I became a prince in a martial arts world.

Chapter 79 Wang Yu, Alone in His Empty Chamber

There might be hope for Yan Xiangxue, and Alde was overjoyed. She chattered excitedly with her master, but her emotions had fluctuated wildly. She was exhausted and had already yawned several times.

"Mr. Sun and young friend Zhao were invited up the mountain by disciples of the Seven Sects, but they have unexpectedly become a great help to us. We are truly fortunate," Ye Tianlin said with a smile. "You will be staying on the mountain for the time being. Mr. Sun, please feel free to tell us what you need for alchemy."

Ye Tianlin then instructed Yang Weiming, "Arrange for Friend Zhao and Miss Yan to stay next door, so that Miss Yan can teach her skills."

"Although Tianshan is not as scenic as the famous mountains in the Central Plains, it has the advantage of being desolate and vast, and has its own charm. If you have time, you can take a stroll around. Weiming can also arrange a guide," Ye Tianlin said.

Sun Wenzhu asked, "If I find a Tian Shan snow lotus, can I take it with me?"

Ye Tianlin nodded, "If you can find it, it's yours."

Wang Yu rubbed his hands together. "What about me?"

Ye Tianlin chuckled, "That's yours too. I'll also give you a snow lotus to help you with your training."

Wang Yu's eyes lit up. "Thank you, senior!"

Wang Yu returned to the courtyard with the two women and saw that Sun Wenzhu from next door had come back with some things and immediately followed Yang Weiming away, probably preparing to make the most of the time to refine pills and then go find fresh Tianshan snow lotus.

Not long after, Yang Weiming moved in next door to Wang Yu and his two companions with Yan Xiangxue and Alde.

Seeing Wang Yu leisurely looking around at the scenery, and then seeing Li Yunxiu quietly drinking tea, and Qianqian sitting on the table idly moving her toes, Yan Xiangxue had a strange expression.

Compared to those wandering martial artists or powerful martial arts factions, Yan Xiangxue was the top expert in Baiqiang, so she naturally paid more attention to her neighbor.

She had already guessed that Zhao Zheng was injured. After all, Zhao Zheng had stopped traveling the martial arts world after the battle at Xingxiu Sea and had sent his son to the capital as a hostage. Anyone with a discerning eye could guess that something must have happened to Zhao Zheng.

However, he was one of the youngest innate grandmasters in the martial arts world. Even knowing that something had happened to him, no one dared to easily go to the Zhenxi Prince's Mansion to test him. Moreover, people who had no grudges against him would not go looking for trouble.

But his sudden death was truly unexpected by Yan Xiangxue. After all, nothing had happened for ten years, and many people even thought that he had fully recovered from his injuries. They believed that he had simply changed his temperament and stopped venturing into the martial world during those ten years.

Unexpectedly, his injuries never healed, and after enduring the pain for ten years, he actually died!

She also knew about Wang Yu's situation and had no confidence in the future of the Zhenxi Prince's Mansion. After all, the female scholar who was married to him by the emperor was clearly there to divide power and control the mansion. Moreover, Wang Yu's reputation in the capital made it impossible for anyone to have confidence in him.

Unexpectedly, after Wang Yu succeeded to the throne, there was no fierce power struggle in the Zhenxi Prince's Mansion. Instead, the government was efficient and the people were harmonious. The people lived in peace and prosperity, and the soldiers were rewarded one after another. Even the Bai Qiang, who were on good terms with him, got a share of the benefits.

Yan Xiangxue originally thought that Li Yunxiu had Wang Yu under control, but after seeing him today, she realized that Wang Yu also had Qianqian by his side, which made things much more complicated. After all, everyone knows why the Demonic Sect is the Demonic Sect.

Therefore, the struggle between the two sides of the Zhenxi Prince's Mansion turned into a three-way battle. Yan Xiangxue did not believe that Li Yun could suppress Qianqian on his own.

Of course, what surprised her the most was not Qianqian, but Wang Yu.

