Lian Jin has lost quite a few attributes.
After obtaining the attribute orb, Li Yao returned to his seat with a nonchalant air, picked up a glass of wine, and savored it slowly.
At this time, the wine is light and fragrant, with a unique flavor.
At this moment, King Xiaocheng clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "Good! Good! Good! The Grand Prince's swordsmanship is indeed excellent. It turns out that the Grand Prince has been hiding his true strength all along, and only with the last strike did he unleash his true power, killing Lian Jin with a single blow. Amazing, amazing."
Li Yao simply smiled modestly and said, "Your Majesty flatters me."
At this moment, the crowd snapped out of their shock and burst into thunderous cheers.
They never expected that Li Yao would kill Lian Jin, who wielded a golden sword and was known as the number one swordsman of Zhao, with just a broken knife.
With a wave of his hand, King Xiaocheng sent two guards to the center of the palace to carry away the already lifeless Lian Jin.
Then, several waiters wiped the bloodstains off the floor.
It was as if nothing had happened at all.
From the moment Lian Jin fell, no one paid him any more attention. No one cared whether Lian Jin lived or died, and no one cared about this lackey of Zhao Mu.
After Lian Jin was carried away, King Xiaocheng personally poured a cup of wine, left his seat, and walked towards Li Yao, sighing:
"Such exquisite swordsmanship is something I have never seen before."
"From this day forward, the Grand Prince will be the Grand Tutor of our Great Zhao, and will be in charge of teaching the Prince martial arts."
"Furthermore, I will bestow upon the Grand Prince the title of God of Knives, to promote the martial spirit of our Great Zhao."
To everyone's surprise, King Xiaocheng not only appointed Li Yao as Grand Tutor, but also bestowed upon him the title of God of Knives.
This is simply an incredible blessing.
Such a situation has never occurred before in the history of the Great Zhao.
Moreover, appointing Li Yao as Grand Tutor is quite reasonable.
Why was Li Yao appointed as the God of Swords?
As is widely known, there was a sword saint named Cao Qiudao in the State of Qi. He was a grandmaster of swordsmanship, whose skills were superb and unfathomable.
Did King Xiaocheng intend to use the title of God of Swords to suppress the Sword Saint of Qi and annoy Qi?
In truth, Li Yao didn't care about titles like Grand Tutor or Sword God.
However, having the position of Grand Tutor would make his future plans and actions easier.
So Li Yao stood up, accepted the toast from King Xiaocheng, drank it all in one gulp, and gladly accepted the position of Grand Tutor.
Then, King Hyosung waved towards a seat.
Then, a noblewoman with her hair piled high and dressed in gorgeous clothes walked over slowly with a boy of about twelve or thirteen years old.
King Hyoseong pointed to the noblewoman and introduced her to Li Yao, saying, "This is my queen."
Li Yao had already guessed the noblewoman's identity.
It turns out that she really was Queen Han Jing of Zhao.
Han Jing, in the novel "A Step into the Past," is a tragic woman who married a man with homosexual tendencies and lived a life of sorrow and loneliness.
In the original novel, Xiang Shaolong used domineering methods to seduce Queen Zhao several times.
Queen Zhao was only thirty years old at the time. She was elegant and noble, with phoenix eyes that held a commanding presence. Her high nose bridge stretched straight to the root of her nose, showing that she was a strong-willed and opinionated person.
Li Yao glanced at Queen Zhao only once before bowing to her and saying, "Grand Tutor Li Yao greets Your Majesty."
Queen Zhao nodded slightly and said, "No need for formalities."
Then, King Xiaocheng pointed to the elegantly dressed young man beside Queen Zhao and introduced him to Li Yao, saying, "This is my son. From now on, the Grand Prince will teach him martial arts."
Li Yao looked at the young ruler of Zhao with great interest and smiled slightly at him.
Unexpectedly, the young lord was left with an indelible psychological trauma after witnessing Li Yao kill Lian Jin with a single blow.
Therefore, when Li Yao's gaze fell upon him, he was so frightened that he immediately hid behind Queen Zhao.
King Xiaocheng quickly pulled his son out and said to him, "My son, this is Grand Tutor Li, who will be teaching you martial arts from now on. Why don't you pay your respects to Grand Tutor Li?"
When Shaojun saw Li Yao staring at him with a smile, he was so frightened that his knees buckled and he knelt down in front of Li Yao, bowed, and immediately hid behind Queen Zhao.
King Xiaocheng shook his head helplessly and apologized to Li Yao, saying, "My son is a little shy, I hope the Grand Tutor will not take offense."
In fact, King Xiaocheng treated Li Yao with such respect in order to win him over.
In a short period of time, Li Yao brought the Mohist guild of the Zhao state under his control and removed all the spies within the guild.
Such swift and decisive actions are enough to show that Li Yao is no ordinary person.
