"That suits you." Baili Mingyue saw through Hong Zhong's doubt and slowly spoke out: "Martial arts require a young age to be cultivated, and not something that can be mastered in a single move. Furthermore, the secret manual for the peerless martial arts technique requires the coordination of internal energy in order for it to display its power, lass, you don't have any internal energy right now so you can learn some simple self defense techniques and the chant for light arts. Once the foundations are set, this king can give you an excessive amount of pure energy from within your body, and at that time, you can use internal energy to control light arts."

"Wow, that's great!" Hong Zhong looked at the secret manual in his hand, her eyes shining. In other words, she was not far from becoming a chivalrous hero and a female chivalrous hero! While flipping through the manual in his hand, she asked, "Uncle, how long does it take for a normal person to learn this?"

Baili Mingyue pondered for a moment, "That depends on the person. The youngest is at least three months, or at most three years. Of course, there will be people who will be unable to learn it in their entire lives." Martial arts. Although diligence can make up for incompetence, it was only a basic skill. Genuine martial arts techniques required talent!

"Uncle, how long do you think I'll need to learn it?" Hong Zhong asked as he flipped through the booklet.

If it was before, he had suspected that there were similar beings, but this morning, when Hong Li appeared, he was convinced that the little girl in front of him was the legendary Third Miss who could fight a hundred enemies in armor! Although he didn't know why she had lost her original memories and inner strength, he believed that the talent of the Red Third Miss wasn't a rumor!

Hearing that, Hong Zhong swept his eyes across him with an approving look, his eyes filled with a smug look: "Uncle, you have good eyes!" In fact, Hong Zhong had also learned basic fighting techniques from Second Sister, who was a special guard. Thus, when she looked at the basic defensive techniques written on the booklet, she easily understood them.

Hearing Hong Zhong's words, Baili Mingyue laughed: "Girl, study hard. After you learn it, I will pass on my pure strength to you. As long as you practice hard, you will be able to control your Qing Gong very quickly.

"Yes, yes." Hong Zhong hugged the booklet lovingly, unwilling to let it go.

Seeing the earnest expression on the little girl's face, Baili Mingyue's heart softened. Actually, compared to her wanting to do everything by herself, he would rather have her stay under his wing and live a peaceful life. He murmured, "Girl."

"Hmm?" Hong Zhong turned and look at him.

Staring at her blankly, he finally shook his head. "I'm fine."

He wanted to tell her that he was willing to protect her for the rest of her life. He wanted to grant her a lifetime of peace and security, that he wanted to hold hands with her and spend the rest of his life with her … However, this girl was still young. He was worried that he would scare her, so he didn't dare to speak carelessly. Right now, his heart was tangled like never before!

… ….

Hong Zhong stirred the fire in front of him as if it were a fire, and spoke out as if she was saying, "Uncle, can you bring me to the night market to play once more sometime, please?" For some unknown reason, she always felt happy when she was with Baili Mingyue, and the sense of pressure she felt on the verge of death also disappeared without a trace.

Baili Mingyue turned to look at her, nodding, "Fine."

"Heh heh …" "Alright!" Hong Zhong quickly dug out two roasted sweet potatoes from the fire and gave one to Baili Mingyue: "This is National Temple, there's no meat to eat, only sweet potatoes. Do you want me to give one to you?"

Baili Mingyue shook her head, indicating that she wasn't hungry.

Seeing that he did not want it, Hong Zhong kept it and looked at him mysteriously: "Uncle, do you usually only love to eat meat and not food like me?"

"No." Baili Mingyue shook her head once again.

Hong Zhong peeled a roasted sweet potato and took a bite: "You really don't want it? "If you don't want it, I'll eat it all!"

"Right."

As Hong Zhong ate the sweet potato, she sighed and said, "If you don't eat this, it can actually be understood. Why would the high and mighty Regent eat this? However, let me tell you, this thing is truly delicious. It's really a pity that you don't want it. I'm not giving it to an ordinary person! " As she spoke, she carefully wrapped another sweet potato and prepared to give it to Qing Ya.

