Ferdinand checked through them and nodded, saying, “This batch of secret manuals from the Clear Spring Palace isn’t bad.”

Standing beside him, a young man smiled and said, “Brother, the Clear Spring Palace is considered to be a great sect in the northwest in the past. It’s said that there were Divine level experts amongst their ancestors. They dared to show disrespect and defy orders because they felt that they have a strong background and a wide connection of network. Therefore, they refused to turn in their manuals and disband the faction.

“Hehe, it was said that they sent out over 10,000 gold worth from their headquarters. How much resources do you think that they have obtained by force or deception?”

Ferdinand nodded and said, “These regional factions have always been ignoring the government and doing as they wish just because they are strong. They built up their factions into a small kingdom, and it’s about time to teach them a lesson.”

Ferdinand looked at this young cousin of his. Right now, as a new aristocratic clan in the Empire, the Ferdinand Clan’s core members had also assumed various important positions in the Empire.

This cousin of Ferdinand was a member of the East Military Execution Order’s cadre.

However, Ferdinand knew that this person would not come looking for him over something as small as escorting the transportation of secret manuals. He let out a snort and asked, “What’s the matter now?”

Ferdinand’s cousin, David, smiled and said, “A few younger sisters in the family have admired the Imperial Preceptor for a very long time and wish to enter the palace to serve him by his side. Brother, can you please help with this?”

Ferdinand glared at David. Why would a Divine level expert still require maids to serve them? Things that they could do with a single thought could take ordinary people ten or more years to accomplish.

In the end, it was just that some people in the clan were too adamant and still wanted to try enticing Fang Xingjian with beauties.

“How many times have I told you guys? The Imperial Preceptor is focused on his cultivation and doesn’t indulge in beauties. Even if you were to present them to him, it’d be useless.”

David merely laughed awkwardly, “Hehe, it’s just a little token from us, a little token. Moreover, our younger sisters are all doing this willingly, so it’s fine.”

Ferdinand shook his head and asked, “Where are they? Let me take a look first.”

Outside the palace’s gates, a group of carriages was quietly parked there. Over ten young ladies were waiting anxiously in the carriages.

These young ladies were young and beautiful, with each of them having their own traits. Some of them were petite and cute, while others were sexy and mature. There were over ten different types of beauties.

All of them had been sourced by the Ferdinand Clan during this period of time in a bid to offer them to Fang Xingjian.

The status of the entire Ferdinand Clan had been given to them by Fang Xingjian. To them, Fang Xingjian was the entire clan’s most important resource, their greatest reliance. Under such a situation, they would naturally want to do whatever they could to hold on to him tightly.

A girl with tender skin and bright eyes like that of a fairy stood out amongst everyone present.

She did not speak to the girls beside her. Instead, she just shrank into a corner, watching coldly as the other girls discussed their futures. Some of them were guessing what kind of person Fang Xingjian was like, while others felt nervous and were consoling each other. There were also some who were silent, thinking about things that the others were unaware of.

Watching this entire scene, a hint of contempt flashed in the young lady’s eyes. She felt a strong sense of disdain toward these ladies who were wanting to sell their beauty.

As for her, she was naturally not out to debase herself for the sake of wealth and glory.

The young lady’s actual name was Alice. She was the daughter of the Thistle Academy’s Headmaster. In the past, the Thistle Academy had been a private Knight Academy in the south.

Unfortunately, the Thistle Academy was unwilling to submit to the Empire and put an end to their legacy. Due to that, Tyrant had sent people to eradicate them, and Alice was left to lead a wandering life in poverty. She had made her way to the Imperial Capital and gone through much difficulty to enter this group, all so that she could get close to Fang Xingjian.
