In the sky above the Imperial Palace, two figures were like ghosts and ghosts. They were constantly entangled in the air, and at the same time, they perfectly avoided all the patrolling sentries.
Finally, Chu Xiu and the old woman landed lightly on the glazed tiles of a cold palace.
The old woman looked at Chu Xiu in shock while trying to calm herself down.
Even though they were in the sky above the palace and both sides could not use their full strength, the old palace maid could still feel it.
The young man in front of him was powerful.
The true essence in his body was endless and incomparably vigorous. Moreover, his palm technique was full of power.
However, the most terrifying thing was his sword technique.
When did such a powerful sword technique appear in Xia country?
If it wasn't for the young man holding back, the old palace maid knew that she would have died countless times.
This kid was clearly using him as a practice.
"You're so young, yet you have such cultivation. Could you be the disciple of the South Mountain Grandmaster?”
The old palace maid stared at Chu Xiu, her words carrying a hint of hesitation.
"No!"
"However, you and I are both doing this for the sake of the Imperial Palace, so we are not considered enemies!”
Hearing Chu Xiu's words, the old palace maid heaved a sigh of relief. However, Chu Xiu spoke again.
"Old man, there's only one thing. I don't want my existence to be too ostentatious. Tonight, I accidentally exposed my sword intent!”
"So, I don't want anyone to know that I'm a Rank-9!”
Chu Xiu stared at the old palace maid and said indifferently.
The old palace maid nodded." Your Excellency is here to protect the Emperor. I understand!"”
"Thank you. If you want to discuss martial arts, you can come to the Great Ming Palace to find me at any time!”
Chu Xiu said casually before turning around and leaving.
After Chu Xiu left, the old palace maid hesitated for a moment, then sighed and flew towards Benevolence Palace.
On the way back to the Great Ming Palace, the smile on Chu Xiu's face gradually faded.
Rank-9 was indeed extraordinary.
Although it seemed like the old palace maid was at a disadvantage against him, Chu Xiu understood that the advantage was not as great as he thought.
The old palace maid was shocked. Firstly, it was because it was the first time that the Nine Beyond Swords and the Sky Mountain Six Suns Palm had appeared in this world. She had no way to deal with them.
Secondly, the two of them were holding back and did not show their true strength at all.
After all, once the two ninth-level aces started a big battle, the entire capital would probably be alarmed.
This was also the reason why Chu Xiu suddenly lost interest after fighting for a while.
He had wanted to take this opportunity to exchange blows with a Rank-9 expert.
However, it was not without benefits. At the very least, he had figured out the identity and strength of the Rank-9 in the palace.
The direction she came from was the Palace of Benevolence and Longevity.
Wait a minute!
Chu Xiu suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked at his surroundings. He was stunned!
He was lost!
Although they were traveling in the air, the style of the many palaces in the Imperial City was almost the same.
Chu Xiu ran for half a day before he realized that he had no idea which palace he was in.
After landing on the roof of a palace, Chu Xiu decided to go down and take a look at the name of the palace before estimating his current location.
However, just as he was about to go down, he stopped.
Coincidentally, there was someone in the palace below.
Moreover, Chu Xiu knew that person.
A swing was tied to a huge palace courtyard.
At this moment, a young woman in white was sitting on the swing.
The Empress Dowager, Zhang Yan!
Right now, only the widowed Empress Dowager Zhang Yan could wear such a white dress in the Imperial Palace.
There were no maids or eunuchs around the swing. Zhang Yan seemed to be the only one in the huge courtyard.
He sat alone on the swing without swinging. His expression was wooden like a lifeless puppet.
Dead silence!
Therefore, this was Changle Palace!
The moment Chu Xiu saw Zhang Yan, he understood where he was.
The Grand Empress Dowager lived in the Palace of Benevolence and Longevity, the little Emperor lived in the Great Ming Palace, the Imperial Palace lived in the Palace of Earthly Tranquility, and Zhang Yan, who had just been promoted from Empress to Empress Dowager, lived in the Changle Palace.
As for the Ning Xiang Palace where Eldest Princess Jin Yang lived, strictly speaking, it was not her palace. It was originally an empty palace, but it was later arranged by the late emperor to be used as a temporary residence for Princess Jin Yang.
He understood the direction, but Chu Xiu wasn't in a hurry to leave. Instead, he calmly sat down and looked at Zhang Yan.
The scene below inexplicably moved him.
He remembered everything from his previous life, including his familiar parents, relatives, friends, and brothers.
At this moment, a longing that he had never felt before suddenly surged into his heart.
Just like that, there was one below the courtyard and one on the roof of the pavilion!
Under the full moon, each of them missed each other!
It wasn't until deep into the night that a palace maid rushed out, rubbing her eyes. She came to the Empress Dowager's side and hurriedly draped a cloak over Zhang Yan.
Then, he helped the Empress Dowager into the palace.
...
In the following month, Chu Xiu's life began to have a rhythm. He trained in the East Chamber, went to the Imperial Palace's bedchambers on behalf of the Emperor, went to Changle Palace to sit on the roof for no reason, and then forced the Eldest Princess to run in Ning Xiang Palace.
The first two were ordinary and belonged to their duties.
He went to Changle Palace because Chu Xiu was surprised to find that his distracting thoughts were much less there, and his state of mind could be very stable.
Especially when he saw Empress Dowager Zhang Yan sitting there in a daze, Chu Xiu seemed to be affected as well. His mind relaxed and he felt extremely ethereal.
In this state, even his comprehension of Sword 23 advanced a little.
However, in this month, the most fruitful thing was forcing the Eldest Princess Jin Yang to run.
After a month of persistent training, Eldest Princess Jin Yang's mentality had undergone a huge change.
From the initial resistance to running, to later obedience.
And now, he couldn't wait to start training every night.
Even on inconvenient days, he would use deep breathing to exercise his throat!
In the past month, the Eldest Princess, who had undergone a large-scale development training, had completely submitted to Chu Xiu.
Late at night, Ning Xiang Palace!
Eldest Princess Jin Yang tied her hair up and wore a thin gauze dress that covered her exquisite and graceful body.
At this moment, she was lowering her head, gently rubbing and picking.
"Langjun, I will leave the palace tomorrow!”
After he was done, Jin Yang raised his head and looked at Chu Xiu with teary eyes. His eyes were slowly filled with reluctance.
"Why don't I go and beg mother tomorrow to take Langjun to the princess's manor?”
"When the time comes, Langjun can do whatever Jin Yang wants!”
At the end of his sentence, Jin Yang's eyes were like silk as he said to Chu Xiu obediently.
"Shut up!"
Chu Xiu's expression turned cold. He casually slapped his hand, causing it to tremble.
Then, a hand lifted the Eldest Princess 'chin.
"Go back obediently. Don't forget the mission I gave you!”
