low-key is king

Chapter 723 What If She Doesn't Agree?
"I'm asking you, are they Taoist companions?"

A gleam of anger flashed in the depths of Xuan Tiangao's eyes, and he asked again, this Shisan'er is really becoming more and more disobedient, can't he answer the questions properly?

"No... not!"

Xuan Shisan can only tell the truth. To be honest, he has never seen what Long Zhijun looks like. It seems that Lu Xun has never said that he has a Taoist companion.

"Since it's not a Taoist companion, it's easy to handle!"

Xuan Tiangao nodded slightly, and then he didn't say his purpose, but waved his hand, and said softly: "It's nothing, you can go back!"

"Father..."

Xuan Shisan was a little hesitant to speak, but he didn't know how to word it. After all, his father didn't express some meaning. If he directly pierced it, he didn't know how to end it.

"Go back!"

Xuan Tian Gaoming couldn't see much anger on his face, but Xuan Shisan didn't dare to say any more when he uttered another soft voice, so he bowed and saluted, then turned and walked out of the hall.

"Thirteen!"

Suddenly another voice came from behind, causing Xuan Shisan to pause slightly, and then he heard the other party continue to say: "Others have forgotten, you are from my Xuan clan!"

Xuan Shisan took a deep breath, and strode out of the hall without looking back, causing Xuan Tiangao, who was talking behind him, to frown, wondering if that Thissan listened to his own words?
"Father, the thirteenth brother is really rude!"

Naturally, Xuan Zhengzhao would not miss this opportunity, and directly hit the rocks at this moment. He could naturally see the anger on his father's face, and he was obviously dissatisfied with Xuan Shisan's attitude.

Today's Xuan Zhengzhao really hates Lu Xun to the bone, and he doesn't even want to see Xuan Shisan. If there is a chance, he will definitely tear the boy in black to pieces.

"Retire too!"

The dissatisfaction in Xuan Tiangao's eyes became more and more intense, and he heard him say: "Recently, I stayed in the mansion behind closed doors and thought about my past mistakes. Without my will, I can't leave the mansion!"

"Yes! Erchen retire!"

Xuan Zhengzhao didn't dare to say any more, but the figure that exited the hall looked a little lonely, which made Xuan Tiangao pinch the bridge of his nose.

These sons are really more worried than the other, and it seems that they have to find a suitable crown prince as soon as possible.

Otherwise, those ambitious princes would have to fight for the position of prince?

"Mr. Qin, among the remaining princes, who do you think is more qualified to be the prince?"

After watching Xuan Zhengzhao leave for a while, Xuan Tiangao suddenly spoke softly, making Qin Yunling's body tremble behind him, feeling that there was another layer of meaning in His Majesty's words.

"Your Majesty forgive me, I dare not speak falsely!"

Although Qin Yunling was a strong man in the upper five realms, he didn't want to get involved in the muddy waters of these royal matters. If he accidentally said the wrong thing, there might be some unnecessary troubles.

"Let's just talk about it, these sons are too worried, and I am also suffering from a headache!"

Xuan Tiangao waved his hand. In fact, he already had a few candidates in his mind, but he wanted to hear the opinion of the person next to him. After all, a bystander knows, and maybe he will find something different.

"In terms of cultivation aptitude alone, the one just now is undoubtedly the best candidate!"

It was clear that Qin Yunling, who was just chatting casually, made a small joke, but he knew in his heart that after tonight, it would be impossible for Xuan Shisan to sit on the crown prince no matter what.

"Hehe, the lord of a country doesn't just look at cultivation aptitude!"

Sure enough, Xuan Tiangao also knew that Qin Yunling was joking, so he laughed lightly at that moment, which counted as excluding Xuan Shisan, and then looked at Qin Yunling with questioning eyes again.

"The First Prince, Fifth Prince, Seventh Prince, including His Highness the Ninth Prince, and even the Eighteenth Prince, are actually excellent!"

Qin Yunling named several princes like a few treasures, but Xuan Tiangao's face showed a look of helplessness.

"You old slicker, if you say it, it means you didn't say it!"

Xuan Tian laughed and cursed, then rubbed the center of his brows, and said, "It's because there are too many excellent princes that I have a headache!"

"Now that the crown prince's position is vacant, the few you mentioned must all have to fight for their heads. If something really happens that cannot be handled, it will be a loss to my Xuan family!"

Xuan Tiangao did seem to have some headaches, but it was not as much a headache as he had imagined. The royal family struggles are inevitable, and sometimes, these open and secret struggles are even more needed to make a prince grow up quickly.

The current Emperor Daxuan also stood out among the many princes at the beginning, and only then did he secure the throne of the emperor. Strictly speaking, those struggles back then were also a rare experience.

"Forget it, as long as you don't make too much noise, let those boys compete first, and pay more attention!"

Xuan Tiangao sighed, and after seeing Qin Yunling's agreement, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "Mr. Qin, what do you think I would like to accept the dragon shopkeeper of Xinyue Restaurant as the imperial concubine?"

