“I didn't expect you to come out of seclusion so quickly.”
Xiao Ruoling and Chu Zhiyuan walked side by side, surrounded by a group of guards, separating them from the bustling crowd around them.
Even the sounds seemed to quiet down a lot.
This was the effect of the Four Spirits Formation.
When Guo Chi and the others deliberately deployed it, they could form four walls of Qi, isolating the cold wind and sounds.
Being in the crowded crowd, it was like taking a leisurely stroll.
At this moment, Xiao Ruoling's heart was exceptionally serene, especially with Chu Zhiyuan by her side, which made her feel peaceful and joyful.
Chu Zhiyuan also felt that with Xiao Ruoling by his side, the years were peaceful and beautiful, making his heart calm down, and at the same time, there was a bit of enchanting beauty.
Mo Yi and the four girls were all rare beauties, but being in the same room with them did not give him this feeling, only a sense of aesthetic pleasure.

“Yes, it went smoothly, so I came out of seclusion early.”
“Have you already reached the perfection of the Innate Realm?”
“I'm a Grandmaster now.”
“...Now, you will become famous throughout the world.”
“It should be so.”
Chu Zhiyuan couldn't determine whether becoming famous throughout the world would bring more advantages or disadvantages.
If he didn't know about the existence of the Jade Cauldron Sect and other evil sects, he would think that becoming famous throughout the world would be the best, most enjoyable, and most satisfying thing.
With great fame, he could change the situation of the Prince's Mansion, which would be more conducive to earning merit and exchanging it for cultivation resources, and he would have more hope of stepping into the Grandmaster Realm.
After becoming a Grandmaster, he could be safe and worry-free, and have a long lifespan, and enjoy wealth and glory.
He might even have hope of inheriting the throne.
He originally had no thoughts about the throne, after all, he was only a son of a Prince and not a Prince himself, and there were so many Princes in power, but after becoming familiar with the rules of the throne, he couldn't help but have a trace of ambition: to hold the Son of Heaven's Sword.
However, after he learned about the existence of these evil sects, he knew that many evil sects were specifically assassinating the royal family, and they were all lunatics.
The reason why he has been safe and sound until now is firstly because he has extrasensory perception, which allows him to eliminate the threat of the Jade Cauldron Sect in advance, and secondly because he has never left the inner city.
The inner city of Yujing City is mostly inhabited by dignitaries, with the best security, and the most stringent prevention and suppression of evil sects.
Staying in the inner city can only establish limited merit, and many merits need to be established outside the city.
Once he becomes a Grandmaster, he can no longer shrink back in the inner city, and the environment will become more dangerous, and after his fame grows, he will become a target for evil sects.
It's really hard to say which is more important, advantages or disadvantages.
“Don't want to become famous?”
Xiao Ruoling asked softly.
She already knew Chu Zhiyuan quite well, safety first, extremely cherishing his life.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, “I can't hide it even if I want to, let it be.”
Since Li Hongzhao already knew, then it was impossible to hide it.
If he didn't show his Grandmaster's power today, Li Hongzhao would take action, and once she took action, he couldn't hide his Grandmaster First Heaven Realm.
What's more, there was still a trace of excitement in his heart.
I have a bright pearl, long locked by worldly troubles; today the dust is gone and the light is born, illuminating thousands of mountains and rivers.
His bright pearl was covered in dust, but now it was finally about to bloom with boundless light.
This feeling of light shining in all directions, with everyone in the world admiring him, was actually what he wanted.
His consistent low profile and composure were only for safety, for the sake of his life, and not because he didn't really desire these things.
“Well, that's good too.” Xiao Ruoling nodded lightly.
Grandmasters were different, they had stronger self-protection power, and what's more, she discovered that Guo Chi and the others had mastered the formation, adding another layer of protection.
Chu Zhiyuan slowly stretched out his hand and held her jade-like little hand.
Suddenly, the warm and cool, crystal-clear feeling entered his heart, making him hold it even tighter.
