Empress, please have some self-respect. I am not your husband.

"Listening Wind Pavilion!"

Everyone's heart sank, even Yu Ningyan. She looked at the speaker and squinted, saying, "Tingfeng Tower has never had a record of killing a second-rank expert."

The man hesitated for a moment, clearly unsure, before saying, "Your Highness, since the Tingfeng Tower appeared, it has always been known that as long as you can afford the price they want, they can kill whoever the customer wants to kill."

"They have indeed never killed a second-rank expert, but Your Highness, have you forgotten? Our Northern King and the eighteen generals of Southern Qi were assassinated by Listening Wind Tower at the behest of the Crimson Flame Legion."

"Not to mention the Southern Qi, even the Northern King's Mansion is heavily guarded. Even a second-rank expert couldn't get in, right? Not to mention that Tingfeng Tower killed the Northern King when he was prepared."

Listening to the Wind Pavilion.

Known as the world's strongest assassin organization, they send a "whistleblower's note" before killing their target, informing them of the time of the killing.

Since the appearance of Tingfeng Tower, all its targets have been killed without exception!

Whether you are royalty or a commoner, once you are targeted by Tingfeng Tower, there is only one outcome: death!

Therefore, the Listening to the Wind Post is also known as the Yama Post!

Thinking of all the rumors surrounding Tingfeng Tower, Yu Ningyan hesitated, her beautiful eyes wide. Should she ask Tingfeng Tower to kill Lu Feng?

It seems like a pretty satisfying thing!

But if he really did that, then he and Lu Feng would be mortal enemies.

If that's the case, instead of asking Tingfenglou to kill Lu Feng, why not ask Tingfenglou to kill that old beast?

Since they're all second-rank officials anyway, what difference does it make who I kill?

The premise is whether you can offer a price.

After a moment of silence, Yu Ningyan shook her head: "Let's talk about this later."

"Your Highness?"

Others wanted to offer further advice, but Yu Ningyan simply said, "We'll talk about it later!"

Seeing this, the others dared not say anything more.

Meanwhile, inside the inn.

Lu Feng was writing a letter to his subordinates, informing them that he would be stationed permanently in the capital of Qian Kingdom from now on, as he had already mentioned when he came to the capital that he would return within six months at most.

Whether it's because of Qin Xinyi or the need to heal, it's not something that can be done in six months.

If we don't tell them in advance, those lawless people might turn the four countries upside down.

After writing the letter and having it delivered by the post station staff, Lu Feng rested for a while before beginning his cultivation.

The next day.

Early in the morning, someone knocked on the door. When Lu Feng opened the door, he saw an old eunuch standing outside, smiling at him.

"you are?"

The old eunuch quickly spoke up: "Lord Lu, His Highness sent me."

Hearing this, Lu Feng nodded and began to pack up.

Seeing this, the old eunuch smiled and said, "Lord Lu, you only need to pack your luggage and clothes. The Ministry of Rites vacated an official residence for you yesterday. I'm here today to take you to the official residence."

"That's really fast."

Lu Feng exclaimed in surprise, paid the inn's bill, and followed the old eunuch to the official residence.

The official residence of a fourth-rank official was not very large, but Lu Feng was quite satisfied after taking a tour.

The old eunuch then asked, "Lord Lu, should we select and arrange your servants from among the palace maids, or will you purchase them yourself from a brokerage firm?"

His Majesty had previously instructed that Lu Feng's treatment should be in accordance with that of a third-rank official, so he was very humble.

Lu Feng thought for a moment, shook his head and smiled, "No need, Father-in-law, I can go buy it myself."

"Alright then, Lord Lu, please put your luggage away and come with me to the palace. Today is your first day of court, so we can't be careless," the old eunuch hurriedly said.

After putting down his luggage and putting away the key to the official residence, Lu Feng followed him to the palace.

The palace gates were wide open and no officials could be seen, meaning they had already gone inside.

Lu Feng then followed the old eunuch into the palace and into the main hall.

Upon seeing him, many officials greeted him, and he responded to each one. Then, led by the old eunuch, he took his place.

Soon His Majesty the Emperor appeared and began the court session.

This was the first time Lu Feng had ever experienced something like this in both his lives. Listening to Empress Ye Bingyun and her ministers discuss state affairs, he found it all rather boring, much like attending classes in his previous life, and he began to feel drowsy.

Seeing this, Ye Bingyun could only curse inwardly.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Feng woke up from his slumber when he heard someone call his name.

The old eunuch didn't mention that he had slept in the court, but instead said with a smile, "Lord Lu, the court session is over, and you should go to the Court of Imperial Sacrifices now."

"Yes, sir, please lead the way."

The Imperial Household Department was located within the Imperial Palace.

Lu Feng arrived and saw his subordinates organizing books and cleaning.

The old eunuch then introduced them with a smile: "Lord Lu, they are all from the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, so they are your subordinates. Please come over here."

Hear the words.

Those who were busy with their work put down what they were doing and ran up to him, calling him "Master Steward".

The old eunuch spoke up: "This is Lord Lu Feng, who was personally appointed as the Junior Grand Master of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices by His Majesty yesterday!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression towards Lu Feng immediately became respectful, and the quick-witted ones immediately spoke up: "This humble official greets Lord Lu!"

"Greetings, Lord Lu!"

Hearing everyone's unanimous agreement, Lu Feng nodded.

The old eunuch then smiled and said, "Lord Lu, the Court of Imperial Sacrifices used to be responsible for educating the imperial children. His Majesty has no heir, so unless there are special instructions, you are usually quite free. You only need to manage these people. Is there anything else you don't understand?"

Hearing that he didn't have to do anything, Lu Feng was satisfied. "Thank you, Father-in-law. I understand."

"You're too kind, Lord Lu. I'll be taking my leave now. I work for the Imperial Household Department. If you need anything, you can come to the Imperial Household Department to find me."

"Okay, take care, father-in-law."

As soon as the eunuch left, looking at the hesitant expressions of the people in front of him, Lu Feng laughed and said, "You all do what you need to do, don't worry about me. I'll treat you after work, let's go to Baihualou."

Baihualou was the most famous brothel in the capital.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up; this new young master was quite easy to get along with.

The clever one brewed Lu Feng a cup of tea.

Holding his tea and watching others busy themselves, Lu Feng found a seat and sat down. Seeing that he had nothing to do, he told the person next to him and then circulated his inner energy to enter a meditative state.

Even now, with Ye Bingyun's blood as a medicinal ingredient, he still dared not let his guard down.

After all, the injuries were too severe; even with his Grandmaster cultivation, he could only suppress them.

Therefore, every bit of improvement in one's cultivation level provides an extra layer of protection.

He didn't know how much time had passed when he heard someone call out "Master Zhan Shi".

Just as I was about to open my eyes, I suddenly felt my body lean forward!

He immediately stopped circulating his inner energy, steadied himself, opened his eyes, turned around to look at the person behind him, and asked in a cold and sinister tone, "What are you doing?"

"What are you doing? What do you think this place is? How dare you sleep here? I'd be lenient if I kicked you!" the man shouted angrily.
