Chapter 6 Red Face
Seeing Nalan Ruoshui's figure disappear outside the courtyard gate, Chen Nan's head thuded.
"If I have a great background, if I have the power to make a world? yes, either case can change your fate. 」
"What a piece of wood! I'm not stupid or stupid, but when it comes, I ......," the old monster revealed its white head on the wall.
"Damn, dead old man, this is the nth time you've spied on me. So saying, he picked up a bamboo pole from the ground and stabbed it at the old man who had just climbed up the wall.
"Holy, boy, you actually prepared a bamboo pole a long time ago......
"Plop" The old man was stabbed.
"Oops...... Oh my God, my poor little green has been smashed again......
"I'm feeling sorry for that toad again!" Chen Nan turned and entered the house.
He couldn't calm down for a long time, and his heart was full of thoughts, and finally he slammed his fist on the coffee table, and a little golden light smashed the coffee table to pieces. He stood up open-mindedly and said to himself, "You can't watch Ruoshui sheep enter the tiger's mouth and force me to make a move!"
However, in the days since, Chen Nan has never seen Nalan Ruoshui again, and she has never come to Qishi Mansion again.
Chen Nan was secretly anxious and restless. The old monster sat on the wall, put on a deep face, and sighed, "Wood, you shouldn't have let her go alone that day. Happiness needs to be fought for by oneself, and when it drifts away, you can't catch it if you want to, but I hope you still have a chance, and don't regret it for the rest of your life! Alas, why do people always try to make amends when they are lost?"
Chen Nan ignored his nonsense, left the Qishi Mansion, and entered the royal book room again, he wanted to try his luck, hoping to meet Nalan Ruoshui there. But he was disappointed, and the administrator of the book room told him that Nalan Ruoshui had not come for the past few days. Annoyed, he casually pulled out a book from the bookshelf and flipped through it boringly.
Suddenly, an old sigh sounded behind him: "Alas!"
Chen Nan almost jumped up in fright, and turned his head to see that it was the old man who led him into the underground tomb.
The old man walked up to him tremblingly.
Chen Nan was terrified, not worried about the old man falling, he knew what a powerful power was hidden in this aging body, he was just worried about himself, he had always been unable to see through this terrible old man, and he didn't know if he would suddenly kill him.
"Hehe, young man, don't worry, I said, I have no ill will towards you, don't think too much. I really admire you, you have a spiritual root at a young age, and you can also pull the sealed Houyi Bow, and your future is limitless!"
"You know my identity?"
"Although I am old, I am not old and confused, and I still know some about the imperial capital, but I am too lazy to pay attention to those mundane things. 」
Chennan was taken aback.
The old man said, "In this life, alas, some people are destined to be just a passing guest in life, and as the years go by, these people will gradually fade away in their hearts without a trace. 」
"Ah......" Chen Nan was really shocked now, the old man's words were hidden, as if he was alluding to Nalan Ruoshui's affairs, and he felt as if his inner world was exposed in front of the old man. He secretly said in his heart, "This old man is really an old monster, unfathomable. 」
Chen Nan said: "Yes, some people are destined to be passers-by in life, but I will not watch the misfortune of friends who have crossed paths with me!"
The old man smiled, "Hehe, don't get excited, we're just chatting casually. 」
Chen Nan was a little apprehensive in his heart, and he didn't know why the old man found him again.
The old man suddenly said, "Young man, tell me, are you leaving the Chu Kingdom?"
"This ......," he was shocked.
"As I said, I admire you very much, and I really want to see how far a junior with infinite potential can climb in his cultivation in the future. So don't be afraid, I won't harm you. 」
Chennan was not convinced until now that this old monster was not going to harm him for any purpose, but it really wouldn't harm him at the moment.
The old man said, "At my age, although I haven't completely let go of the red dust, it's almost over, I only have cultivation in my heart, and I only want to transcend life and death. However, as you leave, I hope you don't do anything too much. 」
Chen Nan nodded nod, and neither did he shake his head.
"The imperial capital hides the dragon and crouching tiger, there are many masters, young people must not be impulsive!"
