Chapter 187 The way out
Xiao Ruoling hesitated: "This..."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "This is the sword technique I learned by myself. It does not belong to Baiyun Sword Palace. I can decide who to pass it on to."

Xiao Ruoling still hesitated.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, “If Ruoyu’s swordsmanship is better, you can rest assured, and so can I. Isn’t that wonderful?”

"Hey, thank you, brother-in-law!" Xiao Ruoyu asked excitedly, "What sword technique is that?"

"This is one of the sword techniques I learned, called the Wild Wave Sword Technique." Chu Zhiyuan said, "It fits your current state of mind and your mental method. Let me demonstrate it to you."

As he spoke, he began to demonstrate slowly with the sword.

The sword moves were not fast, but they were powerful, one move after another, overwhelming and suffocating. Xiao Ruoyu's eyes lit up when he saw it.

He felt that this sword move was extremely suitable for him and it was very enjoyable to practice it.

It is much better than the Jinghai Sword Technique. The Jinghai Sword Technique requires slowness but also requires using slowness to defeat speed, which is really troublesome and awkward.

Chu Zhiyuan finished practicing the nine moves and said with a smile: "There are nine moves in total. The sword moves are not complicated. The key is to cooperate with the artistic conception. Just move the artistic conception you practiced in Jinghai Wuliang Sutra over here."

"Okay!" Xiao Ruoyu began to practice excitedly.

These nine moves were not complicated in themselves, and he memorized the general idea after practicing them once. With a few pointers from Chu Zhiyuan, he mastered them completely.

So he practiced non-stop, and became more and more excited the more he practiced. His eyes lit up, and the black martial arts suit on his body fluttered in the wind.

"Bang!" His body suddenly made a muffled sound.

Then he opened his eyes wide and stared at me motionlessly.

"Xiao Hu?" Xiao Ruoling was startled.

“Haha!” Xiao Ruoyu suddenly jumped up and laughed, “Breakthrough! I broke through!”

His eyes widened with excitement and he laughed, "I have entered the realm of the innate!"

Xiao Ruoling was pleasantly surprised: "Really a breakthrough?"

"Just now, as I was practicing, my breath became faster and faster, and I broke through the third level unknowingly. Haha... What a great swordsmanship! What a great swordsmanship!"

Xiao Ruoyu laughed and looked at Chu Zhiyuan: "Brother-in-law, it is worthy of the swordsmanship that you comprehended from the White Cloud Sword Monument. It's amazing!"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded: "This is the power of the sword technique."

He thought that this sword technique would accelerate Xiao Ruoyu's progress in cultivation, but he didn't expect the effect to be so immediate. It was a pleasant surprise.

Xiao Ruoling smiled and looked at Chu Zhiyuan.

Xiao Ruoyu put away his sword and left excitedly: "Brother-in-law, you guys practice, I have to go back and consolidate my skills first."

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand.

Xiao Ruoyu disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Ruoling looked at Chu Zhiyuan with deep and misty eyes, full of gratitude.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Don't be so formal... What about you? Do you want to practice the Flower Moon Shadow Sword, or practice another set of sword techniques?"

"..."

"Then let's go with this set of Flower Moon Shadow Sword." Chu Zhiyuan said, "After all, it was taught by Empress Xigong. The sword technique is extremely powerful and it also suits you."

The practice of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman Kung Fu often makes people become indifferent and look down on the world.

And this Moon Shadow Sword among Flowers also requires a state of mind like the bright moon, illuminating the world, the two are in perfect harmony.

So she can unleash the power of this top-notch swordsmanship.

The reason why he could break it easily was not because his Huajianyueying sword was inferior, but because he had super senses. Under the insight, he could see the real and the fake.

The strongest power of the Huajian Yueying Sword is ineffective against him.

Of course, it also has something to do with the fact that Xiao Ruoling hasn’t practiced to the right level.

The two practiced sword skills for a while and then returned to the pleasure boat to rest.

Xiao Ruoling changed back into her usual palace dress, covering up her fiery figure and regaining her elegant and graceful appearance.

