Open the door, fellow countryman, we are one.

Chapter 15 Master and Disciple
Spring of the 564th year of the Yu Dynasty.

The spring rain continued, everything burst into life, but the palace once again underwent drastic changes.

Li Changle really didn't give Li Qian too much time, and only allowed him to stabilize the situation so that it didn't get worse.

The two later generations who stood at the pinnacle of the Yu Dynasty are finally going to decide the winner.

The disciples of Jiange who had been hiding for a long time, the people from Zuihonglou, and the people from Shadow all surfaced at this moment.

The two stood above the palace, gazing at each other from afar. Li Qian's expression was gloomy. "Royal sister, are you seriously planning to usurp the throne? A woman ruling the country has never happened before!"

"Don't you think it's ridiculous to say this between you and me? You know whether there are women in power or not."

Li Changle had completely changed her usual aloof demeanor. Dragon roars emanated from her body. She had already reached the eighth level, and her majestic aura swept out. "I will become the first empress of this world!"

She no longer hid herself, she was domineering and arrogant, and underneath her Taoist robe she had changed into a golden dragon robe.

Li Qian's face looked ugly. Both of them were from later generations, so they naturally knew whether there were women in power or not.

There is no such thing in the current Only Real World, but there has been an empress in the history of Blue Star!

"In that case, then, let me see your skills!"

At Li Qian's command, the armored army surged forward.

The cold blade, the eerie cold light, and the blood once again dyed the Xuanwu Gate red.

At this moment, thirty-six silver needles flew out, piercing through dozens of soldiers, and the invisible true energy pulled the silk thread back.

Sword shadows covered the sky and the earth in the blink of an eye, and a figure in white stood in the army with a sword.

A black-robed figure shuttled through the army, and every time it flashed, dozens of people died.

Gu Hongyan from Zuihonglou, the Sword Master of Feixian Sword from Jiange, and the Lord of Shadow all appeared.

The three top people in the world all stood on Li Changle's side.

"What a great eldest princess, three top talents." The prince's aura surged, and the energy of heaven and earth gathered together.

He also displayed the most powerful aura in the world.

Of course, he and Li Changle had only just entered the eighth level and were far inferior to people like Gu Hongyan.

Eunuch Cao had a cold look in his eyes. He hid behind the distant palace wall and listened quietly to the fighting in the distance.

After waiting for so long, the three major forces finally appeared.

"Hmm?" He frowned slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "Didn't I tell you not to come near?"

A middle-aged eunuch kowtowed respectfully and said, "I, your servant, follow the orders of Eunuch Youdao to ask the old ancestor to come."

"Is there a way?" Eunuch Cao was startled, his eyes gleaming even colder. "You invite our poor disciple here? You really deserve to be killed!"

A slender soft sword was unsheathed in an instant, like a cold star, arriving in an instant.

The middle-aged eunuch was horrified and said hurriedly, "If your disciple is not around in the future, someone will come looking for you. Old Ancestor, have you forgotten?"

Han Xing paused, and Eunuch Cao's expression changed drastically: "How did you know this?"

"That's what Eunuch Youdao ordered. We'll know once we go there." The middle-aged eunuch said hurriedly, "The fighting won't end anytime soon. We'll have time to go there."

"Where?" Eunuch Cao asked coldly.

"The Third Prince's bedroom." The middle-aged eunuch whispered.

Eunuch Cao's eyes flashed, and his figure disappeared, like a ghost. In a moment, he crossed the battlefield and arrived at the palace of the third prince.

The palace door was wide open, but he didn't rush in. He just looked inside.

Inside the palace, singers danced, piano music played melodiously, and there was fine wine and delicious food, forming two extremes with the battlefield.

"Master, since you are here, why don't you come in? Are you worried about an ambush?" Li Yi smiled softly: "You underestimated your disciple."

Eunuch Cao's face was solemn. He was very familiar with this voice, but it came from the third prince's mouth.

He entered the palace. Xiao Huan stopped dancing and came to Li Yi's side. "Your Highness, Third Prince, why are you playing this joke on me? I'm just a eunuch. I wouldn't dare. I don't know when I became your Highness's master," Eunuch Cao said in a deep voice.

"That winter, snowflakes were falling. Li Youdao killed sixteen extraordinary people. Master was very happy."

Li Yi said slowly, "He once promised to give Master a quiet place to live and nurture him until his death, so that he could enjoy eternal peace."

Eunuch Cao gripped his sword tightly, his fingers turning white. "Your Highness has truly concealed this from everyone. These words were spoken privately between my family and Youdao. Youdao is actually your man."

"Li Youdao and I are like brothers. Everything he learned, he taught me." Li Yi said, "So, it is not an exaggeration for me to call you Master."

"Then why did the Third Prince call us here?" Eunuch Cao's eyes were cold and unmoved. "The three most powerful men have already entered the palace and are standing beside the eldest princess. Don't you think it's too late for the Third Prince's matter to be exposed?"

"Not too late, not at all." A brocade box appeared in Li Yi's hand: "This is the second most valuable treasure in Qianji Pavilion."

Xiaohuan took it respectfully and presented it to Eunuch Cao.

Eunuch Cao frowned and opened the treasure box. There were only some letters and a plum blossom inside.

He looked at them one by one and fell silent.

“Master once said that he missed the plum blossoms in the village, so every winter, I would have someone pick one.

The people in the village live well. They have no worries about food and drink, and they are protected by the Qianji Pavilion. They remember the Master's kindness.

Li Yi waved his hand: "Everyone, leave."

"Your Highness." Xiaohuan and others looked worried.

"It's okay, Eunuch Cao is a man who values ​​love." Li Yi said lightly.

Now that he has reached the pinnacle, Eunuch Cao cannot kill him with a single blow, and he has only a secret passage to leave the palace.

Xiaohuan led everyone away, and they were the only ones left in the palace.

"You long to return to the village, but my cruel father will not let you leave."

Li Yi said calmly: "From today on, you are free."

"Freedom?" Eunuch Cao sneered, "How can we not be free?"

"Why do we have to go through so much trouble between you and me? You've said more than once that you're old and want to enjoy your grandchildren. You've stained your hands with too many lives, and you can't sleep peacefully."

Li Yi said: "Master, I will give you this opportunity."

"Do you think you can win? We really don't know what bargaining chips you have." Eunuch Cao frowned.

"With Emperor Yu gone, you are free. I have erased all traces of the village. Even if Li Changle succeeds, she won't be able to find the village."

"She can't win either." Eunuch Cao said coldly.

"Father, he thought he was hiding well." Li Yi laughed and said, "Master, why don't we see if my eldest sister can slay the dragon."

"You..." Eunuch Cao's face finally changed, his eyes full of shock. The Third Prince actually found out about Emperor Yu.

"You still have decades to live, thanks to God's will."

Li Yi said softly, "He really wants us to die and wants everyone to decide the outcome. He's so old, yet he still clings to military power."

"Since you know that the military power is in the hands of His Majesty, you should not expose it." Eunuch Cao said in a deep voice, with a hint of complexity in his tone.

"There are fifty-four cabinets in the Qianji Pavilion, and each cabinet corresponds to a treasure. Your village ranks second."

"What about number one?"

"You'll know soon." Li Yi said calmly, "Master, you can leave. We are master and disciple once. As long as you don't stop me, we will have fulfilled our master-disciple relationship."

"That's all?"

"That's all!"
