Chapter Forty-Eight: See the Seventh Princess Again
The rising sun became more and more charming, and Ouyang Yunxiao left Xilan City with Aotian and several important staff members of the Sword Forger Guild Branch, and rushed towards the imperial capital.
As the inheritor of Ouyang Yunxiao in the future, Ouyang Mingzhu was naturally taken by him and let him go to the imperial capital to see the grand gathering of swordsmiths.
Without saying anything all the way, everyone arrived at the imperial capital smoothly the morning before the start of the Sword Forging Masters Competition, and then found a very good inn in the imperial capital to stay.
Then, after everything was settled, Ouyang Yunxiao took Aotian and Ouyang Mingzhu in a luxurious carriage and came to the Sword Forgers Guild in the imperial capital.
On the way, Aotian learned from Ouyang Yunxiao that each Sword Casting Masters Tournament was held in a competition venue behind the Imperial Capital Sword Casting Master Guild, which had been built hundreds of years ago and was specially built to hold the Sword Casting Master Competition.
And the purpose of bringing Aotian and Ouyang Mingzhu here today is to sign up for Aotian, and secondly, to let him and Ouyang Mingzhu meet the only sword-casting grandmaster of the Yunlan Empire-Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao can be said to have stood at the pinnacle of the swordsmith world of the Yunlan Empire, the kind of existence that no one can surpass, although he serves as the president of the Imperial Capital Sword Forge Guild, he rarely comes to the guild on weekdays, but he will definitely come over when he is in the Sword Forge Master Competition, accept the visits of the presidents of each branch, and briefly inspect the relevant affairs of the Sword Forge Master Competition.
In front of the guild is a huge flat square, on which many luxurious carriages are parked, and a row of guards wearing armor and holding long swords are like statues, surrounding the square, guarding this holy land of swordsmiths.
Although there is no fence around the square, there are only three entrances, and all outsiders can only enter through those three entrances.
At this time, luxury carriages entered the square one after another at the three entrances, after obtaining permission.
After Ouyang Yunxiao showed his Royal Sword Casting Master badge to the guards of the square, he was also released, followed by a luxurious carriage in front of him, and smoothly entered the square, and then stopped next to a clearing.
But just as Ouyang Yunxiao, Aotian, and Ouyang Mingzhu got down from the carriage, a burst of cheers suddenly came from an entrance in the center of the square: "See Grandmaster, see Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Hearing this shout, Ouyang Yunxiao, Aotian, Ouyang Mingzhu, and some people in the square who had also just gotten off the carriage looked over.
I saw three golden-roofed canopies and extremely luxurious carriages, escorted by two columns of gold-armored guards, into the square.
Those gold-armored guards are all magnificent, heroic, cold-faced, very royal majesty, walking in a uniform pace, and walking as fast as the wind, fully showing that they are all masters of extraordinary strength.
"Grandpa, is that Sword Forging Grandmaster here?" Ouyang Mingzhu asked in surprise as he stared at the three carriages that showed an incomparably noble status.
"Hmm!" Ouyang Yunxiao nodded, but seeing that the three carriages had already stopped at the gate of the guild, and everyone in the square gathered there, Ouyang Yunxiao also hurriedly said: "Mingzhu, Aotian, let's go over to greet the grandmaster and the princess!"
At the entrance of the guild, many figures poured out from the gate of the guild, and then lined up on both sides, most of them knelt on one knee, and only a very small number of people bowed down and clenched their fists in unison: "Welcome to the Grandmaster, Your Royal Highness the Princess!"
Ouyang Yunxiao also walked quickly to the entrance of the guild with Aotian and Ouyang Mingzhu, and then asked Aotian and Ouyang Mingzhu to kneel on one knee, and he bowed down and hugged his fists to greet the three people who got off the golden-topped canopy carriage.
I saw that one of them was an old man with gray hair, sharp eyes, and no anger between his eyebrows, who must be the only sword-casting grandmaster in the Yunlan Empire-Ling Xiao.
The second person is a man in his thirties, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, sharp and angular facial features, he is a very handsome man, but this man has a slight hint of arrogance on his face, and he also has a look of contempt in his eyes when he sweeps the people around him, as if he is the only one in the world.
The third person is a woman who is about eighteen years old, with a beautiful appearance and a noble temperament, but her eyes are a little eccentric, and she should be the princess known to everyone.
After Ling Xiao and the three of them got out of the carriage, they walked to the gate of the guild under the escort of the golden armor guards.
Although the surrounding people either knelt on one knee or bowed down, many of them couldn't help but secretly set their eyes on Ling Xiao and the princess, wanting to see the demeanor of the Sword Forging Grandmaster and the Imperial Princess.
And Aotian naturally secretly glanced at Ling Xiao, the only sword-casting grandmaster of the Yunlan Empire, curiously, and then curiously glanced at a man and a woman beside him, but when Aotian saw the beautiful woman, it was like a thunderbolt slashing on the top of his head, making his brain "buzz", and then retracted his head as if a mouse had seen a cat, for fear that the woman would see him.
