Chapter 0050 Hearing
There were four women in white, one in front and three behind. The one in front was naturally Princess Qingming Dugu Shuming.
The woman on the far left behind said crisply: "Miss, I saw an acquaintance."
"Which one?" Dugu Shuming was admiring the scenery around him.
When her bright eyes look around, there is light flowing, and this pair of eyes alone is enough to captivate people.
"The young eunuch who was sent to Xiaoling Mausoleum as punishment, the one who cleaned the Dongyang Gate."
"Well, it's him."
"Looking at his appearance, he has become a Xiaoling Guard."
"Yeah." Dugu Shuming did not comment.
"Aren't eunuchs who grow vegetables allowed to move?" the girl in the middle spoke softly.
The third woman said, "There is a precedent of eunuchs who grow vegetables serving as guards of Xiaoling Mausoleum."
Her voice was softer and she was a few years older.
"It hasn't been long since he entered Xiaoling Guard!" The girl at the edge asked crisply, "Could it be that he has used some connections?"
The girl in the middle said softly, "He doesn't seem to have any background, does he?"
"That means being good at flattery."
"It's possible that he can do it."
"He doesn't practice martial arts!"
"That's strange."
"He must have used some connections to prove that the Xiaoling Guards are rotten to the core!"
"Miaoxue, it's better not to judge until you understand clearly, so as not to wrongly accuse someone."
"Yes, Aunt Su."
Li Chengkong and his group were in the front. Once Princess Qingming and her group entered the Xiaoling Mausoleum, they would have completed their mission and could go back to rest.
After paying homage to the previous emperors and returning to the magnificent palace to rest, Princess Qingming met with Gao Qi, the seal holder of the Shrine, Han Pingchuan, the sword user, and Qin Tiannan, the chief officer.
After talking for a while, the three of them took their leave, and Dugu Shuming left Qin Tiannan alone.
Dugu Shuming was dressed in a white palace dress, her dark hair made her skin look as white as jade, and her face seemed to have gathered all the beauty in the world, so radiant was her appearance that Qin Tiannan dared not look directly at her.
She sat lazily in the chair, waving her hands casually.
Qin Tiannan sat down stiffly and looked at her beautiful face.
Even in the city of Shenjing where there are so many beautiful women, Princess Qingming is still the most beautiful one, with a face that makes her look like a fairy banished to the mortal world.
It’s a pity that her family background is not good enough and she is not favored by the emperor.
Dugu Shuming asked lazily, "Master Qin, how did Li Chengkong perform?"
"...Li Chengkong?...Not bad." Qin Tiannan hesitated.
He was not surprised that Dugu Shuming asked about Li Chengkong.
Dugu Shuming was well-known for hating eunuchs. She was exiled to grow vegetables in the Xiaoling Mausoleum just because of a minor mistake. This shows how much she hated eunuchs.
"Just good?"
On each side of Dugu Shuming stood a beautiful girl, who looked almost identical, one wearing red and the other wearing green.
The red-dressed girl asked in a clear voice, "How did a vegetable-growing eunuch become a Xiaoling Guard? How did he get into the Xiaoling Guard?!"
Her eyes sparkled, as if she had discovered a great secret.
The two of them are also rare beauties. Qin Tiannan felt enormous pressure being stared at by four pairs of beautiful eyes.
But when he heard the question from the red-dressed girl, he suddenly perked up and said in a stern manner: "Young lady, you may not know that Li Chengkong is a martial arts prodigy, a rare prodigy in history, and he has now reached the Huayue realm."
"Impossible!" the red-dressed girl cried out, "He has never practiced martial arts!"
Qin Tiannan smiled.
"In just two months, he actually reached the Huayue realm?" The green-clothed woman spoke softly, "Master Qin, do you believe it?"
There are ten realms of martial arts: the Heaven-Stepping Realm, the Crane-Crying Realm, and the Abyss-Leaving Realm. These three realms are where most people will be in their lifetime. Seven to eight out of ten people in the world are in this realm, which is called the Body Transformation Realm.
The four realms of Mufeng Realm, Sixiang Realm, Huayue Realm and Nirvana Realm are called Qi Bian Realm. One or two out of ten masters in the world are in this realm and can be called martial arts masters.
The three realms, namely the Falling Stars Realm, the Shooting Moon Realm and the Great Light Realm, are called the Divine Transformation Realm. Few people in the world can reach them and they can be called masters.
