Chapter 559: Selecting Prizes

"Tsk, you just keep us in suspense all day long."

Li Xuan rolled his eyes at Zhao Feng, complaining in his heart, but his brain started working and he quickly came up with an answer.

"The Daxing royal family is definitely one of them, after all, they have produced two holy emperors."

Looking at the answer written by Li Xuan, Zhao Feng was a little surprised.

"Ah Xuan is quite smart, he got the key point."

"Indeed, I have said before that to become a martial arts holy land one must have a destiny and a yin-yang attribute technique to be passed down."

"But unfortunately, the royal family that rules the dynasty does not belong to the holy land of martial arts. After all, the holy land of martial arts is to accept disciples from outside and spread its own martial arts."

"In terms of foundation alone, Daxing, Damao, and even the former Beiliang all have strengths that are not inferior to the martial arts holy lands. It's just that due to their different natures, they are not discussed together."

"Most martial arts holy places are underworld forces. Once they change their nature, they will be kicked out of the martial arts holy places."

"There have been precedents of martial arts holy places establishing dynasties before."

Zhao Feng did not continue to explain, nor did he let Li Xuan continue to guess. Instead, he announced the answer:
"In fact, the other two hidden martial arts holy places are Buddhism and Taoism."

"These two doors are quite special and their strength is extraordinary."

"Among the eight martial arts holy places, Fuyun Temple and Wuxianju belong to Buddhism and Taoism respectively."

"But the remaining temples and Taoist temples should not be underestimated either, because of the nature of religion, they are very united with each other, especially Buddhism."

"There are many temples in Buddhism that are not weak in the first place, but they have never produced a person with the destiny. In addition, there are many believers who help each other. It is not wise to provoke them when you are not in the right."

Zhao Feng said this and finally looked at Li Xuan. His meaning was already very clear.

After receiving Zhao Feng's advice, Li Xuan would naturally not easily provoke Ci'en Temple again.

"It seems we have to think of another way."

Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He didn't expect that just setting up a memorial tablet for Concubine Xiao would be so difficult.

Logically speaking, the most appropriate approach would be for the three children to set up a tablet for Concubine Xiao behind closed doors in Jingyang Palace.

But because of the outside world and others, they had to give up and make concessions, which made Li Xuan very unhappy.

Especially since this idea was proposed by Princess Ankang, Li Xuan didn't want to let the little girl feel wronged.

Princess Ankang is sensible and knows that the situation cannot be solved, so she will definitely make concessions first and not cause trouble for others.

But Li Xuan didn't want to do that.

"I noticed that Lao Ba had a good relationship with Ci'en Temple. Would it be helpful if he came forward to talk about it?"

Li Xuan asked.

"His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince?"

Zhao Feng thought for a moment and then said, "I'm afraid it won't be easy, but it shouldn't be a problem to introduce him and discuss the possibilities."

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and Princess Ankang beside him also said:

"That's enough. When the time comes, please ask Big Brother to take us to see the abbot of Ci'en Temple."

"As for the final result, we will not force it."

Princess Ankang pursed her lips and said sensibly.

Li Xuan immediately looked at Zhao Feng eagerly.

Zhao Feng smiled awkwardly and explained, "Buddhism doesn't like the Ministry of Internal Affairs very much."

This sentence made Li Xuan understand what was going on.

No wonder Zhao Feng talked for so long but didn't offer to help Princess Ankang. It turned out that he was also powerless to help.

Princess Ankang didn't care about it. Instead, she thanked Zhao Feng for his reminder. Otherwise, they would have gone to Ci'en Temple for no apparent reason and would have been turned away for unknown reasons.

At least now the three little ones know where the problem lies, and they can negotiate with Ci'en Temple to see if they can solve it together and finally get a result that satisfies both parties.

Zhao Feng was relieved to receive Princess Ankang's understanding.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs really couldn't come up with any good solution to this matter.

He had explained everything in such detail to the three little ones before in order to prevent them from misunderstanding and having any rift with the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

After all, we are all in the same boat now. If we have any suspicion, it will be troublesome.

……

the next day.

The three little ones followed Zhao Feng out of the palace, and there was another person accompanying them, who was the eighth prince who was invited.

"Wow, Ankang, your carriage is so nice, isn't it?"

The eighth prince sat in the carriage with the three little ones. He looked at the details inside the carriage curiously and exclaimed in amazement.

Even though he was a prince, it was the first time for him to ride in such a luxurious carriage.

Although he had seen this carriage several times, this was the first time he sat in it himself.

There was no feeling of bumps inside the carriage. It was like sitting on flat ground. Watching the scenery outside the window slowly receding, it was an extremely comfortable feeling.

Moreover, the space inside the carriage is extremely spacious, more than enough for four people.

