The little princess was naturally unable to come out because she was confined, but Zuo Wuji didn't come, and neither did Lan Langlang. This seemed a little strange.
Ye Xiao stretched his waist.
After practicing sleeplessly for ten days, he had almost absorbed the dissipated cold air in the space, and even the Tianling Space had shown a reverse weak state...
Ye Xiao knew that it was time to stop, and that going too far was not enough.
It is better to let go of the cold air in Tianling Space for the time being; wait for it to accumulate for a few more days and start to become rampant again, and then absorb it again.
Together, they fell lightly from the watchtower.
The butler immediately went to greet him: "Master, how are you? You should be about to break through the fourth level of the Human Yuan Realm now, right?"
Originally, Ye Xiao's cultivation level had always been at the third level of the Human Yuan Realm and had not moved for several years. The steward asked this question because he did not want to undermine his son's confidence - how could a breakthrough be so fast? Some people have been there for several years.
They can't even break through the first level.
Fourth level of Renyuan Realm?
The corner of Ye Xiao's mouth twitched strangely and said: "Well, it's almost done. It's about to break through the fourth level."
The housekeeper smiled happily and said, "Young Master has worked really hard these days. In fact, this practice also requires a combination of work and rest, and a step-by-step process. Please have a good rest tonight."
Naturally, the housekeeper would not know that what he was talking about was the fourth level of the Human Yuan Realm.
And the fourth level that my young master said was about to break through... is actually the fourth level of Earth Yuan Realm.
There is a huge gap between the two fourth levels of heaven and earth... If Ye Xiao directly stated that he was about to break through the fourth level of the Earth Yuan Realm, I am afraid that the housekeeper would be able to faint directly.
"Is there any movement from the outside world these days?" Ye Xiao asked.
"Well, the young master will eat first later, and I will come with you one by one for him." The butler said with a smile.
"Well, Uncle Song, let's eat together." Ye Xiao said.
"Okay, okay." Butler Song smiled happily.
"In the past few days, the boundaries of the capital have been very sensitive."
The butler was drinking and talking.
Ye Xiao was surprised to find that the butler's drinking posture was very strange. He held the wine glass with two fingers and picked it up smoothly and naturally. There was no movement of the throat or a sound. Anyway, it was just a glass of wine very elegantly.
It’s gone. Then he fills up a cup again smoothly, and then it’s gone again after one sip...
Although the drinking was surprisingly fast, the whole process and the whole set of movements were extremely elegant.
This set of elegant drinking movements makes Mr. Laughing Monarch a little envious: I was also a good drinker in my previous life, and I felt that I had a good capacity for drinking. Naturally, I drank a lot of good wine. But when it comes to more specific wine culture, such as
Ye Xiao asked himself that he was determined not to be able to imitate Butler Song's understated and elegant way of drinking. Even if he could barely imitate it, he would probably be like a tiger instead of a dog.
"Sensitive? How do you say this?" Ye Xiao vaguely felt that the housekeeper of his family was definitely not just a retired soldier, and his origins were probably not that simple.
Firstly, it is sharp; secondly, it is elegant. Just talking about the movement of drinking. Without systematic training and the subtle influence of several generations, there will never be such a natural aristocratic demeanor...
Thirdly, he is mysterious and never talks about the past... Fourthly, with his current eyesight, he cannot see through the cultivation of this butler.
There are many levels of warriors in this world, but under normal circumstances, when no action is taken, it is difficult for others to see the specific realm and level of the target person. But if there is a move, the true strength will be exposed.
It is precisely because of this that some exercises that can conceal one's own cultivation have come into being.
This type of mental method naturally does not have the effects of nourishing one's breath, increasing one's cultivation, protecting one's body, healing one's wounds, and attacking the enemy. However, it can play a considerable role in confusing the enemy's ears and eyes, and confusing the enemy's judgment.
After cultivators practice this kind of technique, they can hide their own aura and combat power to a certain extent, and prevent their true strength from being seen by the enemy. They will naturally take advantage of it when making moves, and may even lead to a final comeback.
Only some powerful people, relying on their own experience and the ability to sense the energy of the enemy, can roughly predict the level of the opponent before the opponent takes action. The laughing monarch is naturally able to do this, no matter it is
As long as the realm of the master is not lower than that of the Laughing Lord, no matter how hard the opponent hides it, it can still be clearly seen.
But now I can't see the true level of cultivation of this butler.
Since Ye Xiao's eyesight and experience are still the same as before, but he can't see the opponent's level of strength, the only explanation is that the butler's cultivation level is much higher than his own.
After all, Ye Xiao's current shortcoming is that his real strength is still relatively rubbish, and he can only reach the third level of Earth Yuan.
"Yes, he is just sensitive." Although the butler's drinking manners are elegant, he is a master who never finishes drinking. He will not put down the wine glass after he picks it up: "His Majesty the Emperor should have a headache now because the fight between the princes for the heir,
It is very likely that it will start from this auction. But His Majesty is helpless and helpless about this."
