Wu Ming played matchmaker: Xu Qingxiao to marry the Female Emperor? The Six Ministries and Dukes erupted!

Central Continent.

Haoran Kingdom.

Master Lü's voice brimmed with fury.

This time, he had truly been cheated-and not in some minor way. He had practically lost everything he had.

How could he not be enraged?

He had bargained with a tiger for its skin, only to bring about his own downfall. His will remained, but how was that any different from being dead?
