Misty Rain of the Old Times

"Well..., they are innate masters after all, and they are also the personal guards of the sixth prince of Rong State, Prince Luo. When they are called guards, Prince Luo probably entrusts his life in their hands. How can such people lack women? Can't they have as many as they want?" After listening to Chen Xuan's words, Zhao Erhe thought seriously and said with envy in his tone.

That's right, Chen Xuan agreed and said, "That makes sense."

"It's just that even though they share the same body, they have two separate minds after all. So... whose job is it when they're doing it? The other one just watches and experiences it? Wouldn't that be awkward?" Geng Hong was also thinking about this problem seriously.

Chen Xuanle said: "This is not difficult, whoever controls the body will be responsible for the work."

"Will the other person not be embarrassed?" Zhao Erhe stared curiously.

Glancing around, Chen Xuan whispered, "What's the awkward part? They're twins, inseparable, sharing a body when they have no other choice. Well, if you go to any of the bigger brothels, you'll find many people having more fun than you think."

"Xuan'er, you're joking. We only get so little salary every month. How can we afford to go to a brothel? We have a whole family to support at home. We have to save money," Geng Hong smiled awkwardly.

They had known each other for many years and had a good relationship, so they didn't shy away from it. Zhao Erhe hesitated and asked, "Has Brother Xuan seen it?"

Does what I saw in movies in my previous life count? In this life, although Xiao Gao and I have been to brothels many times, I have never seen it. I have heard of the fierce battles through the walls.

After a dry cough, Chen Xuan said: "No, I heard about it too."

The two of them suddenly felt bored, thinking that Xuan Ge'er was knowledgeable. Geng Hong took a sip of wine and got back to the point: "I don't know how that two-headed man lives. It's weird to think about it."

"There's nothing we can do about it. You'll just get used to it. We can just talk about it in private. Don't be prejudiced against others," Zhao Erhe immediately stopped laughing.

Geng Hong then said gloomily, "After all, he is an innate master. Who are we to be prejudiced against him? We don't even have time to envy him."

"That's true. Hey, Xuan'er, you are more capable than all of us. Tell me, they share the same body. Can they take turns practicing non-stop for twelve hours a day to be so powerful? Also, if they take action, wouldn't it be equivalent to two innate masters joining forces? Would it be a one-on-one fight or a group fight?" Zhao Erhe asked several questions at once.

Chen Xuan hadn't considered this issue before, and pondered, "Don't even mention it. It's possible that the two of them could take turns practicing non-stop. As for whether it would be a one-on-one fight or a group fight, it all depends on whether the other person would take action. If they join forces, with their special skills and the consistent circulation of their innate Qi, their combat power would be much more than just one plus one."

There are so many extraordinary people in the world, and nothing Chen Xuan says is impossible.

In fact, he can practice and improve his skills all day long. As for performing two different martial arts at the same time, he can do it, or even multiple martial arts. But this is based on his terrifying martial arts talent, while others are born with two-in-one talent.

"It seems that King Luo has found a treasure?" Zhao Erhe said in silence.

Geng Hong laughed and said, "Do you think it's easy to support one innate master? No, it's two. Uh, is it one or two? How do you divide it?"

"Never mind him. Many people in Rong State say that they are southern barbarians. It's normal for some strange people to appear there." Zhao Erhe decided not to dwell on it too much. That was not a level they could reach.

Chen Xuan didn't care about these things, but said: "It seems that Princess Fuyao's birthday is very lively."

"Of course not. She is the only unmarried daughter of His Majesty. So many people are watching her. Especially now that she is eighteen, the age for marriage. I suspect that Princess Fuyao's birthday this time is used to select a prince consort," Geng Hong pondered.

Zhao Erhe warned quietly, "Brother Geng, be careful with your words. This kind of thing is not something we can discuss."

Chen Xuan thought to himself, you are overthinking it. How could the little princess choose a prince consort on her birthday? It’s impossible, absolutely impossible.

He felt inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart. As to why, Chen Xuan hissed inwardly. No way, could it be that he was really moved?

Feeling that the wine in his hand was a little dull, he said subtly, "Brother Zhao, Uncle Geng, the young master is studying hard behind closed doors. It's a rare opportunity for you to come to the capital. To be frank, this is probably the only time in your life. You should go out more often when you have nothing to do. By the way, find out who will be attending Princess Fuyao's birthday party."

