Chapter 5: Talking to You, I’m Afraid I’ll Get Dirty!
“Traitors and villains!”
These words, like thunder, echoed throughout the entire hall.
No one had expected that such words would be uttered on this occasion today.
King Cao Meng of Wei fixed his gaze, realizing that the one who spoke was the official in charge of the imperial seal.
A mere minor official dares to insult me?
He was enraged, pointing at his own nose.
“Are you insulting this king!?”
“No!” The official shook his head.
Cao Meng thought to himself, indeed, he must have misheard. How could a mere seal official have such audacity?
“I’m not insulting you, but all of you!”
The audacious official who spoke was none other than Ye Ning.
He displayed an aura of “I cannot coexist with evil,” staring angrily at the entire civil and military officials.
“You officials and ministers, you lack integrity!
“Do you deserve the salaries you receive? Do you deserve the previous kings of Great Zhou?
“Learning arts of both civil and military, selling yourselves to the royal family, yet today, you actually dare to force the palace. Are you trying to rebel?”
Ye Ning’s angry voice continued to reverberate throughout the hall.

Everyone was dumbfounded.
“This, this, this is Master Ye!” Liu Jin’s mouth hung open wide.
He had let his guard down, and Ye Ning had suddenly burst into the hall, and in another moment, he had begun to rebuke the entire civil and military officials!
This made him feel like he was in a dream.
Upon waking up, his first thought was: Master Ye is really powerful!
A mere scholar, yet so brave.
Look at what he said, it’s really satisfying to hear!
But then came the second thought:
Master Ye is impulsive!
Liu Jin’s face turned pale.
To speak out in such a situation, besides facing a dead end, what other result could there be?
Oh no, he’s stirred up trouble!
“Is that the seal official?” Ji Mingyue was also shocked.
The seal official was just a minor official, and as the emperor, he naturally could not recognize him.
But at this moment, Ye Ning’s figure had left an eternal imprint in his heart.
“So my Great Zhou still has loyal ministers!”
His originally reddened eyes instantly became moist, tears rolling down.
No one understood Ji Mingyue’s feelings.
Just a moment ago, he had been fighting alone, as if he were against the whole world.
That kind of loneliness and fear could not be described in words.
At the moment when he most needed warmth, Ye Ning stepped forward. Even though he was just a low-ranking official, but his figure was so tall that he overshadowed all the civil and military officials!
Not good!
After being moved, Ji Mingyue quickly came to his senses.
Although he was very happy that Ye Ning had spoken out, it was clearly suicidal!
These traitorous officials had already gained the upper hand, how could a mere seal official change anything?
He was soft-hearted, how could he bear to see a loyal minister die before him?
Compared to Liu Jin’s shock and Ji Mingyue’s moved emotions, the mood of others would not be so pleasant.
No one wanted to be pointed at and called traitors and villains.
Especially when this person’s status was far below their own.
“Outrageous!” An old minister immediately stood up, his hair all white, wearing a crimson official robe, looking majestic.
“A mere insignificant minor official dares to utter such wild words!”
Ye Ning raised his head high, glancing at him. “Who are you?”
The old man was proud, stroking his beard. “I am Zeng Haoran, Minister of the Ministry of Household!”
Ye Ning nodded. “Minister of the Ministry of Household, you must also be a learned scholar.”
Zeng Haoran became even more arrogant. “I was the top scholar in my year!”
The implication was that as the top scholar, he had passed the imperial examination step by step and made his way to the court.
Without the promotion of the king, would he have his status today?
“But today, you dare to force the palace. It’s simply outrageous and angering both gods and humans. You’re worse than beasts! Old thief, you’re not even worthy to speak to me. Step aside, I’m afraid I’ll get dirty talking to you!”
Zeng Haoran spent his entire life listening to flattery. Everywhere he went, people licked him. Where had he ever been scolded so impolitely?
Especially by Ye Ning, who was so impolite.
Most importantly, he couldn’t refute!
After all, what he had just done was utterly groundless.
So, he turned green with anger, but couldn’t vent it out, choking on his breath.
“You, you…” He pointed at Ye Ning, and suddenly sprayed out a mouthful of blood, then fell backward.
He collapsed from just that?
Ye Ning was also a bit dumbfounded.
He hadn’t even exerted any force yet.
This ancient man’s face was really thin, he broke down from just this little bit?
He wasn’t satisfied yet, his gaze swept over the others.
Everyone lowered their heads.
Ye Ning scolded too harshly, especially since he stood on the moral high ground. Everyone already felt guilty, and many people were forced to yield out of helplessness. Where would they dare to argue with Ye Ning?
This made Ye Ning a little frustrated.
It seemed that he couldn’t rely on these people to kill him.
He picked the right time to jump out and provoke this group of people.
When immortals fight, mortals suffer, and he was deliberately seeking death!
As long as he died, he would immediately become a heavenly emperor!
Ye Ning had already figured it out. If someone killed him today, he would definitely repay them well in the future.
Unfortunately, all the civil and military officials were useless, not daring to kill him.
His eyes rolled around, looking at the six kings.
Especially King Cao Meng of Wei, who was holding the sword, was his primary target.
“Drawing your sword openly during the court meeting, are you trying to assassinate the king?”
Ye Ning was bold and imposing, challenging once again.
