Xia Kingdom's Imperial Palace.
After Marquis Penglin and Mo Qingyun parted ways, he came here to help Mo Qingyun with the recommendation letter.
At this moment, the Imperial Palace was filled with civil and military officials, discussing matters.
Seeing Penglin approaching, everyone raised their eyebrows and greeted him.
"Penglin greets the King!"
Under the gaze of everyone, Penglin walked to the front of the hall and bowed to Emperor Xia.
"Royal uncle, you may rise!"
In response to Penglin's bow, Emperor Xia showed his respect and waved his hand at Penglin.
Seeing Emperor Xia's action, Marquis Penglin slowly stood up and saluted, "King, I have something to report."
"Royal uncle, please speak!"
Emperor Xia quickly raised his hand, indicating that Penglin did not need to be so courteous and could speak directly.
"Yes!"
Peng Lin replied with a sound of acknowledgement, his expression turning serious as he said: "Your Majesty, I have a friend who wants a letter of recommendation to participate in the Grand Examination."
A recommendation letter to participate in the Grand Examination!
Hearing Penglin's words, everyone's expression changed and they whispered to each other.
"What? Marquis Penglin wants a place in the Grand Examination, is he abusing his power for personal gain? "
"Lower your voice, you have no right to interfere with Marquis Penglin's matters."
"Hasn't the Grand Examination's quota been confirmed? If that's the case, I'm afraid someone will be replaced. "
"No choice, Marquis Penglin's status is there."
…
Everyone showed some dissatisfaction, but due to Penglin's status, they did not dare to voice out their anger.
"A recommendation letter for the Grand Examination?"
Emperor Xia frowned after hearing this and felt slightly troubled. He muttered, "Royal uncle, the Grand Examination's quota has been confirmed. If you want me to change it now, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
"Emperor Xia, please agree to this!"
Seeing Emperor Xia's troubled expression, Marquis Penglin's expression turned serious and persuaded Emperor Xia, "I think that my friend can replace the last place in the Grand Examination."
Hearing Marquis Penglin's suggestion, Emperor Xia was shocked and surprised by Marquis Penglin's reaction.
Given Penglin's personality, he normally wouldn't do such a thing. It seemed that this person held a high position in the marquis' heart.
Thinking up to this point, Emperor Xia made a decision in his heart and said in a deep voice, "If that's the case, then Cao Yu, who is ranked last in the Grand Examination, will be disqualified and this place will be given to a friend of Marquis Penglin."
"Thank you, Emperor Xia!"
Hearing Emperor Xia's words, Peng Lin immediately smiled and expressed his gratitude.
"Wait!"
As soon as Peng Lin finished speaking, a middle-aged man in scale armor walked out with a displeased expression.
Upon seeing this middle-aged man walk out, the officials began to whisper to each other.
"Last place in the Grand Examination is Cao Wei's second son, Cao Yu. It looks like Cao Wei is angry."
"Cao Yu is going to be eliminated. Marshal Cao Wei is naturally going to be angry. Before this, he has been boasting that his family has two outstanding talents."
"Haha, that's true. Once Cao Yu is eliminated, their family won't be a family with two outstanding talents."
"Actually, I'm curious. Who could make Marquis Penglin so concerned? Could it be his illegitimate child?"
"That's very possible. Marquis Penglin has more than one illegitimate child."
…
The crowd looked at Cao Wei gloatingly, as if they were waiting for a good show.
"My King, the candidates for the Grand Examination have been carefully selected. Every one of them is an elite of the kingdom."
Under the gaze of the crowd, Cao Wei walked in front of Emperor Xia and cupped his hands, "Now, because of Marquis Penglin's words, taking away a place seems a little inappropriate. Isn't this too unfair to the other candidates? "
Cao Wei's face was gloomy and he said in a displeased tone, "Also, what if the person recommended by Marquis Penglin is just a good-for-nothing? Letting him participate in the Grand Examination would be a disgrace to the Xia Kingdom."
"This …"
Hearing Cao Wei's words, Emperor Xia looked troubled and hesitated, "Marshal Cao Wei's words do make some sense. This puts me in a difficult position …"
"Yes, Marshal Cao Wei's words make sense. If this is the case, it would be unfair to the others."
"Although I don't like Marshal Cao Wei's overbearingness, I can't deny that his words make sense."
"That's right. Marquis Penglin's actions are a little too much."
…
In an instant, the civil and military officials started whispering to each other, agreeing with Cao Wei's words.
"Hmph!"
Just as the crowd was whispering, Marquis Penglin snorted and said to Marshal Cao Wei, "Marshal Cao Wei, if the Cao Family doesn't want to end up like the Du Family and the Hai Family, I advise you to keep your mouth shut. Don't remove the Cao Family from the Xia Kingdom just because of a place in the Grand Examination."
Regarding the destruction of the Du Family and the Hai Family, Penglin knew that it was definitely related to Mo Qingyun.
With the hatred between Mo Qingyun and the Du Family and the Hai Family, he had every reason to destroy the Du Family and the Hai Family.
Furthermore, he had heard of Chi Lian's reputation in the Dan Palace battlefield. He had the strength to easily destroy the Du Family and the Hai Family.
