it. Killing this old man wouldn't make much sense. He was still a human life after all, and maybe he would be useful in the future."Well then, I shall claim you as my slave."Ye Bufan said, his heart...Everyone present was stunned. They followed the sound of crying and saw a girl walking out behind Ye Bufan. Each one of them was crying with tears streaming down their faces, heartbroken.

The most shocking thing was Li Daran. Just a moment ago, everyone was fine, how could he be crying so sadly now What happened

Especially his granddaughter, Li Qingzhu, was exceptionally stubborn from a young age. Since she became aware, she had never been seen to cry.

He even doubted that after a hundred years, this granddaughter would shed a few tears for him.

But the scene before his eyes completely overturned his perception. Li Qingzhu was also shedding bitter tears like rain. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have dared to believe that this was his granddaughter.

Ye Bufan turned his head to look at the four girls, a barely perceptible smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

All of this, of course, was orchestrated by him. However, the individuals involved displayed vastly different reactions.

Hu Yaya looked utterly heartbroken, crying the most pitifully out of the four girls. However, she wasn't feeling any sadness at all inside. The reason she put on this show was purely for amusement.

The remaining three, Lu Xue Man, Li Qing Zhu and Chu Ling Xi, were completely different. Normally, they wouldn't have this acting ability, nor would they be able to cry.

Ye Bufan had just whispered to them, saying that he really couldn't cry. He just thought about himself being wrongly accused and that because of this, everyone would be disqualified from the competition and expelled from the Imperial City of Daxing.

It seems to be working very well now, and the three girls are equally heartbroken.

Of course, the effect of his guidance also varies from person to person. Take Nalan Yujia for example, her personality makes it hard to say if this was helpful at all. She simply couldn't cry and instead stood beside him with a furious expression on her face.

But it's fine without her, four girls crying already was enough.

...However, other people didn't know about this, especially Zheng Long and Zheng Wei, the three of them. They had originally hoped that the Four Elders would take action to accuse them....

I didn't expect to see such a scene as soon as I walked in, completely clueless about what was going on.

Zhang He asked: "What's wrong with you guys Just tell me if you have any grievances."

"As long as it's reasonable, I, the manager, will make the decision for you."

"Master, it was him, it was him, it was he who tried to assault me..."

Hu Yaya led the cry, sobbing as she pointed at Zheng Yihen beside her. Her expression was a mixture of grievance, anger, and fear, so realistic it was almost unbelievable.

Besides being naturally beautiful and alluring, she possessed a charm that evoked pity in anyone who beheld her.

Ye Bufan secretly gave the woman a thumbs up in his heart. This woman's acting was truly superb. If she took it to Earth, she would definitely owe her an Oscar statuette.

Zheng Yiheng was completely dumbfounded, what was going on

He got beaten up, his nose and face were bruised. He had originally hoped that the Grand Steward would drive these people out of the capital of the Daxing Empire. But he was accused of impropriety as soon as he came up

"What nonsense are you talking about When have I ever done anything improper to you I swear..."

He was always a spoiled brat, used to being arrogant. Now that he was wrongly accused, anger flared up inside him and he was about to lash out.

"Master, help me!"

Hu Yaoyao immediately showed a face of terror, just like a frightened little bird.

Zhang He's expression darkened: "Bold, what are you going to do"

Before Zheng Yiheng could react, a surge of incredibly powerful energy swept over him. The icy aura instantly calmed him down.

"Idiot!"

Zheng Wei cursed his nephew inwardly. To flare up in front of the four elders only solidified their accusations.

He quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Head Elder, please don't misunderstand. My nephew just has a straightforward temper. He lost his temper when he was wrongly accused."

Zheng Yiheng also came to his senses and hurriedly bowed in apology: "Sir, I was wronged just now. For a moment, I lost control of my temper. Please forgive me."

"But I can assure you, I never had any improper thoughts about her."

"Get out of my sight!"

Zhang He let out a cold snort, clearly extremely dissatisfied with his recent performance. Then he turned his gaze to Hu YaoYao.

“Just say it, what's going on With Mr. Ben here, no one dares to touch you!”

"That's how it is, Master Inquisitor..."

Hu YaoYao put on a pitiful expression, then began to speak softly.

"Our Tianfeng Empire is quite far from the Daxing Empire, and the journey here to participate in the competition was very arduous."

As we were approaching the imperial city, we decided to take a break. The three younger brothers went hunting for some wild game, while the four of us sisters built a fire.

Just at that moment, this person arrived, followed by five others.

"I originally thought they were colleagues from the rookie ranking match, so I warmly welcomed them. However, I didn't expect those people to have bad intentions and actually made inappropriate advances towards my sisters..." Listening to Hu Yayao's account, Zheng Yiheng's face was written with two big words: dumbfounded.

At the beginning, I thought these lines sounded familiar. Then it hit me – they were my own words, just tweaked a little. Could it be that all lies are similar

Zheng Wei and Zheng Long were also stunned. Originally, they had come to play the victim first, fabricating lies to the chief steward and accusing the Tianfeng Empire.

I didn't expect the other party to be so tough either. As soon as I got here, they took the initiative and accused me first. Before I could even confront them, they filed a complaint against me.

Moreover, the other party's posture was really too grand. They came with four women crying together.

Especially this woman right here, the way she tells a story is incredibly captivating. If they hadn't believed Zheng Yiheng's words, they might have actually thought her version was true.

After the shock, Zheng Yiheng frantically cried out: "Master Attendant, please don't listen to her nonsense, this woman is lying, we never even thought about doing anything improper to her…"

"Master, I swear I'm telling the truth! I have proof right here!"

At that time, these scoundrels wanted to rape us, they even took our clothes off.

As they spoke, Hu Yaoyao's mind moved, and a pile of scattered clothes appeared before everyone. They were the very ones she had taken off Zheng Yiheng and his companions earlier.

She reached out and grabbed a white robe, "You dare say this garment isn't yours"

"I..."

Zheng Yihe was speechless for a moment. The clothes were indeed his, but the situation wasn't as it seemed.

At this moment, not only Zhang He but also the remaining three elders cast their unkind gazes over. It was obvious that these four people had already sided with what Hu YaoYao had said.

Ye Bufan's heart almost burst into laughter. Hu Yaya's acting was truly breathtaking. This was the female emperor of acting, unfortunately delayed by cultivation.

Zheng Yiheng quickly explained, "Master Elder, it's really not like that. They robbed me of my clothes and even my storage ring."

"How could four of us, frail women as we are, possibly stand against six of you, powerful men with advanced cultivation"

If it weren't for Xiao Agge and Sister Nalan coming back in time, we might have really been…"

At this point, Hu Yaoyao burst into tears again, overcome with sadness. Although Lu Xuemàn and the other girls didn't have such dramatic acting skills, they knew exactly when to jump in and support her, so they joined in the crying act at just the right moment., I have the duty to discipline every student."Ye Bufan smiled, "What's wrong Are you still worried that I can't handle him"He's the type of person who dedicates himself fully to whatever he does. Eve...