"Ah? Why does Xuan Ge'er care about this?" Zhao Erhe was stunned.

Chen Xuan looked puzzled and asked, "Do you care?"

"No?" Geng Hong also asked.

Waving his hands, Chen Xuan said, "I'm curious. That two-headed man piqued my curiosity. Besides, Princess Fuyao's birthday is such a big deal, who wouldn't be curious, right?"

"Yes, we will keep an eye on it for you later and tell you when we have time," Zhao Erhe said casually without thinking much about it.

Geng Hong picked up the wine bowl and said, "Come and drink."

What do you mean by "keep an eye on it for me"? I don't take it seriously, really...

Muttering to himself, Chen Xuan talked with them for a while and then went back to the backyard. They were guarding duties, so they only drank lightly and would not get drunk.

Gao Jingming was still studying hard. When Chen Xuan returned, he simply greeted him casually and prepared to continue. Then, he suddenly raised his head, sniffed lightly, and glared, "Xuan, where have you been today? Why do you smell like a girl?"

Xiao Gao, you are a dog. I just had some contact with the little princess today, and you can smell it?
Well, strictly speaking, Xiao Gao's cultivation level is not bad, and he practices the Qingyuan Liuyun technique, so he is very sensitive to details. So Chen Xuan casually said, "He went to meet a friend today, and he got it accidentally, right?"

"No wonder you left so hastily this morning. That princess friend...Princess Fuyao?" Gao Jingming said in disbelief. What he found incredulous wasn't the fact that Princess Fuyao and Chen Xuan were friends, but the fact that Chen Xuan had actually been tainted by her. What did that mean? At least they had direct contact. Could Ah Xuan and Princess Fuyao have gotten so close?
Who is Princess Fuyao? To be frank, her level of favor is even greater than that of her brother-in-law, Prince Qing!
Of course, being favored is one thing, but it has nothing to do with inheriting the throne, so it cannot be generalized.

Raising his eyebrows, Chen Xuan asked in surprise, "Master, you guessed this?"

"Do you still need to guess? Your Majesty, only Princess Fuyao is still unmarried. How can the other married princesses be your friends?" Gao Jingming turned his attention back to the book.

Chen Xuan was speechless. Xiao Gao was indeed the top scholar. He had been smart since he was young.

No, Chen Xuan suddenly began to scrutinize Xiao Gao. Although this guy was concentrating on reading, he had a smile on his face, as if he had something good hidden in his heart that he could hardly hold back, but he was too embarrassed to say it directly, waiting for others to discover it, and then he would say something nonchalantly, commonly known as pretending to be cool.

Realizing this, Chen Xuan didn't want to do what he wanted. This guy couldn't hold it in and would tell him on his own initiative. He immediately waved his hand and said, "Master, I'm going to rest first. Don't read too late. Go wash up and go to bed early."

Watching Chen Xuan turn and leave, Gao Jingming hesitated to speak, feeling uncomfortable all over. Why was this Ah Xuan so unreasonable? He felt so uncomfortable...

The next day, after Chen Xuan finished his morning routine, he did not go back to sleep in, but went to buy some ingredients for making cakes to experiment. He was called out by the little princess yesterday and was delayed for a day, so he had to continue and try to make the finished product as soon as possible.

Since Gao Jingming had said that when he closed the door, a strange smell would come out. To avoid him misunderstanding, Chen Xuan opened the window this time. It didn't matter. Let him watch. If Xiao Gao learned it, could he make a whole set of tricks to please girls on his own? Besides, with his family's wealth, he wouldn't be interested in using this "secret recipe" to open a shop to make money.

Thinking about making money, Chen Xuan suddenly thought that he was not young anymore, but he did not plan to be single all his life. He would have to spend money to marry a wife in the future. What if he married a girl from a wealthy family, like the little princess, like Princess Fuyao, or like Zhou Xianning...

How much would it cost anyway? And if you don't have enough money, you can't afford it. And Grandmaster cultivation can't be directly converted into cash.

Do I have to find another person who can make money, as I originally thought? After all, I'm so lazy, and asking me to focus on making money all day would be like killing myself. In that case, since I already have one, I might as well find someone with strong martial arts skills, preferably someone I can hide behind and shout "My wife, save me!" Then the four of us can just play mahjong together...

