Although Duguyue has determined that the current emperor of the Rock Kingdom is not incompetent, she has no plans to accept disciples.
So he didn't mince words and refused directly: "Your Majesty, I have already accepted two disciples as disciples. If I continue to accept disciples, it will seriously slow down my cultivation speed. Therefore, I cannot agree to teach you the prince.
."
Duguyue refused very clearly, and also gave a reason that the emperor could not refute at all. After all, in this world where everyone is martial, no one is qualified to ask others to give up their cultivation.
However, Duguyue considered that the emperor would need to facilitate the Zhu family's affairs in the future, so it was not easy to calm the atmosphere directly, so she continued: "However, if your majesty trusts me, you can ask all the princes to come to me, and I will
One of the princes will be selected, and when my disciple Gu Yunfei is free, he can come to assist me."
Although Duguyue said it was to assist, she did so out of concern for the emperor's face. In fact, she was asking Gu Yunfei to teach the prince.
Duguyue's plan is very clear, she wants him to get involved in this princely battle after Gu Yunfei's past life memories are awakened.
After all, even though the Gu Family Marshal Mansion has a strong Martial King Realm such as Gu Xuantian sitting in charge, it is still under the jurisdiction of the Rock Kingdom's royal family, and is ultimately a subject of the Rock Kingdom's royal family.
Sometimes neutrality is not necessarily a good thing. If you are faced with a bad-tempered and narrow-minded king, he may be resentful of you for not siding with him, so it is necessary to assist a wise king appropriately.
.
Dugu Yue had a premonition that after Gu Yunfei awakened his past life memories, he would never stay in this small kingdom for a long time. He would also get involved in the royal family's fight for the throne even for the sake of the Marshal Mansion, a large family.
Instead of waiting for him to go through the trouble of choosing a prince, it would be better to choose one for him directly, so this can not only get rid of the trouble, but also pave the way for him in advance, which is killing two birds with one stone.
Of course, Dugu Yue would never try to trick his apprentice. Even if he were to throw the blame away, he would definitely choose a pot made of talented people and beautiful jade.
When the emperor heard what Dugu Yue said, his first reaction was to refuse. After all, there was no one in the capital who didn't know Gu Yunfei.
Even if he is extremely talented, it really has nothing to do with teaching a prince how to be a king.
If two years ago, with Gu Yunfei's extraordinary talent and unlimited future prospects, he was the most likely to break through to the Wuzong realm or even a higher level in the current generation, the emperor would definitely agree with him.
But now that Gu Yunfei has been disabled for two years, what if he is cured by Dugu Yue? After two years of delay, will he still be the original genius?
Duguyue looked at the emperor's sad face, as if he was still struggling fiercely in his heart, and could roughly guess what he was thinking.
So he said again: "Although Gu Yunfei has wasted two years of practice, genius is genius. As long as the talent has not disappeared, he will catch up. Even if it seems that he has wasted his practice in the past two years, it has also worn away his former ability.
The arrogance of a genius has calmed down a lot, and his foundation is even more solid, so he will only go further in the future. What's more, he is my disciple of Dugu Yue, are you afraid that his cultivation level will not improve?"
Dugu Yue did not mention the fact that Gu Yunfei was the reincarnation of a strong man, but brought up the well-known fact that no one dared to underestimate him as a future spiritual refiner just because he was a disciple.
Sure enough, after hearing what Dugu Yue said, the emperor's frown relaxed, and the struggle in his heart came to an end.
However, what he had in mind was somewhat different from Dugu Yue's plan. After all, if Gu Yunfei could solve everything, that would be fine, but if he encountered something he couldn't solve, would Dugu Yue just stand by and watch?
Obviously not, what would be the difference from Duguyue's personal teaching at that time, so this last bargaining chip in the emperor's heart completely broke the struggle in his heart.
Although neither of them knew what they were thinking in their hearts, it had nothing to do with the overall situation. Dugu Yue believed that after she passed the blame to Gu Yunfei, she would definitely have a lot more time to practice.
And the emperor also believed that no matter who would teach Dugu Yue or Gu Yunfei, as long as they agreed, he would have a successor.
And no matter which prince Dugu Yue chooses, even if the selected prince is not favored, he is still qualified to be included in the candidates for the throne.
The emperor had no hesitation in his heart and immediately agreed: "Okay, I would like to thank Master Du for this."
Seeing that the emperor agreed, Dugu Yue also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she could use force and status to force the emperor of the Rock Kingdom to surrender, but when things could be resolved peacefully, why bother to do so and create another enemy in vain?
Then Duguyue didn't take it seriously and said, "Your Majesty, I have something else I want you to facilitate when I come here this time."
The emperor was extremely happy after a major worry was solved, so he did not worry too much at all and promised: "Master Du has solved this big worry for me. It will be a great contribution to the entire Rock Kingdom for generations to come. What are the requirements? Du
Master, no matter what you say, as long as I can do it, I will try my best to do it."
With the emperor's promise, Duguyue no longer concealed her intentions and asked bluntly: "I heard that your majesty has captured the treasonous Zhu family. Is this true?"
Sure enough, just as Dugu Yue expected, after hearing this, the emperor's originally happy face suddenly turned gloomy again.
Although he has always been imaged as fatuous and incompetent in external rumors, the fact that the Zhu family he personally promoted actually colluded with the Blood Crow Organization and Chen Shiyuan is a shame that cannot be erased from his heart. It's strange that he feels good after being mentioned.
