The Medicine King Pavilion was built in a blessed land in the east of the city by mountains and rivers. It already formed the atmosphere of a city within a city. Most of the people who lived here were alchemists as well as alchemists' followers.
The environment here was elegant, and the heaven and earth spiritual energy was rich. It was stronger than a blessed land in the imperial palace.
Yao Lingyu sat on his flying crane soft couch and returned to the pavilion. He did not return to the main hall, but directly charged to the pavilion's forbidden area. That was the place that belonged to his father's closed-door cultivation.
This place was the back mountain. There was an immortal's cave dug in the belly of the mountain. In front of the immortal's cave, there was a thick iron door. There were even king-level guards guarding here. After Yao Lingyu arrived here, there were four king-level auras that locked onto him.
Yao Lingyu opened his mouth and said, "It's me."
After those kings saw Yao Lingyu, they withdrew all of their auras.
Yao Lingyu came in front of the thick iron door and said faintly, "Father, this child requests an audience."
After he said this, his body kept bowing. There was no response from the iron door for a long time. He did not dare to stand up straight either.
After about 15 minutes, a sonorous voice rang out from inside and said, "What's the matter?"
Accompanying this voice, there was an incomparably violent aura that swept out from the iron door, pressuring Yao Lingyu until he was somewhat unable to breathe.
"A heavenly alchemist called Yang Wu appeared in the capital. This child competed with him and completely lost to the other party," Yao Lingyu reported.
"Yang Wu, a heavenly alchemist? Where did this old monster come from? "the person behind the iron door asked.
"Not an old monster. The other party is merely a youth who is not yet twenty years old."
"Then is he a prodigy from the Transcendent World?"
"Not either. He's someone from the Yang Family," Yao Lingyu responded and reported the situation he learned to his father one by one.
"The Yang Family has never been restless. Don't act rashly for the time being. Wait for me to come out of seclusion, then recruit him," the person behind the iron door said.
"I'm afraid he won't accept the recruitment."
"If he doesn't accept, then get someone to kill him."
…
In the imperial palace, the civil and military officials had already returned home. Everything returned to tranquility. However, the news regarding Yang Wu spread like a storm.
Yang Wu's reputation was destined to rise to another level, becoming the center of attention in the Royal City.
At this time, Yang Wu was not able to go back. Instead, he was summoned to the back pavilion by the Emperor.
Only the emperor and Yang Wu were alone in the hall.
The Emperor asked Yang Wu, "Marquis of Taoist Master, if you have any other requests, just say it. There is no one else here. I also want to hear your thoughts."
This was the first time that the Emperor had met Yang Wu. He had already realized that Yang Wu was unstoppable and could not be treated like before.
"Your Majesty, you have already given me such a great reward, how could I dare to ask for more?" Yang Wu politely replied.
"Are you still trying to test me? I can tolerate you disobeying the imperial decree, so I can tolerate you making some requests. The premise is that you don't make it too difficult for me. "The Emperor said bluntly.
"It's this humble subject's fault. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Yang Wu replied. After a pause, he said, "Can this humble subject really make another request?"
"I have already made it clear enough." The Emperor said in a deep voice.
"Then this humble subject wants the right to use the herbs in the medicine hall's warehouse." Yang Wu said.
"Hehe, I made you the honorary medicine priest, which means that you have the right to dispose of the herbs in the medicine hall's warehouse. You still haven't opened your heart to me." The Emperor sighed with a smile. After a pause, he said, "When you came back from the border, you were holding back a lot of resentment. I don't believe that you have completely forgotten it."
Yang Wu's eyes flashed and said, "Then this humble subject will boldly say it. I want to take revenge. I don't know if the Emperor will allow it?"
The Emperor stood up and said with his hands behind his back, "Your Yang family is a loyal family. I was also at fault for that matter. Can't you let it go?"
"Your Majesty may not know, but I was once beaten into a cripple. If I wasn't lucky enough to be chosen by my master, who reshaped my dantian and taught me a cultivation method, I'm afraid that I would have already died in the mountain prison. My family wouldn't have had a good ending either. Ordinary people say that 'if the emperor wants the subject to die, the subject has no choice but to die.' But my Yang family was not the Emperor's fault. The Emperor was just deceived by that villain and let that villain succeed. Now that Yang Wu is lucky enough to return to Imperial City, I don't have much ambition. I just want to vent my anger, so I ask the Emperor to allow it." Yang Wu said seriously.
"What do you want to do to vent your anger?" The Emperor asked again.
"I'm not a ruthless person. As long as the people who harmed me get the punishment they deserve, it's enough." Yang Wu calmly said.
"What if they don't agree?"
"If they don't agree, I can only punish them myself."
"Let zhen think about this matter and come up with a solution that everyone is satisfied with." The Emperor knew Yang Wu's bottom line and did not continue to pester him. He changed the topic and said: "What do you plan to do next?"
"Why does Your Majesty ask this?" Yang Wu asked back.
"You already have a master. Your master doesn't plan on taking you to another world to develop?" The Emperor asked.
