"Ah! You deserve to die!"

After the second prince came to his senses, he couldn't help but scream and began to fight back not to be outdone.

The two men soon struggled with each other, and the people around them were so shocked that they didn't know how to separate them, so they had to rush to find the emperor.

Xiao Wan's soul body floated out of the self-nurturing soul jade at some point and floated quietly in mid-air. Looking at the scene in front of him, there was only expected calmness in his eyes.

He does not deny that there are people in this world who still maintain an innocent heart even though they have experienced the suffering of the world. But once more people realize the power of resistance and taste the taste of freedom, they will no longer be willing to live a plain and humble life and accept the persecution of fate.

——People who have been kneeling on the ground for a long time will not want to kneel down again even if they only stand for a day.

Soon, Emperor Qi was alerted and came to a corner outside the palace academy. He forced his guards to separate the two people who were struggling together.

Seeing that the two people with bruised noses and swollen faces were still glaring at each other, Emperor Qi's face became even more gloomy and he got angry: "The princes of the two countries are fighting each other like shrews, how unbecoming it is!"

Amidst Emperor Qi's angry scolding, the originally arrogant second prince had unknowingly lowered his head obediently, with a look of shrinking on his face.

Chu Yu's mood was unexpectedly calm.

It was obvious that not long ago, even with the company of his seniors, his hands and feet would still tremble when facing the Qi Emperor, but at this moment, he was actually extremely calm.

He only felt as if his consciousness was divided into two halves.

Half of it remained in the body, calmly responding to Emperor Qi's questions. The other half seemed to have separated from the body, looking down at the scene below with a somewhat confident detachment.

Sure enough, this time he still didn't receive much punishment, but Emperor Qi sent a few more guards, whether under house arrest or under surveillance.

Chu Yu returned to his courtyard in silence, his expression looking a little distracted. It wasn't until he locked himself in the dormitory that he seemed to wake up, and a burst of bright light suddenly burst out from his eyes.

"Senior, I was wrong." He looked a little excited, "What you said before was right. Some things... you really won't know the result unless you try it."

It was as if he had never thought of resisting before. He always felt that he was still the inconspicuous prince in the Chu Kingdom's palace, and that if he made a slight move, he would be in trouble. But he forgot that now he had the title of Prince of Chu on his head, so he didn't have to suffer such a cowardly attitude.

In mid-air, Xiao Wan's figure gradually appeared. The snow-white clothes flashed in front of Chu Yu. His expression was cold, his voice was like snow and frost, and he chuckled softly, as if he was mocking Chu Yu's self-slapping behavior.

"...Do you regret it in just three days?"

Chu Yu didn't care about Xiao Wang's somewhat indifferent attitude, he just raised his head sincerely, as if there were stars twinkling in his eyes.

"Senior, I want to have enough power, can you help me?"

Looking at the determined look on the face of the young boy in front of him, Xiao Wan slowly raised a faint smile on his lips, like a breeze blowing through the clouds, the greenery was stained with ice and snow, and a little smile was smeared in his eyes. , just like the bright moon dotting the night sky.

It seemed that until this moment, his eyes, which had always been empty and cold, as if the whole world was invisible, finally contained the small figure of Chu Yu.

For the first time, Xiao Wan saw a faint radiance from the soul in this clumsy and timid young man.

And for those who truly strive for self-improvement, Xiao Wan is always willing to provide some help.

He responded softly: "Of course."

"——So, what price are you willing to pay?"

Chapter 12 Foreigner 5

"Huh...huh..."

In the empty yard, Chu Yu stopped running and panted heavily. His originally pale face was flushed with red, and fine beads of sweat fell on his forehead, sliding down his smooth and delicate chin.

——This is the legendary exercise method for ordinary (poor) people (ghosts).

After persisting in exercising every day, Chu Yu's body looks much stronger than before, no longer so weak, his eyes are even more radiant, and his mental outlook has changed drastically, with full vigor.

"Department... system, how is it? My... today's task... is completed?"

Breathing slightly, Chu Yu asked intermittently.

A cold mechanical voice sounded in his mind: [The first phase of physical training tasks has been completed. Reward Roast Chicken 1. 】

[It is recommended to rest for half an hour before starting to practice calligraphy. 】

"Um!"

Chu Yu's eyes lit up and he nodded heavily.

After washing up and changing his clothes, he meticulously sat down at his desk and started practicing calligraphy in accordance with the system's requirements.

After completing the last task of the day, Chu Yu subconsciously touched the residual jade hanging around his neck, feeling relieved.

This strange existence called the system was left on him by the mysterious senior. As long as he sets a small goal for himself, the system will make a reasonable time plan for him, and set the process of approaching the goal into small tasks one after another. There will be special rewards for completing each task.

Thinking of this, Chu Yu's eyes widened when he saw the fragrant roast chicken appearing out of thin air, his little face bulged slightly, and he quietly swallowed a sip of saliva.

Even though he had experienced the same scene several times, his eyes were still full of wonder, and he could not hide the horror in his heart.

This method of creating things out of thin air has greatly exceeded his cognition. It is simply the legendary immortal technique, which left a very deep impression on Chu Yu's young mind.

"It's amazing! If I also know this immortal technique, I won't be hungry before..."

