Huangfu Yi was furious,

"What did I rob? What did I rob!"

Pei Yuhuan sneered coldly,

"Don't you understand yet? What your family has taken is the virtuous reputation of the clan, the hearts of the people under heaven, and the fate of the Immortal Palace.

Remember, all the people of this world are herds under the feet of the Emperor, they are the property of the Immortal Palace.

Most commoners are dull and mediocre, they don't need to be taught right from wrong, they only need to know that the Immortal Venerable is the hero saving the world, the good person protecting all living beings, and then they will obediently and dutifully follow the management of the Immortal Palace, heed the arrangements of the court, and maintain the order of the world like cattle and horses.

Therefore, those of us from powerful Gate Valve families must be selfish and harmful bastards, only then can the brightness of the Ziwei Yuan, the virtue of the clan, and the benevolence of the Emperor shine through. Only by making them look like good people, virtuous and holy people, can we not shake the foundation of this world, avoiding giving the people of the world a second thought.

So why is your Huangfu family so enthusiastic about saving the world and protecting the state? What are you doing? Is this your dynasty that you are messing around with? What do you want to do?"

Huangfu Yi was momentarily speechless.

Pei Yuhuan shook his head,

"Of course, it is clear to everyone that your family elder likely doesn't have such an intention, merely single-minded, moved by his own emotions, and not adept at maneuvering.

Heh, but after being an official for so many years, doesn't he know that the one group that can't be offended in this world is the eunuchs? Those eunuchs can isolate themselves from outside; only they are closest to the Immortal Emperor. They alone are the Immortal Emperor's relatives.

Whatever they utter, they are just voicing the heart's content of the Immortal Emperor."

Huangfu Yi was shocked,

"Are you really only eight years old?"

Pei Yuhuan replied proudly,

"Of course, but my father bought me three Spirit Pills to open wisdom, each one granting ten years of intelligence. Now, I've read the Four Books and Five Classics and various Daoist Collections by heart; at home, I have to transcribe a hundred pages of books before I can sleep.

But there's no other way, the competition in the harem is just that intense. Even a fool who can't read a single character would be played to death. If you're interested, I can tell you some palace intrigue tips too, as a way to review the past and learn the new."

"..."

"Arf arf arf!"

Suddenly, a dog began barking.

Huangfu Yi had to pause the extracurricular study of the noble family's sons, following the sound, he looked and saw the yellow dog behind him suddenly leap over the heads of the two people and charged towards the front bush barking fiercely.

Huangfu Yi reacted, fixed his gaze, and saw a scorpion suddenly emerge from the bush, as big as a dog, with a black back and red pincers, an iron tail with a hook as if a single stab would almost certainly be fatal.

Since the child's Soldier Disintegration, the remaining yellow dog had been following from afar, Huangfu Yi hadn't paid much attention to it, unexpectedly it turned out to be his savior.

Moreover, the creature, after being discovered, did not escape but aggressively approached, the hook aiming straight at Huangfu Yi's head, undisclosed what ailment was prevalent...

Pei Yuhuan analyzed,

"Probably it's guarding that ginseng."

"... Scorpions also eat ginseng??"

"Mutually nurturing each other, perhaps they're in Dual Cultivation."

Scorpions can actually dual cultivate with ginseng... The Cultivation World is truly mystical...

Huangfu Yi just considered that he hadn't seen much, shook the Sky Soaring Treasure Sword, carefully guarding against the poisonous hook, and faced off against the scorpion.

"Arf arf arf!"

Who knew as Huangfu Yi was about to gather his sword energy, and strike down this demon, the dog started barking violently again.

Then, suddenly, four more scorpions crawled out one after another from the surroundings, surrounding them completely!

"This, how can there be so many, and they're poisonous, right..."

This time, Huangfu Yi was also sweating profusely. One monster was manageable, two barely within reach, but now five scorpion monsters appeared, if even one poisonous hook struck, it would likely be fatal.

Pei Yuhuan quickly shrank into the basket, covered the lid, and offered random advice,

"Quick, use the flying sword!"

"I don't know how to sword fly!"

"Didn't you wave your hand and it came back before? Throw it out and summon it back again!"

Seems to make some sense...

Huangfu Yi then raised the Sky Soaring Treasure Sword and threw it with force like a javelin,

"Look, treasure sword!"

"Swish!"

The sword light leaped, and the Sky Soaring Treasure Sword was hurled into the bushes.

The dog glanced at him sideways.

"Uh, this sword seems a bit light..."

"Arf!"

But there was no time to explain! Seeing him lose his weapon, five scorpion monsters attacked together, closing in on the two people and the dog!

"Ascend!"

"Swipe!"

The sword light flashed, and the flying sword flew back, slicing the first scorpion monster in half! Landing steadily back in Huangfu Yi's hand!

"Fiery Fire!"

And Huangfu Yi was clearly ready for this, changing position while securing his back, using his left hand for the sword technique. Sword energy gushed from the Shangyang acupoint, sweeping a circle of Sword Wind, pushing aside the stabbing poisonous hooks!

"Demon Slayer!"

He struck with the treasure sword in his right hand, the sword light swooped down like a white ribbon, cutting both hook and head. The left scorpion monster was cut into four pieces! He inverted the Sword Flower, dodging the pinching claw, and the Yao Guang Sword Light flipped, piercing the right scorpion monster, shredding it into pieces, killing two monsters instantly!

"Arf arf!"

Meanwhile, the yellow dog spat a bead, launching a Thunder Fire Ball, which crashed down with a "boom," leaving a large pit, reducing one scorpion monster to black, crisp charcoal, no remains left. It leaped nimbly, evading the last scorpion monster's stab.

"Hit!"

"Arf~~"

Huangfu Yi flung another sword, chopping off the scorpion's tail, it flew close to the dog's head, scaring it terribly.

Only then did the scorpion monster realize four of its kind had been slain in the first round, and tried to escape, but it was too late. Immediately, Huangfu Yi sprang, unleashed Sixteen Strength, and stomped it into a meat paste.
