Looking at the ten groups of talented lights, Li Yan was a little confused.
Last time I chose three out of four, the levels were very clear and not too difficult.
This time it was a bit difficult to choose.
[Born as an ox and horse], [Lanyan is unlucky], [Performing well], and [Louding in jingles] are definitely not wanted.
The remaining six, [Elementary Operations], [Coward], [Before the Deadline], [Arsonist], [Arsonist], [Let Me See], all have reasons for selection.
Li Yan thought for a moment and eliminated [junior operations] first.
Sorry little brother, your white level is too low. I don't need family background urgently now, so I'd better ask you to return to the talent pool.
Then he eliminated the [coward].
There is no way, the side effects are huge.
He was already a little afraid of ghosts, and it was a sin to increase the level of fright. He could only look forward to the advanced talents in the future.
I just don’t know if advanced talents must be selected starting from the most basic ones, otherwise they won’t appear.
After eliminating the two options, Li Yan weighed the remaining four talents.
From the perspective of immediate results, [Bow Left and Right] can directly increase combat effectiveness, and [Before Death Line] can increase inspiration. These two items are the most practical.
As for [Heart Arsonist], it can greatly improve the appearance in front of girls. The status of women in the Tang Dynasty was not low, especially in Chang'an, where there were many noble girls. A good first impression can often get twice the result with half the effort. It is indeed very good, but it needs to be used in critical situations.
Rescue at all times has huge limitations.
As for "Let Me See", Li Yan is a little uncertain. After all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and no matter how smart they are, they will inevitably make mistakes. What's more, his wisdom is very approachable most of the time.
"The level of purple talent plays an irreplaceable role at critical moments. There is no reason not to choose it."
"[Let me see], [before the dead line] and [shoot left and right]?"
Li Yan hesitated for a moment, then compared [Arsonist] and [Arsonist] together.
Li Yuanfang in the original plot is actually proficient in both left and right hands, and he probably developed it while serving in the army at the border.
But he has embarked on another path. He has not mastered this ability yet, but he can master it overnight with the help of his talent.
But this also reminded him.
"I have encountered a bottleneck in my martial arts practice recently, and it is difficult for me to make significant progress in my strength."
"Would it be a different world if I practice swordsmanship with my left hand instead?"
Li Yan's eyes lit up slightly.
This is not just a matter of simple exchange of left and right hands, but also the steering of force, the coordination of body skills, and even the change of Yum's first attack formation.
It's a good idea.
That's the case.
Li Yan made a decision.
Keep [Let Me See] (purple), [Before Death Line] (blue), [Heart Arsonist] (blue).
As a result, his character panel becomes:
[Identity: Li Yan]
[History: Li Yuanfang]

[Achievement Points: 73]
…
Looking at the increasingly rich talent bar, Li Yan became more confident and energetic. He became less and less sleepy. When he saw the palace attendant standing there, he waved: "Come here!"
The chamberlain immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Li Wuwei!"
Li Yan looked at this person and found that the servant was not very old, probably around thirteen or fourteen years old. His facial features were not ugly, but he was short in stature, with hunched shoulders, drooped head, and a humble expression.
He asked: "What's your name?"
The chamberlain whispered: "My name is Cao An."
Li Yan said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said before that there are legends of ghosts in the palace. Have you ever seen them?"
Cao An said: "I've seen... I've seen... Ten days ago at night, a servant was cleaning the side hall of the West Garden. He was surprised to see a figure in white floating by. There were no feet under the skirt and long hair shawl. He moved very fast and disappeared in a blink of an eye...
"
The more Cao An said, the more frightened his face became, and the lower his voice became: "The servant called a few people, and when he had the courage to go over, he found that where the white clothes passed, there were still water stains on the ground, which was wet..."
The child was trembling with fear, but Li Yan thought it was nothing. He had been doing this for a long time?
He asked: "What about the headless palace maid?"
Cao An took a breath and said in a low voice: "There was a palace maid who saw a figure swinging in front of the window in the West Garden corridor... only shoulders and no head on the neck. She was scared to death..."
It's true that what goes up and what goes down works, the prince's words are weak, and the servants don't dare to be full of energy. No matter how low Cao An's voice is, it's like a mosquito snoring.
Li Yan felt a little helpless and waved: "Come here and talk."
Cao An obeyed the order and stepped forward, but when he really got closer, Li Yan smelled a strange smell in his nose.
