Huangxiu

Chapter 189 Secret
Seeing her smile, Xiao Ruoling couldn't help but smile too.

My master is too serious.

The beautiful face is tense all day long, as if she never smiles, which makes people feel inexplicably nervous and stressed.

Could this be the reason for practicing the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman Kung Fu?

Will I become like this in the future?

She felt inexplicably palpitating when she thought of this, and felt it was too terrifying.

When she thought of Chu Zhiyuan, she felt much more at ease.

With the help of his Qiong Hua Jiu Zhang Lu, her Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman Kung Fu was now gentle and peaceful, no longer as cold and gloomy as before.

When the aura changes, the whole person changes.

My mood becomes brighter and my complexion becomes rosy.

Although her skin was still as smooth and translucent as white jade, it had a more rosy color, with a hint of red in the white.

Zeng Yuan admired her good luck.

With the Nine Chapters of Qionghua, she is more confident of winning the position of Saint.

"Master, what kind of natural treasures are there in our secret place?"

"As for natural treasures..." Zeng Yuan took the white towel from the maid next to him and wiped his forehead: "There are quite a few. What do you want?"

Xiao Ruoling smiled and said, "Master, which one do you think I should look for?"

"You practice the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Kung Fu, which is aloof from worldly matters. These heavenly materials and earthly treasures have no effect on you. The best one is the Qionghua Nine Chapters Record."

Xiao Ruoling's deep and bright eyes flashed.

Zeng Yuan looked at her and shook his head, saying, "You are really lucky. Do you know why the Qionghua Jiuzhanglu was lost?"

"Doesn't the palace want to recruit male disciples anymore?"

"It's not that I don't want to, but it's useless to do so." Zeng Yuan snorted, "These inside stories are kept secret, so don't spread them out."

"Yes." Xiao Ruoling said.

"Don't tell me your son either."

"……Yes."

"If Yaoyue Palace loses face, you will also lose face." Zeng Yuan said, "Just like the reputation of Duke Anguo's Mansion is bad, wouldn't you be looked down upon by others, even your husband?"

"He won't."

"Isn't he a human being?" Zeng Yuan snorted, "If he is a human being, he will be like this. It is human nature to flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. It's just more or less. Some people can control it well and hide it well."

Xiao Ruoling did not refute.

But I don’t agree with it in my heart.

She felt that Chu Zhiyuan was arrogant and didn't care whether Yaoyue Palace was strong or weak, or whether Anguo Mansion was strong or weak.

Despite the situation in Prince Qing's Mansion, he did not seem to be troubled at all and remained calm and composed.

It comes from his unshakable belief in himself.

Zeng Yuan shook his head and said, "When I was young, I thought my ideal person was perfect in every way. But I didn't know that everyone has flaws. No one is that perfect. I just fell in love and was blinded by one thing."

Xiao Ruoling smiled and said, "Master has also fallen in love?"

"I have practiced the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman Kung Fu, but there is still no man in this world who can make my heart beat faster."

"Master, I also practiced the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman Kung Fu."

She was deeply attracted to the prince. She felt that he was like a shining light. When he stood in front of her, he blocked out the existence of everyone else, and only he could be seen.

"So you are lucky." Zeng Yuan snorted, "You met him before you became a Grandmaster, and he also mastered the Nine Chapters of Qionghua. Throughout history, there are only three or five disciples of Yaoyue Palace who are so lucky."

"We had the Qionghua Nine Chapters Record inherited in our palace."

"You can master it if you have inheritance?" Zeng Yuan snorted, "How naive!... Why don't you accept male disciples? Because all of them are trash. They will only bring shame to our Yaoyue Palace."

Xiao Ruoling nodded slowly and said, "I can't practice the Nine Chapters of Qionghua, and I have no other top-notch skills to practice. I am despised..."

"Ruoling!" Zeng Yuan glared at her.

Xiao Ruoling smiled embarrassedly: "I said something wrong."

She understood why Yaoyue Palace no longer accepted male disciples. The Qionghua Nine Chapters Record could only be practiced by men, but the male disciples who were recruited could not practice it, and they could not practice other top martial arts of Yaoyue Palace.