He had long been thinking of winning over Li Yao and bringing him under his wing.
That's why we have this imperial banquet today.
Today's imperial banquet is specially prepared for Li Yao.
Originally, he was thinking of what excuse to use to win Li Yao over.
Unexpectedly, Lian Jin challenged Li Yao, and Li Yao even killed Lian Jin with a single blow.
He certainly wouldn't miss such a great opportunity.
Therefore, he immediately appointed Li Yao as Grand Tutor.
As for bestowing the title of Sword God upon Li Yao, it was a sudden, divine inspiration on his part.
Li Yao had long been fully aware of King Xiaocheng's ulterior motives.
As it happened, King Xiaocheng granted him the position of Grand Tutor, which suited his wishes perfectly, so he did not refuse.
After the imperial banquet ended, Li Yao had just stepped out of the main hall when a clear female voice rang out behind him, "Grand Tutor Li, please wait."
Li Yao turned around and saw a beautiful woman in palace attire looking at him with a smile on her face. The woman also exuded a rich fragrance.
Li Yao frowned slightly and asked, "Who are you?"
The woman gave Li Yao a charming smile and introduced herself: "I am the king's younger sister, Zhao Ya. Everyone calls me Lady Ya."
It turns out she was the Lady Ya whom Xiang Shaolong both loved and hated.
Li Yao said calmly, "Greetings, Madam Ya."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Lady Ya was taken aback, never expecting Li Yao to be so cold to her.

Lady Ya was stunned for a moment, then quickly called out again, "Grand Tutor Li, please wait!"
Li Yao stopped and turned around, asking with a puzzled look, "Madam Ya, is there anything else?"
Lady Ya tidied her hair shyly and said with a hint of resentment:
"Grand Tutor Li, am I really that ugly?"
Why don't you even look at me properly, or say a word to me?
"Also, a few days ago, I invited you to my residence twice, why didn't you come?"
"Am I really that hateful to you?"
Humans are strange creatures. Whether men or women, they always want what they can't have and always want to conquer what they can't have. The more unattainable something is, the more they want it and the more they want to conquer it.
Li Yao's repeated ignoring of Lady Ya aroused her curiosity and desire to conquer.
She really wanted to know what kind of person Li Yao was, that he wasn't interested in her at all.
You should know that in the entire Zhao Kingdom, no man could resist falling at her feet with just a flick of her finger.
Unless, the other person isn't a real man!
Could it be... that this Li Yao, like her brother, also has homosexual tendencies?
Thinking of this, Madam Ya's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Li Yao smiled calmly and said, "Madam Ya, you misunderstand. You are very beautiful, but as a Mohist, I have always been dedicated to eliminating the great harm to the world and realizing the great benefit to the world. As for other things, I have no time to think about them."
After saying that, he turned and left.
All that remained was the disheveled Lady Ya, standing in the wind.
The two Mohists behind Li Yao, seeing that their leader was completely unmoved by the most beautiful woman in the Great Zhao, couldn't help but admire Li Yao even more.
They all knew that Lady Ya was famous for her beauty, and many men of noble status had been captivated by her and become her lovers.
However, their tycoon didn't even glance at Madam Ya.
That composure is truly impressive.
Li Yao, accompanied by two Mohists, walked out of the Zhao King's Palace and saw the Wu family waiting not far outside the palace.
When Wu Shilu saw Li Yao come out, he quickly stepped forward to greet him and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Your Excellency, on your promotion to Grand Tutor and the conferment of the title of God of the Sword."
Li Yao quickly smiled, cupped his hands, and said, "Thank you very much!"
After exchanging pleasantries, Wu Shi Luo leaned back slightly.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Yingyuan, who was behind Wu Shilu, stepped forward and said with a guilty expression, "Grand Tutor Li, in fact, Lian Jin's challenge to you was not authorized by our Wu family. We also did not know that the traitor Lian Jin was actually Zhao Mu's man."
Li Yao smiled lightly and said, "I know this has nothing to do with your Wu family, otherwise I wouldn't have exposed Lian Jin's background in public."
Wu Shilu and Wu Yingyuan were both surprised and delighted, never expecting Li Yao to be so understanding.
Now, Li Yao is not only the leader of the Mohist guild, but also the Grand Tutor of the Zhao state, and has been bestowed the title of God of Knives. Such a person is not someone the Wu family can afford to offend.
Previously, they were unable to explain this matter to Li Yao at the imperial banquet.
That's why they waited outside the palace to explain the matter to Li Yao.
Wu Shilu laughed heartily and said, "Grand Tutor Li is indeed wise and mighty. He not only discovered the true nature of the scoundrel Lian Jin, but also killed this scoundrel with a single stroke."
Li Yao smiled modestly and said, "Elder Wu, you flatter me. It's just a trivial skill, not worth mentioning."
"Old Wu?"