The night wind of early summer blew gently, the sky was full of stars, and the moon hung high in the sky.

As Hong Zhong was eating the sweet potato, she looked at the person in front of him. Her head suddenly twitched and asked in a strange tone, "Uncle, do you think seeing each other at night like this can be considered a secret romance?" Her identity was the future imperial concubine, and he, was the Regent. At this time, in this scene … It seemed like there was a clandestine love affair in the melodrama!

"Cough cough …" The corner of Baili Mingyue's mouth twitched, choking and coughing a few times, "It shouldn't be true."

It was not only Baili Mingyue, even the nearby Wu Hen, who had been hiding in the darkness all this time, was choked by Hong Zhong's brainless words. How could she say such things about adultery? Cough cough … This Third Miss's brain, was not something an ordinary person could think of!

"Yes, yes. Actually, what I want to ask is if we're on a date? Even though I was sealed by the late emperor himself, I still haven't gotten married to Baili Yi Chen. Strictly speaking, we're both single, so it can't be considered a clandestine relationship! " Hong Zhong thought about it seriously and spoke with certainty.

After he finished speaking, Hong Zhong was also a little confused, why is there something wrong with the last sentence! Scratching his head, he was just thinking about how he could change his words to ease his awkwardness when he heard a soft voice, "It's fine."

Wu Hen, who had calmed down with great difficulty, finally gasped for breath, and heard Hong Zhong earnestly correct her previous mistakes, holding her forehead deeply. Although a date is better than a secret relationship, you should at least correct it.

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard his master say, "Calculate." And so, Wu Hen, who was hiding in the dark, felt a little coerced. His face, which was filled with grief and indignation, became blank in an instant. His master was … Confession?

Right at this moment, a black shadow landed beside him, slapping him on the shoulder. "Boss, what are you looking at?" With that, they turned to look at the direction Wu Hen was looking.

"Why are you here?" Wu Hen threw a glance at the hand on his shoulder with his arms crossed, and spoke coldly. This person was Wu Shang, whom they had not seen for a long time. Previously, he had been sent all the way to Xi Ling to take care of the Bright Moon Restaurant. From the looks of it, he had just returned, shouldn't the Duke Palace take a break?

Baili Mingyue had four Dark Guard leaders under his command.

Wu Hen, the leader of the four Dark Guards, had been serving Baili Mingyue at close range, mainly responsible for Baili Mingyue's safety.

Wu Shang was one of the leaders of the Dark Guard. He was responsible for taking care of all the businesses under Baili Mingyue's command and was in charge of scouting the various countries' information.

Leng Xing was one of the leaders of the Dark Guard. He had always been in charge of various matters within the Southern Qi, but was transferred to Xi Ling not long ago to take over from him.

Leng Ye was the only female guard amongst the four great hidden guards, and was mainly responsible for assassinations. Currently, she had also gone with Leng Xing to Xi Ling, so all of the Wu Shang s had to hurry back.

"Of course I have something important to attend to." Wu Shang grabbed Wu Hen's shoulder, and looked over to where Wu Hen was looking at: "Oh yes, I heard that Master found that girl? Is it that guy over there? "

Wu Hen turned to look at him, "Didn't you say there is something important? You're still concerned about this at this time? "

"Important things are also prioritized." Wu Shang laughed sinisterly, as if he had discovered an adulterous relationship: "I am asking you, is it true or not? What's the situation over there? "

"Look for yourself!" Wu Hen speechlessly glanced at Wu Shang. Wu Shang shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, he continued to look at Baili Mingyue and Yue Yu, saying, to be able to get Master to look for someone for more than twenty years, he must be different from the masses!

"What!" Hong Zhong turned her head in disbelief, her eyes wide open as she looked at Baili Mingyue, her mind filled with thoughts of the calculation Baili Mingyue had mentioned. He has the final say?! Did Uncle have the final say just now?

However, when she saw Baili Mingyue's face, which was still as beautiful as a goddess, she wondered if she had misheard! How could Baili Mingyue say such words?! Thinking back to the two times where he had been having a dream, Hong Zhong was sure that he had been dreaming the same thing just now!

