I didn't expect it to be so easy to become enchanted.

For me, practicing in the outer world is more like a fish in water.

Due to his super-sense, his understanding is already strong, and with the addition of the Miao Lingzhu, it is even more powerful.

In this world beyond the heavens, the role of understanding is crucial.

The same boxing technique, used by people with strong and weak understandings, will have very different power.

When practicing the same mental method, people with strong or weak understandings can practice at very different speeds.

He glanced at the sky and saw that dusk was gradually rising, so he turned and walked down the mountain.

Halfway through, the call from the seventh prince came from behind: "Nine brothers, nine brothers."

Chu Zhiyuan stopped and looked at him.

The Seventh Prince Chu Lieyu Pianpiao came closer, cupping his fists and laughing, "How are you doing, Ninth Brother?"

"How about what?"

"About that quota?" Chu Lieyu said with a smile: "You know that eldest brother and the others are also involved, right?"

"Um."

"I only learned the news last night. I never expected that eldest brother and the others would also participate in the fight... Then, ninth brother, do you still want to fight?"

"Brother Seven, don't you want to fight?"

"I know how much I weigh." The seventh prince shook his head: "I won't humiliate myself. The eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother must be red-eyed. They will be ruthless and will be recorded by the eldest brother and the others.

One stroke."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

"Ninth brother, do you really want to fight?"

"Of course we have to fight!" Chu Zhiyuan snorted: "Everyone depends on their ability."

"Brother... forget it!" The seventh prince stopped mid-sentence.

He finally figured it out.

It was said that Chu Liezhao was full of confidence and would not listen to it.

Then we can only respect each other's choices and wait and see their own destiny.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "What's more, this is also a rare opportunity for discussion."

"Ninth brother, be careful. The eldest brother and the second brother are ruthless and always go all out."

"good."

"Shall we go drinking together tonight?"

"Seventh Brother doesn't need to accompany Seventh Sister-in-law?"

He knew from the memory of the original owner that the seventh prince had just got married not long ago.

It's the time when newlyweds mix their honey with oil, and they wish they could stay together all the time.

"What does she have to do with you?" The seventh prince waved his hands carelessly: "She found her elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, and they had a lot of fun all day long."

The relationships among the princes ranged from distant to close, hot and cold, but the princes and concubines were quite warm and moved around frequently.

This is also a major disadvantage of Chu Liezhao.

"Okay." Chu Zhiyuan nodded happily.

It's rare for anyone to really get close to him, and most of the princes are still waiting and watching.

I only know that he has great martial arts qualifications, but his personality and temper are still scary.

——

Chu Zhiyuan had dinner alone, sitting in a small pavilion in his small courtyard.

There are bright lights all around.

Youlan, Xiaozhu and the other three girls stood aside.

She suddenly whispered: "Your Highness..."

Chu Zhiyuan turned his head and glanced at her: "Auntie, just say whatever you want. It's not like you to be hesitant."

Youlan hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Her Royal Highness the Twelve Princess has sent guards over."

"Guards?" Chu Zhiyuan frowned: "She sent guards here?"

"Yes." Youlan nodded lightly: "It seems that Her Royal Highness the Twelve Princess also knows about His Highness's situation and specially sent expert guards here."

Chu Zhiyuan sneered: "Are you afraid that the inner court guards can't protect me or that I will die?"

Youlan said: "Only one guard came."

Chu Zhiyuan hummed: "You are not here to protect me, but you are here to be the eyes and ears, right?... Could it be that you are going to start taking care of me now?"

The status of the prince-in-law is naturally far inferior to that of the princess, not to mention that he is still in the Phoenix Dynasty.

It is a routine practice for princesses of the Phoenix Dynasty to send someone to take care of their consort.

You have to be controlled before you get married?

That would be completely unreasonable.

Youlan said hurriedly: "His Twelve Highnesses are sensible and should not be like this."

"Tell him to get lost!" Chu Zhiyuan snorted and continued eating.

Youlan said: "She is a young woman."

Chu Zhiyuan sneered: "You were right, right? You're not a guard at all!"

Youlan said softly: "Your Highness, although this person is young, his cultivation is extremely powerful. It is said that he is a spiritual guard."

"Oh——?" Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows.

The threshold for a spiritual guard is the realm of spiritual transformation, and at least one spiritual martial art.

To reach such a standard at such a young age can be said to be a unique talent among thousands.

Such a character doesn't want to go to foreign battlefields to gain experience, reach a higher realm, and gain adventure?

Uncle Fifteen was so injured that he had no choice but to come back to recuperate. Could this young woman be injured too?

"Please come and meet me."

"Yes, Your Highness."

…

Under Chu Zhiyuan's gaze, a slender, graceful and swaying girl curled up.

She had a long sword hanging on her thin waist, and her white robe was as white as snow, spotless. She cupped her fists and saluted: "My subordinate, Li Yuzhen, has met the Prince Consort."

Chu Zhiyuan stared at her carefully.

Li Yuzhen is a beautiful girl with a straight nose.

The face carved from mutton-fat white jade is cold and calm, with slightly lowered eyes like a sword being sheathed.

It doesn't show any edge, but shows a straight and upright attitude.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at her with wild eyes, from her smooth forehead, to her trimmed eyebrows, bright phoenix eyes, straight nose, to full red lips, and then down to her straight and elegant snow neck, plump peaks, and slender waist.

A bunch, covered by a broad robe.

His eyes fell back on her face and he said calmly: "Why did you leave Lingwei?"

Li Yuzhen said calmly: "My subordinates have been transferred out by order and come to protect the Prince Consort."

"You came here specifically to protect me?"

"yes."

"...I'm really flattered." Chu Zhiyuan chuckled: "If I die, will I miss the important events of your Phoenix Dynasty?"

Li Yuzhen was silent, her eyes kept lowered.

"I didn't expect that one day I would become a very important person." Chu Zhiyuan squinted at her: "You also have the responsibility to monitor me, right?"

"Your Majesty, my subordinates have no such responsibility."

"You just protect me and don't care about my other business?"

"This subordinate is ordered to protect the Prince Consort and ignore all other matters."

"Well...it's rare." Chu Zhiyuan said, "If you say that, I would be reluctant to drive you away."

"The prince-in-law drives me away, and there will be other guards coming until the prince-in-law agrees."

"Did the princess appoint you?"

"……yes."
