The Lord is Empire

They never could have expected that Zhao Fu would be Great Qin’s Legatee. From the beginning, they looked down on Zhao Fu, as Zhao Fu was of lowly birth. Now that they thought about that, they felt quite scared; if they had tried to do something to Zhao Fu back then, the entire Ying family could have been wiped out by him, because he was the person with the most authority in Great Qin.

At the same time, they felt quite regretful that they had not been able to find out he was Great Qin’s Legatee earlier; otherwise, they could have done more to earn favor with him.

Everyone felt incredibly stupid that they had missed such a good opportunity and had stupidly taken him to be Great Qin’s Legatee’s representative. He was actually the person they had been desperately looking for.

Now, they could only hope that Zhao Fu would not take too much offense at their earlier conduct, or else they would be doomed. Everyone started to sweat cold sweat, and their bodies lightly trembled, begging Zhao Fu to forgive them.

The person who was the most shocked as Ying Xi. After all, she was the first person out of them to interact with Zhao Fu, and back then, he had been an incredibly minor figure. However, Zhao Fu’s performance had continuously surprised her, and his status was now higher than hers.

However, she had never expected Zhao Fu’s true identity to be so monstrous. Now, she could not compare to even a hair on his body because Zhao Fu was now the most prestigious person in the world.

Now, Ying Xi did not even dare to look at Zhao Fu, because the difference between this Zhao Fu and the Zhao Fu she knew was simply too big, making her feel terrified and incredibly inferior. The only thing that she felt quite grateful about was that their relationship was not too bad.

However, Ying Xi suddenly remembered the things she had said to Zhao Fu about Great Qin’s Legatee before the real world was destroyed. Her face became incredibly pale and she silently cursed at herself for being so stupid. She was definitely doomed.

At the same time, she understood why Wu Qingniang would enter Great Qin; after all, the man she had chosen was Great Qin’s Legatee, so why wouldn’t she?

It was a pity that even though she had been incredibly lucky to find Great Qin’s Legatee, she had been too blind to notice Zhao Fu’s true value and had given him to Wu Qingniang.

Now, Ying Xi regretted it so much that she wanted to die. Before, Wu Qingniang had said that Zhao Fu’s potential was extraordinary, but Ying Xi had not believed her. Who could have known that he was Great Qin’s Legatee? Extraordinary potential? Zhao Fu was almost godly at this point.

If she had realized that Zhao Fu was Great Qin’s Legatee, she might have been able to obtain great authority within Great Qin. However, this was now impossible.

“You may all rise! Originally, We did not plan on going to the Ying family or receiving the Ying family as Great Qin’s royal clan, but We are part of the Ying family. When We acted as the proxy leader of the Ying family, you all performed well, so We will acknowledge your status,” Zhao Fu said in a dignified tone as he looked at the Ying family’s people kneeling in fear.

This caused everyone from the Ying family to let out a sigh of relief, their fear turning into joy. They profusely thanked Zhao Fu, after which Zhao Fu conferred some rewards and sent them off.

After the meeting concluded, Wu Qingniang walked out. Ying Xi looked at Wu Qingniang and she could not help but leap into her embrace and cry. She felt incredibly happy and regretful upon seeing Wu Qingniang.

“What’s wrong, Lil Xi? Did that bad guy bully you?” Wu Qingniang glared at Zhao Fu while Zhao Fu looked back at her innocently because he hadn’t done anything.

Ying Xi shook her head and explained, “Zhao Fu didn’t bully me; I was just scared by his identity, and I’m also so happy to see you.”

“So that’s why. I never thought that that fellow was Great Qin’s Legatee either, and I was also given a big shock. However, he really isn’t as bad as the rumors say; he’s quite good to everyone,” Wu Qingniang said as she lightly laughed.

Seeing them start to talk amongst themselves, Zhao Fu did not disturb them. Because the real world had just been destroyed, there were many things waiting for Zhao Fu to take care of.

Following this, Zhao Fu’s uncle’s family heard about this news, and they were incredibly shocked. They had never thought it possible that Zhao Fu was that supreme, cruel, and violent Legatee. Was this really the Zhao Fu they knew? Their relative, Zhao Fu?

Even now, they still could not believe it, because Zhao Fu was simply too different Great Qin’s Legatee from the rumours. If it wasn’t for the fact that the entire Ying family knew about this, they would think that it was not true.

Thinking about everything that had happened before, how they had almost been kicked out of the Ying family by Zhao Fu, their faces became incredibly pale in terror. They felt greatly regretful and hated themselves for being so stupid. They had offended him so many times, and they had no hope in the future.

After hearing about this, Zhao Fu’s younger cousin’s face became incredibly pale, because he remembered how he had cursed at Zhao Fu before, such as how he was nothing and was just Great Qin’s Legatee’s dog.

He really had never expected that Zhao Fu was Great Qin’s Legatee; how could things be like this? How could he be Great Qin’s Legatee?

He could not dare to believe this, and he felt incredibly worried. Anyone who cursed at Great Qin’s Legatee like that would definitely suffer a horrible death; he was probably the only person who had dared to say such things to Great Qin’s Legatee. As such, he would most likely be cut into a thousand pieces for daring to do such a thing.

Zhao Fu’s older cousin sighed and shook his head. Right now, he would be completely satisfied if Zhao Fu did not kill them. He could even put aside his hatred regarding Zheng Jiao, because that was her own decision.

Zhao Fu’s uncle and aunty knelt in front of his grandparents, crying as they begged them to bring them into the Palace to see Zhao Fu so that they could apologize to him. They would be willing to do anything to have him forgive them, and the pleaded with Zhao Fu’s grandparents to think about their grandsons.

After all, since Zhao Fu was Great Qin’s Legatee, if they could ask for a few cities, their family would not have to worry for the rest of their lives; they could be high and mighty City Lords.

Originally, Zhao Fu’s grandparents did not want to go, but under his uncle and aunty’s pleading, they decided to go and ask for mercy from Zhao Fu. However, they could not even enter the Palace and were given a medium-sized courtyard.

A manager coldly harrumphed, saying, “You’ll be living here from now on; His Majesty has already shown great mercy to you. If you try to find His Majesty, you’ll be kicked out of Great Qin.”

Hearing this, the entire family’s faces went pale.

Back then, in order to avoid his identity being exposed so as not to encounter danger in the real world, Zhao Fu did his best to hide his appearance. However, now that there was nothing to worry about, Zhao Fu no longer wore his cloak. Zhao Fu’s true identity had been spread to the rest of the world, and now the entire world knew who Great Qin’s mysterious Legatee was.
