Eternal Sword

Chapter 226 Thunder Talent
Early morning on the second day.

Chen Tang and Yuan Qingmo entered the palace together.

But Chen Tang went to the harem.

Yuan Qingmo, as the King of Wei and the Commander-in-Chief of the Qilin Division, went to court to meet the emperor.

According to Yuan Qingmo, the official rank of the Prince's Grand Tutor was of the first grade, one of the three masters, and his status was lower than that of the Grand Tutor and the Grand Preceptor.

In previous lives, most of the official positions of the three masters were honorary positions.

But in Qian Kingdom, due to the existence of Xuantian Sect, the status of the Three Masters is extremely high.

For example, the Grand Tutor is the teacher of the emperor, and is held by the current national teacher, who is of the first rank.

When he reprimanded the emperor in front of the three ministers in the study, Yuan Qingshan did not dare to refute.

The Taifu is the Prince's Taifu, in short, the Prince's master, who is the Left Protector of Xuantian Sect and is of the first rank.

The Prince's Grand Tutor is roughly equivalent to an older brother and companion of the Prince, and of course he also has the responsibility to teach and protect the Prince.

Generally speaking, Chen Tang did not need to go to court to pay homage.

Chen Tang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

If I become some kind of official, I have to go to court every day. How is this different from punching in and out at work in my previous life?
Chen Tang went to the harem, ready to meet Yuan Qingmu.

The eldest princess has not yet married, and should still live in the harem.

Several palace maids had been waiting in front of the harem. When they saw Chen Tang coming, they came forward to greet him and took Chen Tang to the eldest princess's residence.

Yuan Qingmu waited in a pavilion for a long time.

"Meet the eldest princess."

Chen Tang came closer and saluted respectfully.

Yuan Qingmu smiled and said angrily, "Stop pretending!"

"Hey!"

Chen Tang smiled when he heard that, and sat down opposite Yuan Qingmu. He picked up the freshly brewed tea and drank it in one gulp without fear of the heat.

The palace maids around took a peek, their pupils trembled, and their jaws almost dropped to the ground.

It would be fine if this person could enter the harem at will.

How can he be so presumptuous in front of the eldest princess!
But seeing that the princess didn't care, many palace maids pretended not to see it, but they became more curious.

From the looks of it, the two seemed very familiar with each other.

Yuan Qingmu waved his hand, dismissing all the palace maids, then looked at Chen Tang and asked with a smile: "I heard that you have made friends with many beautiful girls while traveling in the martial arts world?"

"Who said that?"

Chen Tang said: "That's not the case."

He counted and it seemed that he only knew two of them in total, which was far from "quite a few".

Yuan Qingmu said: "There is a Fairy Jade Flute who is said to be the most beautiful woman in the Jianghu of Nanxia and the top of the Human Ranking. I have never seen her. Is she really that beautiful?"

"Ah."

Chen Tang nodded subconsciously.

Yuan Qingmu raised her eyebrows.

Chen Tang felt something was wrong and quickly said, “But it’s a little worse than yours.”

Yuan Qingmu was delighted, and then asked, "I heard that you also know the granddaughter of the former Emperor Wu, and you shared life and death with her and fought against the enemy together?"

"Well, we are all friends..."

Chen Tang replied ambiguously.

We can't dwell on this matter any longer.

Chen Tang's heart moved, and he suddenly asked: "By the way, why didn't I see Zhiwei, how is she?"

Yuan Qingmu hesitated for a moment and said weakly: "You have to promise me first, I will tell you the truth, don't be angry..."

"You say it."

Chen Tang waved his hand.

Yuan Qingmu said: "She was taken away by a Xuantian Sect master." "Huh?"

Chen Tang frowned slightly.

Yuan Qingmu quickly explained: "After we returned to the palace, the Grand Tutor accidentally saw Zhiwei and realized that she had the aptitude to practice the mysterious arts."

Chen Tang said: "When we were testing in Wu'an County, I remember that Zhiwei couldn't practice."

Yuan Qingmu nodded and said, "Grandmaster said that Xuantian Temples in various places can only test the five spiritual root attributes of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, but there are some spiritual roots with special attributes that Xuantian Temple cannot test."

"Zhiwei belongs to one of these categories, and can practice the mystical arts of thunder."

Over the past year, Chen Tang has not had a very good impression of Xuantian Sect.

Of course he felt a little worried when Zhiwei joined the Xuantian Sect.

However, if Zhiwei has this rare talent for cultivation, it would be a waste if she doesn't practice it. I'm afraid only the Master Xuan of the Xuantian Sect can give her guidance and teach her the Taoism.

Yuan Qingmu continued, "At that time, I didn't really want Zhiwei to leave. After all, if she stayed with me, I could take better care of her and protect her."

"Later, I heard from the Grand Tutor that even in the Qian Kingdom, there was no master who could teach Zhiwei such a talent. Only in Nanxia was there a master who was qualified to teach Zhiwei the thunder-related mystical arts."

"Nanxia?"

Chen Tang's expression changed, and he asked, "Is there also Xuantian Sect in Nanxia?"

"Have."

Yuan Qingmu said: "It's just that it seems to be a branch of the Xuantian Sect of Qian Kingdom, but they both worship the Xuantian Immortal Venerable. Moreover, in Nanxia, ​​the influence of the Xuantian Sect is very small, far less than that of Qian Kingdom."

After a pause, Yuan Qingmu continued, "In fact, Zhiwei wants to practice the mysterious arts. I once asked her, and she said that she would become a powerful mysterious master and could protect us."

"However, Zhiwei was still a little hesitant about this matter. Later, when she heard that she was going to Nanxia to practice, she made up her mind and joined the Xuantian Sect to practice the mysterious arts."

Chen Tang nodded.

He had speculated at first that Zhiwei's home might be in Nanxia.

Perhaps this is the reason why Zhiwei wants to go to Nanxia.

"You won't blame me, will you?"

Yuan Qingmu asked cautiously.

Chen Tang shook his head and said, "Since Zhiwei made the decision herself, how can I blame you? But she is far away in Nanxia and has no acquaintances around her. I don't know how she is doing and whether she will be bullied."

"You can rest assured about that."

Yuan Qingmu said: "I heard from the Grand Master that Zhiwei's lightning spiritual roots are very rare among the Xuan Masters. The Xuan Master in Nanxia will definitely treat her like a treasure and will never let her suffer any grievances."

Chen Tang pondered in silence.

It would be best if Zhiwei could find her home in Nanxia and reunite with her biological parents.

The two chatted for a while, and then the guards brought the emperor's oral order, asking Chen Tang and Yuan Qingmu to go to the central hall.

Chen Tang and Yuan Qingmu stood up and followed the two Xuanwu guards, and soon arrived outside a study.

Push the door open and enter.

Yuan Qingshan sat in the main seat.

Yuan Qingmo was standing on the left. The two of them were looking at a roll of drawings, gesturing and studying something.

On the right hand side of Yuan Qingshan stood a young man in his early ten years old, whose features looked somewhat similar to Yuan Qingshan's.

Although he stood with his hands hanging down and looked honest, his eyes were rolling around and no one knew where his mind was wandering.

Chen Tang's heart moved.

This young man must be the current crown prince, Yuan Taiping.

This is also the person he, the prince's guardian, has to face.

On the way here, when Yuan Qingmo mentioned the prince, he seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he had something to hide.

"elder brother!"

Yuan Qingmu called out softly and walked quickly forward.

Chen Tang stood below, bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
