"Well, Xia Lingyu might be hopeful then."
Chen Xuan muttered, seeming thoughtful.
But Xuan Er’s expression on the side was quite strange. Just a few days ago, they had a fight, and he even took her whip, now he plans to ask her for Divine Soul Liquid.
What’s this kid thinking?
"I’m heading out for a while!"
Just as he reached the doorway, he ran into Ye Yilan walking towards him.
"Where are you off to again?"
"Going to find Xia Lingyu!"
After responding, Chen Xuan left.
"What? Xia Lingyu!"
Ye Yilan imdiately tensed up, hurried to chase after him, but was stopped by Xuan Er.
"It’s fine, don’t worry!"
"Fine? Every ti those two et, they start fighting, how is that fine!"
He couldn’t believe Xuan Er’s words.
"If you don’t believe , follow him then, do you dare?" Xuan Er teased him.
"Get lost!"
Ye Yilan cursed, then silently closed the door.
...
Guhe Palace!
Chen Xuan stood in front of the massive door, looking at the four gilded characters on the plaque.
"Xia Lingyu is here, right!"
anwhile, the guards at the door took notice of him, as he had already been standing there for a while.
"You!" pointing at Chen Xuan, he shouted, "Leave quickly!"
"I’d like to see Xia Lingyu, please inform her!"
Despite the guard’s unpleasant tone, Chen Xuan still smiled, as he had a request.
However, he added, "I am Chen Xuan!"
He thought announcing his na would change the guard’s attitude instantly.
Unexpectedly—
"I don’t care who you are! This is the Prince’s palace, leave now, or don’t bla for being rude!"
Chen Xuan or whatever!
Just him wanting to see the Prince, what a delusion!
"Damn!"
The face slap was too swift, even Chen Xuan felt embarrassed.
Nonetheless....
The guards of Great Xia really lacked insight, compared to those of Great Zhou, they were several levels worse.
Just when he was about to clarify his identity, the creaking sound of a carriage approached from afar.
Chen Xuan turned to look, instantly sensing a familiar aura.
Qi Lin!
"Well, this saves the trouble of talking."
Chen Xuan thought to himself.
A mont later, the carriage stopped at the gate, and Qi Lin slowly stepped down from it.
Seeing him, the guard quickly ran over with a smile, "National Preceptor, you’re here to see the Prince, right?"
"Hmm! Is the Prince in the palace?"
Qi Lin nodded, asking while walking towards the door.
Suddenly stopping in his tracks!
He saw Chen Xuan standing there, smiling at him.
"The Prince ordered, upon your arrival, there’s no need to announce, just go in..." couldn’t finish before sensing sothing was wrong.
"What’s the matter, National Preceptor?"
The guard was puzzled, so he followed Qi Lin’s gaze, and the next mont, he froze.
Isn’t this the man he just ordered to leave!
"They know each other? Oh no!"
Imdiately feeling sothing amiss, anyone acquainted with the National Preceptor surely wasn’t ordinary.
The next mont, he regretted deeply.
"Old Man Qi, what a coincidence!"
Old Man Qi!
Who exactly is he? Daring to call the National Preceptor ’Old Man Qi’.
"Done for!"
"What brings you here?" Qi Lin asked, slightly puzzled.
This was Xia Lingyu’s residence, was he here to see her?
"I have so matters to discuss with Xia Lingyu, but I can’t get in!" Speaking with a gaze towards the guard who accosted him.
Qi Lin looked at him.
The guard panicked, hurriedly explained, "National Preceptor, I didn’t know he knew you! He asked to see the Prince, but there have been too many requests lately, so anyone unknown was turned away!"
"Those are the Prince’s orders!"
"Alright, from now on, if he wants to see, inform him, let the Prince decide!"
Qi Lin guessed as much, but didn’t bla him.
Turning back to Chen Xuan, "Then let’s go in together with !"
"I’ll take advantage of your influence then!"
The two walked into the palace together.
"My god, what a figure he must be!" The guard felt his back drenched in sweat.
"Boss, I think I rember who he is?"
At that mont, a young man approached, whispering.
"Who is he?"
"I don’t know exactly, but one day I saw him repel the Prince with a single strike!"
"Damn! Why didn’t you say earlier!"
"It’s over, really over now!"
...
"Old Man Qi, can you publicize a little?"
Walking along the cobblestone path, Chen Xuan suddenly spoke.
"Publicize you?"
Qi Lin furrowed his brows, seeming more confused.
"Yeah, didn’t you see those people don’t recognize ? Of course, that’s not important, but the other day I was in a bad mood, and your inferior spoke insolently, if I acted, don’t bla !"
Anyway, being a master now, he’s got to have so respect, right?
"You....sure are considerate of !"
Qi Lin sneered.
However, he still rembered this matter in his heart, after all, he knew this kid, his temper was really not great.
