Even among Prominent Families, if they happen to obtain some top-quality Spirit Stones, they often wonāt use them for their own cultivation but will choose to offer them to the Immortal Emperor in exchange for more practical benefits.
"Iāve also received some information on this side," Wang Fugui said. "Our Group Immortal Palace has infiltrated the Wei Family, providing two pieces of rather valuable intelligence. First, within the Wei Family, there is a Mysterious Iron Mine that has been mined for a long time with a very high level of secrecy, seemingly quite mysterious. Second, our people have long since planned and captured the handle of one of the butlers, using him to copy the family expenditure accounts for recent years."
"Some of the expenditure numbers are significant, yet the purposes are rather vague. It seems thereās some secret hidden within."
"Additionally, the information Brother Wang provided is also a point of suspicion."
Wang Ningxiās spirit was also lifted, "It seems the Wei Family is indeed not as honest as it appears on the surface. Fugui, letās continue to dig deeper, we surely can uncover their secret."
"No need," Wang Fugui said with a smile. "After all, the Wei Family is a vassal of the Immortal Emperor. If we launch such an elaborate covert investigation, once exposed, it would undoubtedly damage His Majestyās reputation."
"True, since they are people of the Immortal Emperor, itās better to let the Immortal Emperor investigate," Wang Ningxi also smiled and said, "I believe His Majesty the Immortal Emperor cannot be without control over the Wei Family, which would be much more convenient than for us."
"Then letās trouble the Forty-Seventh Uncle to see the Immortal Emperor and explain the situation," Wang Fugui said with a grin.
"No, Iām not going!" Wang Ningxi immediately shook his head like a rattle drum, "I donāt want her to break my leg again, if you want to go, you go."
"Iām not going either. First, I have to accompany Mengyu, and second, as a junior, the Immortal Emperor might not take it seriously. So instead..."
Wang Fugui and Wang Ningxi exchanged a glance, immediately reaching a tacit understanding.
"Hmm, let the Old Ancestor Grandpa go, His Majesty the Immortal Emperor will surely take his words seriously."
"Right, the Old Ancestor Grandpa is too idle, Iām afraid his days are too boring, we need to let him exercise a bit. However, the Old Ancestor Grandma doesnāt get along secretly with the Immortal Emperor, Iām worried it might backfire... Hmm, Iāll find a way to contain it."
"True, we should create a little private space for the Old Ancestor Grandpa. Letās see, Iāll draft a plan."
"Ah~ we two juniors are really too filial."
...
A little later.
Immortal Emperor Palace, Rinse Moon Hall.
By twilight, the sunset had sunk below the horizon, and the brilliant twilight gradually began to dim, while the lights in Rinse Moon Hall had already been lit, illuminating the entire hall as bright as day.
Inside Rinse Moon Hall, Immortal Emperor Yun Tiange was half-leaning on a Taishi Chair behind the desk, processing various trivial matters with a bored look, her face solemn and her mood irritable, as if everyone owed her hundreds of Immortal Spirits.
Throughout the day, almost every minister who came to report was picked on and scolded harshly.
Itās no wonder. Originally, the Immortal Emperorās true self was on duty inside the Divine Martial Heavenly Ruins guarding the Spirit Remnant of the Chi Long Devil Lord, but upon hearing that the Wang family was coming to the King of the Northās Mansion to visit family, and even Wang Shouzhe would come, she forcibly threatened the Demon Emperor with martial power to substitute her on duty. Her true self then happily returned to the Immortal Emperor Palace, waiting for the Wang family to come visit.
But unexpectedly, after waiting and waiting, she didnāt see half a shadow of Wang Shouzhe, but instead heard that he was traveling and checking in with his beautiful wife at various tourist spots in the Immortal City, with no intention of coming to visit her.
She was almost infuriated to death, naturally putting her in a bad mood.
Just as the Immortal Emperor had scolded Zhao Xiqing, who came to report the matter of Wei Wu Armor, and driven her out of Rinse Moon Hall, a Divine Power Territory guard suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, the Family Head of the Wangās family in Dongqian Changning, Wang Shouzhe, is holding the [Highest Passage Order of the Celestial Emperor Palace] and seeks an audience with Your Majesty."
These near-guards were also not ordinary people. They were either important members of a major family, or simply outstanding young men from the Yun family or its branches, all selected through rigorous screening.
They follow the Immortal Emperor closely, receiving her guidance, and their future prospects are limitless.
Wang Shouzhe?
The Immortal Emperorās eyebrows raised, her anger rising: "What is that ungrateful bastard here for? Chase him out for me."
"But Your Majesty, he holds the [Immortal Order], which is equivalent to you being personally present, and I have no authority to expel him," the guard looked at the Immortal Emperor, his face turned distressed and pitiful, and said, "How about, you issue an immortal decree first to take back his Immortal Order?"
Upon hearing this, the Immortal Emperor calmed down a bit: "Did he say what he is here for? Who did he bring along?"
Originally, she had entrusted Wang Ningxi to pass on the Immortal Order to Wang Shouzhe, hoping he would come, didnāt she?
"He came alone, saying he has an urgent matter to discuss," the guard replied honestly.
Heh heh~~
The Immortal Emperorās face suddenly bloomed with a smile, as beautiful as a peony, radiant beyond compare.
It seems Wang Shouzhe has thought it through~
She immediately said: "Find a matron to lead him to the [Celestial Habitat Palace], Iāll go see him shortly."
"Celestial Habitat Palace? But..." the guardās eyes widened, "Hasnāt Your Majesty prohibited any male from approaching the Celestial Habitat Palace?"
"What, are you questioning the order of this Emperor?" The Immortal Emperorās eyes narrowed, and her gaze on the guard instantly turned unkind.
