You promised yourself to be a caged bird, but you became the supreme young master?

Chapter 97 The Assassination Attempt on the Eldest Princess!

"Cultivation prodigies are so rare that they can be counted on one hand, even within a single province."

Staring blankly at Lu Heng, Lu Qingyan repeatedly confirmed that the boy in front of her was clear-headed and his speech was not unclear.

She knew perfectly well that the other party would never joke about something so important.

The boy was not such a frivolous person.

"You shouldn't have told me this—"

After a long while, Lu Qingyan, no longer concerned about why the young man was a cultivation prodigy, turned to ask another question and said quietly.

"I didn't want to say it either, but you just won't give me the chance," Lu Heng thought helplessly.

He wanted to be a little selfish, but the girl didn't give him the chance at all.

No matter how self-centered you are, if you become that selfish, what's the difference between you and a bloodless, tearless stone?

"But I still said it." What else could Lu Heng say? He naturally couldn't answer like that; he could only reply ——————————

Here.

"What exactly is this matter you're talking about? It can't be something personal, can it?"

Lu Qingyan suddenly spoke again.

She had just realized that the boy in front of her was never the kind of person to be coy; he would speak up without hesitation when needed.

They seem confident that they can give back no matter what, but the returns are mediocre.

Furthermore, even when the boy needed help, his requests were never excessive, and he never showed any greed.

and so--

The matter that Lu Heng raised this time may not only be related to him personally, but also to himself.

"What could have made him take such a serious attitude?"

It concerns me—

But why reveal that he is a cultivation prodigy?

"It's absolutely impossible for me to do this just to show off." Lu Qingyan was filled with thoughts, but she couldn't find the right answer.

No matter how wild her imagination is—

I never imagined that visualization techniques existed.

Humans cannot conceive of things beyond their own perception.

This is especially prominent in a world where practitioners exist.

"I have obtained a visualization method—" Lu Heng said with a somewhat strange expression.

"What is visualization?" the girl asked curiously.

Lu Heng revealed everything about the visualization method without any omissions or concealment.

But having someone contemplate oneself, even after two lifetimes, is still a bit too shameful.

After saying that, Lu Heng felt a little tired.

Lu Qingyan fell silent once again, and this time she remained silent for even longer than when she learned that Lu Heng was actually a cultivation prodigy.

"What a hassle—" Lu Heng thought helplessly.

He hated this feeling of uncertainty, but wasn't the purpose of his cultivation to eliminate uncertainty so that even if something unexpected happened, he could still have everything under his control?

Suddenly, as if she had figured something out, the girl smiled brightly, her beauty breathtaking, completely devoid of her previous aloofness.

She asked, "You, the thing you hesitated about before was this?"

What? You regret it now?

After all, based on what you've said, once I start using you as the object of my contemplation, I can never break free from that connection.

Given your personality, you probably wouldn't be willing at all—”

"Is it too late for me to regret this?"

Lu Heng nodded helplessly at first, and then answered.

"Too late—" Lu Qingyan rolled her eyes and replied irritably.

This guy really wants to regret it!

What a bastard.

"Give it to me," the girl said, extending her hand without any politeness.

This guy owes me something, why shouldn't I take it?

"What?" Lu Heng had originally thought the girl needed to think about it some more, or what?

The side effect of visualization that makes people feel good just doesn't seem right at all—

Even if the benefits are extremely significant, and the two have a good relationship, they should be considered true friends, and there will be no exceptions.

Of course, Lu Heng did not refuse and directly handed the girl a book containing the method of visualization.

"Qingyan, don't rush to break through before I break through to the Qi Refining Realm."

"This visualization method is most effective and easiest to practice when the two sides are separated by a secret realm," Lu Heng reminded her, and Lu Qingyan naturally did not refuse.

Everything proceeded as usual. When the martial arts competition in the outer courtyard was almost over, Lu Qingyan suddenly seemed to remember something and spoke up to remind her.

"Tomorrow, during the selection and assessment for the secret realm slots—"

Your opponent should be a member of the branch family named Lu Mingze from the Foreign Languages ​​Department.

Despite being a cultivation genius, he had no chance or possibility of achieving perfection, and was forced to stay in the outer courtyard for three years.

They must have known that the secret realm might open in the next few years.

This guy is anything but simple.

The foreign language institutes are evaluated in batches each year, and Lu Heng's institute was among the first to be evaluated that year.

Lu Mingze only obtained the secret realm selection spot after the Grand Steward's grandson threatened Lu Heng.

But clearly, no one would easily give up when faced with a life-changing opportunity like the secret realm.

Putting aside other matters, the reason why the First and Second Deacons of the branch family were still able to rise against the odds and become cultivators at the peak of the Qi Refining Secret Realm is that they were able to achieve great success in the branch family environment.

The reason is that both of them entered the secret realm when they were young.

Even though they are still considered part of the main family, their status is higher than that of most members of the main family.

As long as there is an idea, the next generation can easily rise from a branch family to the main family.

"What level is his combat style?" Lu Heng asked.

"Regarding combat techniques, although Lu Mingze spent several years in the Body Refining Secret Realm, he spent most of that time honing his Basic Body Refining Technique in order to have a better foundation."

At most, it should only be at the minor completion level.

"After all, he's not exactly a genius in combat techniques." Lu Qingyan pondered for a moment before replying.

"Then everything will be fine, won't it?"

"Under the guidance of Miss Qingyan's grandfather, my combat skills have reached the Great Perfection." Lu Heng waved his hand dismissively.

At the same level, even if he only achieved minor success in the Basic Body Refining Technique, his innate divine power from his bloodline reversion and his advanced combat techniques made him a formidable opponent.

No matter what, Lu Heng felt that he couldn't possibly lose.

"That's right." Lu Qingyan stared at the boy for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

Another day was about to pass uneventfully, but Lu Heng, who was used to flipping through the daily newspaper, suddenly felt as if a thunderbolt had struck out of nowhere.

The reason is simple—

On this day, the Daqi Daily News acted out of character, as if it had received some kind of instruction, and published a major event that could be considered earth-shattering in the entire Daqi Dynasty.

That is--

Lu Heng had seen in the Great Qi Daily over the past year that the eldest princess, whom he believed was very likely to ascend the throne, had been assassinated!

A powerful cultivator at the Refining Realm, above the Refining Mystic Realm, personally took action.

Even the eldest princess, who was at the level of a True Monarch of the Divine Refinement Realm, was of unknown fate.

"Has the struggle for the throne become this intense? This doesn't feel right!" Lu Heng muttered to himself.
