The emperor's family raised me in poverty? But I have an innate ability.

Chapter 186: Tianjiao Meeting! Su Changqing's Fury!
The respectful words of the Third Prince Zhou Yu echoed throughout the entire floor.

Su Changqing was slightly stunned when he saw this, and before he could come to his senses, he could already hear people gasping in shock.

"This prince actually bowed down and apologized personally?"

"My God, what is this person's identity? Even the Third Prince is so respectful to him in Tianyun City?"

"That seems to be more than just respect. Did you see the cold sweat on the Third Prince's forehead? It seems more like fear?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes on Su Changqing changed again and again.

No one expected that this unremarkable young man could have such terrifying strength.

Even the prince had to be treated with caution, for fear of offending him.

Everyone was talking secretly, guessing the identity of this young man.

At this time, Zhou Tong, who was kneeling on the ground and slapping himself continuously, was dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

The fear in his eyes was even stronger than when he faced Zhou Yu just now.

He was not stupid. Even the Third Prince had to bow so fearfully, so what could a mere prince and heir of the royal family do to him?
It was not until this moment that he realized that Zhou Yu’s tough approach was not to punish him, but to save him!
Pop, pop!

Thinking of this, Zhou Tong knew that he was in big trouble. He trembled all over and used all his strength to slap himself on the mouth.

But in just a moment, he was almost unrecognizable.

The powerful man from the palace standing by no longer dared to stop him. Instead, he looked in the direction of Su Changqing with fear and trepidation, without any trace of arrogance.

……

"Brother Zhou, you don't have to do this."

Su Changqing came back to his senses and helped Zhou Yu, who was performing the ceremony, up.

There were some conflicts between the two, but they were just minor issues.

Now that he is a prince and has bowed in front of everyone, even if he is very angry, he should calm down.

"Ashamed."

Zhou Yu stood up and said with a wry smile: "That man is my brother. He was used to being arrogant. It was the royal family who neglected to discipline him."

"If you are still angry, I will beat you or kill you. Go ahead."

"I promise that no one from the Zixiao Kingdom's royal family will cause any trouble to you, Senior Brother."

Su Changqing looked up when he heard this, and when he saw Zhou Tong, whose face was about to be slapped off, his anger subsided a lot.

"That's all."

He waved his hand and smiled casually, "After all, nothing serious happened."

The Third Prince came forward to mediate in such a humble manner, and Su Changqing was not going to give in. He chuckled and let the matter go.

Zhou Yu felt relieved when he heard this, and then asked cautiously: "Brother Changqing, I wonder if Senior Wu is here?"

"In Tianyun City, I still have some face, so I should show my hospitality as a host."

Facing a quasi-emperor at the peak level, let alone Zhou Yu, even the king himself would not dare to be careless.

"Teacher has some things to do, I just happened to be resting in Tianyun City."

After saying this, Su Changqing chuckled and said goodbye: "Thank you, Brother Zhou, for helping me out. See you in Xiaoxian Sect in the future."

After saying that, Su Changqing prepared to leave.

The Liu family is going to hold a birthday party the day after tomorrow. He is not familiar with the route and it will be troublesome if he misses the date.

However, as soon as Su Changqing turned around, Zhou Yu hurriedly said:

"Brother, don't worry. Now that we have come to Tianyun City and something like this has happened, I should definitely hold a banquet to apologize."

He had some conflicts with Su Changqing in the past, so now that they met again, he naturally wanted to make friends with them.

However, after seeing that Su Changqing was not very interested, he leaned forward and whispered:

"Brother Changqing, are you going to the Liu family too?"

"It just so happens that many talented people from all over the world have gathered in Tianyun City recently, and they all want to go and celebrate the birthday."

"Brother Changqing, why don't you go and make some friends? Then we can go to the Liu family together and have someone to accompany us on the way."

Zhou Yu also received a lot of information about the feud between Su Changqing and the Liu family, but he didn't care.

The Zixiao Kingdom is located in the southern region, so it goes without saying who it will side with.

