To Cultivate Immortality, You Need Luck

Princess Qing looked at Bai Xiangming's bewildered look, with a smile in her eyes, and stopped teasing him. Instead, she volleyed the newly drawn scroll in her hand and handed it to Kong Jiao.

"What do you think of Master's painting?"

Kong Jiao was shocked when he heard this, and he was already brewing words of praise in his mind before he even glanced at the scroll.

However, when he saw the portrait clearly, all the flattery was instantly cleared away, and a trace of sarcasm and surprise appeared on his face.

The painting depicts a young man holding a ferocious bow fighting a young general in armor.

The boy holding the bow's eyes were cold, his sharp edge revealed, and he shot an arrow, which hit the armored young general's chest.

Isn't this the scene when Kong Jiao fought with Jing Yushou not long ago?

Every detail is depicted just right, and the temperaments of Kong Jiao and Jing Yushou seem to come alive in this portrait.

The sharpness of the arrow was even more lifelike, as if it was about to shoot out through the scroll.

Kong Jiao wouldn't have believed it if Princess Qing hadn't seen it live.

"It turns out that Master's wife has been at the scene for a long time."

Kong Jiao gave a wry smile and had no choice but to swallow the compliments that came to his lips. He responded with a sneer, "Master, I don't know how to draw, but it looks good."

Princess Qing's intention was obviously not in the painting. She looked at Kong Jiao, without concealing the appreciation in her eyes, and praised: "You handled it well. Ashen Parasol Sect is already the number one sect in Wudong. When you come to Tianqi Imperial City, you can't Disgraced your master."

"That's a good shot."

Bai Xiangming looked a little strange after hearing this.

Although he and Jing Yushou didn't deal with each other, he was still from Tianqi after all.

My aunt is also from the royal family, so why does she feel like her elbows are turned outward?

But he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only laugh at the sidelines.

Kong Jiao and Shangguan Yuzhou's eyes lit up. Princess Qing's words undoubtedly made her position clear.

Kong Jiao was previously worried that his wife would be in a dilemma because of the conflict between Ashen Parasol Sect and Tian Qi.

Now I have no worries at all.

I couldn't help but secretly sigh: "As expected of Huangfuying's Taoist companion! It's not simple!"

He also understood why his master told him before taking him away that he could go to his master's wife if he encountered any difficulties.

In Tianqi, my wife, my wife, can be regarded as a supporter.

Princess Qing seemed to have something to say, and glanced at Bai Xiangming with her gentle, watery eyes.

The latter immediately bowed in understanding and excused himself: "Aunt, please talk slowly, I'll be waiting in the main hall."

In fact, Bai Xiangming also breathed a sigh of relief. If it weren't for the second prince, he really wouldn't want to come.

Don't look at Princess Qing, she is dignified and elegant now.

The legend of her youth is still circulated in the royal family. Even her father, Prince Qingluan, had to avoid her when he saw her.

There is no outsider like Bai Xiangming present.

Kong Jiao and Shangguan Yuzhou are obviously much more comfortable.

Putting his hands on the jade table, Huangfu Wuqin, who had never spoken, wrinkled his nose. There, Jiansheng complained to his mother: "As soon as I came to Tianqi, I was followed by others. I'm afraid I won't be able to live happily in the future. Mother. I’ll just run out tonight and forget it.”

Princess Qing didn't even look back, she counted on her fingers: "Have you met me, uncle? Besides, as a princess, how would it be for you not to meet the emperor when you come to the imperial city?"

"As for Jing Yushou's mother, your Aunt Anyang sent someone long ago to see you. And my brothers and sisters, as a junior, you can't refuse these."

After saying a series of names of the emperor's relatives, Huangfu Wuqin opened his mouth, his eyes full of pity.

"No, mother, my aunts and uncles total more than seventy."

"You won't let me go to see you all."

