The Second Prince could not help but shudder. The Duke of Xianyu was the most powerful of the many dukes.
He was a Level Six of the Martial Path. He could kill his enemies with a wave of his hand.
The First Prince hurriedly took a step forward, cupping his hands and smiling, "Duke, you misunderstand. We were just sparring. I did not expect Mister Su to be so powerful, just like the Duke back in the day. Congratulations to the Duke for finding a son-in-law."
He glanced at the Second Prince with a reprimanding expression, "Second Brother, quickly thank Mister Su for showing mercy."
If Su Yu had not shown mercy, the Second Prince, who was a Level Four Peak, would have been severely injured by Su Yu.
In front of the Duke, the Second Prince could only swallow his anger and thank Su Yu.
Su Yu calmly returned the greeting. His eyes subconsciously glanced at the Level Six green-robed guard beside the First Prince, and his pupils shrank.
Although he quickly concealed it, the First Prince still caught him.
"Mister Su, have you seen my guard before?" The First Prince's eyes shone brightly.
Su Yu was slightly confused, "I think I've seen him somewhere before, but I can't remember."
"Hehe, maybe it's because I look like someone." The First Prince smiled lightly.
The young princess impatiently said, "Alright, go and rest. We will attend my engagement ceremony in five days!"
Soon, the three princes were brought to a side room by servants.
"Father, look, I've broken through to Level Three. Impressive, right?" The young princess hugged the Duke's arm and raised her chin, proudly showing off.
The Duke of Xianyu could not help but laugh. He had been secretly observing. How could he not know that Su Yu had taken out the rumored precious Jade Fire Marrow?
He also knew that Su Yu had cultivated a rumored Saint Level cultivation technique!
Even the royal family only had one Saint Level cultivation technique, and no one had managed to comprehend it in a hundred years. Where did Su Yu get the Saint Level cultivation technique?
Could he have gotten it from the depository of the martial arts training institute?
But, as far as the Duke of Xianyu knew, the highest level of martial arts in the depository of the martial arts training institute was only high level cultivation techniques.
How could he know that the Purple Star Thunderbolt was a remnant with no cultivation technique level? Even the martial arts training institute did not know its specific level, as no one had ever successfully cultivated it.
Firstly, it was extremely difficult to comprehend, and secondly, it required Su Yu to possess a special Holy Decree.
Therefore, no one knew that the Purple Star Thunderbolt was a legendary Sacred Level Cultivation Technique.
The Duke of Xianyu was overjoyed.
Su Yu had once again exceeded his expectations. To think that Su Yu had the nature-defying level of perception to comprehend a Saint Level cultivation technique!
"Yu'er, on the day of your wedding with Xian'er, I will help you find a saint level cultivation technique that the royal family treasures for you to comprehend!" The Duke of Xianyu was extremely pleased and proud that he had chosen such a good son-in-law.
The Saint Level Cultivation Method collected by the Imperial Family? Su Yu's heart thumped wildly.
In fact, after sensing the extraordinary power of the Purple Star Thunderbolt, he had already concluded that it was very likely to be a Saint Level Cultivation Technique!
However, it was only a remnant of a manual after all, so its might was limited. How could it compare to the Saint Level Cultivation Technique that the Imperial Family had collected?
Su Yu was grateful. He could imagine how difficult it would be for even the Duke to borrow the Saint Level cultivation techniques of the Royal Family.
However, for Su Yu's sake, he still made a promise.
The duke's kindness was as heavy as Mount Tai. Su Yu's heart was heavy.
After Xian'er left with the duke, Su Yu returned to his room.
As he passed by the courtyard where the three princes were, Su Yu recalled the green robed guard beside the First Prince. The terrifying power of a Level Six!
"It's him!" Su Yu's expression gradually turned serious.
If he was not mistaken, that green robed guard was the Level Six strong martial artist who had lured the martial arts training institute students to the Twilight Mountains!
The fourth gold ranked student, Ceng Bier, had died at his hands. His corpse was still rotting in the valley.
