Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

Chapter 202 Old man, this is His Royal Highness

The sun was setting as usual.

The sunset glow in the sky is as red as blood.

From the endless darkness to the reappearance of light, only a short moment has passed.

Some unsuspecting servants and maids of the palace even thought that they had an illusion.

But Jubei Wang, Xiaoman and others who watched the battle in Ziyanyuan seemed to have gone through a long day and night!
"The first owner..."

"Failed?"

The King of Rejecting Bei was stunned.

That's a legendary character at the pinnacle in the middle of the Star Reaching Realm, an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years!

In the state of Chu, Jing's lineage ruled the world with "imperial power supremacy". Even the two temples in the north and south of the Buddhist holy places had to bow their heads to it, but only Meteorite Pavilion and Huamanlou dared to oppose it!

Why?

Because they have star-strike realm existences like Xingyi and No. [-] Lord who transcend imperial power!

And today...

There is also the Palace of Rejecting North.

Not only has it, but its strength is even higher than that of the first landlord!

"Picking the stars..."

King Jubei looked at the white-robed figure standing under the radiance with a complex expression, and there was a lot of relief and pride in his eyes...

And a little worry.

When the son enters the capital, it is dangerous to compete with Fan Yu, the leader of the son list.

If you lose, your reputation will be greatly reduced, and if you win, you will offend Emperor Jinghong and Jixia Academy.

but……

Now that Jiang Qingyu has already reached the Star Reaching Star, there is no need to put the two in his eyes.

But for all the stars in the world, there is always a big mountain on their heads——

The Patriarch of the Dragon Cultivation Realm of the Jing clan, the first emperor of the Chu Kingdom who seized the imperial power from the Wu clan of the Yue Kingdom hundreds of years ago, Jing Yang!

Since the founding of the country, this person was promoted to the Dragon Raising Realm within a short period of time, and passed the throne to the eldest son on the second day after the promotion, and has been focusing on practicing in the capital since then.

Since then, the world's stars are still beyond the imperial power, but they dare not enter the capital again!
Over the past hundred years, Jing Yang has absorbed countless people's incense and vows, his cultivation has become more and more unfathomable, and the luck of Chu has been rising year after year!
At this time Jiang Qingyu entered the capital, in case her true cultivation was seen through...

I'm afraid it will lead to death!
"If I knew this earlier, I shouldn't have persuaded you to be the prince..."

King Jubei let out a long sigh inwardly, and a little more worry appeared on his face.

The other side.

At the moment when the dark vortex shattered, Du Heng, the number one host, felt the backlash. He couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

But compared to the injuries on his body, what made him feel more painful and unacceptable was a failure!
He lost.

Lost to a young man who had just been promoted to Star Reaching for less than a month!
"how is this possible?"

"How could it be so strong?"

"Even if it's Yu Yi, he can't take this trick from me in the early stages of the Star Reaching Realm!"

Under the mask, Du Heng's face was pale, with a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

His eyes were full of unwillingness and resentment.

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something:

"That's right, you are not entering the Star Reaching Realm for the first time!"

"As early as when Beidi saw Nvluo, you were already the fourth-rank innate, so you killed Tuobayan and Bals so easily!"

"That's why you gave up the chance of King Feng to enter the imperial scripture pavilion to Nuluo!"

Du Heng's tone was very firm.

He had to find an excuse for his failure, otherwise he might become unstable and go mad!

At this time, Jiang Qingyu stood under the radiance, looking down at the other party with indifferent eyes.

He didn't make any excuses, just glanced down, and saw that many people in the palace had noticed the abnormality just now, and they all looked up at him, their eyes full of curiosity and awe.

This scene made him frown slightly.

There are many people in the palace, and today's discussion with the first landlord is bound to spread and cause an uproar in the rivers and lakes.

This is not what he expected to see.

What he wants is to hide his strength and bide his time, not to show off and attract attention.

So the next moment, Jiang Qingyu disappeared out of thin air, and at the same time dropped a few words:

"Senior Brother Du, I accept it!"

"The two moves have passed, and our discussion is over."

"I hope that when you come to the palace next time, you can show more respect to the prince and the prince."

"Also, if possible..."

"I don't want outsiders to know about this, especially those in the royal family."

"..."

Du Heng's face was uncertain for a while, and he also glanced down, with a hint of cruelty and murder in his eyes:
"This seat is the same."

At the same time, he looked at King Rejecting Bei and reminded:
"Jiang Qiushui..."

The face of King Rejecting Bei was also full of murderous intentions:
"The king understands."

"There are some nails that should be pulled out."

Du Heng nodded, and wanted to leave at this point, but his eyes swept to Xiao Man who was watching him, so he fell from the void and walked in front of the other party:

"When will you go home?"

Xiaoman snorted softly, seemingly dissatisfied:

"Why do you go back? Kill people?"

"I'm tired of killing!"

Du Heng sighed lightly.

He knew he was a good leader, but not a good father.

He has been busy managing Huamanlou all these years, and he really owes Xiaoman a lot.

"Go back and have a look when you have time."

"After the beginning of spring, your master will be closed to death. This time, she swore a poisonous oath that if she doesn't break through, she won't come out of the closed door. If you don't go see her..."

"I'm afraid we won't have the chance to see each other again in the future."

