Supreme Golden Palace

Chapter 34: Four Generals (Part )
"Aye,"

At the Duke of Qi's mansion, Lü Shangren arrived before the voice. Lü Yongji, who was chatting and laughing with his retainers, first had a look of joy on his face, but then turned gloomy.

"You evil creature, you still remember to come back? As soon as you left home, you threw this Qijun Mansion, your father and me into oblivion." Lu Yongji stood up suddenly, full of anger at his lack of fighting spirit.

Faced with Lu Yongji's rebuke, Lu Shang was speechless. Having lived two lives as a human being, he was cold-hearted by nature and devoted himself to seeking the truth. Apart from the truth, he had no other thoughts. Therefore, although Lu Shang had true feelings for the Duke of Qi's Mansion and even for his father Lu Yongji, he was able to give up when the time came.

This is also the main reason why Lu Shang was able to stay in the Secretariat for three or four months and had no intention of returning home.

Seeing that Lu Shang was so submissive and unwilling to argue, Lu Yongji was furious but couldn't vent it for a while.

"well,"

Finally, Lu Yongji just sighed, bowed solemnly to the retainers beside him, and said: "Sir, I am sorry to have made a fool of myself. This evil creature is so willful and absurd. I will need your care and attention in the future."

Seeing this, the retainer hurriedly returned the greeting, saying, "Your Excellency, there's no need for this. Thank you for not abandoning me and taking me in as a retainer. For over a year, you've been so kind to me, and I'm deeply grateful. I have no way of repaying you. Looking after the Crown Prince is my duty."

"This is not my job,"

Lu Yongji sighed, "With your abilities, being my retainer is a waste of talent. I know your abilities and that you will definitely rise to prominence in the future, so I should treat you with courtesy. How can I talk about favors?"

The retainer said in a deep voice, "The Lord of the County considers this to be normal, but Si Lang cannot accept the Lord of the County's favor as a matter of course. This is a matter of righteousness. Please rest assured, Lord of the County, with Si Lang by your side, he will protect you during the imperial examination and martial arts test."

Lu Yongji nodded and said, "With your words, I can rest assured."

While Lu Yongji was speaking, Lu Shang was quietly observing the retainer whom Lu Yongji called "Sir".

He was a handsome young man with a face like purple jade. His eyebrows slanted down to his temples, his eyes pierced with spirit, and his features were chiseled as if by a knife or an axe, revealing an innate determination. Just by looking at him, Lü Shang knew this man was no ordinary person.

After comprehending the twenty-four gods of Huangting, Lu Shang's eye god among the eight gods of the upper part has begun to take shape.

The so-called eye god is named Ling Jiansheng, with the courtesy name Daotong. His complexion is five-colored. He is the god of the eyes, in charge of vision, enabling people to see objects and distinguish colors, and understand the shapes and changes of all things in the world.

Lu Shang's eyes are sharp and can see ahead of others. They can see through the subtle things.

"You little brat, why don't you come and meet the master?" Just as Lu Shang was looking at the guest, Lu Yongji suddenly turned around and said to Lu Shang.

It was obvious that Lu Yongji valued this retainer very much and did not treat him as an ordinary retainer. He spoke to him with great respect.

Lu Shang bowed slightly and said, "Lu Shang, my courtesy name is Feixiong, nice to meet you, sir."

Seeing this, the retainer returned the greeting and said, "I am Shang Silang, the retainer, and I greet the prince."

Shojiro!
After Lu Shang recited it silently twice, he looked at Lu Yongji in surprise. He really didn't expect that there would be such a person among Lu Yongji's followers.

The Duke of Qi's Mansion has only been around for a short time and has very little foundation. Normally, capable people would not come to the Mansion even if they wanted to be its retainers.

No wonder Lü Yongji treated Shang Silang with such courtesy. It was a rare opportunity to find such a capable retainer, so he cherished him and sought to win his heart. After Lü Shang and Shang Silang introduced themselves, Lü Yongji nodded slightly and then said to Lü Shang, "I'm sure you're aware of the imperial court's special examinations. These are rare opportunities. If you can earn your place in the examinations, your future will be assured!"

"Aye asked me to return home because he wanted me to prepare for the Enke exam next March?"

Lu Shang was stunned, then subconsciously looked at Shang Silang beside him.

Lu Yongji had no idea that Lu Shang was no longer the same person he used to be, and his martial arts skills were almost at the peak of humanity. But even so, Lu Yongji still let Lu Shang take part in the special martial arts test, which showed that he had some confidence. This could not help but make Lu Shang think in a wrong way.

"What are you thinking, little brat? Do you think your father wants to find someone to impersonate you to take the martial arts test? Your father wants you to have a future, but he wouldn't be so demented as to seek medical help from anyone."

Seeing the strange look in Lu Shang's eyes, Lu Yongji knew what Lu Shang was thinking without even thinking. He sneered, "The fact that Prince Kaoshan has been appointed as the chief examiner this time shows how much His Majesty values ​​the Enlightenment Examination. Even if I had the courage to cheat in the Enlightenment Examination, I wouldn't dare cheat. If Prince Kaoshan finds out, even if I had ten heads, they wouldn't be enough to chop off."

"Besides, who says that if Enke leaves his name, he must be partial to others and commit fraud?"

"Mr. Shang will also be there during the Enko martial arts test. Although he can't fight for you, he can eliminate those ranked ahead of you early."

Ever since Lü Yongji had witnessed Shang Silang's martial prowess, he knew that Shang Silang was no ordinary man, and that he would rise to prominence if his luck turned. Therefore, he tried his best to win him over, never neglecting him. He knew that Shang Silang valued friendship and loyalty, and that if he showed kindness and loyalty to him, he would repay his kindness with his life.

Although Lü Yongji was neither good at literature nor martial arts, he had a good eye. He controlled Shang Silang tightly and made him his retainer.

"Mr. Shang,"

Lu Shang nodded slightly to Shang Silang with a meaningful look.
"Prince,"

Shang Silang's expression was solemn. At this moment, he had vaguely sensed the terrifying power of this prince.

It's not that Shang Silang has the ability to see through Lu Shang, but people who practice martial arts have extremely sharp intuition after reaching the stage of marrow training and blood transfusion. In addition, Lu Shang did not deliberately restrain his energy.

So when Shang Silang approached Lu Shang, all the hairs on his body stood up, and an inexplicable fear suddenly struck his heart, as if Lu Shang in front of him was not a human, but a Tyrannosaurus Rex wearing human skin.

This was an unusually novel experience for Shang Silang. Ever since he met the reclusive master Ning Luchen at the Qingyu Temple on Cuifeng Mountain and was accepted as his last disciple, taught him the Overlord Spear, and later passed down three treasures, he had never been defeated.

He thought that apart from the immortals from otherworldly realms, he had no rivals in the world, but he didn't expect to meet a freak like Lu Shang today.

That's right, he is a freak. At this moment, Lu Shang can only be described as a freak. The divine blood of Gonggong combined with the twenty-four gods of Huangting makes Lu Shang's strength beyond common sense.

Although he has not yet reached the level of a martial arts immortal, Lu Shang's strength may not be inferior to that of a true martial arts immortal.

However, he has not yet achieved immortality in his physical body, nor has he undergone a subtle transformation in his Dao heart, so he lacks some combat power.

But at the very least, Lu Shang had 70% of the combat power of a true martial arts immortal, which was enough to sweep away all the warriors below the level of martial arts immortal.

Please note that martial arts immortals are different from orthodox human immortals. Although martial arts immortals have a short lifespan, their martial arts power is extremely powerful, comparable to that of earthly immortals.
