Such a peerless genius, a master, has fallen to this point. How pitiful and miserable!
Li Chengkong stood on the top of the rockery with his hands behind his back, staring at the scene outside in a daze. All her dissatisfaction and anger towards Li Chengkong were immediately dispelled, and guilt surged up in her.
Li Chengkong looked at her bright and shining eyes, but even with his extraordinary eyesight, he could not guess what she was thinking.
He smiled and said, "Your Highness, I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person."
There was no need to pretend to be respectful now. Since there were no outsiders around, Dugu Shuming could not find a way to take advantage of his weakness and attack him.
If I want to change my situation, I can't rely on Qin Tiannan, but I can use Princess Qingming for help.
Dugu Shuming thought his carefree smile was just an act, which made him feel even more frightened and anxious.
His father was a heartless person. All he gained from the commotion he caused in Mingyu Palace last night was the right to visit Li Chengkong, and nothing else. His father just wouldn't let Li Chengkong go.
She flitted by like a startled wild goose and gracefully landed on the top of the rockery. A faint fragrance immediately surrounded Li Chengkong.
She stood beside Li Chengkong in a fluttering white dress, looking around with her bright eyes, but could see nothing but dense forest.
"Let's go, sit down and talk." She floated down from the rockery into the pavilion.
Li Chengkong quickly stepped into the small pavilion.
Dugu Shuming asked: "Have you mastered the art of shrinking the earth into an inch?"
Li Chengkong nodded.
Dugu Shuming sighed softly.
The more talented Li Chengkong was, the more uncomfortable she felt.
"I will keep an eye on them and investigate your matter." Dugu Shuming stared into Li Chengkong's eyes, who was close to him, and said solemnly.
Li Chengkong extended his hand to signal for a seat, flicked a piece of wood under the small red clay stove, blew on it, and flames began to appear.
The faint smell of burning wood lingered, dispelling her subtle fragrance. Li Chengkong said, "Your Highness, please don't worry about this matter."
Through observation, he already understood Dugu Shuming's temper. If he asked her for help, she might not agree, but if he asked her not to interfere, she would definitely interfere.
"If I don't care, I don't know when they will be able to find out the truth."
"It's hard to find out."
"Make sure they find out!"
Li Chengkong smiled and said, "Princess, don't you doubt that I am a true follower of the Ziyang Sect?"
Dugu Shuming shook his head slowly.
Li Chengkong was such a lonely and arrogant person that he looked down upon the Zi Yang Sect, let alone joining it.
Father, don't you understand such a simple truth? You are too suspicious and confused!
"Fifteenth brother wanted to break in to see you, but was blocked outside."
"The Fifteenth Prince is very thoughtful. I am a criminal now, so it is better for me to stay away from him."
"Fifteenth brother is a chivalrous man, so he won't care about this."
Li Chengkong smiled and turned his gaze to the bamboo forest beside the pond outside the pavilion. The green bamboos swayed rustlingly, and he was stunned and mesmerized.
Dugu Shuming admired the bamboo forest, sizing him up with his bright eyes.
For her, who had seen many handsome men and beautiful women, Li Chengkong's appearance did not attract her. There were many people who were more handsome and heroic than him. She did not judge people by their appearance.
He was sitting quietly listening to the sound of bamboo. It was peaceful and tranquil, but she couldn't understand it and was extremely curious.
In this situation, shouldn't he be furious, shouldn't he be furious, shouldn't he be sullen?
Why is it so peaceful and tranquil?
“Pah…Pah…Pah…”
The burning firewood made crackling sounds from time to time.
"Woo..." The small red clay stove suddenly whistled, and the fragrance of tea suddenly spread.
Li Chengkong woke up with a start, brewed two cups of tea, handed one to Dugu Shuming and one to himself.
The two men held cups facing each other.
Dugu Shuming felt a strange feeling. He never thought that one day he would sit opposite Li Chengkong so calmly.
All along, the two of them were always quarreling when they met, one was angry and the other was resentful, but now they felt like they were putting aside their grudges and laughing it off.
She didn't want to disturb the silence for a moment.
Li Chengkong drank his tea quietly without saying a word, only listening to the rustling of green bamboo.
After finishing a cup of tea, Dugu Shuming stood up and said, "Just wait patiently. I'll keep an eye on that side."
Li Chengkong smiled: "Then I'll leave it to you, Your Highness!"
Dugu Shuming looked at him deeply, then turned and left.
The smile on Li Chengkong's face slowly faded.
Thinking about how to break the impasse.
The most reliable way is to improve his cultivation. The Great Light Realm has increased his computing speed again, reaching forty times the speed.
This means that he can practice faster.
According to the "Heavenly Scripture Heart Record", there is a higher realm above the Great Light Realm. If I reach that realm, can I be invincible and be able to stop the Wind Chaser?
If you can suppress the Wind Chaser, will you be able to do whatever you want and be free?
The current predicament made him yearn for freedom even more and want it even more.
In this world, if you want freedom, you either have to be the best in the world or become an emperor.
At present, it is easier to become the world's number one martial arts master.
Then let’s become the best in the world!
He was determined and calmed down to practice again.
The Tianyin Cave was originally empty, but now it is filled with mist and gauze.
The three kinds of internal forces were like three different colored gauze, floating between heaven and earth, red, blue, and gold.
At forty times the speed, the internal force increased alarmingly, and the Tianyin Cave, which was originally thought to be forever filled, was actually about to be filled.
This made Li Chengkong practice even harder, and he couldn't wait to see what the second level of Tianyin Cave was like.
The second level might be the hope for a breakthrough.
Immersed in his training, he almost forgot the passage of time and only woke up when his stomach growled.
At this time, the maid would often have placed the lunch box on the stone table in the pavilion, which contained exquisite dishes that were delicious and fragrant.
He ate hurriedly and continued practicing until his stomach rumbled, then ate again, and then continued practicing again.
Day and night, just practice.
After vigorous and diligent practice, the three-colored veil in the Tianyin Cave became crowded and could no longer float lightly.
As you make more progress, it becomes more crowded inside.
Early in the morning of that day, Dugu Shuming came again.
She told Li Chengkong with a sullen face that the captured Zi Yang sect member was dead, the investigation had reached a deadlock, and it would be impossible to find out the truth in a short period of time.
Her face was heavy.
This means that Li Chengkong cannot get out in the short term and will be imprisoned here for a long time, or even for his entire life.
Li Chengkong suddenly laughed.
"You..." Dugu Shuming stared at him with his bright eyes, fearing that he had gone insane and mad due to the stimulation.
"Interesting!" Li Chengkong seemed to praise and sigh: "What a good method! What a good method!"
Dugu Shuming asked: "You can still laugh?"
"What's the use of crying!" Li Chengkong shook his head and smiled.
He really admired this method , he really learned a trick.
"I will continue to investigate!" Dugu Shuming bit his teeth.
Li Chengkong waved his hand: "Your Highness, there is no need to waste your time. Let's just forget about this matter."
"If I don't check..." Dugu Shuming snorted, "If I don't check, you will stay here forever!"
"Your Highness, do you think you can find out?"
“…I don’t know.” Dugu Shuming fell silent.
She felt powerless and dejected.
As a princess, she had no power or position, and could not give orders to court officials, so she could only watch. However, after watching for a long time, the strictly protected Zi Yang sect member finally died.
Died by suicide!
It's so ridiculous!