"Oh, I would like to hear the details." Ye Xiao humbly asked for advice.
He really didn't realize this.
Although Ye Xiao has experienced many people, he knows very little about royal disputes in the secular world, and he is almost completely ignorant of the so-called emperor's mind. However, this is an essential difference in the realm of life, and there is nothing he can do about it.
"His Majesty the Emperor has always been committed to supporting the prince, and then regarded the second prince and the third prince as a whetstone before the prince ascended to the throne. He relaxed their competition and opposition with the prince, but he never allowed their power to truly
Overwhelming the prince, after all, a whetstone is just a whetstone. If the knife is really worn or even broken, it will go against the original intention."
"Although there is always a glimmer of hope for them, and I think they can hope to get that chair, but I don't really give them hope; because that big seat is only reserved for the prince."
"This is the so-called emperor's trick." The butler chuckled.
"The emperor's mind..." Ye Xiao muttered.
"It is undeniable that His Majesty is a man of great talent and strategy, but his poor health has become a shortcoming in the entire layout. His Majesty fought in the Eight Kings Rebellion back then, and it can be said that he was decisive in killing.
.But... although the prince is also a man of extraordinary talent, he does not have that kind of experience after all. It is okay to be a conservative king, but it is absolutely impossible to carry forward His Majesty's foundation, even expand the territory and achieve hegemony.
"
"So in order to train the prince, His Majesty can only help the two princes to compete against each other. Only by making the prince feel the threats in the future can he make progress. But he always maintains a sense of proportion. Of course, the whetstone cannot be used to kill the knife.
Even if it breaks; you cannot use this knife to grind through the whetstone prematurely... His Majesty has always grasped the balance of this very well."
Ye Xiao nodded slowly.
Yes, all emperors in the past dynasties basically did this.
However, there are only a few of them who can truly grasp the balance...
It seems that His Majesty the Emperor of the Chen Empire is really a wise and wise monarch.
"However, an unexpected change occurred in the past few years, which disrupted His Majesty the Emperor's wishful thinking and made this balance unbalanced. That is... the prince accidentally met a woman. The woman fell in love with the prince at first sight, but this woman
But she is the daughter of the Mu family, one of the eight major families. Although she is not the direct descendant of the eldest brother, she is the direct daughter of the second-ranking figure in the Mu family."
"His Majesty the Emperor has always been quite wary of the three families in the Chen Emperor's Kingdom among the eight major families. Naturally, he does not approve of this marriage, but he has no reason to oppose it. If he deliberately obstructs it, not only will the prince hurt the relationship between father and son.
It’s not easy to explain love to the Mu family. After all, the Mu family is one of the eight major families and is not someone that His Majesty the Emperor can easily manipulate..."
"With all kinds of options, I finally had no choice but to approve the marriage and let the woman become the Crown Princess. From then on, His Highness the Crown Prince's power suddenly expanded, suppressing the other two princes to the point where they were no longer able to fight back."
"But the two princes will not sit still and wait for death. The temptation of the throne always makes people intoxicated. Even if the hope is slim, they still refuse to give up. The success of the prince and the suddenly intensified threat have allowed them to find a way to improve their strength...
So they respectively proposed to the daughters of the other two major families of the eight major families in the Chen Emperor Kingdom...A balance was once again formed between the three, but this balance was no longer stable, and it could be called a terrifying balance.
"
"In the past, under the regulation of His Majesty the Emperor, the balance between the three was undecided. If one of them was too strong, His Majesty the Emperor would naturally suppress it. But now, His Majesty the Emperor's ability to regulate and balance has been drastically reduced.
Once the situation becomes imbalanced, it will inevitably lead to a huge crisis of total collapse."
"In fact, due to His Majesty the Emperor's wariness, the members of the eight major families, although they are wealthy and powerful, have never been able to come into contact with the realm of imperial power. But this time, the emperor's son took the initiative to come to visit... So ever
Naturally, the Eight Great Families are as happy as sweet cakes, and they are as happy as a fish in water; even if they don’t have a daughter, they still have to become one, not to mention that there are so many beauties in the Eight Great Families?”
"So the prince is very dissatisfied with His Majesty the Emperor this time, because the strength of the eight major families has fully penetrated into the royal family. Moreover, there are only three sons in total, all of whom are sons-in-law of the eight major families..."
"This matter has caused quite a stir in the past few years... but now it has just subsided."
"His Majesty the Emperor has spent so much effort to unify and organize the forces of the three sons and make new plans. Now the plan has just been completed and everything has returned to its original track... that is, the prince is slightly stronger and the two princes are slightly weaker;
Only when the two princes work together can they fight against the prince's delicate balance. Just when it's time to take a breath...suddenly, this auction happened without any warning."
