Exposed the truth, a group of rebellious officials

This is the immortal sect?

Ye Ning recalled his memories, but as a commoner, he didn't feel much.

However, seeing it with his own eyes now was an exciting experience for him.

No matter who looked at, they would be intimidated by the presence of this immortal.

The offcials respectfully bowed, the emperor respectfully greeted. How powerful is the immortal's aura?

However, if changing the perspective and become the emperor himself, there will be an endlessly shame.

Ye Ning was too lazy to think about how the emperor was feeling, as it had nothing to do with him.

When he becomes the Heavenly Emperor, he will surely have a more commanding presence than this immortal of Ascension Sect.

In the narrow eyes of the immortal of Ascension Sect, there was a hint of contempt.

He deliberately didn't pay attention, appearing lazy, wanting to make the emperor bow once more.

He had cultivated for many years and had only broken through to the realm of immortal three years ago. Today was the first time he had left the sect.

"Is this the emperor of the Great Zhou?"

He sneered lazily.

Ten thousand years ago, the Great Zhou Ancestor was so powerful that he swept away all the beasts, demons, and suppressed the immortal gates, creating a glorious dynasty.

How could he have imagined that ten thousand years later, his successor would be humbled at the feet of immortal sect?

Those who could witness today's scene were all experienced people, how could they not hear the sarcasm in his words?

However, no one came forward to defend the emperor.

They all lowered their eyes as if they had heard nothing.

The Great Zhou emperor remained respectful and obedient, seemingly unaware of anything unusual. Seeing this, Ye Ning felt like finding a way to die.

But after thinking it over, he restrained himself.

"The play has just begun, it would be a little regretful to die immediately. If I want to die, I must die gloriously!"

In his mind, there were only terrible thoughts.

Some deaths were as light as a feather, while others were as heavy as mountain.

Regardless, he had to die, and he had to choose the most glorious way to die. At this moment, the time was not ripe yet, so he had to wait a little longer!

"Your Majesty, you don't have to be so formal."

He Yuanyi intentionally waited for a moment before speaking.

"The immortal of Ascension Sect, I cannot afford to lose the level of etiquette."

Ji Mingyue replied.

His voice was clear and slightly gentle, leaning towards neutrality.

"Could it be a woman?"

Ye Ning's impression of this benighted emperor was not very good, so he did not hesitate to use the biggest sarcasm to speculate.

But unexpectedly, his whispered voice shocked others.

Earlier, when the eunuch in the blue robe entered the court, he reminded him to stand quietly and wait on the side. At this moment, he spoke in a low voice.

"Lord Ye Ning, how can you casually gossip in such a solemn court? This is disrespectful to the representatives!"

Ye Ning stepped back two steps and shook his head.

"Is saying a sentence already disrespectful before the court? Then, how did those people who treated Your Majesty with disrespect before behave?"

The eunuch in the blue robe heard this and his face stiffened. Then, he continuously forced a bitter laugh.

"The dynasty has been around for ten of thousands of years. How can it stoop so low?"

Both of them were in a remote place, far from the center of the court.

Today, the atmosphere was very tense, and each person had their own thoughts, so they did not pay attention to the two insignificant characters like them.

So Ye Ning had nothing to worry about and took the initiative to start a conversation.

"May I ask what your name is?"

The eunuch in blue robe looked around for a while and no one seemed to be paying attention to them. He was filled with the desire to confide in someone about his inner anguish, so he spoke up.

"My name is Liu Jin" he replied in a low voice.

Ye Ning furrowed his eyebrows.

"Liu Jin? That's a nice name!"

"This name was given to me by my grandfather who was also a eunuch in the imperial palace and worked at the Eunuch Department."

Liu Jin recounted his story.

As it turned out, he came from a long line of eunuchs

Eunuchs were not capable of procreation, so some old eunuchs would choose a young eunuch as their successor and take care of them. When they passed away, someone would be there to take care of them after they died.

The eunuchs spent their entire lives in the imperial palace and had their brains washed at a young age, so their thoughts were always centered around being loyal to the dynasty. These beliefs were passed down to Liu Jin.

Therefore, when he saw the scene of the imperial court today, he felt a deep sadness.

"How do you evaluate the people in this court?"

Ye Ning asked.

"Rebellious scum that must be eradicated!"

Liu Jin gnashed his teeth.

Ye Ning's eyes lit up. It turned out that this eunuch also had a bit of backbone.

"Why don't you go up there and angrily scold them?"

Liu Jin trembled, fearing every passing second.

"How did this happen? We still spoke quietly..."

He felt a bit ashamed, but more than that, he was terrified.

Not of others, but of Ye Ning.

Scolding the Immortal Sect and the Six Kings in anger?

If you want to die, go ahead and say it.

Ye Ning shrugged, somewhat uninterested.

He thought Liu Jin was someone similar... but no, he was a eunuch, how could he be similar?

This thought seemed much more reasonable.

Presumably, not a few court officials had this kind of thinking in their hearts, feeling resentful but not daring to say anything for fear of inviting trouble.

However, this matter seemed good for Ye Ning, as others were afraid of death, but he could make himself stand out.

Offending the Immortal Sect, even if it established authority, the Immortal of Ascension Sect would never let Ye Ning go.

The court's intrigue continued.

The play had begun, and the people in the court were all old and cunning players, and patience was something they had in abundance. First, they discussed other major issues of the dynasty, avoiding the core issue time and time again.

"Why not mention the issue of establishing a kingdom? Could it be that the Immortal Sect has given up on this idea?"

Liu Jin still had illusions, his eyes revealing hope.

"Impossible, talking about other matters is not a long-term solution. Look, that Immortal of Ascension Sect is already losing patience..."

Ye Ning sneered.

The stage was set, how could they not sing their parts?

Indeed.

Although the group of civil and military officials were discussing passionately, every soft sound from He Yuanyi immediately silenced them.

He raised his hand to stop the waving flag and his eyes revealed impatience.

"These trivial matters are not worth my attention."

He glanced at Ji Mingyue sitting on the dragon chair and continued.

"As you may already know, the Jinyang Li family has served the country for four generations, and their reputation is extremely high in the dynasty. They have done countless deeds for the benefit of the dynasty and therefore, should be awarded the title of the king!"

His words were like thunder striking in a clear sky, making everyone silent and stunned.

The truth had been exposed!

Ye Ning was curious to see how the emperor would respond.

Silence prevailed for several dozen seconds until a voice came from the dragon chair.

"What if I don't want to do it?"