The smell was very light, but Li Yan had a keen sense of smell and was not used to the smell of palace people, so he still frowned slightly.
Cao An was extremely sensitive and immediately took a step back, hunched his shoulders and stood still.
Li Yan didn't mean to discriminate, it was just a subconscious reaction, but when he saw Cao An's embarrassment, he frowned.
"Use the talent [let me see]."
"Target: Cao An, the prince's chamberlain."
As soon as the thought came to his mind, a pair of illusory glasses was placed on the bridge of Li Yan's nose.
Looking through the lens, aiming with the crosshair, Cao An appeared on the bullseye.
Then the glasses were taken off, and there seemed to be a fierce voice: "Obey! Let me see!!"
A little man emerged from Cao An's head, hugging his shoulders and curling up into a ball.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Real emotional feedback - low self-esteem!"
"The reasoning begins!"
Li Yan immediately gave the answer in his heart: "Cao An feels inferior because of his physical defects."
"Correct reasoning!"
The bull's-eye of the cross flashed, and a bullet was shot out and penetrated into the little man's body.
The villain waved greetings and slowly disappeared.
"Although there are too many elements, it is quite interesting..."
Li Yan took away his magical power and asked gently: "Where are you from?"
Cao An replied: "I am from Wu County."
Li Yan raised his eyebrows.
His cheap father, Li Jing's eldest son Li Derjian, was exiled to Wu County in Jiangnan Province.
Of course, this is nothing to remember.
Li Yan then asked: "Then how did you enter the palace?"
Cao An said in a low voice: "My father worked as a laborer and participated in canal transportation. He made a mistake and it was difficult for the family to continue, so he entered the palace."
Li Yan sighed.
Who wants to be a eunuch? Only when he can no longer survive will he have to purify himself and enter the palace.
Even so, not everyone can truly enter the palace, and Cao An is considered the lucky one among the misfortunes.
However, this background was inconsistent with his name. Li Yan asked: "Did your father give you your name?"
Cao An's eyebrows showed gratitude: "My real name is Cao Wu, and His Highness named me 'An'."
Li Yan nodded: "His Royal Highness the Prince has a kind heart."
"His Highness has always treated us servants very well..."
Cao An immediately agreed and talked about the many benefits of the prince.
Li Yan looked at him and used his talent for the second time.
The villain appeared, this time facing the direction of the inner palace, and kowtowed repeatedly.
“True emotional feedback – gratitude!”
"The reasoning begins!"
"Cao An is grateful to Prince Li Hong."
"Correct reasoning."
…
Through "Let me see" twice, Li Yan was able to roughly determine the character of the little eunuch in front of him.
For example, in the first emotion, if Cao An showed inner resentment, it would definitely be resentment that Li Yan disliked him.
Expressed as inferiority, it was the common obedience of eunuchs in this era.
In the early Tang Dynasty, the status of eunuchs was extremely humble, or in other words, they returned to their proper status. After participating in Li Longji's coup, they began to rise steadily and out of control. Later, because of their control of the imperial army, even the emperor could be appointed or exempted from poisoning and killing.
The second emotion of gratitude also proved that the prince was good to them, and Cao An knew how to be grateful, unlike some eunuchs who were duplicitous and twisted due to physical defects and twisted temperaments.
"This talent is really powerful when used properly."
"It's a pity that there are error restrictions, otherwise it would be no different from Buddhism."
After Li Yan's experiment, his trust in Cao An increased a lot, and he returned to the previous topic: "Apart from the white figure you saw and the headless shadow the maid saw, has anyone else seen ghosts with their own eyes?"
Cao An said a lot, and his fear disappeared a lot. He thought about it carefully and said, "No one has ever seen it with their own eyes."
Li Yan asked: "Has this matter ever spread out of Shaoyang Academy?"
Cao An shook his head: "The inner palace was not disturbed, and His Highness did not believe it. He ordered us not to talk nonsense and cause panic, and no one spread the news."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise. Someone must be pretending to be a ghost in this matter. I don't believe it either..."
Li Yan nodded, and halfway through speaking, his expression suddenly condensed: "Did you hear anything?"
Cao An was stunned and listened attentively. He was about to reply when his eyes flashed and Li Yan disappeared from the couch.
His hair suddenly stood up.
The sounds in my ears also suddenly amplified.
It was like the sound of water bouncing back and forth between the walls.
"Tick-tick-tick-"
