His Majesty is plotting a rebellion? Quickly, summon the Imperial Advisor!

As the sky begins to lighten.

Xu Bing got up early for his morning exercise, still running around Jingxin Villa to warm up.

After one lap, he was covered in sweat; he ran five laps in a row.

After warming up, rest for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

He changed the shape of the Qian Yuan Circle, using weight-bearing movements to quickly deplete his physical strength.

After the entire treatment was completed, an ordinary person would be exhausted, but Xu's illness continued.

He began practicing martial arts, repeatedly mastering the Nine-Sound Fist. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, and he could deliver nine consecutive sounds with a single punch, which was quite astonishing.

Martial arts naturally progressed to the Innate Realm, where the focus shifted from external to internal. When mobilizing the body's Qi and blood, it transformed into a mysterious and profound power.

He tried the Nine-Shot Fist again.

The nine strikes he delivered became increasingly solid, like thunder and tiger roars. He punched a tree, and the tree cracked in response, its interior being pulverized by the domineering force.

"call!"

evening.

Sunset West Mountain.

Xu Bing felt his body was becoming increasingly stronger, so he opened his attribute panel to check.

[Host: Xu Bing]

[Identity: Imperial Advisor (Danger)]

[Cultivation Level: Peak of the Lantern-Carrying Realm]

[Martial Arts: Innate Level Three]

Lifespan: Unlimited within the territory.

[Prestige Value: 10]

[Charm: 99]

His prestige dropped by a full three points.

This is not a good thing.

Xu Bing rubbed his chin, wondering if someone in the court was speaking ill of him.

His prestige was already extremely low, and almost anyone could step on him.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be much room for further decline.

Xu Bing dismissed these distracting thoughts.

After washing up at Jingxuantang, he stood in front of the bronze mirror again a few days later.

It must be said that not only his appearance, but also his inner qualities, demeanor, cultivation, and even his spirit have undergone a complete transformation.

The person in the mirror is tall and energetic, resembling both a dragon and a tiger.

Moreover, it gives people a clean and refreshing feeling with a touch of wickedness.

Her eyes are very beautiful.

"If someone saw me like this, it would be terrible."

Xu Bing was thinking about this problem very seriously.

……

A half-moon hangs in the sky.

Once tonight is over.

Tomorrow morning, the Imperial Guards will go up the mountain to greet the Emperor.

Ji Yuan had been holding on for several days... and hope was just around the corner.

"Senior sister, what if someone sees me like this?" Zhou Xiaoyou said with some worry.

Although her clothes were somewhat disheveled, they weren't exactly naked; it was just that her posture was really annoying, and her sitting posture was far from ladylike.

"Kill him," Ji Yuan said calmly.

"Huh?" Zhou Xiaoyou suddenly panicked. "They came to rescue us, wouldn't it be a bad idea to kill them?"

"What? What's wrong with that?" Ji Yuan said calmly, "Such a shameful matter, are you going to let it spread? I am the ruler of a country. If my reputation is damaged, how can I govern the country? How can the court accept it?"

"I will bestow benefits upon them and treat their descendants well."

Zhou Xiaoyou's expression was somewhat unnatural.

For the first time, I experienced the cold-bloodedness of an emperor.

Ji Yuan also realized that this side of her had frightened Zhou Xiaoyou, and her expression softened a little. "Of course, I won't kill indiscriminately. They will prepare a carriage in advance for us to go up the mountain tomorrow. Not many people will see me like this, but... the scandals in this manor must be completely covered up."

“If it’s someone like Shang Shoucheng, someone I absolutely trust, I can tolerate them. But if it’s someone like those miscellaneous people, then I have no choice but to kill them.”

This was an absolute disgrace to her.

Zhou Xiaoyou remained silent. Perhaps her senior sister was right; this was a place where power was intertwined, and she had been too naive before.

Ji Yuan glanced at Zhou Xiaoyou and then said nothing more.

If you think she's a kind person, you'd be sorely mistaken.

"What about that fatso?" Zhou Xiaoyou suddenly asked.

"Him? Heh." Ji Yuan chuckled and said coldly, "If we're talking about who deserves to die the most, then it has to be him."

"However, I won't let him die a good death. I'll tear him apart!"

Ji Yuan narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at Zhou Xiaoyou. "What, you can't bear to do it now that you ate his roasted rabbit?"

Zhou Xiaoyou was startled. At this moment, she was a little afraid of Ji Yuan, who was the emperor. She said, "It's just a bit of a pity. He... his roasted rabbit was quite delicious."

The two women were talking.

Xu Bing walked in.

"Your Majesty, are you going to be so ruthless towards my own tutor? Is it really necessary?" Xu Bing said nonchalantly.

