Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 131 Ruthless

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Brother Cheng, which beauty are you looking at?"

He came to the window and looked across the street.

Just then, Li Hongzhao looked over, her charming eyes filled with captivating brilliance, curiously gazing at Chu Zhiyuan.

She naturally noticed Cheng Tianfeng's prying eyes but was too lazy to pay attention.

In her heart, she had already lost her apprehension towards Cheng Tianfeng.

A defeated opponent, after his realm was suppressed by her, she felt his spirit had dissipated, making it difficult for him to pose a threat again.

Even if he became a Grandmaster in the future, he wouldn't be able to threaten her.

A casual glance revealed that the person on the other side had changed, a handsome and compelling figure, yet his eyes were as calm as water, seemingly unmoved by her beauty.

This piqued her interest, and she couldn't help but focus her gaze.

She suddenly felt that he looked familiar and immediately remembered that she had seen a portrait of this person, the Fourth Prince of Da Jing, Chu Zhiyuan!

The heir of Prince Qing, Chu Zhiyuan, the one who defeated Cheng Tianfeng and was known as the number one heir of this generation.

"Fourth Prince, why not come over for a meeting?"

Li Hongzhao suddenly stood up, came to the window, waved her jade hand, and smiled enchantingly, radiating dazzling beauty.

Her voice traveled leisurely, passing through the hustle and bustle of the street without dissipating, clearly entering his ears.

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled lightly.

Li Hongzhao was putting on a show, demonstrating the ability to transmit sound secretly, a skill possessed only by Grandmasters.

Compared to the secret sound transmission of the Innate Realm, this was a qualitative improvement.

Secret sound transmission in the Innate Realm could only be done in the immediate vicinity, and without interference, while secret sound transmission in the Grandmaster Realm was clear and far-reaching.

The distance depended on the realm and cultivation of each Grandmaster.

"Greetings, Ninth Princess."

Chu Zhiyuan cupped his fist and stood at the window, saying, "I won't disturb you.

If you're done talking, I'll take Ruoling back."

Li Hongzhao smiled and said, "So you're here to find your future Princess Consort.

Miss Huang is here too, why not come over and chat?"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, "I won't disturb the Princess."

Li Hongzhao suddenly reacted, her phoenix eyes gleaming: "So, the Fourth Prince is already a Grandmaster!"

Her face was full of smiles, exquisitely beautiful and radiant.

But she was shocked in her heart.

Regarding Chu Zhiyuan, after coming to the capital, she had conducted in-depth research through secret agents, carefully studying this mysterious heir of Prince Qing.

There was only one judgment: a martial arts prodigy.

Especially after entering the Innate Realm, his speed was absolutely astonishing.

There were many martial arts prodigies in the world who progressed rapidly before reaching the Grandmaster Realm but were ultimately stuck before becoming Grandmasters.

The faster the progress, the easier it was to get stuck.

Of course, there were also some geniuses who eventually stepped into the Grandmaster Realm.

No matter how fast Chu Zhiyuan's progress was, he might be the former, stuck before becoming a Grandmaster, having to search for a long time for the path to becoming a Grandmaster.

Therefore, most people didn't really take his progress to heart.

A genius who hadn't been tested by the path to becoming a Grandmaster wasn't a true genius.

But now, Chu Zhiyuan had stepped into the Grandmaster Realm so quickly, proving that he was not only a genius but also a genius among geniuses.

From then on, his weight would be different, and his position in the Da Jing royal family would be completely different.

Then he coldly said, "The one I'm looking at isn't your woman, it's the Ninth Princess!"

"The Ninth Princess is a Grandmaster, you can't beat her."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "You can't afford to provoke her either."

"We and Da Meng are enemies anyway."

Cheng Tianfeng snorted, "Aren't you enemies with Da Meng?"

"She has a Great Grandmaster following her."

"It's not like he's the only Great Grandmaster in Yujing City!"

"Provoking her won't affect Da Meng, but it will anger Da Meng, leading to retaliation, which outweighs the benefits."

"In the end, it's just that you want to collude with Da Meng in private, no wonder you've been hesitant to sign the alliance."

"Brother Cheng, the reason we haven't signed the alliance is because your Da Zhen delegation is too stubborn, insisting that I marry a Da Zhen princess."

"Would it be wronging you to marry our Da Zhen princess?"

