The woman only glanced at Li Yi for a moment before looking away. There was no change in her expression.
"Strange …"
Li Yi shook his head. In the end, he still couldn't remember where that familiar feeling came from. He could only think that he had remembered wrongly.
He took another look at the people waiting outside the hall and finally looked away.
At this moment, Princess Shouning walked out of the side hall angrily. It seemed that she didn't get the result she wanted in her negotiation with the old emperor.
She stood in front of Li Yi and glared at him angrily. Her eyes were filled with hidden bitterness.
"It's impossible to take you out of the palace for two months …" Li Yi sighed and said, "However, you can ask your sister, MIngzhu, to take you out. This way, your father won't say anything. When the time comes, I'll take you out to play."
Princesses who hadn't reached adulthood weren't allowed to leave the palace as they pleased. However, as the eldest princess, Li Mingzhu, wasn't restricted by this rule. She could even go to Qing 'an Prefecture alone and work as a lowly bailiff in the Anxi yamen. This wasn't the first or second time she'd brought a proud lolita out of the palace to Li Xuan's estate.
Princess Shouning's little face revealed a satisfied expression. She glanced at Li Yi and walked over to hold Yong Ning's hand. She said, "Ignore him. Let's go play over there!"
Li Yi heaved a sigh of relief after finally settling the matter with the little lolita. At this moment, morning court had just begun. Although it wouldn't last very long because there was still a competition, he, who didn't need to attend court, felt a little bored at this moment.
"This is the Li Yi that I told you about." At this moment, Li Xuan walked over with a few young people.
"So this is County Uncle Li." A rough-looking young man with a face full of stubble beside Li Xuan cupped his hands and said, "My grandfather often mentions you in front of me. Today, I finally get to see you in person."
Li Xuan introduced, "His name is Xue Yong, the eldest grandson of General Xue's family."
Looking at Brother Xue's appearance, Li Yi once again felt that it was the right decision to reject Old General Xue's kind intentions. According to Old General Xue's description, Brother Xue's appearance was similar to his sister's.
"Brother Xue …" Li Yi also cupped his hands. The two of them were now acquainted.
Li Xuan then introduced the others one by one. They were all descendants of generals, and the candidates for today's competition would be chosen from among them.
Regarding Li Xuan's social circle, Li Yi felt that it was rather strange.
He was the son of a prince and could be considered half a member of the royal family, but he didn't have much of a relationship with the many princes in the imperial court. Instead, he mingled with the descendants of generals. It was obvious that Old General Xue and the other old generals seemed to be taking care of him.
However, no matter what, among the hundreds of officials in the imperial court, other than the Li family, the ones he was closest to were the families of generals. He warmly exchanged a few words with them. Not long after, he saw Chang De and a few grey-clothed men walking over to him.
"Steward Chang!"
The descendants of generals all bowed when they saw Chang De. There was even a hint of fear in the depths of their eyes, which surprised Li Yi.
Chang De nodded. When he passed by them, he suddenly reached out to grab Xue Yong's shoulder.
Xue Yong's expression changed. He dodged agilely, but his shoulder was still firmly grabbed by Chang De.
Chang De frowned and said, "Have you slacked off again these days?"
Xue Yong's expression was bitter. He was about to speak when Chang De waved his hand and said, "Prepare well for the competition later. Don't embarrass General Xue."
Chang De left quickly after saying this. The men in gray quickly spread out on the square in front of the hall. There were also palace guards scattered everywhere, responsible for the security of the venue.
Seeing Chang De standing nearby, the descendants of generals didn't dare to continue chatting. They dejectedly found a place further away from him …
It looked like there were more than one or two people who disliked Chang. Li Yi slowly walked over. Before he could speak, Chang De glanced at him and said, "This old man has never heard of the Sunflower Manual, and I've never said 'our'. I don't even know what the Bixie Sword Manual is … Do you have any more questions?"
"Steward Chang … You're a grandmaster, right?" Li Yi asked as he walked over.
Chang De glanced at him and didn't answer, implying that he was right.
Although he had already guessed it, Li Yi was still somewhat astonished after it was confirmed.
Even Miss.Liu hadn't reached that level, so he probably didn't have much hope in this lifetime. However, this didn't stop Li Yi from being curious.
Although Ruyi had also reached this level, she was still young and didn't have much experience. Chang De was different. He had lived for so long and lived in the palace, so he probably knew many things. This made Li Yi's curiosity overflow.
He looked at Chang De and asked curiously, "Steward Chang, what's the level above grandmaster?"
The pugilistic world had always tacitly agreed that grandmasters were the strongest, but didn't they say that martial arts had no limits? Logically speaking, grandmaster shouldn't be the end. Perhaps the next level was shattering the void and going to another world?
For example, Earth in the 21st century?
After experiencing the unimaginable thing of transmigration, Li Yi felt that no matter how wild his imagination was, it wouldn't be too much to ask.
Chang De glanced at him and said lightly, "Grandmaster is just a title for those who have almost eliminated all their flaws and achieved great success in martial arts. It's not a realm. There's actually no clear division of realms in the pugilistic world. It's just a name forcefully given by others, so it can't be taken seriously."
"Great success in martial arts without flaws? Then the strength of a grandmaster is about the same … "Li Yi mumbled.
Chang De shook his head and said, "Of course not. There are also differences between grandmasters. It's just that for these experts who have already jumped out of that shackle, it's not easy to determine the winner unless they fight to the death. Moreover, the level of one's strength is also greatly related to the mental cultivation method and martial arts learned. The better the mental cultivation method, the more powerful the martial arts, and naturally, the stronger the martial arts. "
Chang De glanced at him and said, "Can those ordinary martial arts and mental cultivation methods compare to the Eight Desolation and Six Directions Technique, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and the Six Pulse Divine Sword?"
Li Yi's expression changed. He looked at him and asked, "Do these martial arts really exist?"
"No."
Chang De waved his hand and said, "I'm just using your 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils' as an example."
Li Yi was a little disappointed. He thought that Miss.Liu was not knowledgeable enough to have never heard of these powerful martial arts. He didn't expect that Chang was also an old homebody on the outside. He even read such fantasy martial arts novels …
"However, although martial arts are not as powerful as you think, some martial arts do have the same effect as those 'divine skills'."
Chang De glanced at him and said, "Although there are no martial arts like the Eight Desolation and Six Directions Technique that can restore one's youth every thirty years and increase one's strength by another level, there are records in the palace that there is a strange martial art in the martial arts world that can change one's appearance. Even an old man can recover his youthful appearance in a short period of time. However, this is only a superficial martial art and cannot increase one's lifespan in the slightest."
Li Yi shook his head and said, "After practicing martial arts, one's body will be healthy and immune to diseases. It can be considered as extending one's lifespan."
Chang De looked at him and said, "That's not really extending one's lifespan. It's not that there are no real martial arts that can extend one's lifespan. I've heard of a martial art called the 'Turtle Breathing Technique'. It is said that those who practice this' Turtle Breathing Technique 'can increase their power in their sleep and easily live for two cycles of sixty years. However, those who practice this martial art will sleep for many years and rarely wake up. Even if they really sleep for two cycles of sixty years, what's the point? Of course, this is only hearsay. At least, I've never seen it. "
Li Yi nodded repeatedly. He thought that Chang was indeed knowledgeable. These were things that Miss.Liu and Ruyi did not know. Sometimes, he could not help but ask Second Great Uncle about it out of curiosity, but the old man would fall asleep after a few words. Li Yi's many doubts were all answered by Chang.
Unfortunately, when he wanted to ask more questions, many figures began to walk out of the hall.
