"I am Chu Xiao, a disciple of the Carefree Sect.”Chu Xiao introduced himself.
"I'm Liu Chunfeng, a martial arts master passed down in my family.”Liu Chunfeng returned the greeting.
"Lord Liu, please." Chu Xiao smiled and gestured to Liu Chunfeng, acting like an expert.
"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony."
Liu Chunfeng threw a straight punch at Chu Xiao's right rib. His body moved quickly and his speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to see him clearly.
Chu Xiao did not do it for nothing. He dodged to the left and grabbed Liu Chunfeng's arm with his right hand. "Lord Liu, please use your full strength."”
"Alright, heroes come from young people. I only used 50% of my strength just now. Young Master Chu, be careful.”
After saying that, he swung his tail and went straight for Chu Xiao's face at twice the speed as before. Chu Xiao circulated his Qi and used Subtle Steps to dodge, his speed was even faster than Liu Chunfeng's.
"Lord Liu, I'm going to attack." Chu Xiao reminded.
After saying that, Chu Xiao used Wave Subtle Steps to appear behind Liu Chunfeng. Chu Xiao's afterimage appeared on the spot. From this, one could see how fast Chu Xiao was. He used both hands to attack Liu Chunfeng's neck. Seeing that they were about to fight, Chu Xiao slightly restrained his strength. After all, it was just a spar. The back of the neck was a vital part of the human body. Liu Chunfeng was either dead or crippled.
Just as they were about to touch, Liu Chunfeng turned around.
He leaned back and raised his legs to force Chu Xiao to change his moves.
Unfortunately, Liu Chunfeng did not know that the Tianshan Plum Splitting Hand was a martial art of the masculine attribute. It emphasized on the strength of the force, so Chu Xiao did not stop. The last palm landed on Liu Chunfeng's foot. Liu Chunfeng used the force to lift his upper body and floated backward. Chu Xiao took half a step back from the force.
Although Chu Xiao could chase after him and take advantage of Liu Chunfeng's injured leg, he could still take him down. However, Chu Xiao did not do that. Instead, he stopped and stood there. Outsiders might not be able to tell, but in their hearts, they knew that Chu Xiao had won. If Chu Xiao had not restrained his strength in time, Liu Chunfeng would not have reacted in time.
"Thank you for your mercy, Young Master Chu." Liu Chunfeng also felt Chu Xiao holding back. He admired Chu Xiao greatly. To have such high martial arts at such a young age.
"Over there, Lord Liu's martial arts are extraordinary.”Although Chu Xiao won, he did not show a proud expression. Instead, it gave Liu Chunfeng a way out. After all, there was someone to carry the sedan chair. It was a matter of one sentence. The officialdom was not like the martial arts world. He could charge around recklessly.
"Your Majesty, I lost. If Young Master Chu hadn't shown mercy, I'm afraid…”After the two of them finished their cultivation, Liu Chunfeng spoke to Emperor Zhao Xu first.
Hearing Liu Chunfeng's words, the three people present were stunned. Firstly, they did not see the comparison clearly. They only saw the two of them separate in the end and did not know the inside story. Secondly, he did not expect Chu Xiao to have such powerful martial arts at such a young age.
"Ha…ha, okay. As expected, heroes came from young people. Chunfeng, get up too. Zhen will not blame you." At this moment, Zhao Xu was very happy.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Chunfeng stood up, but it was obvious that his foot was still a little crooked. He must have been injured just now.
Although Chu Ling was shocked, he was still very proud of having such a good son.
"From now on, I announce that Chu Xiao will be the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. He was in charge of all matters of the Brocade Guard. Minister Wang Aiqing and Minister Chu Aiqing assisted in the construction of the city.”Zhao Xu was overjoyed.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chu Xiao thanked Feng with a calm expression. From now on, Chu Xiao was already an official and could not call himself a student.
"We will obey." Wang Anshi and Chu Ling also knelt down to receive the decree.
"There's one more thing. I want to take you in as my foster son today. Do you agree?" Zhao Xu said enigmatically.
"Your Majesty, you can't." Before Chu Xiao could say anything, Wang Anshi and Chu Ling quickly stepped forward.
"Why not?" Zhao Xu's expression was clearly unhappy that his official had interrupted him.
"Your Majesty, this is unprecedented.”This matter happened too suddenly. Wang Anshi and Chu Ling did not know what to use to convince the Emperor. They could only use the ancestral system as an excuse.
"Just because you didn't in the past doesn't mean you won't in the future. I'll ask Minister Chu and Chu Xiao if they agree to this.”When Zhao Xu heard this reason, his tone became even more unhappy.
"Your Majesty, I agree." The Emperor was already angry, so how could he dare to disagree? Besides, Chu Ling agreed to this matter a thousand times over. It was just a superficial effort.
When Wang Anshi heard this, he had no choice. There was no way to stop him, so he could only keep quiet.
It was Chu Xiao's turn. Chu Xiao thought for a moment. He felt that this matter was very beneficial to him. Besides, it's just one more godfather. It's not like he'll lose a piece of meat. So he went forward to thank him. "I am willing."
"Alright, get someone to grind the ink." Seeing that no one objected, Zhao Xu summoned the eunuchs.
The eunuch was grinding ink while Zhao Xu wrote on the imperial edict. Everyone thought that it was about taking Chu Xiao as their godson, so they stood there without moving.
