Gardens within the Royal Palace

His Majesty Karls Greelmann VII had just finished his morning meeting, and was sitting leisurely in the gazebo in the garden, reading the music and drinking tea, who would have thought that this middle-aged man in a golden robe, with an ordinary appearance and a somewhat slender body, would be the supreme ruler of the human kingdom on the eastern continent. His Majesty Karls liked to be quiet when he was reading the recitals, and the attendants could only wait outside the pavilion with their things, except for an old man in a white robe and white beard with white hair standing behind Karls Greemann VII with his eyes closed.

"Uncle Bai, hasn't he come back from his training yet?" Kars said lightly as he put down a book of notes that had been reviewed.

"Your Majesty is worried, it will take some time for the bad man to return to the imperial capital. The white-robed old man said slowly with his eyes closed.

"I'm afraid he's been gone for more than half a year, hasn't he?" Kars said, taking a sip of tea.

"It's been more than eight months. ”

"Uncle Bai, are you relieved?"

"If a person wants to grow, he needs to be experienced, and he will not really be strong if he stays by my side all the time. The white-robed old man replied.

"Hmm. Kars nodded, picked up another book and read it.

Just as Kars had finished reviewing the three more copies, a gray-haired little old man who looked quite steady in charge of the palace came from a distance, walked quickly in front of Kars, bowed and said softly and respectfully, "Your Majesty, Master Xiu has been invited. ”

"Oh, so fast?" said Kars, putting down the piece in his hand and rubbing his somewhat sour eyes. "Go and please. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" ordered the court director, and then withdrew from the pavilion and walked away quickly.

The palace director went quickly and came back faster, and there were two people behind him, one was the captain of the Captain Vinst in the blue lion armor, and the other was naturally a handsome middle-aged man in a black gold-trimmed robe-Cultivator.

"Your Majesty, Xiuda..." The palace supervisor walked to the gazebo and bowed, and before he could finish his words, Xiu Dao had already walked into the gazebo in an arrow step and stood in front of Kars, "Hahaha~ My Majesty the King hasn't seen you for a long time." ”

Captain Venter's face looked at this scene with his mouth wide open, "Who is this person? But he quickly remembered the previous sentence, "Stinky boy." "I was relieved all of a sudden. And the palace director standing in front of him was very calm, not at all surprised, as if he had long been used to it.

The cultivator didn't wait for Kars to speak, he turned to face the white-robed old man, but he bowed very respectfully, "Old Bai, are you okay?"

The white-robed old man opened his eyes slightly, glared at the cultivator, and said, "Hmph, you kid, do you want to torture the old man by saluting the old man in front of His Majesty?"

"Hahaha~" Kars didn't get angry, but laughed. "Whenever we came when we were studying, he always saluted you first. ”

"How dare I torture you, I salute you because Xiaobai is not there, and his safety can only test you alone, so ah, you can naturally afford to salute you first. The cultivator pointed at Kars, looked at the white-robed old man and said with a smile.

"You kid, as you get older, you haven't made any progress in your cultivation, but you're getting more and more slippery. The white-robed old man pointed at the cultivator and scolded with a smile.

"What you've always criticized is that I'm going to give him a salute too. The monk said and was about to bow to Kars, but before he lowered his head, he was supported by Kars, "You kid, don't give me these false things, if you finish this ceremony, I'm afraid I will have to give you something again, I won't be fooled." ”

Xiudao was not embarrassed to see through his premeditated plan, and sat down opposite Kars, "I just arrived in the imperial capital, and you found me before I entered the house, Your Majesty, do you want to give me some tea to drink?"

"It's on the tea table, you won't pour it yourself, do you want me to pour it for you myself?" Kars also sat down.

"If you don't say it, how dare I move," Xiudao casually took a teacup and poured it for himself. "If you say it, I'm welcome. ”

"Hmph~ You've never been polite to me. Kars was so angry that he took a sip of his teacup.