Upon hearing the voice, Ji Yuan looked over, his brows furrowing and then relaxing. He sneered, "If you release me now, I might consider whether or not to kill you."

Xu Bing shook his head and slowly walked to Ji Yuan's side.

His expression gradually turned cold.

What Zhou Xiaoyou feared about the emperor's majesty was of little consequence to Xu Bing.

Even when Xu Bing stood in front of Ji Yuan.

His tall figure was far more imposing than Ji Yuan's disheveled state.

That downward-looking posture...

The invisible dragon energy began to retreat step by step, as if it had encountered its nemesis.

Xu Bing's eyes were icy cold as he gripped Ji Yuan's neck with one hand and stared at her.

Ji Yuan could neither struggle nor dodge, but her gaze remained unwavering.

"listen."

"You won't get out."

Didn't you ask me about my purpose?

"I'll tell you today, I have only one goal: to make Da Xi better. I don't care who the monarch is or who the subject is."

At this point, Xu Bing released his grip, and Ji Yuan choked on his breath.

Xu Bing's gaze and words just now gave her a strange sense of oppression.

It's like she's become a completely different person.

No trace of the past can be found.

She said coldly, "Heh, you'd better get through this first."

"Commander of the Imperial Guard, a master of the eighth level of the Profound Realm; Left Wing Guard of the Imperial Guard, a master of the seventh level of the Profound Realm; Right Wing Guard of the Imperial Guard, a master of the seventh level of the Profound Realm."

"Even with hundreds of elite soldiers in full armor and thousands of followers, how can you possibly withstand them all by yourself?"

"Don't even mention that you can fly. Without a mythical beast like the crane, even if you could fly, you would be discovered and shot down by my Great Xi's bow and arrow."

Ji Yuan said this.

She didn't know what other tricks Xu Bing had up his sleeve, but she had absolute confidence in her Imperial Guard.

Upon hearing this, Xu Bing did not respond, but slowly turned his gaze to Zhou Xiaoyou beside him.

A way to break the impasse.

It's on her.

"Xiao You, are you an immortal?" Xu Bing suddenly asked with a friendly smile.

"Huh? Yes...yes, what's wrong?" Zhou Xiaoyou was a little confused.

How did the fire end up on me again?

"You probably don't want your senior sister to die, do you?" Xu Bing coaxed patiently.

Zhou Xiaoyou replied, "Of course."

“Very good.” Xu Bing smiled and said, “As you know, I have nowhere to go. If the Imperial Guards come up, I will surely die. So… I need your help.”

"I need you to help me pretend to be your senior sister. Although you are a bit thin, your height is not much different. As long as you change your appearance a little, it shouldn't be a big problem."

As soon as he finished speaking...

The two women's pupils contracted simultaneously, and they both looked at Xu Bing.

Zhou Xiaoyou shook his head like a rattle-drum, on the verge of tears, "No, big brother, please let me go. If I use immortal magic to interfere in the court, not only will I die, but Penglai Immortal Mountain will also be in big trouble... Waaah."

“But…” Xu Bing said, “If you disagree, I will kill Ji Yuan because of you. Isn’t that the same thing? You will die anyway, and you won’t be able to escape from Penglai Immortal Mountain either.”

Xu Bing was like a devil, throwing out one bait after another, "but if you listen to me, the result will be completely different."

“I am the Grand Preceptor of the Great Xi Kingdom. The dragon's aura cannot harm me. If you do things for me, the consequences will not fall on your head.”

"Moreover, I do not need you to use any magic throughout the process, so you are participating in this matter as a mortal, which does not break the order between immortals and mortals."

"You're lying! You fatso, you're not that powerful, and you call yourself the Imperial Advisor?" Zhou Xiaoyou didn't believe it.

"A lie?" Xu Bing wanted to prove that his position as the Imperial Preceptor was genuine and that he had a certain degree of influence within the Da Xi Kingdom.

With a flick of his hand, the dragon energy on Ji Yuan's body was instantly suppressed, and with another lift of his hand, the dragon energy surged once more.

It was as if he had truly and effortlessly controlled the dragon's energy.

Both women were startled.

Ji Yuan's pupils dilated violently.

Xu Bing said, "I am the Imperial Advisor. If I pardon you, you can naturally escape this entanglement. Have you thought it through? If you disagree, the king will die because of you, and the Great Xi Dynasty will perish because of you. Do you dare to bear such consequences?"

"Your actions are not only for your sister Ji Yuan, but also for the sake of all living beings, Xiao You!"

"In short, if you agree, you live, Ji Yuan lives, and the people live; if you disagree, you die, and Ji Yuan dies."
