The second match of the eighth-rank warrior competition began. A ninth-rank Jinyiwei walked up to Mu Nanjin and said, "Captain Mu, Lord Kan invites you to the viewing platform to watch the match."

"Okay." Mu Nanjin just wanted to find a place to sit down and rest, so he followed the Ninth Rank Jinyiwei to the viewing stand.

Kan Chaoyan's seat was deliberately arranged below the stage to the right of the emperor, so that anyone with internal strength could hear clearly what he said.

Mu Nanjin came to the viewing platform and saw Tian Yuan sitting behind the emperor.

[Wow, it's Tian Yuan. It's been a long time since I last saw you. You still look so jealous. ]

[Alas, my formation has been set up for several months, and it was destroyed by Jia Yin once. Why hasn't he come to assassinate me yet? Has he given up? But I don't see him giving up the mission. ]

Tian Yuan: “…”

He wanted to take action, but Mu Nanjin could see through all his actions, so how could he be so stupid as to let her catch him? So he had been observing and waiting, waiting for an opportunity to strike, just like now...

Tian Yuan quietly shot a restraining talisman at Mu Nanjin, which could restrain the opponent's movements and abilities.

Just as the talisman was about to hit the opponent, a defensive barrier popped out from his body to block it.

The talisman turned into a ball of fire the moment it touched the barrier, and then disappeared without a trace.

[Wow, Brother Tianyuan was so cunning to launch a sneak attack. Fortunately, I had foresight, otherwise I would have lost my life.]

Tian Yuan had already anticipated that his surprise attack might not succeed, so he calmly drank his tea and watched the game below.

"Mu girl, come sit next to me." Kan Chaoyan pulled out a chair next to her and said, "Just now I saw you defeat an eighth-grade warrior with one move. I think you are the best among eighth-grade warriors."

Mu Nanjin sat down and said, "It doesn't matter if you are first or not, but you must be in the top three."

Kan Chaoyan smiled and said, "You are really confident in yourself. Don't cry if you lose."

“I won’t lose.”

Kan Chaoyan asked again: "Then do you think Tang Jingrui can make it into the top ten?"

"As long as he doesn't meet me, he can make it into the top ten."

[I won't let him meet me. He shouldn't be eliminated because of me.]

Kan Chaoyan was relieved, and then asked tentatively: "Do you think Tang Jingrui is suitable to take over the post of governor of Licheng?"

"Suitable."

[Tang Jingrui is an upright person. It is a blessing for the people of Licheng to have him as the governor. The only pity is that his warrior rank is still a little short. Even if he is promoted to the eighth rank warrior now, he can't control the situation. ]

Kan Chaoyan thought so too.

Tang Jingrui participated in the martial arts competition because he wanted to go to Licheng to serve as the pacification envoy.

But Licheng is different from the capital. In the capital, no one dares to cause trouble because there are governors in charge. But in Licheng, it is easy for chaos to occur because there are no more advanced warriors to help.

Therefore, Licheng is more dangerous than the capital.

The reason why Lord Wei and Lord Pang were able to sit firmly in the position of pacification envoy was because they accepted bribes. They did not stand in the way of certain people, which is why there has been peace for many years.

The empress dowager, who was sitting on the other side of the emperor, saw that Kan Chaoyan and Mu Nanjin had almost finished their conversation, so she waved to Mu Nanjin and said, "Mu girl, come here and sit next to me."

This greeting not only made all the officials' families envious, but even the princesses were very jealous.

"The Queen Mother is calling you, go quickly." Kan Chaoyan patted the back of Mu Nanjin's chair.

Mu Nanjin stood up and walked in front of the Queen Mother: "Greetings, Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother smiled and asked her to sit down, and the palace maid brought a fruit plate and cakes and placed them in front of her.

"Little girl, you are so skilled at such a young age. You will surely become a warrior that everyone admires in the future."

Mu Nanjin said: "Your Majesty, you are too kind."

The more the queen mother looked at Mu Nanjin, the more satisfied she became: "Mu girl, you have reached the age of marriage. People of your age have to get married. Has your family arranged a marriage for you or do you have someone in mind?"

If it were any other girl, she would definitely not ask so bluntly, but Mu Nanjin's personality is different from others, and only by being more direct can she communicate better.

Mu Nanjin said: "No."

When the Queen Mother saw that she did not show any shyness, she knew that it was right for her to ask directly.

"Really? How did I hear that you like Captain Tang? If you really like him, I will grant you a marriage. I will make the decision for you, and no one can bully you."

Mu Nanjin shook his head: "I don't like it."

[Oh, even the Queen Mother thinks that I like Tang Jingrui. Should I take this opportunity to announce to everyone: I don’t like Tang Jingrui, I really don’t like him, and stop saying that I like him.]