He will also represent Zixiao Country to celebrate the birthday this time, and he is not afraid of offending the Liu family because of Su Changqing.

"All kinds of talented people?"

Su Changqing, who was about to say goodbye, brightened his eyes when he heard this.

Since he started practicing, the people he has had the most contact with are his fellow disciples from the Small Immortal Sect, and he rarely interacts with disciples from other forces.

Now that he heard that many people of his age gathered here, he suddenly became very interested.

Traveling is a good way to make friends and broaden your horizons. This is a great opportunity.

The most important thing is that these people will go to the Liu family by then, so there is no need to worry about missing the time.

"In that case, I am sorry to bother you."

After thinking for a moment, Su Changqing chuckled and said politely.

"Prince Sansan, the things you requested have arrived."

At this time, the Pavilion Master at the side came forward tremblingly, looked at Su Changqing with awe, then took out a storage ring and handed it to Zhou Yu.

"Haha, good. With this stepping stone, I think it will be much easier to make contact at the Tianjiao Conference."

After putting away the ring, Zhou Yu showed a hint of joy on his face.

"Brother Zhou, does Tianjiao need to prepare anything else?"

Su Changqing was stunned when he saw this and asked curiously.

"That's not necessary."

Zhou Yu smiled mysteriously and said, "At the Tianjiao Conference, a woman who looked like a banished immortal came."

"She has a strong background and stunning beauty. I have seen countless women in the palace, but that woman's appearance is beyond comparison."

As if recalling something, Zhou Yu's eyes showed a burning passion of amazement and obsession.

"Rare in the world, a natural beauty!"

As he spoke, he looked at Su Changqing and smiled softly:

"That fairy loves the four arts of Confucianism very much. I found a guqin for her, hoping to please her and spend a good night with her."

"Does Senior Brother Chang have any ideas? Do you want me to help you prepare a gift?"

Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows meaningfully at Su Changqing.

"Beautiful lady"

Su Changqing's ears suddenly rang with a silver bell-like laughter and a sweet smile.

There was a hint of longing in his eyes, and then he waved his hand, smiled and refused:

"No thanks, thank you for your kindness, Brother Zhou."

If it were something else, Su Changqing might be interested.

But beautiful woman.
After the appearance of that shallow glass flower, it became difficult for him to have room for another person in his heart.

"Haha, that's right. Senior Brother Changqing is determined to pursue the great path, so why would he be entangled by love affairs?"

Zhou Yu finished speaking with a smile, and then apologized, "Brother, please wait a moment. I have some household chores to deal with."

After saying this, he turned to look at Zhou Tong, the smile on his face fell, and he said coldly:

"Press into the Dali Temple and inform Prince Gong that Zhou Tong is not allowed to take a single step out of the Dali Temple without my permission."

"The rest of the people were taken to the Ministry of Justice's prison to await their fate."

There was no expression on Zhou Tong's face anymore, he sat slumped and bleeding.

The powerful men in the palace standing by looked terrified and at a loss as to what to do.

What was even more frightened was the Master of the Spiritual Weapon Pavilion who was standing nearby.

Seeing Zhou Yu's gaze, the Pavilion Master knelt down in front of Su Changqing.

"Young man, please spare my life. This happened because of my poor handling of the matter."

"I hope you will accept this ring as my apology."

Looking at the Pavilion Master who was trembling all over and holding a storage ring in his hands, Su Changqing hesitated.

"This"

Zhou Yu looked at the Pavilion Master with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "Brother, please accept it, otherwise he may not be able to sleep well in the future."

Su Changqing was not a pedantic person. Hearing this, he smiled and accepted the ring.

"Haha, I'll lead the way for you, brother."

Zhou Yu laughed out loud upon seeing this, and then led Su Changqing straight to the Tianjiao Club.

But when he was about to leave, Zhou Tong's weak and depressed voice came.

"The Third Prince has done something wrong and I am the one who is punishing him. Can you please tell me where this person came from?"

Zhou Yu glanced at Zhou Tong expressionlessly and said in a low voice:
"You just need to know that if his elders come, even if it means overthrowing the Purple Sky Nation, my father will still watch."

