I became a prince in a martial arts world.

Chapter 326 Inviting Wang Yu to Attend the Ceremony

While Yu Qinghou and his wife were chatting privately, Wang Yu was also chatting privately.

"It's actually the Sword Master and his wife!"

Of the five famous swords and two famous sabers in the world, the most enviable are the Saber Lord and his wife.

Although Liu Suifeng is dashing and unrestrained, he has too many women. Although Gu Xiangsi is deeply affectionate and devoted, his wife died young. The other sword demons are too old, the sword emperors are too arrogant, and the sword lords are Xianbei people, so they are not worthy of envy.

Only the Sword Lord Yu Qinghou and his wife Xiao Fumeng were a perfect match, living in harmony and contentment. They retired to Junshan Mountain, living a carefree life like immortals. Yet, their status in the martial arts world was unmatched, and their words could shake the entire world.

The four most famous couples in the martial arts world combined are not as famous as the Sword Master and his wife.

Even Qu Lingbo, who was far away in Miao territory, had heard the story of Yu Qinghou and Xiao Fumeng, and it was she who expressed her feelings at this moment.

Li Yunxiu joked, "How did it feel to take a blow from the Sword Master?"

Wang Yu snorted, "So what? In another year, I'll catch up to him!"

With one batch of Nine-Turn Essence Elixir and another batch of newly refined White Jade Ginseng King Elixir, containing seven rare spiritual herbs that are hundreds of years old, Wang Yu is confident that if he takes them in installments over the course of a year, he can raise his talent and skill to the peak of the Grandmaster level.

The three women, knowing that Wang Yu was immune to all poisons and could continuously improve his skills, were speechless. As long as Wang Yu's martial arts comprehension could keep up, then his skill level and realm would definitely not be a problem.

But as everyone knows, Wang Yu's greatest strength is his understanding of martial arts. Back when he was in the Acquired Realm, he could give Fang Shaobai pointers. He learned any martial art very quickly and could even adjust, modify, and innovate.

The Xuan Su School's "Xuan Nu Jing" and "Su Nu Jing" were separated for more than two hundred years, and disciples of all generations were unable to complete them. Even Zhuang Muyu went outside to seek "Wan Liu Gui Yuan" (The Return of All Streams), which he easily integrated.

With a sufficient supply of pills, it's not impossible for Wang Yu to claim that he can quickly catch up with the Five Swords and Double Blades.

If he could catch up with the Five Swords and Double Blades within a year, his speed would definitely be faster than that of the Three Immortals and Two Beauties. After all, they still need to accumulate internal energy and true qi, constantly comprehend their realms, and they can't keep taking drugs!

The three women looked at Wang Yu as if he were a god.

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Li Yunxiu waved her hand, some things are too painful to talk about. "Let's talk about Dao Jun and his wife instead."

Li Yunxiu looked at Wang Yu and said, "The Dao Lord and his wife have come here for Xiao Ruoying."

Wang Yu nodded. "Not bad."

Li Yunxiu said, "It's probably true that Yaocai Manor wants to form a marriage alliance with Wu Qiyuan."

Wang Yu nodded. "Not bad."

Li Yunxiu said, "The person that Yaocai Manor used for the marriage alliance should be Xiao Ruoying."

Wang Yu nodded. "Not bad."

Although it was a marriage alliance between Yaocai Manor and Wu Qiyuan, it was Xiao Fusheng who was brought to the forefront. Moreover, Xiao Fusheng was the brother-in-law of Daojun Yu Qinghou, so Xiao Ruoying's status was sufficient.

Qu Lingbo asked, "Could it be that the Sword Master and his wife have come here truly to take Xiao Ruoying away?"

Li Yunxiu glanced at Wang Yu with a smile, "Then we'll have to see what our husband's attitude is towards Xiao Ruoying."

Yun Ling also laughed, "Wu Qiyuan's 80,000-strong army has been wiped out by you. If he can marry Yu Lang, what is Wu Qiyuan but a nobody?"

Li Yunxiu said, "That's why Xiao Fumeng kept saying that Yaocai Manor and Zhennan Prince's Mansion were going to be linked by marriage, and she even wanted to force her husband to show up, just to see her husband's attitude."

