His original relaxed smile slowly faded.

Xiao Ruoling smiled and said, "What's wrong?"

"It seems that this saint is going to give it a good fight." "Hmm?" Xiao Ruoling blinked her deep and bright eyes. Xiao Zhiyuan's attitude has undergone a fundamental change.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "If we don't have this great taiyin refining, it would be fine. With such a miraculous skill, how can we let it go?!" "But..."

"It's only ten years. We are still young. Is it worth exchanging ten years for hundreds of years of life?"

If Xiao Ruoling can become a grand master, then that's fine. If he can't, his longevity will be far inferior to his own. Once he practices the Great Taiyin Refining, he will be able to keep up with himself, and he can stay young forever.

In exchange for ten years, what a beautiful thing? "Yes." Xiao Ruoling hesitated.

"Yu Jing is only a thousand miles away from Yao Yue Palace. It only takes me half a day to ride the divine dragon horse. I come and go very quickly. The disciples of Yao Yue Palace cannot enter Yu Jing. It's not like I can't go to Yao Yue Palace." Xiao Ruoling blinked her eyes.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "We either separated or postponed the wedding for ten years, but what we got in exchange was eternal youth and long life. It's so worth it!" Now it's very convenient to come to Anguo Duke's Mansion, so I can come as soon as possible to invite him.

The Moon Palace takes half a day, and if you really care about the person you like, it won't be a problem. Xiao Ruoling hesitated.

She really doesn't want to be this saint.

It's fun to go to secret places. Secret places are like treasures, waiting to be discovered by yourself. If you can invite the saint of the Moon Palace, then forget it.

The Saint of the Moon Palace is not attractive to her. The more she lacks something, the more she longs for it.

In the eyes of outsiders, Yaoyue Palace is mysterious, powerful, and has a high status, but in her eyes, she is not that dazzling and is just regarded as a martial arts master. After all, she belongs to the Duke's Palace.

The Saint of Yao Yue Palace is under the palace lord and has great power. However, as the young lady of the Duke's Mansion, she is in charge of the entire Duke's Mansion and has no shortage of power. She feels that the reputation and status of the Saint of Yao Yue Palace are not as good as those of the Saint of Yao Yue Palace.

My own concubine.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Since the opportunity has come to you, then try your best to avoid regrets in the future."

"Okay." Seeing him like this, Xiao Ruoling could only agree reluctantly.

Chu Zhiyuan thought for a while: "Since there is a competition, we must prepare well. Starting from tomorrow, I will come over every afternoon and we will practice swordsmanship."

"Okay." Xiao Ruoling reluctantly agreed.

Early the next morning, he continued to practice at the Mingwu Hall, went to the Rites Yamen to do the exercises, and then went to his new house to practice. By the time he had lunch at noon, Bai Ningshuang had already returned from the palace.

After eating, Chu Zhiyuan said: "Mother, I have something to say to you.

"What are you talking about?" Bai Ningshuang asked, "Do you want me to pass it on to you right away?"

"yes."

"Tell me." Bai Ningshuang said.

Chu Yi and Chu Minghou both looked over.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "I would like to ask the emperor to send Grand Master Song to protect Ruo Ling secretly."

"Huh——?" All three of them were surprised.

This request is extremely strange and abrupt.

The grand master secretly protects her, and this kind of treatment is not available to ordinary people. Not to mention the crown prince, even the prince does not have this kind of treatment.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Just tell your Majesty."

"Yuan'er, what's going on? Why do you want the Grand Master to protect Ruo Ling? Is Ruo Ling in danger?"

"That's right, brother and sister, what's the danger?"

"She wants to go out."

"What to do?"

"Go to Yao Yue Palace and see if you can become the saint of Yao Yue Palace."

"... Yuan'er, what nonsense are you talking about!" Bai Ningshuang said angrily: "What's going on?"

"Mom, let's talk about this later. Let's talk to my mother about this first."

"...Okay." Bai Ningshuang saw that Chu Zhiyuan's expression was a little serious, so she said no more, agreed and left.

She has always had a resolute and resolute temperament, and she does whatever comes to her mind.

When Bai Ningshuang left, Chu Yi pulled him and insisted on asking questions.

Chu Zhiyuan reluctantly followed her to Wanqingyuan.

Flowers and exotic grasses were everywhere, so beautiful that it was no wonder she stayed here and didn't want to go out.

This is indeed a quiet world without the distractions of the world. Sometimes I think about it, Chu Yi's life is truly beautiful.

You don’t need to pay too much attention to it, just immerse yourself in your own world. You have your parents and elder brother who love you, you have beautiful clothes and food, and you play with flowers and plants. The fulfilling day passes quickly. Now you are practicing kung fu again, and your friend Li Suyue comes to accompany you. .

Just as he was about to speak, he heard the little maid outside reporting that Miss Li was here. So Chu Yi ran out to greet Li Suyue.

Li Suyue came in, wearing a dark green Luo shirt. She looked soft and tender. When she saw Chu Zhiyuan, she immediately blushed. Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Little sister, since Suyue is here, I won't disturb her."

