"Also, I will be staying here for the next few days to have an in-depth discussion with Lord Shangguan about the future development and direction of the City Defense Battalion."
"As long as there's no riot in the Imperial City, anyone who dares to disturb us..."
"I, Xu Shan, climbed over your wall in the dead of night, leaving you with nothing but tears in your eyes when you saw your own wife."
'puff. '
"Haha."
Upon hearing this, someone couldn't hold back their laughter, causing the whole room to burst into laughter.
"Please rest assured, sir. We dare not."
"withdraw!"
After saying that, all the lieutenants left in a hurry.
Shangguan Yan'er, whose face was flushed red by Xu Shan's actions, was about to open her mouth to scold him when she heard someone outside shouting, "Within the radius of several dozen meters from Lord Shangguan's residence, not even the barking of dogs is allowed."
"Yes!"
"Xu Shan, I..."
'Hush! '
"Among these dozen people, I deliberately left behind an old man from the Northern Marquisate. I need to use him to let some people in the capital know that I have been with you for the past few days."
"Ok?"
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yan'er frowned and asked, "Do you have a mission?"
"Yes! There are two tasks. The first one requires your cooperation."
"what?"
"The Heavenly Master has ordered me to help you awaken your 'innate bloodline' in front of the Mountain of Books and the Sea of Martial Arts."
"you……"
"Hurry up, I will stay here for three days at most."
"I still only have a limited understanding of the Tantric teachings. We need to explore this together."
As he spoke, Xu Shan pulled Shangguan Yan'er, whose face was flushed, and ran towards her residence.
Before nightfall, the sound of two people discussing martial arts could be heard in the room...
'Ding dong! '
Just when Xu Shan was immersed in practice and unable to extricate himself, the system, which had been unresponsive for some time, suddenly sounded a prompt.
【After the host's in-depth study, he has begun to understand the true meaning of "Joyful Zen".】
'Ding dong! '
[God rewards hard work. After the host's tireless efforts, he has mastered the first sixteen forms of 'Joyful Zen'.]
'Ding dong! '
[The sea of learning is boundless and the journey is arduous. Thank you, host, for your hard work. However, you have benefited greatly in the past few days and have already mastered the thirty-seven forms of 'Joyful Zen'.]
'Ding dong! '
When Heaven bestows a great responsibility upon a man, it will surely subject him to hardship, both in mind and in body. Through the host's unremitting efforts, he has thoroughly mastered the physical meditation of 'Joyful Zen'!
……
The fourth day and night, midnight!
Xu Shan changed into casual clothes and walked out, holding his waist.
Looking at Shangguan Yan'er meditating in the room, Xu Shan smiled bitterly with a slight smile on his face, "My dear Fei Han, the ancients were not wrong!"
After saying that, Xu Shan disappeared into the city defense camp under the cover of night.
Not long after he left, a shrill phoenix cry suddenly resounded throughout the capital.
"Chiu..."
Immediately afterwards, a series of fiery red shadows hovered above the city defense camp.
The next second, the phantom gradually materialized.
After hearing the news, many soldiers who left the camp were shocked when they saw this scene and asked, "A Fire Phoenix?"
'Chirp.'
As soon as they finished speaking, the phoenix transformed into a solid form and flew into Shangguan Yan'er's boudoir, then disappeared in an instant.
"My goodness, is Lord Xu so fierce?"
"Did you force Lord Shangguan to reveal his true form?"
"A role model for us!"
"Haha."
'Shhh. '
"Are you looking for death?"
Having said that, there was laughter in the city defense camp.
Inside the palace!
'Pah-ta-ta.'
Master Yuan Tianshi, sensing something, stepped out of the imperial study.
Zhu Youwei followed closely behind him and looked towards the direction of the city defense camp with him.
"Tianshi, this is..."
"A phoenix is coming!"
"This is a sign that Yan'er is awakening her innate bloodline."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. After this journey through the Mountains of Books and Seas of Martial Arts, Your Majesty now has another peak Heavenly Punishment expert by your side."
Hearing her own Heavenly Master's words, Zhu Youwei nodded heavily and said, "Is it Xu Qing's credit?"
"This... should be it! I gave them the secret method of [Joyful Zen]."
"Master, what you're implying is that I'm almost there too, right?"
"Yes."
At this moment, Zhu Youwei's mind appeared with the tall and majestic figure of Xu Shan, and her cheeks turned a girlish blush.
Then she thought of something else and said sternly, "Tianshi, do I have to leave the city to welcome Prince Ning?"
"Prince Ning has just quelled the Tusi rebellion and is a meritorious official. According to etiquette, Your Majesty should welcome him."
"Hmph! Heavenly Master, the Tusi Rebellion was orchestrated by him. He even used this as an excuse to openly challenge the Dali Kingdom, which had submitted to me..."
