Zu'an had no doubts, after all, Mi Li's powerful aura and invincible figure in the underground palace had been deeply imprinted in his mind, and in his opinion, this was only natural.
"I'll try again."
His competitive spirit resurfaced, so he calmed himself down and started practicing the movement technique again.
Unfortunately, he tried several times, but every time he tried to conjure a third figure, his aura would become chaotic, and he would trip and fall to the ground in a very embarrassing manner.
After finally getting up from the ground, he sighed, "It seems I really can't compare to my sister, the Empress. Sigh, I will definitely practice harder in the future and strive to achieve the same four figures as my sister did back then."
"Actually, you're doing pretty well. With more practice, you'll gradually get better," Mi Li comforted him with the air of a wise senior, though inwardly she was filled with admiration.
The superior talent truly lives up to its legendary status; not only does its essence and blood possess extraordinary effects, but it also allows it to learn things far beyond that of ordinary people.
You have to know that her talent is exceptional. Back then, she had already amazed countless people by learning two different techniques in a month. But this prodigy actually learned it after hearing it only once.
Comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable.
However, seeing his dejected expression, Mi Li was worried that he had been misled by her and that his mentality had become problematic, leading him to go astray. So she hurriedly tried to comfort him.
Zu'an was slightly relieved: "By the way, Empress, what is the name of your movement technique?"
Mi Li shook her head: "It's no good for you to know too many things too early. I'll tell you when you can conjure nine figures at once in the future. Now that it's combined with your Sunflower Illusion, you can continue to call it Sunflower Illusion."
"Alright." Zuan was a little disappointed. After all, the word "sunflower" made him feel uneasy. Just thinking about Old Man Mi's appearance made him uncomfortable. The beautiful empress's movements were much more attractive.
Sigh, I'm such a sucker for good looks. Old Man Mi was actually quite nice to me, even though his motives were a bit strange...
"Knock knock knock, knock knock knock~"
A series of knocks came from the door.
"Young master, young master, the master has invited the divine physician Ji!" Cheng Shouping's unique voice rang out.
“I’m going into hibernation now, and I probably won’t wake up for a while. The poison of ‘Xiangfei Red Tears’ has already affected my soul, and I need to focus on neutralizing it.” Mi Li gave him a deep look with her phoenix eyes. “Remember, to become a strong person, never subconsciously rely on others. You must face and solve all difficulties and dangers on your own.”
"When can we see each other again?" Zuan complained that since she needed to detoxify, why did she waste a whole night watching the show? But the thought of not seeing her for a long time made him quite reluctant to part with her.
"It's hard to say, maybe a few months, maybe a few years." Mi Li's originally sharp phoenix eyes softened a bit. "You must be careful during this time. As long as you don't do anything reckless, with the movement techniques I taught you, you should be more than capable of protecting yourself."
"Hahaha, am I the kind of person who would court death?" Zuan patted his chest and assured him.
Mi Li: "..."
Why do I feel that what this guy is saying is completely unreliable?
"I hope you keep your word, otherwise you'll be dead along with your unborn child."
Mi Li gave a soft hum, and with a flash of light, she disappeared into the Tai'a Sword.
"Young master, young master~" Cheng Shouping's knocking on the door grew louder and louder.
Zuan put away the Tai'a sword, opened the door, and a figure stumbled into his arms.
Zu An pressed his hand down on Cheng Shouping's head, which was topped with two char siu bun-shaped hair buns, and said warily, "Don't touch me!"
"Oh~" Cheng Shouping stood to the side, looking somewhat aggrieved. "Young Master, don't you love me anymore?"
Zuan: "..."
"Don't talk to me like that submissive guy. I'm a straight man, no doubt about it," Zu An said, his face growing increasingly grim. "You wouldn't happen to be lusting after my body, would you?"
Cheng Shouping said with a grin, "It's just a pity that I'm not a girl, otherwise I would definitely come to warm the bed for my son-in-law every day."
Seeing his fawning expression, Zu An snorted: "What are you doing here so early in the morning, yelling like you're wailing? What does Ji Dengtu's arrival have to do with me?"
Cheng Shouping leaned closer and said in a low voice, "Why don't you go and see Miss to show your concern? After all, Miss is the master and mistress's most beloved daughter. You should at least make a gesture. Maybe in the future, if the master and mistress are happy, they will betroth Miss to you."
Zuan couldn't help but sigh, "Having a servant like you is truly a great fortune for the Chu family."
"You flatter me, son-in-law." Cheng Shouping rubbed his hands together, looking pleased with himself.
Despite his complaints, Zu An felt it was only right and proper for him to go and check on Chu Chuyan. Although he knew that as long as Chu Chuyan received acupuncture every day, she would be fine, the Chu couple didn't know that.
In particular, Qin Wanru has always disliked me, and if I don't go over, he will inevitably use this as an excuse to make trouble.
Zu An arrived at the courtyard where Chu Chuyan's boudoir was located. After the turmoil last night, the guards along the way were much tighter than before.
Of course, there were no guards in the courtyard where Chu Chuyan was, which clearly showed that the Chu couple still did not want Chu Chuyan's affairs to be exposed.
From afar, several people could be seen gathered around the entrance. One of them had dark circles under his eyes that made him look like the time management master Luo Moumou, while the other was plump and extremely wealthy. They were none other than Chu Tiesheng from the second branch of the Chu family and Chu Yuepo from the third branch.
"Greetings, Second Uncle and Third Uncle~" Zu An cupped his hands in greeting. Although these two had taken advantage of his misfortune in the ancestral hall last time, he still had to maintain the proper etiquette on the surface.
