Because of the appearance of the black dragon, the grand opening of the autumn hunting grass meadow ended, which was a bit anticlimactic. The points were settled in advance, and only one day's points were counted, which caused a lot of dissatisfaction, but the Jingguo royal family still handled it well. First, all the participating monks were given some spiritual elixirs as compensation, and then the monks who were dissatisfied with the points settlement were counted, and they were allowed to plunder the points through duels.

Xu Ming naturally did not participate in the follow-up competition, but he heard that Dongfang Yuntian fought thirty times in a row and successfully held the first throne. Xu Ming was not surprised, nor was he jealous, he was only disappointed in himself.

Xu Ming left Beijing to meet his master, Guan Shanyue. Guan Shanyue was still the same, fake seriousness in front of his apprentices, asked Xu Ming about his recent situation and what he had encountered along the way, and expressed his cordial condolences. However, when Guan Chunuan was mentioned, Guan Shanyue was still in his original form.

"Don't mention that girl!" Guan Shanyue's face was not very good, "Yesterday when I asked her to go back to the Ziyang Sect, she was still angry with me, and her beard was almost pulled off!"

Xu Ming was very surprised when he heard that Guan Chunuan had returned to the Ziyang Sect, and he asked, "Senior sister returned to the sect?"

Guan Shanyue said: "First, because her mother misses her and wants me to send her back, and secondly, because you are about to go to Liangguo, and as Chu Nuan, she can't go to Liangguo now, so I simply sent her back to the sect." ”

"Can't you go to Liangguo? why?" Xu Ming was stunned again, he wasn't very clear about what was happening in the outside world these days.

Guan Shanyue didn't hide it from him, after all, he was his apprentice: "Liu Ancheng, the old lady of Liangguo, died of illness, Emperor Guangwu was seriously ill, and Zheng Xiujie at this time, he put Weiguo Gong Li Mu under house arrest for embezzlement, and some of the border troops in Loulan Pass were also transferred back to the imperial capital. Zheng Xiujie's rebellious heart has been revealed. And Chu Nuan, as the sect master of the Ziyang Sect, my daughter, and the princess canonized by Emperor Jingguo himself, Zheng Xiujie himself hated Jingguo, if Chu Nuan appeared in Liangguo at this time, it would be too dangerous. ”

"Senior sister has become the princess of Jingguo?" Xu Ming felt as if he had slept a lot, and when he got up, the whole world changed. "When?" asked Xu Ming.

Guan Shanyue said: "It was canonized only yesterday, and Emperor Hongzhi originally wanted to keep Chu Nuan in Shangjing, but Chu Nuan was unwilling, and I was not very relieved, so I let her go back to the sect first." I came to Beijing this time because Emperor Hongzhi invited me to discuss this matter. ”

Xu Ming understood what Dongfang Yuntian meant when he said that he wanted to "borrow" Guan Chunuan yesterday. Emotional Guan Chunuan became his sister at this time, and he also had an extra "brother-in-law". "I've really become a colt!" Xu Ming remembered Chu Feng's words when he first saw him, and couldn't help but laugh a little.

"Then when the situation of Liangguo settles down, junior sister can come to Liangguo?" Xu Ming asked.

Guan Shanyue was suddenly a little annoyed: "Yes, yes, yes! My daughter has grown up, and her elbows will turn out, yesterday I persuaded her for a long time to let her not go to Liangguo, and now you mention this to me again, I ......"

Xu Ming looked at Guan Shanyue, who was a little jealous, and laughed with a snort: "Master, what you said is not right, can you still turn your elbow out with me?" I am your apprentice, we are a family, aren't we?"

Guan Shanyue looked at him with a complicated look in his eyes. In the end, he sighed and said, "This is also fate, and you can't hide from it." ”

Xu Ming saw Guan Shanyue, who showed a loveless expression, and was stunned again: "Master, what do you mean by this?"

"You have that Ziyang Sect token tattooed with an immortal crane, and your surname is Xu, so you are the descendant of Xu Guixi Immortal?" Guan Shanyue asked him.

"Exactly!" Xu Ming nodded: "I thought you knew." ”

"Of course I know!" Guan Shanyue snorted, his tone unkind. Then he said a little deflated: "When I was a child, I met Xu Guixi Immortal. At that time, I didn't know how high the sky was, so I stole a pill from him and ate it. Later, Xu Guixi Immortal found out and did not punish me, but joked with me that he wanted me to return my daughter in the future. ”

"I was just joking at the time, who knew that the immortal chief would actually calculate what would happen in this thousand years later!" Guan Shanyue beat his chest in regret: "I didn't eat that Peiyuan Pill if I knew it earlier, and the Eight Pins Pill lost a daughter!

