Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

Honesty and openness?

The servant who was leading the way outside the door hadn't gone far when he overheard those four words.

Then the servant felt his heartbeat become abnormal. It beat faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of his stomach.

Although the servant loved listening to gossip, his life was more important.

The future princess hasn't even entered the family yet. If someone were to die by accident, it would be a huge scandal for the entire Prince Qin's mansion.

Anyone who finds out about this news is guaranteed not to see the sun rise the next day.

The servant dog chased after a rabbit, running faster and faster.

It gave the impression that something was chasing him from behind.

"Your Highness, you've frightened the child."

Murong Yao shook her head.

"I'm telling the truth. Aren't we going to be completely honest with each other? Is everything ready?"

Upon hearing Li Changqing's question, Murong Yao nodded.

"We've collected them all; now it just depends on when Your Highness will have time."

"It's here now. Are you going back to the Marquis of Sanyang's residence, or somewhere else? I'll go there tonight..."

Every word Li Changqing said was extremely serious.

Murong Yao understood what the Prince of Qinghe meant.

But she couldn't help blushing and asked, "What night?"

A man wants to enter a woman's boudoir at night.

No matter how you put it, it doesn't sound very nice.

"Do you want it to be during the day? I don't care."

"It's even worse during the day."

At night, he could remain hidden from view; with Li Changqing's skills, he wasn't afraid of being seen.

If it were daytime...

Murong Yao shuddered involuntarily; she didn't dare to think any further.

Once she's seen, whether she likes it or not, she'll probably be carried into the Prince of Qinghe's mansion.

If that day ever comes, then Murong Yao will be the biggest joke in the Sanyang Marquis's mansion for hundreds of years.

Apart from His Majesty the Emperor.

Even the crown prince cannot allow anyone from the Marquis of Sanyang's household to become his concubine.

This is the source of confidence among Kyoto's top elites.

"Then I will go back now and await Your Highness's arrival."

Seeing that she couldn't win by talking, Murong Yao left immediately.

Watching the little girl's departing figure, Li Changqing seemed lost in thought.

It's time for him to cultivate some power of his own.

Originally, Li Changqing had planned to wait until Li Changsheng arrived in Kyoto so that the two brothers could work together to find a solution.

After all, he didn't want to manage this power himself.

Whether it's managing people or managing money, it's an incredibly troublesome matter for Li Changqing.

Push it off if you can.

All he needed to do was make those people obedient and do things for him.

As for how to manage the power base and how to make money to support people?

Naturally, it should be handed over to his elder brother, who was able to become the deputy leader of the Canal Gang.

For those in positions of power, the most important thing is to control key people and resources.

If you worry about everything, even someone as wise as Zhuge Liang will inevitably end up working himself to death.

That was not what Li Changqing was pursuing.

As night fell, Li Changqing went directly to the villa that Murong Yao had pointed out to him.

If this matter is to be kept completely secret, it cannot be done at the Marquis of Sanyang's residence.

Murong Yao was not completely free in the Marquis of Sanyang's residence.

Only in the estate that her mother brought with her as part of her dowry could Murong Yao truly be the one to have the final say.

At this moment, Murong Yao was already soaking in the medicinal tub.

The maids and servants who served her were all sent away.

Murong Yao also gave an order that no matter what happened, no servants were allowed to approach.

When Li Changqing arrived, he saw a beautiful woman bathing.

Although Li Changqing himself didn't care, considering Murong Yao's reputation, it was best if only the two of them knew about this.

"Young Prince, you've arrived!"

Murong Yao's voice seemed to tremble slightly.

On one hand, there was the shyness of a young woman, and on the other hand, there was the excitement of about to break through.

For a martial arts fanatic, knowing that there is no hope of breaking through the Free and Unfettered Realm is a great joy!

That feeling was almost like the sky had fallen.

Murong Yao even doubted what her purpose was in learning martial arts.

Li Changqing can give her a chance to break through.

Although it's just an opportunity, not a probability of a breakthrough.

Murong Yao remained the same, regarding Li Changqing as her savior in life.

"Let's begin!"

Li Changqing didn't waste any words.

The scene was a little ambiguous; the more they talked, the more awkward it would become for them.

It's better to get straight to the point.

"Does Your Highness need to prepare anything?"

Murong Yao asked curiously.

Although she didn't know how to perform the "washing tendons and marrow" procedure or what preparations she should make,

But it's unlikely to be simple.

"I don't need it!"

Li Changqing showed no mercy and placed a palm on Murong Yao's back.

Based on the acupoints on her back, Li Changqing continuously poured his true energy into Murong Yao's body.

A warm current instantly flowed into her entire body. In that instant, Murong Yao felt as if some kind of restriction on her body had been suddenly broken.

Is that all?

The whole process took only a few breaths.

Li Changqing said nothing. His hands continued moving, and his incredibly powerful true energy flowed according to his will.

Murong Yao, who was originally overjoyed, suddenly felt the spiritual herbs in the bathtub begin to be poured into her body frantically.

"what!"

A delicate cry rang out, carrying for dozens of meters.

Fortunately, Murong Yao had previously instructed the servants and maids in the courtyard not to approach the courtyard area under any circumstances.

Otherwise, who knows what kind of gossip would be circulating in the villa.

"Concentrate and give it your all!"

Breaking the restrictions within Murong Yao's body and expanding her meridians was much easier than Li Changqing had imagined.

His true energy was originally abundant, and after cultivating the Cloud Dragon Body Refining Technique, Li Changqing gained unique insights into how true energy could change the internal organs and body shape.

Now, applying this technique to others is a piece of cake.

Expand the meridians while protecting them to prevent any accidents.

After all this was done, Li Changqing began to help Murong Yao absorb the spiritual herbs in the bathtub.

Murong Yao's internal energy surged wildly. The internal energy burned her skin until it was bright red, like a boiled shrimp.

It's unclear how much time passed before Murong Yao's elevated body temperature gradually subsided.

"Carefully experience the power within your body. Only by breaking through from the Innate Realm to the Grandmaster Realm can you truly cross the threshold of becoming a martial artist. A true martial artist uses the true qi within their body as a foundation, mobilizes the power of their entire body, and possesses extraordinary skills."

"The flow of Qi and blood is also different from that of innate martial artists."

With her body temperature dropping, Murong Yao carefully sensed the surging true energy within her body.

From now on, she is a true grandmaster. Even within the Three Yang Prince's Mansion, such strength grants her a certain status and autonomy.

Truly embarking on the path of a martial artist filled Murong Yao with extreme excitement, and she couldn't help but roar out loud.

"what!"

This roar unleashed the surging true energy within her body.

The remaining medicinal soup, along with the bath tub, was shattered into pieces by the true energy.
