After Yang Kang left, Wanyan Honglie stayed in the courtyard for another half a day before leaving reluctantly.
During these years of getting along with Bao Xiruo, the two of them were not completely free of affair, but Bao Xiruo never let him stay overnight in the courtyard, which made Wanyan Honglie very helpless.
But after licking these for many years, he has gotten used to it. Time is the best weapon that can make everything disappear.
He could sense that as Kang'er grew older, Bao Xiruo's rejection of him became less and less, and the feeling of intimacy was different from before. It was only a matter of time before she would completely accept his call and put her heart on him.
In a good mood, he returned to his study and dealt with some government affairs. After drinking a sip of hot tea, he suddenly remembered something and called his secret guard in.
The secret guards are different from the palace guards. The guards are all the emperor's personal soldiers and are proficient in fighting. Although their personal bravery cannot be underestimated, they are not up to the task when fighting against the masters of the martial arts world.
So he secretly trained some secret guards. These secret guards were all martial arts masters. They were not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also proficient in all kinds of tricks in the martial arts world, which could greatly ensure their own safety.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. I wonder what Your Majesty wants me to do for you."
"Stand up and talk. Do you know what the young prince has been doing recently?"
The secret guard hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the young prince has been doing well recently. In addition to studying with his tutor, he has been practicing martial arts. The young prince is extremely talented and his martial arts are improving rapidly. Ordinary martial artists are no longer his opponents."
Zhao Wang Wanyan Honglie nodded: "I know all this, but I heard today that the young prince had a duel with someone?"
The secret guard said hurriedly: "I was just about to report to the prince that the young prince did go to the courtyard where Mei Chaofeng was today, and he also brought a team of personal soldiers with him, but the secret guard did not approach, which was also in accordance with the prince's instructions."
"Afterwards, I immediately secretly asked the soldiers who went there. The young prince had a duel with Mei Chaofeng's new disciple, a young man who was a little older than the young prince. The young man's palm techniques and light skills were very good, and he seemed to be quite scheming."
"He had been fighting with the young prince, and took advantage of the young prince's impetuous mood to defeat him. Moreover, all of this was planned by Mei Chaofeng. She said that she wanted to take the opportunity to teach the young prince the basic skills so that his martial arts could be truly solid and advanced."
It can be seen here that once a fact is retelled, it can easily breed rumors.
And many times, this is not intentional deception, but a natural process of incorporating one's own subjective judgment into it.
If the secret guard himself saw the scene at that time, he would definitely understand that those words were all led by Lu Qingzhou, and it is very likely that he was playing tricks.
But because it was a retelling, he listened to the soldier's subjective judgment, so he stated the subjective judgment as a fact. Wanyan Honglie received wrong information and of course made a wrong judgment.
After letting the secret guards retreat, Wanyan Honglie showed a thoughtful expression.
"It seems that this was indeed designed by Mei Chaofeng, just to put pressure on Kang'er and make him honestly build a solid foundation. Lu Qingzhou should have received some guidance and completely restrained Kang'er's attack. It was really well-intentioned."
So in the following period of time, the treatment in the courtyard where Mei Chaofeng lived was a little better than before, and many good things were sent to her, which benefited Lu Qingzhou a lot.
In the courtyard, two young men were fighting each other. Both of them used the same set of palm techniques, and their figures were flying around, which was very beautiful.
"Wanyan Junior Brother, you have practiced the Jade Sea Rising move incorrectly. Although this move is only the opening move, it is also the essence of the Jade Wave Palm. The sea water rises and falls, and the size of the storm that can be rolled up depends on the opening move. The greater the force, the heavier the power. You must have an unstoppable momentum."
"Then there is the move of 'clouds rolling and clouds expanding', which directs the momentum that has been raised out, allowing the palm power to be retracted and released freely. The words 'retracted and released' are the essence of the palm technique."
While fighting with Yang Kang, Lu Qingzhou gave him some instructions.
His attainments in the Bi Bo Palm Technique were no longer inferior to Mei Chaofeng's, and he could teach Yang Kang with ease.
Anyway, even if he doesn't give any instructions, Mei Chaofeng will teach him, so it's better to get some favor for himself.
"Thank you very much"
After some guidance, Yang Kang had more respect for Lu Qingzhou, and his hostility dissipated a lot. Although he still didn't call him senior brother, his attitude was much better.
Lu Qingzhou smiled and nodded: "Then Junior Brother, practice well. I'm going to do my own thing."
After saying this, he walked to the pavilion and began to recite Taoist scriptures. Mei Chaofeng also stopped meditating and listened quietly beside him.
A feeling of harmony and intimacy arose naturally between the two of them, which made Yang Kang feel jealous.
However, the most important thing now is to improve his martial arts, so he could only turn a blind eye and quietly practice the Bi Bo Palm and Ling Ao Step.
He had a good foundation and had worked very hard, so his progress was very rapid. After just a few days, he became familiar with the whole set of palm techniques and could fight in a very good manner.
But it is still a long way from being proficient.
He also knew that practicing a set of martial arts was definitely not an easy task and required years of practice, so he was mentally prepared for the current progress.
But the problem was that Lu Qingzhou had only studied for three months, yet his palm technique attainment had reached that level. This was something he couldn't understand.
However, when he thought that after he had mastered the Bi Bo Palm Technique and had a solid foundation, his strength would increase greatly, he became motivated and practiced it over and over again without any slacking off.
At this moment, a servant walked in from outside, then ran to Yang Kang and whispered something to him. Yang Kang's expression changed slightly.
After saying hello to Mei Chaofeng, he quickly walked out.
"Master, do you want to know who is coming?" Lu Qingzhou turned to Mei Chaofeng and smiled.
Mei Chaofeng chuckled: "What did you discover? It shouldn't be something you heard. The distance is too far, I couldn't hear it clearly, and you shouldn't be able to hear it either."
Actually, Lu Qingzhou really couldn't hear clearly. With the blessing of higher quality hearing, he did have the strongest hearing talent. But unfortunately, Mei Chaofeng's hearing was blessed with profound skills and was even stronger than his.
"I didn't hear it, but I saw it."
Mei Chaofeng was stunned: "See? Did you read their lips?"
There are indeed people in the world who can read lips, and some even know ventriloquism, or speak with their stomachs.
However, these things are all niche skills and are extremely difficult to learn. Even if you have mastered the methods, it still takes years of practice.
My disciple can actually read lips?
Lu Qingzhou's powerful talent is displayed in all aspects. After slowly understanding it, although there is no special development, if you are very familiar with him, you can guess what he means.
However, in the entire Prince Zhao's Mansion, the only person who was familiar with her was Mei Chaofeng. Yang Kang was actually not familiar enough with her. After all, he was only half-baked at lip reading.
The reason why he used this excuse to talk to Mei Chaofeng was because it was time to let Mei Chaofeng know the origin of Yang Kang's other master.
