Chapter 32: Leaving Chang'an, Dugu Qiubai
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Wei Manor.
Wei Tianhao stood in the long corridor and watched Ye Xuan leave. "His Highness entered the manor late at night and brought me a pill, which helped me improve my cultivation. This is a great favor."
"Master, what are you trying to say?" the butler asked.
Wei Tianhao said, "My chance has come. His Highness is allowing me to train the new recruits. This shows his trust in me and his recognition of my abilities. In that case, shouldn't I perform well?"
The butler nodded. "Master, you will be returning to the imperial court and be in charge of the new army. Your name will definitely shake the world in the future."
"Uncle Yun, do you think so too?" Wei Tianhao smiled.
"Master, you're brave and wise," Uncle Yun said. "You can make plans on the battlefield, and only on the battlefield can you display your true talents."
Wei Tianhao turned around and walked toward the hall. "Uncle Yun, prepare my weapons and armor. I want to see the Crown Prince again before he leaves the capital tomorrow. I want him to see my true appearance. Tonight's meeting was too sudden, and it will damage my heroic image."
Uncle Yun was speechless.
Chang'an City.
At the end of the night, it was not far from the curfew.
Ye Xuan led Gao Ying to the palace. This time, he didn't pass by Peace Square. "Your Highness, shall we go back to the palace directly?"
"What else do you think, Old Gao? Do you have other arrangements? Do you want to go to Peace Square and have some fun?"
Gao Ying was speechless.
One sentence and the conversation was over.
After returning to the Eastern Palace, Ye Xuan entered the main hall and immersed himself in cultivation. He would have to face the experts of the martial world on his way to Celestial City, so he could only protect himself by becoming stronger.
...
Early in the morning.
Ye Xuan stopped cultivating, and Jin'er's voice came from outside the hall. "Your Highness, you're up? We'll come in and help Your Highness change."
"No need, I've already packed up."
Ye Xuan changed into a black brocade robe and walked out of the hall. Jin'er and the other two girls had been waiting outside for a long time. "Your Highness, Princess Yongning and Miss Tantai are here. They'll be sent out together with Your Highness."
"I understand."
When Ye Xuan arrived at the main hall, Ye Qingxuan and Tantai Lan were sitting in front of the table. Seeing him appear, Ye Qingxuan stood up. "Brother, you were not sleeping in, are you?"
"I'm very busy."
"Brother, when are we leaving?"
"Immediately!"
Ye Xuan ordered Gao Ying to prepare the carriage, and the group left the palace. He only brought Jue Ying and Iron Slave, as well as Ye Qingxuan and Tantai Lan. The five of them appeared outside the city on horses.
In the wilderness, a man in armor was sitting on a horse. It was none other than Wei Tianhao.
Seeing Ye Xuan's figure appear, he immediately urged his horse forward. "Your Highness, I've been waiting for a long time."
Ye Xuan glanced at Wei Tianhao, who was covered in armor. "General Wei, it seems that you have made your choice. I'll hand the new army to you."
Wei Tianhao said, "Your Highness, please leave in peace. When you return in the future, I'll definitely hand over a group of tiger cavalry."
Ye Xuan nodded. "General Wei, if you need anything, you can go to Xiao Rui. He will help you."
The Grand Preceptor, Grand Tutor, and Left Minister had been eliminated, but Xiao Rui had survived and had not been implicated. He was now loyal to Ye Xuan and did not dare to have any disloyalty.
He didn't say that he wanted to retire and return to his hometown. He promised that he could work for another ten years.
"I understand."
Wei Tianhao said in a low voice. He looked at Ye Xuan and hesitated for a moment. "Your Highness, can you give me one more of the pills from last night?"
Ye Xuan said, "Train the new recruits well, and I'll be back again. The pills from last night can only be taken once in a short period of time to have an effect. It's not good for the kidney if you take too much."
Wei Tianhao was speechless.
The breeze was gentle, and the ancient trees swayed.
The ancient road, west wind, pretty boy...
The group rode on their divine steeds and gradually went further and further away.
