The Great Dao Golden List, Me! The Supreme Martial God Exposed – Chapter 38

Chapter 38: Conferring the Title of Martial King

The night passed quietly.

The next day.

“Young Master!”

Early in the morning, Zhao Wu was awakened by a knock on the door. He lifted his head from Yan Lingji’s soft embrace and opened his sleepy eyes.

“Enter.”

Following Zhao Wu’s voice, Mingzhu gracefully entered with hot water, softly saying, “Young Master, you can’t sleep in today!”

“Why?”

Zhao Wu lazily asked, then flipped over like a salted fish, resting his head in Yan Lingji’s lap, and continued to sleep.

“Young Master, today is the day you acknowledge your ancestors and return to the clan. Moreover, His Majesty is going to confer you a title of King, so you can’t not go, right?”

Mingzhu walked to the couch with a towel, looking at Zhao Wu, who was reluctant to get up, and smiled. The Young Master was truly willful.

“It doesn’t matter if I don’t go. I don’t care about Zheng Ge’s rewards.”

Zhao Wu reached out and pulled Mingzhu by the waist.

“Ah…”

Mingzhu exclaimed as her voluptuous body fell into Zhao Wu’s arms. She scolded, “Young Master, don’t be naughty. When you come back, you can do whatever you want, I’ll obey you!”

“Lingji Sister, aren’t you going to persuade the Young Master!”

Mingzhu’s beautiful eyes looked resentfully at Yan Lingji, who was watching the show from the side.

If Zhao Wu were the Emperor, she would definitely be a bewitching concubine who would ruin the country.

From then on, she would be partly responsible for the monarch not attending court early.

“The Master can do whatever he likes. What does it matter if he doesn’t attend court early?”

Yan Lingji’s voice was soft and melodious, captivating.

“My Lingji darling understands me best!”

Zhao Wu reached out and hugged the two fairies in his arms, smiling slightly, “But I still have to give Zheng Ge some face. I’ll go when I wake up!”

Zhao Wu nuzzled into the Great Shark’s embrace.

Mingzhu embraced Zhao Wu with her white, lotus-like arms and didn’t say anything more.

She had only come early in the morning to remind Zhao Wu.

Since Zhao Wu knew.

She wouldn’t interfere.

Anyway, it was fine as long as the Young Master was happy.

The sun rose high in the sky.

Zhao Wu finally woke up.

He was content.

Under the care of Mingzhu and Yan Lingji, Zhao Wu washed up, dressed, and prepared to give Zheng Ge some face by going to the ‘early court’.

“Oh, Young Master, you’re finally awake!”

The little eunuch waiting outside hurriedly stepped forward, his eyes filled with apprehension.

It was Zhao Wu’s first time attending court, so someone naturally needed to lead the way.

The little eunuch had arrived early in the morning.

But Zhao Wu hadn’t woken up, and with Jing Ni guarding the door, the little eunuch couldn’t get in at all.

Of course.

The situation here had already been reported to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng didn’t say much, only instructing them to wait until Zhao Wu woke up before going.

“Let’s go!”

Zhao Wu said indifferently.

He followed the little eunuch to Zhangtai Palace.

Zhangtai Palace’s foundation was several tens of zhang high, and inside the palace, there were one hundred and eight towering pillars.

Each pillar was encircled by black dragons, solemn and majestic.

At this moment.

A court assembly was being held in Zhangtai Palace.

Because of Zhao Wu’s return, Gongzi Fusu, Gongzi Huhai, Gongzi Gao, Gongzi Jianglu, and all the civil and military officials stood in the main hall, solemn and respectful.

Ying Zheng sat on the dragon throne above, wearing a black dragon robe and a twelve-tassel mian, his face unclear, and his emotions unreadable.

Majestic.

Overbearing.

The Emperor’s might was unfathomable.

“Reporting to Your Majesty, Gongzi Wu has arrived!”

At this moment, an eunuch came in from outside to report.

“This kid, did he finally wake up?”

Ying Zheng laughed inwardly, but his face showed no expression, and he said:

“Summon him!”

“Summon Gongzi Wu to appear!”

As the sharp, piercing voice rang out, Zhao Wu walked in leisurely from outside.

Immediately.

All eyes in the hall turned to him.

Facing these gazes, Zhao Wu’s expression was calm. He walked to the front of the civil and military officials, cupped his fist, and said, “Greetings, Father Emperor.”

In front of the civil and military officials, Zhao Wu still gave Zheng Ge some face.

“No need for formalities.”

Ying Zheng’s voice was gentle as he said, “Did you rest well last night?”

Zhao Wu nodded, “Not bad!”

At this moment, Huhai, upon hearing Ying Zheng’s words, thought that he was blaming Zhao Wu for sleeping in and not attending court early. He immediately jumped out and questioned:

“Big Brother, it’s understandable that you don’t know the time since it’s your first time attending court today. But you ordered your subordinates to stop Father Emperor’s messengers, and deliberately slept in, making Father Emperor and the civil and military officials wait for so long. Isn’t that too much?”

Li Si, Wang Ben, Meng Yi, and other civil and military officials were on alert, preparing to watch a good show.

They were also somewhat dissatisfied with Zhao Wu’s slow arrival.

“Are you little eighteen, Huhai?”

Zhao Wu narrowed his eyes, looking at Huhai who had jumped out.

“That’s right, Big Brother, what do you have to say?”

◈◈◈

Huhai nodded, raising his neck to look directly at Zhao Wu.

