After Mu Xi's men and Qiu Ya's four maids each selected a long sword, Mu Xi said to Chu Fan with curiosity and admiration: "Your Majesty, what kind of swordsmanship did you just demonstrate?
Although seemingly weak and powerless, it contains unfathomable murderous intent. Every move and every form is extremely precise, and the sword's restrained power is astonishing. "
Chu Fan smiled slightly and responded modestly: "Mu Xi, you are exaggerating a bit. What I used just now was just an ordinary sword technique, not as mysterious as you said."
Deep down, Chu Fan knew that the sword technique he was practicing today was actually the Tai Chi sword technique widely known on Blue Star. He had learned this sword technique from an old man practicing swordsmanship in the park while delivering food.
Since Chu Fan traveled to this world, he found that his memory seemed to have improved significantly. He could clearly recall the knowledge in the videos or books he had watched on Blue Star in the past.
Just like the salt-making method and papermaking technique he had mastered before, these were all things he had accidentally learned while watching short videos. Normally, no matter how hard one studied, it would be impossible to remember everything, let alone easily produce a finished product, but Chu Fan had done it.
There are also the novel stories from Blue Star that Chu Fan told Mu Xi and others. If he were on Blue Star, he would definitely not be able to remember them so completely, but when he was telling stories to Mu Xi and others to pass the time, he was able to repeat them word for word. This may be the unique benefit of time travelers.
Chu Fan couldn't help but wonder, how many people could still recite the complete "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng"? As for why the "Swordsman" he'd given his Third Uncle seemed so disorganized, it was because Chu Fan had done it on purpose. If he'd written it down according to the original plot, it would have been too fictional, and wouldn't have been able to fool his Third Uncle and the royal family.
However, it was this seemingly disorganized copy of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer that unexpectedly sparked the interest of Third Uncle and the royal family. They copied the copy Chu Fan gave them exactly as he had written it onto a large white sheet of paper, and Chu Fan's seemingly chaotic details only made them more engaged, as if they were solving a puzzle.
This also inspired the members of the royal family to create many unique skills and martial arts from the novel The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.
Chu Fan also learned the Tai Chi sword technique by accident while delivering food. After just one look, Chu Fan was able to perform the entire sword technique skillfully.
Mu Xi and the others naturally didn't believe Chu Fan's answer. After all, Chu Fan always brought out something extraordinary, so how could the sword technique His Majesty used be just an ordinary sword technique?
At this time, Changsun Pinting hugged Chu Fan's arm and said coquettishly: "Brother Chu Fan, the sword technique you just performed was really beautiful. Can you teach me? I also want to learn this kind of elegant and powerful sword technique. Maybe I can protect you in the future!"
Changsun Pinting had been following Chu Fan since before he became emperor, calling him Brother Chu Fan, just like Chu Fan's little tail.
As Chu Fan grew older, his playmates gradually drifted apart, leaving only Changsun Pinting by his side. This is why Chu Fan's memories of Changsun Pinting were so vivid after he traveled through time.
Mu Xie also spoke up at this time: "Your Majesty, please don't be so modest. Your swordsmanship is unfathomable. We have all seen it. Your Majesty, please teach us."
After Mu Xi finished speaking, he led everyone around him, their eyes filled with anticipation. Chu Fan knew he couldn't refuse any longer, so he smiled and nodded in agreement. After all, this sword technique had a physical strengthening effect when practiced on Blue Star, so teaching it to them wouldn't be a bad idea; it wouldn't do them any harm anyway.
Chu Fan said, "Since you all want to learn so much, then follow my posture step by step and pay attention to the coordination of breathing and body movements."
Chu Fan slowly raised his sword, the tip gleaming coldly in the sunlight. It was only when Mu Xi and the others followed Chu Fan in his sword dance that they truly grasped the essence of this sword technique: it was both gentle and powerful, and could be practiced by both men and women. Mu Xi and the others diligently practiced with Chu Fan, striving to quickly master the essence of this sword technique.
In this way, Chu Fan, Mu Xi and others spent a fulfilling and enjoyable day in the palace.
However, outside the palace, members of the royal family, eunuchs, and palace maids had already begun preparing for the Wei Kingdom's recruitment of palace maids this year. Meanwhile, the Royal Elegant Villa had completed its final decoration, awaiting Chu Fan's inspection.
When Chu Fan learned from Chu Anping of the Royal Government Affairs Office that the Royal Elegant Villa had been completed, he began to consider who in the royal family should be assigned to manage the villa. After all, it was impossible for him to manage such a large villa personally.
After careful consideration, Chu Fan decided to hand this important task over to the ancestors of the royal family. At the same time, due to the existence of the Tengwang Pavilion, Chuitai Mountain also needed to be guarded by a prince named Tengwang, otherwise Tengwang Pavilion would be just a pavilion in name only.
Chu Fan summoned his third uncle to the palace and said solemnly, "Third uncle, both Yuya Villa and Tengwang Pavilion need capable people to manage them. When you return to the clan, consult with the ancestors and select three candidates. I need one of them to be responsible for the overall operation of the villa, one to be responsible for currency exchange within the villa, and another to be responsible for the daily maintenance and security of Tengwang Pavilion."
"Third Uncle must strictly screen these three candidates to ensure they are both capable and loyal. Once the candidates are confirmed, report them immediately and I will personally review them. This matter concerns the reputation of the royal family and the future of the villa. There can be no slackness."
The reason Chu Fan attached so much importance to the selection of candidates was because he had spent a lot of money to build this villa. Moreover, Chu Fan also hoped that this villa could earn him more money, so that after completing the mission, he would have enough funds to return to Blue Star and live a prosperous life.
Seeing how seriously Chu Fan took this matter, Third Uncle also felt that it was of great importance, so he nodded carefully and agreed: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will do my best to select the right person and strictly screen them to ensure that they are correct."
Chu Fan said, "Then I'll have to trouble Third Uncle."
However, what Chu Fan didn't know was that his decision had sparked a fierce debate among the ancestors of the royal family. Because Chu Fan's preface to the Tengwang Pavilion had spread among the royal family, and now the ancestors knew that Chu Fan was going to let a member of the royal family manage the Tengwang Pavilion and also be named the Tengwang, all the ancestors went crazy.
The ancestors all hoped that their descendants would be able to manage Tengwang Pavilion, because as long as the Tengwang Pavilion built by Your Majesty spreads, the Tengwang Pavilion on Chuitai Mountain will surely become famous throughout the world. Whoever manages Tengwang Pavilion at that time will also have his or her reputation spread throughout the world.
