"Wu Tian!"

"Wu Tian!"

"Wu Tian!"

While the Emperor and Empress of the Qin Country were beside themselves with rage, the citizens in the royal city of the Xiuyuan Country erupted in cheers.

Wu Tian raised a hand, signaling for silence. The crowd quieted down immediately.

Only City Lord Guang still stared at Wu Tian, his expression dazed. He had already guessed Wu Tian’s true identity, but he dared not say it aloud. After a moment of hesitation, he stepped forward. "A country cannot go a single day without a ruler. I wonder if you..."

"No." Wu Tian knew what the City Lord was about to say. He cut him off, rejecting the offer instantly.

After a moment’s thought, he looked at Si’er. "Isn’t there someone right here?"

Everyone turned to look at Si’er, their eyes wide with astonishment.

Some of the great scholars showed their displeasure. In this world, the teachings of Confucius and Mencius also held sway. Perhaps they too had come here after their deaths. They recalled the sayings: Confucius for benevolence, Mencius for righteousness. With this in mind, even though the scholars were aware of Wu Tian’s fearsome power, they still gritted their teeth to protest. "Absolutely not."

"Yes, it is truly improper."

"A woman as king? This... this is utterly heretical!"

"Indeed, it cannot be done."

A woman? In this world, while their status might be high, the throne seemed to be beyond their reach. Even if there had been Empresses in the past, the ingrained preference for men had never changed.

Wu Tian’s eyes turned cold. "Did you not hear me clearly? Do I need to repeat myself?"

A chilling glint filled his eyes as a destructive aura descended once more. Under its pressure, it felt as though all living things would be annihilated. Many were terrified.

"Tell me," Wu Tian asked again, "who has an opinion now about Si’er becoming Queen?"

Thunder rumbled through the space, and arcs of lightning crackled through the air. Everyone’s breathing grew tense.

The great scholars exchanged glances, seeing only raw fear in each other’s eyes.

One of the scholars, terrified, immediately dropped to one knee. "We believe in treating everyone equally and educating all without distinction... a woman... as king... is also acceptable."

Once one had yielded, a second quickly followed. Another scholar, filled with dread, quickly agreed.

"Indeed, a woman can be king!"

"Women are generally more meticulous than men. Perhaps this will be beneficial for the affairs of state."

"Right, right, right."

Finally, all the great scholars had bowed to his will.

This scene left the citizens of the royal city even more profoundly shocked. They never imagined such a method could be used to intimidate the pedantic old scholars. Yet, they didn’t find Wu Tian’s methods cruel; on the contrary, they thought it was brilliant! These scholars always acted as if they were right and everyone else was wrong. They preached that if your grandfather was a street sweeper, you must also be a street sweeper; trying to make a living in business was considered a betrayal of your ancestors. If someone felt they had no affinity for ink and books and wanted to focus on martial practice, they too were scorned by the scholars.

Wu Tian looked at Si’er and asked, "Can you do it?"

Who on earth is this person?
