Anyone who knows Venerable Jiu knows that although his clothes look full of holes and patches, they are actually washed very clean. It is just his personal preference to dress slovenly on purpose.
However, at this time, Lord Jiu's clothes were in real tatters, with many burnt marks on them, making it almost impossible to cover his body.
The No. 1 spiritual master of Daqian was panting heavily and sweating profusely. Under the pressure of his opponent's powerful spiritual skills, he was in danger one after another and was in a state of embarrassment.
Even so, Lord Jiu's eyes still shone with unyielding light, showing no intention of shrinking back.
The long sword in his hand was corroded by the black spiritual mist, and the tip of the sword had been melted. The strange black spiritual power tried to penetrate the body of Lord Liquor through the blade, but was blocked by his powerful spiritual power.
"You can actually sustain it in my hand for so long." The Masked Spirit Master sighed in admiration, and he actually started to love talents. "I'm really reluctant to kill you. Do you want to worship me as your teacher?"
"There are brilliant martial arts, but no corresponding virtues." Master Jiu said loudly, "Shi is ashamed to be associated with you."
"That's such a pity." The masked spiritual master slowly raised his right hand, and the black spiritual mist gathered thicker and thicker in front of him, gradually condensing into a silhouette.
The silhouette's limbs became increasingly clear, and it turned into another masked spirit.
Looking at the two almost identical figures in front of him, Lord Jiu felt unprecedented pressure. He suddenly raised the sword in his hand, his eyes flashed, the sword made a buzzing sound, and his spiritual power turned into a huge one in front of him. The gourd actually looks very similar to the gourd that was crushed by the masked spiritual master.
The masked spirit master and the black spirit mist clone moved at the same time, flashing past the left and right in the air, turning into two black shadows, and shooting towards the wine master.
The face of Master Jiu was extremely solemn, and the spiritual gourd in front of him spurted out endless water, setting off huge waves and rushing towards the masked spiritual master.
Seeing that the huge wave was about to roll up two black shadows, bursts of light suddenly lit up in the distant sky, accompanied by the sound of "boom" explosions.
"It's just the right time." The Masked Spirit Master suddenly stopped, looked at the Wine Master and said slowly: "It seems that the contest between you and me will be left for another time."
"You want to run away?" The sword in Lord Jiu's hand was pointed at the masked spirit Lord.
"Wrong." The Masked Spirit Master shook his head, "It was this retreat signal that saved your life."
After saying that, his figure turned into a shadow and galloped away into the distance.
"Where to go!" Lord Jiu was not willing to give in, and he rushed to catch up. Suddenly, he saw an overwhelming spiritual mist coming in front of him. It was actually a bit stronger than the previous battle, and he released Lord Jiu in an instant. The gourd of spiritual energy that came out burned completely.
He actually hid his strength!
Master Jiu was shocked and turned pale. He instantly cut off his spiritual power and rolled back several times in an extremely awkward posture. He narrowly avoided the attack of the spiritual mist. He heard a burst of laughter from the distance: "Have a good time practicing, I hope you will." You can play with me for a while next time!"
Looking carefully again, the shadow of the masked spiritual master has long been lost in front of him.
The Wine Master stared blankly into the distance, feeling all kinds of things in his heart.
At the same time, above the imperial city, silhouettes of people were flying through the air and scattered in all directions.
The spiritual battles that originally broke out in every corner suddenly ceased with the signal light in the sky, and the entire imperial city returned to calm again, as if nothing had ever happened.
…
"Princess Bixiao" Li Xuefei is only seventeen years old. Because she is under age, she cannot have her own princess mansion yet, so she still lives in her father's Prince Li's mansion.
According to the custom of Daqian, a young girl like her who lives in a boudoir rarely has the opportunity to meet outsiders.
However, this kind of concept that restrains the common people is in vain for many truly wealthy children.
Just like she is doing now, kissing each other in the room with a young man, as long as Prince Li doesn't notice it, even if the servants in the mansion see it, they can only turn a blind eye.
After all, one is the princess of the royal palace, and the other is the second young master of the Xiao family. If he is resented by either of them for snitching, he will only be miserable in the future.
"Feifei, is this your specialty lotus seed soup?" Xiao Qingqing wrinkled his nose, a look of intoxication appeared on his handsome face, "It seems that I am in luck again, Princess Bixiao's lotus seed soup, then But it is a masterpiece that is famous in the imperial capital."
Li Xuefei likes to make soup for those close to her. She has a noble status and is famous for her beauty. She is sought after by many wealthy children in the imperial capital. Under the deliberate publicity of these "fans", Princess Bixiao's originally ordinary lotus seed soup became more popular. It turned out to be "a unique feature" of the imperial capital.
"Qingqing, if you want to drink lotus seed soup, I will make a new pot for you later." Li Xuefei's beautiful face showed a hint of shame, "I can't give you this pot."
"Oh, I wonder who else in the imperial capital is qualified to enjoy the lotus seed soup prepared by Feifei yourself?" Xiao Qingqing looked a little appetized.
"Qing Wu, please don't think too much about it." Seeing his misunderstanding, Li Xuefei felt nervous and quickly explained, "Didn't I see Brother Wu Emperor's competition coming soon? Brother Emperor has treated me kindly since I was a child, so I thought about it for him. Make a pot of soup to cheer him up."
"I see, I'm being petty." Xiao Qingqing said with a look of surprise, "The relationship between your cousins is really enviable."
With that said, he came to Li Xuefei's side, put his left hand on her shoulder, gently opened the lid of the lotus seed soup pot with his right hand, took a deep breath and said, "Well, it really smells good!"
