Shenwu Evil Emperor

Chapter 823 Difficulty self
The news that Qi Dao Grandmaster Qi Baimei went out to travel and accepted a disciple quickly spread in the upper circles of the imperial capital, and many people secretly sighed at that person's luck. Being able to become Master Qi Baimei's apprentice will increase his status. !
On the day of the banquet, a group of servants in Tsing Yi were busy in front of the Qi Mansion. Some were busy leading horses and arranging vehicles to park, and some were responsible for guiding distinguished guests to the entrance. There were sharp-eyed stewards patrolling the door to prevent anyone from sneaking into the mansion.

Ling Yuchen came here on foot with Qin Hong, and seeing the crowds and bustle in front of the Qi Mansion, he couldn't help but secretly startled.

Qin Hong lowered his voice and introduced each driver to Ling Yuchen, telling him which family power the Peugeots printed on those carriages represented.

The two of them came to the gate of the mansion while they were talking, and the steward of the Qi mansion recognized Qin Hong at a glance. After all, Qin Hong was in charge of managing many of the Qin family's properties in the imperial capital, so he was quite well-known.

"Young Master Qin, please come in, uh... Who is this Young Master?" the steward asked.

"He is my friend, and he came to Master Qi's banquet with me." Qin Hong replied.

"Oh, please, two young masters, please come in."

The steward glanced at Ling Yuchen, and saw that he looked a little younger, and the clothes he was wearing were also made of ordinary materials, obviously not from a big family, but from Ling Yuchen, he faintly felt a kind of bearing that no children of a big family had. Therefore, he guessed that Ling Yuchen must not be an ordinary person, so he didn't ask too much.

The two entered the mansion, and were led by the servants to the banquet hall in the depths of the mansion. Along the way, many guests stood together in twos and threes, laughing and chatting beside the flower beds and under the promenade. Seeing Qin Hong coming, many of them People toasted, and Qin Hong also greeted many acquaintances with a smile.

"Brother Ling, the banquet will take some time to start, and your friend hasn't shown up yet, why don't we take a walk?" Qin Hong asked.

"Okay." Ling Yuchen nodded casually.

……

There is a gazebo in the center of the back garden of the Qi Mansion. A group of young men and women are sitting in it talking freely, and laughter can be heard from time to time.

The most striking of this group of young men and women is a man and a woman.The man was about twenty years old, his face was like a jade plate, he was handsome and handsome, he was wearing a golden robe, his dark eyes were full of confidence, and his gestures showed an extraordinary bearing.

From the names of other people, it can be known that this person is the thirteenth prince of the Xiwu Empire, who once picked a star from the star scroll in the Star Picking Tower.

And the girl is Sikong Rui'er, with long legs and slender waist, white and tender skin, and a pleasant appearance. She is even more beautiful with an emerald green dress, and her big watery eyes are blinking, as if she can talk , with a delicate beauty.

The others are also of the same age, and they are the children of several wealthy families in the empire, and their speech and demeanor also exude a noble atmosphere.

"My prince has always admired Master Qi. Miss Rui'er can become Master Qi's beloved disciple. I am gratified. This is a congratulatory gift from my prince."

The thirteenth prince flipped his right hand, and a brocade box appeared in his hand. He put the brocade box on the table while talking.

"The thirteenth prince is polite."

Sikong Rui'er smiled politely, and did not touch the brocade box on the table in front of her, apparently not caring about it.

"Come here, open the brocade box."

The thirteenth prince saw that Sikong Rui'er didn't intend to open the brocade box, and his expression was a little unnatural, then he ordered the attendants standing not far away to come forward and open the brocade box.

As soon as the brocade box was opened, a brilliant brilliance was emitted from it.Everyone probed to look, and immediately shouted in unison, and clearly saw a white pearl on the yellow silk in the brocade box, which was about the size of a longan, smooth and white, very magnificent!

"This pearl is produced in a 1000-year-old clam in the West Sea. There are three benefits to keeping it around. One is not afraid of cold and heat, the other is that it can repel mosquitoes. The most important thing is that it can make the skin of the wearer more white and tender. Miss Ruier please accept it."

The thirteenth prince looked at Sikong Rui'er with a gentle smile, and said word by word.

He has seen countless women with beautiful looks, although Sikong Rui'er has good looks, she can't be called stunning.He valued Sikong Ruier not because of Sikong Ruier's beauty, but because Sikong Ruier was Qi Baimei's apprentice.

Sikong Rui'er was distracted, thinking about other things in her mind, looking at the few people she didn't know well in front of her, she felt bored for a while, but out of politeness, she couldn't show it.

She glanced at the pearl in the brocade box, and refused with a smile: "Thank you, the Thirteenth Prince, for the gift, but it's too expensive, I can't accept it."

The thirteenth prince immediately said: "It's just a pearl, Miss Rui'er doesn't need to..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a burst of laughter. Everyone followed the sound, and saw a figure walking out of the garden, it was the Fourth Prince!
"Thirteenth brother, Miss Rui'er doesn't like Mingzhu, so don't force her." The fourth prince strode forward, and immediately an attendant stepped forward to add a chair.