Xiao Ruoling brought him a cup of tea, sat down beside him, and said softly, "I met the princess today, and I could tell that she was feeling very uncomfortable."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "She has been looking forward to my getting married soon to continue the family line. When she heard that it would be postponed for ten years, how could she not be anxious?"

Xiao Ruoling said softly: "I told the princess to let you marry a concubine first."

"Oh——?" Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Mom didn't say that."

"If I really become a saint, you can marry a concubine," Xiao Ruoling said, "My friend is suitable to be the prince's consort." Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand to interrupt her: "You..., I have a jade pendant here, which is a token of Yaoyue Palace. With this pendant, you can ask Yaoyue Palace to help you do something."

He took out the jade pendant from his arms and handed it to her.

Xiao Ruoling took it and looked at it carefully, didn't find anything unusual, and handed it back to him.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "If you really become a saint, I will hold this jade pendant and ask Yao Yuegong to return my unmarried prince's consort to me. I can't wait ten years to get married."

"How could Yao Yuegong agree to this?"

"You are a saint. You can agree on behalf of Yaoyue Palace to give up your position as a saint and become my crown prince's consort," Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "Be a saint for a year or two, and satisfy your desire."

"...Have you planned everything in advance?"

Xiao Ruoling took the jade pendant again, looked at it carefully again, smiled, and suddenly felt that all her endless worries disappeared.

I guess I can sleep well at night now.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It can be considered a coincidence. I got this jade pendant by accident before, but I didn't expect to use it here."

"Well, as a saint, I must uphold the promise of Yaoyue Palace, even if it means resigning from the position of saint!"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "The Saint sacrificed herself to fulfill the reputation of Yaoyue Palace for keeping its promise. I admire you so much. The whole world admires you!"

Xiao Ruoling chuckled.

The room is full of light.

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "Can you hide your identity?"

"Master said there's no need to hide it." Xiao Ruoling said, "The saint girl marries into the Dajing royal family. This is the oath of Taizu and the ancestors of Yaoyue Palace. If I become a saint girl, it will just fit the oath. Yaoyue Palace will be very happy about it. There will be no need to argue about who goes to the capital."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "If there is such a vow, what about the other three sects?"

Xiao Ruoling said: "Master didn't say much, but from her tone, she did say that she doesn't like the queens of the Yongling Divine Sect and the Wuyou Sect."

"Which lady is the Nine-Leaving God Cult's?"

"Empress Li."

"From the Wuyou Sect, Madam Zhen, and the Yongling Divine Sect?"

"Empress Qu."

“It’s true…” Chu Zhiyuan sighed, “The relationship between the four major clans and the royal family is really complicated.”

"It's indeed complicated." Xiao Ruoling said softly, "I can tell that Master is also dissatisfied with the Emperor."

Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Ruoling sighed: "In short, your Majesty is also miserable."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "As the Queen of the West Palace, if you still say that your life is miserable, everyone in the world will laugh at you."

"I have no children, no one to rely on, and I am all alone in this vast world," Xiao Ruoling sighed, "How can I not be miserable?"

"If you look at it from another angle, she is also free from worries and lives a carefree life," Chu Zhiyuan said.

"...I thought so when I was young, but when I get older, my state of mind is naturally different." Xiao Ruoling said softly, shaking her head: "I can feel Master's loneliness."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly: "It is indeed easier to be lonely if you are always bored in the palace."

Thinking about it, this Empress Xigong is indeed embarrassed.

The emperor was on guard against her, fearing that she would pass on his secrets to Yaoyue Palace.

The Yaoyue Palace should also be on guard against her. If the girl is outgoing and falls in love with the emperor, she will inevitably reveal the secrets of the Yaoyue Palace.

Both sides have lost, and the heart is lost. No matter who it is, it is impossible to remain calm.

Especially since she was born a saint and was proud and arrogant, how could she not be angry?
"Starting today, I will go to the palace every day to accompany Master."

"Well, that's fine too."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slightly.

He wanted to remind Xiao Ruoling to be careful. As the Queen of the West Palace, she might not be that weak and it might just be an appearance.

After thinking about it, he swallowed the words.

I am just speculating on people's hearts with the greatest malice, and sometimes they may not be that bad.

Maybe Empress Xigong truly regards her as her disciple, as her successor, and as the embodiment of her emotions.