"I'm always thinking about all sorts of good things. It's good enough if a girl likes me. If I marry one and then think too much, I'm afraid life will be unbearable. Oh, it gives me a headache. I don't want to think about it anymore. I don't know if the little princess will come to play with me today. I'm afraid not. I guess Lao Deng cares about her more than the imperial seal now."

Chen Xuan was just entertaining himself with all sorts of random thoughts in his mind.

After working for a long time, he made a bunch of useless cakes because he just couldn't grasp the proportions and processes. This made Chen Xuan sigh to the sky, thinking that his talent was indeed misplaced. Except for martial arts, the others were not so bad that even a dog would shake his head, but they were still pretty bad.

When I looked up, I saw Gao Jingming wandering back and forth in the yard with a book in his hand. He had been wandering there all morning.

This guy really can't hold it in any longer, right?
Forget it, Xiao Gao rarely... uh, encounters good things often. Since he wants to show off, just cooperate with him.

So Chen Xuan, covered in flour, leaned on the windowsill, propped up his chin with his hand, looked at Gao Jingming and asked, "Master, have you changed into new clothes? It's a good fit, and the workmanship is exquisite. You can see that a lot of thought went into it. You look even more handsome in it. Where did you buy it? I'll go buy a set later too."

It wasn't easy. Ah Xuan finally asked. Xiao Gao didn't know how happy he was at this moment. Then he pretended not to care, looked down at his clothes, looked up and smiled: "I didn't buy it. Your sister-in-law who is not married yet asked someone to send it to me yesterday. I don't know how she found out where I live. Maybe my sister told her. She made it by herself. How about it, Ah Xuan, do you think it's okay? You can't buy it anywhere else."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's expression froze and he wanted to slap himself. What sin did I commit to deserve this injustice?
I really deserve to die. I shouldn’t have asked this unnecessary question. See, Xiao Gao was playing tricks on me.

Killing a dog? Xiao Gao, don't you feel guilty? We've been together for so many years, how could you do such a heartless thing?
Why haven't I encountered such a good thing? Why haven't I encountered such a considerate girl who treats me like this? If there is such a good girl, I would be happy to break my ribs and make soup for her.

Chen Xuan, who was about to cry but had no tears, was also happy for Xiao Gao, but he said sourly: "The future young lady is so good to you."

"It's okay, it's just a piece of clothing," Gao Jingming said with a faint smile.

You're still pretending!
Chen Xuan gave him a resentful look and suddenly didn't want to talk to him anymore. He wanted to break up with him, right now!
Gao Jingming probably felt that he had gone too far. Just as he was about to say something, his ears moved. He pointed at Chen Xuan's room and said, "Xuan, the sword in your room is buzzing. What's going on?"

He thought he had gone too far, causing Chen Xuan to be in a bad mood, and then causing the sword to buzz.

Of course, Chen Xuan had noticed what Xiao Gao could discover. He raised his hand and grabbed the white sword that Mrs. Gao had given him before leaving.

The sword hummed and trembled, but Chen Xuan ignored it. He looked up at the distance and said with a frown, "Someone is performing 'Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin'. Hey, I'm feeling a bit down right now, so I'm going to join in the fun and see if I can extort more money."

"Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin? Why have I never heard of such a martial art? It sounds quite powerful." Gao Jingming was stunned.

Swoosh, at this moment, in Gao Jingming's room, the sword he rarely used was unsheathed, broke through the window and flew away. Then the sword in Chen Xuan's hand was also unsheathed and flew away.

Chen Xuan suddenly laughed, but he didn't suppress it. He let it fly away, climbed out the window and said, "Master, I'm going to see what's going on. Someone actually dared to borrow my sword. Can he afford it? It's very expensive."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared in the courtyard.

"A Xuan, you... Hey, who is so bold? In the important capital, right under the feet of the emperor, how dare you make such a big commotion?" Gao Jingming wanted to stop Chen Xuan from joining in the fun, but it was too late. He could only let him go. He knew that Chen Xuan always knew his limits and would not rashly put himself in danger.

At this moment, he looked up and saw swords flying through the air in a certain direction from all directions, and exclamations and uproars were heard from a large area around him.

Although Gao Jingming was devoted to his studies, he was no novice in the martial arts. To pull off such a display, he must have been at least a congenital master, and his attainments in sword intent were extremely high. Otherwise, how could he have achieved the effect of thousands of swords flying simultaneously under the influence of sword intent... (End of this chapter)
