Immediately, Li Yao saw Princess Yunluo, her face full of anger, chasing after Cheng Shifei and punching and kicking him.
Behind them followed a palace maid.
When Yunluo saw Li Yao, she quickly put away her fist and suppressed her anger, saying with a reproachful look, "Master Li, where have you been? I've been waiting for you for ages."
Cheng Shifei, whose face was already bruised and swollen, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Lord Li, you're finally back. If you had come back half an hour later, I would have been beaten to death by this crazy woman."
"You dare call me a crazy woman? You're asking for death."
Yunluo's almond-shaped eyes widened, and she raised her small fist to strike Cheng Shifei.
"Lord Li, please save me!"
Cheng Shifei quickly circled around Li Yao's body to avoid him.
Yunluo also circled around Li Yao, chasing after Cheng Shifei.
Li Yao frowned and shouted, "Enough!"
Yunluo and Cheng Shifei were startled, like chicks, and stopped.
Li Yao glanced at Yun Luo and said, "As the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, I am very busy, unlike you, Princess, who is very leisurely."
"I know!"
Yunluo rolled her eyes and said, "However, you promised me that as long as I give you the Mermaid Pearl and the Heavenly Snow Lotus, you will take me as your disciple. Don't try to find an excuse to go back on your word."
Li Yao nodded and said, "Of course, did you bring the Tianshan snow lotus?"
"I brought it! I brought it!"
Yunlu nodded hurriedly, then said to Xiaonu, "Xiaonu, give me the Tianshan Snow Lotus."
The servant girl quickly handed a delicate box to Princess Yunluo.
Yunluo took the box, then with a smile, handed it to Li Yao and said, "Now can I call you Master?"
Li Yao said calmly, "Let me inspect the goods first!"
He then took the box and opened it.
Inside the box, there lay a flower with a very peculiar shape.
This is the Tian Shan snow lotus!
Although the snow lotus had long since withered, it still retained its original blooming appearance.
A faint, intoxicating fragrance wafted through the air.
Cheng Shifei craned his neck, looking curious, and asked, "Is this the Tianshan Snow Lotus?"
Yunluo said smugly, "See? It's true, isn't it!"
Li Yao nodded and said, "Yes, it looks real."
Yunlu pouted and raised her eyebrows, saying urgently, "What do you mean it looks real? It is real. I had a hard time stealing it from my brother. Don't try to deny it."
Li Yao chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, I was just kidding. What kind of martial arts do you want to learn? Tell me."
Yunluo was overjoyed. She touched her lips with her finger, thought for a moment, and said, "I like swordsmanship. Master, do you know any powerful sword techniques?"
Li Yao thought for a moment and said, "Yes, there are the Jade Maiden Sword Technique of Mount Hua, the Falling Petal Sword Technique of Peach Blossom Island, and the Jade Maiden Pure Heart Sword Technique of the Ancient Tomb Sect. Which one do you want to learn?"
Cheng Shifei exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, Lord Li, you are amazing! You know so many sword techniques!"
Yunluo shouted, "Shut up! If you keep making noise, I, the princess, will cut out your tongue."
Cheng Shifei was so frightened that he shut his mouth and covered his mouth with both hands.
Yunluo frowned and said to Li Yao, "I know about the Huashan Sect, but what about Peach Blossom Island and the Ancient Tomb Sect? I've never heard of them."
Li Yao explained, "These two sects have disappeared for many years."
Yunluo's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "I didn't expect that Master even knows the lost martial arts. He's amazing!"
Li Yao said, "Stop saying nice things, what sword technique do you want to learn?"
Yunluo's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "I want to learn them all!"
Li Yao was speechless for a moment.
Subsequently, he taught Princess Yunluo a set of Jade Maiden Sword Techniques and forced Cheng Shifei to learn it as well.
Thus, with Cheng Shifei, this little rascal, accompanying the willful and capricious Yunluo in practicing swordsmanship, Yunluo was spared the trouble of being bothered by him.
Finally, Yunluo was sent away.
Li Yao then went to his room and opened the box containing the Tian Shan snow lotus.
He reached out and touched the Tianshan snow lotus.
At that moment, a boosting sound rang in my mind.
