had accumulated before onto Shu Yuquan, his subordinate.

Fang Yu still smiled and asked, "Master Gao, if you don't state the problem, how would you know that I am incapable of alleviating your worries"

Gao Ru stared intently at Su Yuquan, his originally rapid breathing gradually becoming calm.

Then, he squinted, raising his hand in a gesture. “Have a seat,” he said. see a sky of black and red. Those auras, like living things, condensed into ghostly faces that charged towards him.Zu Tian seized the opportunity, a powerful aura erupting from his body as he charged...
