Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

The waiter looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old and was very clever.

He first arranged the rooms, then followed Li Changqing and Murong Yao to the private room, where tea was immediately prepared.

Fearing that the cups weren't clean enough, he also rinsed them with hot tea.

This action pleased Li Changqing.

"This child is quite clever."

Upon hearing this, Murong Yao looked at Li Changqing in surprise. Li Changqing wasn't much older than the boy.

But the way he spoke was as if he were looking at a child.

This thirteenth prince seems to be more complex than she imagined.

"What would you two like to order?"

"Bring a few of our signature dishes, and two jugs of liquor."

Murong Yao was clearly a regular here, and she ordered the dishes as soon as she spoke.

After ordering, she turned her gaze to Li Changqing.

"Young master, what would you like to eat? Please order whatever you like."

All of the signature dishes were ordered by Murong Yao herself.

After thinking it over, Li Changqing figured the portion size couldn't be too large, so he nodded and said, "Give me one too, just like hers."

A strange look flashed across the waiter's face.

He's been at Dengyun Tower for quite some time now.

Those who could get into the private rooms on the third floor were all the most distinguished guests.

When ordering food on the third floor, I've never had a dish served twice.

Not to mention, Li Changqing also demanded that all dishes be served twice?

Nevertheless, the waiter readily agreed.

"Please wait a moment, sir!"

After saying that, he turned and left, while Li Changqing picked up his teacup and took a light sniff.

The aroma of tea wafts through the air, with a subtle sweetness.

"Excellent tea!"

Whether in his past life or this one, Li Changqing has never been able to distinguish the types of tea like others.

At his place, there is only good tea and undrinkable tea.

"This tea is called 'Stars,' and it's picked from the northern plateau. It has a sweet aroma and a pleasant aftertaste."

Although Murong Yao was a member of the Golden Guard, she was clearly well-educated.

He is very knowledgeable about tea.

"You must be from a noble family, right? I heard you were from the Marquis of Sanyang's mansion. How did you, a young lady from a marquis's family, end up as a Golden Guard?"

Li Changqing had wanted to ask this for a long time, but unfortunately he hadn't been able to find a suitable opportunity.

The two are now sitting in a private room, undisturbed by anyone, and the environment is quite nice.

Li Changqing thought it was worth a talk.

"Women in the Great Zhou Dynasty can also become officials, whether they are civil or military. Although my family disagrees, as long as I can pass the exam, no one can stop me."

Murong Yao looked proud.

It's clear that this is a very rebellious young lady.

As for her cultivation level?

Li Changqing felt that it should only be considered average.

She was younger than Li Changsheng, but her cultivation level was the same as his, making her a master in the late stage of the Innate Realm.

Logically speaking, this talent should be considered quite good. But if she were to fight Li Changsheng, she probably wouldn't even last three moves.

Even if three Murong Yaos were combined, they might not be able to defeat Li Changsheng.

This is still at this stage.

Once they both break through to the Profound Realm, the gap between them will only widen.

Li Changsheng's cultivation journey was entirely dependent on his talent and hard work, without any resource support.

Even under these circumstances, he was able to forge his own path and create his own martial arts.

His future is bound to be limitless!

In contrast, Murong Yao's rapid improvement was partly due to her talent, but more importantly, it was due to the nourishment she received from medicine and rare and precious herbs.

Li Changqing could sense that her martial arts were not pure enough.

Being able to cultivate to the mid-stage of the Profound Realm in this lifetime is already considered very lucky...

With such cultivation, one would want to achieve something in officialdom or in the martial arts world.

Li Changqing wasn't sure if it was enough.

After all, his understanding of martial arts in this world is far from sufficient.

Fifteen minutes later, the signature dish was served.

There were a total of eight dishes, two meat and two vegetable, which were placed in front of the two people respectively.

Li Changqing picked up a bamboo shoot and took a bite.

It must be said that there's a reason why it's expensive.

The signboard of Dengyunlou is indeed fragrant.

The price was a bit high, though. Each bite he took was about two qian of silver, and five bites would be one liang.

The four dishes together weighed a good ten ounces.

It's important to know that this wasn't some rare delicacy; it was just ordinary home-cooked food.

"I wonder whose property this Dengyun Tower is? It's incredibly profitable!"

Having worked as a clerk in the grain transport gang, Li Changqing knew all too well the income of ordinary people.

These few simple home-style dishes are enough to cover the expenses of an average farming family for a year.

"The owner of Dengyun Tower is very mysterious, and I don't know either."

Just as the two were talking, a huge commotion suddenly broke out outside.

No horseback riding, no galloping, no using light-footed skills...

These rules and restrictions are of little significance to highly skilled martial artists.

Especially a wanted criminal who is on the run.

He didn't care about anything else; he was jumping around like a giant flea.

Jumping from the street to the rooftop, from the rooftop to a tall building, and then leaping off again.

It's clear that he has excellent lightness skills.

Upon seeing the other person, Murong Yao first frowned subconsciously, and then blurted out.

"Young Master Chu Yun!"

The title didn't sound bad, but a hint of doubt flashed in Li Changqing's eyes.

How could someone like that be hunted down by the Six Doors?

The pursuers following behind Young Master Chuyun were all dressed in Six Doors uniforms, and their lightness skills were also quite good.

Not only will they be able to catch up with Young Master Chuyun, but they will also be able to reduce his escape space.

"This Young Master Chu Yun is a notorious womanizer in the martial arts world. His strength is only at the mid-stage of the Innate Realm, but his lightness skill is exceptional. Even most late-stage Innate Realm masters might not be able to catch him."

"The Six Doors really went all out, sending six mid-stage Innate Realm experts this time, and..."

Before Murong Yao could finish speaking, a pretty woman in a green dress caught up with Young Master Chu Yun.

"Chu Yun, where are you running to?"

"Young lady, you're so persistent in pursuing me. Could it be that you're interested in me? You should have said so earlier. How about we do it tonight? I'll make sure you experience what true ecstasy is."

Even while fleeing for his life, Young Master Chuyun's mouth never stopped.

"Fine, stop now, this grandma will let you experience it properly!"

The woman in green was not shy at all and answered calmly.

"This girl has a good personality; she's not shy or pretentious at all."

In ancient times, this kind of sex was extremely rare.

Li Changqing's words carried a hint of admiration.

Murong Yao gave Li Changqing a strange look and whispered to him.

"This is Luo Qingqing, the legitimate daughter of the Deputy Chief Constable of the Six Doors and the legitimate granddaughter of the Minister of Justice."

"Um."

Li Changqing found it a bit strange; Murong Yao's introduction was far too detailed.

"What does this have to do with me?"

"Your Highness is incredibly insightful. This lady also has another identity; she is also your fiancée. His Majesty bestowed this marriage upon her eleven years ago..."
