Chapter 249 Invitation

"Also... since our Goddess Palace will also participate in the martial arts competition this time—" Liu Lingying glanced at the disciples of the Goddess Palace on the sidelines, like a general inspecting his soldiers: "Tang Lingyun, Pei Yunyan, Lu Lingyun You have to go to the competition, Ran Ling has to go to the competition, and Wan Yao has to go to the competition too."

Zhou Wanyao was stunned when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "Master, I am Lanmeng's mother, I am not suitable for the competition, so the senior sister didn't include me in it before—"

"The list you made before is wrong!" Liu Lingying retorted unceremoniously: "The other registered disciple is too weak to win at all, so you must be on Wanyao! Now the emperor is concerned about the late emperor and has not restored you. Regardless of your identity, you are just an ordinary person, so there is nothing to worry about! On the contrary, if you perform well in the martial arts competition, it may be beneficial."

"Disciple understands." Zhou Wanyao said obediently.

"You all have to be like Shijing, try your best to practice swordsmanship for me in the past ten days, I will go back to the palace to get some more swords, but don't let me down!" Liu Lingying said in a deep voice.

"Yes!!" The Goddess Palace disciples headed by Gu Shijing responded in unison.

"Master Xue." Liu Lingying turned her gaze to Xue Chang again and asked, "Do you know anything about swordsmanship?"

"I have done some research." Xue Chang was not polite, and said directly: "Qiu Di, show the swordsmanship you have learned to seniors."

Hu Qiudi responded excitedly, drew out the Qiushui sword, walked straight to the field, and began to practice the sword.

I saw her lightly prancing, turning and moving, like a butterfly wearing flowers, pointing, poking, or stabbing the Qiushui sword in her hand freely, just like the stars in the night sprinkled bits and pieces of cold light.After practicing a set of Yuenu swordsmanship, her body method changed accordingly, she was light and elegant, like a goddess descending to the earth, and her swordsmanship was full of green light, like falling cherry blossoms, scattered in all directions, making it even more magical when it was subtle Three figures, difficult to tell the truth from reality, complicated and fantasy...

Liu Lingying looked at it seriously, and after Hu Qiudi put away his sword, she asked, "Are these two sets of swordsmanship?"

"Yes." Xue Chang introduced: "The first set of swordsmanship is called Yuenu Sword, and the second set is Luoying Excalibur."

"Although the first set of swordsmanship is simple, it will become terrifying if it is simple to the extreme; the second set of swordsmanship is somewhat similar to the Kunlun School's light-splitting swordsmanship, but it is even more confusing and hard to guard against!" Liu Lingying slightly To make a comment, he asked: "Is this sword technique taught by you?"

"Yes."

"How long has your disciple practiced sword?"

"The younger generation only started accepting apprentices at the end of the previous year, and started teaching swordsmanship at the beginning of last year." Xue Chang said truthfully.

As soon as these words came out, not only Liu Lingying, but also the other goddesses and palace people around were surprised, because just now, the female disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect were proficient in swordsmanship, and they were able to reach this level after only practicing swordsmanship for more than a year ? !
"Did she ever practice swordsmanship before joining your sect?" Liu Lingying asked.

"My disciple has never learned martial arts before."

The Goddess Palace was even more surprised. Liu Lingying stared at Xue Chang suspiciously, but Xue Chang looked calm. With her sharp eyes honed in the court for decades, she couldn't see the slightest sign that the other party was lying.

"Yuting." Xue Chang shouted, "Go out and practice your sword skills again."

"Yes."

When Xue Yuting was practicing sword in the arena, Xue Chang introduced to Liu Lingying: "She is my own younger sister. She learned martial arts a little later than my apprentice just now, but she also learned sword at the same time."

Liu Lingying didn't speak. It was rare for her to pay attention to the performance of a junior so seriously. She could see that this girl was weaker than the previous one in terms of strength, but her swordsmanship was also outstanding, and she had fewer doubts in her heart. After a few minutes, there was a moment of silence, and finally made up my mind, said in a deep voice: "Until the end of the martial arts competition, Master Xue and your disciples will live here. During this period, you can compete with my disciples from the Goddess Palace every day." Communication and mutual improvement will help you perform better in the tournament; secondly, it can save you a lot of trouble."

Xue Chang hesitated. He didn't expect Liu Lingying to make such a request. Of course he was happy to be with Luo Lanmeng, but it was also his wish to come here and meet the heroes of the world. If he stayed in this house every day, he obviously couldn't accomplish.

"Master Xue, I admit that if you and Meng'er are talented and beautiful, it must be a blessing." After Liu Lingying said this, Luo Lanmeng's hanging heart finally fell, and she showed a bright smile , so that Zhou Wanyao had to use her eyes to signal her to be more reserved.

Liu Lingying continued with a serious face: "But whether you and Meng'er can combine is up to the emperor to decide. Of course, with your martial arts, you should be able to win the emperor's favor by performing well in this martial arts competition. But you You should know that what is really scary is not the fists and feet on the field, but the knives and guns from the dark.