After saying this, Zhou Yu turned around and strode out of the Spiritual Weapon Pavilion.

After hearing this, Zhou Tong's eyes no longer showed any aggrieved look, only his body trembling like a sieve due to fear.

……

Tianyun City, Qilin Mansion.

This mansion was specially built by Zixiao Country for the talented and outstanding people in the country. In previous years, it was only opened for grand events.

But because of the Liu family's birthday banquet, all the geniuses gathered together, and Zixiao Country specially opened it these days.

This mansion covers a vast area, with numerous towers and courtyards, pavilions and waterside terraces, and beautiful and peaceful scenery.

At this time, in a large courtyard deep in the mansion, many young geniuses with extraordinary temperament gathered.

"Haha, Brother Zhao's cultivation is quite good, but as for the music, you'd better not embarrass yourself."

"Oh, you can't be any better. Compared with Fairy Meng, you are far behind."

"Of course, Fairy Meng's piano music is so elegant that only Brother Chu can rival her."

All the geniuses gathered together, talking and laughing non-stop. They looked very harmonious, but it seemed that they were all competing against each other secretly.

Moreover, when everyone was talking, they always looked at a woman in front of them intentionally or unintentionally.

The woman was wearing a purple dress, her face was like a peach blossom with spring dew on it, and her lips were like cherries without any rouge.

Her black hair was as dark as ink, her eyes were like spring water, and the anger, joy and charm in her gaze seemed to be able to capture the souls of all men in the world.

The woman did not do anything, but her every move affected the minds of everyone present.

"Miss, is there anything you like?"

Jin Er looked at her mistress and smiled softly, "I think Chu Ze is pretty good."

"He is from the Chu family, a hidden family. He has a noble status, is very capable, and is very good at the music that the young lady likes."

As she spoke, she looked at another person, "Mr. Feng is also okay. Although he is not good at music, he is an expert in calligraphy and painting. His hobbies match yours very well."

As Xian Banmeng's personal maid, Jin'er knew very well the purpose of her mistress's visit.

Choose your ideal husband.

Her young lady is already 24 years old this year. If she doesn't make a decision quickly, the fairy spirit in her body will be out of control.

When they were out, the sect leader had specifically told her to help with the selection and try to decide on the candidate this time.

"What's the difference between these two people?"

Xian Banmeng's starry eyes swept over and saw those pairs of fiery eyes. He sighed softly.
"These people are no different. They don't like me, they just like my appearance."

Jin Er smiled and said, "Who wouldn't like the young lady's appearance?"

"Don't even mention these men. Even a woman like me would be tempted."

Xian Banmeng shook his head and smiled, without saying anything more.

Today these men may fall in love with her because of her beauty, but tomorrow they will fall in love with someone else because of someone more beautiful.

The choice of Dharma partner, wealth, land and spiritual partner is very important, as they are the people who will accompany you throughout your life.

One day, people will get tired of pure beauty. What she needs is the compatibility of souls, the same interests, and the ability to stay together for a long time without getting tired of it.

This requirement is not high, but because of her stunning beauty, her personality is often overlooked.

Those men would never reject her and would always cater to her flattery.

This feeling was very boring to her.

"Miss, you have to choose one."

Jin Er sighed helplessly: "Could it be that when you can no longer suppress yourself, you will just find a random man?"

"Why not?"

Xian Banmeng looked into the distance and murmured in a low voice:
"If you really can't find the one you love, then find a man who is extremely evil."

"If I kill him afterwards, I will still be myself, but I will never marry."

Jin Er was shocked when she heard this, "Miss, you..."

"Okay, just kidding."

Xian Banmeng smiled, and all the young geniuses around him stared at him in amazement.

Jin'er looked at her young lady worriedly.

She knew very well that Xian Banmeng, who seemed weak, was actually very stubborn in some aspects.

"Miss, don't be discouraged. There are many men in the world. You will always find someone who can help you."

Jin'er wanted to say something to persuade them, but suddenly there was a commotion outside the courtyard.