Although Wang Yu was indeed eccentric and wicked when facing Yuan Nahe, not like a good person, Yan Xiangxue could tell that it was an act. Moreover, when facing her, he was respectful and courteous.

Most importantly, he is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but he can also cultivate different attributes, combine ice and fire, and create his own techniques!

With such intelligence, Yan Xiangxue didn't believe he was the纨绔子弟 (spoiled brat) who frequented brothels, indulged in debauchery, and lived a life of debauchery as rumored in the capital.

Aldette's beautiful eyes also turned to Wang Yu, filled with curiosity. "I heard you invented perfume, is that true?"

Previously, she was either on the road or with her seniors around. Although Alde was naive, she knew the occasion. Now, in private, she finally asked her question.

Wang Yu laughed and said, "It's true. If you want, I'll give you a few bottles."

"No, no!" Aldette waved her hands repeatedly, "The perfume is too expensive, I can't afford it."

Li Yunxiu laughed, "You're the daughter of the White Qiang King, can't you even afford a few bottles of perfume?"

Alde shook her head. "In the past, things were expensive in the Central Plains, so Father used all his spare money to buy charcoal, salt, and tea. This year we have a little more money, but we still have to be frugal."

Li Yunxiu's expression softened. "As long as the Bai Qiang do not become enemies with the Central Plains, things will only get better and better in the future."

"Why should we be enemies with the Central Plains?" Alde asked, puzzled. "The people of the Central Plains farm to earn money, but they have to face natural disasters and man-made calamities. The people of the Baiqiang herd to earn money, but they also fear the Bai disasters and wars. They are all just as hardworking, and there is no enmity between them. They should not be enemies in the first place."

Li Yunxiu nodded. "If everyone thought like you, that would be great."

Alde said, "However, merchants from the Central Plains used to sell salt and tea at too high prices. Only this year have they been able to buy them at a lower price."

Aldette looked at Wang Yu, her bright eyes smiling, "I heard it was all your arrangement, thank you!"

Wang Yu didn't mince words, "It's nothing!"

Li Yunxiu rolled her eyes at him, not bothering to claim credit, and simply asked Yan Xiangxue, "Senior Yan, are you going to teach my husband martial arts now?"

Yan Xiangxue smiled and said, "There's no rush. Our two families are neighbors, usually separated by a formidable pass. It's a rare occasion to meet today, so let's chat casually."

Li Yun went to the cabinet to get a teacup, while Qianqian led Yan Xiangxue and Alde to sit down.

The first thing Yan Xiangxue mentioned was about Wang Yu's ice and fire cultivation technique. "As the saying goes, water and fire are incompatible. It's not just a saying. It is really very dangerous to cultivate water and fire together."

Throughout history, many people in the martial arts world have created their own techniques that combine water and fire, but most of them have not been passed down. To this day, only one sect, Kanli Sect, has a name and a lineage, and it is still a legacy of the Demonic Sect.

"Your Highness is indeed intelligent and wise, no less so than your father, but I must still say that Your Highness must be extremely careful when practicing the 'Ice and Snow Divine Skill.' If you sense anything amiss, you must stop immediately. Even if it takes some time, safety comes first."

Wang Yu remained completely calm. "Don't worry, senior. I've always valued my life very much."

"That's good." Yan Xiangxue nodded, and then started talking about the Black and White Qiang, and also spoke frankly about how she had been injured by Shi Mo.

"He shamelessly attacked us!" Alde said angrily.

Yan Xiangxue waved her hand, "Although he attacked by surprise, his martial arts skills have already surpassed mine."

Yan Xiangxue was indeed old and frail, but her internal strength had become deeper and deeper with each practice. Although Shi Mo's martial arts were stronger than hers, he could not possibly have seriously injured her like this. However, a sneak attack was a completely different matter.

In situations where opponents are of equal or even slightly stronger rank, a single sneak attack is enough to determine the outcome; otherwise, the Demonic Cult wouldn't have had a Ghost Shadow Sect.

