Chapter 9 Proposal This is a truly amazing sight! The symbol of a high-level Zhenwu warrior is centered on the true meaning of martial arts and is nurtured by the energy of the Heavenly Gang and the Earthly Evil in the Zhenwu secret treasure. The visitor was none other than Chen Chuanshan, the commander of the imperial guards stationed at the foot of the mountain. He stood at the scene of the fight, looked around, snorted coldly, and turned away. But in Gu Yuanqing's perception, Chen Chuanshan clearly glanced at the location of the cave dug by the old man with his peripheral vision. And it was this one glance that made Gu Yuanqing feel fearful. "I was wondering why the old man had been digging holes and searching for treasures in Beiquan Mountain for months, but the imperial guards didn't notice it. It's called a forbidden area, but it's just a formality. Now it seems that it's not the case. He was just like a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind." "Then was my breakthrough to Zhenwu also in front of everyone? Was my skill of hiding my energy hidden from them?" Gu Yuanqing frowned a little, but then he thought: I have been imprisoned here for several months, and no one cares about me. The Daqian royal family doesn't seem to have the intention of killing me. Why should I think too much? As long as my cultivation level improves, what do I have to be afraid of? His thoughts fell on the old man again. At this time, the old man was standing at the window in the room, holding the hatchet in his hand within his reach. His eyes were full of solemnity, and it seemed that he was ready to take action immediately if he was discovered. After a long time, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, put the hatchet on the bedside, and went to bed with his clothes on. In a room not far away, a middle-aged woman was sleeping soundly, unaware of what had just happened on Beiquan Mountain.
After the song ended, Beiquan Mountain returned to its peaceful state, as if nothing had happened... Outside the mountain, two injured men in black suppressed their injuries and used their skills to quickly leave. Ten miles away, a thin man in black vomited blood, his feet went weak, and he fell from the treetop. "Seventh Brother!" The other man quickly turned back and checked, his tone filled with anxiety. "That man is a high-level Zhenwu. The sword energy entered my body and injured my heart meridian." "Don't talk, suppress the sword energy, and I will take you away!" He carried his companion on his back and ran away again using his body skills. In a valley thirty miles away, the tall man in black stopped, put his companion down, gasped, and looked around. After a while, a figure walked out from the darkness. He was also wearing black clothes and had a handsome face. It was Qin Baijun. "Xue Chengyang greets you, sir." The other person was breathing weakly and could no longer speak. Qin Baijun lowered his eyes and glanced at him, then asked calmly, "How is it going?" "I am incompetent. I didn't expect there was a sentry on the cliff. I was discovered before I sneaked into Beiquan Mountain. That person is a high-level Zhenwu. We are no match for him. Please forgive me, sir." Qin Baijun turned his head and looked towards Beiquan Mountain: "Beiquan Mountain is a forbidden area of Daqian after all, so it's normal. Here are two rejuvenation pills. You two should heal your wounds first." In the Prince Gu’s Mansion, Prince Gu, whose title had been demoted by one level, lived a secluded life. He resigned from all military duties and even stayed out of the morning court on the pretext of illness. He spent his days tending to flowers and plants in the palace, as if preparing to spend his remaining years in peace. The Gu family, which was once prosperous, seemed to be declining. The businesses they managed were taken away one after another, but they just swallowed their anger and said nothing. Early in the morning, the white-haired and white-bearded Prince Gu slowly performed a set of boxing in the courtyard. The servant brought him some clean water to wash his hands, and then he dried them with a towel before slowly taking a booklet from the palace's chief steward. He took a look, waved his hand to dismiss all the other servants, and asked, "Are you saying that Her Royal Highness the Princess is pregnant?" "The news came from a eunuch in the imperial kitchen. He happened to see the bulge in the princess's abdomen. I think the news can't be wrong." "Whose?"
The butler hesitated for a moment and said, "This old servant speculates that it might be... my family member Gu." "Gu family? My Gu family?" Prince Gu was surprised at first, then his expression turned cold, anger was in his eyes, he clenched his fist, and the book in his hand turned into powder. "So that's how it is. This little bastard deserves to die!" After a while, the housekeeper asked, "Your Highness, what should we do next? As for Young Master Gu Yuanqing..." "Let everything remain the same. Pretend we don't know about this news. Let those who know the news keep it to themselves, otherwise... I will kill them all!" Daqian Palace, Qingyun Garden. This place was listed as a forbidden area several months ago, and it was claimed that Princess Daqian was practicing in it and trying to break through. There are royal servants guarding outside the courtyard, and anyone who enters without permission will be killed without mercy. The Emperor of Daqian, Li Haotian, asked his servants to wait outside the gate and walked into the courtyard alone. There were only a few maids in the courtyard, and none of them were allowed to step out of the courtyard. "My son, I will meet my father." "Xuan'er, get up quickly. There's no need to perform such a grand ceremony." Li Miaoxuan gently held her belly, stood up and smiled, "Father seems to be in a good mood today, but is there any good news?" "There is indeed one thing, but it depends on Xuan'er's mood." Li Haotian waved his hand and asked the servants to leave. "Father, please speak." "Elder Qin from Lingxu Sect came to the palace today." "Master Uncle Qin? He hasn't been out for many years. What is he doing here in the palace?" Li Haotian, the Emperor of Daqian, paused for a moment and said, "It is his grandson Qin Baijun who is proposing to you, Xuan'er. I have seen this child, and his cultivation and character are both top-notch." Li Miaoxuan's smile faded: "I think Father has rejected it." "Why is this? Xuan'er, I think you shouldn't be so careless." "Father, do you think I can marry someone else in my current state?" Li Haotian raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Why not? My son is a natural talent with a beautiful face. Who in the world can't be worthy of him? Besides, Qin Baijun is in love with you and doesn't mind the past. He just needs to get rid of the baby in your belly. I think you two are a good match, and he also promised that the first son born in the future will be named Li." Li Miaoxuan said calmly, "I am devoted to cultivation and have no intention of getting married. Besides, does your Majesty want me to serve two husbands?" Bang! Li Haotian slammed the table next to him, and the solid wood table broke into pieces: "What nonsense! That shameless Gu Yuanqing, a bastard, how could he have two husbands? I will have him killed to vent my anger." "I can't stop you from doing anything you want to do, but there's no need to talk about marriage anymore." Li Haotian's face was icy, and he said in an unquestionable tone: "Don't be silly, this is for your own good, for the good of Daqian. I will make the decision. I will let the imperial physician take away the baby in your belly." Li Miaoxuan looked calm and said calmly, "Father, I have already become a master. There may be many things in the world that I cannot do, but if I don't want to, no one can force me, including... you, Father." What is a Grandmaster? This is the crown of martial arts. One person can defeat thousands of soldiers and can establish a school in Daqian. "You..." Li Haotian pointed at Li Miaoxuan, speechless. His face turned pale and he walked away in anger.
In a villa on Beichang Street in the imperial capital. Qin Baijun stood in front of the main hall, with an old man with white hair and beard sitting at the top. "Grandfather, are you saying that His Majesty rejected my grandson's proposal of marriage?" Qin Baijun looked grim. "Jun'er, I think we should just let this matter go. After all, she...it will bring shame to my Qin family if this matter gets out." The old man sighed. "Then I beg grandfather to kill someone for my grandson!" Qin Baijun fell to the ground.
