Chapter 1399 Amazing Talent
Yan Se walked into the hall with a staggering gait. When he saw Chao Xiaoshu, his expression remained unchanged. He just bowed to Tang King Li Zhongyi who was sitting at the top of the table.

"Yan Se has met His Majesty."

"Stop being so polite." Li Zhongyi stretched out his hand to signal Yan Se that there was no need to be so polite.

"Master Yan Se, are you in the palace today for some urgent matter?" Li Zhongyi asked politely, glancing at Xiao Shu.

He shrugged at Xiaoshu. He thought Yan Se came to the palace to confirm his words to King Tang.

"Originally, I wanted to go to the palace to meet the Emperor last night, but thinking that His Majesty might have gone to sleep, I waited until morning." Yan Se still looked lazy and sloppy when facing King Tang.

Li Zhongyi pointed at Chao Xiaoshu and said, "If Master Yanse came here for him, I can tell you now that the person behind the Yulong Gang is indeed me."

Yan Se shook his head and said, "I didn't come here for the little tree, but for a genius in formation."

"A genius in formation?" Li Zhongyi asked curiously, "Master Yan Se, which young talent do you see and want to take him as your disciple?"

Although Yan Se was the best talisman master in the world, he never accepted any disciples in his life. It was not because he did not want to, but because he looked down on the mediocre people in the world and felt that ordinary people were not worthy of being his disciples.

As he got older, the successor gradually became a concern for Yan Se, especially since he also had the heavy responsibility of guarding the "Jingshen Formation". If there was no one to inherit the "Jingshen Formation" after his death, he would not be able to explain to King Tang.

"I met a genius in formation yesterday. He actually comprehended the mystery of the Shocking God Formation and triggered a trace of the power of the formation without going through the formation hub." Yan Se said seriously.

"What?" Li Zhongyi stood up suddenly.

No one understands better than Li Zhongyi the significance of the "Shen Jing Zhen" to the Tang Dynasty.

The practitioners in this world are extremely powerful, especially those who have surpassed the five realms. They can truly ignore millions of troops and take the head of a general as easily as taking something out of a bag.

It is because of the existence of the "Shocking God Formation" that the King of Tang can sit in peace in the palace without worrying about being beheaded by a great cultivator one day.

Now Yan Se actually said that someone could mobilize the power of the Shocking Spirit Formation without going through the Formation Hub. Doesn't that mean that he could use the Shocking Spirit Formation to kill anyone in Chang'an at any time! ?
"Who is that person? But I am from Tang." Li Zhongyi said nervously.

Chao Xiaoshu was also nervous at this time. He knew of course that Yan Se was talking about Wang Gang.

Yan Se glanced at Chao Xiaoshu and said, "That man is Chao Xiaoshu's new sworn brother, Wang Gang."

"It's him again." Upon hearing this, Li Zhongyi couldn't help but look at the white paper with Wang Gang's name written on it.

"Your Majesty, Wang Gang has mastered the essence of the Jingshen Formation and is my best successor." Yan Se suddenly bowed and said to Li Zhongyi.

"Master Yan Se wants to accept Wang Gang as his disciple?" Li Zhongyi was stunned.

"No." Yan Se shook his head and said, "I am not qualified to teach such a brilliant person. In fact, I think there is only one person in this world who can teach him."

Li Zhongyi looked at Yan Se in surprise, as if he met him for the first time.

"I didn't expect that Master Yan Se, who always looks down on others, would praise a young man so much." Li Zhongyi said with a smile: "I would like to meet this Wang Gang."

Chao Xiaoshu's heart tightened again. He wanted to speak several times, but gave up in the end.

"Just by walking around Chang'an City a few times, he was able to understand the formation of the Shocking Spirit Formation, and then practiced the formation into his body and created a technique on his own. Even the Sword Saint Liu Bai, who is known as the best swordsman in the world, is far inferior to this kind of talent." Yan Se sighed:
“If Wang Gang had met me before he began to cultivate, I would have accepted him as my disciple and passed on his teachings to him no matter what.

