Imperial Master Huangpu snorted coldly, "Young man, lying is not a good behavior, especially when facing a strong man!"
"Senior, thank you for taking action just now." Xia Yu thanked him and then said, "Senior, I didn't lie. I can swear that I don't have any heaven-level skills!"
Obviously, Huangpu Imperial Master did not trust Xia Yu. He raised his hand and took out a wooden fish-like treasure and sneered, "This is made of the wood of mind. It will change color when someone lies. If you dare to put your hand on it and answer
If you have any questions, I will believe you."
"Why don't you dare?" Xia Yu put a palm on the wooden fish without hesitation.
"Do you have any heaven-level skills?"
"No."
"Do you have heaven-level combat skills?"
"No."
"Do you have any earth-level skills?"
"No."
"Do you have earth-level combat skills?"
"No."
To the surprise of everyone present, Xia Yu's answers were all negative. Xinyi Mu would change color when encountering lies, but there was no change at all at this moment. It was obvious that Xia Yu did not lie.
Imperial Master Huangpu was also surprised. He stared and asked, "Then where do the various techniques you practice come from?"
This time the question is a bit difficult.
In fact, Xia Yu's martial arts and combat skills are all at the emperor level, so he certainly doesn't need to lie when answering questions.
But now the question...
Xia Yu thought for a moment and said, "Master Huangpu, to tell you the truth, the martial arts and combat skills I practice were taught by my master, and they are definitely not heaven-level or earth-level! Moreover, the skills taught by my master,
Forbid me to spread the word. It’s not an ordinary ban, but even if I want to say it, I can’t do it. I wonder if the Imperial Master understands what I mean?”
Imperial Master Huangpu looked at the wooden fish that had not changed color, nodded and said, "I understand, your master has sealed the contents of the exercises and combat skills!"
"That's pretty much what it means."
Xia Yu didn't lie either.
The beauty master used a very strange method of teaching, and he couldn't teach it even if he really wanted to. Those who coveted it, even if they captured Xia Yu alive and tortured him, they still couldn't get it.
"I believe you." Imperial Master Huangpu took back the wooden fish.
In fact, many powerful sects only teach people recognized by the sect, and it is normal to seal the contents, in order to prevent the practice from being spread outside.
He himself was like this, so he didn't doubt it.
His face looked much better and he asked, "May I ask what your master is called? He should be a powerful senior."
"It is indeed very powerful." Xia Yu said, "But my master is also very mysterious. I don't even know her name. She said that only when my cultivation reaches a certain level can I be qualified to see her."
His words were half true and half false, but Imperial Master Huangpu firmly believed that in this world of cultivation, all kinds of bizarre things would happen, and what Xia Yu said was not unusual.
"Your master must be a big shot. Judging from your skills, I can see that although they are neither heaven-level skills nor earth-level skills, they are some kind of magical method of transforming the outside world.
, you have to practice hard."
It seemed that Imperial Master Huangpu did not want to steal Xia Yu's martial arts skills, which made Xia Yu breathe a sigh of relief.
Otherwise, a strong person in the Changhe Realm would really not be able to fool him.
After Imperial Master Huangpu finished speaking, the Ninth Prince smiled and said, "Xia Yu, it seems that your qualifications are one of ten thousand, otherwise such a strong person would not teach you the skills."
Xia Yu said modestly, "No, I'm just a little more diligent."
After saying that, he clasped his fists and thanked, "I would like to thank His Highness the Ninth Prince and the Huangpu Imperial Master for traveling thousands of miles to come to my rescue. I will keep this in my heart and never forget it."
In any case, Imperial Master Huangpu and the Ninth Prince were much more polite. They did not force Xia Yu to take action, nor did they directly ask for martial arts and combat skills. It was obvious that they were both reasonable people.
Xia Yu is sincerely grateful.
The Ninth Prince smiled and said, "My favorite thing to do is to get to know the world's spiritual geniuses. I am so happy to meet you. Xia Yu, you can walk on the sword and refine your life spirit at the Spiritual Spring Realm."
Bao, you are the person I am looking for!"
Xia Yu was embarrassed. This Ninth Prince spoke too straightforwardly and was full of sexual feelings. It was a pity that his orientation in some aspects was normal, so he could not offer chrysanthemums.
"Your Highness is overly complimentary. It's a pity that I'm only interested in people of different genders." Xia Yu made a random joke.
