While cultivating, Ling Chen was completely immersed in a state of selflessness.
The Dragon Elephant Prajna was easy at first, but difficult later. To reach the highest level of the thirteenth level, not only did it require a genius, but it also required a lot of time and energy.
Although Ling Chen had yet to completely reach the Supreme Blade Physique, the 280 blade apertures in his body had already been opened. The blade-shaped whirlpools in the blade apertures were constantly tempering his apertures and body. Adding on his own inner qi, he had already reached a certain level.
His cultivation was like a tiger with wings, and his progress was unimaginable.
In a short period of time, he had broken through to the third level.
Unknowingly, it was already the second half of the night. He had even tried to break through to the fourth level!
"Boom!"
With a loud explosion, the wooden door of the Tang Empire of the Hundred Households Institution suddenly burst open. Shards flew in all directions, and with a whooshing sound, they pierced into the ground of the courtyard like nails!
The Embroidered Uniform Guard guarding outside the hall was shocked. He felt the air whistling and exploding. An extremely powerful force crashed into him like a wall of air.
He subconsciously retreated, but he did not panic.
"Hah!"
With a low shout, a black iron rod appeared in his hand. As he waved his hands, layers of whirlwinds were stirred up, and the broken wood pieces that came at him were blown away bit by bit.
At this moment, this Embroidered Uniform Guard displayed a shocking strength.
Under the fourth level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, every piece of broken wood contained a terrifying force of at least a few hundred pounds. However, the long staff in his hand was like the wind, sweeping away one piece of broken wood after another. Although his body kept retreating, he was still straight, and his hands were still strong without any signs of trembling!
This indicated that his staff technique had already been cultivated to an extremely high realm!
His foundation was extremely stable!
"Knife Gripping Rod!"
Ling Chen slowly walked out of the main hall, his gaze falling on the refined iron staff in the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'hands, revealing a trace of interest,"A saber hidden in a stick. This weapon is different from the Embroidered Spring Saber that the Embroidered Uniform Guards are equipped with. Did you join the Embroidered Uniform Guards halfway?”
"Phew!"
The Embroidered Uniform Guard took a deep breath, his face slightly pale. He looked at Ling Chen with a trace of respect.
Hearing this, he quickly put away his staff and knelt on one knee."I am Pei Lun, a lieutenant in embroidered clothes. Greetings, Lord Xiao Qi! To tell you the truth, I joined the Embroidered Uniform Guards halfway!”
Hearing his name, Ling Chen was startled, and then smiled.
"Your name is Pei Lun?"
Glancing at the empty Hundred Households Office, the corners of his mouth curled up."With your strength, you can't be just a small lieutenant who offended someone, right?”
Without waiting for the other party to respond, he continued,"It's already so late, and everyone in the Hundred Households Agency has already left, yet you're still here to protect me.”
"I have offended the people of the East Military Department. Aren't you afraid of being implicated?”
In just a few words, Ling Chen displayed his sharp eyes.
When Pei Lun heard this, she was not angry that her thoughts were exposed. Instead, she smiled brightly.
"This humble servant believes that Lord Xiao Qi is powerful, discerning, and scheming. He is definitely not someone ordinary. Even if he has temporarily offended the eunuch of the East Hall, he will soar to the sky and amaze the world sooner or later!”
He raised his head and looked at Ling Chen with a determined gaze,"Therefore, it's better to send charcoal in the snow than to add flowers to the brocade. If I join now, I will definitely obtain more benefits in the future!”
It had to be said that Pei Lun's performance surprised Ling Chen.
This person exuded a kind of evil aura that was both good and evil. On the surface, he looked like all the Brocade Guards, who would sell their dignity and rely on the strong for the sake of their future. However, he was obviously more discerning, decisive, and straightforward than most Brocade Guards.
Once he made a decision, he would risk everything and not hide his goal at all.
In short, if necessary, he could be a gentleman or a villain.
He was a typical noob at the bottom of the Embroidered Uniform Guards!
But he was very smart!
"Powerful, discerning, scheming…this evaluation seems to be more suitable for you.”
Ling Chen smiled, and suddenly said,"Just tell me, who did you offend?"
Pei Lun's expression froze.
"Uh…"
He smiled embarrassedly, and his eyes unconsciously lowered as he looked at Ling Chen," Indeed, I can't hide it from the discerning eyes of Lord Xiao Qi. Actually, I was originally a commander. The reason why I was pushed to the bottom and became a small commander in embroidered clothes was because of one person…"
"Yang Yuxuan, the number one young master of the East Chamber!”
As he said this, although his eyes were lowered, he stared at Ling Chen from the corner of his eyes, and his breathing quickened.
"Yang Yuxuan?"
Ling Chen was a bit surprised, but he quickly understood,"This person has the same name as the Minister of War. Isn't he afraid that he will be taken as Yang Yuxuan's accomplice and his entire family will be arrested and executed?”
"Of course he isn't afraid. His foster father is Cao Shaoqin, the foster son of Cao Zhengchun, the Second Supervisor of the East Military Chamber!”
Pei Lun said with a hint of embarrassment on her face," A few years ago, I accidentally bumped into Cao Shaoqin's carriage, so he sent Yang Yuxuan to teach me a lesson. He's quite an open and aboveboard person. He agreed to have a kung fu competition with me, and the loser will be dealt with freely…"
"This humble servant is ashamed. After losing half a move, I was beaten to the end and became a commandant in embroidered clothes!”
Ling Chen nodded, accepting this reason.
"There are so many eunuchs in the East Chamber.”
He was speechless as he complained, but he did not expect Pei Lun to agree with him."I heard that Yang Yuxuan is actually the son of the Minister of War, Yang Yuxuan. He was adopted by Cao Shaoqin when he was young and trained to be an assassin. He was the one who killed Yang Yuxuan a while ago!”
"If this news is true, these eunuchs are really inhumane!”
These words were a bit roundabout, but Ling Chen heard them very clearly.
However, he was not interested in this gossip.
He glanced at Pei Lun and walked away."You've been in the Embroidered Uniform Guards for so many years, and you seem to be well-informed. You should have some channels to find out the whereabouts of many Jianghu people, right?”
"What?"
Pei Lun looked at Ling Chen with a dumbfounded expression, and only after a long time did she remember something, hurriedly jumping up,"So…I've been taken in by the lord?”
Ling Chen's footsteps did not change as he calmly said,"You should be glad that you hid a knife in your stick.”
Pei Lun didn't understand what he meant, but he quickly followed him and showed his loyalty with a smile." Don't worry, Your Excellency. The Jinyiwei, the East and West Chambers have their own records of the whereabouts of famous people in Jianghu. No matter who Your Excellency is looking for…"
"I have my ways!"