He had finally found Zhao Wu’s weakness, so he wasn’t afraid.

“Father Emperor hasn’t said anything, why are you in such a hurry?”

Zhao Wu looked at Huhai indifferently and scolded, “Don’t you know the order of seniority? Is Zhao Gao teaching you like this? No, Zhao Gao is a traitor. Today, your big brother will teach you a lesson!”

After saying that.

Zhao Wu raised his hand and slapped him.

Pa!

The crisp sound echoed in the hall.

Everyone was shocked.

Fusu, Li Si, Feng Quji, Wang Ben, Meng Yi, and the others opened their mouths wide and stared with wide eyes. They never expected that Zhao Wu would actually make a move.

Huhai was directly stunned by Zhao Wu’s slap. The intense pain made the anger in his heart surge out, and a rush of blood went to his head.

“You dare to hit me?”

Huhai’s eyes turned red. The anger, pain, and humiliation of being hit caused his reason to be swallowed up. He roared, “You bastard, how dare you hit me!”

“I’ll kill you!”

As soon as he said this, all the civil and military officials changed their expressions.

Ying Zheng’s eyes grew even colder.

And when Zhao Wu saw Huhai drawing his sword and attacking him, his eyes immediately turned sharp.

He wasn’t angry that Huhai had attacked him.

But that Huhai actually dared to call him a bastard.

“Courting death!”

Zhao Wu raised his leg and kicked Huhai in the chest. The powerful force exploded, and the Xiantian Realm Huhai was instantly sent flying like a kite with a broken string, heavily crashing into a stone pillar in the hall.

“Puh!”

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Huhai directly fainted.

He wasn’t dead, but he was ruined.

He would only be able to lie down for the rest of his life.

It was worse than death.

The hall was deathly silent.

No one expected things to develop like this.

“Eighteenth Brother!”

Fusu exclaimed and hurriedly ran over to check on him.

He found that Huhai was seriously injured.

“Big Brother, although the Eighteenth Brother was wrong, wasn’t your attack a bit too severe?” Fusu questioned.

“If it weren’t for Father Emperor’s sake, he would already be dead!”

Zhao Wu said indifferently.

He knew that Ying Zheng wouldn’t blame him.

Because he had already given Huhai a warning last night.

If Huhai had been obedient, he wouldn’t have bothered with him.

But Huhai actually jumped out to provoke him and dared to call him a bastard. Leaving him with a breath was already merciful.

“Huhai is disrespectful to his elders and brought it upon himself. Take him down and let the imperial physician treat his injuries.”

At this time, Ying Zheng spoke.

He made the final decision.

The civil and military officials were shocked. They didn’t expect His Majesty to be so biased towards Zhao Wu.

It seemed that Zhao Wu held a very high position in His Majesty’s heart.

Thinking of this, many officials had the same thought: “Zhao Wu must not be offended. This guy is ruthless.”

A ruthless person wasn’t scary. What was scary was that this ruthless person was protected by His Majesty.

But there were always some stubborn people.

For example, at this moment, the Imperial Censor stood out and impeached, “Your Majesty, Gongzi Wu not only arrived late to court, showing no respect for rules, but also committed violence in public, disregarding the law. Please, Your Majesty, investigate this matter thoroughly.”

Faced with the Imperial Censor’s impeachment, Li Si, Wang Ben, and the others all looked at Zhao Wu, wanting to see how Zhao Wu would respond.

However, Zhao Wu seemed not to have heard, standing there quietly, possessing a calm and overbearing demeanor, like ‘surrounded by thousands of enemies, yet I stand firm’.

Just this temperament alone was far beyond even Gongzi Fusu.

“This kid really has my style, but it’s a pity that he’s too lazy.”

Under the twelve-tassel mian, Ying Zheng’s deep eyes showed appreciation and helplessness.

Today, Zhao Wu had deliberately stayed at home, embracing beauties and sleeping until noon before coming. This was clearly telling him again that he didn’t want to attend court and didn’t want to manage political affairs.

In Zhao Wu’s words, he just wanted to be a salted fish.

“Now that I am immortal, it’s not impossible for him to be a salted fish, but he still needs to flip over occasionally.”

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Wu, who was standing calmly below, and had already made a decision in his heart.

“Alright, Wu’er is attending court for the first time, so it’s understandable that he’s late. Huhai was disrespectful to his elders and brought it upon himself. This matter is settled and there’s no need for further discussion.”

Ying Zheng’s indifferent gaze swept over the Imperial Censor, carrying an unquestionable majesty.

“Yes!”

The Imperial Censor’s heart trembled, not daring to say more, and hurriedly retreated.

Seeing this, the people had a deeper understanding of the favor Zhao Wu enjoyed.

Zhao Wu was in the Emperor’s good graces.

He must not be offended.

After the Imperial Censor retreated, Ying Zheng said directly:

“Someone, announce the decree.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

An old eunuch stepped forward, took out the prepared imperial decree, and read it out to the civil and military officials below:

“By the Mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Gongzi Wu is exceptionally talented, inheriting the Martial God, and has achieved great success in cultivation. He eliminated the Mohist rebels in Dragon Fall Valley and presented the elixir of immortality, his merits are immense.”

“He is hereby granted permission to enter the court without hastening, to wear his sword and shoes in the hall, to not be named during the audience, to freely enter and exit the Imperial Palace, to not attend court, to control the Net, to command the martial world, to be ranked as a Chancellor, and to be conferred the title of Martial King.”