He was about to stand up and leave, but was pulled back by Chu Yi: "Brother, Sister Suyue is here, I won't delay you to talk, just hurry up if you want to get down to business!" Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "This matter has not been resolved yet, we have to wait. Let’s talk later.”

Chu Yi held him back and refused to let him go: "Let's talk about it first if there is no result."

Chu Zhiyuan looked at her little hands helplessly: "Okay, let go, I said that's it."

Chu Yi hurriedly let go of her little hand, and took advantage of the opportunity to straighten Chu Zhiyuan's clothes, and said with a smile: "Brother, we are all ears." Chu Zhiyuan said: "This matter is a long story."

"Then just say it slowly, don't be in a hurry." When Chu Yi heard this, she immediately became very interested and hurriedly asked the little maid to bring tea, snacks and fruits.

While stuffing fruits for Li Suyue, he also offered tea to Chu Zhiyuan. He took a sip himself, leisurely and contentedly, and looked at Chu Zhiyuan to listen to what Chu Zhiyuan said. Seeing her like this, Chu Zhiyuan smiled: " This story starts with Ruo Ling’s martial arts practice, she secretly worshiped Empress Xigong as her teacher.”

"Ah——?" Chu Yi said in surprise: "Sister Xiao is actually a martial arts practitioner? Has she practiced Kung Fu?" Chu Zhiyuan nodded and smiled: "The innate perfection is about to become a master."

If you become a master, you are not qualified to become a saint.

"Isn't it right?" Chu Yi said in surprise: "Sister Xiao doesn't know martial arts? Sister Su Yue, right?"

"This..." Li Suyue did not dare to look at Chu Zhiyuan, only stared at Chu Yi and spoke softly: "It seems that there are some magical skills in the martial arts that can cover the breath without being discovered, and it must be hidden deep. You must have practiced this amazing skill." "Oh——!" Chu Yi said hurriedly: "Then what?"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "The Empress of the West Palace invited the Yue Palace, so Ruo Ling also invited the disciples of the Yue Palace." "Yue Yue Palace..." Chu Yi looked at Li Suyue.

Li Suyue lightly frowned and said softly: "Yaoyue Palace is one of the four major demon sects, and it is inseparable from the imperial court." Chu Yi said: "One of the four major demon sects. Is it the demon sect?"

Li Suyue hurriedly said: "The Demon Sect is different from the Evil Sect. It's not that they are evil, but that they act outside the law and do whatever they want. It's also because of their transcendent status. In short, the Yao Yue Palace is extremely powerful." "Then what?"

"A while ago, the Saint of the Moon Palace was invited to step down and a new Saint should be selected. Ruoling followed his master's orders and went to run for the election."

"The saint from Zhao Yue Palace?" Li Suyue said in surprise: "The saint from Zhao Yue Palace is incredible!" Chu Yi looked at her hurriedly.

Li Suyue said: "The saint of Yao Yue Palace is the second person in Yao Yue Palace, only under the palace owner. However, the palace owner rarely manages affairs and mostly stays in seclusion. The saint handles most of the affairs of Yao Yue Palace... This is I heard what Master said." "Then if I become a saint, can I still marry you, eldest brother?"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Then we can only wait until the saint is removed from the position. Of course, it also depends on whether the saint can be selected. You may not be sure." "What if you are selected, you can't get married?"

"Well, saints can't get married."

"How long will it take for you to step down as a saint?" "Ten years."

"Brother, you are twenty now, and you will be thirty in ten years. If you knew this, you must have been hit by a bolt from the blue." Chu Yi looked at him sympathetically: "Mom must be going crazy, brother, just watch. Let’s do it.” “Tell me, little sister, of course you’ll be the one to help.”

"I can't help!"

"If Ling can't help herself and Empress Xigong gives the order, what can she do?" Putting the responsibility on Empress Xigong, everything will be fine.

It’s not a passing of the blame, it was originally her fault. “.That’s right.”

"You tell mother in advance." Chu Zhiyuan said.

"Okay." Chu Yi sighed: "The most pitiful thing is Sister Xiao, who actually wants to be a saint at a critical moment." She doesn't think the saint of Yueyue Palace is very important, and feels that she is far inferior to the imperial concubine.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded in agreement.

If there was no Taiyin refining, the saint would indeed not be that important. At most, it would add a halo to Xiao Ruoling. That is not the case now.

"Brother, you are so pitiful. The princess you are about to marry has flown away." Chu Yi said with a smile, "It will take ten years for you to marry back to the family." "This position of saint is not something you can sit on just if you want to. "It depends on God's will." Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile.

"Sister Xiao is so beautiful, how could she not choose a saint?" Chu Yi said. Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "This is not based on beauty alone."

"Sister Xiao is not only beautiful and incomparable, she is also smart, and she is also in charge of the Duke's palace. Who can be better than her?" "If I really want to choose her, I won't miss her for ten years, so I can concentrate on practicing martial arts."

"Mom must be so anxious that she jumps on her feet." Chu Yi stuck out her tongue.

Chu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