Muttering a little childishly, Chu Yu touched his round belly and burped.

In the soul-nourishing jade, Xiao Wang's soul was sleeping quietly, and his consciousness was in a state of neither dream nor wakefulness. Occasionally, he would check the situation outside, and spend more time warming his soul.

At this time, he happened to hear Chu Yu's low sigh, and he couldn't help but be speechless.

After Chu Yu rejected his proposal before, Xiao Wang changed his mind.

In three days, he separated the system in his consciousness into more than ten subsystems, and then put them out one by one.

From then on, Xiao Wang signed voluntary contracts with those who were unwilling to accept the status quo through the subsystem, helping the other party to counterattack life while collecting the power of time and space plucked by the string of fate.

In the end, most of the space-time power went into Xiao Wang's pocket, and the remaining small part of the space-time power was used to motivate the existence of those hosts, and through the principle of material energy conversion, it became various rewards needed by the other party.

This can also be regarded as an alternative "the wool comes from the sheep".

Although Chu Yu changed his mind in just three days and decided not to endure it anymore, but to strengthen himself. But Xiao Wang did not intend to put all the chips on him, but just gave him a subsystem as well.

As for the rewards of the subsystem, they are set by the host within a certain range. Anyway, the principle is to consume a certain amount of space-time power and convert material energy.

Despite this, when Xiao Wang saw the series of "roast chicken 1" records in the background of Chu Yu's subsystem, he couldn't help but fall into a deep silence.

... How deeply does this little guy love roast chicken!

——

The hostage is closely connected to the palace and is located in an inconspicuous corner of the imperial city. In Xiangyunfang, not far from the palace gate, there are dignitaries living.

The General's Mansion of General Lu Jin is located in it. Outside the vermilion lacquered gate, two vivid stone lions are particularly eye-catching. The big red lanterns are hung high, shining on the flat and wide stone road in front.

When Chu Yu came to the General's Mansion with familiarity, the gatekeeper immediately invited him in respectfully. After all, Chu Yu has come here every day for the past half month, and he has become a familiar customer of the General's Mansion.

General Lu Jin is still wearing a dark cloak, sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the garden, with thin lips tightly pursed on his angular face, sharp eyes, and a bit of inhuman coldness. The iron-blooded temperament honed by years of fighting on the battlefield is fully revealed in him. 〓This〓work〓is〓provided〓by〓 ... Chu Yu subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but he quickly pinched his palm, restrained his unruly legs, and stood there steadily.

"General Lu, I want to worship you as my master."

Seeing Lu Jin's straightforward and decisive character, Chu Yu no longer beat around the bush, bowed deeply, and spoke in a very sincere tone.

"Worship me as your master? Ha!" Lu Jin repeated in surprise, sneered, and his face darkened, "Has the Prince of Chu forgotten Lu's identity? He actually wants to worship me, a traitor of the Chu State?"

His strong momentum suddenly burst out, as if a storm was about to fall in the next second, which made Chu Yu a little overwhelmed.

Fortunately, the experience of these days has tempered his will. At this time, Chu Yu is no longer the coward who would only shrink back when encountering danger.

His mind was clear, he straightened his back, looked at Lu Jin, and said one sentence after another according to Xiao Wang's instructions: "Don't you want to return to Chu in glory and wash away your father's stigma? Isn't a prince taught by you the best candidate?"

Lu Jin took a deep look at the young man in front of him, and was slightly surprised that the other party, or the existence behind the other party, could guess his thoughts.

Lu Jin, who grew up with the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, naturally couldn't really betray Chu with a clear conscience.

Even though his father died because of the narrow-minded actions of the previous generation of Chu monarchs, and the Lu family was resentful of the Chu royal family, the elders in the family never taught their children to betray Chu, but wanted to wash away the stigma.

Influenced by such a family style, coupled with his own upright character, Lu Jin naturally wanted to restore his father's reputation in an upright way.

And now Chu Yu put such a path in front of him.

Lu Jin's eyes flickered a few times, and he suddenly asked back: "Even so, does Your Highness still have hope of returning to Chu to inherit the throne? Why do you think I will choose you?"

Everyone in the world knows that the Emperor of Chu treats his legitimate son like a pearl and a treasure, and the Crown Prince Chu Yu is just a cannon fodder?

"...What can I rely on?" Chu Yu was still calm and just uttered a sentence, "It's just... a rare commodity."

Although there are many princes in Chu, who else can Lu Jin choose except him?

Lu Jin fell into silence.

After a while, he suddenly laughed out loud, with a deep meaning on his unkind face, and stared at Chu Yu: "Haha, what a rare commodity! I admit that you persuaded me!"

"But you don't have to become my disciple." He folded his hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice, "As long as you can keep your promise and cooperate with me to restore the reputation that my father deserves in the future..."

"Great!" Chu Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and the emotions that he had been deliberately controlling leaked out, and he couldn't help showing a bright smile on his face, "General Lu, don't worry, I..."

Looking at Chu Yu's sincere and slightly excited expression, Lu Jin watched coldly and smiled silently in his heart.

The young boy in front of him was still too young. Although he spoke and acted in a methodical manner, he still couldn't hide his emotions well. There must be someone behind him.
