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

"good!"

Li Changqing never took these half-hearted promises to heart.

He had no interest in investigating what the other party was planning.

They'll be exposed sooner or later anyway.

After exchanging a few words, the two returned to their respective rooms.

After returning to her room, Bai Wushuang's expression immediately darkened.

The entire Wan Hua Lou was now surrounded by the Imperial Guards. Messages from the outside couldn't get in, and messages from the inside couldn't get out.

In two days, the identities of the real and fake imperial grandsons will be revealed.

Before meeting Li Changqing, Bai Wushuang was absolutely certain.

If there really is a grandson of the emperor among them? Then it must be him.

Whether in terms of strength or appearance, the other three could not compare to him.

Bai Wushuang had inquired about it; his appearance was at least six or seven parts similar to that of the King and Queen of Qin.

They belong to the type whose kinship can be identified simply by their presence.

But when she saw Li Changqing, Bai Wushuang lost her confidence.

"I wonder if my master was lying to me?"

Bai Wushuang kept tapping the table. After a few breaths, a butterfly flew into the room from outside the window.

The butterfly's wings landed directly in front of Bai Wushuang.

As Bai Wushuang tapped, the butterfly's wings flapped rhythmically.

After about fifteen minutes, he was certain that the butterfly's wings could flap according to his will.

Bai Wushuang then sent the butterfly away.

"Don't blame me for being ruthless! The legitimate son of the Prince of Qin can only be me!"

About half an hour later, the butterflies that had left returned.

Bai Wushuang subconsciously looked out the window.

In addition to the visible imperial guards, the Prince of Qin's residence also arranged for hidden guards.

The entire Wan Hua Lou was under their surveillance, with no blind spots.

Only after confirming that the guards hidden in the shadows had not noticed anything amiss did Bai Wushuang return to the table.

The butterfly's wings flapped a dozen times in succession.

This was a secret code that Bai Wushuang and her master had agreed upon beforehand.

"Understood, I'll handle it!"

A smile appeared on Bai Wushuang's face.

Just as he suspected, his master had indeed deceived him.

After all, he didn't lose his memory; the thirteenth prince was already five years old when he went missing.

Even if people's memories of themselves before the age of five are very limited, they can't possibly be completely blank.

Bai Wushuang clearly remembered that he had no parents since he was a child.

But the thirteenth imperial grandson was born in the Prince of Qin's residence.

He is the eldest son of the Prince of Qin, who is showered with love and affection, and will become the future heir apparent.

How could he not have parents?

Fortunately, his master will handle this matter.

"Please don't let me down!"

Carefully planned and nurtured for ten years.

Bai Wushuang could feel how much effort her master had put into her.

He wasn't some exceptionally talented genius, nor did he have any powerful support or backing.

Reaching the mid-stage of the Innate Realm at the age of fifteen is no easy feat.

Isn't the purpose of cultivating oneself to be such an outstanding individual to become this crucial pawn?

Bai Wushuang was naturally unwilling to accept this.

But now is not the time for him to turn against his master. He should wait until he becomes a chess player before considering this issue.

At this stage, they are the closest allies.

On the other hand, Li Changqing knew nothing about any of this.

He didn't pay special attention to Bai Wushuang, but waited for her to make a move.

In Kyoto, in a magnificent mansion.

The bright lights illuminated a face that bore a striking resemblance to Li Changqing.

However, his face was no longer young, with fine lines around his eyes, and his aura was more imposing.

"Your Highness."

A man in black was kneeling in front of the man.

The aura emanating from the man in black was unfathomable.

However, when facing the man, this unfathomable man in black became extremely submissive.

"Have those kids sent any messages out?"

"Your Highness, the guards did not detect anything unusual."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanhao nodded.

He is none other than Li Yuanhao, the sixth prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Prince of Qin.

The King of Qin closed his eyes, as if deep in thought.

After a long while, he opened his eyes again, a hint of murderous intent flashing in them.

"Where is Bai Wushuang?"

"He was very well-behaved in the building. He only exchanged a few words with Li Changqing before going back to his room."

The guards kept a close watch, never leaving for a moment.

They indeed found nothing unusual.

"How could this be such a coincidence? It's like it was all planned out..."

The King of Qin shook his head and said.

He suddenly remembered something, turned to the guard, and continued, "What about the Sword Inquiry Sect?"

"Bai Wushuang was adopted at the age of five, without any prior indication, as if she appeared out of thin air. After that, she stayed in the Wenjian Sect and was carefully nurtured by the elders. She has good talent and is hardworking, so her cultivation level is among the best of her peers."

The guards recounted the results of their investigation in detail.

In terms of status, Bai Wushuang is impeccable.

Where is Li Changqing?

"Our people have already investigated. His background is much clearer, and many people know about it."

"Ten years ago, he was adopted by Li Changsheng of the Canal Gang. He was rescued from the river. As for why he fell into the river, the Canal Gang investigated and searched. But they found nothing!"

"For the past ten years, he has been a very active member of the Canal Gang. People say that his skills are at the late stage of the Acquired Realm, and he has also passed the imperial examination to become a Xiucai (a scholar who passed the lowest level of the imperial examinations). Everyone in the Canal Gang says that he is both a scholar and a warrior."

"Half a month ago, a major event occurred in the Canal Gang. Gang leader Nan Zhentian obtained an unknown treasure, which attracted a pursuer. The attackers were the Eight Vajras, as well as several other late-stage Innate Realm experts."

"At that time, Li Changqing revealed his Grandmaster level cultivation and subdued these great masters one after another."

Even the bodyguard himself felt that his words sounded strange when he said them.

How could a kid who had been in the canal gang for ten years suddenly unleash such powerful cultivation?

Even if it's a period of dormancy, it's a case of playing dumb to outmaneuver the enemy.

With so many people in the canal gang, surely they couldn't possibly be unable to see through a five-year-old child?

This doesn't sound normal at all.

But King Li Yuanhao of Qin listened and nodded.

"This is my true son!"

"I originally thought that since that child had suffered so much, I would just grant him a title and let him enjoy a life of wealth and luxury. But now it seems..."

Li Yuanhao did not continue speaking.

The guards kneeling before him dared not think any further.

"Continue to monitor them, especially Bai Wushuang. I refuse to believe that his true colors won't be revealed."

"yes!"

After receiving the order, the guard did not leave immediately, but instead asked a question.

"What about the young prince?"

"You don't need to worry about him. Let him try on his own first. I will send other people to protect him..."

"Yes."

Seeing the guards retreat, the King of Qin turned to the figure in the shadows and spoke.

"Thank you for your trouble, Master!"

The room was dark.

A figure that looked like an old farmer came out.

"Your Highness is too kind! We, the Ten Thousand Swords Manor, can never repay the kindness Your Highness has shown us. Please feel free to give us any orders."
