Chapter 288

Since she knows it's Li Chen, there's no need for Mu Qingrou to take the stage.

But she has already arrived nearby, and it wouldn't be good not to take the stage, so she walked onto the arena, cleared her throat, and said loudly: "Everyone, if there are no objections, this young man named Cheng Li is the champion of this ranking, and the next people can compete for the runner-up."

Once these words were spoken, the whole arena immediately echoed in agreement.

No one really dared to fight Li Chen; wherever Li Chen appeared and participated in a competition, others were just there to compete for second place.

Li Chen's strength has already made everyone unreachable; who would dare to go up and bring humiliation upon themselves?

After today's competition ended, Mu Qingrou also came to the Purple Cloud Pavilion, the station of the Purple Cloud Immortal Mansion in Qizhou City.

As soon as she entered the door, Liu Tang knelt on the ground, lowered her head, and said with a trembling voice: "Master, this disciple knows she was wrong, please forgive me."

Mu Qingrou didn't buy it, her eyebrows furrowed, and she said angrily: "You are really making a scene by doing this! His Majesty Li Chen is busy with official business and came here to inspect, and you actually let him take the stage to climb the rankings? It's simply making a scene!"

Her voice was cold, carrying an unquestionable majesty.

Liu Tang knelt on the ground, her head lowered even deeper, not even daring to breathe loudly.

The female disciples and female elders nearby also shrank their heads, fearing being scolded by her.

In the Purple Cloud Immortal Mansion, Mu Qingrou is the Mansion Master whose word is law, and no one dares to challenge her majesty.

Mu Qingrou became angrier the more she spoke; not only Liu Tang, but even Le Li nearby didn't escape, and also knelt on the ground trembling.

Elder Shi Yingying didn't dare to answer a word; she knew how terrifying Mu Qingrou could be when she was angry.

Seeing that she had scolded enough, Li Chen, the only one who dared to persuade her, walked up, patted Mu Qingrou's shoulder gently, and said with a smile: "Alright, Qingrou, calm down, this is also part of the inspection, it's no big deal."

Seeing Li Chen speak, the anger on Mu Qingrou's face eased a little.

She took a deep breath, and her tone softened: "Your Majesty, you are too indulgent with them; if they make such a scene, it won't sound good if it spreads."

As Li Chen's woman, she feels it doesn't matter if the Purple Cloud Immortal Mansion loses a little reputation, but she cannot lose His Majesty's reputation.

Li Chen smiled and said indifferently: "It's fine, I didn't lose anything anyway, and besides, climbing the rankings this time can be considered as winning glory for the Purple Cloud Immortal Mansion, there's nothing bad about it."

Seeing Li Chen say this, Mu Qingrou couldn't continue to blame them, so she just sighed and said: "Your Majesty, you are always so tolerant."

Li Chen smiled and didn't say anything more.

Anyway, the beast tide hasn't arrived yet, so just treat it as playing.

At this time, Mu Qingrou's gaze couldn't help but fall on Li Chen, a flash of curiosity and appreciation in her eyes.

She looked Li Chen up and down, and the more she looked, the more she liked it.

As a sword cultivator, this look really attracts her.

"Your Majesty, who did this look for you?" Mu Qingrou couldn't help asking, her tone carrying a bit of curiosity.

Li Chen smiled slightly and said: "Liu Tang and the others helped me do it, how is it, not bad, right?"

Mu Qingrou nodded, her eyes full of appreciation: "It's indeed not bad, it has a bit more immortal air than your usual look, and you look more like a sword immortal."

Li Chen smiled and teased: "Why, do you also like this style?"

Mu Qingrou's face flushed slightly, and she whispered: "As long as it's Your Majesty, I like any style."

Although beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Li Chen's divine appearance is right there, and any look is ridiculously handsome.

Hearing this, Li Chen's heart moved, and he reached out to gently hold Mu Qingrou's hand.

Mu Qingrou didn't break free, but a blush appeared on her face, looking particularly moving.

Liu Tang and Le Li nearby saw this and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

They knew that Mu Qingrou's anger had subsided, and there shouldn't be any more punishment next.

However, it was also the first time they saw their master have this womanly appearance; in their eyes, Mu Qingrou had always been that majestic master.

Perhaps the only one who can make their master like this is His Majesty.

Mu Qingrou glanced at them, her tone much softer: "I'll let it go this time, if you dare to make a scene again next time, see how I deal with you."

Liu Tang and Le Li nodded quickly and said in unison: "Yes, Master, this disciple knows she was wrong."

Next, Mu Qingrou let the disciples step down, came to the room, and talked to Li Chen about some issues regarding the development of the Purple Cloud Immortal Mansion.

She tentatively asked, her tone carrying a bit of caution: "Your Majesty, recently the sect has had many resources, and the disciples' cultivation progress is also very fast, I want to expand the recruitment of some disciples, I wonder if you agree?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Li Chen with some trepidation.

As Li Chen's imperial consort, she actually doesn't want to make things difficult for Li Chen.

After all, things like sect expansion have always been something emperors are relatively wary of.

Sect growth means an increase in the number of cultivators, which may pose a certain threat to imperial power.

Although Mu Qingrou is the Mansion Master of the Purple Cloud Immortal Mansion, she cares more about Li Chen's feelings.

Hearing this, Li Chen smiled slightly and nodded: "No problem, you can expand as much as you want, you can even recruit a few more."

Mu Qingrou was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Li Chen to agree so readily. She asked hesitantly: "Since ancient times, haven't emperors always hoped for fewer sects? Why are you?"

Li Chen smiled, his tone carrying a bit of confidence: "Those are other emperors, I am different, you know my ability."

Other emperors are afraid that sects will be difficult to manage if they grow, but Li Chen is not afraid.

Now no one is stronger than me, no matter how big the sect is, it can't escape his palm.

Now, it's too simple for him to destroy any sect.

As for being afraid that future monarchs won't be as strong? What to do if they are difficult to manage?

Li Chen didn't care even more, and indicated: I will live forever, won't I!

Since he knows the way to increase lifespan, what is there to be afraid of?

That Mu Qingrou can consider for him shows that in Mu Qingrou's heart, Li Chen's weight is very heavy.

Li Chen simply told her about the World-Suppressing Copper Coffin and the Myriad Clans; anyway, it's just the two of them here.

Hearing this news, Mu Qingrou felt like a bombshell, her heart and eyes constantly changing.

Lifespan increase? Breakthrough to the Sage Realm? Fighting the Myriad Clans of the heavens?

The temptation of these to a Sage Realm expert can be imagined.

Who would be willing to be a dog for the Immortal Clan if they could be above the Myriad Clans?

The Immortal Clan coerces the Human Clan, isn't it because the Human Clan's lifespan is not enough, and the Immortal Clan knows the way to eternal life.

Seeing Mu Qingrou still stunned, Li Chen smiled and patted her hand, saying: "So, you can expand as much as you want, don't have too many concerns; sect growth is also a good thing for the May Tian Ce Dynasty."

Plane ascension is not an ordinary plan; Li Chen needs the entire plane's Human Clan to be improved.

Hearing this, Mu Qingrou immediately understood Li Chen's intention.

No wonder His Majesty has been vigorously developing resources and fighting in all directions recently; it's all to prepare for the future.

She nodded and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will definitely develop the Purple Cloud Immortal Mansion well and contribute to the future of the May Tian Ce Dynasty."

Just like that, another Sage Realm expert joined the Myriad Clans dungeon.

Li Chen felt that they were much more active than himself.