As a result, the situation of these male disciples became very embarrassing.

She simply stopped accepting male disciples, to avoid people saying that the female disciples of Yaoyue Palace cannot live without men, which would affect the reputation of Yaoyue Palace.

Zeng Yuan snorted, "Those who were recruited were all geniuses, but it is almost impossible to practice the Nine Chapters of Qionghua. Only he can do it."

The entire royal family knew that Chu Zhiyuan's comprehension was extremely rare in the world.

Since the creation of the Jade Lock and Golden Gate Technique, he is the only one who has truly mastered it.

The others are just getting started but haven’t really mastered it.

His progress was so rapid that it was no longer surprising that he had reached an incredible level.

Xiao Ruoling couldn't help but smile.

Zeng Yuan watched and shook his head secretly.

Among all the disciples of Yaoyue Palace in the past generations, among those who have mastered the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman Skill, has there been one who could fall in love like her?
"Master, I heard there is Tongtian grass in the secret place?"

"Tongtian grass... Yeah, there is this." Zeng Yuan asked, "Why, do you want to get Tongtian grass for him?"

"I heard that strengthening the meridians has miraculous effects, and some people have even become great masters through it."

"That's right."

Xiao Ruoling cheered up.

Zeng Yuan said: "But he only knew that the one who ate the Tongtian Grass became a Grandmaster, but he didn't know that this Grandmaster eventually committed suicide."

"what--?"

"It's best not to touch this Tongtian grass." Zeng Yuan said: "All the great masters have harmonious minds and are free and easy. That great master is the only one who committed suicide."

"Is there any other reason?"

"He stayed in seclusion all day and was said to be living in extreme pain, a life worse than death, and eventually committed suicide to find his final release."

Xiao Ruoling's expression changed slightly.

"Some spiritual medicines can be taken to help with cultivation. The power of this help must be below one's own ability, otherwise..." Zeng Yuan shook his head: "Any power that exceeds one's own ability will easily get out of control, and the out-of-control power will eventually kill oneself."

"Yes." Xiao Ruoling said solemnly.

"Of course, he can't be treated as an ordinary person." Zeng Yuan said.

Xiao Ruoling said: "So, let me see if I can find Tongtian Grass."

Whether to take it, how to take it, and whether a method can be found to eliminate the danger of Tongtian Grass will all be decided by Chu Zhiyuan.

"You can give it a try." Zeng Yuan said, "There are many Tongtian grasses in the secret place. Anyone who can compete for the Saint Girl knows this secret. Outsiders don't know this and think that Tongtian grass is such a good spiritual herb and treat it as a treasure."

Xiao Ruoling nodded slowly: "He heard the news from Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess of Dameng, and felt that he had to be on guard."

"Da Meng has always been eyeing Da Jing and collecting all the news about Da Jing. Especially since we are one of the four major sects, it is not surprising that they know this news, but she definitely does not know the harm of this Tongtian grass."

It is impossible for Yaoyue Palace to infiltrate Dameng’s secret agents.

"So, Her Highness the Ninth Princess didn't mean to harm me?"

"It's hard to say about this Ninth Prince." Zeng Yuan thought for a moment and said, "He has many tricks up his sleeve. We should be more cautious."

Xiao Ruoling felt the same way and said with emotion: "Last time..."

She told Zeng Yuan about the last time Li Hongzhao seduced Cheng Tianfeng. Zeng Yuan curled her lips and sneered, "Everyone in the old Cheng family is a pervert. If Dazhen wasn't talented enough, she would have changed her surname long ago!"

Xiao Ruoling showed a look of disgust.

She hated Cheng Tianfeng deeply.

Zeng Yuan said: "To be able to fight on equal terms with His Highness the Ninth Prince, your prince is no ordinary person."

Xiao Ruoling smiled immediately.

Her deep eyes sparkled as she imagined how she would get the Tongtian Grass.

At this time, Chu Zhiyuan was sitting in a room of the Supervisory Office with a serious expression, listening to Ma Tianhe talking about Prince Dalie.
