"Thank you for your mercy, Uncle Liu."
Xiao Yu, being very shrewd, quickly said, "Aoxue, Uncle Liu was just testing my strength; he wouldn't really hurt me."
"good."
Liu Jingtao nodded in satisfaction, his gaze sweeping over the courtyard, which was in complete disarray.
In just a few seconds of fighting, dozens of stone slabs were crushed, branches and fallen leaves littered the ground, and even several sections of the courtyard wall were knocked down.
Moreover, this was only because Liu Jingtao was consciously controlling it... Otherwise, the entire Liu residence would have been demolished.
"master!"
Seeing that the two had stopped fighting, the steward cautiously led a few servants over to tidy up the courtyard.
"I never imagined that Juro would actually be a Grandmaster!"
Once she was certain her father wouldn't interfere anymore, Liu Aoxue focused her attention on Xiao Yu's cultivation level, asking in surprise, "When did you become a Grandmaster?"
"I don't know either..."
Xiao Yu truly didn't know that when he transmigrated, he was already a Grandmaster.
"Fool!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Aoxue found it both amusing and infuriating.
If Xiao Yu had shown his Grandmaster skills earlier, Chu Tianjiao definitely wouldn't have come to break off the engagement... But it's good, it gave me a chance to take advantage of the situation.
At only twenty years old, he is already a grandmaster. Such martial arts talent is rare, perhaps only once every two hundred years!
This is like finding a treasure!
Liu Jingtao shared the same idea. As the dean of the martial arts academy, he had seen countless martial arts geniuses.
But compared to Xiao Yu, those young prodigies are completely insignificant.
At that moment, Liu Jingtao had the idea of taking him as a disciple, but he did not show it immediately. Instead, he probed, "Xiao Yu, did you use all your strength just now?"
"Of course..." Xiao Yu answered in his heart!
However, realizing that Liu Jingtao wanted to probe his strength, he changed his mind before speaking and said, "I probably used about 70 or 80% of my strength!"
I dare not boast too much, what if Liu Jingtao gets itchy again?
"Seventy or eighty percent?"
Liu Jingtao's old face visibly stiffened. He had only used seventy or eighty percent of his strength, yet he still managed to fight Xiao Yu to a draw!
Now Xiao Yu is telling him that he also used 70-80% of his strength... Doesn't that mean that even if the two of them used their full strength, it would still be a draw?!
Even a grandmaster has the advantage of youth in martial arts. When their energy levels are similar, it is clear that the twenty-year-old Xiao Yu has more stamina!
Hiss... The more Liu Jingtao thought about it, the more alarmed he became. He gasped and stared at Xiao Yu as if he were looking at a monster.
"Uncle Liu, what's wrong?"
Xiao Yu guiltily withdrew his hand; his fist still hurt, and he was really afraid that the old man would not be able to resist hitting him again.
"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young."
Liu Jingtao nodded in satisfaction, then boasted to himself, "I only used less than 70% of my strength just now. Xiao Yu, would you be willing to become my disciple?"
I'll only be your son-in-law!
Or, become his apprentice and son-in-law!
Just as Xiao Yu was pondering how to broach the subject, Liu Aoxue couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "Father, you've agreed to take me as your disciple?"
Given Liu Jingtao's strength and status, countless wealthy and powerful young men wanted to become his disciples, but Liu Jingtao refused them all.
The martial arts academy has disciples all over the world, but Liu Jingtao has never taken on a single disciple.
The fact that he took the initiative to ask Xiao Yu to become his disciple is enough to show how much he values Xiao Yu!
"It's not impossible for me to become your apprentice, but... I'm willing to call you father!"
Xiao Yu spoke tentatively, preparing himself for a beating as he secretly circulated his internal energy.
"..."
Liu Jingtao remained silent and did not speak.
He was contemplating whether or not to marry his daughter to Xiao Yu!
Previously, we didn't know that Xiao Yu had such high talent. Now that we do, there's no reason to turn away such a fine gem!
A genius who can become a grandmaster at the age of twenty and fight on par with me—if I could train him for a few years, his future path in martial arts would be limitless!
Liu Jingtao knew very well that Xiao Yu would definitely surpass him in the future... and that day might not be too far away.
"His martial arts talent is terrifying, and he's not an idiot; he can even write poetry."
Liu Jingtao had also heard his daughter say that Xiao Yu had become intelligent and was no longer as foolish as before. Now he was certain that his daughter was not lying.
Thinking about it, Liu Jingtao secretly glanced at himself.
A daughter is like a tree that grows up and cannot be kept at home... After their exchange, Liu Aoxue became even more affectionate towards Xiao Yu, her beautiful eyes filled not only with liking but also with admiration.
Just as men love beautiful women, a handsome prince like Xiao Yu, who is also good at writing poetry and has high martial arts talent, is not lacking in women's affections.
"Dragon Sword!"
Finally, Liu Jingtao's gaze fell on the Youlong Sword in his daughter's hand.
He remembered clearly that the Dragon Sword eventually fell into the hands of the royal family... How did it end up in Xiao Yu's hands now?
He was so focused on admiring the sword that he hadn't had a chance to ask Xiao Yu anything.
"Xiao Yu, where did you get this Dragon Sword?" Liu Jingtao asked curiously.
"It was obtained in exchange for a poem."
Xiao Yu recounted the story of composing poetry at the Jade Liquid Pavilion, and then asked, "Father, do you know of any powerful families in the capital with the surname Zhen?"
"puff!!"
Liu Jingtao was listening to a story when suddenly he had a son... well, a son-in-law is also a son.
He hadn't made a decision yet. He glared at Xiao Yu and said coldly, "You should call me Master first."
"Okay, Uncle Liu."
Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Uncle Liu, do you know which powerful family in the capital has the surname Zhen?"
That bastard won't act until he sees the benefit!
Liu Jingtao cursed inwardly, knowing that if he didn't marry his daughter to him, he could forget about taking this disciple as a disciple...
Seeing her father's ashen face, Liu Aoxue remained silent, covering her mouth to suppress her laughter.
"I've never heard of it."
Liu Jingtao had already guessed her identity, but just to be on the safe side, he still asked, "What does that Miss Zhen look like?"
"I don't know, I have face blindness, I didn't pay much attention."
Xiao Yu said righteously, "Aside from Ao Xue, I rarely pay attention to what other women look like!"
"You bastard!"
Liu Jingtao couldn't help but curse, then said seriously, "Think about it carefully, this matter is very important."
Seeing Liu Jingtao's serious expression, Xiao Yu stopped joking and began to speak earnestly: "She can only be described with four words: peerless beauty!"
Then, a description of Zhen Ruohua's appearance was given...
The more Liu Jingtao listened, the more serious his expression became.
Liu Aoxue frowned slightly, a little jealous, and said unconvinced, "Are there really women this beautiful? And with such an elegant demeanor?"
"...The female master beside her, Jing'er, seems cold and aloof, as if she doesn't want to be approached, but she obeys Miss Zhen's every word!"
Xiao Yu ignored Liu Aoxue's words and described the female swordsman's appearance again.
"Yes, yes, that's her!"
Liu Jingtao took a deep breath and said, "Xiao Yu, this is your good fortune, and also the good fortune of the Xiao Royal Family!"