Chen Nan listened in a cold sweat. When he finally got up to take his leave, the old man's voice came from behind him: "Soon, I may be walking around the mainland, and perhaps we will see each other one day." 」
When passing by the Imperial Garden, Chen Nan stopped, and in the shade of green trees, he vaguely saw two familiar figures. He looked left and right, and saw that no one was passing by, so he performed a supreme light skill, turned into a faint shadow, and floated into the imperial garden.
The verdant pine, cypress, and bamboo in the garden are lined up with strange stones, and the hundred-year-old vines are entwined in the middle, and the garden is decorated with beautiful trees. And the bubbling spring water clarifies the little golden scales in the small lake, adding a lively atmosphere to this lush beauty.
Between the bamboo shadows, there is a delicate and unique pavilion, two beautiful figures stand in the pavilion, one is peerless, glamorous, the other is elegant and clean, delicate and exquisite.
Chen Nan's heart jumped, he had seen the faces of the two of them clearly, the former was the eldest princess Chu Yue, and the latter was Nalan Ruoshui, who had not been seen for a few days. He had seen the extraordinary cultivation of the eldest princess, and he didn't dare to get too close, for fear of being discovered, so he had to listen quietly from a distance.
Chu Yue took Nalan Ruoshui's hand and said, "Actually, Sima Lingkong is already very good, and there are a few young people in the imperial capital who can compare to him!"
Nalan Ruoshui was a little displeased, and said, "You actually speak for that womanizer?"
"If you misunderstand me, I'm just talking about things. Men are like that, what man doesn't covet beauty?"
"But I really don't have the slightest affection for him. 」
Chu Yue smiled bitterly: "In the eyes of the world, we are golden branches and jade leaves, a life of glory and wealth, carefree, but is this really the case? I think you and I have the answer in our hearts, our identity has caused us to lose a lot, for example, we can't talk about feelings with people before marriage, this is the sadness of being a noble girl. 」
Nalan Ruoshui sighed faintly, "What if I already have a little affection for someone?"
Chu Yue looked at Nalan Ruoshui squarely and said, "I have already heard what happened in Qishi Mansion that day, I guessed that you were just using Chen Nan to reject Sima Lingkong, you wouldn't really have any feelings for him, right?"
Hearing this, Chen Nan's heart jumped wildly.
Nalan Ruoshui looked at Chu Yue and said, "What if it's true?"
Chu Yue was a little surprised, and said, "How can you be with him, isn't this true? If you talk about appearance, he is far inferior to Sima Lingkong, if you talk about skills, let alone you, he has lost all his skills, and even you, a national player, can't rejuvenate with his skill, he has no hope." And he can't start cultivating again, to put it mildly, he's a waste now, and I don't have hope for him anymore. 」
These words reached Chen Nan's ears without leaking, although from another point of view, these are facts, but Chen Nan still felt extremely harsh.
Nalan Ruoshui twisted her face to the side and said, "You don't understand......" But she didn't continue.
Princess Celestia said, "If you are playing with fire, it is impossible for you to play with him. 」
"I know, that's why I haven't been to Qishi Mansion for the past few days. 」
"It seems that it was really a mistake to let you go to the Qishi Mansion to treat him in the first place. It's good that you don't get into it, time can dilute everything, or it won't be long before you don't remember this person. 」
Nalan Ruoshui turned around violently and said, "You're not trying to kill him, are you?"
A cold light flashed in Chu Yuefeng's eyes, and then she smiled, "How could it be? If I kill him, I will make you forget this experience, and I will kill him mercilessly. But I know that this will not do anything at all, and will only make you hate me for the rest of your life. Don't worry, I won't touch him, in three days it will be my father's sixtieth birthday, and after my father's birthday, I will give Chen Nan an official position and keep him away from the capital. This is good for you, for Sima Lingkong, and for Chen Nan. 」
Chen Nan saw the two cold lights in the eyes of the eldest princess, he knew that Chu Yue had murderous intentions towards him, and she would never give him an official position and keep him away from the capital. Now that he is a "wasted person" and has no "value", just for the sake of the little princess's reputation, she will not let him continue to live in the world, and it involves the children of the two important ministers in the court.
He felt a chill in his heart, he didn't expect the peerless eldest princess to be so scheming, he had never seen through this beautiful woman, until today he overheard her conversation with Nalan Ruoshui, and realized that she was terrible. Although from the other side, Chu Yue had to do this, but it could also be seen from her methods.