Some of the tools inside were fixed in place with sophisticated mechanisms, so even if the carriage was turned over, they would not move at all.

However, those who know how to use the mechanism can easily move these tools with just a light press, which is truly ingenious.

The three little ones smiled as they watched the Eighth Prince, who was new to the carriage.

At the beginning, their behavior was similar to that of the Eighth Prince, except that they had now become accustomed to the comfort of the carriage.

Zhao Feng and Xu Lang drove the car themselves, and there were eunuchs in flowery clothes secretly protecting them on this trip.

After leaving the palace, they walked all the way to a teahouse near Ping An Trading Company.

The teahouse looks very high-end. Although the first floor is a hall, the seats are separated by roller curtains to provide excellent privacy.

The second floor is the private rooms, with small halls separating them. The corridors are filled with exquisite potted plants and lush greenery.

This is obviously a high-end place for doing business, which is very convenient for many nearby chambers of commerce to come here to do business.

However, such a place is obviously not affordable for ordinary businessmen, and it is obvious that it is not a place with low consumption.

The carriage arrived at the entrance of the teahouse. The three little ones and the eighth prince got off the carriage. Zhao Feng led them in, while Xu Lang waited downstairs.

When I arrived at the private room upstairs, I found that there were already several people waiting there.

As soon as Princess Ankang and the Eighth Prince came in, they immediately stood up and waited until the door was closed before greeting them:
"I have met your two highnesses."

They bowed to Princess Ankang and the Eighth Prince respectively.

The eighth prince nodded as a response, and then took a seat as arranged by Zhao Feng.

The Eighth Prince knew that he was not the protagonist here, so he sat aside and watched the show in a low profile.

This was actually the process of Princess Ankang receiving the award. He just came down to watch the fun by chance.

The eighth prince planned to remain mute in the teahouse and just watch Princess Ankang receive the award, and then wait to go to Ci'en Temple to help introduce them to the abbot there.

The few people waiting in the teahouse were all familiar faces to Li Xuan. They were Wei Zhen and several of his hunting team members.

Ever since the last time their Northern Team was hunted down by the White Wolf Guards of the Desert, Li Xuan had only seen Wei Zhen once in the palace, and had not seen the others again.

At this time, Wei Zhen was accompanied by four young hunting officers, one of whom was Yan Shang.

Yan Shang had risked his life to break out and return to Daxing for help, but was blocked by the White Wolf Guards not far from Changbai Town. However, it caused quite a stir, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs received the news, which led to Li Xuan and Zhao Feng going to the rescue.

If it weren't for Yan Shang, no one in the Northern Team led by Wei Zhen would have been able to escape the pursuit of the White Wolf Guards and would have ended up dying in the Northern Territory.

Li Xuan had quite an impression of this young eunuch who came from the Imperial Household Department, was very capable, but a little shy on weekdays.

Yan Shang also saw Li Xuan. Seeing the cat doctor who saved his life, he smiled shyly and nodded secretly to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan nodded happily in return, grinning.

As for the other three hunting officers, Li Xuan was not very familiar with them. He only remembered that they were also members of Wei Zhen's team. Wei Zhen did not intend to introduce them. After the greetings, he went straight to work.

"Your Highness, by order of His Majesty, you may choose any item from the North Team's harvest this year."

After saying that, Wei Zhen took out a list which recorded their gains in the northern border for the whole year.

The ones with the highest value were written at the front of the list to make it easier for Princess Ankang to choose.

The three little ones then realized that the prize for their competition this month was to choose one from the North Team’s harvest this year.

The three kids thought that this was not a bad reward and looked at the list carefully.

The Eighth Prince on the side widened his eyes and asked in shock:

"Wait, have these things been screened after entering the private library?"

The eighth prince originally wanted to remain mute, but he couldn't hold it anymore within a moment after he came in.

In response to the Eighth Prince's question, Wei Zhen answered honestly:

"To reply to Your Highness, we have not yet entered the private vault for screening."

"what???"

The eighth prince's exaggerated reaction was particularly jarring in this quiet teahouse.

But his voice was only confined to the private room where they were. When he got outside the room, the voice was suppressed and did not travel too far.

Li Xuan glanced outside the door and felt a little surprised.

“Are those green plants outside the door? The sound insulation effect is actually quite good.”

Li Xuan thought to himself, and only then did he realize that this teahouse was not just high-end on the surface, but also had quite good content.

Seeing the Eighth Prince's exaggerated reaction, Princess Ankang asked curiously:

"Myna, is there any difference?"

The Eighth Prince did not hide anything and told everyone what he knew.

"I heard that the best prey hunted by the hunting officials are first presented to the emperor, and then some things that have been selected from the private warehouse are taken out, either as rewards or sent to the outside world for trade."