"Damn, it won't be so unlucky, she turned out to be the princess of the Yunlan Empire!" Aotian felt bitter in his heart, when he was in the Northern Wilderness Gusen, he saw that the woman was accompanied by a powerful attendant, and he just thought that she was a young lady from a big family, but he didn't expect that she was the princess of the Yunlan Empire.
But Aotian was also helpless in his heart, he didn't want to provoke her at the beginning, who let God not open his eyes, he could jump off a cliff and escape for his life to bump into a beautiful woman in the bath, and the beauty was still a princess of the empire.
I really don't know if this is luck or bad luck?
Just when Aotian was depressed, Ling Xiao and the Seventh Princess, as well as another man, had already walked into the gate of the guild under the escort of the guards.
And the people around them also got up one after another, followed behind, and walked towards the guild.
"Aotian get up!" Ouyang Yunxiao saw that Aotian was still there with his head bowed, kneeling down on one knee, and hurriedly called.
Hearing Ouyang Yunxiao's voice, Aotian came back to his senses, first sneaked a look around, but saw that the princess had already entered the guild gate, so he stood up with confidence.
"Let's go in too!" Ouyang Yunxiao didn't care too much about Aotian's strange performance, but said with a slight smile.
"Wait for the teacher!" Aotian called out to Ouyang Yunxiao, "Is that princess just now really the princess of our empire?"
Aoten asked a very idiotic question.
Hearing this, Ouyang Yunxiao was a little surprised in his heart, but after thinking about it, he was relieved, after all, Aotian was still young, and he shouldn't have seen much of the world, so the first time he saw the seven princesses of the empire who looked like a country and a city, it was inevitable that he would be a little out of shape and abnormal, so after smiling slightly, he nodded and said: " That's right, she is the seventh daughter of our Yunlan Empire, that is, the Seventh Princess, I heard that she also has a very good talent for refining, and now she is already the apprentice of the Grandmaster, as long as she steps into the martial artist level in the future, she will be able to officially learn the art of sword casting!"
Ouyang Yunxiao's introduction was very detailed, but Aotian didn't care who the seventh princess was, or whether he had the talent for refining weapons, he was now full of thoughts that he would never let the seventh princess bump into him.
Anyway, he did see the body of the seventh princess at the beginning, and touched the buttocks of the seventh princess, this kind of thing is something he can't wash away no matter what, if he is seen by the seventh princess, the seventh princess will definitely ask himself for the crime, and it will be difficult to fly when he inserts his wings, and he will be gouged out of his eyes and burned at the stake.
But these are nothing, Aotian doesn't want to be saddled with such a dirty name as a thief and ** when he dies.
Thinking that he had not yet been immortalized because of the art of sword forging, he would be stinking for 10,000 years because of voyeurism and offending Her Royal Highness the princess, Aotian immediately retreated in his heart and wanted to give up participating in this competition.
After all, compared to a small life, everything else is a floating cloud.
"Teacher, can you take a step to speak?" Aotian muttered for a while, and suddenly said with a solemn face.
Although his heart is very complicated and messy, he still has a sense of vigilance, and he doesn't want to be caught by Ouyang Mingzhu again.
Seeing Aotian's strange appearance, Ouyang Yunxiao was also full of doubts, and then said to Ouyang Mingzhu beside him: "Mingzhu, you go to the carriage and wait for us first!"
"Oh, okay!" Although Ouyang Mingzhu was also a little curious about what Aotian had secrets, Ouyang Yunxiao spoke, and she didn't dare not listen, so she could only obediently return to the carriage.
Seeing Ouyang Yunxiao return to the carriage, Aotian pulled Ouyang Yunxiao to another secluded and uninhabited corner, and after hesitating slightly, he said in a deep voice: "Teacher, I don't want to participate in this competition!"
"What are you doing?" Ouyang Yunxiao was taken aback and asked with a surprised face.
"Alas—teacher, you don't know what to say, I met the Seventh Princess when I was training in the Northern Wilderness Gusen before, and there was some misunderstanding with her, so I didn't want her to see me!" Aotian said with a bitter face.
Hearing Aotian's answer, Ouyang Yunxiao was stunned at first, and then couldn't help but laugh a few times: "Ha Luha, I think it's because of Lu, isn't it just some misunderstanding, if it's okay, the teacher will explain to the seventh princess for you, I think she, as a princess of a country, should understand things!"
"No, no, no, teacher, this misunderstanding is you, you can't explain it clearly, in short, I can't let the seventh princess see me!" Aotian was a little anxious, and there was no way to say the misunderstanding between him and the seventh princess.
Seeing Aotian's resolute attitude, Ouyang Yunxiao's face sank again, and after a little silence, he said solemnly: "Aotian, although the Sword Casting Master Tournament is held once in ten years, if you miss this time, there will be a next time, but the opportunity of life waits for no one, if you miss it once, it may not be possible to recover it in your life, although the teacher doesn't know what misunderstanding there is between you and the Seventh Princess, but the teacher really doesn't want you to give up like this!"
