The Emperor's Palace, in the imperial study of the side hall, is a place where Xuanyuan Yan usually retreats from the dynasty and is specially used to review and read the folds, and few people disturb it, so most of the time it is very quiet.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Yan was sitting at the desk as always, holding a brush in his hand and concentrating on reviewing the folds, while a father-in-law with a new face was serving him beside him.

Since Huang Tian's rebellion and death, Xuanyuan Yan has kept an eye on it, and carefully selected an ordinary person who is trustworthy and has never had cultivation himself to be his new father-in-law, so that even if he rebels again, it is impossible to hurt him at all.

It was at this moment that this calm atmosphere was suddenly shattered.

"Crunch-"

Suddenly, the closed door was pushed open from the outside.

"Father, I have an important matter I want to discuss with you!" Xuanyuan Qiao'er walked to the desk and looked directly at Xuanyuan Yan, and said straight to the point.

"You go down first!"

Hearing Xuanyuan Qiao'er's words, Xuanyuan Yan raised his head and glanced at her in some surprise, and after seeing that her expression was extremely serious, he frowned and let his father-in-law go down.

"Yes!"

When my father-in-law heard this, he walked outside without hesitation, and closed the door before leaving.

"Qiao'er, there are no outsiders now, why is it so urgent?" Xuanyuan Yan put down the brush and asked unhurriedly.

Xuanyuan Qiao'er didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Father, I want to go to the border to practice!"

Xuanyuan Yan's brows furrowed slightly, "Why? Can you tell me a reason?"

Xuanyuan Qiao'er smiled slightly, "Father, I have a total of two reasons!"

Xuanyuan Yan looked at Xuanyuan Qiao'er with interest, "Let me guess, one of them must be because of that kid with Han Yuyi, right?"

Xuanyuan Qiao'er was quite surprised, "Father, what do you know?"

Hearing Xuanyuan Qiao'er say this, Xuanyuan Yan said helplessly, "Except for Han Yuyi, I really didn't expect you to be like this." ”

Xuanyuan Qiao'er stuck out her tongue, "Then do you disagree with the Emperor?"

Xuanyuan Yan smiled faintly, "You talk about the second reason first." ”

Xuanyuan Qiao'er said with a steady look: "My second reason is that I have always been under the protection of my father in this impregnable palace, although the cultivation realm has improved rapidly, but there are few opportunities for actual combat experience, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for my strength to exert the power I should have!"

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yan nodded understandably, "Yes, if a cultivator pays too much attention to the blind cultivation realm, but does not conduct actual combat training, his strength will not be able to exert 100%. ”

Xuanyuan Qiao'er hurriedly continued in agreement, "So, father, my metallic martial qi in these four months, after breaking through from the mid-stage realm of a martial general to the late realm of a general, the speed of improvement will decrease again, and if I always take pills, sooner or later it will have a big impact on my future potential, if this is the case, it will be worth the loss!"

"Qiao'er, so what exactly do you want to say?" Xuanyuan Yan was already like Spiegel in his heart at the moment, but he still wanted to hear what powerful reasons his daughter would use to persuade him next.

Xuanyuan Qiao'er pondered for a moment, "Just a little cultivation has an impact on adapting to strength, and taking pills will also shake the foundation, but I heard that often under the tempering of life and death, the speed of strength growth will be very rapid, and the combat power exerted can even be challenged beyond the level, so Father, I want to go to the border pass to experience it, that is, for my future consideration, and at the same time, it can be regarded as making some contributions to the Heavenly Emperor!"

"Hehe, Qiao'er, I didn't expect you to be able to say it like this, which made your father and emperor a little moved!" Xuanyuan Yan looked at Xuanyuan Qiao'er with a look of surprise.

Xuanyuan Qiao'er stroked her hair a little embarrassed, "It's gone, I'm just feeling it." ”

Xuanyuan Yan asked with a smile, "This trip, is there anyone else besides that cold wing?"

Xuanyuan Qiao'er saw that Xuanyuan Yan's attitude was a little relaxed, and immediately replied excitedly, "In addition to me and Brother Yuyi, Zhang Rufeng of the Treasure Pavilion, and Li Yuyan. ”

In the end, Xuanyuan Qiao'er was obviously a little reluctant, and seemed unwilling to mention Li Yuyan at all.

"Oh, these people are among the most qualified of their peers. ”

In fact, Li Yuyan's talent and qualifications are good, it's just that she cherishes heavenly things and didn't like cultivation in the past, judging from the speed of her cultivation now, she is not much worse than Han Yuyi and other geniuses, but she started a little late, and sooner or later she will be able to catch up with them, so Xuanyuan Yan didn't have the idea of underestimating Li Yuyan.

Xuanyuan Yan's fingers kept tapping on the desk, constantly weighing the pros and cons of this matter in his heart.

Then, I saw Xuanyuan Yan stand up, put his hands behind his back, and turned his back to Xuanyuan Qiao'er.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Qiao'er stared at Xuanyuan Yan with a nervous face, and her heart was beating "thump", because she understood that the results were about to be announced, how could she not be nervous?