Sure enough, the system can replicate the Tian Shan snow lotus.
However, it can only be copied once, and the copy cannot be used to make another copy.
Even so, it's already pretty good.
He first consumed the original Tian Shan snow lotus.
A moment later, he felt as if a raging fire had begun to burn in his chest and abdomen.
Soon, streams of domineering and unparalleled true energy surged into the eight extraordinary meridians, crashing wildly in all directions.
Li Yao immediately activated the "Great Dao True Scripture," guiding and transforming streams of extremely pure true energy.
After a complete cycle, the true energy generated by the snow lotus of Tianshan was gradually transformed into the true energy of the Great Dao.
At this moment, the burning sensation in his chest and abdomen gradually subsided.
Instead, a warm and comfortable feeling arises, which is very pleasant.
The effects of the Tianshan Snow Lotus are really good; it actually increased his true energy by more than 100 points at once.
This is more than the true energy one could obtain from a top-tier master.
It seems that Princess Yunluo deserves credit this time!
Three days later, Gu Santong finally returned, covered in dust, and brought Li Yao some good news.
He has already found out the whereabouts of Wan Sanqian.
As expected of Gu Santong, he found out Wan Sanqian's whereabouts in such a short time.
Now, Wan Sanqian lives in a villa in the southern suburbs of the capital.
Gu Santong said, "Young friend Li, I have completed the task you entrusted to me. Next..."
Li Yao smiled and said, "Your fiancée has been placed by Zhu Wushi in the Thousand-Year-Old Mysterious Ice Cave beneath the Heavenly Pool on the top of Tianshan Mountain."
"The Thousand-Year-Old Ice Cave?"
Gu Santong was surprised.
Li Yao nodded and said, "That's right, that's where you and Zhu Wushi obtained the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill and the Absorption Technique back then."
Gu Santong shook his head slightly, sighing deeply.
Li Yao continued, "However, Cao Zhengchun recently discovered Zhu Wushi's secret and has arranged for people to go to Tianshan to secretly transport your fiancée away."
"What?"
Gu Santong immediately jumped up and said anxiously, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
Chapter 166 Good Man Li Yao, An Unexpected Request
Upon hearing that his fiancée had been smuggled away by Cao Zhengchun, Gu Santong immediately panicked.
Li Yao smiled slightly and said, "You should be grateful to Cao the eunuch for bringing your fiancée back for you."
Gu Santong was quick-witted, and he immediately guessed, "You mean, that eunuch Cao transported Su Xin to the capital?"
"good!"
Li Yao nodded and said, "However, based on the journey, it should take another three days to reach the capital."
In fact, he had already instructed Lu Yichuan to arrange for the Embroidered Uniform Guard to monitor Cao Zhengchun's movements.
He then told Gu Santong the route by which Cao Zhengchun's men were transported back to Suxin.
Gu Santong was overjoyed to finally learn Su Xin's whereabouts.
At the same time, he was also eager to know something else.
So he asked Li Yao again, "Since you know where Su Xin is, you must also know about my son. Tell me, where is my son?"
Li Yao glanced at Cheng Shifei, who was playing around with Princess Yunluo outside, and said with a faint smile, "Right in front of you!"
Gu Santong jumped up in surprise, his eyes wide, and exclaimed, "It's you! You're my son?"
"Pah!"
Li Yao's face darkened, and he spat at Gu Santong, saying angrily, "Your good-for-nothing son is harassing a princess outside!"
Gu Santong scratched his head sheepishly.
Then, a look of surprise appeared on his face. Pointing at Cheng Shifei outside the house, he said incredulously, "That kid is my son?"
"yes!"
Li Yao nodded and said, "Look at you two, father and son, you're both the same, lazy and irresponsible, you're definitely a family."
At this moment, Gu Santong's excitement was beyond words.
He watched Cheng Shifei playing and laughing outside, sometimes laughing, sometimes shedding tears...
No wonder, when Cheng Shifei fell into the prison, he felt a strange sense of familiarity with Cheng Shifei, which is why he took Cheng Shifei out of the prison with him.
Unexpectedly, his son came to his side by sheer coincidence.
This must be a deliberate arrangement by God.
The ancient three passages were filled with emotion.
