"No?”Sun Zhang was sent into a daze for a moment by his reply, he seemed to have received a great blow from the Haotian Marshal.
Originally, he thought based on his identity and by personally coming here to the Marshal Mansion to accept Huang Xiaolong as his disciple, Marshal Haotian would agree happily, but he was actually rejected.
Sun Zhang's face was slightly darkened due to unhappiness.
Marshal Haotian looked at Sun Zhang's expression and he thought for a moment before replying, “Sun Zhang, this matter, I really cannot make a decision!"
"You can't decide?”Sun Zhang was stunned, Huang Xiaolong's“, isn't he your bastard son?"
An illegitimate child? Instantly, beads of sweat and black lines appeared on the forehead of the Haotian Marshal; this old thing really thought that the Sovereign was ...?!
Marshal Haotian's face was solemn and gloomy as he said, “Sun Zhang, not to mention me, even my Master cannot decide!"
"Your master? Senior Yu Ming, can't decide!”Surprise was clearly visible on his face; yu Ming was a Xiantian Tenth Order expert! But Yu Ming could not make a small decision for Huang Xiaolong?!
Then, what was Huang Xiaolong's true identity?
Marshal Haotian nodded seriously at Sun Zhang.
The truth was, there was something he did not say to Sun Zhang and that even his own Shizu was not qualified to take Huang Xiaolong as a disciple.
Shizu Marshal Haotian!
Saying it out loud would be too shocking; thus, the Haotian Marshal kept it to himself and did not say it to Sun Zhang.
Although they were good friends, Marshal Haotian had never spoken of his relationship with the Asura Gate, so Sun Zhang had no idea he was an Asura Gate disciple.
Not long after, Sun Zhang came out of the Marshal Mansion disappointed. He looked up at the blue sky with groups of floating white clouds and dazzling sunlight.
“Do not expect the identity of the little one to be very not simple.”Sun Zhang muttered to himself. “Can he be the Prince of the Duanren Empire?”Then, he shook his head, ignoring the thought.
Leaving the Marshal Mansion, Sun Zhang went straight back to the Academy.
Nightfall.
The heat of the day slowly dissipates as night falls and the cool breeze blows at night.
Huang Xiaolong was sitting cross-legged on the cold jade bed in the main bedroom of Tianxuan Mansion. Battle qi circulated in his meridians; however, he did not practice. These past few days, a thought had come to his mind; as his twin dragon martial spirit could fuse into one and they could split up into two independent entities, it was only possible to separate into two independent entities, then maybe he could call them individually.
And now he was experimenting on how to complete individual summoning.
If he could control and summon only one of his martial spirits out, then he would not have to worry about his twin martial spirits being discovered by others. Under normal circumstances or during a battle, he would only release the black dragon.
But regardless of the efforts for two days, every time Huang Xiaolong summoned his martial spirit, a black and blue dragon would appear. It is similar to the left and right hand writing different characters at the same time, an impossible action.
Because humans cannot focus on two things simultaneously.
Xiaolong's efforts failed again and again, but he did not feel discouraged and kept trying after every failure.
The night passed when dawn arrived, bringing light. Although he was unsuccessful, he found that control over his twin dragon martial spirit had become more refined.
Previously, he needed at least three breaths to summon his martial spirit, but now he could do so within two breaths.
Observing the slaves, Huang Xiaolong nodded in satisfaction. In just a few days time, these slaves had familiarized themselves with the movements, showing their battle skills and understanding of battle qi quite well. It was a requirement he gave Fei Hou - the people he wanted had to fulfill two things: number one was loyalty, and second, loyalty, have a certain level of understanding in battle qi and battle skills.
“Young Master!”Seeing Huang Xiaolong walking around, Fei Hou quickly climbed up as a greeting.
Huang Xiaolong nodded. Then he pointed at Beastman Boli who was practicing Luohan Fist in the square, saying to Fei Hou, “You are more guiding Boli so that he can guide the others, leaving you time for your own practice."
“Ya, Young Master!”Fei Hou replied respectfully.
"Let's go. Accompany me for a walk outside.”Huang Xiaolong said to Fei Hou. He had been in the city of Luo Tong Kingdom for a few days and had yet to take a good look. So, Huang Xiaolong decided to go out.
Also, he would go to the Silvermoon Forest two days later and would stay inside for five months. So, he wanted to buy some items and visit Li Lu as well as the Li Family silk shop. He had grown taller ever since he left the Huang Clan Manor, reaching a hundred and fifty centimeters, so he might as well have some new sets of clothes made there.
Huang Xiaolong, Fei Hou, and the four Marshal Mansion guards stepped out of the Tianxuan Mansion and walked along the way.
The morning was bright, and the air was fresh. Xiaolong was in a good mood as he walked along the street as it got busier with the common people and the shops also opened for business for the day.
The truth is, living an ordinary life is also a kind of happiness.
Passing through several streets, the six of them finally arrived at the Li Family silk shop shop.
Since it had not been a week since the Academy's lessons began, Li Cheng, who had accompanied Li Lu to the Royal City, had yet to return to Canglan County. When he saw that a group of Xiaolong people were coming, he quickly walked out of the inner hall to meet them.
“Xiaolong, Senior Fei Hou!”Li Cheng greeted with a smile.
Xiaolong nodded and called Li Cheng 'Uncle' as he entered the shop with Fei Hou and the others.
Li Cheng invited them to the inner large hall, quickly ordering the servants to serve tea. This time before Huang Xiaolong, Li Cheng's actions were somewhat stiff, and as he sat down, his hands trembled not knowing what to do with them.
Seeing this, Huang Xiaolong guessed that Li Cheng already knew about what happened during the assessment of the new students - that he had almost turned Jiang Teng into trash. Li Cheng might have also heard rumors that he had an indeterminate relationship with the Haotian Marshal.
It had already spread throughout the entire Royal City, he was connected to the Haotian Marshal no longer a secret.
As for what kind of connection it was, the public continued to speculate and many different versions came out.
“Uncle, I came to order some sets of clothes.”After sitting down, Huang Xiaolong explained his goal.
“Create multiple sets of clothes?”Li Cheng emptied for a moment then quickly stood up. He had personally gone to the measurement tool to record Huang Xiaolong's measurements. Huang Xiaolong laughed, asking him to let the servants do it. However, Li Cheng insisted on doing it himself, which made Xiaolong feel embarrassed and awkward.
As he watched Li Cheng take measurements, Xiaolong could not help but think of his parents in the Huang Clan Manor, Huang Peng and Su Yan. If they knew he was in the Royal City and Li Cheng took measurements personally, what would they think?
It was done quickly and they both sat down. After he thought of something for a moment, he said to Li Cheng, “Uncle, my mother and father had no idea that I was here in the Royal City. For now, I want to keep this from them, just in case they are too worried. When you get back, please don't mention this to my parents."
Understanding the underlying meaning of Huang Xiaolong's words, Li Cheng assured him hurriedly, "Xiaolong, don't worry. I won't say these things when I get back."
Huang Xiaolong nodded his head. Otherwise, when he returned at the end of the year, the two would definitely bother him with many questions about this.
At this moment, in the display case, there was suddenly a commotion and angry screaming voices.
Huang Xiaolong frowned at the loud noise - he could tell that someone was trying to make trouble outside. Also, Li Cheng's expression was not good when he heard the angry and scolding voice from the display case.
These past few days, there had been someone who had deliberately come to make trouble, even aggressively attacking and injuring the shop workers. He didn't expect them to show up again today.
