Chapter 942 Invitation

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Brother, this may not be because of this."

"Then let's take a look." Li Cunren said with a smile.

Chu Zhiyuan raised his voice and said, "Please ask Miss Fan to come over. His Highness is also here."

"Yes." Fu Zheng responded.

After a while, Fu Zheng led Fan Yuxuan into the courtyard.

Fan Yuxuan was wearing a blue silk gown, which looked simple, elegant, graceful and dignified.

Chu Zhiyuan stood up, clasped his fists and saluted, then smiled and invited her to take a seat.

After Fan Yuxuan saluted with Li Cunren, she sat opposite Chu Zhiyuan and said softly, "My Lord, when will Her Royal Highness the Princess come out of confinement?"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "I don't know yet, do you have something to ask Madam?"

Fan Yuxuan said, "It's not me who wants to talk to Her Royal Highness the Princess, it's my elder brother."

Chu Zhiyuan raised his sword-like eyebrows and said with a smile: "What's the matter, young marquis?"

"My eldest brother is leaving the imperial city to go to the battlefield. There are some matters that I need to consult with Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"I guess we won't see each other then." Chu Zhiyuan said, "Madam won't come out of seclusion for the time being."

"Yes." Fan Yuxuan shook her head helplessly.

She took the tea offered by Fu Zheng, sipped it gently, and looked calm.

Chu Zhiyuan knew at a glance that she had something else to do.

Li Cunren asked, "Miss Fan, is there something you want me to say that I should avoid you?"

Fan Yuxuan put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you are too kind. There is no need to be so harsh."

Li Cunren said: "Just tell me what you want to say. My brother-in-law is a straightforward person and he doesn't play tricks."

"Yes." Fan Yuxuan looked at Chu Zhiyuan and said with a smile, "I am here to ask the Prince Consort on the orders of my master."

"Are you asking about the Chaofeng Sword Sect?" Li Cunren asked with a smile.

"Yes." Fan Yuxuan said, "It is said that the Prince Consort has passed on another set of sword techniques to the Chaofeng Sword Sect."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded gently: "The Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Sword Art is something I learned in the Phoenix Cave Heaven, so I have to pass it on to the Phoenix Sword Sect."

"Your Highness has learned the sword technique again? This is cause for celebration." Fan Yuxuan said.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I have gained something from comprehending the divine treasures of the Chaofeng Sword Sect."

Li Cunren laughed and said, "You Qingwu Sword Sect and Chaofeng Sword Sect don't get along, so you better be careful this time."

Fan Yuxuan asked, "How does the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Sword Technique compare to the Paying Homage to the Phoenix Sword Technique?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled without saying anything.

Fan Yuxuan's expression darkened.

She knew what Chu Zhiyuan meant.

This prince consort has always been humble, low-key and never boastful.

The fact that he dared to say so showed that the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Sword Technique must be far superior to the Paying Homage to the Phoenix Sword Technique.

This was naturally a blessing in disguise for the Chaofeng Sword Sect, but it was a bad thing for their Qingwu Sword Sect.

The four major sects have been fighting openly and secretly, but the Qingwu Sword Sect and the Chaofeng Sword Sect are particularly incompatible and the fighting is more intense.

If the Chaofeng Sword Sect grows in strength, his Qingwu Sword Sect will be in trouble.

Li Cunren laughed and shook his head: "You Qingwu Sword Sect are unlucky. First it was the Falling Abyss Sword Art, and then it was the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Sword Art. It's miserable!"

Every additional sword technique will strengthen the Chaofeng Sword Sect.

As one rises and the other falls, the Chaofeng Sword Sect becomes stronger, while the Qingwu Sword Sect appears weaker.

The situation quickly tilted towards the Chaofeng Sword Sect, and the Qingwu Sword Sect was at a clear disadvantage.

Fan Yuxuan smiled bitterly: "Maybe the Prince Consort has some grudge against my Qingwu Sword Sect..."

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand and said, "I can't think so much. I don't seem to have any grudges with Qingwu Sword Sect."

Fan Yuxuan asked, "Does the Prince Consort want to see the sacred treasures of our sect?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I have to make it clear first, I may not necessarily gain enlightenment from observing the divine treasure."

"Of course." Fan Yuxuan said with a smile, "No one dares to be sure that one can understand martial arts by reading the Shenzang."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "I am extremely curious about the treasures of the gods. If there is a chance, I naturally don't want to miss it."

