Mei Chengxiu did not have the demeanor that a sect master of Quan Zhen Sect should have. He stood far away like a servant and his eyes were filled with respect. It seemed that if Prince Ruyang did not summon him, he would not have stepped forward.
Shen Qi looked at the group of people from afar who were unrestrained and full of spirit. Occasionally, they would say a few words with the wind, but they were just romantic and did not talk about the matters of the court. They gradually talked about the Wind Listening Tower that was about to open tomorrow, but they only talked about how tactful and beautiful the number one actress in Jiangnan was. Shen Qi laughed in his heart,[It seems that although the Mongolians came to the Central Plains and divided the Han people into three, six, and nine classes, they have already assimilated with the Han people in their daily lives. How can they still be the Mongolian cavalrymen with golden spears and iron horses?] They were clearly a group of second-generation heirs who only knew how to enjoy themselves. When he saw that Prince Ruyang again, he was also ordinary. Where was the shrewdness of the generals of the world?
Shen Qi admired the scenery with his hands behind his back and did not look impatient at all. Mei Chengxiu was secretly amazed," The people who came with him in the past would become impatient if they waited for more than ten minutes. He either made some noise to attract Prince Ruyang's attention or walked back and forth. In the end, he went forward without authorization and introduced himself. These two kinds of people were looked down upon by His Royal Highness without exception. Today, seeing Shen Qi's young age, he gave him the feeling that he had experienced the vicissitudes of life and was even older than him.
The sky gradually darkened. The two of them waited for more than two hours before the people on the other side bid farewell. Prince Ruyang naturally stood up to send them off. Shen Qi vaguely heard them mention that they would go to Wind Listening Tower to support them tomorrow. Even Prince Ruyang nodded in agreement and agreed to go together tomorrow. After waiting for a while, a green-robed servant came up and said softly,"Cult Master Mei, His Highness has invited you. Please follow me.”After saying that, he stepped forward and led the way. From the beginning to the end, he had his head lowered. Shen Qi did not even see what he looked like clearly.
However, after taking a few steps, Shen Qi was surprised to find that although the servant in front of him was a servant, his cultivation was enough to become a first-class expert in the martial world. He secretly heard that his breathing was so long that it was almost inaudible. If Shen Qi's 'Dreamy Cloud Great Lake Mental Technique' had not improved greatly, he would not have noticed it. Only now did he believe Mei Chengxiu's words about the number of experts in the Prince's mansion. It seemed that Yuan Ting was very protective of this Grand Marshal. Immediately, Shen Qi thought of the Refining Domain Sect. From the relationship between Yuan Court and the Refining Domain Sect, it was highly likely that these people were specially trained by the Refining Domain Sect to protect the important officials of the court. Otherwise, based on the personality of martial artists, they would definitely not do such a lowly thing.
Shen Qi's thoughts had only spun a few times in his mind when he had already arrived in front of the thatched cottage. The manservant stopped and stood to the side very naturally, as if there was nothing in this world that could move him. However, Shen Qi could clearly feel that: If he had any ill intentions, he would definitely pounce on him like a leopard.
"Sect Leader Mei? Why aren't you coming in?" A clear voice came from the thatched cottage. It was Prince Ruyang.
Mei Chengxiu bowed and agreed. He gestured to Shen Qi and went in first. After a while, Mei Chengxiu called out,""Brother Wang, please follow me." After he saw Shen Qi's performance, he changed his address from Wang Qi to Brother Wang. The change was very natural.
Shen Qi followed Mei Chengxiu into the thatched cottage. Initially, he thought that it was extremely luxurious inside, but after entering, he realized that it was not the case at all. The furnishings in the room were extremely simple. There were not even any decent decorations. There was a person sitting in the middle. It was Prince Ruyang. When he saw Shen Qi, he smiled faintly and said,"Little Friend Wang, please take a seat."
Shen Qi was slightly surprised but did not decline. He sat down in the direction he pointed and heard Prince Ruyang say,""Wang Xiaoyou is in an unknown place, but he is still calm and composed. With your age, this state of mind is very rare. Even this old man can't do it. You're the third person to make this prince admire you so much, so I'm sure you won't disappoint me.”
He went from this old man to this prince, and then to me. The relationship between them can be considered very clear. When Shen Qi heard this, he looked towards Prince Ruyang and saw a pair of clear eyes looking at him with a smile. However, Shen Qi could see dominance, cunning, and even a threat in them. His heart shook,[This old fellow is probably not as simple as he is now. He should be a very shrewd person. However, it's already amazing that he can hide his thoughts.]
However, Shen Qi was very sure that this Prince Ruyang in front of him definitely did not know the martial arts of the people of the martial arts world. So how could he be at ease to let her be so close to him? Was he not afraid that he would assassinate him? Although Mei Chengxiu's strength was also extraordinary, he was a little further away from him, so it was extremely difficult to save him. Shen Qi even calculated that if he were to make a move, he should have a seventy to eighty percent chance of success. As he thought about it, his eyes could not help but look at Prince Ruyang. However, he saw that Prince Ruyang was still smiling at him, as if he had seen through his thoughts. He also seemed to be looking over casually, just looking at the scenery outside.
