The Great Tang Dynasty: The Celestial Master Descends the Mountain, Starts by Being Deceived into Ma

Lu Jinghe quickly walked to the side of the tongueless eunuch, put his arm around his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Your name is Wushe, sir?"

"Um...Young Master Lu, please have some self-respect."

Who is this person? They come up to him and put their arm around his shoulder right away. What kind of behavior is this!

Wu She criticized Lu Jinghe in her heart, but she was also very happy.

This person is very different from those others; he doesn't seem to look down on himself.

He was a eunuch, and ordinary people would keep their distance from him. Even if they wanted to get some information from him to curry favor, they wouldn't be so close, putting their arms around each other's shoulders.

"Hey, we're all men, what's there to be so formal about? Don't act like a timid little woman."

Lu Jinghe waved his hand dismissively, "Why bother caring so much?"

Wu She lowered his head, unsure of what to say. He said he was a man...

I really don't know what to say. Princess Gaoyang should be very happy marrying this kind of person. Judging from their relationship, they get along quite well. I hope this young master Lu can pass His Majesty's test.

"Hey, Eunuch Wu She, His Majesty summoned you to pick us up. Did he say anything? Give us a hint."

"Young Master Lu, instead of trying to curry favor with me, why don't you go and keep His Highness company? Is it proper for you to be putting your arm around me as soon as you enter the palace?"

"Forget it, your prince doesn't need me to accompany him." Lu Jinghe shook his head. They are not engaged yet, and in the eyes of outsiders, they are strangers.

Before entering the palace, Lu Jinghe maintained a certain distance from Gao Yang and Qing Wu, let alone now that he has entered the palace.

How many eyes are clashing in the palace? If he acts too close to Gao Yang, what will become of her reputation?

Lu Jinghe didn't care, but he couldn't let Gao Yang get hurt, although judging from Gao Yang's expression, she probably wouldn't care too much either.

If I cared, I wouldn't have climbed into his bed.

But that shouldn't give those scheming people any ammunition to cause trouble.

This girl has given herself to him, so he has to protect her well.

If he doesn't protect it properly, won't all his cultivation be for nothing?

Does it live up to the "Supreme Pure Spirit Immortal Transformation Technique" in your mind?

"How could you not know that if I get too close to Your Highness now, it will ruin her reputation?" Lu Jinghe asked with a soft laugh as he sat next to Wu She.

Wu She was startled. He felt a chill down his spine. Lu Jinghe's tone was clearly cheerful, so why did it sound so eerie to him?

"Ahem..." Wu She coughed lightly and said solemnly, "Congratulations, Young Master Lu, on passing His Majesty's first test."

"Huh?" Lu Jinghe was taken aback. He had just tried a scary little spell to make Wu She behave and not trick him into doing anything bad that would hurt Gao Yang. He didn't expect it to burst out like this.

Lu Jinghe laughed and said, "Eunuch Wu She, His Majesty probably didn't ask you to say that, did he?"

"Cough cough..." Wu She rolled her eyes. This kid is so insensible. He should have just swallowed those words. How could he ask them out loud!

They really don't understand.

"I have served Your Majesty for many years and I know the rules of the palace by heart."

"I know what should and shouldn't be said, and besides, I didn't say anything just now. What do you mean by asking that, young master?"

"To slander my innocence out of thin air is not the act of a gentleman."

A gentleman? What is a gentleman? He is a celestial master!

Lu Jinghe found it amusing and continued teasingly, "I understand, I understand everything."

"Nothing is permissible unless authorized by law, and everything is permissible unless prohibited by law."

"I understand, I understand."

When Lu Jinghe said this, Wu Sheren was dumbfounded, and he felt a chill run down his spine.

If His Majesty heard this, he might not do anything to Lu Jinghe, after all, he is his son-in-law.

But he might be a different story; he's just a eunuch, someone who can be replaced at any time.

"Young master, you can't say such things carelessly. The only law in the Great Tang Dynasty is our Emperor."

"Yes, I know, I know."

I don't think you know anything at all!

Wu She wanted to curse, what kind of attitude was that? He was trying to help him, what if he said the wrong thing and the imperial decree for the marriage wouldn't come through?

When he came out, the Empress told him to vet this prospective son-in-law.

It's obvious that it's already settled, and as far as he knows, Princess Gaoyang didn't return to the palace last night, which means they were most likely together last night.

This is definitely going to work out. But if chatting with him leads Lu Jinghe to say something inappropriate that could ruin the marriage, then we're doomed.

He already had to be careful in the palace. If he ruined Gao Yang's marriage, how could he possibly have a good outcome?

A pampered princess who has always acted arrogantly has taken a grudge against him. Good heavens, just thinking about it is unbearable.

Even if they don't die, they'll be tortured half to death and won't have a good life.

His position would attract countless eunuchs who would want to take it if Li Shimin were to express his dislike for him, not to mention the princess who also disliked him and was on his side.

Wu She dared not speak recklessly, and fearing that Lu Jinghe might say something strange again, she quickly advised, "Young Master Lu, please let me go... If His Majesty and the Empress ask about it in the future, I will definitely speak well of you."

"I'm old and a eunuch, I can't handle any more shocks. If you keep talking like that, I'm afraid I'll be scared to death."

"Hahaha." Lu Jinghe burst into laughter, startling Wu She into a daze.

Lu Jinghe quickly said, "Don't be afraid, Eunuch Wu She, there's no need to worry about those things."

"It's normal that you might not know my identity, since I gave it to myself."

"What kind of identity..." The tongueless eunuch felt that he shouldn't have come. Wouldn't it have been better to just send a little eunuch and kill him after the deed was done?

You insisted on showing up to show your face! How could you be so stupid!

Seeing Wu She's originally happy face turn into one of utter despair, Lu Jinghe smiled and explained, "Master."

"Master of Taoist Arts, I know a lot of things."

"Just like just now, no one could have heard our conversation."

"If you don't believe me, shout 'Your Highness the Princess' right now and see if she reacts."

"Huh?" Wu She didn't understand. What did it mean to know a lot of things?

I can't hear anything. Does this world really have magic?

Should we shout? Won't that offend Her Highness the Princess...?

"Don't worry, just shout." Lu Jinghe noticed that Wu She was a little scared and assured him, "I'll take the blame if anything happens."

"I hope you can really handle it," Wu She thought to herself, but still managed to shout it out.

"Your Highness! Can you hear me talking to Young Master Lu?"

"Your Highness! Your Highness!"

Gao Yang followed behind, whispering to Qing Wu, completely ignoring Wu She.

It's confirmed that he has no tongue; he simply can't hear!

Could this Young Master Lu be a living deity?

Lu Jinghe was somewhat dissatisfied. He had originally thought that Wu She would directly call out the name plus "Your Highness".

It's a bit of a shame that I only got to call him "Your Highness" and didn't get to know his real name.

Alas, the trap failed.

"Young Master Lu, we are almost at the Lizheng Hall. His Majesty and the Empress are waiting for you inside. I wish you good luck."

Thanks.