Cheng Tianfeng sneered, "It's not like we're telling you not to marry Xiao Ruoling."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "There's always a first come, first served."

"Then let's have two consorts standing side by side."

Cheng Tianfeng snorted, "This is already our biggest concession, Da Jing, don't go too far.

If you don't agree, then it means you're not sincere about forming an alliance!"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, "I don't want to marry a Da Zhen princess."

"Our Da Zhen princess isn't good enough for you?"

Cheng Tianfeng sneered, "You're just a prince, not a prince!"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "It's not because she's not good enough, it's just that I don't want so much trouble.

How can I concentrate on cultivation if the inner courtyard is not peaceful?"

Cheng Tianfeng frowned, staring intently at Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Brother Cheng, I don't need to lie to you, right?"

"...I have so many prince consorts and concubines, and I don't feel that the inner courtyard is not peaceful!"

Cheng Tianfeng snorted, "It depends on your means.

If your means are not enough, even if you only have one princess, the inner courtyard will still be uneasy!"

Chu Zhiyuan laughed.

He suddenly felt very strange.

Cheng Tianfeng had suddenly become strange, becoming much more sincere, no longer hostile, but with a bit more closeness.

This 180-degree turn made him stunned, half-believing and half-doubting.

"The key is to be fair.

If you can't be fair, then it's true that you won't be at peace.

If you can be fair, then no matter how many women you have, they will all be honest."

"If you really use affection, how can you be fair?"

"Use affection?"

Cheng Tianfeng laughed, with an extremely amused expression: "Brother Chu, you're still thinking about using affection?

Deep affection is short-lived, and using affection will easily lead to cultivation deviation."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned and said nothing.

He knew the saying that deep affection is short-lived, but he had never heard that using affection could lead to cultivation deviation.

"These are all my heartfelt words, a secret transmission!"

Cheng Tianfeng disdainfully said, "Using affection means losing yourself, which is a great taboo in practicing Kung Fu.

It will be difficult to improve your cultivation further.

Don't believe me, try it!"

He looked at the window and then retracted it, snorting, "The one you're going to marry is the number one beauty in Yujing, it's inevitable that you'll be moved.

If that's the case, you're done for!"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "The mental cultivation methods we practice are different, so we can't generalize."

"Well, no matter what mental cultivation method, the principle is the same, don't believe me, just try it!"

Cheng Tianfeng sneered, "You just wait to be caught up by me and be severely dealt with by me!"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled without saying a word.

This statement was too extreme.

If that were really the case, then wouldn't every Grandmaster and Great Grandmaster be a ruthless person?

But looking at Ji Dongxiao, you can see that this statement is not right.

It still depends on each person's mental cultivation method.

Cheng Tianfeng's words can only be listened to halfway, or even not even halfway.

He has super-perception and can subtly perceive what others can't perceive.

It's better to discover it for yourself.

At this time, in the Bilin Pavilion, Li Hongzhao smiled and said, "Xiao, your prince has already finished his closed-door cultivation and is waiting across the street."

Xiao Ruoling was stunned and quickly got up to look out the window.

Earlier, she saw Cheng Tianfeng's gaze probing from the other side of the street, so she avoided the window.

The opposite side couldn't see her, and she couldn't see the opposite side either.

Chu Zhiyuan also got up at this time and waved to her at the window.

Xiao Ruoling's beautiful face blossomed with a smile, a smile like thousands of flowers blooming together, breathtakingly beautiful.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "If you're done chatting, let's go back."

These words traveled leisurely to the opposite side.

Xiao Ruoling nodded lightly.

She turned around and smiled, "Your Highness, Chieftain Huang, I'm going back."

"Go, go, you must be restless."

Li Hongzhao smiled and said, "How about we get together for tea next time?"

"Okay."

Xiao Ruoling readily agreed, turned around and left, and soon went downstairs.

Coming downstairs, she saw Chu Zhiyuan already standing downstairs waiting.

She suddenly felt her heart pounding violently, her cheeks burning hot, a little shy, but couldn't help but look at Chu Zhiyuan.

Her eyes were moist, filled with captivating brilliance.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at her with a smile: "Let's go, let's go back to the manor."

"Yes."

Xiao Ruoling nodded lightly.

He nodded slightly to Huang Shirong, who came out afterward, and walked side by side with Xiao Ruoling, not taking a carriage, and heading into the distance.
