Chapter 366: Chapter 158: Bestowing Titles and Honors, Mystic Turtle’s Wish Fulfilled_3

This attire was naturally magnificent and authoritative.

Li Guanyi laughed, pondered for a moment, and gave a cupped-hand salute:

"I pay my respects to the Commandery Princess."

The young miss was momentarily stunned, then blinked, coughed once, and extended her hand:

"Hmm, County Knight Qin Wu, you are excused from the formalities."

The teenage boy, conversing just like the officials and nobles, then blinked again and burst into laughter together. The young miss raised her sleeve lightly and said proudly with a smile, "Watch this." She then began to dance lightly.

The angelic young girl, her dignified court dress, and her lively dance together had a strange charm, capturing the onlooker’s gaze. Her steps light, her dancing graceful, she twirled, imitating the Huxuan Dance. Her hair flew up, her skirt lifted slightly, and the jewels tinkled softly. At last, she stopped, caught her breath, and asked:

"How was it?"

Li Guanyi retracted his gaze and applauded: "Miss, you are incredible!"

The young girl, sitting next to Li Guanyi, proudly said:

"I’ve been thinking, such court attire only requires small steps forward, too restrictive. Such beautiful clothes, if used for sword dancing or dancing, would look very appealing. But I dare not mention such things in front of Grandpa and Aunt; they would scold me."

"So I had to find someone more easy-going like you."

"Humph, choose between my dance and three hundred taels of gold,

Li Guanyi said, "Definitely the young miss’s dance!"

Xue Shuangtao skeptically asked, "What about five hundred taels?"

"The young miss!"

The young girl asked, "What about one thousand taels?"

Li Guanyi decisively responded, "Definitely the young miss!"

The young miss looked Li Guanyi up and down and then suddenly asked curiously, "What about a single golden bean?"

Thus, the young martial artist resolutely declared, "A single golden bean!"

Li Guanyi pulled something out of his pocket and said,

"Because I indeed have a golden bean!"

"Ah?"

The young miss widened her eyes, then suddenly stood up, gnashed her teeth in irritation, and kicked Li Guanyi’s shin repeatedly. Li Guanyi begged for mercy. At the end, the young miss glared at him with furrowed brows but could not help laughing herself, and coyly said:

"Bring out your hand!"

"Ah?"

"Bring it out!"

"Oh."

Li Guanyi extended his hand and opened his palm, which held a golden bean. The young girl placed her hand on his palm, and when she lifted her hand, there was a pile of golden beans in Li Guanyi’s palm. The young miss bounced back several steps lightly, hands clasped behind her, and said with a radiant smile:

"If you choose one golden bean, then I’ll give you ten golden beans, a hundred golden beans!"

"Choose me, get it?"

Li Guanyi was stunned. The young girl waved, then with a clear and radiant smile, she hopped away step by step until she reached the courtyard entrance, where she stopped, straightened the folds of her skirt, and walked forward with measured steps. Her hair shimmered slightly in the sunlight, radiating a light golden glow, dignified and elegant.

As she was leaving, she paused, glanced back at Li Guanyi with a smiling expression.

Then she walked away.

Li Guanyi gripped these golden beans, placing them beside him, and sat quietly.

Meanwhile, in the Imperial Palace, after Emperor Chen had entertained Ji Yanzhong and others, he just returned, with the Ritual Eunuch waiting with bowed head. The emperor calmly asked, "How is it?"

The Ritual Eunuch replied, "Situ Deqing has been found."

Emperor Chen indifferently asked, "Is he dead?"

The Ritual Eunuch’s voice was harsh, "He died from the White Tiger’s evil qi of the Military School."

The atmosphere instantly became oppressive and deathly still.

......

Li Guanyi arrived at the Book Collection Pavilion, this time again someone drove him here, and he could once again see that majestic building, the pond, and the nearby wooden house. Li Guanyi could enter the pavilion, Mystic Turtle Dharma Form was already impatient, tugging constantly at Li Guanyi.

’Alright, alright, don’t be anxious...’

Li Guanyi soothed the Mystic Turtle Dharma Form, then stepped into the pavilion.

He remembered what the young Sword Saint Xu Huixiang had mentioned, a bronze stele wrapped in "Innate Geng Metal", heard that this Innate Geng Metal is the material for forging mystical and divine weapons, if returned to the Murong Family, perhaps a mystical weapon could be forged.

As a martial artist, the desire for top-notch weapons, mystical weapons, was natural and insatiable.

Was this what Mystic Turtle had always yearned for?

An elder was reading, his aura robust and unfathomable, like an abyss, not looking up but indifferently said: "You may take one scroll yourself, but cannot take it away. After taking out one scroll, the formation here activates, and you cannot take any other."

"Be cautious."

"All that you see, must not be disclosed."

Li Guanyi responded, "Yes."

He walked forward, Li Guanyi’s eyes scanned over and he saw the words "Red Dragon Power," "White Tiger Seven Kills," "Jade Arm Divine Bow Skills," but those cultivation techniques all had "Incomplete" written next to them, which made Li Guanyi gasp.

The royal family had gathered much here.

Li Guanyi looked around and saw what Xu Huixiang mentioned, a bronze stele containing divine weapon material. Mystic Turtle went straight towards this bronze stele.

And then, without a glance, it charged to the back of the bronze stele.

Li Guanyi was stunned.

Not divine weapon material?

Was there something better?!