"I heard that the hunters' harvest every year includes quite a few incredible treasures."

After hearing what the Eighth Prince said, Li Xuan was moved and looked at the items on the list more carefully.

The hunting officials hunted all over the world on behalf of the emperor and helped Emperor Yongyuan collect treasures.

Just like the Mengyuan Dragon Fish they had eaten before, it should have been made by the hunting officer.

It seems that in addition to the profits from Ping An Trading Company, the gains from hunting officials were also a big part of Emperor Yongyuan's personal income.

Moreover, the place for today's meeting was chosen here probably because it is close to Ping An Commercial Bank.

After Princess Ankang has picked out the rest, she will put what needs to be stored into the warehouse and what needs to be traded, and Ping An Commercial Bank will definitely be needed at that time.

But compared to Princess Ankang, the recipient of the award, the Eighth Prince was more interested and asked curiously:

"Did you catch any spiritual pets this year?"

"There are no cubs, but there are a few eggs. It's just that I haven't determined whether they can hatch yet."

Hearing Wei Zhen's words, the Eighth Prince's eyes lit up immediately, and he persuaded Princess Ankang:

"Ankang, if you have no other choice, you can try these."

"If we can hatch a good spirit pet, it will be a great help."

A Xiang, who was raised by the Eighth Prince, was actually obtained in this way. However, when the Eighth Prince got him, A Xiang had already hatched from the shell, but he was only about the size of a chick at that time. In a few years, A Xiang was raised by the Eighth Prince to be mighty and strong.

But as the Eighth Prince was speaking, he suddenly noticed an unfriendly gaze.

Seeing Li Xuan staring at him, he swallowed nervously and couldn't help but change his tone:

"Of course, the other treasures are good too."

"Ankang, you already have this black cat, so other pets are redundant to you."

"Ah, yeah, you know all that..."

The Eighth Prince realized that he had said the wrong thing. The more he spoke, the more guilty he felt. He was so insecure.

Li Xuan shook his head and didn't bother with the boy.

He didn't care if there were more beastmen in Jingyang Palace.

Compared to humans, Jingyang Palace is actually more suitable for accepting new beastmen, so that they can be more lively.

However, Li Xuan has no plans to recruit new members for the time being.

In the backyard of Jingyang Palace, Dabai was causing trouble for the Golden Pig every day.

The water in the pool is always running low every day, and we have to trouble them to add water themselves.

The water in the pond did not evaporate because of the golden pig, but was dug by Dabai every day.

The golden pig was bullied by Dabai, so he hid deep in the pond.

The water in the deep part of the pond was very hot, and Dabai didn't dare to swim in, as it would make him uncomfortable.

At first, Dabai drank hot water every day, trying to drink the pool dry one day, but later found that it was too slow, so he paddled at the edge of the pool and had a lot of fun, making the backyard muddy every time.

Dabai didn't remember the lesson and acted like this again the next day.

Sometimes, Li Xuan's teachings were harsh and the pigs would behave themselves for a few days, but after a few days, Dabai and the golden pig would start making trouble and the pigs would forget all about it and start digging in the water to fish the golden pigs out.

If there were a few more of these things, Li Xuan would probably be exhausted to death.

He said that kindergarten teachers are either listless or bad-tempered after work.

Dabai and Jinzhu were just like the most mischievous kids in kindergarten, causing Li Xuan to waste countless of his energy.

Some people may say that the Golden Pig was just staying in the pond and was clearly an innocent victim, and it was just Dabai who was being naughty.

fart!

There is a reason why Dabai would rather be taught a lesson by Li Xuan than to empty the pool of water.

As soon as the golden pig feels safe, it starts looking for trouble and hides in the pool to spit out white water.

And it’s boiling water!
According to Li Xuan, either Dabai or Jinzhu deserved to be beaten to death.

It’s all so damn bad!
Thinking of these two guys, Li Xuan felt excited. He took a breath silently for a moment to calm himself down, and then carefully selected the prizes with Princess Ankang.

If they didn't understand something, they would ask Zhao Feng and Wei Zhen, who would patiently explain it in detail. The Eighth Prince, who was listening on the side, wished he was the one who chose the prize.

The Eighth Prince had heard of many of the good things on the list, but had never seen them.

If I could take one back, it would be really worth it.

Today, the Eighth Prince finally found out how Princess Ankang had won the first place in this competition before.

"This is so cool!"

After spending an hour, the three children finally made the final choice.

"Manager Zhao, Captain Wei."

"I've made my choice. This is it."

Princess Ankang tapped the list with her finger.

Everyone looked and saw the items on the list.

[Arctic Supreme Shell. ]

Li Xuan was stunned and couldn't help thinking:

"Hmm? Is it the Arctic clam I know?"