The Emperor Daxuan's thinking was a bit unconstrained, and Qin Yunling was caught off guard by the sudden change of topic, but immediately there was a bright light in front of his eyes.

"Is there anything His Majesty wants to do that you can't do?"

After Qin Yunling was stunned for a moment, he glanced towards the entrance of the hall, thinking that this is Emperor Daxuan, whose status is much higher than that of the former Crown Prince Xuan Zhengzhao.

"But what if she doesn't agree?"

Xuan Tiangao was noncommittal, and also looked at the door. This question meant something. Didn't the former crown prince just eat up during the day?
"Your Majesty is worrying too much. Among all the women in the Daxuan Dynasty, which one doesn't want to become the Emperor's concubine?"

Qin Yunling smiled bluntly, what he said was true, even though he was only an imperial concubine and not an empress, if he really wanted to be favored by Xuan Tiangao, he would be considered a skyrocketer.

Even the princesses of those small vassal countries do not want to go one step further, which will bring the entire vassal country to a higher level.

There are even many monarchs of small countries who will take the initiative to send their good-looking daughters to Daxuan King Capital, just to change the fate of a country by this, and it has to be said that they have good intentions.

"I see that shopkeeper Long seems to be a little different from other women!"

Xuan Tiangao still didn't feel that he could be easily captured. In fact, he suddenly came up with such an idea, not only to stand up for Xuan Zhengzhao, but also to disgust that kid named Lu Xun.

"Your Majesty, I think that although Lu Xun and the shopkeeper Long are not Taoist couples, but judging by the woman's appearance, it seems that Lu Xun is quite fond of Lu Xun. Maybe we can make a fuss about this matter!"

Qin Yunling looked at his face, and immediately understood what His Majesty meant, and as soon as he said this, Xuan Tiangao couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he already had many thoughts in his heart.

"Sigh, the word love in this world, I don't know how many people have lost their lives in it!"

A faint sigh came from the mouth of His Majesty the Great Xuan Emperor, and in his heart, he already had a plan in its infancy, and he just waited for an opportunity to implement it!
…………

Daxuan Wenshi Academy, New Moon Palace!

In the room, Lu Xun sat cross-legged, as if he had fallen into a special state, and his aura was quite strange, which seemed to be a sign of a breakthrough.

At this moment, three full days have passed since the civil and military exchange meeting. Since the big commotion that day, Lu Xun has never left home for these three days.

boom!
When a certain moment came, Lu Xun was shaken all over, as if a special power erupted from his body, and when he opened his eyes, a smile appeared on his face.

"The realm of refining Qi has finally reached the perfection of the sixth realm!"

This is the result of Lu Xun's three-day retreat. By this time, he has reached the peak of the sixth realm, whether it is body refining or qi refining, and he is only one step away from breaking through to the seventh realm.

The difference between the sixth realm and the seventh realm of a martial artist may not be too obvious, but for a monk, these two realms are completely different.

Because the seventh level is the critical point for a monk to fly off the ground, as long as he breaks through to the seventh level, he can soar into the sky like a bird, and he will not be bound by the gravity of the earth.

Now Lu Xun's biggest shortcoming against the monks of the upper seven realms is that he cannot fly.

But once he also steps into this realm, he can almost be said to be invincible in the same realm, and he will no longer be afraid of Ning Wenji, Wei Xiuyuan, these top ten geniuses in the Hundred Battles List.

Crunch!

The sound of pushing the door came out, and Lu Xun, who had just walked out of the room, immediately saw a large and a small figure, it was Lu Xue and Lu Ling'er, both of whom were close relatives of the Lu family who had a blood relationship with him.

"Congratulations, brother!"

Naturally, Lu Xue could sense Lu Xun's uninhibited breakthrough aura, and immediately congratulated with a smile on her face. Lu Linger next to her also imitated her hand, but her face was a little pale.

"Isn't Crescent Restaurant busy?"

Lu Xun touched Lu Linger's little head, and then asked with a smile.

Today's Lu Xue is the absolute chef of Xinyue Restaurant, her talent in cooking is much stronger than Yun Xinyu and Kong Xinyue.

"There are a few trustworthy brothers who have taken over the work of cooking, so I can let it go!"

Lu Xue explained casually, and then let out a little breath from her body, which immediately surprised Lu Xun. It was not only herself who broke through the secret passage during this time.

"The six realms are complete, not bad!"

Lu Xun gave a thumbs up. He could clearly feel that Lu Xue at this moment was already a genuine six-level consummation monk, and a natal sword master with two natal flying swords.

"Not only that, because of the sharpening of Qingxuanjing, Xuejian and Bingyu have greatly improved, and now I have the power to fight even against the strong who have just entered the seventh realm!"

Lu Xue seemed a little excited, and also had a deep sense of gratitude. She clearly knew who was the reason for her cultivation speed getting faster and faster, and the power of the flying sword getting stronger and stronger.

All of this is because of the second brother who has been missing for ten years and has returned.

She believes that as long as there is second brother around, everything will become better and better.
