Early in the morning, the announcement board outside the Cliff Palace was fully packed with people. Everyone held their heads and tiptoed to see if what was written on the board was true, because the announcement this time was truly too unexpected and unbelievable.
"By the heavens …" The people standing at the very front of the Emperor Leaderboard kindly read the contents of the Emperor Leaderboard. Their voices were loud enough for all the spectators to clearly hear, but they were not satisfied with what they heard. They had to see it for themselves to give up.
Even if he was a fool, he was still a prince. Even if he was a secondary concubine, he was still a concubine after all. Many women couldn't wait to marry into the Cliff Palace even if they wanted to.
A one-time love? Love each other? Could this be the truth? Trash likes ugly, fool likes idiots … Was it really a match made in heaven?
Slowly, everyone began to believe what was written on the leaderboard. Since the result was already decided, they couldn't not believe it. These matters were always decided by the powerful ones. Since when did it have to be them?
Alright, now there's another hot topic for lunch and tea.
The passersby in front of the Emperor Leaderboard gradually disappeared, revealing three well-dressed youths within the crowd. These three youths looked to be in their twenties, but the mature and steady temperament they emitted far exceeded their age range. Especially the violet-clothed youth that stood in the middle. His eyes that were filled with a gentle smile had an even more scheming expression. His eyes stared fixedly at the words on the leaderboard, his gaze gradually growing deeper.
"Second brother, we actually let that damned girl get away with it this time. I really don't like it!" The man to the left of the violet-clothed youth pouted and said unhappily.
"Yeah, this damn girl's luck is pretty good. She can't die even like this!" The man on the right of the violet-clothed youth stared at the leaderboard with eyes that were filled with viciousness.
"Second Brother, should we do something? "So that that damned girl …" The man on the right continued.
The violet-clothed youth raised his right hand, indicating for the two of them to be quiet. Then, he turned around and left the crowd. The two youths immediately followed and stopped talking.
That girl had caused their second brother to lose face. With his personality, he wouldn't let her off easily. The more silent Second Brother was, the more gentle his smile was. This meant that there would be a good show to watch. They just had to follow second brother and watch the show.
On a summer's morning, the sun had already risen high up in the sky. Just as Bu Jinghua finished meditating, a knock came from the door.
"Jinghua, are you up? Grandfather is coming in! " So it was Bu Batian. From the moment Bu Jinghua left the main hall, Bu Batian had been shocked to this day. His mood was truly indescribable, and even now, he still suspected that the scene was not real.
"Mn, grandpa, come in!" Bu Jinghua casually rolled up his hair and opened the door.
"Shocking!" Bu Batian lightly called out, revealing an unconcealable smile.
"Grandfather, is something the matter?" Bu Jinghua led Bu Jingtian into the house, sat down and served tea.
"Yes!" Bu Batian nodded and gave a serious look to Bu Jinghua, "Jinghua, you must have reached the peak of your physical strength!"
"Yes!" Bu Jinghua nodded as he did not understand his intentions.
"Good, very good! To be able to improve so fast in just a few days, very good!" He nodded his head in satisfaction. "I don't care what made you change so much, as long as you improve, it won't be a bad thing!" Just like back then when his talent was rather high and then suddenly turned negative, this world was full of wonders, so Bu Batian no longer asked about the reason.
What is important now is:
"Have you touched the threshold of the inner strength stage?" If you have any difficulties, just tell me, okay? " Bu Batian kindly said.
"…" Looking at those kind eyes, Bu Jinghua laughed. It was the first time he laughed without any scheming in his heart.
"Grandfather, I want some cultivation methods to cultivate inner strength!" Bu Jinghua's words made Bu Jinghua feel even happier and more gratified. "Good, good, good. Even if you don't ask, grandpa will still give it to you today!" He beamed as he took out three books. One was about luck, one was about Wind Breaking Palm, and the other was about the brilliance of each step.
Bu Jinghua had seen the might of both the Wind Breaking Palm and the Stunning Steps. In a one-on-one fight, the power of the Wind Breaking Palm was incredible, but Bu Jinghua was much stronger in terms of his continuous attacks and breaking through the encirclement.
"Step by Step" was one of the unique moves of the Bu Clan, and he was not allowed to train his inner force up to Stage Four. This was because he had to have a strong inner force as a shield when circulating it, or else he would quickly exhaust all his inner strength and put himself in danger.
Now that her grandfather had given her every step of the way, this was absolutely out of Bu Jinghua's expectations. She originally wanted to give up on the Wind Breaking Palm, but who would've thought that she would still have to use it?
Bu Jinghua puzzledly looked at Bu Batian.