Su Yu, Lu Xuan, and Lu Xing had almost mistakenly fallen into a trap. Su Yu had discovered them in advance and had luckily escaped.
But how could he be the First Prince's guard?
A bad feeling welled up in his heart.
In the side room, the First Prince's face was gloomy.
"Bai Qixiong, have you exposed yourself to Su Yu?"
That day in the Twilight Mountains, the terrifying green robed guard was indeed him.
Hearing this, Bai Qixiong knelt on the ground and said in fear and trepidation, "First Prince! I have no impression of this person. For the past few months, I have been staying in the Twilight Mountains and rarely met anyone. If I had met him, I would have remembered him. "
That day, Su Yu had discovered him from a mile away.
Su Yu could see Bai Qixiong clearly, but Bai Qixiong might not have been able to see Su Yu's face.
Furthermore, Su Yu's aura, skin color, and clothing were worlds apart. Even if Su Yu stood in front of him, Bai Qixiong might not be able to recognize him.
The First Prince muttered to himself for a moment before coldly nodding his head, "Get up. I hope that Su Yu has mistaken you for someone else. Go and make the arrangements immediately and proceed with the original plan."
...
For the next five days, Su Yu was busy entertaining guests and had no time to train.
Especially since the young princess was mischievous and could not find him from time to time, Su Yu could not leave.
As the empire's most powerful duke, his daughter's engagement was a big deal.
All the honored guests were nobles, generals, and ministers, as well as wealthy merchants. Every single one of them was an existence that could make the empire tremble with just a stomp of their feet.
As for the local guests, apart from Xia Linxuan from the martial arts training institute, no one had the right to attend the engagement ceremony.
The fifth day was the last day of the reception.
Xia Linxuan brought his daughter Xia Jingyu to pay a visit.
"Kid, congratulations." Xia Linxuan was a little embarrassed. In the past, Su Yu had been a student of the martial arts training institute. Unfortunately, his talent had been overlooked by Xia Linxuan. Now, he had soared to become a relative of the emperor.
Su Yu cupped his fists and sincerely said, "Thank you, housemaster Xia."
Xia Jingyu was untainted by even a speck of dust. Her face was as beautiful as a fairy from a painting. She had a tranquil smile on her face. Her voice was gentle and her temperament was otherworldly. "Congratulations, you have to treat Xian 'er well in the future. She has a pure heart, don't let her down.
Su Yu smiled, "I will remember Senior Xia's teachings. Please come in and have a seat."
Su Yu had a deep respect and gratitude for Xia Jingyu. He could not forget the bow that she had given him.
Xia Linxuan, who was walking in front, hesitated for a moment. He pulled a long face and said awkwardly, "Su Yu, I heard that you have a good relationship with Xia Jingyu. Xia Jingyu has many problems on her path of cultivation. I hope that you can give her some pointers when you have the time."
"Father!" Xia Jingyu's skin was as white as porcelain. She blushed and stomped her feet in embarrassment.
Su Yu replied, "Senior Xia is a demon-level genius. Her abilities are above mine. How could I give her pointers? In the evening, when I am done with my work, we can exchange pointers. "
Xia Linxuan looked at Su Yu with admiration. Su Yu's reply was experienced. It could be seen that Su Yu's emotions were not something his peers could compare to.
Xia Linxuan sighed in envy. "The Duke of Xianyu has really picked a good son-in-law."
Seeing the two of them leave, Su Yu stood outside the hall and continued to entertain guests.
"The Duke of Qin has arrived!" A servant announced.
Su Yu raised his eyebrows, a cold expression flashing across his face.
He had not forgotten that the Duke of Qin had forced him to give up on Jiang Xueqing.
He quickly regained his composure.
The engagement of the Duke of Xianyu had shaken the entire court. All of the nobles had come.
The Duke of Qin was neither a friend nor foe of the Duke of Xianyu. It was understandable that he had come to congratulate him.
"Greetings, Duke of Qin." Su Yu smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.
He was magnanimous, neither servile nor overbearing. He did not show his emotions, as if they had never been unhappy.
Seeing Su Yu again after two months, the Duke of Qin was shocked.