The emperor, the empress dowager, and all civil and military officials: "..."

You don't need to announce it, they all know it.

Even Tang Jingrui, who was waiting for the duel in the eighth-grade martial arts arena, heard it.

Tang Jingrui held his forehead with his hand.

Since you don't like him, you shouldn't have pretended to like him and caused so many misunderstandings.

The Queen Mother couldn't help laughing: "If you don't like it, then don't like it. Then who do you like? I will arrange a marriage for you?"

Mu Nanjin: “…”

The Queen Mother pointed to the competition venue and the young men on the viewing platform and said, "Look at all the young talents here. There must be one who will catch your eye. If you like the prince, I will ask the emperor to grant us a marriage."

emperor:"……"

He doesn't dare to have a daughter-in-law who can ride on his head.

He was afraid that he would die within three days of his daughter-in-law marrying into the family.

The reason was that he was angry to death.

Civil and military officials: "..."

Mu Nanjin shook his head: "None of them meet my requirements."

The Queen Mother immediately became interested: "What do you want? Tell me now."

The emperor didn't even watch the competition, but pricked up his ears to eavesdrop.

Mu Nanjin said: "I have three requests."

The Queen Mother asked, "What three requests?"

"The first requirement is good looks."

[The other person must look as good as or better than the Imperial Master and Tian Yuan. ]

Queen Mother: “…”

This request alone would have repelled everyone.

"And the second one?"

"You need to have high martial arts skills."

[I don't ask him to be taller than me, but at least he can fight me to a draw. Otherwise, I'm afraid that when I get angry, I'll take it out on him and beat him to death.]

The Queen Mother was ashamed. To marry you, she would have to risk her life. The Emperor turned to Tian Yuan and whispered, "Mr. Tian Yuan, you meet these two requirements."

Tian Yuan: “…”

The Queen Mother asked, "Can you tell me specifically how high my martial arts skills must be?"

"Higher than the God of War."

The Queen Mother was somewhat speechless: "As far as I know, the God of War is the highest realm for warriors. There is no realm higher than the God of War."

These demands are too outrageous, it would be better to just say that you don’t want to get married.

[It’s not that there isn’t, it’s just that you don’t know it. ]

Everyone: “…”

The Queen Mother coughed lightly and said, "Tell me your third request."

The Emperor and the Queen Mother: "..."

Eunuch Shou behind the Queen Mother couldn't help but say, "Master Mu, there is no one in this world who is more noble than the Emperor."

Mu Nanjin took a sip of tea and said nothing.

Eunuch Shou thought she had nothing to refute, but he didn't know that she was saying shocking words in her heart.

[The status of an immortal is higher than that of an emperor. ]

The emperor, the empress dowager, and all civil and military officials: "..."

Immortal!? Are there really immortals in this world?

They couldn't help but think of the National Master. If there were no immortals, how could they explain the National Master's ability to call the wind and rain?

The emperor turned his head to look at Yan Tianyuan, who had a calm expression on his face, as if he was not surprised that there were immortals in the world.

The Queen Mother came back to her senses and smiled, "I see that you still don't want to get married, but you are too embarrassed to refuse my kindness, so I deliberately made such an outrageous request. Well, you are still young, it won't be too late to discuss marriage in two or three years. If you meet someone you like during this period, you will be eager to come to me for a marriage, and you won't care about any requirements."

Mu Nanjin nodded, agreeing with what she said next.

At this time, Princess Xueyu came over and said, "Grandmother, I have a crush on someone, why don't you grant me a marriage?"

The Queen Mother glared at her and said, "I don't have the ability to grant you a marriage with your beloved. Go find your father and see if he can grant you a marriage."

Since ancient times, the royal family has not been able to interfere in the affairs of the imperial teacher.

This is strange, because every country must have a national teacher, who will take the initiative to come to the country in the early days of its founding. Another national teacher will be replaced only when the country is defeated and the next country is established.

The national teacher is very important to the country, and the rise and fall of the country depends on whether the national teacher is strong or weak.

Once two countries officially go to war, the national master must go to the battlefield to fight against the national masters of other countries. If the national master of one side is defeated, then the country will undoubtedly be defeated as well. This has been an iron rule for thousands of years.

Therefore, the royal family did not dare to interfere in the affairs of the national teacher, and it has never been heard that any country's national teacher had married and had children with anyone.

Princess Xueyu looked at the smiling emperor but did not dare to step forward and ask for marriage.

Mu Nanjin looked at the beloved Princess Xueyu, was silent for a moment, and said: "The Imperial Master is already two hundred years old."

"Two, two hundred years old?" Princess Xueyu was amazed.

