As for the immortal poet, although he had won some fame in Ziwei Lake, he never dared to show up. Wu Tong was not interested in his background and even looked down on him a little.

"Your suggestion? Who do you think you are?"

Wu Tong challenged, "How dare you talk to me like this? Don't you know what kind of distinguished person you are facing?"

"Oh?"

Faced with this sudden question, Fang Yi's expression did not change at all. On the contrary, he seemed quite curious: "I really want to know who you are."

Wu Tong smiled slightly and waved his hand to let the attendant beside him step forward. "It seems that you are really ignorant. Listen, this is the eldest son of the current Minister of Justice!"

The guard said this proudly, looking down at Fang Yi. "You should be so scared that your legs are weak now, right?"

But something unexpected happened. The chubby Mu Wei jumped out and scolded the arrogant little lackey: "How dare you! How dare a little lackey be so arrogant!"

Then there was another round of scolding mixed with a lot of foul language.

Seeing this scene, the originally arrogant guards instantly became timid and hurriedly retreated behind Wu Tong to seek shelter.

Fang Yi patted the back of his friend's hand in comfort, and after gently calming down his furious friend, he turned his attention back to the arrogant young man in front of him, "So, your father is the current Lord Wu? I have heard people mention him a few times..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the latter was seen holding his head high and chest out as if expecting some kind of reaction.

However, the only response he got was a face as calm as water and a hint of sneer at the corner of his mouth.

"Since you know my background, then kneel down and beg for mercy. In addition, give me two hundred thousand taels of silver as a gift, and perhaps I can let bygones be bygones for what happened today."

Wu Tong put his hands behind his back and looked at the man in front of him with squinted eyes, as if he wanted to catch even the slightest fear or hesitation on his face.

Unfortunately, this attempt is doomed to fail...

Fang Yi narrowed his eyes and walked forward slowly until they were only inches apart. "Who am I? You should know that in this land, there are many things more important than 'identity'..."

At this point, he paused for a moment and then changed the subject: "But even so, if I really tell you my origins, do you think you can handle it? It's better to ask first, isn't it?"

Almost at the same time, Wu Tong laughed out loud, as if he had heard the most absurd story in the world.

"No matter which prince or noble family you are from, are you more powerful than my father?"

Everyone present could hear that there was great doubt and ridicule in this.

But who could have expected that this seemingly one-sided situation was about to undergo unexpected changes?

"Listen, kid..."

Wu Tong pointed his finger directly at Fang Yi, with a teasing expression on his face and disdain in his eyes.

"You're still a little immature if you want to show off in front of me!" He said contemptuously, "Let alone you, even if your father comes, what can he do? I will still make him go back in disgrace!"

When Mu Wei heard this, his face suddenly darkened and he clenched his fists. He was filled with anger - even though he only knew a little about the identity of this "big brother", how could he swallow this anger when he saw his friend being humiliated like this?

Just as Mu Wei was about to stand up for his brother, Fang Yi, who had remained silent, suddenly looked at him fiercely and raised his voice: "How bold!"

"You dare to disrespect the emperor, which is a crime of treason. You should be executed along with your entire clan!"

"The family of Lord Wu, the Minister of Justice, aren't you afraid of disaster?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present were shocked.

Mu Wei and Yin Susu exchanged confused looks: How did this get to the emperor?

Wu Tong was stunned for a moment. "Boy, how dare you talk nonsense and slander me!?"

After coming to his senses, Wu Tong asked sternly.

Fang Yi ignored these rebuttals and stared at the other party with a cold gaze: "Look at what this is?"

After receiving a positive answer, Fang Yi calmly took out an exquisitely carved gold token from his sleeve and gently threw it to the ground.

Looking at this object that symbolizes noble status and power, the hearts of everyone present seemed to stop for a second.

Even Mu Wei, who was usually careless, noticed something was wrong, and the smart and alert Yin Susu had guessed something and her breathing became rapid.

"Take a closer look, maybe it will be helpful to you," Fang Yi said lightly, his tone calm but full of endless power.

The guard who picked up the token immediately changed his expression and his whole body trembled.

"Sir..."

He stammered, almost crying.

"Look at you, you're such a coward."

Wu Tong was obviously a little dissatisfied with his subordinate's panic. However, after taking the token from him, he was also shocked by the words engraved on it.

It turned out to be the token of the most popular young noble and military genius "Champion Marquis".

Everyone understood at this moment.

If Fang Yi is truly the legendary "Poet Immortal", then his father must naturally be the almighty emperor himself.

Wu Tong suddenly realized and felt cold all over. He finally understood why Fang Yi's seemingly off-topic remarks just now actually had a deep meaning.

Not only him, but Mu Wei and Yin Susu who witnessed all this happening nearby also had faces filled with astonishment and shock.

"Now do you realize what a grave mistake you have made?"

Finally, it was still that calm yet somewhat intimidating voice that broke the silence, making the atmosphere in the entire space even more tense.

When these words fell into Wu Tong's ears, they were like a bolt from the blue!

Champion Hou Fangyi, who had no power or influence in the past, is now famous for his outstanding military exploits.

What made Wu Tong even more panic was the charge of "making irresponsible remarks about His Majesty"!

Once confirmed, not only will he be in danger of losing himself, but his entire clan may also be implicated.

"...Marquis, Marquis..."

"me……"

Wu Tong's face was as pale as paper, his whole body was shaking, and he could hardly speak. He felt that the token in his hand was burning hotter than ever before, as if it would swallow him up at any time.

He could only hold the token in his trembling hands and hand it to Fang Yi with utmost respect, hoping to gain a moment's forgiveness.

However, Fang Yi just glanced at it indifferently and showed no intention of accepting it immediately.

"Don't worry, let's talk about what happened before."

Thinking about the fact that the Minister of Justice Wu Dingyuan was an important figure in Yang Jingyu's camp, and he had slandered his family in every way before, now his son was in his hands. It could be considered the cycle of cause and effect.