"Then on behalf of our sect, I invite you, my Lord, to visit the cave and visit the sacred treasure."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Is your clan really so generous?"

He didn't expect Qingwu Sword Sect to react so quickly and unconditionally.

The divine treasure is the most secret of all sects.

"When will the prince consort arrive?" Fan Yuxuan asked hurriedly.

Chu Zhiyuan pondered.

Li Cunren smiled and said, "In order to avoid any more trouble, let's just go ahead."

"Tomorrow," Chu Zhiyuan said, "I'm going to go see my wife today." "Okay, then tomorrow." Fan Yuxuan said hurriedly.

She was afraid that Chu Zhiyuan would go back on his word, so she confirmed the time immediately.

Chu Zhiyuan thought for a moment and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, then tomorrow."

Fan Yuxuan said, "I will come over tomorrow to accompany the Prince Consort."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Fan Yuxuan drank the tea in one gulp, put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Your Highness, Prince Consort, I will take my leave now."

She couldn't wait to share the news with her master and the sect.

Chu Zhiyuan stood up and clasped his fists.

Fu Zheng sent her off.

After her graceful figure disappeared, Li Cunren asked with a smile: "How is it?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded: "Brother, you are very good at predicting things."

Li Cunren said proudly: "I know their four major sects too well."

"Then I'll go see the lady first."

"Well, it's time to go see the twelfth sister."

……

In the evening, when Chu Zhiyuan returned to the Prince Consort's Mansion, he saw Lu Qingyuan among the crowd welcoming him.

Deciding that she came to play with Fu Zheng, Chu Zhiyuan didn't care. He just nodded and continued walking towards the mansion.

Lu Qingyuan followed him into the backyard.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at her in confusion.

Lu Qingyuan smiled shyly: "My Lord, I heard that the Qingwu Sword Sect is here to visit us. Can you please come over?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "You are well-informed."

He glanced at Fu Zheng.

Fu Zheng hurriedly said: "Your Highness, please don't wrongly accuse me!"

Lu Qingyuan hurriedly smiled and said, "My Lord, it wasn't Xiao Zheng who told me that."

Chu Zhiyuan retracted his sidelong glance towards Fu Zheng and said with a smile, "This is true."

Lu Qingyuan pulled out an invitation from her bosom and presented it with both hands: "The head of the academy invites the prince consort to come over and sit down."

Chu Zhiyuan took the invitation and asked: "What do you want, Master Zhuang?"

Lu Qingyuan shook her head: "It's not an order, it's a thank you."

Chu Zhiyuan looked at her with a half-smile.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Our clan is simply grateful and has no other thoughts." Lu Qingyuan said solemnly.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Lu Qingyuan asked: "When are we going there?"

"I'll leave after I wash up."

"Please, my Lord."

……

When Chu Zhiyuan arrived at Chaofeng Villa, the lights were already on.

The entire Chaofeng Villa was shrouded in the soft light emitted by strings of lanterns, adding a hazy feeling.

Zhuang Juyue personally brought a group of experts to welcome him to a rockery in the courtyard.

The rockery is more than ten meters high, and there is a small pavilion with eaves on the four corners like eagle wings, as if ready to fly away at any time.

Sitting in the small pavilion, you can overlook the entire courtyard, which feels majestic even at a height of more than ten meters.

Cold dishes and fine wine had already been placed on the stone table in the pavilion.

As they sat down, the maids brought in delicious dishes.

Lu Qingyuan and the others all left, leaving only two people in the pavilion.

Zhuang Juyue held the jug in her bare hands and filled a glass of wine for him personally, then filled a glass for herself. She put down the jug and picked up the glass, first toasted him, and then began to speak.

First he expressed his gratitude, then his emotion, and then he described the situation of Lu Qingyuan mastering the sword and then passing it on to other disciples.

He was filled with admiration for the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix sword technique.

Chu Zhiyuan listened with a smile and didn't say much.

At the end, Zhuang Juyue indeed mentioned the Qingwu Sword Sect and the invitation from the Qingwu Sword Sect.

"Your Highness, be careful of the Qingwu Sword Sect." Zhuang Juyue said softly.

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "What do you mean?"

Zhuang Juyue sighed: "The Qingwu Sword Sect and our Chaofeng Sword Sect have completely different styles of doing things. We can't trust them too much."
