My husband, please respect yourself. The princess is here to grab the bride.

"no,"

He Xiaofeng finally stood up straight, his arms still folded. He looked at Lao Yu and asked:

"Aren't you afraid he'll hear you? Could it be that he's entered the legendary realm of emptiness and clarity?"

Old Yu picked up the teacup and drank the cold tea in one gulp, then said:

"Bullshit, empty and clear realm!"

"You've been practicing your He family's internal skills since you were a child. Tell me, have you ever entered the state of emptiness and clarity?"

He Xiaofeng curled his lips and said, "Not even once."

"That's it. With so many people in the martial arts world, how many of them can have the great opportunity to enter the realm of emptiness and clarity?"

He Xiaofeng agreed with this and looked at Bai Shaoqiu, who was still breathing slowly with his eyes closed, and muttered doubtfully:

"But he really didn't open his eyes or even move... It's strange."

"What's so strange? He just fell asleep."

He Xiaofeng was stunned: "Can you fall asleep while sitting?"

"Who said you have to sleep lying down?"

"..."

He Xiaofeng was speechless again.

Old Yu leaned over and looked at Bai Shaoqiu again from a close distance. After a moment, he turned his head to look at the backyard.

There was a clanging sound of blacksmithing coming from the backyard.

"What's he going to do?"

He Xiaofeng spread his hands and said, "I'm just a doorman. He said a doorman should have the awareness of a doorman. Don't ask about the young master's affairs."

Old Yu suddenly laughed, stood up, shook his head, and limped out of the pavilion.

He Xiaofeng also took two steps forward and asked Lao Yu again:

"Uncle Yu, does he have a talent for martial arts?"

Old Yu stopped and pondered for three breaths: "He is a martial arts genius rarely seen in a century!"

He Xiaofeng was stunned.

He didn't even notice that after saying this, Lao Yu quickened his pace and left the Princess Mansion!

He stared in amazement at Bai Shaoqiu, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, and suddenly realized that he, as the doorman, needed to change his attitude towards this young master.

Like… following his orders.

What if one day he becomes a top-level master? Wouldn't that mean I'll be holding on to an invincible thigh?

Looking around the world, in such a vast world, there are only a handful of masters who have achieved the first level of enlightenment!

This guy……

He Xiaofeng took a breath of cold air, Lao Yu, a master below the first rank!

The most sensational thing he had done in his life was not that he fought his way in and out of the barbarian army three times and rescued the King of Zhenxi!

But...

In order to break through the bottleneck of the first rank when he was thirty years old, he visited many sects in the world!

He spent five years challenging many masters from those sects!

With a perfect record, he won the unique martial arts secrets of those sects!

But in the end he still failed to break through to the first level.

After that, there were no more legends about Lao Yu in the world.

Some people said that Lao Yu was killed by those martial arts sects and his body was abandoned in the wilderness.

Some people also said that Lao Yu went crazy and exploded to death when he was breaking through the first level.

Some people also said that Lao Yu fell in love with a young and beautiful girl. He took the girl out of the world and lived a leisurely life in a small village at the foot of a mountain, where men farmed and women weaved.

Seventeen years have passed since Lao Yu left the world!

The legend of the quick sword Lao Yu is still spread in the martial arts world, but no one knows that Lao Yu came to Xiling City and became a... doorman in the Zhenxi Palace!

This is what his father told him.

Because my father said that he came to Xiling City with Lao Yu in the winter seventeen years ago.

Occasionally, Lao Yu would go to the second floor of the Yingou Casino to sit.

My father would put everything aside and sit with Lao Yu.

The two of them can drink three kilograms of wine with a plate of peanuts!

After drinking, Lao Yu left in a leisurely manner. His drunken father would occasionally call him over to tell him some stories from the past.

"Remember this, there are only a few people in this world who are worthy of your father's respect, and your Uncle Yu is definitely one of them!"

"Your Uncle Yu is not only a martial arts expert, but he also has an excellent eye for people!"

"He never makes mistakes... Unfortunately, your talent is limited and you can't become his last disciple."

He Xiaofeng remembered these words deeply in his mind.

Uncle Yu just said that Bai Shaoqiu is a martial arts prodigy rarely seen in a century...

Then he must be a martial arts genius rarely seen in a century!

Although he is nearly eighteen years old, when it comes to martial arts, what really determines one's level is not diligence, but talent!

He Xiaofeng swallowed his saliva, returned to the pavilion, and leaned against the pillar again.

He still looked at Bai Shaoqiu, feeling very envious, and changed his original nonchalant attitude.

Wait for Bai Shaoqiu to wake up!

Ask him who the two people he wants to kill are!

Kill it for him!

Hold on tight to the thighs of this future top-level master!

In this way, one stood and the other sat cross-legged, and two hours passed unknowingly.

Bai Shaoqiu opened his eyes.

The sun is shining brightly.

He narrowed his eyes again.

My crossed legs felt a little numb, and my injured left leg didn't hurt as much as it did yesterday. Thinking about it carefully, it must be the herbal medicine that Zou Kongqing applied that took effect.

Because of this Qi training thing... he didn't produce any Qi sensation in his Dantian.

He even felt that he fell asleep between those breaths.

It seemed like I had a dream, but when I woke up I couldn’t remember what I dreamed about.

He Xiaofeng had already walked over. "Um... Young Master, who are the two people you want to kill?"

Bai Shaoqiu was stunned and looked up, "What? The doorman wants to be a killer too?"

He Xiaofeng smiled awkwardly: "I have nothing else to do, so why not kill two people for the young master?"

Bai Shaoqiu looked at He Xiaofeng for ten breaths and said, "The Bai Mansion is my old home. There are two people living there. Go and help me kill them!"

He Xiaofeng was startled: "Master, those two people left a long time ago."

“…left?”

"To be precise, those two left the day before the young master was assassinated."

"how do you know?"

"This...I heard it from the prince when my father brought me to the palace."

"The prince wants to avenge the young master. The young master doesn't have many enemies, and the man who bought your Bai Mansion cheaply was naturally listed as a suspect by the prince. He sent people to investigate, and I happened to hear about it when my father and I met with the prince."

Bai Shaoqiu seemed to be thinking:

"Oh... he left, what a coincidence?"

"Surely, it's been five days since they left Xiling City, right?"

……

……

On the official road from Xiling City to Kyoto.

A carriage was speeding towards the capital Chang'an.

The person driving the car was not Yu Donglin, but Chen Sanchi.

Around noon, the carriage stopped in an open area with lush grass and water.

This place has left the territory of Xiling.

Someone is waiting here!

A small bronze mirror hung around the man's waist.

He looked extremely nervous!

Chen Sanchi took a look and immediately frowned.

The bronze mirror user hurried forward and bowed, "Sir..."

The carriage door opened.

Shang Shan got off the carriage, holding a folding fan in his hand, and stretched his waist, which had become a little stiff from sitting. Then he looked at the bronze mirror user, and raised the corner of his mouth:

"It seems that the assassination attempt on Bai Shaoqiu has failed?"

The Bronze Mirror Envoy did not know this young master, but looking at Xingguo, the person who could make the Golden Mirror Envoy drive his carriage... this young man must have an extremely high status!

What's more, he knew about this secret assassination!

He quickly bowed to Shang Shan again and whispered, "This subordinate deserves death... The mission failed... Bai Shaoqiu was seriously injured... but not dead!"

Shangshan looked up and squinted his eyes at the bright sun in the sky.

Not another word was said.

He shook the folding fan in his hand, turned around and got back into the carriage, closing the door with a clang.