He would never trust a Han that he had never seen before. Shen Qi pondered for a moment and his body moved slightly. He had a feeling in his heart," From the moment he entered the room, there seemed to be an indistinct true qi surrounding him. As long as he moved, that true qi would definitely act up, and it was likely that it would move faster than him. This was a feeling that suddenly appeared in his mind. It was indescribably wonderful. Although there was no way to explain it, Shen Qi also clearly knew that the reason why Prince Ruyang could let him sit near him was that there must be an expert hidden in the dark who could protect his safety. This was only reasonable. It was just that there were not many such experts in the world. He did not expect that there were actually as many as three hidden in this thatched cottage.
After knowing the strength of Prince Ruyang's subordinates, Shen Qi put away his thoughts and smiled,""Your Highness, you praise me too much. I'm just a commoner in the pugilistic world and don't know etiquette. I hope your Highness can forgive me!”
Prince Ruyang laughed and said,"Little Friend Wang, you must be joking.”He casually talked to Shen Qi about some interesting things in Jianghu and did not mention anything about the Dragon Slaying Saber. Shen Qi only followed his own temperament and thought. He did not deliberately flatter or deliberately provoke Prince Ruyang. The two of them chatted happily and had a lot of common interests, which made Prince Ruyang very happy. Finally, he muttered,"How about this? It's already late today. Tomorrow, you will follow me to Wind Listening Tower to broaden your horizons. I heard that the number one actress in Jiangnan is also a young man. With little friend's elegance, she will definitely be able to catch her eye.”After saying that, he stood up, and the entire process was smooth and unrestrained, showing the extraordinary demeanor of a marshal of the world.
Mei Chengxiu quickly stood up to send him off. He only heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Prince Ruyang leave. He whispered to Shen Qi,""Brother Wang, let's go!" After leaving the thatched cottage, he looked back and suddenly smiled,""I'm afraid Brother Wang won't believe it. This poor Daoist has been in the Imperial Residence for more than ten years, and this is only the fifth time I've come here! Seeing that the only person who could make his highness so happy was brother wang! However, I also admire Brother Wang's knowledge. Many things are not only unheard of, but also never thought of.”
When Shen Qi left the thatched cottage, the sense of danger in his heart disappeared. It seemed that he had already left the range of Prince Ruyang's vigilance. "Sect Leader Mei, you must be joking. I'm just saying what I have to say."”
Prince Ruyang had just left the thatched cottage when a faint shadow said softly,"Your Highness, Wang Qi cannot be trusted. The moment I saw you, I could clearly feel his emotions fluctuating. However, for some reason, he gradually calmed down and probably gave up on the idea of assassination.”
Prince Ruyang stopped in his tracks, and a bright light flashed in his eyes as he asked,"Then how's Wang Qi's cultivation? Did he discover your existence and give up on the idea?”
"I can guarantee with my life that he definitely didn't notice us." Judging from his current cultivation, he was only a first-rate or second-rate expert in the martial arts world. This was absolutely impossible.”His words were extremely confident in their cultivation.
Prince Ruyang did not doubt this. After all, these three people had been protecting him for more than ten years. No one had ever been able to do anything detrimental to him under the protection of the three of them. He nodded and said," Since I didn't find you, there should be no mistake. I saw that Wang Qi was neither arrogant nor impatient, and his answer was very appropriate." What was even rarer was that he did not have the bandit aura of ordinary Jianghu people. Instead, he revealed a sense of otherworldliness. Such a person is rare in my life. He is a rare talent, if he can be used by me.”
"Then what if I can't be used by your highness?”The shadow asked softly.
"Can't be used by me?" Prince Ruyang slowly repeated. After a long time, he said word by word,"Then you can't be used by others!”After saying that, he didn't think about it anymore and quickly left.
The shadow trembled and understood what he meant. He did not say anything else and turned into a shadow that followed behind Prince Ruyang.
When Shen Qi woke up the next day, he saw that the sunlight outside the room was already as high as a pole. He casually asked,""What time is it now?"
Chaotic Law had just returned to his room from his sword practice. After drinking a pot of water, he replied,""It's already past seven in the morning. His Highness just sent someone over to ask you to go over. Seeing that you haven't woken up, he left again.”
Shen Qi remembered that he was going to visit the Wind Listening Tower today, so he got up and packed up. He said to Luan Fa,""Where's your senior brother? Why don't I see him?" He walked out of the room.
"I'm not sure either. I heard that something else happened." He said he can't accompany you, please forgive him.”
Shen Qi nodded. Just as she was hesitating on how to go, a servant quickly came forward and called out,""Young Master Wang, His Highness has already prepared a carriage and is inviting you over!”Shen Qi did not expect Prince Ruyang to wait for him. He was slightly surprised and followed the servant out of the manor. When they arrived at the front courtyard, they saw that several carriages were already prepared. Prince Ruyang was about to step out when he saw Shen Qi and smiled,""I'm really envious of little friend. You can actually hold the sun and moon in your arms and listen to the breeze in your sleep. Looks like you had a great time last night, haha…"
Last night, after Shen Qi returned to his room, Prince Ruyang sent two singers over. Shen Qi found it funny and chased the two out. Now, it sounded like Prince Ruyang had misunderstood him. He smiled bitterly and said,"This lowly one's body is weak, so I am not blessed to enjoy your highness 'good intentions.”