The three women all looked at Wang Yu.

Wang Yu smiled without saying a word.

Who would say they're interested in other women in front of their own woman?!

The next morning, Yu Qinghou and his wife brought Xiao Ruoying, who had already advanced to the Innate Realm, to thank Wang Yu.

"Ruoying told us everything about the 'Suppressing Mountain Skill' and the Three-Ganoderma Nourishing Spirit Pill."

Xiao Fumeng said, "Ruoying is young and unaware of the value of these two items. Please forgive me if I have been negligent."

Wang Yu waved his hand, "Madam Yu, you are too kind. Since Ruoying has brought this up, you two should know that we were able to obtain the 'Suppressing Mountain Technique' and the spiritual medicine for alchemy thanks to Ruoying."

Xiao Fumeng laughed upon hearing this, "Yaocai Manor did indeed want to form a marriage alliance with the Prince of Zhennan, but we turned it down. I regard Ruoying as my own daughter. What is the Wu family? How dare they covet Ruoying?"

After their conversation, Wang Yu and Yu Qinghou sat in the courtyard chatting.

"Your Highness is very discreet," Yu Qinghou said with a smile.

Having basically revealed his secrets yesterday, Wang Yu didn't hide anything anymore and replied with a smile, "Actually, I didn't deliberately hide anything, but of course, I didn't deliberately show it either. Also, those who knew helped me cover some things up."

Yu Qinghou nodded knowingly, "Your Highness is generous and sincere, so naturally the people around you are also righteous."

He did not promise to help Wang Yu keep quiet, but given the couple's reputation in the underworld, even if they didn't say anything, Wang Yu would never worry that they were gossipy.

"Your Highness's ice and fire internal energy is ever-changing, merging and flowing, and is extremely mysterious."

Yu Qinghou commented, "But ice and fire are inherently incompatible, and I observe that both ice and fire are extremely polarized. I know Your Highness's ice..."

The frost-infused internal energy comes from Granny Snow Mountain's "Ice and Snow Divine Skill," but where does the flame-infused internal energy come from?

He had witnessed Wang Yu's "Sunset Reflection" move and knew that although the "Fire Reflection" passed down in the Zhenxi Prince's Mansion was powerful, it would never have such fiery energy.

Wang Yu said, "It's 'Burning Heart' by the Old Ancestor of Blazing Fire."

Given Yu Qinghou's martial arts skills and knowledge, he would never covet Wang Yu's martial arts. Although the Fiery Ancestor's martial arts were high, they were just ordinary in Yu Qinghou's eyes. Therefore, Wang Yu did not hide anything and briefly described the events in the Northeast.

Regardless, the Fiery Ancestor was a founding patriarch, a martial arts master, and a figure renowned throughout the martial arts world.

Even Yu Qinghou had to marvel at Wang Yu's luck.

"Ice and Snow Divine Skill", "Blazing Heart", and "Mountain Suppressing Skill" are all martial arts techniques at the Grandmaster level. For ordinary martial artists, obtaining even one of them would be considered extremely lucky. Wang Yu obtained all three.

But besides luck, Wang Yu's martial arts talent is also extraordinary.

Because of his high level of cultivation, Yu Qinghou was better able to understand the profound talent and aptitude required for cultivating ice and fire together.

The most famous sect in the martial arts world that cultivates both water and fire is the Kanli Sect. However, in Yu Qinghou's opinion, although the water and fire cultivated by the Kanli Sect are pure, their extreme power is not as good as the ice and fire internal force cultivated by Wang Yu.

A master in his twenties, who cultivates both ice and fire, and can fuse ice and fire to the point of complete mastery, Yu Qinghou felt that the other party's talent might even surpass his own.

"You must already know about the dangers of cultivating ice and fire, so I don't need to advise you any further," Yu Qinghou said. "But the further you progress in cultivation, the more extreme the ice and fire internal energy becomes, and the easier it is for people to let their guard down. Don't let this lead you astray."

Wang Yu nodded, "Thank you for the reminder, senior."

Yu Qinghou said, "Among your peers, few can match your martial arts skills. Next month is the sword-fighting match between me and Yue Dongwu. Lu Jiong will be fighting against Yue Dongwu's first disciple, Wei Mantang."

