Su Ye smiled slightly and said: "Xia Cao, the prince said that you have good talent and are suitable for practice. I wonder if you have any ideas in this regard now?"
Xia Cao couldn't help being stunned when he heard this. He pointed at his nose and said, "My lord, are you kidding me? My talent is good? No one has ever said that since I was a child."
"That's because what you want to cultivate is not the same as theirs." Lu Xuan said with a smile: "It's precisely because of your talent that you could feel me passing by just now, but Dong Chong couldn't."
Xia Cao couldn't help but feel excited in her heart, and some thoughts that had been extinguished a long time ago couldn't help but resurface. She had been envious of those heroines who came and went since she was a child. Later, thanks to the kindness of the young lady, she was allowed to practice with the martial arts masters of Baicao Hall, but After practicing for a year or two, there was no result. I felt that I was ashamed of the young lady's cultivation, so I stopped thinking about it, and An An was at ease in front of Su Ye's personal maid.
Unexpectedly, now that there is a bright future in the village, the prince would say that he has talent! The prince is a person who even the emperor regards as his guest. The words coming out of his mouth are undoubtedly more reliable and convincing than those ordinary martial arts masters in Baicaotang.
But after being overjoyed, Xia Cao sighed again and said: "It's a pity that I didn't meet the prince earlier. I heard people say that you have to start practicing from a young age. When you grow up, your bones will be finalized, and you won't be able to achieve anything." .”
Lu Xuan laughed: "You know a lot, but the cultivation path suitable for you has little to do with your bones. Of course, if you want to become the best in the world in one go, there is probably no hope, but If you just make a name for yourself in this small area of land in Zhongzhou, it’s not too difficult.”
Xia Cao's eyes lit up, his big eyes blinked and he said, "My lord, are you willing to teach me?"
Lu Xuan smiled slightly: "Since I have brought it up, I will naturally give you some guidance, but the master will lead you in. Cultivation is a personal matter. Your soul power is not weak by nature, and practicing soul skills will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."
After that, Lu Xuan took out a blue-covered classic and said: "This classic records the spiritual talisman master's training method, which is enough for you to cultivate into a ten-star spiritual talisman master. If you can really understand it, Zhongzhou is so big. There will be a place for you.”
Xia Cao took the classics respectfully and carefully collected them close to his body. It felt like he was in a dream. The prince gave such a precious classic to him? When I was studying with those martial arts masters in the past, I kept all the ordinary body training techniques hidden. If I hadn't seen my pretty appearance and the young lady's face, I might not have revealed it easily.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward. I will serve the Princess more carefully in the future, and I will never delay things because of my practice." Xia Cao said with a serious face.
Lu Xuan teased: "In the future, if you succeed in cultivation, just protect the princess for me. From now on, when I am no longer with the princess, I will rely on you."
Xia Cao said sheepishly: "How can I compare with the prince and the princess? But if anyone wants to harm the princess, I will definitely be the first to refuse."
Su Ye shook his head and smiled: "Don't put any pressure on Xia Cao. Come on, try the snacks. They won't taste good when they get cold."
Lu Xuan stopped joking about summer grass. He picked up a piece of snack and stuffed it into his mouth. Just as he was about to swallow it, he suddenly felt something was wrong. There was something alive in this snack!
Seeing Su Ye picking up a piece of pastry and preparing to taste it, Lu Xuan raised his hand and knocked the pastry out of her hand, while spitting out the pastry in his mouth.
Su Ye was startled by Lu Xuan's actions, and Xia Cao was also stunned. Lu Xuan stood up suddenly, swept away the previous warmth, and looked at Xia Cao aside with a gloomy expression.
Xia Cao said tremblingly: "My lord, my lord, what's wrong? Is the pastry poisonous?"
Lu Xuan couldn't help but grabbed Xia Cao's arm, and placed his fingers directly on her pulse.
After looking into it, he looked slightly relaxed, grabbed Xia Cao's arm, twisted her around, and slapped her back three times in a row.
Xia Cao felt a pain in his internal organs, and thought it was over, the prince must have thought that he was the poisoner, but at least let himself distinguish...
However, before Xia Cao could finish her thoughts, she felt nauseated and couldn't help but vomit. At this moment, Lu Xuan let go of Xia Cao's arm and sat down again.
Xia Cao calmed down and realized that she was still alive. She subconsciously glanced at the filth she had just vomited out. It was the cake she had just eaten and had not yet had time to digest. But what was a little scary was that in this filth , crawled out a bug as big as the tip of your thumb!
Seeing this scene, Xia Cao, who had just vomited, suddenly wanted to vomit even more. Thinking of such a big bug staying in her body just now, her scalp became numb.
Before she could think about it, Lu Xuan had already asked in a deep voice: "Xia Cao, have you eaten the pastries here just now?"
Xia Cao resisted the urge to vomit and replied: "Yes, we will all taste the princess before eating. However, I definitely did not eat such a big insect just now."
Unlike Xia Cao's panic, Su Ye was still calm and looked at Lu Xuan: "What's going on? Someone poisoned me?"
Lu Xuan took a deep breath and said, "It's not poison, it's poison. This is a poison."
After that, Lu Xuan picked up an untouched snack and crushed it gently. A very small Gu worm suddenly appeared in the eyes of several people. The size was no more than ten times the size of the Gu worm spit out by Xia Cao just now. One percent, you won’t even notice it after eating it.
Because Zhao Bing'er was poisoned by the Sikong family's poison, Lu Xuan had done a lot of research on poisonous insects and recognized this kind of poisonous insects at a glance. He was not very clever, but he was extremely secretive. It will enter a dormant state, which can almost completely hide its life breath, making it difficult to detect. If Lu Xuan hadn't had extremely strong senses, and had just talked with Xia Cao for a while, the Gu insect had revived slightly, I'm afraid he Gotta get hit too.
Xia Cao on the side was about to cry out of fear, and kept saying: "Your Majesty, this was definitely not done by this slave. I have no idea about it at all!"
"I know it wasn't you, otherwise you wouldn't have eaten it, and let it grow so big. If another moment and a half goes by, it will be enough to slowly eat up your internal organs, and eventually there will be no bones left!"
Although Lu Xuan had just suspected Xia Cao for the first time, when he realized that Xia Cao had been poisoned first, he dispelled this suspicion. This was not a poison that could be used as a trick, just like Lu Xuan Xuan said that a moment and a half is enough to kill someone.
Since the Gu insect was not planted by Xia Cao, and he is familiar with the use of this insect, the target of suspicion has been completely locked, the cook!
"Xia Cao, go to the kitchen and invite the two cooks over, and tell them that the princess asked them how to make this pastry." Lu Xuan's tone was cold. Under the table where Su Ye and Xia Cao could not see, Lu Xuan's fists were already clenched. Hold it.
It’s a Gu insect again, and it’s the people around him again!
Ruo Xiangyi passed away because of the Yin and Yang Soul-Destroying Gu of the Sikong family. As a result, the Sikong family was turned upside down by Lu Xuan and suffered huge losses. Unexpectedly, Su Ye almost followed in her footsteps. Just a moment ago, Lu Xuan had vowed Say you will never lose anyone again!
He wanted to see who had such courage and what price he was prepared to pay for it!