"Look at what you're saying," said the monk as he drained a cup of tea, placed the teacup on the table, put away a smile on his face, and looked at Kars seriously, "We're joking, and we've drunk tea, isn't it time to get down to business?"

"I have something important to say to Master Xiu, so you all step down. Kars also put down his teacup, glanced back at the monk, and said to the head of the court, his voice was not loud but had the majesty of a superior person.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The palace director, the captain of the Captain Winst and the attendants withdrew from the garden when they heard the words and saluted, but the white-robed old man did not move at all, still standing in place with his eyes closed.

After exiting the garden, Venster quietly walked to the side of the palace supervisor and asked in a low voice with a curious expression, "Director Hao, what is the origin of this cultivator, and why is His Majesty's attitude towards him so indulgent?"

"Captain Venster, you are asking the right person, that Master Xiu is His Majesty's classmate and friend during his study period, although he does not have half of the official position and has not been awarded the title of nobleman, but he has saved His Majesty from fire and water several times, and he is definitely a big celebrity in front of His Majesty. Director Hao was also dissatisfied with him, and also said in a low voice. "Your Majesty, this throne is also ascended and sat firmly with the help of Lord Xiu. ”

"No wonder Your Majesty is doing this to him?" said Venster.

"Hehehe~ Captain Venster, listen to my advice. ”

"Please also ask Mr. Hao to teach me. Captain Venster bent over.

"Don't take our majesty lightly. Director Hao leaned into Captain Venster's ear and said. "That Master Xiu, his surname is Xiu. ”

"What does the surname Xiu mean?" When Venster wanted to ask again, Director Hao had already walked away on his own.

"Surname Xiu, surname Xiu! Could he be—" Venster suddenly thought of something.

...

After Kars and the others retreated, he took another sip of tea, "You don't blame me about Hua'er and my precious daughter, do you?"

"It's not enough to blame you, it's just a little accidental. The monk filled himself with another cup of tea.

"You really can't blame me for this, if I don't do this, you don't know when you will come to the imperial capital?" Kars put down his teacup and grumbled slightly dissatisfied.

"You are Your Majesty, the most powerful person in the entire Eastern Continent, and I must not come obediently if you make an order. Monk said, looking back at Kars.

"Good idea, I can try it next time. Kars also looked at the monastics.

The eyes of the two men collided at this moment, and they laughed at the same time, "Hahaha~"

Kars took a sip of tea and proposed, "By the way, since you're in the imperial capital, let's stay longer." ”

"I'm really going to stay here permanently, are you welcome?" said the monk with a smirk as he looked at Kars.

"Welcome, how can you not welcome it. Kars said with a look of surprise.

The cultivator looked disgusted, "Pull you down, if I really live here for ten days and half a month, I'm afraid you will send someone to drive me away." Last time, last time... Isn't it always like this?"

Kars looked directly into the eyes of the cultivator, and said with a serious face, "This time, even if you live for a year or two, I won't drive you away, you know, there are some things that I can do with you by my side." ”

"It seems that you have decided to do that, have you?" said the cultivator at once realized something.

"You and I are no longer young. Kars said with an exclamation in his tone,

After listening to Kars's words, Xiudao looked at Kars again, and saw the same wrinkles as the corners of his eyes, and saw the silver threads in his golden hair, Xiudao also nodded with feeling, "Yes, we are not young anymore, okay, I promise you to stay." ”

"Hahaha~ I knew you would say yes. Kars laughed with satisfaction.

"Come less, my information will be charged, and I won't be able to help you if you can't afford to pay at that time. The monk looked at Kars and smiled slyly.

"I've promised you the most precious daughter to repair the family, and you're embarrassed to talk to me about money? Kars raised an eyebrow.

"It's not like I'm going to hit you, what kind of temper does that stinky boy in my family have, don't you know yet?" said Xiudao, shaking his head and taking a sip of tea.

"He must have run away from home, right?" Kars guessed with a smile.

"Well, the day after I knew you were going to marry the princess to him, that stinky boy actually ran away from home. ”

"Hahaha~ This stinky boy. Kars smiled and patted his thigh.