He's lost for two years in a row, and I've taught him everything I can. Therefore, I'd like to ask Your Highness to give him a few pointers so he can apply what he's learned to other situations and increase his chances of winning this year.

Wang Yu pointed to himself, slightly bewildered, "Me?"

The sword duel between Yu Qinghou and Yue Dongwu was famous throughout the land. In fact, the sword duel between Meng Hanjiang of the Northern Double Swords Daoma Hall and Pei Jingfei of Taiheng Mountain was modeled after them.

In the last decade, as Yu Qinghou and Yue Dongwu's martial arts skills have improved, they have engaged in less and less direct combat, instead focusing on sword duels between their disciples.

However, Lu Jiong, the first disciple of Yu Qinghou, and Wei Mantang, the first disciple of Yue Dongwu, are both innate masters. There are very few people who can guide them, let alone who is qualified to guide the disciples of Daojun and Daohuang.

Yu Qinghou personally extended the invitation, which truly showed Wang Yu a great deal of face.

"Indeed," said Yu Qinghou. "I would like to invite Your Highness to travel to Jianghan, first to stay at Junshan for a few days, and then to Sanjiang Prefecture."

He watched as Lu Jiong and Wei Mantang competed in swordsmanship.

Wang Yu blinked. Of course, he had no doubt that Yu Qinghou was trying to lure him away from the mountains so that the Changsheng Army could join forces with the Zhennan Army to attack Liangchuan. If he really had this intention, he could have just killed him.

However, he also did not believe that Yu Qinghou was really going to let him give Lu Jiong pointers. He was not drunk yet. Even if he was better than Lu Jiong, if he could see the problems, wouldn't Yu Qinghou see them too?

Therefore, Yu Qinghou's invitation to attend the ceremonies at Junshan and Sanjiang Prefecture was certainly sincere, but the excuse was debatable and the purpose was unclear.

On the other side, Xiao Fumeng and Li Yunxiu sat down not far away.

"The princess consort achieved the highest rank in the imperial examination, reprimanding both civil and military officials, and her fame spread throughout the land." Xiao Fumeng held Li Yunxiu's hand. "After marrying the Prince of Zhenxi, she annihilated the Black Qiang, pacified the Northwest, and governed the three prefectures of the Northwest in an orderly manner. She is truly a woman who is no less capable than a man."

Xiao Fumeng truly admired her. Although she was now Yu Qinghou's beloved wife and had not ventured into the martial world for twenty years, she had once ventured into the martial world alone and was also a bold and magnanimous female knight-errant.

Li Yunxiu smiled and said, "Madam Yu, you are too kind. Your reputation in the martial arts world back then was so great that even the Sword Master could not suppress it."

Xiao Fumeng waved her hand, "You're too kind, Your Highness."

Although her reputation in the martial arts world was not weak, it was limited to the Jianghan region; how could she compare to Yu Qinghou?

Compare.

"Ruoying is my niece. She has been closest to me since childhood. Qinghou and I have no children of our own, so we regard Ruoying as our own daughter."

Xiao Fumeng said, "Ruoying is quite promising. She has been well-educated and polite since childhood, and her character is dignified. Although her martial arts skills are not strong, they are still acceptable."

Li Yunxiu smiled and said, "Madam, you are too kind. Ruoying is intelligent, bright, gentle and kind. We all like her very much."

Xiao Fumeng smiled as well, "However, she is too young and there are many things she doesn't understand. If Your Highness thinks she has decent aptitude, you can teach her more in the future."

Li Yunxiu replied, "Ruoying is well-read, and we get along very well."

Both women were intelligent and their words were loaded with meaning. Xiao Fumeng stood up for Xiao Ruoying, and Li Yunxiu accepted. Xiao Fumeng then suggested that Xiao Ruoying should get closer to Li Yunxiu in the future, and Li Yunxiu agreed.

Xiao Fumeng breathed a sigh of relief. Li Yunxiu was Wang Yu's rightful first wife and the most powerful woman in the Zhenxi Prince's Mansion. As long as she agreed, Xiao Ruoying and Wang Yu's relationship would be secure.
