Li Xiang was very glad that he could become Lu Chen's disciple. As a prince, and a prince who lost his mother at a young age, Li Xiang had never felt safe.
When he was in the palace, he didn't dare to sleep alone every night if Zheng Xiurong was not with him.
After leaving the palace, Zheng Xiurong had his own things to do, and since he was already eight years old, he began to try to rest in his own room.
But during that period, he couldn't sleep all night and his mental state was very bad.
After Lu Chen realized this, from that day on, he would tell Li Xiang stories at night until Li Xiang fell asleep.
For Li Xiang, although Li Zhuo is his father, the emperor is busy with many affairs every day, and even if he is his own son, he cannot see him just like that.
So in Li Xiang's young heart, the man who truly gave him a sense of security and protected him like a mountain was actually Lu Chen.
It is said that Master, Master, once a teacher, always a father.
Li Xiang felt that although Lu Chen liked to joke around on weekdays, he was truly a perfect master in this matter.
If she hadn't met Lu Chen, Li Xiang couldn't imagine what her future would be like.
He might be killed without realizing it, or be liquidated by one of his brothers.
Even if he managed to survive, he was certain that the rest of his life would be miserable and he would be a terrible person.
However, ever since Lu Chen appeared in front of him, all of this was no longer true. Lu Chen changed his future. Lu Chen made him a leader among his peers and made him a proud man.
This pride does not come from bloodline, but from an understanding of the world, just as the Confucianists said, "A man of culture is naturally elegant."
Even though he is only eight years old this year, Li Xiang knows very well that with Lu Chen around, even if he doesn't sit on the throne in the future, he will become a very great person.
Thinking of this, Li Xiang couldn't help but smile and said, "Master once told me a story called Journey to the West. In the story, the protagonist traveled through mountains and rivers to a place called Chechi Kingdom. There were also three national masters in Chechi Kingdom, and they wanted to fight with the protagonist."
"Guess what they were competing for? Forget it, you won't be able to guess, so I'll just tell you straight up. They were competing to chop off a head and have it grow back, dig out a heart and put it back in, and jump into a frying pan and take a bath!"
"Since both of you claim to have extraordinary abilities, why not compare these three things and see who has the higher Dao skills?"
ah?
ah!
Gondor and Yangxuzi were dumbfounded. Is this such a big deal?
The two thought that Li Xiang's questions were also those of the puzzle type, but they didn't expect that they would be so embarrassing.
The corner of Yangxuzi's mouth twitched. He originally thought that Li Xiang really wanted to show goodwill to him, but he didn't expect that this guy was actually waiting for him in this place. He was so mean!
Yangxuzi can chop off heads, but can he throw them into a frying pan? What can he do?
If he really had this ability, why would he still need to stay in the court of the Great Qi Dynasty? Wouldn't he have ascended to heaven in broad daylight?
If his old bones were really thrown into the frying pan, it is not certain how much oil would be left in the end.
So he quickly waved his hand and said, "Little Prince, you're joking. This is just a friendly exchange between our two countries. There's no need to make such a scene, right? Isn't that right, Master of Gondor?"
As he said this, Yangxuzi looked at Gondor. He still didn't believe it. How could Gondor dare to agree to such a request for a competition?
Sure enough, the corners of Gondor's mouth twitched wildly. After hearing this, he gritted his teeth and said, "I also think that there is no need for our two countries to be so tense in friendly exchanges. However, as the saying goes, the guest should follow the host's wishes. If the little prince insists on this competition, I am willing to give it a try. Of course, your country must come first!"
After all, Gondor didn't believe that Li Xiang or Yangxuzi would dare to do this first.
That's like being thrown into a frying pan. Are you kidding me? Do you think you're too old?
But just when both of them thought Li Xiang would change the subject, Li Xiang laughed and said, "Okay, then I'll set an example for the Gondor State Master first. Come on, set up the frying pan!"
What the hell!?
Gondor and Yangxuzi's eyes widened. Hey, buddy, are you serious?
There's no need for that. You're just trying to make a living. Why are you risking your life for that?
Under the astonished gaze of the two men, a wok of oil was soon brought up and firewood was set up.
Not long after the fire was lit, thick smoke began to billow out of the oil pan, and bubbles kept surging on the surface of the oil. It was obvious that the temperature was quite high, and Gondor was so scared that he took two steps back.
Li Xiang walked forward with a smile, took out a copper coin from her pocket and threw it into the oil pan, saying, "It's not very decent for us to take off our clothes and jump into the oil pan in front of so many people. Why don't we just fish out the copper coins instead?"
No, is this an indecent question? He's going to die, and you're still talking about indecent things!
Gondor looked at Li Xiang with horror, wondering if there were any decent people left in Da Qi. Was there no one to take care of this prince?
You just let him do this?
You must be trying to scare me. In the end, someone will definitely jump out to stop Li Xiang, right?
However, things did not turn out as Gondor had expected. He just watched Li Xiang roll up her sleeves and plunge her arm directly into the frying pan.
Li Xiang even stirred the oil pan twice before she fished out a copper coin.
Holding the copper coin, Li Xiang chuckled and said, "How is it, Master Gondor? Do you want to check it out?"
We need to check! Of course we need to check! This must be some kind of scam, just like the tricks he used to deceive people in Liao and Jin.
The people who least believe in the existence of supernatural powers in this world are actually this bunch of charlatans.
To put it bluntly, all magical phenomena must have flaws and are man-made.
Gondor rushed to Li Xiang in three or two steps. He grabbed the copper coin in Li Xiang's hand and looked at it. He frowned as he felt the temperature of the copper coin, then grabbed Li Xiang's arm and looked him up and down.
Li Xiang is worthy of being a prince. His arm is so white and tender. The whole arm is intact. Except for some oil, there is no sign of burns.
So, the oil was real, and Li Xiang did put her hand in the pot, right? But why was the temperature of the copper coin wrong? Could it be that the oil wasn't actually that hot? Could this be a game of the brave?
Thinking of this, Gondor gritted his teeth and threw the copper coin back into the iron pot.
He came here without caring about his life or death this time, so why would he be afraid of this?
Thinking of this, he rolled up his sleeves and put his arms into the frying pan.
Sizzle!
"ah!"
