Chapter 22: Strange Dream (1/2)
“Self taught?” The Ninth Prince had an envious expression on his face as he continued, “Then you must be very talented! First Brother tried to teach me but I never seemed to make any progress. How great would it be if I were as talented as you...”
After hearing this, Bai Luochu was rather astonished. The Ninth Prince didn’t seem to be someone without talents. As the Ninth Prince of the imperial clan, the cultivation resources he possessed should be nearly inexhaustible. How could he possibly be facing any difficulty in cultivation?
After thinking for a moment, Bai Luochu reached out her hand towards the Ninth Prince and said, “Will Ninth Prince be willing to let me check your meridians?” Bai Luochu didn’t feel any dislike for the Ninth Prince and it had been a long time since she came into contact with someone who approached her without any ulterior intentions or motives.
The Ninth Prince didn’t even think of the repercussions as he stretched his arm over.
A moment later, Bai Luochu withdrew her hand and smiled at the Ninth Prince. “Ninth Prince, if the First Prince says that your talents aren’t good enough in the future, you can just tell him that the problem lies with the cultivation technique. It simply isn’t good enough.”
“The cultivation technique I’m using is one of the strongest techniques the Cloud Water Nation possesses! How can it be lacking?” The Ninth Prince was flabbergasted.
“Even though it’s one of the top class techniques, it might not be the most suitable for you. If the Ninth Prince is skeptical about what I said, you can try cultivating another technique.” Bai Luochu smiled. She was indeed in possession of a cultivation technique extremely suitable for the Ninth Prince. It was a pity. Now was not the time for her to take it out.
Seeing how confident Bai Luochu was, the Ninth Prince was convinced. He looked at Bai Luochu and nodded. “No wonder you can obtain my First Brother’s favor. You don’t seem much older than me, yet, you seem so much more knowledgeable.”
Similar age? Bai Luochu smiled. If she really calculated her ago according to how long she lived, she would definitely be much older than the Ninth Prince.
“That’s right. Will you be going to the palace banquet in three days?” The Ninth Prince asked again.
“If I am allowed to go, I will definitely go,” Bai Luochu responded. To be honest, she was rather curious about the birthday banquet as the members of the Phoenix King Valley would be attending as well.
Before the Ninth Prince could even respond, that attendant pulled him and ran off.
As the Ninth Prince was suddenly pulled away, he didn’t even have time to do a formal farewell. He hastily turned his head as he yelled at Bai Luochu, “We have a deal! I will see you at Grandmother’s birthday banquet, three days later! I will give you…” That attendant was in a hurry and the Ninth Prince’s final words vanished into the wind. Bai Luochu didn’t manage to catch what he said in the end.
As a matter of fact, Bai Luochu didn’t catch most of his farewell message. The moment she heard the three words, “Phoenix King Valley”, she fell into a daze and most of the information the Ninth Prince said after that were already forgotten.
The Phoenix King Valley was here to offer their congratulations mainly because of the wedding between the Third Prince and the Valley Master’s daughter. This Third Prince was the Phoenix King Valley Master’s final disciple and was rather reputable throughout Cloud Water Nation. He was also a strong contender for the throne. If he were to truly marry the Phoenix King Valley Master’s daughter, he would be gaining a huge backing.
If Bai Luochu had heard about the relationship of the Third Prince and Phoenix King Valley, she would definitely be able to guess their intentions. There was no way she would take the risk to enter the imperial palace to attend the birthday banquet. She might not even know how she died if she went there.