Don’t let it really be like he said, if that person died, it would be a true white death.
After a mont, the two stopped outside a palace.
"Greetings to the National Preceptor!"
At the entrance, a maid in green respectfully saluted.
"Is His Highness inside?"
Qi Lin asked with a smile.
"Yes, he is. National Preceptor, please wait a mont, I will inform him!" Saying this, the woman in green slowly walked inside and ca back out shortly afterwards.
"National Preceptor, His Highness invites you in!"
"Hmm!"
Qi Lin nodded slightly, then walked into the main hall, with Chen Xuan following behind.
However, he was stopped by the maid in green.
"Hmm?"
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Young Master Chen Xuan, His Highness asks you to wait here for a while!"
"Wait! Here?"
"Yes! That’s what His Highness instructed!"
The maid in green nodded very seriously.
What the hell, this old hag actually wanted him to wait here! This is ridiculous!
Chen Xuan imdiately beca displeased.
anwhile, Qi Lin just smiled slightly, then accelerated his pace into the hall.
This was exactly the style of His Highness, petty!
If you offended her, no matter how long it was, she would rember it.
"Fine, I’ll wait then!"
Chen Xuan said helplessly, after all, he needed sothing from her.
Xia Lingyu, this woman, was Great Xia’s only princess after all, her temper was truly petty!
Bored, he then decided to pay attention to the maid in green, and asked, "Is your Highness particularly good at rembering things?"
"Ah...? This servant doesn’t understand!"
The maid was a bit perplexed, not knowing what he ant by this question.
But she wasn’t stupid; she knew she couldn’t casually comnt on His Highness, after all, serving Xia Lingyu for this long required a bit of wits.
"People with good mory don’t have much of a heart, and they hold grudges!"
However, his words imdiately frightened the maid into lowering her head and quickly backing a few steps away from him.
How dare he say such things, does he have a death wish!
"Sigh, why are you so far away from , I’m not going to eat you!" Chen Xuan was speechless, people who didn’t know might think he was planning sothing!
But the more he said this, the further the maid in green moved from him, finally backing into a corner of the wall, and finally raised her head, looking pitiful, begging, "Young Master Chen Xuan, please spare this servant...."
She’s just a servant, she doesn’t want to die!
Ugh—
"Alright, alright..."
...
In the main hall, after Qi Lin recounted the military affairs of the past few days in detail, he was ready to leave.
However, he was stopped by Xia Lingyu, "National Preceptor, you’ve been working hard recently, this palace has prepared Winter Spirit Tea, have a cup before you leave!"
"Uh.... alright! Then thank you, Your Highness!"
Qi Lin hesitated slightly but quickly understood, and nodded, sitting back down once more.
After a long while,
a maid brought in two blue and white porcelain cups, slowly entering.
She respectfully put them down and then stood aside.
Qi Lin was not polite, taking a sip, and imdiately a refreshing fragrance spread in his mouth.
"Worthy of Winter Spirit Tea, just one sip makes one refreshed! This old man truly has the fortune to enjoy it."
He couldn’t help but praise it.
"Since the National Preceptor likes it, then take so back with you!" Saying this, she looked towards the maid beside her.
"Yes, Your Highness, this servant will prepare it at once!"
After a slight bow, she hurried off.
However, at this mont, Qi Lin stood up, "Military affairs are pressing, I will take my leave first, as for the tea, maybe next ti!"
That kid has been cooled for quite so ti, it’s probably enough by now.
That kid’s temper isn’t great.
"Since that’s the case, this palace won’t keep you, the tea will be sent over later!"
Xia Lingyu said indifferently.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
With a slight bow, he then left the main hall.
anwhile,
Chen Xuan was already getting impatient from waiting.
This woman was truly petty, intentionally ssing with him.
"Sigh, could you go in and urge her a bit?"
Chen Xuan said to the maid in green.
"Ah...!"
Then she quickly shook her head, "No need, His Highness said that after discussing with the National Preceptor, you can go in, just wait a bit longer!"
How many guts does she have? To dare go in and urge the Princess.
Just then, Qi Lin finally ca out.
"Old Man Qi, what were you discussing that took so long!"
However, facing his complaint, Qi Lin instead warned him, "Go in! Also, if you have a need from His Highness, adjust your attitude! Don’t act all reckless!"
"Got it, got it!"
Chen Xuan waved his hand, the old man really talked too much.
"Go in!"
Qi Lin shook his head, feeling exhausted.
...
Entering the main hall, Chen Xuan imdiately saw Xia Linyou seated above, at the mont flipping through the letters on the table.
She didn’t even lift her head, acting as if he didn’t exist.
"Greetings to Princess!"
Chen Xuan deliberately shouted loudly.
But she seed to not hear it, continuing to ignore him.
"Xia Lingyu, that’s enough already!"
Chen Xuan, already annoyed, decided not to be polite anymore and directly called her by na.