In reality, he was also worried. Once Yang Wu became successful, he didn't know if he would become another Medicine King's Hall.
Yang Wu was smart and could feel the Emperor's thoughts. He smiled and said: "Right now, it's not bad in Imperial City. If there's a chance, I want to try to become the martial arts champion. My Yang family first has a scholar and then a martial arts champion. That way, we'll really have both 'scholar and martial arts'. My parents will also be gratified."
"Your way of thinking is different. With your current strength, becoming the martial arts champion will be as easy as taking something out of your bag." The Emperor smiled and then said: "This wish is very simple. As long as you join the Imperial School, it'll be fine. I just don't know if you're interested?"
"Of course, I'm not joking. When the Imperial School holds a martial arts competition, I'll definitely participate." Yang Wu said with a face full of excitement. He didn't feel that stepping on those weak geniuses was a shameful thing. Instead, he felt proud of it.
"Alright, Elder Chen will definitely do this for zhen. Zhen will ask you again. Do you really not plan on marrying zhen's daughter? She's an outstanding beauty. "The Emperor changed the topic again.
Once upon a time, a monarch would be so polite to a subject.
Yang Wu revealed an embarrassed expression and said: "To be honest, this subject already has a sweetheart, so I can only disappoint Your Majesty's good intentions."
"What does that matter? Which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? As long as you don't wrong my daughter, it's fine." The Emperor said generously.
He was only so open-minded towards Yang Wu. Other Prince Consorts could only marry one princess in their lifetime. However, Yang Wu was a Heaven's Alchemist. The appeal of a Heaven's Alchemist was bound to be extraordinary. Furthermore, he was so young and had a boundless future. No matter who it was, they would first have to form a relationship with Yang Wu. There were many benefits.
Yang Wu tactfully refused and said: "I still can't wrong the princess."
"Alright, zhen won't interfere with you anymore. However, if zhen's daughter pursues you, you definitely can't reject her. Otherwise, zhen will not let you have an easy time even if zhen uses the power of Da Xia." The Emperor said solemnly.
Following that, the Emperor nagged a few more words before sending Yang Wu away.
Before Yang Wu left, he didn't forget to mention that he had offended the Second Prince.
The Emperor only replied with a single "Understood."
The pitiful Second Prince was still thinking about revenge. However, he didn't know that he would soon be put under house arrest by his Imperial Father. From then on, he would treat Yang Wu like a venomous snake.
After Yang Wu came out of the back hall, the Empress walked towards him. Yang Wu quickly took out the Face Preserving Pill that he had prepared and offered it to her: "Empress, this is the Face Preserving Pill that this official has prepared for you."
The Empress was overjoyed. She couldn't wait to receive it and praised: "Marquis Shaowu still remembers this one. Very good." After pausing for a moment, she pulled out a beautiful woman beside her and said: "Come, Marquis Shaowu. This one will introduce you. This is this one's precious Princess Xiaohan. You two have a good chat. This one will go and try this pill."
Originally, the Empress wanted to have a good talk with Yang Wu and let him interact with Tang Xiaohan. However, she was more concerned about her appearance now and didn't have time to care about young people.
Only Yang Wu and Tang Xiaohan were left at the scene. The atmosphere had become a bit subtle.
Yang Wu couldn't help but look at Tang Xiaohan who had already changed into women's clothing. She was like a flower bud that was about to blossom. She looked incomparably fresh and tender. That spotlessly white face seemed like it could drip water. Her beautiful eyes rippled with spring, like the blue waves in a clear pool. It was very gentle and moving. She wore a purple robe that perfectly outlined her well-developed figure. No matter from which angle, she was like the most beautiful scenery, deeply attracting people.
Tang Xiaohan felt Yang Wu's burning gaze and revealed a trace of bashfulness. A bit of blush appeared on her tender face, adding a bit of charm to it.
Yang Wu came back to his senses and lightly coughed before saying: "Yang Wu greets Your Highness the Princess." Then he said in an unromantic manner: "It's getting late. Yang Wu will leave first."
Tang Xiaohan was annoyed. She puffed out her cheeks and asked: "Marquis Yang Wu, do you hate me?"
"No, the Princess is so beautiful. I hate anyone but you." Yang Wu truthfully replied.
"But why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Tang Xiaohan asked back.
"It's getting late. It's time to go home and eat." Yang Wu spread out his hands and said.
"Come with me. I'll have the servants make you something good to eat." Tang Xiaohan used her noble status as a princess and ordered Yang Wu.
"That's not very good."
"What's not good about it? Unless you look down on this princess."
"Yang Wu doesn't dare."
"Then hurry up and leave. A big man being so fussy will make people look down on you. Could it be that you're worried that I'll eat you?" Tang Xiaohan said domineeringly. Then she twisted the Little Man's waist and walked towards her courtyard.
Yang Wu looked at Tang Xiaohan's moving back and sighed in his heart: "I finally understand what Lu Zhi meant when he said that being handsome is a sin."
At home, Lu Zhi inexplicably sneezed and lightly scolded: "Who's talking bad about me behind my back?"
