After Su Mu changed his clothes and packed his luggage, he waited at the gate of Situ's house, and it didn't take long for someone to come and lead Su Mu to a carriage waiting at the door.

"What about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Su Mu asked curiously.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already returned to the palace first, and you will naturally be able to see him in a while. ”

The journey from Situ's mansion to the East Palace was not too far, and it was already there in about half an hour. A non-commissioned officer who had been waiting at the palace gate for a long time led Su Mu through the atmospheric pavilion and pavilion, and soon came to the prince's reading pavilion in the East Palace.

"You're here. Liu Changxi, who was looking at something, raised his head, looked at Su Mu and said with a smile, although his smile was still like a spring breeze, it had the majesty of a superior person that naturally appeared.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Su Mu replied with a salute

"No need to be polite. Your senior brother has already left first, so you don't have to worry. The prince said, then waved his hand and motioned for all the subordinates watching from the side to retreat.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate. The non-commissioned officer at the head glanced at Su Mu, a little embarrassed.

"What are you afraid of, Su Shaoxia is the disciple I recruited, the king, and the letter is the first. The prince said disapprovingly, beckoning to Su Mu.

"Su Mu, come here. ”

Su Mu hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward.

Looking at the prince in front of him at such a close distance, Su Mu seemed a little restrained, wanting to say something but not knowing how to speak.

Su Mu looked at Liu Changxi in front of him seriously, wanting to read something from his eyes, but the prince himself still lowered his head and read the book carefully as if he hadn't seen Su Mu's eyes.

Su Mu felt that the state at this time was somewhat similar to when he and Mo Qingyu were riding in the carriage before, but at that time, it was himself who didn't care like the prince, and now the roles were reversed.

What would Mo Qingyu think at that time?

"Su Mu, you seem to have something you want to ask? As if seeing through Su Mu's thoughts, Liu Changxi suddenly took the initiative to ask.

Su Mu was stunned for a moment, and wanted to reply to something, such as asking the prince why he wanted to recruit disciples, or directly saying things related to Chen Shaojie, but at this time, he didn't know how to speak.

I'm just a disciple who has just been recruited, and if I talk too much, I will only be suspected by the prince, right?

"Do you want to ask, why does this king want to recruit you to be a disciple?" Seeing that Su Mu didn't speak, Liu Changxi took the initiative to open the topic.

Su Mu nodded, he couldn't see his expression at this time, but he knew that he must be very stiff and wooden.

"Before answering your question, this king wants to ask you, how did you become a disciple of the Situ family?"

Sure enough, this is the problem!Su Mu thought to himself. Before leaving Situ's mansion, Situ's servant handed over a handwritten letter from Situ Jing, informing Su Muyi how to answer such questions if he encountered such questions after returning to the East Palace with the prince.

"Back to Your Highness, before I went down the mountain, my master told me that if I want to make achievements in the clan conference, I must first go to the big family's disciples as a disciple, and with their support, I will have the opportunity to compete with those disciples of the upper three sects. ”

"Then why is it the Situ family?" the prince's eyes were like torches, "The Situ family has never recruited any disciples in several clan conferences for decades, but they are just concentrating on business, but they have set such a precedent for you, which is really suspicious. Not to mention how exactly you lifted a behemoth like the Situ family, which was originally a bit incredible. ”

After a slight pause, Liu Changxi stared at Su Mu's eyes, and continued in an unquestionable tone: "The information that this king wants to know, I can also find out clearly, but considering our future relationship, this king would like to hear you say it in person, if there is any deception in what you say, you should also know the consequences." ”

Su Mu's heart tightened, calmed down, and explained with a reason that had already been made: "Back to Your Highness, as soon as I entered Beijing, I heard from my old friend that there was an auction of a famous sword in the Luoxue Building, and we went to join in the fun. ”

"Well, it's Miss Lezheng's hidden sword, her name is so famous that even this king almost can't help but want to join in the fun. ”

"Yes, I didn't expect the auction to be temporarily changed to a swordsmanship competition, and I got this famous sword by luck. Su Mu took out the sword from his burden and handed it to Liu Changxi, and then said, "I didn't expect that the mirror head division of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce was also present in that competition, she thought that my swordsmanship talent was good, and the sword moves were also very good for her, so she asked me if I was willing to devote myself to the Situ family as a disciple." ”

"Just because of a sword fight, she decided on you?"

"It's not that easy, and then the head of the mirror asked a few guards of the Situ family to briefly compete with me. ”

"Guards?"

"That's right, a tall and strong one-eyed man, a very short but agile pockmarked face, and a masked face that can't see clearly, but the sword moves are strange and difficult to deal with. ”

"Well, this king has also heard of it, it is the three masters of the Situ family rumored in the rivers and lakes, and all of them have the ability to break through the Skyclave. ”

Liu Changxi said, Su Mu couldn't help but be startled in his heart, this Situ family is really unfathomable, except for a hermit ancestor of the transcendent realm, the masters of the rivers and lakes who break through the sky realm are only qualified to be guards.

Su Mu suppressed the shock in his heart, and continued according to the written script: "Of course, the three masters did not show all their strength, but suppressed Xiu Wei to compete with me, maybe I have an advantage in the understanding of sword moves, and I won half a point by luck, and then the head of the mirror agreed to accept me as a beginner." ”

"Amazing, even if you lower your cultivation, your martial arts skills and fighting experience are still there, and you can even win half a point in the sword move, you are really jealous. The crown prince praised from the bottom of his heart, "Have you stayed in Situ Mansion since then?"

"No, the head of the mirror first sent someone to arrange for me to rest in the Four Seas Inn for one night, and only on the second day did he tidy up a separate courtyard for me to rest. ”

"You've been staying at the Four Seas Inn in the meantime, and she hasn't looked for you again?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, in fact, that day in the Luoxue Building, in addition to the head of the mirror, fortunately the second young master of the Mo family, Mo Qingyu's appreciation, he also sent me an invitation, because he agreed to the head of the mirror first, so I politely declined him, but he said that even if he was not a disciple, he could be a friend as an equal, and he also invited me to go to the outskirts of the city on the second day. ”

Speaking of this, Su Mu hesitated slightly, so far what Su Mu said was all what Situ Jing explained in the letter, and then about what happened under the Ziji Temple, Su Mu was still a little hesitant to tell the prince immediately.

"Nothing else?" Seeing that Su Mu's words came to an abrupt end, the prince asked directly.

"No more. Su Mu thought about it and replied seriously.
