In the fantasy world, all the people I met were beauties.

At this moment, a shifty-looking man lying on the ground shouted:

"The corrupt official is going to kill people to silence them!"

Others followed suit.

The man stepped forward:

"I am Zhu Haoran from the Martial Arts Academy. Today, I am willing to volunteer my blood to Xuanyuan! You are the daughter of a corrupt official, so kill me if you want! I firmly believe that the righteous path of heaven and earth will always exist, and I will never let you go unpunished!"

The people around him also shouted in unison:

"Leon from the Martial Arts Academy!"

"Martial Arts Academy Zhao Xuan!"

"Lin Yue from the Martial Arts Academy!"

"Martial Arts Academy Chen Jin!"

……

When Fu Sirui and Fu Sixuan heard that there were fellow students from the Martial Arts Academy among these people, they were caught in a dilemma.

If I take action, I can't bear to hurt my fellow disciples; if I don't take action, I will let them make trouble at my doorstep.

The two looked embarrassed, with tears in their eyes.

Li Zimo then slowly spoke:

"Zhu Haoran, right? You are all students of the Martial Arts Academy. Your passion is admirable, but don't let others take advantage of you."

"Since you believe the City Lord released the man due to lack of evidence, I would like to invite the City Lord to come over and have him explain it to you personally."

Zhu Haoran questioned: "You, can you really invite the city lord?"

Li Zimo smiled calmly: "You'll know after trying it."

Then, he sent a message to Wu Qingfeng, the Lord of Ziyun City:

"City Lord Wu, I'm at the gate of the Fu family. I have an urgent matter that I need you to handle."

Wu Qingfeng responded quickly: "Yes, senior, I will be there immediately."

Li Zimo turned to the crowd and said calmly:

"Everyone, please be patient. City Lord Wu will be here soon. Before then, please refrain from causing any more trouble, or you will bear the consequences."

Then, he whispered to Fu Sirui:

"Rui'er, put away your pressure and let them stand up."

Fu Sirui did as she was told, and everyone was freed. They looked at each other, full of suspicion about Li Zimo's identity, but still did not dare to say much, and only whispered to each other in private.

In the crowd, the shifty man challenged again:

"Don't believe him. How could a young boy like him possibly have the ability to ask the city lord for help?"

Others also echoed and demanded that the condemnation of Fu Heng continue.

Li Zimo's voice suddenly became low and threatening:

"Don't you even have the patience to wait a moment? Anyone who dares to speak again before the City Lord arrives will have their blood splattered five steps away."

Although his voice was soft, it echoed in everyone's ears like thunder, making people terrified. Everyone fell silent in an instant, and even the man with shifty eyes shut his mouth tactfully.

Everyone in the martial arts academy looked at Zhu Haoran in confusion. Zhu Haoran frowned and shook his head, signaling them to wait patiently.

Soon, Wu Qingfeng appeared in mid-air and landed steadily at the door of the Fu family. He glanced at the dirty gate, the slogans on the wall, and the gathered crowd, and he had a general idea in his mind.

He walked towards Li Zimo respectfully:

"Senior, are these people causing trouble in front of the Fu family's gate and disturbing you?"

Li Zimo nodded:

"Exactly. They've been saying that Fu Heng is a corrupt official, and that you released him because you had no evidence."

"Explain it to them."

"Also, investigate this matter thoroughly and enforce the law impartially."

"If Fu Heng is truly a corrupt official, then he should just accept the abuse. If he is not, then the person who spread the rumors should be arrested and punished."

"Especially the housekeeper, we need to investigate thoroughly! Didn't they say he might have been bribed by the Zhao family? I didn't want to get involved too much, but since the Zhao family is courting death, let's deal with them as well. Once you've investigated thoroughly, let me know the result."

Although Wu Qingfeng secretly groaned in his heart—he released Fu Heng because of Li Zimo's order, not because of lack of evidence—he did not dare to show it on his face and could only respectfully agree: "Yes, senior."

Then, Wu Qingfeng turned to the crowd and announced loudly:

"Fu Heng did not commit corruption. This was all the work of the steward. He used Fu Heng's name to accept bribes, causing the victim to falsely accuse Fu Heng. The steward is currently under interrogation. Since this matter has attracted widespread attention, I will personally conduct the trial and bring the true culprit to justice. I will also announce this to the entire city."

The crowd erupted in cheers: "Long live the City Lord!"

Wu Qingfeng waved his hand for silence and announced:

"Within three days, I will announce the details of the case and the outcome. Please wait for good news."

The crowd then gradually dispersed.

Li Zimo nodded with satisfaction and said to Wu Qingfeng:

"Thank you for your hard work, City Lord Wu."

Wu Qingfeng responded modestly, "You are too polite, Senior. If there is nothing else, I will investigate the case and report to you once I have found the truth."

Li Zimo nodded, and Wu Qingfeng took off into the air.

Li Zimo turned around gently, his eyes gently falling on Fu Sirui and Fu Sixuan who were hugging each other tightly.

The two beauties looked at him with eyes full of affection, as if the whole world was melting.

Fu Sirui raised a playful smile at the corner of her mouth and said coquettishly:

"You big bad guy, you were so cool just now. Even the city lord had to listen to you."

Her voice was clear and pleasant, with a hint of coquettishness.

Upon hearing this, Fu Sixuan nodded in agreement, with a gentle light flashing in her eyes, and her gaze towards Li Zimo became even more affectionate.

Li Zimo smiled slightly, his face filled with confidence and composure:

"Haven't I always been handsome? Why did you just realize it?"

There was a hint of teasing and a hint of doting in his words.

Fu Sirui's cheeks flushed slightly, and she pouted in a pretended angry tone:

"Yes, yes, you have always been handsome, okay? You are so conceited!"

Fu Sixuan smiled shyly, like a flower blooming in spring, and said gently:

"Sir, you have always been handsome. But you were especially handsome just now."

Fu Sirui felt that her sister was deliberately sabotaging her, so she stamped her feet and scolded:

"Sister, why are you like this? You always give in to him."

Fu Sixuan lowered her head shyly.

Li Zimo held Fu Sirui's slender waist with one hand, and stroked Fu Sixuan's soft hair with the other hand, and said with a smile:

"As a couple, it's natural for the husband to sing and the wife to follow. Rui'er, you really need to learn from your sister."

His movements were gentle and skillful, as if the two of them were already accustomed to such intimacy.

A hint of pride flashed across Fu Sirui's face, and she pouted:

"I don't want to listen to you."

But her body moved closer to Li Zimo, as if she was enjoying this dependence in silent protest.

Li Zimo smiled lightly, with a cunning glint in his eyes:

"If you don't listen to me, there's naturally some fun in not listening."

As he spoke, he hugged the two beauties and strode into the Fu family compound.

As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, Fu Sirui snuggled up to Li Zimo obediently, letting him hug her soft waist.

Her face was filled with a happy smile, as if the whole world was beautiful because of him.

After they closed the door, Fu Sirui asked in a low voice:

"Then the night before last, were you really the one who asked the City Lord to rescue us from prison?"

There was a hint of doubt and a hint of gratitude in her voice.