As far as she knew, there were no more than a thousand masters in the Dayue Dynasty.
There are only three grandmasters in the princess's mansion.
The fastest time she had ever heard of going from the Heaven-Stepping Realm to the Mountain-Transforming Realm was eight years.
Hu Tianjing, the world's number one martial artist of the previous dynasty, started practicing martial arts at the age of ten, reached the Nirvana realm at the age of eighteen, the Falling Star realm at the age of twenty-two, the Shooting Moon realm at the age of twenty-five, and the Great Light realm at the age of thirty-five.
For thousands of years, no one has been faster than Hu Tianjing.
Qin Tiannan said: "If someone else said it, I wouldn't believe it, but it is indeed true!"
He looked at Dugu Shuming solemnly.
Dugu Shuming said calmly: "Is he a Sky Patrol Guard?"
Qin Tiannan's face changed slightly and he subconsciously turned his head to look around.
Besides Princess Qingming, there were only two women in the hall.
"Miss, let's go see how dinner is." The girl in green said softly. There was a beauty mole at the corner of her mouth.
"No need." Dugu Shuming waved her jade hand, stared at Qin Tiannan and said, "It looks like a secret guard!"
No matter how unpopular she was, she was still a princess and knew some information. Qin Tiannan was not only the director of the Xiaoling Mausoleum, but also a Sky Patrol Guard.
There are both open and secret guards among the Sky Patrol Guards. Qin Tiannan is an open guard, and Li Chengkong is very likely to be a secret guard of the Sky Patrol Guards.
Qin Tiannan hesitated.
Dugu Shuming frowned: "It seems that he is really a talented person who can be cultivated."
"Li Chengkong is indeed a rare genius in the world." Qin Tiannan said slowly.
He asked himself if it weren't for Li Chengkong, he wouldn't be able to Song Wuji.
In his opinion, Li Chengkong’s talent in martial arts was indeed amazing, but what was even more amazing was his outstanding mind.
Martial arts can be trained, but intelligence cannot be trained.
He secretly sighed, she is worthy of royal blood, with such a kind and elegant mind.
I am still not shrewd enough. It seems that I have been too comfortable in Xiaolingwei, so comfortable that I am almost useless and have degenerated greatly.
Only three people knew that Li Chengkong was a Sky Patrol Guard. Now there are three more people. The more people know, the more danger Li Chengkong will be in.
Especially since Princess Qingming and Li Chengkong don't get along, Li Chengkong is even more dangerous.
He was extremely upset.
"You go." Dugu Shuming waved her hand.
"...Yes, I'll take my leave." Qin Tiannan took a deep breath, clasped his fists, and walked out.
"Miss, is that little eunuch Li Chengkong really that powerful?" The girl in red couldn't wait to ask, "Isn't that possible?"
Dugu Shuming said: "I'm afraid that's the case."
"Then..." The girl in red frowned.
The girl in green said softly, "No matter how powerful he is, he is just a vegetable eunuch. He dare not do anything to the young lady."
"Well, let's go see Old Wang." Dugu Shuming stood up lightly.
Just then, a beautiful woman in her thirties pushed the door open and said softly, "Miss, it's best not to see Old Wang."
Dugu Shuming continued to walk out: "Aunt Su, no need to say more."
Su Ru said softly, "This will offend Master Lu."
"Lu Zhang is not so petty."
"Miss, Master Lu is not a tolerant person."
Dugu Shuming continued to walk out.
The two girls in red and green stamped their feet anxiously, not wanting Dugu Shuming to come over, but they knew they couldn't stop him.
"Miss, why don't you go and meet Li Chengkong." Su Ru said hurriedly.
Dugu Shuming paused.
Su Ru said, "Li Chengkong lives next door to Old Wang, so let Old Wang go there quietly."
Dugu Shuming continued to walk out: "There is nothing that cannot be said to others, just go and see it openly."
"...Yes." Su Ru was helpless.
The two girls shook their heads.
Dugu Shuming suddenly turned his head to look, and the two women stood still in silence.
Dugu Shuming stepped out again, left the hall, waved away a burly middle-aged guard as big as a bear and a towering old eunuch, and walked away with his hands behind his back.
The three women followed her closely and headed towards Wang Ruoyu's yard together.
