Xun Daoren used the Moon Wheel in his hand with such impenetrable skill that Nangong Niannian had no chance to harm him...
Having gained the upper hand, Nangong Niannian's attacks were like ocean waves, layer upon layer, stretching endlessly...
Xun Daoren knew that continuing like this would not lead to a decisive victory, and that he himself would likely be bogged down here. So he seized an opportunity to distance himself from Nangong Niannian…
"Youngsters, you'll learn how to respect your elders sooner or later. I'll let you off the hook for now, but you'd better watch yourselves..."
With that, he used his lightness skill to leave the battlefield!
"Holy crap... they got away already..."
Li Zhu was speechless. He was even trying to teach them how to be decent human beings!
An old man who only knows how to launch sneak attacks and boast is not only weak, but also shamelessly runs away. He has absolutely no martial ethics...
"You stinking Taoist priest, if I see you again, I'll beat you up every time..."
Li Zhu couldn't help but shout loudly!
"You brat, if it weren't for your mother's sake, I'd have killed you ten or eight times over. Keep talking big to me, and I'll see how I kill you. I don't believe your little brother will stay by your side forever..."
Xun Daoren's words carried from afar, but he only dared to shout them; he didn't dare to show himself again...
"Hmph, all you do is bark. Don't you know the old saying, 'A dog that bites doesn't bark'?"
Li Zhu's words were quite harsh, both implying that Xun Daoren was weak and couldn't even bite, and mocking him for only being able to shout...
"You bastard, you just wait, you've angered me..."
Xun Daoren said angrily, then disappeared without a trace, offering no further response…
Li Zhu ignored him and went to Nangong Niannian's side...
"Little brother, we meet again. I have to thank you for saving me last time, otherwise I would really be dead..."
Li Zhu approached Nangong Niannian and said gratefully, "Regardless of whether they are brothers or not, I still want to thank you for saving my life..."
"Brother, you're too kind. It was just a small favor, cough cough..."
Nangong Niannian coughed as soon as she finished speaking, and a barely perceptible trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. Seeing this, Li Zhu was shocked; his younger brother was actually injured…
"Little brother, are you alright?"
Li Zhu asked with concern!
"I'm fine..."
As she spoke, Nangong Niannian turned to leave!
"Even in this state, you still insist on being stubborn. Since you've come to find your brother, are you still going to treat me like an outsider? You were injured saving me; if you leave like this, wouldn't you be putting me in an unjust and heartless position? You're coming back to the East Palace with me today, no matter what..."
Li Zhu said in an unquestionable tone!
Nangong Niannian was still hesitating about whether to agree when Li Zhu pulled him away, giving him no chance to refuse...
The repairs to the Eastern Palace are still ongoing. Given the devastating damage, it's impossible to fix it all at once. However, Li Zhu is no longer in a hurry. He's about to head to Xiliang, and who knows when he'll return…
"Your Highness, I heard you were assassinated by Taoist Xun again today?"
Zhao Feng and Wang Yanzhang arrived together; their voices could be heard even before they reached them…
"That's right, and today a highly skilled archer also appeared and ambushed Nangong Niannian..."
"A master archer? Besides me, is there anyone else who deserves to be called a master archer?"
Zhao Feng said with a puzzled look, her expression somewhat reminiscent of Versailles!
"You mean you ambushed Nangong Niannian?"
Li Zhu glared at him, annoyed. At a time like this, someone was actually trying to take the blame upon themselves…
"Uh... there must be archers in this world who are even more skilled than me..."
Zhao Feng's ability to change her expression so quickly is truly astounding!
"Your Highness, don't bother with this guy. If things get really bad, you can just have him train with you in the future..."
Wang Yanzhang, standing nearby, made a joking remark, which immediately embarrassed Zhao Feng, causing her face to flush red…
"Enough! When have you ever seen me favor a male concubine? It's one thing if one person is stupid, but how come both of you are so stupid?"
Li Zhu said somewhat angrily, "I'm really defeated by these two!"
"Don't lie to us. If you weren't after my good looks, why did you bring me to your side?"
Wang Yanzhang looked completely incredulous!
Li Zhu's face darkened. He thought to himself, "Where the hell is your beauty? You're such a big, burly guy, you could scare a few people to death if you went out like this, and you still think you're beautiful?"
"Why don't you look in the mirror and see what kind of person you are? Where is your beauty? If we're talking about beauty, it has to be someone like Nangong Niannian..."
"See? He's confessed without being asked. He likes Nangong Niannian..."
Wang Yanzhang spoke up just in time, which made Li Zhu exclaim, "Holy crap!"
"This scoundrel is truly beyond saving," he said with a dark face.
"Your daughter has been flirting with me a lot lately. Actually, I think Wang Riqing is quite good except for not being very feminine. I've come to terms with it now. I am the Crown Prince of the new Tang Dynasty, and I must consider the continuation of the lineage. Your daughter will be my future concubine..."
"What? Only a talented woman? At the very least, she should be a Noble Consort..."
Wang Yanzhang said angrily, "You haven't grasped the key point at all!"
"Alright, I'll follow my father-in-law's advice. Qingqing will be my imperial concubine in the future, and you can't go back on your word..."
Upon hearing Li Zhu's words, Wang Yanzhang was stunned. What had he come here for? How come he hadn't explained things clearly and had even dragged his daughter into this mess?
"Your Highness, this...this is inappropriate..."
Wang Yanzhang didn't know whether he should be happy or sad; it was a relationship that was hard to define...
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. I'll take her with me when I go to Xiliang this time, and I'll try my best to give you a grandson soon so you can be happy..."
Li Zhu said with a smile, looking incredibly happy. With his parents' approval, it was time to start planning his relationship with Wang Riqing...
"I…"
Wang Yanzhang was about to say something when Zhao Feng interrupted him, saying...
"Serves you right! Who told you to joke with me? This time you not only lost yourself, but also dragged your daughter into it. I'm just curious, from now on, will you address each other as father and daughter, or will you address each other as brother and sister with the Crown Prince at the center?"
"roll!"
Wang Yanzhang roared in anger. This guy's words were utterly inhuman, making it sound like they, father and daughter, were sharing a husband...
"Don't be angry, it was just a little joke..."
Zhao Feng quickly tried to comfort him, but Wang Yanzhang was furious and had no intention of joking at all…
"Your Highness, don't you think there's something fishy about this assassination attempt?"
Seeing that Wang Yanzhang had completely gone off-topic, Zhao Feng had no choice but to take the initiative to bring the topic back and state the main purpose of their visit!
After a moment of contemplation, Li Zhu said seriously.
"I realized that a long time ago, but I just couldn't figure out what was wrong..."
"Perhaps you're just limiting yourself with your own thinking. Haven't you ever doubted Nangong Niannian...?"