The Ninth Prince didn't understand what gender meant, so he waved his hand and said, "What's a pity or a pity? From now on, you will join the Ninth Prince's Mansion of the Great Zhou Dynasty and be a spiritual spring worshipper first."
Obviously, the Ninth Prince loves talents.
The Great Zhou Dynasty was similar to the feudal dynasties that Xia Yu knew. The emperor was ignorant, the princes were seizing the legitimate sons, and the ninth prince was also a person with great ambitions. Of course, his subordinates had to recruit some strong and dead soldiers.
These people usually eat, drink, and practice in the Prince's Mansion, and when encountering situations, they will come forward and help the Ninth Prince with some things.
In the final fight for imperial power, the role of these cultivated practitioners far exceeds that of ordinary soldiers.
The Ninth Prince traveled thousands of miles to arrive with Huangpu Imperial Master, just to take this young genius into his own hands, train him well, and help him compete for the throne of emperor in the future.
Although Xia Yu didn't understand the situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he had watched too many TV series like Earth and knew what the Ninth Prince meant when he heard him speak.
But Xia Yu didn't want to surrender.
Those TV shows clearly show that the fight for the emperor's family is the most cruel, and most people are afraid to avoid it, no one is willing to get involved.
If you get involved in the fight to seize your direct descendants, you will end up with a narrow escape!
Xia Yu quickly refused and said, "Your Highness, the Ninth Prince, I, Xia Yu, am a country person. I just want to stay in this broken mine at home and live a stable life. I don't want to go to the capital because I won't be able to adapt."
Hearing what he said, Imperial Master Huangpu's face suddenly turned angry. He glared at Lord Liu and said, "You said you found a young genius for Lao Jiu, so we traveled thousands of miles and braved the wind and snow to come here! The result turned out to be like this.
, Liu Dongxu deceived His Highness, do you know the crime?"
City Lord Liu was caught off guard and said hurriedly, "No, I didn't lie to His Highness. The situation was urgent..."
"Don't deceive Your Highness even if the situation is urgent. You deserve death!"
City Lord Liu was immediately frightened and fell to his knees.
Xia Yu knew clearly that Imperial Master Huangpu was acting, but he had to say something. Lord Liu City asked someone to help, which was a kind intention, and Xia Yu did not refuse at the time.
Now people have been invited and they have helped to kill the enemy, but you want to refuse to admit your guilt and cross the river and burn the bridge.
"National Preceptor." Xia Yu said, "Don't punish City Master Liu. He does have good intentions, but he didn't expect His Highness and the Imperial Preceptor to arrive in person. So..."
Xia Yu thought for a moment and said, "I am extremely grateful to Your Highness and the National Preceptor for their help. Although I do not want to join the Prince's Mansion, I owe His Highness a favor. When my assistance is needed in the future, I will be obliged to do so!"
However, his promise did not satisfy Huangpu Imperial Master.
He snorted coldly, "Young man, are you so generous with favors? Do you think you can change the world with just one move? If you want to take action, it's better for me to take action myself!"
Xia Yu smiled bitterly and said, "If you say so, then I have nothing to say. The Imperial Master does not want me to take action, so what do you want?"
"I want you to be loyal to the Ninth Prince!" When Imperial Master Huangpu spoke, the aura of the Changhe realm was suddenly released, and everyone present was suppressed. It can be said that the color of the world changed, and the situation was turbulent.
But at this moment, Yunzhu walked out and saluted, "Yunzhu has met the National Preceptor."
Huangpu Imperial Master had not noticed this ordinary woman before, but when he saw it now, he was surprised and said, "Are you that Yunzhu?"
Yunzhu nodded and said, "It's the same Yunzhu from back then."
She was a famous member of the female branch of the capital at that time, and had met many people, so she naturally knew Huangpu Imperial Master.
Imperial Master Huangpu sighed, "I didn't expect that after so many years, the courtesan's style remains the same, and your song "Neon Clothes and Feathers" is still talked about today."
Although Yunzhu is not a practitioner, her piano skills are unparalleled in the world. It is said that the piano can connect the mind. Even among practitioners, there are many who like music.
"I haven't played for many years, and I have even forgotten the fingering technique." Yunzhu lowered his head and sighed, and then said, "Please let my son go, Master."