"Well, to you, the Imperial Master is an old man who can't be any older."

Princess Xueyu didn't believe that the young and handsome state teacher could be an old man: "Is it true? How did you know?"

Mu Nanjin lied to her and said, "Tian Yuan told me that he and the National Master came from the same place, and the National Master was someone Tian Yuan watched grow up."

Tian Yuan: “…”

Who would believe this?

"Tian Yuan?" Princess Xueyu remembered that Tian Yuan was the guard beside the emperor, and couldn't help but look at the person behind the emperor. His appearance was not inferior to that of the imperial teacher, which made her dazed, and the doubts in her heart were reduced a little.

"If you don't believe it, you can ask Tian Yuan."

After saying this, Mu Nanjin sent a message to Tian Yuan: "Cooperate with me, and I will not mind your sneak attack on me before."

Tian Yuan: “…”

Princess Xueyu asked Tianyuan, "Guardian Tianyuan, is what Mu Nanjin said true?"

Tian Yuan looked at Mu Nanjin and nodded: "Yes."

Princess Xueyu still refused to give up: "Then why do you still look so young?"

"We used a special method to maintain our appearance."

Then, everyone saw that Tian Yuan's appearance changed. Wrinkles gradually appeared on his smooth face, and his black hair gradually turned white. Finally, he turned into a white-haired old man with black spots and wrinkles all over his face.

Everyone around was stunned.

Tian Yuan asked the princess: "The Imperial Master's original appearance is as old as I am now. Do you still like him?"

Princess Xueyu took a few steps back in disbelief. She whimpered, covered her face with her hands, and ran away crying, unable to accept it.

〖Wow, I want to cry too. I just asked you to cooperate, not to cooperate like this. Your old appearance now really insults the image in my mind. Give me back my handsome Tianyuan.〗

Tian Yuan glared at her angrily.

〖Change back soon.〗

Tian Yuan did not change back, and deliberately used the appearance of an old man to provoke her.

〖Change back quickly, change back quickly.〗

Tian Yuan: "I just like this look."

Mu Nanjin took a deep breath and turned her head away, no longer looking at him.

Tian Yuan curled his lips.

The Queen Mother looked around and confirmed that Princess Xuezhu had really gone far away, then she whispered to Mu Nanjin, "Is the Imperial Master really that old?"

Mu Nanjin nodded: "The Imperial Master is indeed two hundred years old, but his appearance does not look as old as Tian Yuan. Please forgive me, Queen Mother, for lying to the princess. I lied to her because I thought it was impossible for her and the Imperial Master to be together."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "You did a good job. Xueyu should have given up long ago, otherwise she would have waited her whole life without getting married."

Mu Nanjin also didn't want Princess Xueyu to be delayed.

"Mother."

A gentle voice came from the audience.

Eunuch Shou smiled slightly and said, "Queen Dowager, it's the eldest princess who has arrived."

The Queen Mother smiled widely, "Feng Yu is here, let her come up quickly."

Eunuch Shou went to invite the eldest princess.

The eldest princess brought her daughter, Princess Rongyue, to the viewing platform and bowed to the queen mother: "Your son greets you, mother."

Princess Rongyue also followed suit and saluted: "Rongyue greets the Royal Grandmother."

Mu Nanjin stood up and saluted them: "Greetings to the eldest princess, Princess Rongyue."

Princess Rongyue recognized Mu Nanjin, and anger welled up on her beautiful face: "Mother, she was the one who said that I am not as pretty as the courtesan. It's really too much. She dared to compare me with those prostitutes."

The Queen Mother looked at Mu Nanjin, then at Princess Rongyue, and asked, "What's going on?"

"The little girl may not have meant it, so don't be angry." After the princess comforted Princess Rongyue, she looked at Mu Nanjin, who was wearing the Feiyu suit, and said, "Mother, is this the first female official of our dynasty?"

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Yes, I felt that I had a good relationship with Mu Yatou, so I asked her to come up and watch the game together."

The eldest princess asked again: "I heard that it was her credit that my mother regained her youth."

"Yes."

The eldest princess' eyes lit up: "Then I really have to thank Lord Mu for his medicine, which saved my mother from all kinds of pain and suffering."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "It is indeed thanks to Mu Yatou's medicine, otherwise my old bones would not be able to support me sitting here and watching the martial arts competition."

The princess turned to Princess Rongyue and said, "Lord Mu is your royal grandmother's benefactor. You must get along well with Lord Mu in the future."

"Can……"

Princess Rongyue shuddered at the princess' gentle smile and changed her words, "Mother, I understand. I will get along well with Master Mu."

【well--】

Mu Nanjin sighed inwardly.

The emperor and all the civil and military officials quickly pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.
