Chapter 719: This scapegoat is definitely being carried! (Please subscribe, please monthly)

Ivan and Romanov's actions were extremely fast. In order to force the "Wizard Ancestor" to submit, they not only quickly issued an edict of ennoblement in the name of the Imperial Council and the Imperial Family.

They even used every channel to spread the news that the "Wizard Ancestor had been enfeoffed in the dangerous southern lands" until the whole country knew, attempting to kidnap this reclusive "Guardian Deity" with public opinion and prestige.

When the news reached a certain fief of Da Luo, Xie Xie Ergai learned of it immediately. His heart tightened instantly, and he secretly exclaimed: "These two old foxes, what truly vicious methods! This is to put Master on the fire to roast!"

He seemed to already see how, if Master refused to go, the tide of public opinion—turning from expectation to disappointment and then to disdain—would surge.

He was anxious, but then he thought, what kind of person is Master Li Chen?

His wisdom is like an abyss or the sea, calculating everything; how could he not see through this shallow overt scheme?

This is like two peerless experts playing chess; since the opponent has already made their move, Master will definitely have a countermeasure, and it will surely be a counterattack perfect to the peak.

Thinking of this, Xie Xie Ergai's agitated mood calmed down quite a bit, turning instead to full expectation. He restrained his temper, preparing to watch quietly how Master would break this seemingly unsolvable situation.

However, at this very moment, the "Master" Li Chen, in whom Xie Xie Ergai placed high hopes, was not strategizing in the Shenggong.

Instead, he was in the inner chamber of the Shufsky family, which was filled with an ambiguous fragrance, galloping and enjoying himself in the tender embrace of the mature beauty, Valentina.

When Lyudmila and Olga, the two confidantes who knew Li Chen's true identity (Wizard Ancestor), hurriedly brought this news, their faces both carried undisguised worry.

Lyudmila's beautiful brows were tightly furrowed, her tone urgent: "Master, Ivan and Romanov have enfeoffed those war-torn lands in the south to you. This is forcing you to go there in the identity of the 'Wizard Ancestor'! It is a mess there now, and the refugees are all coming from there. It is full of danger; they definitely have no good intentions!"

Olga also chimed in: "That's right, Master. This is clearly a trap, wanting you to face the military edge of the May Tian Ce Army directly!"

Li Chen, who was leaning lazily, listened to this unbelievable news. First, he was stunned, then the corners of his mouth couldn't help but lift upward, and finally, he actually laughed out loud, laughing more happily the more he did: "Ah? Giving me land? There is such a good thing? Hahahaha, truly, just as I was getting sleepy, someone brought a pillow. Wonderful, wonderful! Since they are sincerely sending it, this seat will reluctantly accept it with a smile!"

He stood up immediately. There wasn't a trace of worry on his face; instead, it was full of playfulness and joy.

Although Lyudmila and Olga didn't understand why, they felt that if the Wizard Ancestor did this, he must have a way, so there was no need for them to worry.

He first used the communication mobile phone he had developed to quickly transmit this "good news" along with his plan to the front-line Grand General Han Wu.

When Han Wu received the news, he was stunned for a moment, then he also reacted. A look of being unable to laugh or cry, yet understanding, appeared on his face. He immediately replied, expressing that he understood, and the entire May Tian Ce Army would definitely cooperate fully with the Wizard Ancestor's "performance."

How could Han Wu not know that the Da Luo Dynasty was giving this away for nothing this time? But the performance still had to be performed.

After having his fill of fun, Li Chen then leisurely returned to the Holy Capital, preparing to head south in the name of the "Wizard Ancestor" to "receive" his new territory in a grand and spectacular manner.

However, before leaving, he didn't forget to deliberately add some trouble for Ivan.

He blatantly used the excuse of "needing the Yin-soft Qi to harmonize for His Majesty's blessings," gathering a group of top-tier beautiful concubines from the Shenggong into his own palace.

Day and night, they drank and made merry, playing all sorts of absurd and unbridled games. The sounds of string and wind instruments, laughter, and noise were endless, continuing for several days before he "still unsatisfied" prepared to set off.

This move, naturally, reached Ivan's ears without a single word missing. ===== CHAPTER 720 =====
