Zhizhou: \"You're An Official, But You're Raising A Bunch Of Demonesses?

Chapter 40 Your Majesty... Are you afraid?

Silence all the way,

When Bai Yu was brought into the palace, it was already late at night.

Lanterns were hanging in the palace,

The path was neither bright nor dim,

Dressed in green, the trusted guard led him to a finely decorated palace.

"Your Majesty, Bai Yu has arrived."

The guard in green gently knocked on the door and reported in a deep voice.

"I am aware, you may leave."

The guard in green nodded slightly, his figure flashed, and instantly disappeared from the spot.

Leaving Bai Yu alone, standing in place.

He raised his head and looked into the palace room, which was neither big nor small, somewhat dim.

At the end of the room,

Candlelight flickered,

A dignified figure sat quietly there.

He didn't turn around, just looking at his back,

One could feel an indescribable aura of power.

As if there were faint sounds of dragons and tigers roaring in the ears,

Making one involuntarily want to kneel and pay respect.

Having sat on the throne for a long time, possessing the country, commanding the heroes,

Naturally, one can cultivate an imposing and majestic aura.

The current Emperor of Qianyuan, Your Majesty, Lansu!

Bai Yu has known this person for a long time.

Being an official, can you not imagine what the top leader is like?

"You've come?"

"Come in."

Lansu said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Bai Yu smiled calmly, showing no fear of the imposing aura emanating from the other person, which was enough to intimidate commoners.

With a slight nod, he confidently walked into the door.

As he walked into the illuminated area,

He did not kneel,

Just slightly bowed and clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, saying, "This humble subject, Bai Yu, pays respects to Your Majesty."

The emperor, who had his back turned to him, finally turned around slowly.

He was dressed in a dragon robe,

The flickering candlelight reflected half of his face, half in brightness, half hidden in darkness.

With a majestic appearance, he looked down at the young and overly confident scholar before him.

He said lightly, "You have come?"

This scholar!

Young and handsome,

More importantly, his temperament.

Confident and proud, carefree and casual.

In such turbulent times, standing before the most powerful ruler of the current dynasty, he still maintained such elegance.

Truly rare in the world.

What an outstanding young man, a talented genius!

Lan Su was already forty-five years old, having held a high position for over twenty years,

He had seen many people, naturally possessing a realm and wisdom far beyond ordinary people.

Even before speaking, just by observing his appearance, Lan Su could already sense the extraordinary nature of this young man.

"You don't seem surprised that We have summoned you?"

While Lan Su observed Bai Yu, he asked him.

Seeing that the emperor did not show respect or kneel, it was a disregard for royal authority.

However,

Bai Yu also performed a solemn greeting to him.

Lansu did not feel offended.

Geniuses are accustomed to being proud,

But Lansu still has some tolerance.

"If Your Majesty did not read the exam papers, it's fine!"

"If Your Majesty read my exam paper, he would definitely want to see me."

"If not, then Your Majesty is not qualified to be my king."

Bai Yu faced the scrutiny of the emperor,

The pressure from the emperor.

But he stood proudly in place, without any fear in his gaze.

His words were bold and presumptuous.

"Hmph!"

"Not bad, kid, take a seat!"

Lansu snorted lightly.

Bai Yu's words sounded arrogant.

But in reality, Lansu secretly appreciated him.

Lansu was quite pleased and pointed to a seat in front of him, saying in a deep voice,

"Yes!"

Bai Yu sat down as instructed.

"The words you wrote in your exam paper, are they all your own thoughts?"

"Or were they taught to you by someone else?"

Lansu lightly tapped the table with his fingers and asked Bai Yu.

Bai Yu shook his head and replied, "Bai Yu has no mentor. Every word and sentence is my own thought."

He didn't need to fabricate a mysterious and unfathomable master to intimidate the old emperor.

Excessive is unnecessary, it's enough to have a grasp at just the right level.

Long Jiejie is enough to protect him, that's sufficient.

"Really?"

"Bai Yu never lies."

Lansu: ...

Although the statement "Bai Yu never lies" is a bit exaggerated.

But Lanzhou still believed it.

He could only choose to believe.

In his heart, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Having someone like Bai Yu, a talented individual, was already terrifying, and he needed to handle it with caution.

Fortunately, he appeared in front of him.

If there was another person with profound and unpredictable thoughts, who couldn't be controlled, wandering among the people, then the situation would be completely out of control.

"Do you know what you wrote?"

Lanzhou's voice gradually became low.

His gaze was intense, and Wang Wei couldn't contain himself and released it.

Looking at Bai Yu, it was as if he was looking at a prisoner about to be judged.

"Bai Yu, answer the questions and know what you wrote."

He may be strong, but the wind blows gently on the mountain.

Bai Yu was not intimidated by Wang Wei, but responded calmly and confidently.

"Deceiving the public with false words, it's all nonsense!"

"Do you know that you are disturbing the people's hearts and causing chaos in the norms?!"

And at this moment,

Lanzhou's voice suddenly raised a few notches.

His dragon-like eyes stared at Bai Yu, who had been nurtured by Wang Wei's power for twenty years, and now he was pressing down on Bai Yu without any scruples.

Ordinary people facing such an emperor should be scared to the point of peeing their pants, crawling on the ground, begging for forgiveness and mercy.

Just like Yang Shancheng and his group not long ago.

However, Bai Yu didn't care at all.

He just sat in the darkness, his deep eyes fearless as he stared at Lanzhou.

Lightly, a sinister smile appeared on his face.

Sharp white teeth, inexplicably, made people shudder.

A faint whisper echoed in the silent palace.

"Your Majesty...are you afraid?"
