Lu Qian did not seem to notice this change, or perhaps he did, but pretended not to notice. He smiled and said, "Good disciple, you are really outstanding. You have just entered the palace and your status is already different. Today you performed martial arts on the stage, that was really awe-inspiring. Shifu was also proud of you. Didn't His Majesty praise you as a young hero? Last time I abandoned you and ran away, it was Shifu's fault. I really had no other choice. If I did not leave, everyone would have died there. But afterwards I was very worried about you. Now that I see you are fine, I am relieved. You have escaped from a great disaster. There is a good saying, 'there will be good fortune later.' Isn't the good fortune later? Jiahua, now that you are the Little Prince, you cannot despise the poor and love the rich. You still need to help your impoverished Shifu … "
Shangguan Yaohua's expression was as cold as ice. He said, "Have you said enough? Who is your disciple? I am the adopted son of Prince Fu, Shangguan Yaohua. I am the Little Prince of the Great Qing Dynasty. I don't recognize you bunch of bandits. If you know what's good for you, quickly get out of my sight. "
Lu Qian was startled, but he still put up a strong front and said, "Jiahua, are you joking? You are getting better and better at pretending. But there is still a flaw. If you are not the Cheng Jiahua, how would you know about our past as bandits? "
Shangguan Yaohua said, "Why would I need to personally experience it to know? Looking at your shifty-eyed faces, I know you are not good people. "
Lu Qian was still holding on to his fantasy a moment ago, but now he was completely awakened by this vicious scolding. He angrily said, "You heartless bastard …" He raised his palm and chopped toward Lu Qian. Shangguan Yaohua stepped back and shouted, "Left and right, take him down."
Immediately two servants, one on the left and one on the right, raised their palms to block his attack. One of them shouted, "Audacious! You dare to be rude to the Little Prince that His Majesty has just personally conferred today? Are you tired of living? "
Lu Qian snorted coldly. He didn't care that it was beneath his dignity to bully the weak. He immediately killed the two servants. The Shangguan Yaohua angrily said, "Audacious thief! Considering that we will be officials of the same court in the future, this Prince will be more patient. Don't think that I am afraid of you? You killed my subordinate as soon as you made your move. How should I punish you? "
Lu Qian sneered, "You're just a Little Prince in name but not in reality. Today you're bestowed the title of Prince, and you dare to call yourself 'Prince'? I would like to ask you, what crime do you deserve for deceiving your master and destroying your ancestors? "
Shangguan Yaohua said, "Idiot, I've already told you, I'm not your goddamn disciple, Cheng Jiahua. Lu Qian snorted coldly, "Is that so? Don't tell me that your surname is Shangguan? There should be a family name in the past, right? What's that called? "
Shangguan Yaohua arrogantly said, "What is this Prince's taboo name? Do I need to report it to you? I don't care what my previous identity was, right now I am Shangguan Yaohua. I want to wholeheartedly be a good Little Prince. "
Lu Qian angrily said, "So you want to change your name, your surname, and your ancestors in peace? You are a heartless, disloyal, unfilial wolf cub. Your whole family was killed by the Devil Cult and the Manchurian Qing imperial court, and now you want to protect their rivers and mountains? How can your relatives in the underworld rest in peace? "
Shangguan Yaohua sneered, "Ha, filial piety? Don't joke around. If this' filial piety 'were to be sold on the market, how much would it be worth? Your disciple is a poor kid with no power or influence, and he still has to bear the crime of being a rebel. Since Yifu can give me glory, splendor, wealth, and rank, I will follow him wholeheartedly. "
Lu Qian was so angry that his eyes stared straight. He said, "Very good. So you are saying that you are determined not to be the former second-in-command of the Qingtian Stronghold, Cheng Jiahua. You want to be the Great Qing's Little Prince, the Shangguan Yaohua who lives by relying on power and influence?" Shangguan Yaohua said, "Nonsense. One is a bandit, the other is an official. Anyone with a conscience under the heavens will surely make the right choice."
