Chapter 88 - 88: The Battle Between the Princes
For a moment, most of the people had left. It was as if they had discussed it beforehand and left the space for them.
The atmosphere was strange, awkward, and strange. It was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.
As if their hearts were connected, their eyes met. They saw strange emotions in each other’s eyes. They separated after a light touch.
There was silence again.
He stopped playing chess as if he had pressed the pause button. Time stood still at this moment.
A person with a bad temper would probably curse.
After an unknown amount of time.
The two of them had a tacit understanding, or rather, their hearts were connected! They actually spoke at the same time. “Have you comprehended the old master’s manuscript?”
“Did you break through?”
Zhang Ronghua was the one who said the former, while Ji Xueyan was the one who asked the latter. “You go first!”
Puchi!
Ji Xueyan’s defense was broken, and her cold face could no longer be tense. Her long curved eyelashes were like crescent moons, fluttering slightly. Her bright and deep big eyes had a more worldly taste, and less coldness. She was like a down-to-earth big sister next door. She instantly became relaxed and had a faint smile on her face.
This was a rare sight. She had always had a cold expression on her face, as if she was born this way. Even when she was with the Grand Tutor, she was like this. Under normal circumstances, she rarely smiled!
Zhang Ronghua smiled.” At your age, it’s the golden age of a woman. You should smile more. Don’t give yourself too much pressure. It’s good for your spirit. ‘”‘
“Watch your words!”
Yue Ya walked over with two fruit platters. Seeing that the chess pieces on the chessboard hadn’t moved, she asked curiously,””ls it very difficult?”
He handed over a spirit fruit.
Zhang Ronghua didn’t stand on ceremony. He had already washed the spiritual fruit and opened his mouth to bite it.”A little!”
He stopped being distracted and continued playing chess.
After half an hour, the black pieces had already formed a counter-attack momentum, forcing the white pieces to a dead end. Even if the old master came, facing this situation, he could only raise his two white eyebrows and stroke his beard. He said,”l lost!”
“You win!”
“Chess is one of the six arts of a gentleman. Don’t take winning or losing too seriously. Cultivate your character and relax appropriately.”
Ji Xueyan nodded and took out the old man’s manuscript. She placed it in front of him and said,’”‘lt’s useless to me.”
Zhang Ronghua didn’t want to take it. He was afraid that the two of them were too involved, but his hand didn’t listen to his command. He took it obediently and said, “Thank you!”
He put it into the Five Dragons Spirit Controlling Belt.
After pondering for a moment, he felt that this was not good. It was impolite not to reciprocate. Should he return the favor?
If the Crown Prince knew, would he have other thoughts? Mistaken that there was something between them?
He would extinguish this thought and use another method to repay her. It would be safe and would not let the Crown Prince think too much.
“Recently, I have gained a different understanding of Righteousness Qi. I hope it will be useful to you!”
He walked to the empty space.
Mobilizing the Righteousness Qi, a majestic golden light rushed out of his body. It was holy and righteous, and it was as if he was bathing in sunlight, dispelling all negative emotions.
He controlled them and demonstrated his comprehension of the Righteousness Qi.
After a while.
He stopped, put away his Righteousness Qi, and cupped his hands.””Farewell!”
Ji Xueyan felt conflicted. She had received news that Zhang Ronghua had just comprehended the Righteousness Qi not long ago. Had he mastered the Righteousness Qi to this extent in such a short period of time?
Just based on its usage, combat, and understanding, he was actually inferior to
Moreover…
His Righteousness Qi was very majestic, even stronger than that of an ordinary Great Scholar. Although he thought so in his heart, he did not show it on his face and ordered, “Help me send him out of the residence.”
Moonfang nodded.
Outside the Grand Tutor’s Mansion.
Zhang Ronghua left and took out the old master’s manuscript. His gaze became complicated. He put it away and looked at the sky. How good would it be if she wasn’t the princess of the Grand Tutor?
There was a desire called ambition that grew from the bottom of his heart. His gaze was unprecedentedly firm.
Once the matters with the Crown Prince were settled, he would be able to transfer to the Scholar’s Hall and officially enter the officialdom. He would use this opportunity to climb up and work hard to raise his official position. Then, he would weave a huge net that would surpass the imperial power and be able to overturn everything. Other than that, he would have to work hard in terms of cultivation. When his power reached the peak, with his own strength as the foundation, no one would be able to shake him. He would be able to face the Great Xia Dynasty head-on and not fear anyone!
He made up his mind to start preparing now.
The Flood Dragon Guards and the Crown Prince’s personal guards were already in their hands. Even after they arrived at the Scholar Hall, Zheng Fugui would help to watch over them. If others wanted to make a move, they would not be able to do anything.
The Scholar Hall was an opportunity to reach the heavens in a single step.
With his ability, it was not difficult for him to gain a firm foothold. With the help of the Crown Prince’s influence, he would soon be able to make a name for himself.
They arrived at the Eastern Palace.
After a while, the Crown Prince returned from the palace. From his expression, he did not get any useful information. He called him into Xuanhe Hall and closed the door.
There were no outsiders present.
The Crown Prince couldn’t hold it in any longer, and his face lit up with joy. Ever since Zhang Ronghua had taken up his position in the Eastern Palace, he had never seen him so happy. He had always had a cold expression, and the immense aura of a superior made it difficult for people to breathe.
“Don’t just stand there, sit!” “What happened to you?”
“Father wants me to take two hours a day to study government affairs in the royal study,” the Crown Prince said with a smile.”
Government affairs included memorials, sudden events, and so on. No wonder he was so happy..
