"In other words, after you searched for me, did you choose to settle down here?"

Xia Xu asked in the Zhuo family hall.

"Ah... I am guilty. I have long thought that His Highness the Prince has passed away, so..."

"It's no wonder General Zhuo, but I am secretly depressed." Xia Xu sighed. Seeing this, he felt the gentle touch behind him. I guess Meng'er was comforting herself.

Turning his head, nodding slightly with Meng'er, and smiling at each other. Then, he continued to say to General Zhuo, "So, are you willing to go to the Eastern Region and continue to help me regain my national prestige!"

"This..." Zhuo Lingyan's eyes were filled with loneliness and desolation. She sighed and said, "Even if I want to serve to die, I..."

"Oh?" Xia Xu understood that the other party was not such a selfish person, so there must be some trouble. He asked with concern, "General Zhuo, what are the difficulties?"

"This...ah..." Looking at Zhuo Lingyan lowered his head in disappointment, "My cultivation level has been from the original Martial Saint realm to the fourth level of the Martial Sect now. With such humble cultivation level, what contribution can you make in your kingdom of Your Highness? This is one of them."

"Hahahaha." Hearing these words, Xia Xu couldn't bear to laugh, "General Zhuo has countless combat experience. Even if he has no cultivation, he can destroy all troops in his words. What's the fear of? Besides, with my current strength, I have the confidence to help you restore your cultivation."

"What, you said...help me recover!"

"We don't need to discuss this issue now. General Zhuo, what else is there to be a reason for what you said just now?" Xia Xu asked back.

"The second is also the matter of my parents." Zhuo Lingyan said, "Your Highness the Prince doesn't know anything. After the fall of the Great Xia Dynasty, the southern region was in chaos. Fortunately, the Ouyang Dynasty in the Northern region was a deacon. Although it was still a little confused, it still played some role."

"Oh?" This is the first time Xia Xu heard about this kind of news, "Ouyang Dynasty serves as a deacon?"

"Yes." Zhuo Lingyan continued, "As an old minister of the Daxia Dynasty, I was ordered to go to the border to maintain stability. But... my current cultivation level cannot maintain the war."

"So, Zhuo Yiling left for you?"

"Oh..." Zhuo Lingyan sighed, "I haven't seen her for four years. If I leave suddenly, I will definitely bring my eldest daughter with me. Your Highness, I..."

"I can understand." Xia Xu thought for a while, and suddenly laughed meaningfully, "Leave it to me."

"What?" It was obvious that Zhuo Lingyan was very surprised by what he said. However, after a long time, he felt relieved.

"By the way, I have another thing to ask the prince... No, I ask your Majesty!"

Yes, now that the father has fallen, he has become "Your Majesty".

"Please accept my son as your disciple, how about you?" Zhuo Lingyan said, his tone very distorted.

"A disciple... nothing is wrong. But what is the reason? I think General Zhuo would not have invited me to do such a thing without any reason."

"Of course." Zhuo Lingyan frowned slightly, "In the next few days, the five major families in the crescent moon domain will compete with each other. The requirements are probably the same as last year, and the elders will take their family children to a trial in a certain wilderness. However, if I take it, this year's competition may be absent again."

"In other words, let me help you win this competition." Xia Xu was a little surprised. Logically speaking, Zhuo Lingyan was not a person who liked interests. He shouldn't care about this little reputation at all.

"No, no, no, how dare I trouble Your Majesty because of this little thing?" Zhuo Lingyan bowed his head and said, "From the news, the place I chose this time was born. I think it may be helpful to Your Majesty's health."

"Is my body..." Xia Xu smiled with emotion, "Okay, then I thank General Zhuo."

"How dare...How dare..." Zhuo Lingyan said, "By the way, your Majesty's identity should be kept secret from my little girl. For that girl, hearing this kind of news may be too shocked."

"Okay." Xia Xu nodded, "Then, let's go and see Mr. Ling now."

"Then, your Majesty, please follow me."

Hearing this, Meng'er on the side stepped back behind Xia Xu and pushed her into a wheelchair, "Young Master, let's go."

...

A few minutes later, inside the Zhuo family yard.

"Ahhh? What?"

You can see from a distance that a black-haired girl with her hair on her back jumped up and shouted, "Bufan wants to worship him as her teacher? Oh, no! Although Xia Xu is not bad, isn't it very important to become a disciple..."

"I know this." Zhuo Lingyan smiled, "It is precisely because Xiaoyou Xia Xu is very outstanding as a teacher that I asked Bufan to worship him as his teacher. At the same time, in this way, Bufan is his chief disciple again."

"But... Dad, that... he is not very strong either." Zhuo Yining said unhappily, "This morning, he was almost bullied by the Pang family... If Bufan was asked to take Xia Xu as his teacher, whether Xia Xu or Bufan would be looked down upon by other families..."

"Ning'er, your words are a bit rude, Mr. Xia..."

"Forget it, General Zhuo." Xia Xu interrupted the conversation between the two and signaled Meng'er to push herself forward, "Otherwise, Miss Zhuo will just come and try my cultivation?"

Hearing this sentence, Zhuo Lingyan immediately interrupted: "How can such a disrespectful thing be..."

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay."

"You..." Zhuo Yining was still hesitant and turned to look at his father Zhuo Lingyan.

Seeing this, Zhuo Lingyan could only nod.

"Okay. Then Xia Xu... I'll take action, you have to be careful."

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere around him suddenly changed drastically, like a spring breeze.

In a trance, several wooden blades passed by. It was obvious that there was no move aiming at him, and they were all attacking his hair and the corners of his clothes.

Puff, this little girl.

Xia Xu naturally won’t remain unmoved. This move can be regarded as a brief version of his “Flying Leaf Jue”, if so.

He waved his hand slightly, and several tender leaves suddenly appeared in the void.

The wind moves and flys the leaves, as if invisible.

Another wave of his hand, and then all the opponent's attacks were eliminated. Xia Xu "used his own way to treat his own body" and surrounded her with flying leaves.

"Ahhh, you...why are you..."

Zhuo Yining had never thought of such a scene at first sight, and she seemed extremely panicked.
