Su Ye smiled faintly and said, "Xia Cao, His Highness said that your talent is not bad and is suitable for cultivation. I wonder if you still have such thoughts?"
When Xia Cao heard this, she could not help but be stunned. She stretched out her hand and pointed at her nose, "Are you joking, His Highness? My talent is not bad? No one has ever said that since I was young. "
"That is because what you want to cultivate is not the same as what they want." Lu Xuan smiled and said, "It is because you have talent that you can feel me pass by, but Winter Worm can't."
Xia Cao could not help but feel a burst of joy in her heart. Some of the thoughts that had already been extinguished could not help but resurface. Since young, she had always envied those high and mighty heroines. Later on, she was indebted to Miss for showing mercy and allowing her to follow the Martial Masters of Hundred Herb Hall to cultivate. However, after one or two years of cultivation, there were no results. She felt that she had let down Miss's nurturing, so her thoughts faded and she became Su Ye's personal maid in peace.
She did not expect that there would be a glimmer of hope at the darkest hour. His Highness actually said that she had talent! His Highness was someone that even the Emperor treated as an honored guest. The words that came out of his mouth were undoubtedly more reliable and convincing than those ordinary Martial Masters of Hundred Herb Hall.
However, after her joy, Xia Cao sighed and said, "It is a pity that I did not meet His Highness earlier. I heard that cultivation has to start from young. When one grows up, one's foundation will be set and one will not be able to achieve much."
Lu Xuan laughed and said, "You know quite a lot. However, the cultivation path that is suitable for you does not have much to do with your foundation. Of course, if you want to become the world's number one in one go, there is probably no hope. However, if you want to make a name for yourself in this small place like the Central State, it is not too difficult. "
Xia Cao's eyes lit up. She blinked her big eyes and said, "Could it be that His Highness is willing to teach me?"
Lu Xuan smiled faintly, "Since you've already brought it up, I'll naturally guide you. However, a master can only guide you through the door, but it's up to you to cultivate. Your soul power is naturally not weak, so cultivating soul techniques will definitely yield twice the results with half the effort."
After he finished speaking, Lu Xuan took out a book with a blue cover and said, "This book records the cultivation method of a Soul Talisman Master. It's enough for you to become a Ten Star Soul Talisman Master. If you can really master it, there will definitely be a place for you in the vast Central Prefecture."
Xia Cao respectfully received the ancient book and carefully kept it close to her body. She felt like she was dreaming. Such a precious ancient book was given to her by the Prince just like that? In the past, when she was learning from those Martial Masters, all the ordinary Body Refining Stage cultivation methods were hidden. If it weren't for her beautiful appearance and the face of the Young Lady, she probably wouldn't have easily revealed it.
"Many thanks for His Highness' reward. This servant will definitely serve the Princess even more diligently in the future. I definitely won't delay matters because of cultivation." Xia Cao said with a serious face.
Lu Xuan teased, "In the future, when your cultivation is successful, just help me protect the Princess. In the future, when I'm not by the Princess' side, I'll have to rely on you."
Xia Cao said embarrassedly, "How can this servant compare to His Highness and the Princess? However, if anyone wants to harm the Princess, this servant will definitely be the first to stop them."
Su Ye shook her head and said with a smile, "Don't give Xia Cao any pressure. Come, try some pastries. It won't taste good when it gets cold."
Lu Xuan didn't tease Xia Cao anymore. He picked up a piece of pastries and stuffed it into his mouth. Just as he was about to swallow it, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. There was a living creature in his heart!
Seeing that Su Ye also picked up a piece of pastries and was about to try it, Lu Xuan raised his hand and knocked the pastries out of her hand. At the same time, he spat out the pastries in his mouth.
Su Ye was taken aback by Lu Xuan's actions, and Xia Cao was stunned as well. Lu Xuan stood up abruptly. All traces of his previous geniality were gone, and he looked at Xia Cao with a somber expression.
