Chapter 429 Norio (22)
Li Tian'ao looked at the carriage, seemingly lost in thought. He hesitated for a moment, then walked to his own carriage and went to the palace to attend court.
If nothing unexpected happens, Xiong Bufan will officially appear in the imperial court in a few days.
With Xiong Bufan in charge of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, the most awkward situation is for his two fellow disciples, Qingyu and Qingmu. Should they seek revenge or not? They can only try to find the Imperial Preceptor, Fahe.
When Xiong Bufan arrived at the Imperial Preceptor's residence, he occupied the largest room, collected all the valuables inside, and threw away everything that others had used.
When Fahe arrived, Xiong Bufan had already thrown out all his belongings.
Xiong Bufan sat in a chair and ordered, "Throw all these things out, I think they're dirty."
Fahe sat in his wheelchair, veins bulging, "Xiong Bufan, aren't you going too far? This is my room."
"That's not the case anymore. I'm the new master of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. You should work for me."
Fahe really wanted to grab Xiong Bufan and ask her how thick-skinned she was to say such shameless things.
But now he can only sit in a wheelchair, watching over the mess on the ground. "I am your senior, you should respect the elderly and care for the young."
Upon hearing this, Xiong Bufan became even more displeased. She was much older than this foolish national advisor. She stood up, walked over, and kicked over the wheelchair.
Fahe collapsed to the ground convulsing, most likely because he was angry.
The young Taoist priest, despite his injuries, helped Fahe up. "Master, are you alright?"
Xiong Bufan, standing to the side, said, "You're lucky to be born in such a good time. Back then, I had no one to take care of me, and I was still running around even with a broken leg."
After being helped up, Fahe gritted his teeth and said with suppressed anger, "I am fine. Do as the new national teacher says."
"Yes."
Xiong Bufan sat back down in her chair. A palace maid brought her some food; she was missing the pastries made by the chef at the prince's residence.
Seeing Xiong Bufan's carefree attitude, Kongkong reminded him, "Bufan, this Fahe definitely has some bad intentions. You must be careful."
"I understand, I'll be careful."
Last night, Xiong Bufan finally remembered his plan to occupy the Imperial Preceptor's residence. He sat up in bed, put on his undergarments, and went to find the Imperial Preceptor, looking as if he would kill him if the Imperial Preceptor refused.
The Imperial Advisor dared not speak out against his anger and could only agree, so Xiong Bufan came by carriage today.
Xiong Bufan was ultimately kind-hearted; he didn't kick out all the disciples of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, but instead made them pay for their lodgings and, incidentally, kept the land deeds firmly in his own hands.
The monks and Taoists had plenty of money, but Xiong Bufan's move was truly excessive. What was even more frustrating was that they couldn't beat her.
At lunchtime, after everyone had finished cleaning up, Xiong Bufan sat on the bed counting his silver coins. Sure enough, collecting rent was the fastest way to make money.
Two palace maids respectfully placed the food in Xiong Bufan's room, saying, "Please have your meal, Grand Preceptor."
Xiong Bufan looked at the food in front of her. There was only a small bowl of rice, two plates of green vegetables, a fish, a meat dish, and a bowl of soup. This was just enough for her to eat until she was about 10% full.
If you don't have enough to eat, you won't have the energy to do anything.
Xiong Bufan continued, "Go and bring me everything edible. I need to eat."
"Yes."
The palace maid withdrew again. In ancient times, servants had absolute obedience to their masters, a trait that Xiong Bufan greatly appreciated.
There was no difference between being at the Imperial Preceptor's residence and being at the Prince's residence; Xiong Bufan still ate his fill, slept, and then went to watch the excitement.
Qingyu and Qingmu kept a close eye on Xiong Bufan all day long. Their master said that as long as they found this man's weakness, they could drive him out of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
A month passed in the blink of an eye. Xiong Bufan put on the court robes belonging to the Imperial Preceptor and, together with the recovered Fahe, went to see the Emperor.
The emperor of this world cannot be killed because he is a wise ruler. Xiong Bufan has met several emperors before and is not flustered.
The emperor had known all along that Xiong Bufan had occupied the Imperial Preceptor's residence, but the Imperial Preceptor hadn't reported it, and Xiong Bufan hadn't caused any trouble, so it had just been left there. Xiong Bufan would eventually have to meet with the emperor.
Xiong Bufan stared intently at the emperor sitting in the main seat. Like all emperors, he possessed an imposing aura, and the deep wrinkles on his face proved that he was also slowly aging. It was impossible for an emperor to achieve immortality.
The emperor was lenient towards the people of the Imperial Preceptor's office, so he did not punish Xiong Bufan for his serious disrespect.
"You are the newly appointed Imperial Advisor? National affairs are not matters of personal feelings."
There are no women serving as imperial advisors. The women standing here now are mostly Fahe's confidantes, who are somewhat capable but not many. The emperor does not take Xiong Bufan seriously at this moment.
Xiong Bufan sensed the emperor's disdain and instead of answering the emperor's question directly, he asked, "Do you think I'm a god or a man?"
This is very much like a weasel in the common people asking for a title. The emperor said unhappily, "You must first prove your strength to me."
Xiong Bufan tilted his head to look at the emperor, "I know a lot, what do you want me to do?"
"Such arrogance!" The emperor looked directly at Xiong Bufan and said, "Let's start with the simplest method."
"Row."
Fahe also hoped that Xiong Bufan could demonstrate his abilities, since the more one understands the enemy, the more likely one is to defeat her.
Xiong Bufan actually wanted to slap the emperor, because that was what she was best at. It would also attract heavenly lightning, which she could withstand, and she could put on a big show in front of everyone.
Kongkong: "Bufan, why don't you fly around once?"
"It's wrong to attack the emperor."
"it is good."
Xiong Bufan stood still and began to control his spiritual power, slowly floating upwards until he stopped on the roof.
This was something the Imperial Advisor had never used before. The Emperor's eyes widened, and he stepped down from his throne to ask, "Can you fly?"
“Sure.” With that, Xiong Bufan flew out of the Imperial Study and even circled around in the sky.
The emperor, accompanied by Fahe, came out to watch Xiong Bufan fly freely in the sky, as if she belonged to the sky herself.
It would be a lie to say that Fahe wasn't envious. He had cultivated for so long, but he had only scratched the surface and could see through ghosts and possession.
Xiong Bufan landed only after exhausting his spiritual energy and said to the emperor, "Do you think I'm a god or a man?"
"Can you concoct an elixir of immortality?"
The emperor refused to answer Xiong Bufan's question and instead kept changing the subject.
Xiong Bufan said in a serious tone: "Everything has its own operating rules, and forcibly achieving immortality will cause some disasters."
This could endanger your people; do you still desire immortality?
Whenever he said he wanted to, Xiong Bufan would slap him and then use him to block the heavenly lightning.
An emperor who doesn't respect his subjects is not a good emperor; sooner or later, he will become a tyrant.
The emperor looked at Xiong Bufan and said, "I will consider it. I hereby appoint you as the new Grand Preceptor."
Xiong Bufan: "I was originally the Imperial Advisor."
When Fahe heard about immortality, he was tempted. He cultivated Taoism for the purpose of immortality, so that he could protect all living beings and ascend to heaven as soon as possible.