However, Xuanyuan Qiao'er also had other plans, if her father agreed, it would naturally be the best, once she didn't agree, she couldn't let Han Yuyi and Li Yuyan get along everywhere, so she had to sneak out of the palace and go to the border with Han Yuyi and them.

"Alas, the eldest woman is not staying!" Xuanyuan Yan sighed, "Qiao'er, if my father's guess is correct, if I don't agree, you will definitely sneak out and go with them, right?"

"Huh?"

was poked by Xuanyuan Yan at a moment, and Xuanyuan Qiao'er couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Knowing his daughter Mo Ruo's father, how could Xuanyuan Yan not understand his daughter's temper, now it seems to be even more conclusive.

"That's it. Xuanyuan Yan shook his head, "Qiao'er, as you said, the carefully cared for grass in the greenhouse, once it encounters tribulations, its vitality is not as strong as the wild grass that has experienced wind and rain in the wild all year round, I have to admit that you have successfully impressed my father, I, agreed!"

After saying this sentence with difficulty, Xuanyuan Yan suddenly felt that his heart was empty, as if something important was missing all of a sudden, after all, Xuanyuan Qiaoer has lived by his side since he was a child, this time apart, it was still the eldest girl on the sedan chair, the first time, how could he be willing?

But Xuanyuan Yan thought about it, no matter whether he was reluctant or not, he would not delay his daughter's future because of himself, and he couldn't protect her for the rest of his life.

Xuanyuan Qiao'er was overjoyed, "Father, do you really agree?"

Xuanyuan Yan took a deep breath of turbidity, suppressed the sadness in his heart, turned around and looked at Xuanyuan Qiao'er helplessly, "I said so, can I still tease you?"

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Qiao'er was excited, and immediately rushed up and hugged Xuanyuan Yan's arms.

"Father, you are so good!"

Because Xuanyuan Qiao'er always thought that this matter, her father would definitely strongly oppose it, but the final result made her feel incredible.

Xuanyuan Yan patted Xuanyuan Qiao'er's soft and boneless shoulder, "Qiao'er, promise my father one thing." ”

"What's the matter?"

Xuanyuan Qiao'er didn't leave Xuanyuan Yan's broad chest, but just raised her head and looked up at him.

Xuanyuan Yan is a full 1.87 meters tall, and Xuanyuan Qiao'er is barely over 1.7 meters, so the sense of security it brings her can be imagined, and Xuanyuan Qiao'er has always relied on Xuanyuan Yan.

Xuanyuan Yan looked at the daughter in his arms gently, "From now on, your father will not protect you anymore, you must adapt to independence and take care of yourself, but it is best to come back to visit your father more often every year!"

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Qiao'er's eyes instantly moistened, "Father, I know!"

Xuanyuan Yan smiled slightly, raised his hand and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes for her, "Qiao'er, how old are you, why do you cry your nose at every turn, if you go out into the world like this, you will be ridiculed by others." ”

Sure enough, when Xuanyuan Qiao'er heard this, she immediately burst into tears and smiled, and sneered, "Father, you are so bad!"

Xuanyuan Yan let go of Xuanyuan Qiao'er, "Okay Qiao'er, you go down first, Father still has a lot of chapters to be reviewed here." ”

Xuanyuan Qiao'er reluctantly said: "Father, the child will retire, but I promise that I will come back to visit you often in the future, and you must also take care of your health!"

Xuanyuan Yan's nose was a little sour, in order not to let Xuanyuan Qiao'er see his embarrassment, he immediately turned his head sideways, and pretended to be impatient and waved his hand, "Okay, okay Qiao'er, my father knows, you go!"

Xuanyuan Qiao'er stomped her feet angrily, glanced at Xuanyuan Yan and snorted, and left the imperial study directly.

Xuanyuan Yan looked at Xuanyuan Qiao'er's back with a very complicated gaze, "Qiao'er, the chicks will still spread their wings and soar one day, come on!"

After saying this, Xuanyuan Yan returned to the desk a little lonely, lowered his head and looked at the pile of music in front of him, his heart was mixed, and he was not in the mood to read it for a while.

"That's it, let's not approve it yet, drink a cup of tea and wake up!"

Xuanyuan Yan sighed, got up and walked towards the door.

Just as one of Xuanyuanyan's feet was about to step out of the door frame, something strange suddenly happened.

"Yan'er!"

The familiar voice came from behind, Xuanyuan Yan's body stiffened, and he quickly turned around to look over.

In the originally empty room, on top of the guest seat, the gray-haired Xuanyuan Bo was sitting there unexpectedly, looking at Xuanyuan Yan with a smile.

Xuanyuan Yan was scared out of a cold sweat, thanks to this is his father, if this is a bad assassin or something like Tumo, he didn't know that he didn't know that he died unconsciously.

"Father, why are you here, aren't you in retreat and cultivating?" Xuanyuan Yan sat beside him with a smile on his face, and asked very strangely, because since his father abdicated, he no longer paid attention to the rights and wrongs of the outside world, and had been in a state of retreat and cultivation, unless there was a crisis of national annihilation and other 100,000 times of urgency, just like the big war a year ago.
