monopolize my master

"I heard that you did a good job in Donghui City, and your reputation has spread to Saibei." Ling Yun sneered, "It's all right for my younger brother to behave mischievously at home. I don't know when he became so overwhelmed. As an elder brother, you How can I sit idly by?"

Ling Yun's words were harsh, and everyone under the steps couldn't help whispering.Ling Xiao in the hall was numb from his smile, and was dumbfounded for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

Although my elder brother treats me harshly in every possible way on weekdays, it is the first time to refute my face in front of so many people.

Ling Xiao was also at a loss for a moment.

Ling Yun is five years older than herself.Because the Lings and his wife were busy with business, little Ling Xiao was entrusted to Ling Yun to take care of them.Ling Yun had very strict requirements on him, he sought out the best master in Donghui City for poetry, ceremonies, music, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, etc. He required him to strive for perfection in everything.

Ling Xiao has a stubborn temper, and confronts Ling Yun in everything.Ling Yun was tepid, and whenever Ling Xiao cried, he would pick him up and throw him into the small dark room.Ling Xiao was terrified of the dark, sobbing heartbreakingly in the house, but Ling Yun was determined and remained indifferent.It wasn't until Xiao Lingxiao sincerely repented and confessed to himself in tears that he was willing to give up.

Although when he grew up, he understood a little bit of his elder brother's painstaking efforts, but Ling Xiao still had a heart for things when he was a child, and it was difficult to get close to him.Every time he heard others say that his elder brother treated him so well, Ling Xiao felt mixed feelings.Looking back on the past, Ling Xiao could only swallow a bag of tears in his stomach silently.

Later, Ling Yun passed the palace examination and was appointed as a military officer of the imperial court to guard the border. Only then did Ling Xiao truly escape from the nightmare.Ling Xiao, who had no restraint, was complacent, and began to hang out in the brothel Chuguan.Brother Tiangao is far away, even if he hears the rumors, he is very itchy, and he can't come to teach himself a lesson.The proud Ling Xiao put aside his brother's earnest teachings before leaving.

"Does Lord Ling have any opinion on the Taifu of this palace?" Su Huang frowned, quite displeased, "If Lord Ling Yun is here to watch the competition, please go to the direction of the ring with the director. Don’t blame Bengong for asking you to leave for trouble if you come to Donggong.”

"Prince, please don't be angry. I heard the news and came to watch His Highness compete." Ling Yun hurriedly cupped his hands to apologize, and smiled gently, "However, it is really rare for His Highness to favor such an unknown Taifu. Xiao also has some skills, and was able to catch His Highness's eyes. I invited a distinguished guest to come here today to compete with His Highness in martial arts, and I believe His Highness will also want to see him."

"How is the second brother?"

Everyone followed the sound and saw that the person who came was a young swordsman about twelve or thirteen years old.The boy was dressed in a plain white shirt, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, handsome in appearance, but somewhat similar to Su Huang.However, the aura around the two is completely different.This young man was tall and awe-inspiring, with a shrewd and heroic general's demeanor that made people fearful, but Su Huang was not as old as him, and under the majestic royal demeanor, he was a little more refined and gentle.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help talking.The person who came was none other than Yin Chao's eldest prince, Su Huan, who had lived outside the palace for a long time.

Su Huan's background is not prominent.His mother, Mrs. Li, was originally a female official of the Huanyi Department, and by chance, she got the blessing of the current emperor.Speaking of which, Mrs. Li was also blessed with profound blessings. After one night of grace, she became pregnant with a dragon fetus, and the emperor was childless.After October, Li Guiren gave birth to Su Huan, who was granted the title of Mrs. Third Grade.However, due to his birth, the emperor could not make Su Huan the crown prince.As a result, Su Huan was frequently squeezed out and framed in the palace.Mrs. Li is an extremely intelligent woman. When Su Huan was seven years old, she sent him out of the palace to practice martial arts.As a result, although the mother and son didn't have much time to meet each other, they saved their lives.

And the master Mrs. Li found for Su Huan outside the palace was Ling Xiao's elder brother Ling Yun.

"I don't remember that elder brother said that he would come today." Su Huang saluted, showing a little respect.

"Brother, I haven't been back to the palace for a long time. I heard about such a big event as soon as I entered Donghui City, so I begged Master to bring me here, and entered the palace rashly. Please don't blame me, Your Highness." Su Huan replied.

"Brother has worked hard." Su Huang still had a calm face, "Lord Lao Ling took me to let us two brothers meet again today. Please sit over there."

"It's rare for brothers to reunite. On such a happy day, wouldn't it be a pity if Your Highness doesn't compete with the First Prince?" The corners of Ling Yun's lips curled up slightly, "To tell you the truth, the First Prince and His Highness searched for him before he came. Mr. Qi Hong fought against him, but unfortunately lost and was injured. Mr. Qi Hong is young and heroic, with a strong body. I fear that the crown prince will be damaged, so I dare to ask the two highnesses to compete. If the crown prince wins, the minister will ask The emperor asked for an order to voluntarily go to the border for three years in order to forgive the offense committed today. If the eldest prince wins, His Highness must abide by the agreement before the competition and drive Taifu Ling out of the East Palace. I wonder what His Highness wants?"

