The outside world was very chaotic, but the Dongwu Imperial Residence seemed ordinary.
Other than Chen Huaijiang who would occasionally be blocked, the Dongwu Imperial Residence was like a secluded paradise that did not know anything about the world.
Huang Dongjie woke up one day and looked in the mirror again. He was afraid that he had become younger again.
When he broke through to the martial grandmaster realm, his appearance went from being in his fifties to being in his thirties. If outsiders saw this, his ordinary days would be gone.
At that time, he controlled the muscles on his face to return to his fifty-year-old appearance.
Every time his cultivation advanced, his appearance would more or less become younger. Therefore, every time his cultivation advanced, he would look in the mirror once and control his appearance to remain the same as when he was in his fifties.
He enjoyed his current life. He cultivated, read books, fished, played chess, and tended to his plants. To him, simplicity was the best.
back garden
under the big Banyan Tree
Huang Dongjie was playing chess. There was no one on the other side of the chessboard. He was not playing against air, but against himself.
Not to mention that he was a weirdo, Bone King could fight with the air, so why couldn't he play chess with him?
Huang Dongjie had been sitting for a long time on the white chess piece's side. Black smoke rose from the top of the black chess piece, forming an illusion of thousands of troops and horses. The white chess pieces were like soldiers guarding the city, staring nervously at the black chess piece's side.
Huang Dongjie moved. He placed a white chess piece with his fingers. As soon as the white chess piece fell, Huang Dongjie seemed to see the defenders of the white chess piece take the initiative to attack.
After the white chess piece was placed, Huang Dongjie stood up and changed his position to the black chess piece. Huang Dongjie did not place his piece in a hurry. He was thinking for more than ten minutes. After confirming it, he placed his piece.
Just like that, Huang Dongjie would change his position after one side finished playing. However, Huang Dongjie's speed was too slow. Every move took anywhere from ten minutes to half an hour.
The heavens couldn't stand it anymore and it started to rain.
It was raining, but Huang Dongjie acted as if he didn't see it and continued to rain.
Li Gui hurriedly rushed over with an oil-paper umbrella, wanting to help his master block the rain. However, the moment he got close to his master, his body trembled.
He saw that his master's body did not have any traces of being wet. It was the same as the chess game on the chess table. Even the medical books placed beside the chess game did not have any traces of being wet.
After careful observation, Li Gui discovered the reason. An invisible membrane covered the surface of his master's body. Even the chessboard was covered by an invisible membrane.
The rain fell on the invisible membrane, forming small streams that flowed slowly on the surrounding land.
Li Gui was bewildered. Was this a protective barrier formed from True Qi? Why did it not feel like it?
Li Gui threw away his distracting thoughts and wanted to go over to shelter his master from the rain. However, his master gave him a look. He understood that it meant that he should not go over and disturb his master.
Left with no choice, Li Gui could only take a few steps back and stand more than ten meters away from his master.
However, he was still a little worried because his master was playing chess under the big banyan tree. It was a rainy day now. What if a bolt of lightning struck down and struck his master?
Li Gui stared at the sky. Fortunately, there was rain and no thunder. However, he was still worried because the weather was unpredictable.
There was no lightning now, but that didn't mean there would always be no lightning. What if there was suddenly lightning?
Just like that, for the sake of his master's safety, he kept staring at the sky.
Those who didn't know better would think that God owed him something.
After an unknown period of time, the rain stopped and the sun gradually appeared.
Huang Dongjie frowned. He was disturbed.
The rain had stopped, but the entire banyan tree was wet. Water dripped down from the dense leaves from time to time, disturbing him.
Huang Dongjie moved closer to the big banyan tree and gently patted it.
The entire great banyan tree shook violently. The wet liquid and water droplets stuck to the bark and leaves were all shaken off.
The densely packed water droplets, regardless of size, were sparkling on the body of the great banyan tree as if time and space had stopped.
This was a visual illusion, but it actually existed for a moment. Suddenly, a magnificent power enveloped the entire banyan tree.
Countless water droplets were evaporating, and the entire banyan tree was subliming with water vapor, as if the entire tree was in a sauna.
Seeing that the entire tree was clean, Huang Dongjie nodded in satisfaction. His control of his strength was not bad. He did not hurt the big banyan tree at all, not counting the fallen leaves.
Huang Dongjie casually went to play chess, but after watching the whole process, Li Gui stood there motionless as if he had been struck by lightning.
His entire expression was as if he had been frightened by something shocking. He was dumbfounded and looked at his master in a daze.
True essence, that was true essence. What covered the great banyan tree was true essence, a standard exclusive to martial grandmasters. His master was a martial grandmaster!
Li Guizhen was shocked. The youngest person to break through to the martial grandmaster realm was 136 years old. How old was his master? He was not even 60 years old, but his master was already a martial grandmaster.
If this was known by the world, it would cause a huge commotion.
For a moment, Li Gui looked at his master with eyes full of worship and fanaticism…
"Sigh, White still lost."
Huang Dongjie stopped and sat up straight, looking into the distance.
"Li Gui, how much strength does the Imperial Residence have left?”
Huang Dongjie summoned Li Gui over, but when he saw Li Gui's fanatical gaze, he was speechless.
After being by his side for so long, she still couldn't learn how to keep her expression unchanged even if the sky fell.
However, when he thought about how he was the one being worshipped, he felt a little happy. Who wouldn't want to be worshipped by others?
He thought to himself,'Am I being a little tsundere?
"Your Highness, other than the guest group, the eleven Foreign Elders, and some servants, nothing else has changed.”
Li Gui said respectfully.
"I thought a lot of people would leave. I didn't expect so few people to leave.”
Huang Dongjie asked casually.
"Your highness, they exist because of you. They are your eyes, your hands, and your shadow. How could they dare to betray your highness?”
Li Gui said with conviction.
"That's true. They either signed a contract to sell themselves or were raised by orphans. If he suddenly let them go, it would be strange if they dared to leave.”
"Forget about them. What about the guest masters? How many people are left?”
Huang Dongjie continued to ask.
"Only five people remain. One wise man and four warriors.”
"Oh, there's still a wise man left behind. What is he after?”
Huang Dongjie was curious.
"Ask the five of them to come and see me. I'm very curious about their reason for staying.”
"Yes, Your Highness."
Not long after, Li Gui brought five people to Huang Dongjie.
old, weak and sick
Huang Dongjie looked at the five people behind Li Gui from afar. His first impression was that they were old and weak.
One of them looked like a scholar. His face was pale and he coughed from time to time. Huang Dongjie did not need any medical skills to know that this scholar was extremely weak.
One of them was an old blind man, alright, a disabled person. To be able to follow behind the crowd at a steady pace meant that his hearing was not bad.
The one on the left was a fatty who weighed almost 400 pounds. Could it be that he had no place to eat and had come to the Imperial Residence to eat and drink?
