Chapter 35 - Duan Zhengchun's probing

Seeing Ling Xiao's handsome and innocent face that was as warm as the sun s rays, the cheers from both sides became even louder, the fame overshadowing Duan Yu, the Prince.

"Sect Master Ling, I never thought that you would have such a high profile. So many people are cheering for you." Princess said in surprise.

Hearing this, Ling Xiao laughed and shook his head: "Actually, this is my first time here, so this is also the first time they have seen me."

Hearing this, Princess couldn't help but raise his brows, becoming even more surprised. "That's right, this is the first time I have seen you, and I have never heard of you before."

"In the current circumstances, I can only say that I am more attractive." Ling Xiao smiled.

Hearing that, Princess nodded silently.

Dali's Imperial City was not very big, but it was extremely luxurious. Dali's specialty was Dali Stones, and buildings made of Dali Stones could be seen everywhere. It had to be known that the rich families outside all owned large areas of Dali Stones.

The arrival of the Princess gave the quiet Imperial Palace a hint of liveliness.

"Welcome, Princess!"

Following the sound of a voice, the musicians who had been gathering their strength and ready to go began to play. The music was melodious and melodious, it should be Princess's favorite song.

All of these were enough to show the high status that the Princess had in the Imperial City. It also showed that the Southern King of Dali, Duan Zhengchun, doted on his wife very much.

Therefore, accompanying Princess to the Imperial City was a particularly beneficial thing for Ling Xiao.

Under the guidance of their followers, they finally arrived at Duan Zhengchun's residence.

This was an extremely large courtyard. Although it was not particularly luxurious and beautiful, it was a unique scenery, which meant that Duan Zhengchun was a rather interesting person.

Upon entering the Main Hall, he discovered that there was a middle-aged man who had the aura of a person in power sitting right in the middle. Presumably, that person was Southern King Duan Zhengchun.

"Husband, I've made you wait for a long time." The Princess looked at the man in his seat and smiled.

Hearing that, Duan Zhengchun got up and walked over to Princess's side, supporting her to sit on his seat, "Madam, what are you saying, you've come all the way here, it's all thanks to you."

Although the Princess had left the Dali royal family because of Duan Zhengchun's unrestrained nature, he still retained some feelings for the man he loved deeply. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to the monastery, but instead, to a temple.

She actually personally poured tea for Princess. It was obvious that she was very satisfied with Princess's performance, but in Ling Xiao's opinion, this was more like a feeling of guilt towards Princess's betrayal.

After settling down the Princess, Duan Zhengchun finally looked at Duan Yu at his side. With his perception, he instantly noticed that Duan Yu's body was extremely weak.

It was unknown whether it was because Ling Xiao was standing far away or because he had concealed his presence, but only then did Duan Zhengchun notice him. Furthermore, he had a face of vigilance and doubt.

"This is?" Duan Zhengchun raised his eyebrows.

Hearing that, Duan Yu almost jumped up in fright, his head lowered continuously as he apologized.

Seeing that, Ling Xiao helplessly shook his head: "Whatever you say, Prince Duan is wrong, if Gongzi Duan knew some martial arts, such things would not have happened, and even knowing that Gongzi Duan did not know any martial arts, he should have sent some people to protect him."

It was obvious that he was displeased by what Ling Xiao had said. After all, as the Southern King of Dali, Ling Xiao was just the helper of a gang.

Facing Duan Zhengchun's disdain, Ling Xiao did not get angry, and said indifferently: "However, you do not have to worry about him in the future. As his Master, I will properly teach him."

Hearing that, Duan Zhengchun could no longer hold it in, and frowned: "Is there no one in my dignified Dali capable of teaching him?"

"Humph!" Then why is Yu Er being bullied up till now? " The Princess at the side could no longer bear to watch any further, and snorted coldly.

Duan Zhengchun never thought that the Princess would actually help an outsider, and said angrily: "Isn't it because this brat doesn't have any aspirations, he doesn't even learn from teaching him!"

"Isn't that your problem? If you were to use snacks, would he be able to refuse you for a lifetime? All he knew was that he would be out drinking all day! But I don't know what to do! " Princess was also furious. It was clear that all the grudges in his heart over the years were still accumulated …

Seeing this scene, Duan Yu also became nervous. It was clear that he did not expect his parents to quarrel over him.

"Yu Er, you are tired too. Go back and rest. Princess still doted on her son. Knowing that Duan Yu would be very embarrassed here, he tried his best to suppress his temper and said.

After Duan Yu heard this, he sincerely paid his respects to Dao Baifeng and Duan Zhengchun and then left.

Only Ling Xiao and the other two remained.

"Tell me, what happened?" Although Duan Zhengchun did not dare to lose his temper at Dao Baifeng, he was not polite to him.

"I believe that all the Prince Duan s know about it, and there is nothing else I can say. Furthermore, Gongzi Duan volunteered to have me as his master. Could it be that you also have to blame me for this?" Ling Xiao said indifferently, without the slightest fear.

Dao Baifeng also coldly said: "It's fine that you don't care about Yu Er, but now that there's an expert guiding him, could it be that you want to interfere and disturb him?"

Hearing that, Ling Xiao said indifferently: "I wonder what the standard for Prince Duan to judge this matter is, because my status is not high enough?"

"Because your strength is not enough!" Duan Zhengchun said coldly, his words full of disdain. If it wasn't for the fact that Ling Xiao had saved Duan Yu before, he probably wouldn't have said those words.

"Oh? You must know that those who have fought with me, do not dare to ridicule me in terms of strength. " Facing Duan Zhengchun's disdain, Ling Xiao showed a lot of doubt, and it could even be said that he was being arrogant.

But to Duan Zhengchun, it was the opposite of ridiculing him.