Lu Qian snorted coldly, "Since ancient times, officials and bandits have been one family. You can't deny it. Do you still have a conscience? I'm afraid there won't be any animals under the heavens. There's one more thing. With your meager martial art skills, what can you do? Do you really think you can sit firmly on the Little Prince's seat? "
Shangguan Yaohua said, "Risking my life on the battlefield is something only low-level generals do. As the Little Prince, I was born to lead others. I don't need to pay attention to them. "
Lu Qian sneered, "That's not necessarily true. Look at the other Princes. Which one of them isn't a veteran of hundreds of battles? Titles are earned on the battlefield with real swords and spears, bathed in blood. You want to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor? There's no such thing in the world. The Princes in front of us are only interested in you, their adopted son. After a while, they won't pay attention to you. You only know how to use the Death Seeking Execution to bewitch people and curry favor with the powerful … But then again, how did the Death Seeking Execution end up in your hands? "
Shangguan Yaohua said, "What does it have to do with you? I have my own skills. Humph, you are weak and incompetent. You only know how to hand over the Death Seeking Execution to others. Do you think others are the same as you? What is the Yuan family? What is the Four Great Clans? What is the Seven Demons? As long as I, Shangguan Yaohua, am serious, these people who have always made you tremble in fear won't be my match. "
Li Yijie had been calmly observing Shangguan Yaohua from the side. At this time, he raised his hand and grabbed Shangguan Yaohua's sleeve, which was fluttering in the wind, and said, "Let's be honest. If you aren't the Cheng Jiahua, how did you lose your arm? Little Prince, don't tell me that you have a strange hobby of chopping off your arms when you have nothing better to do. "
Shangguan Yaohua angrily said, "I don't need to tell you how I lost my arm! Do you really like to pry into other people's secrets? You're even more nosy than a marketplace gossip. Are you going to let go or not? "
Li Yijie said, "I have no interest in knowing your secrets. Right now, I'm just trying to find out the truth and determine whether or not Sire is telling the truth. "Shangguan Yaohua coldly shouted," Let go! "He took a step back and raised his hand to slap Li Yijie's face.
Li Yijie grabbed his wrist and said, "You keep saying that you want to be outstanding. Is this your way of doing things? What is this? You're basically selling yourself at a cheap price! You said that you have to endure humiliation for the greater good, but that doesn't count! "
Shangguan Yaohua said, "I want dignity. Right now, I'm still poor and destitute, and I don't have a single penny to my name. A well-fed man doesn't know the suffering of a starving man. As the Wulin Alliance Leader, you can naturally talk about righteous and awe-inspiring principles. But what if you were in my shoes? If a person wants to succeed, he must make sacrifices. It's just that your luck is better than mine. Right now, I'm very satisfied. At the very least, Yifu treats me well and I've become a respected Little Prince. In terms of value, the Chen family has been destroyed for six years. Cheng Jiahua should have died at that time. Later on, I was struggling at death's door and was taken in by Yifu to carry on another family's ancestral line. What's wrong with that? "
Li Yijie angrily said, "Very good. Today I finally see your true colors. Although I'm not talented, I know that loyalty comes first. I don't want to be friends with people like you! "He pulled Lu Qian and said," If you don't want this kind of disciple, then don't want him. Let's go. "
Lu Qian hesitated for a moment. Still feeling sad, he said, "Jiahua, that day you knelt in front of me with a bramble and begged for forgiveness, weeping bitterly and begging me to forgive you and accept you as my disciple again. This happened in a short … not even a month. Even if you forgot, I'll remember it for you! " Can a person's loyalty change so quickly? "Shangguan Yaohua snorted coldly and said," Only a son of a bitch would kowtow to you and beg for forgiveness. Don't slander me! "
Lu Qian had always been eloquent, but this time he was so angry that his stomach hurt. After half a day, he finally said, "I always thought you were a white-eyed wolf. I didn't expect … I didn't expect you to be a …" He dragged out his words, but he couldn't find a more suitable word to describe it. He helplessly said, "I didn't expect you to be a white-eyed wolf!"
