Xu Fengnian really wanted to ask Zhao Ce about his martial arts experience.
Even though he was proud, he was willing to lower his status and be a student in front of Zhao Ce.
Because Zhao Ce was indeed qualified.
As the youngest grandmaster in the world, Zhao Ce could become the teacher of all young martial artists.
Zhao Ce put his arm around Xu Fengnian's shoulder and said with a smile,""Feng Nian, I can impart my experience to you, but I have a presumptuous request.”
"What presumptuous request?" Xu Fengnian asked.”
" I heard that the Tide-listening Pavilion in the Prince of Beiliang's Mansion has gathered more than half of the world's martial arts manuals," said Zhao Ce." I really want to see it, so I would like to ask you to take me there."”
Back then, Xu Xiao had roamed the Jianghu and collected many martial arts secret manuals, which were gathered in the Tide-listening Pavilion of the Prince's Mansion.
Almost everyone who practiced martial arts wanted to go to Tide-listening Pavilion to cultivate.
Right? Xu Fengnian was not surprised that Zhao Ce wanted to go to Tide-listening Pavilion.
Moreover, he readily agreed to Zhao Ce's request.
"Sure, no problem."
"Brother-in-law, I can take you to Tide-listening Pavilion.”
Zhao Ce grinned.”
"Brother-in-law, I like you too," said Xu Fengnian.”
Zhao Ce laughed and said,"Then it seems that we are of the same taste."”
"It should be mutual appreciation," corrected Xu Fengnian.”
Zhao Ce nodded.
Xu Fengnian then said seriously,""Brother-in-law, to tell you the truth, I never thought that I would be able to get along so well with a member of the Zhao royal family.”
Zhao Ce knew that Xu Fengnian was telling the truth.
Ever since Xu Xiao overshadowed his master, the relationship between the Zhao royal family and Northern Liang was not good.
Especially after the White Shirt Case that year, the Xu family and the Zhao family were estranged from each other and even walked to the opposite side.
The death of his birth mother made Xu Fengnian hate the entire Zhao Imperial Family.
Before this, Xu Fengnian was strongly against Xu Weixiong marrying Zhao Ce.
The reason why he felt this way was because he never thought that he would be so close to Zhao Ce on his first meeting.
Zhao Ce understood Xu Fengnian.
After thinking for a while, he said,"Although I'm a member of the Zhao royal family, others are others, and I'm me."”
"Also, now that I have become the son-in-law of Bei Liang, my heart will also lean towards Bei Liang.”
Zhao Ce's voice wasn't loud, but it was sincere.
Xu Fengnian could tell that Zhao Ce wasn't lying to him, so he nodded lightly.
"Brother-in-law, the two of us must have a good drink tonight.”
"Alright, let's drink to our heart's content tonight. We won't go home until we're drunk." Zhao Ce said straightforwardly.”
"Alright, Brother-in-law, you continue to rest. I'll go and do something.”
After bidding farewell to Zhao Ce, Xu Fengnian turned around and left.
After Xu Fengnian left, Zhao Ce found Nangong Pushe and said,""The matter of going to the Tide-listening Pavilion has been settled.”
"At least you're efficient."
Nangong Pushe 'praised' Zhao Ce before saying expressionlessly,""You should be my sparring partner."
Zhao Ce couldn't help but smile.
Why was this Nangong Pushe like a robot? He was too persistent and wanted to find him to practice with him every day, regardless of rain or shine.
“?? Come on!"
Zhao Ce knew that he couldn't avoid it, so he could only agree.
……
After Xu Fengnian left the Green Bamboo Court, he went to Xu Xiao's study.
Xu Fengnian swaggered in and sat on the couch. He crossed his legs and acted like he was the boss.
Regarding this, Xu Xiao was not surprised and did not feel the slightest displeasure.
Xu Xiao smiled apologetically and said,"Fengnian, have you met your brother-in-law?”
Xu Fengnian nodded lightly.
"What do you think of Zhao Ce?" Xu Xiao asked.”
"Not bad," said Xu Fengnian."I like it."”
Xu Xiao nodded and then said,"I heard from the servants that you had a martial arts competition with him?”
"We sparred."
" Zhao Ce has indeed stepped into the Grandmaster Realm," Xu Fengnian said." He's much stronger than me. I'm no match for him at all."”
Xu Xiao said softly,"Just from the fact that his martial arts is strong, it can be seen that Zhao Ce is hiding his true strength."”
"Do you think he can be trusted?"
"I think it's credible for now," said Xu Fengnian.”
"I can see that Zhao Ce is more sincere in his words and actions. He doesn't do those empty things.”
Xu Xiao nodded and said,"If Zhao Ce can continue to treat our Xu family like this, then it would naturally be the best. I'm just afraid that he's just pretending."”
"He is now my son-in-law. I don't want him to stand against our Xu family just because he is a member of the Zhao royal family.”
Xu Fengnian nodded in agreement and said,""It's not that we have to let Zhao Ce stand with us. It's fine as long as he doesn't do anything to let down our Xu family.”
"Let's not ask for too much."
"Sometimes, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.”
"I understand what you mean."”
"As the saying goes, time reveals a person's heart. Let's slowly see what kind of heart Zhao Ce has for our Xu family!”
……
When it was almost time for dinner, Xu Fengnian personally went to the Green Bamboo Court and called Zhao Ce for dinner.
Zhao Ce and Xu Fengnian went to the dining room together.
Xu Xiao was already seated.
"Sit anywhere you like," he said.
"Tonight's family banquet is to welcome Zhao Ce.”
"Thank you, father-in-law."
Zhao Ce and Xu Fengnian took their seats.
“?? Just treat it as your own home and be more casual.”
Then, the three of them began to eat and drink.
At the dining table, Zhao Ce talked about the places they had visited and the interesting things that had happened. He also mentioned Xu Longxiang.
"Hearing brother-in-law say so, I also want to travel the martial world.”
After Xu Fengnian heard about how Zhao Ce traveled the martial world, his heart was filled with yearning.
"Feng Nian, your current martial arts aren't enough to support you to wander the Jianghu," said Xu Xiao.”
"When you reach the Grandmaster Realm, you can consider traveling the martial world.”
"No, I can't wait," Xu Fengnian insisted.”
"There are many experts in the Imperial Residence. When the time comes, just arrange two of them to be my guards.”
Xu Xiao did not object to Xu Fengnian traveling the martial world. It was because the Xu family had made too many enemies. He was afraid that something would happen to Xu Fengnian, so he advised him to do so.
"Let's talk about it later!"
Xu Xiao knew that Xu Fengnian was stubborn, so he wanted to fool him first.
Xu Fengnian did not plan to travel the martial world in the near future, so he did not say anything else.
Although it was the first time he had a meal with the Xu father and son, Zhao Ce did not feel distant. Instead, he felt quite warm, giving him the feeling of being with his family.
Zhao Ce enjoyed the dinner very much.
Perhaps he was really old. After Xu Xiao had eaten enough, he bent his back and limped to rest first.
Only Zhao Ce and Xu Fengnian continued drinking.
The two of them really drank, one glass after another, until they were drunk.
In the end, it was Sweet Potato who brought Zhao Ce back to his room.
As for Xu Fengnian, it was the servants in the manor who came to take him away.