"Brother, why don't we ride a flying sword? Do you not know how to do it? If that's the case, we can let Sister Tantai teach you! Brother, how's your cultivation? You only brought one guard with you. If you encounter any strong martial artists, can he protect you?"
"Yongning, you talk too much," Ye Xuan said.
"Brother, I'm just concerned about you," Ye Qingxuan said.
Ye Xuan laughed but didn't say anything. On one side of the horse, Iron Slave said, "Don't worry, Princess. I'm very strong. If someone tries to harm us, you'll only need to hide behind me, and you'll be safe."
"Really?" Ye Qingxuan asked.
Obviously, she didn't believe that the Iron Slave was an expert. In fact, even Ye Xuan didn't know how strong Iron Slave was. He only seemed to be at the peak of the Great Grandmaster realm.
Ye Xuan tightened the reins in his hand and continued forward. With a thought, he opened the monthly check-in twice. "Ding, congratulations, Master, you have successfully completed the monthly checked in. You have received a summoning card, Invincible Sword Box, and a Pickpocket Card."
Hearing the system notification, Ye Xuan looked at the system page and began to check the system rewards. There were three rewards in two monthly check-ins. He was familiar with the summoning card, so he just needed to use them.
The Invincible Sword Box contained nine flashes of sword Qi. It could swallow all divine swords in the world and could also be used as a flying device.
When the Pickpocket Card was randomly triggered, it could receive any item.
This Pickpocket Card was a little interesting. It was similar to taking things from a distance, but it was random. This thing had to be used with caution because one wouldn't know if it was a surprise or a scare.
"System, use the summoning card immediately!"
"Ding, congratulations, Master, for successfully summoning the Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai. You have gained his eternal loyalty."
Ye Xuan was a little shocked. He didn't expect that he would be summoned. Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai was a truly invincible expert. He had lived a lonely life and only wanted to be defeated.
He had roamed the martial world for more than 30 years, killed all his enemies, and defeated all heroes. No one in the world could resist him.
Helpless, he could only live in seclusion in the deep valley and treat the eagle as a friend.
Wooo! It was really lonely and embarrassing to seek an opponent in one's life but not be able to get it.
Ye Xuan was very curious to see how much change there would be if he summoned Dugu Qiubai.
Character: Dugu Qiubai.
Title: Sword Demon
Realm: Mingxuan peak
Divine Power: With Dugu's nine swords, a demonic sword is nothing. Seeking defeat with one sword, an invincible sword realm.
Divine Pet: Diamond Eagle
Looking at the information about Dugu Qiubai, he realized that he hadn't changed much. Now that he was in another world, it was unknown if he could continue to be the legend and be the number one in sword Dao.
"Ding, a reminder to you, Master, Dugu Qiubai is waiting in Luoyang City."
He was already in Luoyang, so there was no need to rush.
...
Within Anyang City.
Ye Xuan and the others led the horses forward. Iron Slave took out a book and wrote something in it. "Your Highness, we've been away from Chang'an for 15 days. Can we rest in this city?"
"Iron Slave, let me see your book."
Iron Slave was a little hesitant, but in the end, he still handed the book to Ye Xuan and opened it to take a look.
This guy was actually writing a diary. Looking at the contents of the book, Ye Xuan almost snorted.
"It was a sunny day today, and I was sleeping in the wilderness without a woman. I ate ten roasted rabbits."
"It was drizzling today. I'm sleeping in the old temple, and it's another day without a woman. I'm eating dry food."
"There was no woman."
"There was no woman."
"I want a beautiful lady... Hehe, I don't even need to eat."
...
Which decent person would keep a diary these days?
What was wrong with Iron Slave? Why did he have such an obsession with women?
Ye Xuan threw the book to Iron Slave. "It's the first day without a woman again."
Iron Slave smiled naively. "Young Master, I believe there will be."
As he finished speaking, he looked at the woman on the long street. "Hehe... Beautiful lady."
The woman was with her husband, and Iron Slave was extremely wretched that he was thinking about her. How was this guy different from those creepy men?