I don’t know if I’m talking about lotus soup or beauty.
Li Xuefei was half lying in his arms, her pretty face was slightly red, and she asked with some anxiety: "Qing Wu, the object of this competition between Brother Wu and Emperor is your eldest brother. I am on Brother Emperor's side, you won't blame me, right?"
"How could it be?" Xiao Qingqing covered the pot lid again and kissed her gently on her fair cheek, "It's not like you haven't seen my elder brother before. He keeps dragging him like something all day long. I wish someone could Teach him a lesson, if I wasn't worried about the Xiao family's reputation, even I would want to side with Prince Wu."
"Qing Qing, you are so kind." Li Xuefei looked at her lover tenderly, not noticing at all that the moment Xiao Qingqing closed the pot lid, he flicked a cluster of white powder into the soup pot with a slight movement of his right little finger.
"When this incident is over, I want my father to come and propose marriage." Xiao Wuqing stared at the beauty in his arms tenderly, "As long as Prince Li agrees, I will marry you."
"Really?" Li Xuefei's delicate body trembled, and her eyes showed surprise.
"I don't want to see you secretly anymore." Xiao Wuqing said with a smile, "I want the entire Daqian Empire to know that you, Li Xuefei, are the woman I love most in my life."
"What about...Miss Nangong?" Li Xuefei couldn't help but ask. She was somewhat concerned about Xiao Wuqing's pursuit of Nangong Ling.
"That's just a political marriage arranged by my father." Xiao Qingqing said calmly, "As long as you get in first, even if you can't disobey your father's wishes in the end and must marry the Nangong family, she will never be able to compare with you."
"Ruthless." Li Xuefei collapsed softly in her lover's arms, her eyes full of tenderness and sweetness.
Xiao Qingqing hugged her with both hands and raised his head to look straight ahead. If Li Xuefei raised her head at this time, she would find a cold light shining in her lover's eyes.
…
"The Xiao family and the Dark Temple colluded to overthrow the Li dynasty?" Even though Shangguan Mingyue reiterated it again and again, Li Yiru still found this information too shocking and found it difficult to digest for a while.
"If this is true, then the Li family is in danger." Shangguan Tong looked solemn, "No matter how strong the Li family is, it is only a secular force after all. Once the Holy Land is involved, the royal family will have absolutely no power to resist."
"Then, what should we do?" Li Yiru was confused, "Why don't I go into the palace and report to my father."
"Don't be anxious, princess. Now that you're here, you can't say anything." Zhong Wen shook his head, "It's just that the Xiao family wants to rebel, but there's no evidence, so what should your emperor father do?"
"Then what do you think we should do?" Shangguan Mingyue had already made up her mind to face Zhong Wen with a calm and gentle mood. Who knew that as soon as she saw his face, her thoughts disappeared and she couldn't help but speak out. She said to him, "Are you just going to wait for the other party to make the first move?"
"Have you forgotten Sister Nangong?" Zhong Wen said with a smile, "It makes sense to leave this kind of mental energy-consuming thing to her. I have been out for a while, and I just happened to go back to Qingfeng Mountain to explain the situation here. Give it to her and let her serve as an advisor."
"Are you talking about Sister Nangong Ling?" Li Yiru's eyes lit up, "Sister Ling'er is indeed the smartest person in the world. How do you know her?"
"Sister Princess, your sister Ling'er is the chief disciple of our Piaohua Palace." Zhong Wen explained, "Sister Nangong is very resourceful and should be able to think of a good solution. Without further ado, I will make some preparations right away. , we’ll leave early tomorrow morning.”
"Zhong Wen, can you wait for a day before going back?" Li Yiru rubbed the corners of her clothes with two white tender catkins in embarrassment, "Let's use the messenger bird to communicate with Sister Nangong first."
"What?" Zhong Wen asked in shock, "What are your orders from the princess sister?"
"The day after tomorrow...the day after tomorrow..." Li Yiru hesitated, "Can you go to a place with me the day after tomorrow?"
"Let me speak for you." Shangguan Mingyue said, "Zhong Wen, in two days, something big will happen in the imperial capital."
"Oh?" Zhong Wen became interested when he heard it.
"A month ago, Xiao Wenjian made rumors that he would challenge Prince Wu Li Qing for the first place in the Daqian Heroes List." Shangguan Mingyue said slowly, "The day after tomorrow is the day of the decisive battle."
"What does this have to do with me?" Zhong Wen asked confused.
"I heard that Xiao Wenjian got a magic sword." Li Yiru organized his sentence, "I, I'm worried that the Third Emperor Brother will be injured by him. If you, a miracle doctor, are here, even if the Emperor Brother is injured, he won't be injured. Life is in danger."
Seeing the gentle and pleasant Li Yiru's face flushed and looking very embarrassed, Zhong Wen couldn't help but be moved and said: "I didn't expect that among the royal family's children, there would be such a true brother-sister relationship. It's really touching. I should accept this." Got off."
"Thank you!" Li Yiru was overjoyed and couldn't help but stepped forward to hold his hand and expressed sincere gratitude.
Feeling the delicate tenderness of Princess Izumo in his palm, Zhong Wen was in a trance and couldn't help but joked: "But I can't always work in vain. If my medical skills are really used, the princess sister will also have to pay some compensation." That’s it.”
"If you have any requests, just tell me." Li Yi's smooth and white face was full of sincerity, "As long as I can do it, I will accept it."
"Speaking of which, I have never seen a princess dance..."