In fact, the only person who has the same father and mother as Princess Qing is Prince Qingluan, who is the closest to Huangfu Wuqin.

Huangfu Wuqin had never seen most of the other uncles, aunts, cousins, etc., and couldn't even name them.

"You are your father's only daughter. Do you think you will only go as the princess?"

Princess Qing's tone was calm, but there was no doubt about it.

"Wudong has been decided for the first time. Your father needs to keep a low profile for a while. Now Tianqi is Wudong's neighbor. With your relationship, there will be many places to deal with in the future."

"Don't let them find fault and look down upon your imperial family."

The words "Princess Qing and Huangfu's family" are very strong.

Huangfu Wuqin finally pursed his lips and gave up the struggle.

Kong Jiao and Shangguan Yuzhou listened silently to the mother-daughter conversation and did not dare to interrupt.

Until Princess Qing looked at Kong Jiao and asked meaningfully: "Does this painting look good?"

"It looks good!" Kong Jiaoan You dared to say it didn't look good.

"I'll give it to you if you like it."

"Thank you, Master!"

The two of them were asking and answering questions, and Princess Qing suddenly said: "Don't you have anything to give to your master's wife?"

Kong Jiao had previously wondered why Princess Qing suddenly asked about painting again.

He reacted immediately, took out the jade pendant that Huangfuying had given to him before leaving, and handed it to Princess Qing respectfully.

"Master, this is a token given to you by Master."

Princess Qing nodded with satisfaction and took it.

As she took out the jade pendant, she looked at Kong Jiao with a different look, a little more cordial than before, and warned:

"Now that there is a turbulent undercurrent in the Qi Dynasty, you should not get involved. Avoid it if you can. You and Shangguan Yuzhou have the status of Ashen Parasol Sect. As long as you avoid this whirlpool, there will be no big problem."

"The battle between you and Jing Yushou today can scare some people. However, there is no way to completely prevent this situation."

"You just need to remember one thing, don't try to kill me, and I can keep you safe."

What Princess Qing said was exactly the same as what Lei Zun said, so Kong Jiao and Shangguan Yuzhou quickly responded.

At the same time, I felt more confident in my heart.

The four of them chatted for a while, and of course the topic couldn't revolve around what they had seen and heard along the way.

"Master, I have something to report!"

Kong Jiao's face suddenly became serious, and he recounted the several terrifying visions they had seen in the wilderness during their trip.

Shangguan Yuzhou and Huangfu Wuqin added from time to time.

When talking about the giant snake in the black mountain, the strange claws in the volcano, and the short-lived water mountain, Princess Qing also frowned slightly.

That’s all.

After Kong Jiao paused and pondered for a while, he also revealed the prophecies about Gu Jiang's prophet that he had received from his father, Zai Qiaoqiao.

Among the three regions of Wudong, Tianqi and Yunmo, which region has the deepest understanding of Gu territory.

Naturally, it was Tianqi who had an old grudge against Gu Jiang.

Upon hearing the prophet's name, Princess Qing looked very cautious.

No one knows better than the Tianqi royal family how troublesome that Gu territory's prophet is.

The several setbacks suffered by the Tianqi Dynasty in the past hundred years all had the shadow of that prophet.

"The prophet of Gu Territory is indeed miraculous, and most of his predictions come true." Princess Qing had a deep fear on her face, and she also felt the difficulty of this matter.

"Since he said that there will be a great change in thousands of years, and he also contacted the tribes in Gu territory to go deep into the wilderness, he must not be without purpose. I am afraid that something big is going to happen in this wilderness."

Princess Qing was slightly anxious. The Tianqi Dynasty was now in the midst of the most intense internal strife in a century.

Ashen Parasol Sect has just established itself as the first sect in Wudong, and its foundation is not yet solid.

It happened at this time that such an unforeseen change occurred.

Whether it is for Tianqi or Wudong, it is a disaster rather than a blessing. (End of chapter)
