Chapter 1781

Zhao Fu didn't say much, however, because it would have been too shameless to praise himself in front of others. Nonetheless, he earnestly said, "Although you are not suitable for official positions, your talents are needed by Great Qin as well. It is precisely because of you literary talents that Great Qin's cultural heritage is strong. You are the soul of Great Qin."

Hearing this, the originally dejected crowd showed a hint of a smile because it seemed like they were important to Great Qin too. They regained their confidence and looked even more admiring because they realized that the person standing before them was far superior to them.

"Young master is truly a person of great talent. May I ask for your name and where you live? If I have the chance, I would like to visit you someday." Nalan Ruo asked with a smile. She now felt that the man in front of her was quite ordinary.

Zhao Fu chuckled lightly and replied, "If fate permits, we will definitely meet again."

With that, Zhao Fu turned into a stream of light and disappeared before anyone could react.

Nalan Ruo regretted not keeping Zhao Fu around. A noble figure like him would have been worth befriending. If she had a connection with such a person, her family's status in the area would also rise.

...

On a small mountain, there was an ancient temple surrounded by cherry blossom trees. The petals were pink and numerous, forming a beautiful and tranquil scene, like a sea of flowers. There was only this temple in the wilderness, and there were no other villages or gathering places nearby. The pleasant bird chirping echoed in the forest, and butterflies danced gracefully among the flowers, creating a paradise-like scene.

Several women dressed in monk robes were all smiling and digging holes with hoes, planting small cherry blossom trees and watering them.

Suddenly, a roar echoed, and a spotted tiger pounced on them with a fierce look in its eyes, revealing its cruel nature. The women turned pale with fright, and their legs became weak. They had no power to resist the tiger, which had the strength of a second-tier creature.

However, they reacted quickly and dropped everything to run towards the temple while shouting, "Master! Hurry, it's just us."

A slender and beautiful woman hurried out of the temple upon hearing the sound. When she saw the tiger, she was also startled and was about to run over, but it was too late.

The tiger was extremely fast and caught up with the fleeing women. It pounced forward and knocked down the woman, opening its mouth to bite her.

The woman saw the tiger's mouth coming towards her and tears streamed down her face. She was terrified and felt that she would die in the next second, letting out a sharp scream.

Boom!

A powerful force spread and descended, as if an invisible gravity was pressing on everything in this area, and silence enveloped the surroundings.

The tiger, which had wanted to kill the woman, also cowered in fear and lay down like a small cat, not daring to move at all because the person who came was too terrifying.

Zhao Fu, who was standing in the sky, chuckled lightly when he saw the tiger behaving obediently. He landed and helped the woman up.

The woman looked at Zhao Fu in a daze as he descended from the sky, and then she went forward to thank him with a slightly red face.

Zhao Fu lightly laughed, "It's nothing!"

The other women also ran back and asked with concern, "Are you okay, Yaru?"

The woman named Yaru nodded with a blushing face.

Then, the other women looked at Zhao Fu, and a seemingly cheerful woman asked with a hint of curiosity, "Thank you for saving Yaru. May I ask who you are? It's been six years since a man has come here."

Another woman who looked pretty good said sarcastically, "What do you mean by saying no man has come here in six years, Yuezhi? It sounds like we are in desperate need of men. It should be that we have been here and no man has come."

A woman with a hint of coquetry smiled and said, "This gentleman! Your temperament is so noble, I'm sure you're a big shot, right? What brings you here? There's nothing here except for women, you know?"

Zhao Fu chuckled lightly, "I was just passing by and saw that you were in danger, so I stopped."

The woman named Yaru looked at Zhao Fu and blushed as she spoke up for him, "Yueyue, don't talk nonsense. This gentleman is a gentleman. Don't make assumptions about him."

The woman named Yu Yue smiled coquettishly and said, "But I didn't say anything. This gentleman said he is really handsome and his temperament is very attractive."

"Where are the scriptures you usually recite? You have no sense of propriety."

A mature woman with a cold face walked over and said to the group of women.

The women were afraid and did not speak, lowering their heads and retreating to the side.

The mature woman looked at Zhao Fu coldly and said, "Thank you for saving my disciple's life. I owe you a favor. If you want something, I will try my best to fulfill it. However, you are not welcome here, so please leave quickly."

Zhao Fu looked surprised. This was the first time he had been told to leave in his own country and on his own territory. And looking at the woman in front of him, it seemed that she also disliked men.

Zhao Fu became interested and said with a smile, "This place doesn't seem to belong to you, does it? According to the laws of Great Qin, this is considered wilderness. All of Great Qin's territory belongs to the court. You have no right to ask me to leave. Also, with your strength, speaking to me in such a tone, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

The mature woman showed no fear and said, "Since you are talking about the laws of Great Qin, you should also understand that even you Great Qin nobles cannot kill innocent people at will, or else your emperor will punish you severely."

Zhao Fu couldn't help laughing when he heard this and said, "Then you also have no right to ask me to leave."

The mature woman snorted, "Do whatever you want. And since you saved my disciple, what do you want? I will try my best to repay you and settle this matter."

Zhao Fu thought for a moment and said with a smile, "I want to ask you some questions. If I am satisfied, I will leave. Of course, your tone should be a little better, or I really will kill you. I'm not joking."

The mature woman relaxed a bit when she heard that Zhao Fu only wanted to ask a few questions. But when she heard the last sentence, she became nervous again.
