"Ancestor, the fifth prince of the Great Xia Dynasty is here in person..." Ling Qingshu's face showed a trace of helplessness.

I thought to myself, the Third Prince has just arrived for a short while and the Fifth Prince is here again.

Sure enough, Xu Yang's trip to the arena really came at a price.

But in the final analysis, Xu Yang did this for Ling Qingshu and Tianlan Sect.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Fifth Prince walked into the lobby of the Tianlan Sect with several masked followers in golden armor.

"Sir, are you doing well these days?"

The Fifth Prince was well aware of the rules and did not come empty-handed. More than a dozen large boxes were laid out in succession in the Tang Dynasty. There was no doubt that they were all the finest materials and treasures in the treasury of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Xu Yang chuckled and stood up. He certainly didn't care about these material things, but he was very interested in repaying the remaining two favors as soon as possible.

"No one comes to visit you for no reason. I think the Fifth Prince came to Tianlan Sect in person this time to ask me to fulfill my promise."

“Hahaha, you are truly a genius, nothing can be hidden from your insight.

Yes, I came here today for myself and for Daxia.

The people of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land are furious because our dynasty sent troops. This is a very troublesome matter. Father is not at ease and is looking for a solution that will have the best of both worlds, which will both give him a reason to send troops to eliminate the troubles in the northern wilderness and appease the Heavenly Sword Holy Land. "

Xu Yang raised his lips and asked, "So, the Fifth Prince has recommended me to His Majesty the Emperor?"

"Exactly.

I am here today to formally invite you on behalf of my father. Three days later, my father hopes that you can attend the banquet for all ministers as the leader of the various cultivation lines."

Xu Yang thought for a moment and said, "If this is what you want me to do, no problem."

"Bye first!"

The fifth prince smiled and bowed to Xu Yang, then left with a few personal guards.

Peace returned to the lobby.

Ling Qingshu looked at Xu Yang with a puzzled look on her face: "This guy is using such a precious favor from the ancestor to invite you to the palace for a meal?

This..." Xu Yang looked at her and smiled: "Silly girl, it's not that simple.

Is the palace a place where anyone can go?

I predict that in three days, someone from the Heavenly Sword Holy Land will come.

Or, the Fifth Prince's influence in the court will take this opportunity to put pressure on me and seek more benefits for the Fifth Prince."

After hearing Xu Yang's interpretation, Ling Qingshu suddenly had an epiphany, but she also became more confused about her ancestor's motives.

"Since the ancestor had already guessed their purpose, why did he agree so readily?"

Xu Yang straightened his sleeves nonchalantly and said, "Nothing about the royal family is simple.

Just get rid of this trouble as soon as possible.

The Great Xia Dynasty is the most important barrier of the Tianlan Sect.

If I leave in the future, you will be able to live a more stable life with this lineage around."

A seemingly casual remark from Xu Yang shocked Ling Qingshu deeply!

It seems that this man is always like this, incorporating his concern for the people around him between the lines. He never deliberately expresses anything, but that reassuring feeling is always there.

Perhaps this is the embodiment of Xu Yang's unique and transcendent charm.

…

Three days later, at the Daxia Palace.

The emperor held a banquet for his ministers, and there was singing and dancing. The main hall was filled with a joyous and lively atmosphere.

Xu Yang sat at the first table on the left side of the upper hall, indicating his status as the number one person in the sect. This was obviously a deliberate arrangement made by the dynasty, and the etiquette was indeed thorough.

During the banquet, the emperor raised his glass several times to celebrate with his ministers. Suddenly, he mentioned Xu Yang's name and used the previous martial arts competition as the topic, praising the Tianlan Sect and Xu Yang himself.

"Haha, Your Majesty is too polite. Xu Yang is a foreigner, and the Tianlan Sect has received many years of favors from the imperial dynasty. I feel ashamed to receive such a courtesy now."

"Why!

Your Excellency is wrong!

For example, the Tianlan Sect is a major asset of our Great Xia Dynasty. With your cultivation, even those masters of the holy land inheritance level are no more than this...

Your Majesty, I, as an old minister, would like to propose that you appoint His Excellency Xu Yang as your Grand Tutor, choose one of the princes as your disciple, and personally teach him the peerless martial arts. What do you think?"

The old fellow who spoke was one of the important officials of the Fifth Prince's faction. After he said this, the Queen who was sitting next to the Emperor also became interested.

"His Majesty.

Lao Wu has been telling me recently about his admiration and respect for His Excellency Xu Yang of Tianlan Sect. I am so bold as to ask for this blessing on Lao Wu's behalf."

"His Majesty!

!”

As soon as the Queen finished speaking, the Eighth Prince's mother, Concubine Dong, could no longer sit still and hurried to the Emperor to plead for the Eighth Prince.

This is a very embarrassing situation.

Xu Yang hadn't even agreed yet when he was directly held up by these people. If he refused now, it would undoubtedly be a slap in the face of the royal family. Then Xu Yang's intention of asking the royal family to protect the Tianlan Sect would naturally not be realized.

“You two ladies don’t know that cultivation cannot be forced.

Both princes have the powerful strength of the Cave Heaven Realm, but in terms of martial arts, their ability to display them is insufficient.

Xu has a suggestion. He will teach the seven sword techniques on the spot. Whoever can comprehend them in the shortest time will be accepted as his disciple. How do you think? "

"good!

Just as you say!"

The emperor quickly took advantage of Xu Yang's opportunity to back down and shouted to stop the two women from continuing to fight. Then he summoned the fifth prince and the eighth prince to the palace and explained the cause and effect.

The Fifth Prince was originally the one who invited this banquet. The Queen and the minister were working in unison to pave the way for the Fifth Prince, but unexpectedly the Imperial Concubine intervened.

However, the fifth prince was not panicked at all.

I used that precious favor to invite Xu Yang here, and the outcome of this trial was already determined.

“My two princes, my seven sword moves are extraordinary, and I never teach them to others.

In other words, whoever learns these seven sword techniques will have unexpected opportunities in the future, and even his life trajectory will be changed. Once you choose to accept it, there will be no turning back. You should think carefully before making a decision."

The Fifth Prince thought that Xu Yang's words were a hint to him, and he nodded and agreed without thinking.

As for the Eighth Prince, he was a little confused at first, but when he heard that he could learn swordsmanship for free, he was naturally happy. He would never let his fifth brother outdo him in the hall, so he nodded quickly.

"Well, your highnesses, please close your eyes, empty your mind, and prepare to accept the unique skills I will teach you."

Xu Yang's voice was very light, and when the three of them concentrated and closed their eyes at the same time, an extremely powerful sword aura rose from Xu Yang's body.

Boom!

The dazzling ice-blue sword light quickly condensed from Xu Yang's head. Little did he know that the appearance of this scene actually made the eyes of a little maid beside the emperor brighten.

“W-what!

This sword technique...

How can it be so familiar? "
