The Lord's Empire (Part 1)

Chapter 171-175

Chapter 171: Supreme

As the young man walked in, countless people immediately gathered around him with kind smiles plastered all over their faces, and they tried to express their goodwill. Li Wu walked into the hall like a moon surrounded by countless stars.

The upper-class people around him were people who he could only look at before, but they were now incredibly respectful towards him and trying to curry favor with him. When he looked at these upper-class people, Li Wu, an ordinary person, was incredibly delighted and cheerful.

However, on the surface, Li Wu pretended to look humble and courteous. He knew that he was just a fake that the Ying family had found; these people were trying to curry favor with the status of Great Qin's Legatee, not himself personally.

What he needed to do was to act as Great Qin's Legatee as the Ying family wished and become truly powerful with their help. One day, he would make these important and noble figures truly bow at his feet.

After reaching the center of the hall, Li Wu did as they had rehearsed and walked onto the stage with a confident smile on his face as he said, "Everyone, welcome to my banquet. Today is the day that I officially return to the Ying family, and it is the day that the Ying family will rise up. The Great Qin Empire shall once again rise to glory and will be completely unstoppable; Great Qin will be restored to its former majesty. Those who are friends with Great Qin will receive innumerable benefits, but those who are enemies of Great Qin will be scattered like ashes and dispersed like smoke!"

After Li Wu spoke, the hall erupted with tremendous applause. Even though some people didn't quite understand, they still vigorously clapped; they all knew how important Great Qin's Legatee was. If they could curry favor with him, their entire family would benefit.

Zhao Fu could understand what Li Wu was trying to do: he was drawing many factions to his side while also quashing any thoughts of resistance against Great Qin. He expressed his power and might while also expressing his amicability and willingness to make allies.

Following this, Li Wu officially changed his surname to Ying, becoming Ying Wu!

If it was Zhao Fu, he wouldn't change his surname - he would always be surnamed Zhao with his mother. This was something that would never change.

After Ying Wu spoke, he slowly descended from the stage, and countless people surrounded him, wanting to become closer with Great Qin's Legatee.

"Do you want to go over?" A trace of a smile appeared on Wu Qingniang's face as she looked over at Ying Wu and spoke to Zhao Fu.

Hearing this, Zhao Fu thought about it but decided not to enter the muddy water, so he shook his head.

Wu Qingniang withdrew her arm from Zhao Fu's arm and said, "I'll go over to take a look at Great Qin's Legatee; wait for me here and don't run off like last time!"

"This..." That was exactly what Zhao Fu had been planning to do because this sort of place did not suit him at all. He was quite uncomfortable and bored, so he wanted to leave quickly.

He hadn't thought that Wu Qingniang would guess his intentions, so he could only nod and agree to stay here until she came back.

At this moment, there was already a woman by Ying Wu's side who had completely drawn his attention. Unsurprisingly, it was Su Yuyan.

Of course, Ying Wu recognized this superstar and was quite drawn to her. Su Yuyan was someone who most men dreamed that they could be with, and before, it would have been impossible for Ying Wu to even see this superstar in person. It would only have been possible for him to meet her in his dreams.