Given Mo Qingyun's personality, if Cao Wei provoked him and wanted to go against him, he might just destroy the Cao Family.
Of course, Penglin was more worried that if this matter wasn't handled well, Mo Qingyun would destroy the Penglin Family. That would be the end of the Cao Family.
Hua!
At this moment, after Penglin's words, the hall was in an uproar. Everyone's face was filled with shock.
"What? Just now, Marquis Penglin said that the Cao Family would be destroyed because of this? "
"Could it be that the person Marquis Penglin recommended has something to do with the destruction of the Du Family and the Hai Family?"
"Hiss! If that's the case, this person can't be offended! "
"It seems like Marshal Cao Wei has to swallow his anger. The Cao Family can't be compared to the Du Family."
…
In an instant, everyone looked at Cao Wei with sympathy. He was really unlucky this time.
"Marquis Penglin, you … Why didn't you say so earlier!"
Hearing Penglin's words, Cao Wei's face twitched and revealed a terrified expression.
If he knew that this person had something to do with the destruction of the Du Family and the Hai Family, he wouldn't have dared to give up even if he asked for two places.
Such a ruthless person, not only the Cao Family, but even the entire Xia Kingdom couldn't afford to offend him.
Encountering such a person, he could only admit that he was unlucky.
"Imperial Uncle, you mean that person …?"
Emperor Xia was shocked and revealed a serious expression as he asked Marquis Penglin.
"That's right! That's the person! Also, they are now in Yonghe Palace, waiting for me to reply to them. "
Penglin's face was solemn as he nodded solemnly.
However, Marquis Penglin's expression suddenly changed drastically. He cried out in alarm, "Shit! I met Li Yin and the others on the way here and told them about this. If they tell Cao Yu about this, wouldn't that be …"
Thinking of this, Marquis Penglin's face twitched. He didn't dare to think further and scolded, "My foul mouth, sigh …"
What? Li Yin and the rest knew?
Hearing Marquis Penglin's words, everyone was shocked again as cold sweat broke out on their backs.
Cao Yu was the same as Li Yin and the others, they were all participants of the Grand Examination. Since Li Yin knew of this matter, it was entirely possible that he would tell Cao Yu.
This was bad!
If Cao Zheng knew about this and went to find trouble with Mo Qingyun, it would be like poking a hole in the sky.
"Imperial Uncle, quick, quick, bring me to see that young master."
At this moment, Emperor Xia couldn't care less about his reputation. He quickly stood up and urged Penglin to lead the way.
He had no choice. If this lord was angry, he could change the dynasty of Emperor Xia. He had to be careful when dealing with him.
If Cao Zheng and the others angered him, he would no longer be able to sit on the throne steadily.
"Yes!"
Immediately, Marquis Penglin led everyone to Yonghe Palace.
…
Inside Yonghe Palace.
Seeing Mo Qingyun defeat Cao Zheng in one move, everyone was shocked. They couldn't believe this was real.
With Cao Zheng's half step to the Yuan Dan state, he couldn't even withstand one move from Mo Qingyun. This was too shocking.
"So … so strong. Could it be that his strength has already reached the Yuan Dan Stage?"
"True Energy Level Seven, comparable to the Yuan Dan state. How … how is this possible!"
"Demon, a peerless demon. No wonder he was recognized by Marquis Penglin."
…
At this moment, everyone was shocked and looked at Mo Qingyun with respect.
Mo Qingyun used his strength to gain their recognition and respect.
At this moment, while everyone was shocked by Mo Qingyun's strength, Cao Zheng stood up with a ferocious expression and glared at Mo Qingyun, "Kid, you dare to hurt someone in the palace. Just wait to be locked in jail and never see the light of day again."
"Hmph! Second brother, let's go. "
After Cao Zheng finished speaking, he snorted and was about to leave Yonghe Palace.
Thump thump thump …
At this moment, just as Cao Zheng was about to leave, a group of people rushed into Yonghe Palace.
"Greetings, Emperor Xia, Lords …"
Seeing the arrival of this group of people, Cao Zheng and the rest's expression changed. They respectfully bowed to Emperor Xia and the rest.
"Kid, you're finished!"
After bowing, Cao Zheng sneered at Mo Qingyun. Then, he said to Cao Wei, "Father, this kid hurt someone in the palace. Hurry up and arrest him."
"That kid is in trouble!"
After hearing Cao Zheng's words, everyone's expression changed and they started to worry for Mo Qingyun.
However, at this moment, everyone was worried for Mo Qingyun.
Emperor Xia and the rest ignored Cao Zheng and Cao Wei and walked towards Mo Qingyun worriedly. They smiled and said, "This … this, Mr. Mo, are you hurt?"
Mr. Mo, are you hurt?
After hearing the words of Emperor Xia and the rest, Cao Zheng and the rest were stunned and stood rooted to the ground.
This was especially true for Cao Zheng and Cao Yu. Both of them had aggrieved expressions on their faces as they felt extremely depressed.
They were the ones who were hurt.
However, in the end, Emperor Xia and the rest asked if Mo Qingyun was hurt.