The eldest princess and Nalan Ruoshui talked for a long time. Chen Nan watched coldly, and saw it clearly, throughout the process, Chu Yue was trying his best to persuade Nalan Ruoshui to marry Sima Lingkong. will be discordant, not good for the country, for the sake of the country, she abandoned friendship.
Chen Nan vaguely saw the shadow of Taixuan in Chu Yue, who was also stunning in the world, full of wisdom, and unscrupulous......
Finally, Chu Yue said, "Let's go, go to my room, don't stand here. 」
Nalan Ruoshui said: "No, I want to be alone for a while, you can go back first." 」
Chu Yue was helpless and turned to leave.
Nalan Ruoshui stood alone in the pavilion and muttered, "If you have a prominent background, if you have a world-beating skill...... her eyes flashed with tears, and she left gloomily.
Chen Nan saw all this in his eyes, he clenched his fists and turned to leave.
Outside the palace, he got into a sedan chair, with two columns of samurai on both sides, and headed for the Qishi Mansion. It wasn't until today that he discovered Chu Yue's terrifying scheming that he understood the actual role of these two columns of warriors, protecting him on the one hand, and preventing him from escaping. He thought of the powerful warriors guarding around his courtyard again, Chu Yue could be described as a hundred secrets.
After returning to the Qishi Mansion, Chen Nan vaguely heard the voice of the little princess.
"Uncle Poison, just give me one. 」
The old poisonous monster said: "No, these treasures of mine are not raised to eat, last time you captured Xiao Jin and Xiao Lu, I haven't settled accounts with you yet, you actually came here again today." 」
"Because...... The delicacy made with your little snake is really delicious and much stronger than a regular snake. 」
The old poisonous monster was about to vomit blood, and said loudly, "I'm not a breeder, my treasure is not delicious, if you don't leave, I'm going to call that dead old woman who studies magic." 」
"Uncle Poison, what do you think this is?"
"Ah, firecrackers, what are you doing? Don't light them, my darlings will be spoiled!
"No, Jujo. 」
"Ah, kill me, these are rare breeds, very precious...... Ah, don't ignite, I'll give. 」
After a while, the old poisonous monster said, "Well, it's all in this bag. 」
"Uncle Poison, you're so nice, hehe. 」
"Uh...... You little girl, let's go. 」
"Hehe, goodbye Uncle Poison, don't send me, I'll come to see you often. 」
The old venom howled in grief.
......
Chen Nan was dumbfounded when he heard this, the little princess actually likes to eat snakes, and in order to satisfy her appetite, she actually threatened the old poisonous monster, this is really a veritable little devil.
After a while, the old poisonous monster appeared on the courtyard wall, looking like he had just escaped from anger, and said, "Just now, the evil little witch came to deliver the holy decree, and three days later, on the emperor's sixtieth birthday, all the strange people in the Qishi Mansion were invited to participate. Then he changed his words and said, "It is said that it will be very lively, a small country has sent three young dragon knights, and the gossip says that they will show off their skills at the banquet, and the young heroes of the Chu country will be assembled. 」
Chen Nan said, "What? What's going on?"
The old poisonous monster said, "That small country was originally a vassal state of the Chu State, but in recent years, it has grown in strength, and it has secretly received the support of an unnamed force, wanting to get rid of the control of the Chu State. This time, they sent three young dragon knights to demonstrate to the Chu State, if these three people overwhelmed the younger generation of the Chu State, it would be equivalent to a resounding slap in the face of the overlord of the Chu State. 」
Chen Nan looked indifferent and said, "Okay, fight for the freedom of the country and support the three national heroes. 」
The old poisonous monster looked nervously at the four sides, and said, "Boy, you don't want to live anymore, all these kinds of things are said?" According to secret and reliable information, these three people were already famous when they cultivated in the Western Continent, and then suddenly disappeared for three years. It is speculated that these three people have also reached the level of second-order cultivators at the very least, such terrifying strength is rare among the younger generation, and among the young strangers in Qishi Mansion, I am afraid that only that muscular male Sima Ling can defeat one person. 」
"Just now, the wicked little witch said that if anyone can resist those three dragon wizards, the emperor will have a great reward. If your strength is restored, this will be a rare opportunity! Just imagine, if you hold the Houyi bow in your hand and bend the bow to shoot the heavenly dragon, what a glorious and magnificent scene it will be! Just thinking about it makes people excited, and at that time, not only will you make great achievements, but will also move your name on the mainland, can the emperor not win over such a genius? If you want to...... Hey. 」
The old poisonous monster climbed down the courtyard wall and went to study poison.