It's a pity that he has achieved great success in his cultivation and has realized his truth. It would be a waste of his talent if he became my disciple!"

Li Zhongyi looked at Chao Xiaoshu again and asked, "Is he loyal to the Tang Dynasty?"

Chao Xiaoshu naturally understood who "he" Li Zhongyi was talking about.

"Your Majesty, Wang Gang is absolutely loyal to the Tang Dynasty. He even wants to enter the academy and become your disciple." He knelt down and said to Xiaoshu.

Li Zhongyi sighed and said, "Xiaoshu, you don't know the significance of the Shocking Spirit Formation to the Tang Dynasty. It is the last line of defense that Master built for the Tang Dynasty, and it must not be lost." He bowed his head to Xiaoshu and shouted, "I am willing to guarantee with my life that Wang Gang will never do anything that is detrimental to the Tang Dynasty."

Li Zhongyi lowered his head and looked at the recommendation letter to Wang Gang again, and suddenly asked Yan Se something he didn't want to do.

"Master Yan Se, Wang Gang wants to apply to the academy, what do you think?"

"With Wang Gang's current level of cultivation, he should go straight to the second floor exam." Yan Se said confidently.

Li Zhongyi was silent for a while, then asked: "Where is Wang Gang now? I want to meet him in person."

The eunuch accompanying the King of Tang whispered something in Li Zhongyi's ear, and Li Zhongyi's eyes widened when he heard it.

"Wang Gang is at Yu'er's house now?" Li Zhongyi asked in surprise.

Chao Xiaoshu and Yan Se looked at Li Zhongyi at the same time.

Li Zhongyi covered his mouth, realizing that he had said something wrong.

"Ahem! Master Yan Se, I will consider Wang Gang's matter. You can go back to the mansion and rest first. After I have inspected Wang Gang, I will decide whether to hand over the Shocking Spirit Formation to him."

"Yes." Yan Se nodded, clasped his fists, then turned and left the hall.

Li Zhongyi looked at Xiaoshu again and said, "Xiaoshu, you stay in the palace for a few days. I will announce the matter of the Yulong Gang to the world. You don't have to worry about it in the future."

He bowed to Xiao Shu and said, "Your Majesty, I resign from the position of leader of the Yulong Gang. I want to travel around the world with a sword and comprehend the way of the sword."

Li Zhongyi frowned and said, "I'm in need of people right now. Can't you stay and help me? Don't forget, I'm your brother too."

Chao Xiaoshu said in embarrassment: "After yesterday, I have realized that my path is not in the court, but in the martial arts world! I hope Your Majesty will grant me your blessing."

Li Zhongyi sighed and said, "I will think about this carefully. You go and have a rest first. We will talk again after we have handed over the affairs of the Yulong Gang."

Chao Xiaoshu knew that Li Zhongyi was reluctant to leave him. Emperors are lonely men and have few friends with whom they can talk.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chao Xiaoshu slowly left the hall.

Li Zhongyi said to his personal eunuch: "Let Yu'er come in."

The eunuch took the order and quickly brought Li Yu into the palace.

"Your son greets you, father." Li Yu bowed to Li Zhongyi when he saw him.

"No need to be polite!" Li Zhongyi picked up Wang Gang's recommendation letter and said, "Yu'er came to see the emperor, but is it for this recommendation letter?"

Li Yu smiled and said, "I miss my father, so I came to the palace to pay my respects."

Li Zhongyi said happily: "Yu'er is still close to father. You have been back to Chang'an for a few days. Are you used to living here? If the princess's mansion needs anything, just ask father."

"My father has given me more than enough. I lack nothing."

Li Zhongyi smiled and said, "Today I will go to your princess's house. It has been a long time since we, father and daughter, have had a meal together."

Li Yu was slightly stunned, not understanding why Li Zhongyi wanted to have dinner at her house today!
The emperor leaving the palace is no small matter, and the princess's mansion is not prepared at all!

"Let your third brother Hunyuan go to the princess's mansion with us so that our family can have a good reunion dinner." Li Zhongyi suddenly said.

"Your son obeys your order." Li Yu bowed.