Duguyue pretended not to see the emperor's face and continued to speak slowly: "When I first came to the royal capital, the Zhu family gave me a treasure that no spiritual refiner could refuse, so I promised them at that time that I would
When their family suffers from genocide, they will try their best to save them once. The third son of the Zhu family, Zhu Wanjun, came to King Luo Martial Arts Academy the day before yesterday to ask me to save the lives of the entire Zhu family. I don't like to owe people favors, so I ask your majesty to open the door for convenience.
."
Dugu Yue had just agreed to teach the prince so easily. The emperor knew best that there was no free lunch in the world, so he was ready to pay the price.
It's just that he really didn't expect that Dugu Yue would actually make this request. If he let the Zhu family go, his royal family would really be disgraced. But if he didn't agree, who would have known that Dugu Yue would teach the prince as he promised before?
Will Yue be unable to work because he is unhappy?
In the final analysis, the emperor of the Rock Kingdom still didn't know enough about Dugu Yue. He only knew some one-sided information and did not know her character. Otherwise, he would not have fallen into such a passive situation.
Although Duguyue desperately wanted to rescue the people of the Zhu family and settle the relationship with the Zhu family, he never had the idea of being a free hand.
Dugu Yue now considers the emperor's position, and it is not difficult to understand the emperor's worries. This will not only make the royal family lose face, but also have the hidden danger of letting the tiger go back to the mountain.
What Duguyue promised Zhu Wanjun was just to save the entire Zhu family, not to mention that the Zhu family had used Zhu Wanjun to plot against her, so naturally she could not let them be released unharmed.
So Duguyue made a suggestion to the emperor: "You can abolish the cultivation of all the Zhu family, and I can exchange their lives with three eternal youth-preserving beauty pills."
Sure enough, as soon as Dugu Yue said this, the emperor immediately agreed happily and said: "Okay, I agree, but I also ask the disciple to work harder when teaching the prince."
Three beauty-preserving elixirs are elixirs that cannot be bought in the market. They will be auctioned as soon as they appear. Even the royal family cannot afford to buy those powerful and astonishingly wealthy old female nuns.
What's more, those who were let go were just useless people with no cultivation, and the emperor didn't take them seriously. If they turned the world upside down, they would not pose a threat to the Rock Kingdom.
After the matter was settled, Du Guyue felt relieved for a while, and then directly took out half of the remuneration he had received for refining the beauty elixir for nnn Qiao Xueqian of the Martial King Realm.
At first, he gave one directly to Dean Zhong, but now he gave three of the remaining four to the emperor, leaving only one.
However, Duguyue didn't feel distressed at all. Although her height at this time had reached 1.75 meters, Duguyue was only 1 meter tall in her previous life. She still wanted to grow taller, so she didn't have any concerns about taking the Zhuyongyan Pill.
interest.
Dugu Yue took out a beauty-preserving elixir from the jade bottle, put it into an empty bottle, put it in the space ring, and then threw the remaining three pills together with the bottle to the emperor.
Women are not the only ones who pursue beauty in the world. Who would want to grow old if they could stay young forever, so when he received the beauty elixir, the emperor was also excited.
Duguyue explained uneasily: "This is a middle-grade beauty-preserving elixir. It is initially estimated that it should make an old man look 30 years younger, a middle-aged man 20 years younger, and a young man ten years younger.
The beauty pill can permanently fix a person's appearance, but it will not increase his lifespan. If a teenager takes it, his appearance will always be fixed at that of a teenager throughout his life, and he will not grow in height."
After hearing Dugu Yue's explanation, the emperor couldn't wait to pour one pill from the jade bottle and take it without worrying about his own safety.
The emperor originally looked like a middle-aged uncle in his forties, and as he was busy with state affairs, he looked more like an old man in his forties or fifties.
However, after he took the next pill, he immediately let out an "ah" sound and began to scream like a slaughtering pig, and fell directly to the ground, rolling back and forth in pain.
"Tap tap tap tap tap."
The next moment, Duguyue heard a violent friction sound of armor, followed by a voice of "Escort, protect your majesty".
Duguyue was also speechless for a while. She never imagined that she would experience such great pain after taking a beauty pill.
Obviously, when Qiao Xueqian changed from an old woman to nnn, she didn't even say a word. This emperor must be too useless.
After a while, Dugu Yue was surrounded by a group of imperial guards with swords and guards in armor, inside and outside.
The emperor, who was making noises like a slaughtering pig, was also protected in the middle of piles of human walls.
Although the distance between the emperor and Dugu Yue was not far, the protection measures were extremely strict, and it seemed that they had gone through many trainings.
Even if Dugu Yue really had any intention of harming the emperor, he would have to get rid of so many human walls before he could do it.
However, even though Dugu Yue was surrounded by so many guards, he didn't feel any emotion in his heart. In the face of powerful force, no matter how many ants came, they were just cannon fodder, unless they could be so numerous that Dugu Yue died from exhaustion.
What's more, Dugu Yue had no intention of harming the emperor. This was just an accident, so there was no need to have unnecessary conflicts with them. Everything would be clear after the emperor calmed down.
Duguyue calculated based on the time it took for Qiao Xueqian to take the Chinese-grade beauty-preserving pill to take effect. It should be completed at about this time.