Chen Nan stood in the courtyard, unable to calm down for a long time, and finally he clenched his fists and made a decision not to hide his strong strength anymore. He already knew that Nalan Ruoshui had his shadow in his heart, but he couldn't forget Yuxin now, and he couldn't start a new relationship.
But he also has a good impression of Nalan Ruoshui, remembering that she carefully helps him treat his body every day, and patiently teaches him to read and write, he is moved in his heart, he must not watch this Ruoshui misfortune.
He opened the gate of the courtyard and said to the few warriors guarding the courtyard, "Please report to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess immediately, saying that I have an urgent matter to see her. 」
Several samurai glanced at each other, and one of them quickly left. After about half an hour, he heard the voice of the eldest princess greeting the wizard of the house, and he knew that the time had come.
Chen Nan walked into the house and took out the Houyi Bow, gently rubbed the black bow back with his hand, felt the slightest fluctuation from the divine bow, and he began to run the family heirloom Xuangong. In an instant, a powerful force surged out of his body, and the bamboo forest in the courtyard followed the fluctuation of this force, trembling violently, shaking down the fallen leaves.
A little golden light, a faint golden light emanated from the surface of his body, Chen Nan was full of strong confidence, and the temperament of the whole person changed in an instant, and he was like two people before.
He placed a white feather arrow on the bowstring, lunged forward with his left foot, retreated with his right foot, held the bow to the sky with his left hand, and pulled the bowstring firmly with his right hand. Thousands of golden lights, thousands of colors, Hou Yi bow emitted thousands of rays of light, the bright light overshadowed the sun in the sky, Chen Nan and Hou Yi Gong were like flesh and blood, and the body was also golden and bright.
The light and mist around the Houyi bow were dense, and the golden light surged towards the white feather arrows like flowing water, and the wind and thunder bursted, and the heavens and the earth were discolored.
The powerful power fluctuation spread to the entire Qishi Mansion with Chennan as the center, and all the Qishi in the Qishi Mansion sensed this super power fluctuation, and everyone was shocked. With the help of the power of Hou Yi's bow, the powerful power exuded by Chen Nan has definitely reached the level of a fifth-order peerless master.
The eldest princess also sensed it, and with an incredible look on her face, she said to herself, "Could it be him? How is this possible, he really recovered?"
After reaching the strongest, Chen Nan easily opened his fingers, and the white feather arrow was like a shocking rainbow, flashing with dazzling light, breaking through the sky, and the thunder in the sky above Qishi Mansion shook loudly.
The golden light arrow rose above the white clouds, and suddenly exploded, and a dazzling strong light erupted in the sky above the imperial capital, and the afterimage left by the golden light arrow was like a lightning bolt from the sky that was connected to the Qishi Mansion.
Everyone in the imperial capital saw the vision in the sky, and there were bursts of exclamations.
All the strangers in the Qishi Mansion were shocked, and everyone showed an incredible look. All kinds of snakes and insects in the old poisonous monster courtyard swam everywhere, and there was chaos, and the flying dragon in Sima Lingkong Courtyard was trembling with fright and crawling on the ground.
Chen Nan looked up to the sky and roared, the sound shook the sky, he put the second white feather arrow on the bowstring, the wind and thunder rose again, and the powerful power fluctuations once again swept through the entire Qishi Mansion.
This time, the golden light arrow flew to the ground, and the radiant light arrow cut through the surface like a golden dragon, and went straight to the ground. A huge crack half a meter wide spread out in all directions with the arrow hole as the center, and the entire Qishi Mansion shook violently, and the houses in the mansion collapsed one by one, and the rumbling sound was indecisive.
At this moment, everyone within a radius of miles felt the earth tremble, and everyone was shocked.
After a long time, when everything was calm, more than half of the houses in the Qishi Mansion collapsed, and everyone standing on the ruins was stunned, and finally everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Nan.