She was a single woman, yet she kept having romantic dreams with a man. Wasn't this a little too … Cough cough. Suddenly, a bad premonition arose from the bottom of his heart. Could it be … Could it be … Was he secretly in love with this Regent Uncle?

She picked up the sweet potato and took two bites to feign calmness, but her eyes unconsciously glanced in the direction of Baili Mingyue. She was still dressed in her pure white brocade robe, with a face as beautiful as a fairy, and a cold and proud temperament. Uncle Regent is still a worthy person to have a crush on.

As he thought of this, he suddenly felt even more embarrassed.

He was indeed the Regent, and he was indeed very handsome. However, he could not give what he wanted, nor could he give it to Baili Yichen. Therefore, he had to get rid of these thoughts that he shouldn't have!

Facing the cold gaze of Baili Mingyue, she awkwardly laughed, "The night is really dark tonight."

When Baili Mingyue saw Hong Zhong's awkward expression, she finally spoke slowly, as if she had made up her mind. "Girl, what if I say that I like you?" Her beautiful eyes were bright as she quietly scanned Hong Zhong's face. Naturally, she did not ignore his blank face after saying that.

What if I said, I like you?!

These words were like a clap of thunder, making Hong Zhong feel weak on the outside! He said he liked her? Thinking about what she had done after meeting him. Hit the princess, stir up trouble in the academy... One was the aloof and unsullied Regent, the other was a disreputable playboy who knew nothing but death. Did he like her?

There was no reason for this!

He turned his head to look at Tang Wulin with a blank face and asked in a muffled voice, "You, what did you say?"

"Little girl, I like you." Baili Mingyue said this once more seriously. Since he had already blurted it out, he might as well do it again. Even though he knew that his feelings for her were not as simple as' liking 'her.

It was just as he had said. If he didn't even dare to try, how could he control his own life? If he didn't even dare to express his inner thoughts, how could he ever work together with her and live alone?!

Even if she didn't accept it, he had no regrets. At the very least, he had experienced it!

On the other hand, Wu Hen and Wu Shang, who were spectating quietly, almost stumbled to the ground after hearing what Baili Mingyue said. They didn't hear wrong, the master who was always so proud actually said to the Red House: Girl, do I like you?

Oh, my God, master actually confessed in the middle of the night? However, thinking about it, Master was already twenty-eight this year, so it was time for him to get married! To be able to find a manager mistress for the Shezhengwang's Palace, that would also be extremely good!

But, the target of the confession, the Red Third Miss … But the future imperial concubine! Master, why don't you care … Lun Chang!

Also, it was not that he was stingy, he had been in a state of bad luck ever since the first time they met. This Red Third Miss was definitely his nemesis!

, who completely didn't know Hong Zhong's identity, naturally didn't know of the conflict in Wu Hen's heart, and almost jumped up while hugging Wu Hen in excitement. Aiya, it's said that Master hasn't gotten close to a woman for more than ten years, but today, when he returned, he met his master's first confession in his life.

He excitedly held Wu Hen's hand, his eyes shining, his face filled with gossip: "Boss, whose family is that girl from now on, she's going to be our manager's mother, right?"

"She is Third Miss of the Imperial General's Estate." Looking at the excitement on Wu Shang's face, he said slowly, "This way, you might not know her, but she has another identity, the late emperor's personal imperial concubine."

When he suddenly heard Wu Hen's words, his face was filled with disbelief and he couldn't help but gulp down a mouthful of saliva, "Are you saying that she is the imperial concubine that the late emperor personally sealed sixteen years ago?"

"Yes." Wu Hen nodded.

"..." Mistress, you're too … It was not easy to describe!

"I …" Hong Zhong looked at Baili Mingyue's perfect face, and had tens of thousands of things he wanted to say. He opened his mouth, but didn't know where to start. In fact, she also knew that she should have liked him.

This kind of liking, no matter where he was or how dangerous it was, would cause him to feel an inexplicable sense of security the moment he saw him. This kind of liking, would cause one to feel an inexplicable longing for him before meeting him, and even … He was still a little fidgety!