And such a good thing! Xu Ming couldn't help but admire his father.

"You are the descendant of Xu Xianchang, your talent is not bad, and you are in love with Chu Nuan, in general, Nian Chu and I are quite satisfied with you. Guan Shanyue sighed with emotion, returned to normal, he looked at Xu Ming and said: "Chu Nuan is with you, we can rest assured, you have to be better to her in the future!" Guan Shanyue's face was struggling, both reluctant and relieved, and finally he patted Xu Ming's shoulder: "We will be a family in the future!"

"Why did you say this suddenly, we have been a family for a long time, and I will definitely be happy with my junior sister, ah no, Chu Nuan is good. Xu Ming hurriedly indicated his intentions.

Guan Shanyue pondered for a long time before he said with some difficulty: "Actually, Emperor Hongzhi invited me to Beijing this time, and his original intention was to ask for marriage for the thirteenth prince, King Chen Dongfang Yuntian. ”

"Asking for a kiss, asking for a kiss?" Xu Ming had actually guessed.

"Emperor Hongzhi courted Dongfang Yuntian and asked me to marry Chu Nuan to Dongfang Yuntian. This is good for both Jingguo and Ziyang Sect. Guan Shanyue finally spoke, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, as if a stone hanging in his heart had finally landed.

"Then, why did you canonize Chu Nuan as a princess?" Xu Ming asked.

"Because I don't agree!" Guan Shanyue pouted, "If I agree, this girl will have to smash the Ziyang Sect for me." ”

"Then you don't agree, what about the relationship between our Ziyang and Jing Chao?" Xu Ming suppressed the excitement and excitement in his heart, and asked cautiously, looking at Guan Shanyue with more gratitude in his eyes.

Guan Shanyue glanced at him: "The relationship between our Ziyang Sect and the Jing Dynasty has always been like that. They used us as a façade, and we also got benefits, and our sect and Jing Dynasty have always had a cooperative relationship similar to this. They didn't want to have a fight with us, and we naturally didn't want to, so they chose a compromise method and canonized Chu Nuan as a princess. In this way, not only the Ziyang Sect is tied to the Jing Dynasty, but it can also eliminate the thoughts of that kid in Dongfang Yuntian. ”

Xu Ming smiled and nodded, and while saying that Master was wise, he couldn't help but imagine Dongfang Yun's deteriorating weather.

Xu Ming stayed here at Guanshanyue for one night, and the next day he was ready to continue his journey north.

"You still have to be careful when you go to Liangguo. Now the situation of the Liang Kingdom is very complicated, although the immortals are separated, they should not be too difficult for you, but you still have to be more careful!"

"Master, you don't know yet, I never cause trouble!" Xu Ming patted his chest and promised: "When I arrive in Liangguo, I will pass on the book to you!"

"You kid, you've caused me trouble this time!" Guan Shanyue scolded with a smile.

The master and apprentice waved goodbye.

Xu Ming came to an inn to find Chu Feng. Chu Feng had already left inexplicably, and asked the shopkeeper to bring a message to Xu Ming.

"Immortal Xu Chang, Immortal Chu was already gone yesterday. Before leaving, let the little one bring you a message, saying that he has something urgent, go to Shanhaiguan first, and let you go to Shanhaiguan to find him. ”

Xu Ming calculated the room money, thanked Xiao Er, and walked towards the north gate of Shangjing.

"You're really there!" Xu Ming saw Dongfang Yuntian at the gate of Shangjing. This time, he changed into the posture of a winner: "It's a pity, I'm leaving, Chu Nuan has also returned to the Ziyang Sect, and there is no one to accompany you." ”

Dongfang Yuntian looked at Xu Ming's somewhat villainous smile, and did not show the slightest annoyance. He nodded calmly: "Indeed, I lost, I shouldn't be soft-hearted, I should finish those two moves." ”

"It's a pity that I caught your two tricks. Xu Ming smiled, looking at Dongfang Yuntian with a smug look in his eyes.

Dongfang Yuntian also hooked the corner of his mouth: "It's okay, we have a lot of opportunities, I hope that next time, you won't let me down!"

"Wait until I learn to control the Golden Hoop Stick and the Monkey King Armor, and see how I abuse you!" Xu Ming thought so, revealing a smile that he thought was a gentleman: "I'm happy to accompany you." ”

"Tian'er, Miss Guan's matter ......"

"I know, thank you, Father!"

"That ......"

"Father, I want to go to Middle-earth. ”

"Huh? Why?"

"That's where I spread my wings. ”

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the back of his somewhat strange son and shook his head helplessly. The cold-blooded emperor in front of the world, at this moment, is actually an ordinary father.