This former ordinary young man is like being reborn, and at this time he exudes a powerful momentum that makes people feel awe.
The old monster was the first to come to his senses, and he couldn't help but howl, "Oh my God, my darling...... Who am I messing with...... It's bad enough to be next to a dead old woman who demolishes the house all day, but I didn't expect another guy who looks honest and responsible to be even more hateful, and actually demolishes the house......! Baby......
Sima Lingkong's face was extremely pale, his flying dragon was smashed, and the flesh and blood on his right flank were blurred. Seeing that the culprit turned out to be Chennan, anger surged in his heart, and at the same time, he was even more shocked and jealous of Chennan's terrifying power.
Chu Yue's eyes flashed, first in contemplation, then in joy, she saw the power of Hou Yi's bow with her own eyes today, the powerful power shocked her heart, such a power, more than a fifth-order master, now Chu State undoubtedly has another peerless master.
At the cries of the old monster, the old witch crawled out of the rubble with a piece of rubble on her head.
"Which bastard has collapsed my house? How can he dare to plot against me like this, and have the ability to fight me head-on. So saying, the old witch floated into the air, and when she could see what she saw, she fell from the sky again.
"Oh my God! It's comparable to a fifth-order magister, it's terrifying. 」
A large number of troops rushed here, and for a time the Qishi Mansion was in chaos.
Chu Yue immediately ordered the army to block the news here, and then changed a mansion for all the strangers, and sent someone to rearrange the residence of each of the strangers.
After dealing with these problems in front of him, Chu Yue brought Chen Nan into the palace and asked him in detail about the whole process of the matter in the secret room.
"Chennan, have you recovered your strength?"
"Yes, fully recovered. 」
"Great, I have another outstanding wizard in my Chu country, are you looking for me for this matter?"
"Yes, I want to tell the princess the good news. 」
"Why did you use the Houyi Bow to fire two arrows in a row, which not only surprised everyone in the imperial capital, but also destroyed the Qishi Mansion?" Speaking of this, Chu Yue's face showed an unhappy look.
Chen Nan sneered in his heart, he had already thought of a lie, and said, "After my strength recovered, the true qi in my body continued to grow, and finally I lost control and just wanted to vent out, so I pulled out the Hou Yi bow. The first arrow was shot into the sky, and the result was different in the sky, I was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, and the second arrow was shot to the ground, but I didn't expect the power of the golden light arrow to be so great, it actually destroyed half of the Qishi Mansion, please punish the princess. 」
Chu Yue's unhappy look disappeared, Zhan Yan smiled, and said, "What is the matter of a mansion, as long as your strength can be restored, you will have no problem destroying another one. 」
After asking about what happened, Chu Yue told him about the three dragon knights again, and asked him to prepare early, and if no one could resist these three people after three days, he would be sent to play with a Houyi bow.
After hearing this, Chen Nan said, "In this way, won't I, a hermit, turn darkness into light, and everyone will know it?"
Chu Yue said: "In the past, the reason why I asked you to be a hermit was to hide your strength and make it impossible for people to prevent it, but this time it's time for you to turn the darkness into light, and you must greatly boost the prestige of my Chu country. 」
Chu Yue and Chen Nan talked for a long time, and their attitudes were much more enthusiastic than before.
Chen Nan secretly sneered in his heart, and finally he got up and saluted Chu Yue, saying, "There is one thing I want to ask the princess to fulfill. 」
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"I want to marry Miss Nalan and ask the princess to fulfill it. Chen Nan has no better way now, so he can only push himself to the front and compete with Sima Volley. As long as the Sima family can be stopped from courting at this stage, things will be much easier in the future.
"This ......" Chu Yue frowned, she felt embarrassed for a while, if Chen Nan had made such a request before, she wouldn't have thought about it, and immediately refused sternly. But now Chen Nan is no longer what it used to be, he is equivalent to a fifth-order peerless master with the Houyi Bow in his hand, and it can be expected that in three days, he may become famous all over the world.
For such a genius, she can only win over and appease, but if Nalan Ruoshui marries Chennan, she will undoubtedly offend the big force of the Sima family, and she is in a dilemma.
"General Sima is mentioning this family matter for his eldest son, and has now asked my father to give him a marriage, but it has not yet been decided, I will report your matter to my father and ask him to decide. 」