"Zhou Yu, the third prince of Zixiao Kingdom, comes to visit Fairy Meng."

When the geniuses in the courtyard heard that someone was coming, their expressions varied.

Some people looked disdainful, while others stood up to greet him.

The identity of the third prince may be very noble outside, but he is not considered top-notch here.

But everyone still unconsciously became alert because this meant they had another competitor.

Outside the court, Zhou Yu nervously straightened his sleeves before striding in.

Su Changqing behind him watched curiously and followed Zhou Yu.

……

"I have heard of Fairy Meng for a long time. Seeing her today, she is even more famous than before."

When Zhou Yu came not far from Xian Banmeng, he looked at her dizzyingly beautiful face, and his usual calmness turned into a little nervous.

He tried his best to suppress the desire in his heart, but he couldn't help but look at her with a fiery look. Xianban had dreamed of this kind of look too many times.

She had a polite and distant smile on her face and nodded slightly, "Meet the Third Prince."

"I'm sorry for disturbing you by coming to Tianyun City without your permission."

Zhou Yu waved his hand, showing his princely grace, and smiled as calmly as possible:

"Fairy Meng, if you have any instructions in Tianyun City, please let me know. I still have some face here."

Xian Banmeng nodded with a smile, and then his eyes fell on Su Changqing.

Zhou Yu saw this and then he remembered that there was someone behind him. He quickly made way and introduced:

"This is my fellow senior fellow disciple, Su Changqing."

Su Changqing, who had been looking around, looked up when he heard this.

When he saw the gorgeous face of the woman in front of him, even though he was prepared, he was still amazed.

But in just a moment, his eyes regained their calmness, and he smiled gently and politely:
"Su Changqing from the Small Immortal Sect, nice to meet Fairy Meng. I have long heard of your great name."

Xian Banmeng didn't care at first, but when she saw the calmness in Su Changqing's eyes and the clean and gentle smile on his face, she couldn't help but be stunned.

How long has it been? She remembered that it had been a long, long time since she saw such a pure smile on the face of a man of the same age since she became an adult.

There is no annoying heat and no deliberate affectation.

The gentle tone and clear eyes were just like when he was facing ordinary people.

In just a moment, Su Changqing in front of him aroused Xian Banmeng's great interest.

"I've heard of you for a long time? Master Su, have you heard of me before?"

Xian Banmeng spoke with a smile, curiosity lingering in her spring-like eyes.

"I heard a lot from Brother Zhou on the way here."

Su Changqing chuckled when he heard this and said, "Now that I see that the young lady is worthy of the name of a fairy, it's no wonder that Brother Zhou is so fascinated by her."

"Brother Zhou, what are you fascinated by?"

"Then Mr. Su looks down on me?"

Listening to Su Changqing's polite and perfunctory words, Xian Banmeng blinked and asked softly as if jokingly.

When these words were spoken, Zhou Yu and the young geniuses present were all stunned.

In the past, when someone came to visit him, Xian Banmeng would just say a few words and then send them off, with a distant and polite smile on his face.

But when facing Su Changqing, Xian Banmeng actually joked like a friend?

This made everyone's expression change slightly, and they looked at Su Changqing with scrutinizing eyes.

"Dream girl."

Su Changqing looked at the slightly hostile eyes around him and said helplessly:

"Your words have caused me a lot of trouble."

The almost complaining tone made Xian Banmeng stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly smiled.

The happiness that came from the bottom of her heart made the smile on her face as bright as a hundred flowers blooming.

It seemed that she had really met a man who could treat her as an ordinary person.

The tone of voice, like the laughter and scolding between friends, made her very happy.

Zhou Yu and the other geniuses on the side stared with their eyes wide open, the heat in their eyes revealed uncontrollably.

"Haha, it's my fault. I apologize to Master Su."

Xian Banmeng picked up a glass of wine, drank it all, then looked at Su Changqing and said in a reproachful tone:

"Mr. Su, will you let me drink alone? Can I have a drink with you?"

Su Changqing was a little hesitant because he had never drunk alcohol.

