Sitting next to Prince Yu was his daughter, Princess Pingyang.

Pingyang's gaze swept around, as if he were searching for something.

Prince Yu guessed his daughter's thoughts and said, "Su Nan is of a quiet and unassuming nature. He might not come to an occasion like today."

Prince Yu is not blind.

He knew something about the relationship between his daughter and Su Nan.

Prince Yu simply couldn't be bothered with it.

One reason is that his career is going smoothly, and there is no need for him to sacrifice his daughter's happiness in exchange for anything.

Secondly, Su Nan is no simple man either, and he has recently gained the Emperor's favor. He may become another Wei Yuan in the future.

It's not necessarily a bad thing that Pingyang and southern Jiangsu are getting closer.

Pingyang withdrew his gaze and replied with a faint smile, "Father, Brother Su will definitely come."

"He just seems to have a rather calm and easygoing personality!"

Prince Yu did not want to discuss a man with his daughter in such a public setting.

Let's leave aside the things you two do in private.

What kind of behavior is it to discuss men in public?!

Reputation!

A young lady should be mindful of her reputation!

So Prince Yu stopped talking.

"By the way, why haven't I seen His Majesty?" Pingyang knew she was being a bit inappropriate, so she subtly changed the subject to distract her father.

Prince Yu glanced at the imperial tent and laughed, "The two in the palace are having a heated argument, but His Majesty finds it annoying and doesn't want to come down. He should be looking down from the Bagua Terrace right now."

He said "Oh".

She immediately asked, "Father, what is the purpose of the Western Regions delegation's visit to the capital this time?"

"This unfounded proposal to engage in a contest of wits is truly perplexing."

The mission didn't just arrive on a whim; it must have a purpose!

The tense actions of the Buddhist community in recent days have made people realize that the Western Regions delegation's visit to the capital was not a friendly affair.

"Perhaps it's related to the Sangbo case."

Prince Yu, now serving as Minister of War, is aware of some court secrets and has guessed part of the truth.

But it's best for him to remain unaware of these things.

In this year of imperial inspection, everything must be done with utmost care!

Pingyang nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

I'll ask Brother Su when I have the chance.

Father may not know, but Brother Su certainly does!

In Pingyang's mind, southern Jiangsu is an omnipotent entity.

The thought of her beloved brought a smile to Princess Pingyang's face.

It's a pity I can't sit with Brother Su today and watch the magical duel.

Chapter 93 Su Nan's domineering entrance, every step a poem

Before we knew it, it was already past 9 AM.

The time for the duel between the Supervisor and Master Du'e, which they had agreed upon, has arrived!

Master Du'e, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation under the shade of the pavilion, opened his eyes and said in a loud voice: "Supervisor, do you know the Sumeru mustard seed?"

Immediately.

From above the nine heavens came the Supervisor's sneering voice.

"It's just a little trick!"

As these two voices rang out, a deafening roar erupted across the square.

Whether they were high-ranking officials or ordinary people, everyone present was excited and thrilled.

The main event has begun!

Master Du'e then took out a golden bowl from his sleeve and gently tossed it out.

"boom!"

The golden bowl weighed over a thousand pounds; when it struck the stone slab, it cracked and embedded itself deeply into the ground.

Followed by.

A pure golden light rose from the bowl, spreading out in the sky and revealing a towering mountain with winding stone steps leading to the end of the forest.

At the top of the mountain, there is a temple.

"The Golden Bowl actually contains a high mountain?!"

"My God... divine skill..."

"How could such a small thing contain a mountain?!"

"..."

Many ordinary people who had never witnessed the methods of high-level cultivators were stunned and speechless when they saw this scene.

In their eyes, this method was almost like magic.

But it's much more impressive than magic tricks.

"Father, what is a mustard seed that contains Mount Sumeru?"

Standing behind Wei Yuan, Nangong Qianrou frowned.

"This is a Buddhist story," Wei Yuan explained, glancing at the misty mountain.

"Mount Sumeru can be contained in a mustard seed, and a mustard seed can contain Mount Sumeru."

"Legend has it that the Buddha held a mountain called Mount Sumeru, which was his sacred site. No matter where he went, the sacred site was there."

Yang Yan, nicknamed "490," recalled the Battle of Shanhai Pass twenty years ago and the scene of Buddhist monks transporting troops, and exclaimed in realization, "A Buddhist kingdom in the palm of your hand?"

Wei Yuan nodded: "There is a mountain hidden in the golden bowl."

"Jingsi, go into the mountains and take charge of the second pass," Master Du'e instructed.

The handsome monk in the blue robe stood up, put his hands together in prayer, and then, in full view of everyone, stepped into the golden bowl.

The next moment, a young monk climbing a mountain was added to the scroll unfolding high in the sky.

He climbed the steps slowly, came to the mountainside, and sat cross-legged.

Golden rays of light poured down from the sky and gathered on him. In an instant, his body was covered with a layer of golden light, and he looked as if he had been cast in gold.

Immediately, the voice of salvation resounded from the heavens.

"Today's contest will consist of three rounds!"

"If you, Supervisor, break through these three barriers, then our Buddhist sect will be defeated!"

"..."

Du'e explained the rules of the contest.

These details were already published in yesterday's imperial edict, so the onlookers had no reaction.

What everyone is more interested in right now is the details of the battle.

What exactly are these three levels?

More importantly, who will the Imperial Observatory send to fight?!

Will the chief inspector personally take action?

As Master Du'e finished speaking, the curiosity of the people reached its peak!

"Who should we send to fight?!"

"We can't let these bald monks run rampant here any longer!"

"Isn't it time to make a move?"

"..."

The people's voices grew stronger, converging into a surging wave of protest.

All eyes were on the observatory.

Everyone was eager to know who they would be facing next!

……

Bagua Platform.

Having received the message from the supervisor, Su Nan arrived at the top floor of the Star Gazing Tower early.

He looked at the towering mountains in the sky and laughed, "A mustard seed contains Mount Sumeru; Buddhism truly has remarkable methods."

With his back to him, Yang Qianhuan nodded and said, "The Sumeru Mustard Seed is also known as the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm of Your Hand. However, this should be an unclaimed world, hidden in a golden bowl."

“If it is a ‘Buddhist Kingdom’ with an owner, then the outcome depends on the owner’s decision, which is fair.”

Chu Caiwei glanced at Su Nan with some worry.

She didn't quite understand why the teacher wanted Su Nan to fight against those bald monks from the Buddhist sect.

Although Su Nan was very talented, he was ultimately just an ordinary person, and he was also addicted to wine and women, having his body drained by many courtesans...

Is he capable?

Thinking of this, Chu Caiwei took out a handful of prepared pills from her bosom and stuffed them into Su Nan's hand.

"These are all very nourishing pills; they should be helpful to you."

Chu Caiwei blinked her big eyes and said very seriously.