Obviously, Du Heng is not optimistic about this person's breakthrough.

"..."

Hearing this news, Xiao Man was astonished.

Du Heng stretched out a hand and rubbed his daughter's head.

Xiaoman originally wanted to dodge, but hesitated for some reason, and finally did not dodge.

"You're hurt."

"A little injury, it's fine."

Du Heng's eyes are gentle:

"In the future, if you are bullied here, remember to tell dad, even if it is that person just now, dad will beat him down to vent your anger for you!"

"Don't think that Dad lost a little bit in this match, but Dad deliberately let him, it's not that he can't really beat him!"

"..."

Xiao Man hummed lightly, without exposing the other party's lies, but asked:
"That person just now... who is it?"

"a friend."

Du Heng said shamelessly:

"This person is a disciple of Sword Saint Yu Yi and a senior brother of that boy Jiang Qingyu. He has only been promoted to the Star Reaching Realm in the past few days."

"Young man, he is warlike, and he wants to compete with dad for a while."

"Father agreed to teach him two tricks, but he was afraid of hurting him, so he kept a few percent of his strength, but he didn't want to be too big and get hurt by him instead."

"But you don't have to worry. It's just a small injury. You don't even need to apply medicine. It will heal itself in a few days."

Xiao Man was slightly taken aback:
"Master Yu is a disciple of Old Sword Master Yu?"

Under the mask, Du Heng looked helpless.

He said so much in one breath, but why did my daughter seem to only hear the word "Jiang Qingyu"?
"Yeah, that kid is really lucky!"

"Master is a star, brother is a star, even the future father-in-law is still a star..."

"It's as if all the stars in the world are revolving around him alone!"

Du Heng couldn't help being amazed.

He seemed to have completely forgotten that his original intention of coming to Ziyanyuan this time was to assassinate Jiang Qingyu, so as to force Yan Luo to show up and seize his inheritance.

On the side, Xiaoman blushed and muttered in a low voice:
"It's Xiaoman's good luck to meet the young master!"

"..."

A trace of sourness appeared in Du Heng's heart:
"You, it's hopeless!"

"By the way, what about the kid? The old man is here, why don't you come out to pay a visit?"

Xiaoman looked distressed:
"Young master went to sleep and returned to the cage. Beidi and his party exhausted him, and he slept for ten hours in a row yesterday..."

"Ten hours? Still sleeping in the cage?"

Du Heng was trembling with anger:

"He sleeps all day, but leaves his daughter in the yard to do the work of servants?"

"It just doesn't make sense!"

"Daughter, you are not pretending to be a maid to cultivate feelings, you are clearly a widow!"

"No, I want to drag him off the bed and ask him if he really cares about you!"

Xiaoman said with a straight face:

"You are not allowed to speak ill of the young master!"

"You are not allowed to disturb his sleep!"

"well!"

Du Heng was very helpless about her daughter's elbow turning outward:
"I won't drag him, I will wait for him here and see how long he will sleep!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Luqi and the second daughter Duyou who were trembling behind the kitchen door, and nodded in a friendly way:
"Are the two girls cooking?"

"I can already smell the aroma of the food. If it is convenient, can I have an extra pair of chopsticks for dinner?"

The second daughter, who had some vague guesses about Du Heng's identity, immediately put on a flattered look, faltering and saying:

"Yes, yes."

……

at the same time.

Jiang Qingyu lay on the couch, smiling wryly.

It is true that he won today's sparring, and he also let out a sigh of relief for the King of the North.

however……

In this battle, Du Heng, the number one host, was seriously injured, but he also paid a heavy price.

That destructive one finger consumed [-]% of the incense and vows he had accumulated earlier!
"Without the power of incense and fire, the yin body is only equivalent to an early star picking star."

"But if you have the inexhaustible power of incense, maybe..."

"Isn't it impossible to fight in the Dragon Raising Realm?"

Jiang Qingyu looked to the south, a sharpness flashed in her eyes.

After this battle, he felt more and more necessary to talk to Liu Jie about getting a share of Beidi's incense.

"This time in Beijing..."

"No one can stop me from bringing my mother and elder brother back!"

……

On this day, Jiang Qingyu didn't make Du Heng wait too long.

Less than half an hour later, he walked out of the room.

At that time, Du Heng was looking for a chair to sit by the fish pond, closing his eyes and recuperating.

After hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Xiao Man, who had been staring at the bedroom, ran out of the kitchen first, took his son's arm, pulled him to Du Heng, and introduced:

"Young master, this is my old man!"

"Old man, this is His Royal Highness!"

Jiang Qingyu cupped her hands in a salute, without revealing any flaws on her face:

"Qingyu has seen Uncle."

Du Heng sighed helplessly, and took off his mask, revealing the face of a middle-aged man in his forties:

"Women don't stay in college."

"His Royal Highness, I don't know when my daughter will become the Imperial Concubine?"

"It's not like my little princess, who is full of flowers, wants to be your maid and concubine for rejecting the prince of the North, right?"

Jiang Qingyu said sincerely:

"Of course not."

"I've planned a long time ago that the position of Princess Concubine belongs to Xiao Man, but she is still young..."

Du Heng interrupted immediately:
"Age is not a problem."

"Why don't you make a marriage arrangement for the two of you today, and when she turns eighteen, you and I will get married immediately, how about that?"
