Fearing being killed for his overwhelming merits, the empress decided to marry him.

"Host, there are only 27 days left until the mission is completed. Please hurry."

"The Supreme Destiny System will lead you to the pinnacle of life and help you achieve the ultimate dominance over the world."

"The host's current luck value is 22320. If you can gain another 8,000 luck values, you will be able to have a certain impact on the luck of the Great Chu Dynasty."

Just after midnight, a system notification sounded in Ye Fan's mind.

He got up and sat on the edge of the bed, feeling the cold wind blowing in from the window, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

When he was five years old, he went on a trip to the north with his family and was suddenly chased by a group of bandits.

In a moment of desperation, he kicked his half-brother, who was two months older than him, off the carriage. Inexplicably, this thing called the "Supreme Luck System" appeared in his mind.

The system told him that as long as he did as it said, he could become the ruler of the entire continent.

Thus, under the guidance of the system, the young Ye Fan embarked on a unique life.

Each time, the system would assign him some tasks and then reward him with something called Luck Points.

He didn't know what this thing was for, but the system told him that once he accumulated enough luck points, he would achieve an unparalleled life, and everyone in the world would revolve around him.

Indeed, just as the system said, Ye Fan followed its instructions and gradually reached the pinnacle.

Moreover, wherever he goes, he always encounters friendly people, which are all benefits brought to him by luck points.

However, his luck value cannot affect the surrounding area directly under the imperial court.

To break through this barrier, one must raise their luck value to 30000 points.

Killing his father, Ye Mo, would allow him to obtain the missing 8000 points of luck.

"Damn it! If I had known this would happen, I should have just taken action instead of using a slow-acting poison to wear them down!"

The thought of Ye Mo's current whereabouts filled Ye Fan with anxiety and confusion.

"It seems I must find Shen Lang tomorrow and get him to take me to see my father no matter what."

……

The next day, after roll call, Ye Fan said directly to Yuan Daimao, "Lord Yuan, I have important business to discuss with the Duke of Zhenguo. Do you have any ideas on how to do so?"

"What? You want to see the Duke of Zhenguo?" Yuan Daimao looked incredulous. "What do you want to see the Duke of Zhenguo for?"

Ye Fan: "Of course I have something important to discuss. I wonder if Lord Yuan could lend a hand."

"I really can't help you with this," Yuan Daimao refused directly. "The Duke of Zhenguo isn't someone you can just see whenever you want. Doctor Ye, don't even think about it."

"You should focus on handling your current official duties first. Once you're promoted to the rank of a third-grade vice minister, you'll naturally have the qualifications to apply for an audience with the emperor in the inner palace."

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan was furious.

When he first met Jiang Chong at the Shu King's residence, he could see him whenever he wanted.

Why is it so difficult to even meet the Duke now?

But Yuan Daimao's next words filled him with even more despair: "Let alone the Duke of Zhenguo, even if you were here in the Ministry of Justice, there would be many steps involved in just getting an audience with the Minister."

I advise you to stop daydreaming and focus on finishing your current work. Wait for the year-end review, and perhaps then you'll have a chance to meet the Duke of Zhenguo.

End of the year?

By the end of the year, the system task will have already failed, so what's the point then!

"Lord Yuan, I really have something urgent to attend to. Please help me."

As he spoke, Ye Mo took out a silver note from his pocket and quietly slipped it into Yuan Daimao's arms.

"What are you doing..."

Yuan Daimao looked troubled when he saw the silver note worth a thousand taels in his arms.

"Please help me, Lord Yuan."

Ye Fan looked embarrassed and bowed to Yuan Daimao.

Seeing his sincere appearance, Yuan Daimao's heart softened, and he sighed, "Ah, never mind, you wait here, I'll be right back."

After saying that, he got up and walked out of the hall.

"Lord Yuan, I beg you!"

Ye Fan bowed in the direction where Yuan Daimao had disappeared.

Once he confirmed that the person had disappeared from his sight, Ye Fan wiped the smile off his face.

"What impartiality and incorruptibility? It's nothing but a publicity stunt."

"What official in the world doesn't love money? Pshaw..."

Ye Fan calmly returned to his desk, like a steady mountain, quietly awaiting Shen Lang's summons.

However, a quarter of an hour later, a series of heavy and rapid footsteps, like crashing waves, came from outside the hall.

Just as Ye Fan was about to get up, he heard Ding Ye's voice: "Doctor Ye, stand up!"

Ye Fan was taken aback. He met Ding Ye's bright eyes, and then looked at Yuan Daimao standing to the side with a half-smile. His eyelids twitched involuntarily, and he obediently stood up.

Ding Ye held up the bribe note and asked, "I ask you, did you give this note to Yuan Daimao?"

Ye Fan nodded: "Yes."

"Very good. I thought you were a decent person, but I didn't expect you to have learned how to bribe your boss on only your second day at the company."

"No, I didn't!" Ye Fan hurriedly retorted, "I was just trying to show my respect to Lord Yuan and hope he would help me out."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Daimao immediately said, "Master Ding, don't listen to his nonsense. He was just eager to see the Duke of Zhenguo, which is why he gave me a thousand taels of silver."

"This humble servant dared not delay in the slightest, and immediately came to inform Master Ding."

"Hmph, what else do you have to say?"

Looking at Ding Ye's dark face, and then at Yuan Daimao's completely different attitude from yesterday.

Ye Fan once again experienced the treacherous nature of officialdom.

Seeing that Ye Fan remained silent, Ding Ye said directly, "It seems you have nothing to say, is that it? Considering this is your first offense, and out of respect for Prime Minister Ye..."

"I will act on behalf of Minister Liu and spare you from imprisonment. Instead, give you fifty strokes of the cane, then strip you of your official position and send you out of the palace."

"what?!"

Ye Fan's eyes widened.

"My lord, why must you be so heartless!"

"I remember making it very clear when I handed you your official credentials on the first day: the Ministry of Justice has strict rules, and you cannot commit any illegal acts."

It seems you're ignoring what I said, or are you just using Ye Xiang's name to think you can do whatever you want?

Regardless of your motives, once you've committed a crime, you must be punished.

"Guards! Drag him out and beat him!"

Soon, the guards from the Ministry of Justice grabbed Ye Fan's arms from both sides.

But the next second, Ye Fan's internal energy erupted, directly repelling the guards.

"Ye Fan, what do you want to do!"

Upon seeing this, Ding Ye and Yuan Daimao couldn't help but feel a sense of panic.

Ye Fan's face twitched violently: "Are you deliberately trying to embarrass me? Hit me, Ye Fan! You're welcome to try!"

The next moment, the aura of a peak innate master was unleashed.

"I originally wanted to work peacefully with you, but it seems you yourselves are unwilling to let me have a safe place. Since you won't drink the toast, then drink the penalty."

As soon as he finished speaking, his aura exploded, directly causing the entire main hall of the Ministry of Justice to collapse...

"Drag him away and execute him!"

However, the next second, Ding Ye's deep shout pulled Ye Fan back from his reverie.

Ye Fan was dragged away, gritting his teeth.

Fortunately, he held back, because there were more than a dozen submachine guns outside the hall that were aimed at him, enough to kill a martial artist.

Once he does it, he will certainly not be able to get away unscathed.

"I will remember this humiliation of today, and I will repay you tenfold in the future!"

Feeling the paddle hitting him with a satisfying thud, Ye Fan was seething with rage.

At that moment, the system's voice rang in my mind.

"Ding, host has been detected to have lost face, resulting in a loss of 200 Luck Points..."