Oh, contest?Ling Xiao sneered.

This Ling Yun clearly wanted to force Su Huang to discredit her in front of everyone, so that she would never gain a foothold in Donghui City again!

Ling Xiao's chest seemed to be severely suppressed by something.

What did you do?Let him not hesitate to offend the prince, but also let himself lose face and have no way out?Let him have such resentment towards himself?

Su Huang also frowned, looking embarrassed.Of course he knew his situation.Although the swordsmanship taught by Ling Xiao is unique, his own internal strength is insufficient, and he cannot exert the power of this move to the extreme.But his elder brother Su Huan was different.He has been tempered by Ling Yun's side since he was a child, and has suffered a lot. How could he lose to a fledgling boy like himself?

Originally, he wanted to teach Ling Xiao a little lesson, but now——he shot himself in the foot.Looking at Ling Xiao, who was helpless with dull eyes, Su Huang secretly made up his mind.

"Just as Master Ling said."

"Please." Su Huan bowed his hands and walked towards the competition stage first.

"Impossible!" Ling Xiao grabbed Su Huang's collar and stopped him in a low voice, "I saw that your brother is very hostile, aren't you going to die?"

"...Don't worry, I will win." Su Huang shook Ling Xiao's hand, and said in an extremely firm tone, "It doesn't matter if it's Qi Hong or brother. Today is a must for me battle. Master Ling, do you understand?"

"I want you to stop calling me by my name after you win the ring, and to call me master."

Ling Xiao suddenly remembered the agreement the two had made fifteen days ago.He looked at Su Huang who was much shorter than himself, his heart felt warm for no reason, and the hanging boulder suddenly fell to the ground.

"What? Isn't it an appointment? Don't tell me you forgot." Su Huang looked at Ling Xiao who was stunned, showing a long-lost smile, shining like the stars that night by the Weiming Lake.

"You're right, I was too worried." Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled, "When you come back triumphantly, Master will cook and roast meat for you."

Seeing that Ling Xiao finally cheered up, Su Huang took the dagger from Ling Xiao's hand and walked towards the ring.On the other side of the ring, Su Huan and Ling Yun were already ready.

Standing under the stage, Ling Xiao couldn't help but sweat secretly for Su Huang.

"Assigned."

The audience below the stage fell silent, and their eyes followed the two of Su Huang above the ring.Ling Xiao was even more confused, not knowing what to do.And Ling Yun, who was calm and composed at the side, made Ling Xiao even more uneasy.

He obviously came prepared.

"Both sides are ready, the contest begins!"

Su Huang tapped the lotus step lightly, skillful in moves, and took the initiative to attack Su Huan, intending to make a quick victory.The moonlight danced, shining brightly, as if it didn't give Su Huan a chance to breathe. Su Huang used 49 changes in a row, and the moves were subtle. Although the strength was not enough, this move alone was amazing. .Under the fierce attack like rain, Su Huan was gradually overwhelmed, so he could only dodge mechanically with his sword, retreating step by step.

Su Huang is not willing to let go. After Form 49, Su Huan felt a little untenable for a while.Su Huang pressed on step by step, and with a move of "Slash with Angry Steps", Su Huan dodged sideways, and a strand of black hair was chopped off by Yuehua Sword.

"I underestimated the enemy." Su Huan steadied his pace and said with a light smile, "However, that's the end of it."

"Brother, don't say it too early."

Su Huang sneered, turned and twirled, and attacked with his left hand, intending to strangle his vital parts.Seeing this, Su Huan resorted to "Meteor Random Steps", which deflected Su Huang's successive attacks one by one.

After dismantling a few more moves, Su Huang's 72-style swordsmanship has been completely eliminated.He gradually lost his strength.Su Huan, who had been in a passive state before, finally took the opportunity to turn the situation around.

"I've seen flamboyance too. It's time for His Royal Highness to be serious." Su Huan chuckled, "Your Highness, be careful."

The shining sword pierced obliquely, Su Huang was startled, and hurriedly dodged.Taking advantage of Su Huang's distraction, Su Huan used "Meteor Random Step" again, different from Cai Cai's successive retreats, this move was as fast as the wind, and flashed behind Su Huang in an instant, intending to take Su Huang down in one fell swoop .

"Meteors are walking randomly..." Ling Xiao's hands were densely covered with a layer of cold sweat.Ling Xiao knew how terrifying his brother's original killing skills were.

"I'm afraid you don't need this trick."

Su Huang sneered, Yuehua drew a beautiful arc in the air, turned around, and stabbed directly at Su Huan's right arm.Su Huan quickly retreated and dodged.Su Huang seized the opportunity and leaped forward, while Su Huan stepped back to block.Suddenly, the blue light flowed, and the edge of the moonlight appeared, but Su Huang suddenly turned the sword and hit the ground directly. He jumped up with his strength and turned to Su Huan's side. The whole set of movements was done in one go, as fast as the wind.When Su Huan came back to his senses, Yuehua's sword was already on his neck.

"My master's reputation, but your master Ling can ruin it at will." Su Huang smiled and looked at Ling Xiao who was under the stage, showing off in a childish way,

"Master, can I use my move "Liufenghuixue" well?"