Back then, when Su Yu was just a commoner, he had displayed an extraordinary aura. He had immediately determined that Su Yu was a talent.
Now, it had come true! The Duke of Xianyu had taken a liking to Su Yu as his son-in-law!
Furthermore, he had displayed his Holy Decree at the martial arts training institute. He had the qualifications to become the Holy King!
The Duke of Qin felt a tinge of regret. If he had known this would happen, he would have ended Su Yu's life at all costs!
His mistake had given Su Yu a chance to grow. It would be difficult to get rid of him now!
"Haha, Mister Su, your future is limitless. If you have the chance to go to the imperial capital in the future, you can come to the Qin manor for a chat." The Duke of Qin smiled warmly, just like before.
The Duke of Qin had the intention to ease their relationship.
Behind the Duke of Qin, a man and a woman stepped forward to greet him.
"Congratulations, Mister Su." Qin Feng and Jiang Xueqing had complicated expressions.
Qin Feng had been humiliated most of the time. Not long ago, Su Yu had been beneath his notice.
But now, he had become a relative of the royal family, the fiancé of the young princess of Xianyu!
The young princess of Xianyu, Qin Xianer, was one of the three beauties of the training institute, on par with Jiang Xueqing.
Now that he had the beauty and a powerful backer, his status was no less than the Duke of Qin Feng's.
Jiang Xueqing, on the other hand, felt even more bitter.
She was the one who had abandoned Su Yu. Now, looking back, he had become a demonic genius with the potential to become the Holy King. He was Qin Xianer's fiancé, the son-in-law of a duke. His status was extraordinary.
What made her even more bitter was that she had once fallen in love with this peerless purple robed man!
Su Yu lightly nodded, without joy or sorrow, "You must be tired from the long journey, I will order the servants to help you rest."
At this moment, Xianer ran over from the corner of the courtyard, excitedly shouting from afar, "Brother Su Yu, Brother Su Yu, come quickly! Sister Jingyu is here too, the three of us can exchange pointers together. "
Ever since this little girl had broken through to Level Three, she had been excited for a few days and was especially interested in training.
Even though it was only 30% enthusiasm, the Duke of Xianyu was sincerely gratified.
Xianer hugged Su Yu's arm, affectionately tugging at him.
After being together for half a month, the little girl had gotten used to Su Yu. Of course, most of the time she treated him as something to show off.
Eh? Only then did Xianer notice the presence of the Duke of Qin and the others. Her watery eyes glanced at Jiang Xueqing.
She had heard of Su Yu's misfortune. Seeing Jiang Xueqing, she immediately put her hands on her hips, angrily glaring at Su Yu, "Hmph! Are you the bad woman who abandoned Brother Su Yu? You're not much, not even as pretty as me! "
"Let's go, Brother Su Yu, ignore them." Xianer dragged Su Yu into the inner yard.
Su Yu turned back, cupping his fists in apology, instructing the servants to bring them to a side room.
Jiang Xueqing's shoulders trembled slightly, biting her lips, her heart filled with bitterness.
That's right, compared to the young princess, what am I, Jiang Xueqing?
In terms of looks, Jiang Xueqing did not lose to her.
In terms of status, she was the high and mighty young princess, a relative of the emperor. How could Jiang Xueqing compare?
Qin Feng felt humiliated, suppressing his anger, "Qing-er, ignore them. I don't believe that Su Yu can be arrogant his entire life!"
Neither he nor Jiang Xueqing wanted to participate in the engagement ceremony.
One was someone who had lost to Su Yu.
The other was someone who had abandoned Su Yu.
However, their father had insisted that they come, ordering them to be respectful and submissive!
That was why they felt so aggrieved.
...
Xianer led Su Yu to a pavilion in the inner yard.
It was already dusk and the lanterns had just been lit.
The resplendent lights and the twinkling stars reflected off each other, illuminating the small courtyard filled with pear blossoms.
Xia Jingyu sat quietly on a stone bench in the courtyard. Her slender figure, under the light and pear blossoms, was as graceful as a fairy.
