Hearing this, Xia Qingchen couldn't help laughing.
It seems that the last time Princess Yanyu summoned him, she actually had murderous intentions and was planning to take away Skyfire and then execute him.
It was only because he was able to contain Han Youbing's physique that the princess changed her attention.
"Last time I thought you were going to stay in the mansion to be used as fertilizer, but I didn't expect you to come out alive. You should really thank the goddess of luck!" the maid sighed.
Xia Qingchen smiled disapprovingly.
Lady Luck?
Isn't that the girl who always wanted to be his concubine, but was repeatedly rejected by him?
When will he need to rely on this little girl's care?
With a chuckle, Xia Qingchen followed the maid to the courtyard.
But in the courtyard, a group of people were talking in low voices, with a hint of excitement in their expressions.
"The princess really wants to reward us with a Kaiyuan Pill?"
"It's absolutely true! The princess has made an announcement in the Hall of Strange People."
"Hahaha, that will be a great joy for us, the proud ones who continue to break through the big stars!"
"Wake up! There is only one Kaiyuan Pill, and it is obviously prepared for the disciples of Madman Sword."
"Hey! That's true! The disciple of Madman's Sword is less than twenty years old, but he has stayed in the Nine Transformations of Zhongxing for a whole year. If you don't give this elixir to him, who can you give it to?"
At the front of the crowd, Madman Sword and a young boy stood with their hands behind their backs.
Madman Sword shook his head, the old god was there, and the people around him were in awe of him.
The young man next to him with nine scars on his face and a ferocious face is his disciple, Jian Jiu!
It is said that he is proficient in a lost and unique swordsmanship, using his body as a scabbard to store invisible sword energy.
When he took action, there was a sharp sword energy, which was strange and extraordinary.
Among peers, few can match it.
"Master, who are we waiting for?" Jian Jiu frowned impatiently, and the subtle movements affected the scars on his face, making his face even more sinister.
Madman Jian chuckled and said in a bad tone: "Who else could it be? Of course it's Xia Qingchen, who has been very famous recently."
Princess Yanyu had already leaked the news in advance that Xia Qingchen had joined the Qijen Pavilion half a year ago and was one of their members.
"Mediocre people who hang out in the military palace also accompany me on a special trip to wait." Jian Jiu said contemptuously.
When he said this, Xia Qingchen had already stepped into the courtyard.
Hearing this, he just smiled.
Do gods need to listen to the words of ants?
"Xia Qingchen is here!"
"That's Xia Qingchen. She is indeed as young as the rumors say."
"He should be the youngest Wan Xiaoqi in the military palace, right?"
Everyone was whispering to each other, sizing up this famous man from Liangzhou City.
Jian Jiu folded his arms in front of his chest and looked forward. Even though he knew Xia Qingchen was here, he didn't look back.
The disdain could not be stronger.
Madman Sword, on the other hand, turned around and looked with deep disgust in his old eyes: "Oh? The swordsman from the Sword Burial Pond who just pretended to be a fool is here?"
The teasing tone in his words couldn't be more obvious.
That day, at his repeated request, Xia Qingchen was driven away, which was very satisfying.
Xia Qingchen came repeatedly, stepping on the fallen cherry blossoms on the ground, and said lightly: "I heard that the Dusk Sword Master defeated you with one move, and the person who used the sword to make up for it will never be able to turn to me, Xia."
Madman Sword immediately showed a hint of madness and reprimanded loudly: "Little bastard, why are you talking to senior?"
The disastrous defeat of the Burial Sword Pond was the result of Madman's Sword's reverse scale, and no one else could tell.
As soon as he talks about it, he will act crazy and act arrogantly, ranging from cursing to hurting others in serious cases.
Xia Qingchen shook his head: "In front of me, you can't bear the word "senior".
The Madman Sword, which the Madman Sword prides itself on, is nothing more than a clown trick in front of it.
"Hehe, boy, don't ask me, what is my identity in the Hall of Strange People?" Madman Jian's sneer showed malice.
The Qiren Pavilion belongs to Princess Yanyu, but there are also three, six or nine levels of Qiren.
A great swordsman with such a famous reputation in the Liang Realm like Madman Sword is naturally a first-class master. Together with the other seven masters, he is also called the Eight Wonderful Masters.
Only those with moon-level strength and unparalleled thaumaturgic abilities are qualified to be honored in the Qijin Pavilion.
Madman Sword is one of the eight deities.
If he used his madness to hurt others, Princess Yanyu would just turn a blind eye and never reprimand him.
Xia Qingchen said calmly: "Then I also advise you to ask about my identity."
Madman Sword is, at best, just a capable officer under Princess Yanyu, while Xia Qingchen is the master of Princess Yanyu’s life and destiny!
"Haha, you're just a junior in the military palace, and you want to talk about your status with me? It's ridiculous!" The madman's sword cracked with laughter.
Just as he was about to continue speaking, Jian Jiu didn't look back and said calmly: "Master, why do you condescend to argue with an unknown person? Don't you think you're losing your identity?"
Madman Jian chuckled and turned his head, too lazy to say anything more.
Xia Qingchen murmured to himself: "Is the military palace so looked down upon?"
In their words, it seemed as if the military palace was a rather incompetent place.
"Trash, don't talk to me, dirty ears." Jian Jiu closed his eyes and said calmly.
Xia Qingchen glanced at his back, smiled and shook his head: "You are overthinking, I have no interest in talking to the ant."
He was just talking to himself, but Jian Jiu mistakenly thought that Xia Qingchen was arguing with him unconvinced.
"Haha." Jian Jiu responded with a contemptuous smile without saying a word.
After the two sides were silent for half a cup of tea, the fragrance of the house came, and several graceful young girls came from two sides.
In the middle, Princess Yanyu, dressed in simple attire, walked slowly.
Compared with her frivolous appearance back then, now she has her dark hair tied up and is dressed in a well-trimmed white dress. Her whole person looks fresh, refined, and rounded in beauty.
However, his cheeks were covered by gauze as always, and only the upper half of his face could be seen, unable to fully explore the whole face.
"Meet the Princess." Jian Jiu suddenly opened his eyes, with deep lust shining in them, and followed the others and knelt down on one knee.
But his eyes and thoughts never left Princess Yanyu.
Only Xia Qingchen stood there with his arms folded and showed no intention of kneeling down. He stood out from the crowd and was very eye-catching.
Princess Yanyu saw Xia Qingchen at a glance and did not blame her. She only smiled lightly and said, "Get back on your feet."
She sat in front of a field of peonies with a calm and majestic temperament: "Tomorrow is a mystery. If you have the opportunity to participate, are you ready?"
Jian Jiu bowed and said, "We are ready."
Including him, a total of ten people responded.
Xia Qingchen looked at it and was slightly surprised. There were only ten places for Xuanji Wen in such a large military palace.
Princess Yanyu only controls ten of them, and her resources are so rich that it cannot be compared to a military palace.
"Qingluan, give me the elixir."
The maid in green clothes took out several brocade boxes and handed them to the nine participants one by one.
When you open it, you will find that it contains precious secret medicines that are only available to the royal family.
The nine people were overjoyed. Although they did not get the Kaiyuan Pill, they still gained a lot.
"I also have a Kaiyuan Pill here." Princess Yanyu took out another wooden box and opened it with her bare hands, revealing a shiny round bead like a pearl.
She said meaningfully: "There is only one elixir, who should I give it to?"