Shangguan Yaohua let out a cold laugh and said, "People walk to higher places, water flows to lower places. A good horse doesn't eat pasture! Since I know that you, this incompetent master, will hinder my future, why should I be loyal to you and waste my time with you? "
Lu Qian coldly humphed and said, "Good, very good. That year when you saw the Sect Leader of the Kongtong Pai was losing power, you came to me on the spur of the moment. Before the Qing Tian Village collapsed, you wanted to find a new backer and curry favor with An Yesun. Not long after he died, you came back to be my disciple? You betray your master; if in the future you meet an even higher ranking official, won't you abandon Prince Fu? He won't let you off that easily. You brought him this kind of extraordinary shame and humiliation. With his influence in the Palace, he will kill you without anybody knowing. "
Shangguan Yaohua said, "Dying a good death is better than living a bad life. If I betray my master, I will only betray those who have lost power. When that time comes, he won't have any power, he won't be able to take care of himself; what will he use to deal with me? Don't tell me that knowing that my master is going to die, I will hang up the name of loyalty and righteousness and be willing to be buried with him? "
While they were quarreling fiercely, Prince Fu happened to pass by with several officials. As soon as he saw this scene, he quickened his steps to welcome them. "Yao Hua," he said in surprise, "What are you doing here? Why haven't you returned to the Fu? "
In front of Prince Fu, Shangguan Yaohua immediately withdrew his arrogant and despotic expression. "Yifu," he said respectfully, "It's nothing serious, just a small misunderstanding. These two Daren mistook Child for one of their former disciples. Child was just explaining. " Thereupon he leaned close to Prince Fu's ear and said in a low voice, "Actually, Lu Daren's disciple is already dead. He suddenly suffered the pain of losing his disciple, and for the time being he is still unable to adapt. That's why he took Child as a consolation. Although his words are unavoidably a bit extreme, his grief can be imagined. Child can also understand. "
Hearing this, Prince Fu nodded slightly and said, "Let Yifu explain to the two Daren. Yao Hua, you go back first." "Yes," Shangguan Yaohua said. Finished speaking, he followed the servant and left calmly.
Lu Qian anxiously said, "Cheng Jiahua, you are leaving just like that? Stop right there! " Prince Fu strode forward and blocked Shangguan Yaohua's path. "Lu Daren," he said with a smile, "Just now Child has explained to you. He can understand your grief and indignation over losing your beloved disciple. But Lu Daren must also understand that people cannot always live in the past. Yao Hua is indeed not your deceased disciple."
Lu Qian coldly snorted twice. He had been dissatisfied with this old fox Prince Fu for a long time, and now he could vent his anger on him. "It's really strange," he said with a cold laugh, "Prince Fu has only met Jiahua recently, how do you know his past? What position are you standing on to vouch for him? "" Yao Hua is a sensible child, "Prince Fu said," He has always been sincere to this Prince. I have been in the officialdom for so many years, I believe my old eyes have not become muddled. My ability to judge people is not wrong. "
With a cold laugh Lu Qian said, "Then I am afraid your Fiery Golden Eyes, which you have maintained for so many years, will be ruined by that little wolf cub. Could it be that you did not investigate his background before accepting him as your adopted son? Or do you just believe whatever he says? Even if you don't know anything else, you should have heard of the Qingtian Stronghold, right? His Shangguan Yaohua is my stronghold's former second-in-command, Cheng Jiahua. You are a dignified official of the imperial court, if you accept a former bandit leader as your adopted son, I am afraid your reputation will be affected? "
Prince Fu said, "Yao Hua was originally the son of a rich family. Later on, his family declined, so he went to Jianghu to make a living. He has suffered many hardships, but he has never been a bandit in the mountains. He has nothing to do with your Qingtian Stronghold. What's more, he was brought back by Cao Daren. Cao Daren has been this Prince's old friend for many years. He is willing to vouch for this child's family background, how can I have any more doubts? "