Xiao Ruoling's cheeks were instantly stained with blush, her bright eyes sparkling, barely pretending to be nonchalant, but not daring to look around.
She always felt that the two little maids were staring at her.
Chu Zhiyuan held her jade hand, feeling the further intimacy and peace, while lazily saying, “How is Li Hongzhao?”
“Her temperament is extremely good, but it's a pity that she is a princess of the Great Meng.” Xiao Ruoling said softly, “She saw me also to see you.”
“Too many schemes, too many calculations, it would be very tiring to get along with her.”
“Yes.” Xiao Ruoling nodded lightly.
She was intelligent and calm, so she was aware of many calculations and would not be blinded.
Getting along with Li Hongzhao required constant vigilance, which was indeed very tiring.
However, at the same time, it was also quite interesting and exciting.
Chu Zhiyuan saw the excitement in her deep and blurred eyes, and his thoughts flashed, and he understood her thoughts.
She had been in the backyard for a long time, living a secluded life, and it had been too boring, and suddenly there was excitement, which stimulated her interest.
He originally thought that Xiao Ruoling could easily practice the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden Skill because she was indifferent in her bones and didn't like mundane affairs very much.
Now it seems that it's not entirely true.
Chu Zhiyuan said, “I will eventually have to fight her.”
“Is it unavoidable?”
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: “She will definitely try to defeat me, so as to completely suppress me, even destroy me.”
“Destroy you... in order to weaken our Great Jing?”
“As a princess of the Great Meng, she naturally does not want the Great Jing to be strong, especially if a powerful figure appears in the royal family.”
The reason why the Great Meng was able to rise was because the current emperor of the Great Meng was a genius.
How could the Great Meng allow him to grow up?
Li Hongzhao would find a way to defeat him, and at the same time imprint a shadow in his heart, affecting his entry into the Grandmaster Realm.
Just like what he did to Cheng Tianfeng back then.
This is the so-called turn of the wheel of fortune.
“Then... avoid her?”
“Unless I announce another seclusion, waiting for her to leave.”
“That's not impossible either.” Xiao Ruoling's bright eyes flashed: “Just say that you were injured after seclusion, and you have to extend the seclusion, she can't stay for too long, right? ...But it's not necessarily that she can't stay for long.”
“She can do anything.” Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, “But if I can delay for a while, it should be enough.”
The first level of the Dragon Transformation Art has already been re-practiced, and the meridians are rapidly strengthening.
Compared with True Qi, the improvement of Gang Qi is too great, but the meridians have not been improved accordingly.
Now the meridians can only withstand four Dragon Binding Cords.
In addition to the first level of the Dragon Transformation Art, the Meridian Cleansing Art of the Royal Void Sword Sect is also being practiced, and it is estimated that when it is practiced to the limit, it can only allow the meridians to withstand eight Dragon Binding Cords.
Eight Dragon Binding Cords might be able to break through the first level of the Copper Tower.
So he needs time.
As long as he breaks through the first level of the Copper Tower and steps into the Second Heaven Realm, he can fight Li Hongzhao.
At that time, it won't be him who has a shadow, but Li Hongzhao who will have a shadow.
“Delay for a while...” Xiao Ruoling's bright eyes flickered, thinking of an idea.
She found that she liked this feeling very much, using her brains, strategizing, especially strategizing for Chu Zhiyuan, and she had a great sense of accomplishment.
It was not the same when she was at home.
Although she made the decisions about the affairs in the mansion, her father was old-fashioned, and he would not ask her for her opinion on other matters, especially he would not talk to her about the affairs of the court.
Chu Zhiyuan looked at her with a smile, admiring her beauty.
“Then make an appointment with her for a time.” Xiao Ruoling said, “She is very arrogant in her bones.”
Arrogance was her weakness, as long as she stimulated her arrogance, it could offset part of her shrewdness and power.
“Okay.” Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, “Let's make an appointment for ten days!”
“Okay, I will tell her.” Xiao Ruoling's bright eyes flashed, her radiance dazzling.
Chu Zhiyuan was happy to see her so excited.
