Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

Shangguan Mufeng's surprised demeanor vanished completely.

Is his master really only thirty-nine years old?

Qin Yu had heard of this martial arts technique years ago.

This technique can preserve one's appearance.

Qin Yu calmly uttered four words.

"Only frivolous methods."

Upon hearing this, the sect leader of Penglai Sect clapped his hands.

"Your Highness is indeed clever; it is indeed this technique."

While this technique can maintain one's appearance, it also has drawbacks.

The downside is that one will experience excruciating pain on the night of the full moon.

Qin Yu inquired about the name of the sect leader of the Penglai Sect.

"Maple Moon".

Hearing the name, Qin Yu suddenly felt that this sect sounded like a woman's sect.

Could it be that the sect leader and the Shadow Hall leader are both women disguised as men?

"I know what Your Highness wants to ask. I am a man, and this name is just a name. The name is not important. What is important is that I am the sect leader of Penglai Sect, isn't that right?"

Qin Yu listened and thought that what the sect leader of Penglai Sect said made sense.

As dusk approached, Qin Yu glanced at the sect leader.

"As night deepens, why don't you stay at my residence tonight, Sect Leader? What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, the sect leader of Penglai Sect was quite blunt.

"Your Highness's invitation is kindly extended, and I naturally accept."

The sect leader of Penglai Sect developed some interest in Qin Yu.

Unfortunately, I now have to go back and deal with these old rascals.

After all, these old rascals have been urging him to take on disciples.

Even after telling these old rascals that he had already taken on disciples, they still didn't believe him.

But they insisted that he take his disciple back before it would count.

The sect leader of Penglai Sect had no other choice but to seek out Shangguan Mufeng.

When he taught Shangguan Mufeng, he only hoped that Shangguan Mufeng would have the skills to defend himself.

The reason why I am now teaching Shangguan Mufeng kung fu is very simple.

The goal was to deceive them and make them all believe that Shangguan Mufeng was his direct disciple.

Shangguan Mufeng saw the sect leader of Penglai Sect standing under the pear blossom tree.

Unable to resist, he walked up to the sect leader.

"The sect leader is standing here so late at night, could it be because he can't sleep?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, the Penglai Sect Master turned to look at Shangguan Mufeng.

Would you be willing to become my direct disciple?

Hearing the words "direct disciple".

Shangguan Mufeng's eyes widened.

"Are you really willing to accept me as your direct disciple?"

The meaning of being a direct disciple is simply to pass on all the knowledge and skills one has acquired throughout one's life to him.

He still hoped that the person in front of him would think twice before acting.

“I haven’t taken on many disciples, you are my only disciple, and you have quite a bit of talent, so I am willing to pass on all my knowledge to you.”

Shangguan Mufeng knelt down with a thud.

"Master, please bow to me, my disciple."

The sect leader of Penglai personally helped Shangguan Mufeng up.

"If you become my personal disciple, you will become the new sect leader of Penglai in the future."

Then he told Shangguan Mufeng all the pros and cons of the matter.

The two talked late into the night by candlelight.

Qin Yu overheard their conversation clearly.

But Qin Yu didn't seem to care at all.

Qin Yu only hoped that Shangguan Mufeng would become more and more powerful, so that he would be able to marry the girl he liked.

Perhaps it's because Shangguan Mufeng has never harmed Qin Yu.

Qin Yucai hopes that he can find a good man.

Chunfeng looked at Shangguan Mufeng, her eyes glistening with tears.

Qin Yu happened to be passing by and saw Chunfeng secretly crying.

Qin Yu was a little confused, thinking that the maid had bullied Chunfeng.

Surprisingly, no one bullied Chunfeng.

Why are you crying here?

"It's nothing, Your Highness, just some sand in my eyes."

There's no wind at all this night, so how could sand possibly get into my eyes?

Qin Yu was surprised that even Chunfeng was unwilling to tell her the truth.

"If anyone bullies you, you should definitely sue me, and I will stand up for you."

"Your Highness, I feel that I have fallen in love with Young Master Shangguan."

Qin Yu was surprised for a moment.

Unexpectedly, Chunfeng fell in love with Shangguan Mufeng.

"I will go and test whether Shangguan Mufeng has any feelings for you."

Qin Yu's mind-reading ability was ineffective against Shangguan Mufeng.

Since mind-reading is ineffective, we must try another method.

Chunfeng had been by Qin Yu's side for many years.

Qin Yu had long regarded Chunfeng as her own sister.

Moreover, in her previous life, Chunfeng also died saving Qin Yu.

Although many things have changed in this life compared to the previous one, there are still similarities.

Qin Yu understood that Chunfeng genuinely cared for her well-being.

Naturally, Qin Yu would worry about Chunfeng's marriage.

In the dead of night, Qin Yu noticed that the light in Shangguan Mufeng's room was still on.

Qin Yu personally went to Shangguan Mufeng's door and knocked on it.

Shangguan Mufeng sensed someone opening the door, but it turned out to be Qin Yu.

He bowed respectfully to Qin Yu.

Shangguan Mufeng was extremely puzzled as to why Qin Yu had come to this place at this time.

"I would like to have a talk with you. Would Young Master Shangguan be willing?"

"I would be delighted if Your Highness wished to speak with me."

Shangguan Mufeng then made a gesture of invitation.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Shangguan Mufeng was Qin Yu's male favorite.

Now, it would be perfectly acceptable for Qin Yu to enter Shangguan Mufeng's room.

Shangguan Mufeng personally poured tea for Qin Yu.

"I wonder why Your Highness has come here at this time."

"I would like to ask you, do you have someone you admire?"

Someone he admired? Shangguan Mufeng turned his gaze to Qin Yu.

He thought carefully about his feelings for Qin Yu.

For a moment, it was hard to tell the difference.

"I……"

Looking at Shangguan Mufeng's hesitant manner.

Qin Yu was getting impatient.

"How can a man be so indecisive these days, either having it or not?"

"Your Highness, I love you."

A hint of determination lingered in Shangguan Mufeng's eyes.

When Qin Yu heard this, his expression changed instantly.

No one had ever imagined that Shangguan Mufeng would like Qin Yu.

“I remember that I brought you into the princess’s residence and then I never paid any attention to you.”

"Who wouldn't admire the princess's exceptional beauty?"

People in this world say that women are inferior to men.

But in Qin Yu's case, one can see that women are like men.

How could Shangguan Mufeng not like this?

Qin Yu heard everything that happened inside the house from outside the door.

I never imagined that Qin Yu would be liked by Shangguan Mufeng.

"There is no possibility between us."

Qin Yu then stood up, displeased.

He left without even turning his head.

After Qin Yu left, Shangguan Mufeng slumped to the ground in despair.

A faint floral fragrance floats in the air.

The fragrance of these flowers is a remnant of Qin Yu.

Shangguan Mufeng knew that he would never be able to return to the princess's residence in this lifetime.
