"Yue Mei'er, what exactly is the matter that you summoned me here so urgently?"
Upon meeting, the young duke Lu Jun did not stand on ceremony and directly asked with a smile, "Could it be that because Ren Tianye is about to arrive in the capital, you are trying to find a way to deal with him?"
Seeming to have guessed Gu Qingyue's thoughts, or rather, the young duke Lu Jun's thoughts were in complete agreement with hers, he immediately raised his head and said, "Before, in Yunji City, that was Ren Tianye's territory, so he could be disrespectful to me."
"But now, Ren Tianye is about to enter the capital."
"The capital is my territory!"
"My uncle now holds full command of the capital's military forces. When Ren Tianye arrives, I will properly teach him how to behave!"
As he spoke, the young duke Lu Jun's face was filled with a domineering aura, his eyes sharp and piercing, showing the grandeur of one who controls the situation of the world.
Gu Qingyue had seen this look many times.
It could be said that from childhood to adulthood, she had often seen such an expression on the young duke Lu Jun's face. It was very fascinating. Only a few months ago, after returning from Yunji City, the young duke had been dispirited and overly paranoid.
Fortunately, after this period of recuperation, the young duke Lu Jun was back!
With his return, the world was theirs to grasp!
She immediately smiled and said, "Indeed, nothing can be hidden from your eyes. For the Great Yu to have talents like you and Second Uncle Lu is truly the fortune of the Great Yu!"
Pausing for a moment, she continued, "Young Duke, since you already know my intentions, I won't waste words. I just want to discuss a better plan with you."
"To severely crush Ren Tianye's arrogance!"
"To let Ren Tianye know that the capital is not like the Northern Frontier. No matter how much he dominated the Northern Frontier, once he arrives in the capital, this land of crouching tigers and hidden dragons, if he is a dragon, he must coil up; if he is a tiger, he must lie down."
The young duke Lu Jun knew that Gu Qingyue was highly intelligent, so he asked, "Yue Mei'er, since you say this, it seems you already have a way. Let's hear it!"
Gu Qingyue stood up, smiled slightly, and said with a bit of a show-off tone, "Your father has just passed away, and the funeral is not yet over. We can make use of this matter!"
The young duke Lu Jun was stunned. "My father?"
"How does this concern my father?"
Gu Qingyue said, "Young Duke, have you forgotten? When your father was alive, he once had a bond with Ren Tianye!"
The young duke Lu Jun really did not know about this and asked in surprise, "What bond could my father have had with Ren Tianye?"
"If I remember correctly, before Ren Tianye went to the Northern Frontier, he had just been picked up from the commoners by the Duke Ren's estate. He didn't stay in the capital for many days. Even if he met my father, it couldn't have been more than a few brief encounters, right?"
"How could there be any bond?"
Gu Qingyue chuckled and said, "I suppose your father felt it was too embarrassing to speak of, so he didn't mention it much."
"But it just so happens that your father told my father, and thus I came to know about it."
Pausing, Gu Qingyue said, "When Ren Tianye first arrived at the Duke Ren's estate, his behavior was extremely improper. He stole Duke Ren's money, acted rudely, and what was even more hateful, he actually did something to Duchess Ren's menstrual cloth...!"
"Therefore, the Duke Ren's estate was extremely furious!"
"It just so happened that your father went to visit Duke Ren and was grabbed by Ren Tianye, who was crying and snotting all over, claiming he was wronged and hoping your father would plead for him."
"Your father couldn't bear it at the moment and helped him out with a few words, but he ended up being pestered by him, insisting on acknowledging your father as his master. Your father eventually agreed."
"However, after only teaching him for one day, because Ren Tianye once again did something to Duchess Ren's menstrual cloth... your father flew into a rage and personally petitioned the emperor to exile Ren Tianye to the bitter cold lands of the Northern Frontier!"
"Telling Ren Tianye to get out!"
"Thus, thoroughly ending the master-disciple relationship with Ren Tianye!"
The young duke Lu Jun was dumbfounded hearing this. He truly never expected that this Great General Ren Tianye actually had such a fetish. He was simply human scum.
It was just a pity that his father's lifelong heroic reputation was almost ruined by a disciple like Ren Tianye.
He asked, "Yue Mei'er, you deliberately brought up this old history between Ren Tianye and my father. Are you trying to make an issue out of this?"
"Naturally!" Gu Qingyue said proudly. "As the saying goes, a master for a day is a father for a lifetime. The relationship between master and disciple is equivalent to the bond between father and son."
"Although your father has passed away, the title remains!"
"Although the moral principles are ancient, the rules cannot be broken!"
"Ren Tianye indeed has some strength, but while strength can place him above others, it can never place him above etiquette and law!"
"Since Ren Tianye once acknowledged your father as his master, the title has been set. Once the title is set, he is his master for life!"
"A master is like a father!"
"While the father is alive, obey his commands!"
"When the father passes, uphold his rules!"
"You are your father's son, so you can be considered Ren Tianye's elder. Since ancient times, there has been a distinction between the noble and the lowly, and an order between the old and the young. Why can't you use this to ruthlessly deal with Ren Tianye?!"
The young duke Lu Jun's eyes lit up.
This idea was brilliant!
In this world, no matter how great things are, they cannot surpass the rules, and no matter how strong one is, they cannot surpass etiquette and law. Since there was the premise of 'a master for a day is a father for a lifetime', when he went back, he would have to look up ancient texts on this matter.
When the time came, he would bring people and definitely make Ren Tianye kneel down, kowtow, and admit his mistakes to his father, and to him.
"Yue Mei'er, your idea is absolutely fantastic!"
"That is only natural!" Gu Qingyue said proudly.
With the young duke Lu Jun using the coffin and memorial tablet to bind Ren Tianye with the principle of "a master for a day is a father for a lifetime," plus Duke Ren being in prison with his life and death under her control, a mere Ren Tianye could only be used by her and would not be able to make any waves.
...
Outside the capital, Ren Tianye's large army was almost at the city. However, at this time, Ren Tianye ordered the marching speed to slow down, deliberately taking a leisurely pace forward.
There was only one purpose: to wait until the specific situation inside the capital was clear before making a move. Otherwise, it would still pose a considerable threat to his army.
After all, according to his understanding, there were still two hundred thousand imperial guards stationed inside and outside the capital!
That's right, two hundred thousand elite imperial guards!
Damn it, he didn't know how the Great Yu managed to feed so many imperial guards around the capital. Especially now, with the world in chaos and the imperial guards putting down rebellions everywhere, it was absurd that the capital could still retain two hundred thousand imperial guards!
And this required him to be extremely cautious.
On the way here, he already had an idea in mind.
Once he investigated clearly and found no problems in the capital, he would arrange for the one hundred thousand troops he brought to enter the city in batches.
Fifty thousand would go in the morning, and withdraw in the evening.
Then go in again the next morning.
He had to create a powerful illusion for those in the capital that he had brought a massive military force, thereby allowing him to better control the imperial court!
Plotting like this, Ren Tianye advanced step by step according to his plan. On this day, after dawdling for a period of time, he finally arrived at the capital!

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately...

Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
