Opening an office in Taila

As soon as these words were spoken, all the contestants smiled happily. After all, this way, everyone had the opportunity to compete for the Imperial Guard.

Song Yufeng stepped aside and said, "Mr. Xiao, when did you become involved with the Emperor?"

"My father was the Heavenly Master of the Yan Nation in his early years. However, as a Heavenly Master, he was not only responsible for national security and military operations, but also for teaching others swordsmanship. In the past, His Majesty, the Prince, and other members of the royal family were all my father's disciples. In the early years, including several Yanwu wars, my young father also made countless contributions. If we trace back to our ancestors, the achievements are even more remarkable. From the Hundred Clan Rebellion to the killing of the gods, my ancestors followed the True Dragon and made great contributions."

"Your ancestors must have been very strong."

"That's for sure. It's said that the first ancestor of the Xiao family, Xiao Yanghua, was able to slay gods on his own and ultimately attain sainthood in his mortal form. Of course, this is just a legend, and no one has ever been able to prove it. But one thing is certain: this sword technique of using force to stop war was created by Xiao Yanghua, and it has been passed down to this day, with only one move lost."

"That's such a pity."

"That's right. Every time I think of this, I feel regretful. The so-called last move may very well be the key to killing gods and becoming a saint." Old Master Xiao sighed.

Song Yufeng sighed inwardly. Alas, it had been lost. Speaking of which, Old Master Xiao had lost his own son. If he hadn't met him, would this sword technique have been completely lost?

As the only successor of Grandpa Xiao, I should indeed go all out and learn all of Grandpa Xiao's moves.

"Okay, everyone, you can go back and get ready. Everyone will gather at the camp gate at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. You will take the Imperial Guard qualification test, but..." The emperor looked at Song Yufeng and Old Man Xiao, then said, "Xiao Yichen and Song Yufeng, you don't need to take the test. I will give you another task."

I guess, is this the rhythm of opening a backdoor for us?

For a moment, Song Yufeng seemed to feel several envious eyes looking at him.

Song Yufeng couldn't help but sigh that it was easier to get things done when you had someone in power. If he wasn't already Mr. Xiao's apprentice, he would probably have to take part in this Imperial Guards test.

But, what is this other mission, and I don't know what it is?

Then, everyone dispersed, and at Song Yufeng's invitation, Mr. Xiao moved into Song Yufeng's villa.

As soon as he entered the room, Old Master Xiao frowned. He looked around at the interior decoration of the villa, then looked at the maids, then shook his head. After he and Song Yufeng entered the room together, Old Master Xiao said to Song Yufeng: "The emperor has other intentions."

"What does this mean?" Song Yufeng asked.

"Those maids are not simple. I'm afraid they are the emperor's surveillance."

"I know this, Mr. Xiao. I am very cautious and I am on guard against them." Song Yufeng said with a smile.

"Also, there's something wrong with the layout of this house."

"Could this be Feng Shui?" This touched upon Song Yufeng's blind spot in knowledge, and it was no longer something that could be solved by being cautious.

"Just now I saw a small fountain in the middle of your yard. It looks like a fountain, but to me, the underground cavity is no different from a well. This is water breaking the center of the sky. Looking inside the room, the kitchen is surprisingly located in the center of the entire first floor. This is fire burning the center of the sky. The Gen position is missing a corner. The street directly in front of the house is in an inverted bow shape, which is a sickle evil. In addition, there are many other feng shui issues. In short, this place cannot be lived in for a long time."

This actually frightened Song Yufeng. Although Song Yufeng had never believed this, it was clear that there were gods in this world, so it was hard to say whether this metaphysical theory was true or not.

"So, Mr. Xiao, what do you think?"

"Don't be anxious, Song Yufeng, let me take a look at your fate first." Old Master Xiao stepped forward, looked at Song Yufeng's palm and face, and asked about his birth date. However, the more he looked, the uglier Old Master Xiao's expression became.

"Strange, strange! Why is he like this when he's clearly already dead? No, no, could it be..." Old Master Xiao suddenly looked at Song Yufeng and said, "Song Yufeng... you... no, it's okay, it's okay. You don't have to worry about these Feng Shui things. These Feng Shui things can't hurt you at all."

"Really? Why?"

"Your fate is special, so don't worry about it." Old Master Xiao sighed, then said: "Let's go, find a spacious place, and I will teach you other moves."

Although Song Yufeng didn't know what Old Man Xiao was up to, he knew that Old Man Xiao would definitely not harm him, so he naturally didn't ask him what kind of fate he had seen.

The two came to the backyard. Although there was a swimming pool here, the entire venue was still very spacious.

"To practice the first form well, you must first master the basic skills. So, I will first teach you a prelude to the first form. It will be used to assist the first form. Do you see the tree in front?"

"Saw."

"Keep your eyes on the topmost point of that tree."

Song Yufeng did as he was told immediately.

"Okay, in a moment, you'll see a series of hallucinations, but you can't look sideways. No matter what happens, make sure you keep your eyes fixed on the top of the tree. Wait until the hallucination ends, and then tell me how many times I've placed stones on the top of the tree."

"No way, is it another hallucination?" Song Yufeng felt that he could hardly distinguish between reality and hallucination.

"Having a clear mind is crucial. Practicing it now will benefit you in the future."

"Okay, come on, Mr. Xiao, I can handle it!"