Xia Cao said in a trembling voice, "Wang- His Highness, what's wrong? Is there poison in the pastries? "
Lu Xuan didn't allow her to say anything and grabbed Xia Cao's arm. His fingers directly felt her pulse.
After feeling it, his expression relaxed slightly. He pulled Xia Cao's arm and turned her around. Then, he slapped her back three times.
Xia Cao felt a burst of pain in her internal organs. She thought, "It's over, it's over. His Highness must have treated me as the person who poisoned him. But at least let me distinguish it …"
However, before Xia Cao could finish her thoughts, she felt a wave of nausea and couldn't help but vomit. At this moment, Lu Xuan let go of Xia Cao's arm and sat down again.
Xia Cao calmed down and realized that she was still alive. She subconsciously looked at the filth that she had just vomited. It was the pastries that she had just eaten and hadn't had time to digest. But what was a little scary was that in this mass of filth, a worm the size of a thumb had crawled out!
Seeing this scene, Xia Cao, who had just finished vomiting, suddenly wanted to vomit even more. When she thought of such a big worm staying in her body, her scalp went numb.
Before she could think about it, Lu Xuan had already asked in a low voice, "Xia Cao, did you just eat the pastries inside?"
Xia Cao resisted the urge to vomit and replied, "Yes, Your Highness, we always taste before eating. But I definitely didn't eat such a big worm just now."
Unlike Xia Cao's panic, Su Ye was still calm. She looked at Lu Xuan and said, "What happened? Someone poisoned you? "
Lu Xuan took a deep breath and said, "It's not poison, it's voodoo. This is a voodoo worm."
After saying that, Lu Xuan picked up a piece of untouched pastries and gently crushed it. An extremely small voodoo worm suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Its size was at most one-tenth of the voodoo worm that Xia Cao had just vomited out. Eating it wouldn't be noticed at all.
Because Zhao Binger was poisoned by the Sikong family's voodoo, Lu Xuan had done a lot of research on voodoo worms. With one glance, he recognized this kind of voodoo worm. It wasn't too advanced, but it was extremely secretive. This kind of voodoo worm would enter a dormant state under high temperatures. It could almost completely hide its life force, making it impossible for people to guard against it. If it wasn't for Lu Xuan's strong senses and the fact that the conversation with Xia Cao had just had caused the voodoo worm to awaken slightly, he might have also been poisoned.
Xia Cao, who was at the side, was almost scared to tears. She quickly said, "Your Highness, this servant definitely didn't do it. This servant doesn't know anything!"
"I know you didn't do it. Otherwise, you wouldn't have eaten it and let it grow so big. If it had been a little longer, it would have been enough to slowly eat up your five viscera and six bowels. In the end, there wouldn't even be a corpse left!"
Although Lu Xuan's first suspicion was Xia Cao, when he realized that Xia Cao had been poisoned by the voodoo worm, he dispelled this suspicion. This was not a voodoo worm that could be used as a trick. Just as Lu Xuan said, it was enough to kill someone in a short time.
Since the voodoo worm wasn't released by Xia Cao and she was familiar with the usage of this worm, the suspect had already been locked onto. The cooking maids!
"Xia Cao, go to the kitchen and invite the two cooking maids over. Tell them that the princess asked them how to make this pastry." Lu Xuan's tone was cold. Under the table, where Su Ye and Xia Cao couldn't see, Lu Xuan's fists were already tightly clenched.
First it was the voodoo worm, and now it was the people around him!
Ruo Xiang Yi had died because of the Sikong Family's Yin Yang Soul Breaking Voodoo. Because of this, the Sikong Family had been turned upside down by Lu Xuan and suffered huge losses. He didn't think that Su Ye would follow in her footsteps. Just a moment ago, Lu Xuan had vowed that he wouldn't lose anyone!
He wanted to see who had such courage and what kind of price they were prepared to pay!