Since Meng'er became the eldest princess, there have been many courtesies to the royal family.Because of you, Meng'er strongly rejected them, thus offending many people, including even the most honorable empress dowager.They can't do anything with Meng'er, but they can deal with you. When you stepped into this mansion, you were already targeted by them.

They are powerful, powerful, and rich. Maybe you think you can handle them with high martial arts skills, but what about your apprentices?And once something happens in the capital, not to mention that you may not be able to participate in the martial arts competition, Meng'er may not be able to marry, you may even go to prison..."

Liu Lingying paused for a moment, gave Xue Chang a moment to think, and then said confidently: "And you live here, no matter who you are, you have to give face to the old man, and you dare not trespass without authorization. With such a place, you can A shelter from the wind and rain can also help you go further in the tournament.

At that time, I will also send three carriages, one to take you and Shijing to the palace to participate in the martial arts competition every day, and the other two to take the Xiaoyao faction and the disciples of the Goddess Palace to the martial arts competition venue, and I will be accompanied by my entourage to ensure safety ,how do you feel? "

Although Xue Chang is passionate and impulsive at times, he has never been a stubborn person. On the contrary, he is very easy-going. Otherwise, he would not have accepted Shangguan Yi's help at the beginning and caused troubles later, so he weighed a little and immediately replied: "Junior Follow the arrangements of the seniors."

"Very good." Liu Lingying nodded in satisfaction, then turned her head and said, "Wanyao, I will leave it to you to arrange the residence of Xiaoyao Sect disciples here."

Zhou Wanyao glanced at Gu Shijing, and replied, "Yes."

"In order to avoid criticism from the officials in the court, I can't come here often during this period, so I have to ask Master Xue to take the trouble to teach them martial arts." Liu Lingying said again.

"Senior, don't worry, we will learn from each other and try to improve before the tournament begins." Xue Chang said modestly.

"Okay, that's it." Liu Lingying patted the back of the chair very simply: "It's time for me to go back, Meng'er, come with me."

Luo Lanmeng was still secretly happy that Liu Lingying had approved her and Xue Chang's affairs, but when she heard this, she suddenly became unhappy: "Uncle Master, if I don't leave, I will stay here."

"Presumptuous!" Liu Lingying immediately straightened her face, and scolded: "As the eldest princess, you should know some royal rules! Why did the emperor reluctantly agree with you to come out? It was because he knew that there was no one in this house except my Goddess Palace. Disciple, there is no man, and now that the Xiaoyao faction has moved in, do you think the emperor will let you stay here! Even if I don't do this, he will soon send someone to pick you into the palace. The royal family needs more face, you don't want to Because of your stubbornness, the emperor finally became resentful towards the head of Xue because of this, then your marriage will be—”

When Luo Lanmeng heard this, she panicked and subconsciously looked at Xue Chang.

"Lanmeng, go back to the palace with senior." Xue Chang comforted him with a firm expression, "I believe we will be together soon!"

With Xue Chang's promise, Luo Lanmeng calmed down a bit, and said softly: "Master Uncle, I will go back to the palace with you."

..............................................................................

After announcing the ebb tide, Emperor Taixiang returned to the harem, and before entering the Palace of Qinzheng, he saw Cao Zhong, the commander of the Dragon Guards, walking towards him.

Emperor Taixiang waved his hands habitually and said, "You all step back."

"Yes." The eunuch and court lady withdrew as promised.

"Old Cao, do you have any important news to tell me?"

"Your Majesty, Xue Chang from the Free and Unfettered Sect mentioned by the Eldest Princess has reported to the General Patrol Division today."

"Oh?"

"Then the people sent by the eldest princess took it to the mansion of the Goddess Palace—"

Emperor Taixiang's originally interested face became a little more angry: "Is there... what's wrong?"

"This...it never happened, because the Empress Dowager also went there right after."

Emperor Taixiang heaved a sigh of relief: "With Grandma Huang here, there will be no mistakes! She must have brought the eldest princess back."

"Your Majesty is wise! But before that, she asked Mistress Gu of the Goddess Palace to compete with the Head Master Xue of the Xiaoyao Sect."

"Oh, how did it turn out?"

"Xue Chang from the Xiaoyao faction easily defeated Palace Master Gu of the Goddess Palace."

"... I remember you, Mr. Cao, said that the martial arts of the Goddess Palace are peculiar, and the martial arts of the palace master Gu and Mrs. Tang Menqiu, and the Jingxin master of the Emei School have their own strengths... From this point of view, this Xiaoyao School Xue Chang Is his martial arts really not weak?!"

"Not only that, after that, the Empress Dowager also competed with him for a few tricks. She must have tried her best, but she didn't take advantage of it." The old eunuch said carefully as if he had seen it with his own eyes: "After this, Her attitude towards Xue Chang changed drastically, and she allowed Xue Chang to lead the disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect to live in the residence of the Goddess Palace..."

"I remember that Xue Chang seems to be only 21 years old."

"To be precise, he is 21 years old. Such a young man can practice such profound martial arts. In the memory of the veteran, even the Lord Protector of the country could not achieve such an achievement at his age."