A gloomy look flashed in the eyes of the thirteenth prince, but his face was calm, he got up and said with a light smile, "Hello, fourth brother."

Others also saluted one after another.

The fourth prince waved his hands indifferently, his eyes fell directly on Sikong Rui'er's face, he also took out a brocade box from his arms, and said, "Thirteenth brother, Miss Rui'er is not an ordinary woman, so naturally she is not interested in Mingzhu." Please look, Miss Ruier, this is the meeting gift prepared by the prince."

With a wave of the fourth prince's hand, the brocade box popped open, and there was a volume of ancient animal skin books inside.

"This ancient book was discovered from an ancient ruins. It is a remnant of an ancient master craftsman. It records his lifelong insights into crafts refining. I think Miss Rui'er will definitely like it."

After hearing the fourth prince's introduction, Sikong Rui'er did take an extra look, but she still shook her head and politely declined.

At this point, everyone could see that Miss Rui'er refused the gifts from the two princes again and again, obviously because she didn't want to get entangled with the two princes too much.

The fourth prince was slightly astonished, and immediately smiled heartily, and said: "It's okay, after all, it's the first time we meet, Miss Rui'er should be coming to the imperial capital for the first time, why don't you choose a day to go out with the prince for a walk, and see the various parts of the imperial capital How about the scenery?"

Seeing this, the thirteenth prince immediately invited Sikong Rui'er to sit in his prince's mansion another day.

The two princes talked endlessly.Everyone could see that the two princes wanted to establish a relationship with Master Qi through this new apprentice of Master Qi Baimei.

Sikong Rui'er felt a little annoyed in her heart, she occasionally replied politely, although she was sitting here, her thoughts had already flown away, she secretly said in her heart: "Brother Ling is in the Martial Academy of the Imperial Capital, when can I see him?"

Thinking like this, she asked aloud: "Princes, can I ask something?"

"What's the matter, please tell me." The two princes immediately responded enthusiastically.

"I have a friend in the Imperial Capital Martial Academy, how can I meet him?" Sikong Rui'er asked.

"This matter is simple. This prince can order someone to send a message to enter the Imperial Capital Martial Academy, and tell your friend to send it, and you can see him." The fourth prince said straightforwardly.

"That's right, what's the name of your friend?" The Thirteenth Prince asked.

Sikong Rui'er hesitated for a moment, pursed her thin pink lips, and said seriously: "His name is Ling Yuchen."

As soon as Sikong Rui'er said this, the lively pavilion suddenly became quiet.Everyone, including the two princes, had extremely strange expressions on their faces.

Especially the fourth prince, his face darkened slightly, and there was a stern look in his eyes.

"You mean, Ling Yuchen is your friend?" The thirteenth prince broke the silence first and asked.

Sikong Rui'er nodded and said, "Yes, one of the reasons I promised Master to come to the Imperial Capital is to meet Big Brother Ling."

Hearing Sikong Rui'er's words, the thirteenth prince was fine, after all, he had never met Ling Yuchen, he just heard his name, but the fourth prince was different, hearing this name, his heart almost exploded!

At this moment, Sikong Rui'er suddenly screamed, stood up, her clear eyes showed a strong color of joy, and then, her figure flashed, turned into a stream of light, and flew towards the archway of the back garden .

"Brother Ling!"

Ling Yuchen and Qin Hong were wandering around in the Qi Mansion, and they walked to the back garden without knowing it. He suddenly heard a familiar voice, he suddenly raised his head, and saw a girl flying towards him like a butterfly.

"Ruier!"

Seeing the girl's appearance clearly, a surprised smile appeared on Ling Yuchen's face.

Sikong Rui'er couldn't believe that she saw the person she was thinking about so quickly. She rushed forward and threw herself into Ling Yuchen's arms. on the chest.

"Brother Ling, I was thinking about how to meet you just now, but I didn't expect to see you today." Sikong Rui'er smiled with her face up.

"Uh……"

Ling Yuchen didn't expect Sikong Rui'er to be so excited, and couldn't help being a little dazed.

Seeing this scene, Qin Hong was slightly taken aback, but soon came back to his senses, with a smile on his face.He originally thought that Ling Yuchen and this apprentice of master Qi Baimei were just ordinary friends, but now it seems that the relationship is not ordinary.

In the gazebo, the expressions on the faces of the two princes became a little exciting, the thirteenth prince was helpless and unhappy, while the fourth prince was annoyed and furious!
Seeing Master Qi Baimei's female apprentice throwing herself into Ling Yuchen's arms, the fourth prince felt a tightness in his chest, and felt like he was about to vomit blood!
"Brother Ling, are you here to see me?"

Sikong Rui'er also seemed to realize that her actions were a little too much, she let go of her arms around Ling Yuchen, took another two steps back, and then asked.

"Of course." Ling Yuchen heaved a sigh of relief and nodded without hesitation.

Hearing Ling Yuchen's answer, Sikong Rui'er smiled even more, "Brother Ling, then I will stay in the imperial capital from now on, so I can see you anytime."