Yan Xiangxue said, "It is said that Shi Mo went to the Snow Region again three years ago and exchanged his insights with a Tantric master for the secrets of the White Bone Temple. He cultivated in seclusion for three years and made further progress. Your Highness killed several of his disciples, so you must be careful in the future."

Wang Yu said nonchalantly, "It's alright. Once you've recovered, we'll join forces to deal with him."

Unexpectedly, although Wang Yu possessed high martial arts skills, he lacked the arrogance to solve everything in a one-on-one fight. Yan Xiangxue couldn't help but chuckle, "Good!"

Aldair nodded repeatedly, "Exactly! He doesn't follow the rules of the game, so we don't need to either. Let's all swarm him and deal with him!"

It was already afternoon when they went up the mountain, and before they had talked for long, the sun was already setting.

Yan Xiangxue and her apprentice took their leave.

"I never imagined that Granny Snow Mountain and the Tianshan Sect had such a close relationship," Li Yunxiu exclaimed. "Senior Ye even offered her two Tianshan Snow Lotuses and was willing to pass on the Tianshan Sect's internal energy techniques."

Qianqian was unaware of this matter and was filled with gossip. "I wonder what their relationship is? Could it be that Granny Snow Mountain is the lover of one of Ye Tianlin's disciples?"

Wang Yu took a step back, increasing the distance between himself and Qianqian.

-

Qianqian asked, "What are you doing?"

Wang Yu replied, "Stay away from you, lest Senior Ye hears this and attacks you, splattering me with blood."

Qianqian was speechless. "Senior Ye lives quite far from here."

Wang Yu shook his head, "This is the territory of the Tianshan Sect."

Qianqian pouted, but said nothing.

Li Yunxiu looked at Wang Yu, "Actually, Senior Yan is right. Although I don't know how you cultivated 'Iceberg Flowing Spring'..."

"Yes, but you must be careful if you continue practicing the Ice and Snow Divine Skill."

Wang Yu smiled and said, "I wasn't sure at first, but since Senior Ye gave me a Tian Shan Snow Lotus, then there's no problem."

.

Li Yun and Qianqian exchanged a glance, each lost in thought.

On the other side, Alde also helped Yan Xiangxue back to the next room. The Tianshan Sect had limited rooms, so the Bai Qiang warriors they brought were left in the town at the foot of the mountain, and Alde personally took care of Yan Xiangxue when they went up the mountain.

Although Alde is a princess of Baiqiang, life in Baiqiang is difficult, so she doesn't have any princess syndrome. Although she is a bit simple-minded, she is actually very capable and takes good care of Yan Xiangxue all by herself.

"That Zhao Yu is a really nice guy," Alde said. "His two queens are so beautiful, just like the princes and princesses in fairy tales from the Western Regions. They must be very happy."

Yan Xiangxue smiled slightly and stroked Alde's hair. "I don't know if the princes and princesses in fairy tales are happy, but Zhao Yu may not be very happy."

"Huh? Why?" Alde asked, puzzled.

Yan Xiangxue thought for a moment and realized that it was still uncertain whether she could live to see a year later. Alde should also know about the dangers of the martial world. So she told her about the situation where Wang Yu represented the Zhenxi Prince's Mansion, Li Yunxiu represented the imperial court, and Qianqian represented the Demonic Sect.

Alder couldn't help but gasp softly, "So complicated!"

Then she felt a little sorry for Wang Yu, "He's so pitiful, he can't even trust the person next to him in bed."

Yan Xiangxue smiled gently. The person beside you? Not to mention Qianqian, even Li Yunxiu is a virgin.

However, Yan Xiangxue thought that although Wang Yu wouldn't dare to touch the two women, he would definitely be able to handle the maids in the mansion. She wouldn't hold back. After thinking for a while, she still didn't say anything.

That night, Wang Yu stayed alone in his empty room, but his energy and spirit remained undiminished. The next morning, he was full of energy and vitality, as if his spirits were overflowing!

"Senior Yan, I'm ready!"