"Wan'er, you actually used 'Amazing Step by Step' that day …" Bu Batian looked at Bu Jinghua and smiled, "I believe you should be interested in each and every step of the way. As long as you're interested, that's good. If you're interested, that's faster." Bu Batian's understanding of his grandfather's expression allowed him to realize that his grandfather knew that he wasn't trying to scare him, but was just spouting lies to scare him.
Unexpectedly, just because of a single sentence from her, he gave her the skill. Right now, she had no way to protect it. If she accidentally allowed it to fall into someone else's hands, it would be a great danger to the Bu Clan. Grandpa probably thought about it, but he still gave it to her.
"Grandpa …" Holding that manual, Bu Jinghua didn't know what to say. She hoped that Bu Batian would think this through. This was a serious matter.
"Jing Hua, I heard from grandfather that your innate talent has returned. Every step of the way, you will be shocked to death sooner or later, and I can give you more details now, there's nothing wrong with that! But, you have to remember, unless you have reached Stage Four Inner Qi or if you have no other choice, do not force yourself to use Stage Four Inner Qi. This will affect your safety, do you understand? " Bu Ba followed the path of heaven.
"Yes, I know, Grandpa!" Bu Jinghua nodded and kept it in his arms.
"Silly girl, how can you be like this? You don't even know how to comb your hair! I know you don't like Little Ju, but if you're like this, you should have a little girl waiting on you. When you get to the fourth prince's mansion, you must also have a personal maid to take care of you! " Bu Batian's tone was exceptionally gentle. He picked up a comb and started to comb Bu Jinghua's messy hair.
"Hehe, Grandpa, you're right!" With a mischievous smile, Bu Jinghua made Bu Jingtian extremely happy.
Bu Batian's words made him recall that stubborn little girl with a long whip that refused to lower her head and admit that there was no mistake — the small path.
If Bu Jinghua hadn't been hungry enough to go to the kitchen to look for food at that time, the little girl would have already been beaten to death by the whip.
And that little chrysanthemum? Hmph, don't think that just because she was Bu Jingfeng's conceded maid, she wouldn't dare to provoke her. She still wanted to find Bu Jingfeng to settle the score, yet a mere maid dares to fight against her?
Bu Jinghua thought of a plan and said, "Grandfather, aside from Little Ju, I also want a little girl! "Can I?" Although the Bu Family was a large family, in order to prevent future generations from being pampered, they could only have a master and a maid. Of course, they had to keep their promises, so this was also the reason why Little Ju was always in the kitchen, unable to go to Jing Feng's side.
Now that Bu Jinghua has spoken, Bu Batian did not want to refuse: "That's fine too, even if we are marrying into their concubine, our Bu Family cannot lose face. We can't just marry anyone with good intentions, let alone a maid. Then, choose the maid you like and bring it over! "
Wangfei? It seemed that his grandfather cared a lot about this matter. Bu Jinghua knew that his grandfather was helping him to redress his grievances. However, she didn't place any importance on this concubine. She would leave sooner or later anyways. What kind of concubine could she be?
"Thank you, Grandpa!" Bu Jinghua smiled as he thought of the miserable days ahead. His eyes became even colder.
Outside, the sun was shining brightly, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. Such a summer was actually quite interesting. When Bu Jinghua stepped out of the room, he was ecstatic. Just a moment ago, he was seriously reading the three books given to him by his grandfather and was even cultivating his Luck Skill. Surprisingly, he found a small stream of warmth circulating within his body, filling her with an extraordinary amount of energy.
Could this be inner strength? The martial arts of the Xuan Wu Continent were indeed profound.
"Bu Jinghua …" As soon as Bu Jinghua stepped out of the room, he heard someone calling her name. This person was none other than the Bu Jingwan who had a front tooth broken by him.
Looking over, Bu Jinghua's eyes slightly narrowed. He felt quite dissatisfied with the fellow who suddenly appeared.
Seeing the change in Bu Jinghua's expression, Bu Jingkong actually winced a little. However, he soon smiled coyly and ran over with a smile. He then called out, "Sister …"
What an awkward way to shout it? Even Bu Jingwan himself felt awkward, but he seemed to be quite willing to do so.
Bu Jinghua didn't hit the smiling person and ignored him. However, he was quite satisfied that this guy already took her words seriously.
He knew how to call her "Sis". Not bad, not bad. Furthermore, this fellow had confessed his mistake in front of so many adults yesterday. He could be considered a man.
Bu Jinghua no longer disliked Bu Jingwan.
"Sis!" he cried again. He followed behind Bu Jinghua, but it was a pity that Bu Jinghua did not want to bother with him and continued on his own path.
Seeing that Bu Jinghua treated him as a transparent person, Bu Jinghua really wanted to get angry. However, he thought that he was too ignorant in the past and loved to bully others.
But "where the sincerity is, the stone is open", he thought that he will always move the other, so did not abandon the following, quietly like a shadow.