But when I saw that the girls were drinking, I thought about what was said in the books, about how the people in the martial arts world ate meat and drank wine with big mouthfuls of mouthfuls, carefree and unrestrained.

Su Changqing gritted his teeth, picked up the glass of wine and drank it all.

But then.
"Ahem, why is it so spicy!"

That wine was no ordinary wine. It was extremely spicy. Su Changqing, who had never drunk alcohol before, choked and his face turned red, and he kept coughing.

This scene made Zhou Yu and the young geniuses present smile slightly.

You are an adult now. Have you never drunk alcohol?

"Pfft, have you never drunk alcohol?"

Seeing Su Changqing’s face flushed from the spiciness, Xian Banmeng asked while trying not to laugh.

"Is this possible after drinking?"

Su Changqing said this in annoyance, and hurriedly poured himself a glass of water and drank it in big gulps.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Seeing Su Changqing so naive, Xian Banmeng smiled charmingly, her eyes were full of smiles.

The look in her eyes when she looked at Su Changqing was full of light, which even she herself did not notice.

It is exactly the opposite of Xianbanmeng.

The young geniuses present at this time looked at Xian Banmeng, who was chatting happily and smiling like a flower, and their eyes turned red with jealousy.

They had been here for a long time, but it was the first time they saw the fairy smile so happily.

"not good!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhou Yu hurriedly waved his sleeves, and an ancient long zither fell into the middle of the field.

He changed the subject and said:

"I heard that Fairy Meng is very fond of music, so I found a guqin specially for this purpose. I hope Fairy Meng likes it."

After saying that, Zhou Yu looked at Su Changqing with some resentment.

Originally, this guqin was meant to please the beautiful lady, but unexpectedly, the beautiful lady was happy, but not because of him.

"Thank you, Third Prince, for your thoughtfulness."

When he saw the guqin, Xian Banmeng stopped smiling, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes, and he thanked with a smile.

Because of her Charm Fairy Body, she cannot practice too fast, but must suppress it as much as possible.

Therefore, she had a lot of free time since she was a child and learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

At first, it was just to kill boredom, but slowly it became a hobby that I couldn't give up.

This guqin really touched her heart.

"Whether a piano is good or not depends on its tone. Let Chu try out this piano."

Seeing the guqin placed in the field, Chu Ze strode forward to the guqin, then looked at Xian Banmeng and said with fiery eyes:

"Fairy Meng, please listen to this song and see how it sounds."

At this time, everyone in the field realized the crisis. How could they let Zhou Yu and Su Changqing have all the glory?
Originally, many people wanted to go up, but when they saw Chu Ze standing up, they could only sit down in disappointment.

The eldest son of the reclusive Chu family is more proficient in music. If they go forward now, they will only bring humiliation upon themselves.

Soon, melodious piano sounds were heard, like a fairy spring flowing in the deep forest valley.

Everyone present praised in their hearts when they heard this and listened quietly.

At this time, Xian Banmeng quietly came to Su Changqing's side.

"Does Mr. Su know music?"

She looked at the man next to her and asked with a chuckle.

"You know a little bit."

Su Changqing, who had just stopped eating spicy food, nodded casually.

"Oh?"

Xian Banmeng's eyes lit up slightly, and he asked with interest on his face, "So what do you think of Mr. Chu's talk about this piece of music?"

"Um"

After a brief pause, Su Changqing gave an objective evaluation: "The technique is acceptable, but the artistic conception is lacking, so it can be regarded as..."

He hesitated and said, "It's okay."

The four arts of Confucianism are divided into form, skill, intention and Tao.

This Chu Ze's musicality is just the beginning of his mastery of skills.

It might sound pleasant to others, but if Su Changqing heard it,
It's not to say that it's unbearable to hear, but it's just like that. "It's okay" is his way of saying it as least to offend others.

But Su Changqing did not see that Chu Ze, who was playing the piano, had veins bulging on his forehead.

However, as the song was not yet finished, he did not get angry.

"Okay?"

Xian Banmeng opened her red lips slightly and said in surprise, "Master Chu's music skills are so good, is it just okay?"

"My skills are very advanced, are they very strong?"

Su Changqing looked at Xian Banmeng in surprise.

The skills are so advanced, isn’t this the foundation?
When he first studied with Mr. Ru, well, he was at this level in the first month and was severely criticized by the teacher.

"Is it very strong?"

Xian Banmeng shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

With his mastery of musical skills, Chu Ze, at his age, is not a weakling even among Confucians.

What's more, Chu Ze is practicing multiple subjects, which makes it even more rare.

But from what Su Changqing said, it seems that his musicality is even better than the other party's?

Thinking of this, Xian Banmeng looked at the man next to him and became even more curious.

But before she could ask more questions, Chu Ze had already finished the song, and there was a burst of admiration in the audience.

However, there was no smile on Chu Ze's face, and he looked at Su Changqing with a gloomy gaze.

"This Mr. Su doesn't seem to think highly of my music."

"I wonder if you could enlighten me!"

Chu Ze was already unhappy with Su Changqing, and the comment just now of "it's okay" made him even more furious.

Now that the song is over, it's time to attack.

Su Changqing was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "Forget it. The music I know is not suitable for this occasion."

Qin Sha's music is too murderous and it might disrupt the atmosphere here.

"Humph!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Ze spoke in a cold voice, without giving any face: "Is it not suitable or can't it!"

"How dare you say my music is just 'okay'? Who gave you the guts to make such a random comment?"

"If you don't know how to do it, then just listen carefully. No one will think you are dumb!"

Su Changqing frowned slightly upon hearing this, and said with some displeasure: "Since it is a song discussed in public, it is for people to appreciate, and there are people who like or hate it."

"Why can we only say good things but not judge?"

Without waiting for Chu Ze to answer, everyone who was already jealous of Xian Banmeng started to offer their help.

"Who do you think you are? Do you think you can judge Brother Chu's music?"

"It's so funny. He really thinks he's a great scholar. He's commenting on this."

"Haha, if he really had the ability, it would be fine, but in the end he doesn't even dare to talk, what a joke."

Everyone present had the same goal at this moment, because Su Changqing posed the greatest threat to them.

All kinds of sarcastic and mocking words can be heard everywhere.

The more Su Changqing listened, the uglier his expression became, and the more disappointed he became with these so-called geniuses.

He came here to make new friends and broaden his horizons.

But when he looked around, he found no one he could make friends with, just a bunch of villains.

"Everyone!"

Xian Banmeng stood up at this time, frowning and said: "It's just a song in my spare time, why are you so aggressive?"

It would have been better if Xian Banmeng didn't say anything. As soon as she started to speak up for Su Changqing, the jealousy of everyone present became even stronger.

Not only did the chilling words not stop, but they increased in number.

"Brother Changqing, let's go first."

At this time, Zhou Yu came up to him somewhat embarrassedly and quietly pulled Su Changqing's sleeve.

"Sorry Mr. Su."

Looking at the silent Su Changqing, Xian Banmeng said with an apologetic look in his eyes:

"It's all my fault. I didn't expect it to be like this."

"Let's forget about it today. How about I come to your house and apologize tomorrow?"

Xian Banmeng can’t say that he has a good impression of Su Changqing now, but he definitely hopes to become friends with him.

Because Su Changqing was the first man who could ignore her appearance and focus on her herself.

She didn't want to miss out on this potential friend because of some irrelevant person.

"It's not your fault. It's my fault for coming here."

Su Changqing stood up calmly.

Listening to the cold words around him, he gradually became angry.

But he did not turn around and leave. Instead, he walked slowly to the center of the field and sat cross-legged in front of the guqin.

"Oh, didn't you say your song was inappropriate? How come it's okay now?"

Chu Ze had a sneer on his face, and the people present had amusement in their eyes, all waiting for Su Changqing to make a fool of himself.

"It was indeed not suitable just now."

Su Changqing finished speaking calmly, and slowly stroked the guqin with both hands.

"But now, it's just right!"

Zheng!
As soon as the sound of the piano began, a horrifying and murderous aura instantly enveloped the world!
