Chapter Twenty-Four: The Strongest Trump Card

  After one round, Wangwang lay in Wang Yu's arms, too lazy to move, feeling that all her energy had been drained by Wang Yu.

  Stroking the smooth, jade-like skin on her body, Wang Yu reminded her: "Bing'er, although you've already broken through to the 18th level of the Tianmo Great Technique, your power is not deep, and it's only because of a shortcut. It definitely doesn't have the same might as one that was cultivated with hard work. Based on my estimation, your current strength should be about the same as Master's. In an actual fight, you might still not be a match for Master, but that's just due to experience. After today, first solidify your realm in the mountain valley, and don't tell anyone outside that you've already broken through to the 18th level of the Tianmo Great Technique. Wait until you've stabilized your power and then formally leave the mountain."

  She lazily responded with a soft "en": "I'll listen to you. I still have some self-awareness, I've never had the extravagant hope of breaking through to the 18th level of the Tianmo Great Law and being on par with those great masters in Jianghu. As long as I can surpass the current successor of Cihang Jingzhai, that's enough. I'm still young, there's plenty of time for me to become a great master in the future."

  Wang Yu smiled. After all, Ling was the contemporary successor of the Yin Gu sect, and her intelligence and insight far surpassed those of ordinary people, making her a proud daughter of heaven. Without needing to remind herself, Ling also had a number in her heart. Wang Yu could only silently mourn for Shifu Xian in his heart. Originally, in the original work, when Ling first started out, she and Shifu Xian were evenly matched. But now, with Wang Yu's help, Ling's strength should far surpass that of Shifu Xian. It was unknown how Shifu Xian would react - could a fairy who had failed in competing with the successor of the Yin Gu sect still make the entire Jianghu admire and worship her? Wang Yu looked forward to it very much.

  "Xiang'er, in two days I'll head south for a trip to make preparations after my ascension to the throne and find some helpers." Since he told Zhu Yuanyan, of course he had to tell Xiang'xiang too. A bowl of water must be balanced evenly.

  "I'll go with you." Lingling said immediately. Even a witch wouldn't want to part with her lover after **.

  Wang Yu shook his head and said, "No need, your current top priority is to solidify your boundary. In the Jianghu, knives and swords have no eyes, the higher your skills, the more at ease I am. Moreover, I don't want to restrict your freedom, making you my subordinate. You should be free, and make a name for yourself in the Jianghu." Must I tell you that this time going south, I'm not only looking for help, but also looking for a woman? How could I possibly bring you along?

  Xian Xian didn't know Wang Yu's true intentions, but was actually moved by his words and said: "Brother, if you don't betray me, I won't betray you."

  Wang Yu wiped away a cold sweat, still didn't thoroughly teach. It's not that I owe you, but you can't owe me either, it seems like in the future we need to strengthen our teaching.

  Tang Tang and Wang Yu spent half a day in bed before parting ways. Tang Tang continued to consolidate the boundary within the valley. This valley was an excellent place for seclusion, with no one to disturb them. Only Zhu Yu Xian, Wang Yu, and Tang Tang knew of this place, and it was unknown how Zhu Yu Xian had found it all those years ago.

  Wang Yu then returned to the new imperial palace. Because something Wang Yu had planned for a long time was about to happen, Wang Yu needed to return to the palace early to make preparations. Although that thing did not have much attraction to Wang Yu, Wang Yu was determined to get it.

  The moon is dark and the wind is strong, in the blink of an eye it's already evening.

  Wang Yu sat cross-legged in the Eastern Palace, eyes closed in meditation. Last night, he had gained quite a bit from both Xuanxuan and Zhu Yuyan, especially from Xuanxuan who was still a maiden. Wang Yu needed to consolidate and digest it all.

  Suddenly, an old eunuch appeared in front of Wang Yu. His face was pale and beardless, looking like he was already sixty or seventy years old. He stood there quietly, without making a sound, as if he didn't exist.

  The old eunuch bowed his head to Wang Yu and said, "Your Highness, the woman you asked me to keep an eye on has made a move. She should be making her move tonight."

  Wang Yu opened his eyes and saw the old eunuch who had appeared suddenly without making a sound, showing no surprise but instead replied respectfully: "You've worked hard, Old Ancestor."

  The old eunuch's face showed a kind smile as he looked at Wang Yu and said, "Your Highness has wronged an old slave. This is what an old slave should do."

  Although there's nothing wrong with what they're saying, if an outsider were to see this conversation between Wang Yu and the old eunuch, they would definitely be shocked. When has a crown prince of a new dynasty ever shown such respect to an old eunuch?

  This thing dates back to more than a decade ago, when Wang Yu had not yet been accepted as an apprentice by Zhu Yuyan.

  At that time, the old eunuch was sent by Wang Mang to take care of Wang Yu's daily life, and he was just an inconspicuous eunuch. Wang Yu, influenced by his previous thoughts, was never harsh on his subordinates, especially the palace maids and eunuchs around him. After all, they were people around him, and in the future, Wang Yu was prepared to cultivate them into his own confidants. Moreover, there have been emperors and princes who were killed by eunuchs and palace maids throughout history, and Wang Yu did not want to die unknowingly in the future, so he was always very generous with these subordinates.

  This eunuch had also been taken care of by Wang Yu in those years. At that time, seeing that the eunuch was old, Wang Yu specially exempted him from many miscellaneous tasks and let him live a good life in the palace. With the good virtue of respecting the elderly and loving the young, every time he met this eunuch, Wang Yu showed great courtesy and never ordered him around.

  Wang Yu did not expect his actions would receive such a big reward.

  This is a world of martial arts, and in this world of martial arts, there is a kind of martial art that only eunuchs can cultivate. This martial art is very powerful, extremely powerful, it has a domineering name - "The Chrysanthemum Treasure Canon".

  Wang Yu was naturally also familiar with this divine art. However, Wang Yu had never paid attention to it because he originally thought that the "Hibiscus Treasure" shouldn't have appeared in this world yet.

  However, Wang Yu had forgotten that this was a world of martial arts. The creator of the "Kuihua Treasure", of course, was a eunuch. When Wang Yu found out that this old eunuch was actually the legendary Kuihua Old Ancestor, he was shocked and speechless on the spot.

  For Wang Yu, this is really an unexpected surprise. And this surprise is too big.

  Huaihua Laozu apparently had a very good impression of Wang Yu. As a eunuch, Huaihua Laozu had no children. Wang Yu became his spiritual pillar. From childhood to adulthood, Huaihua Laozu treated Wang Yu as if he were his own son. Towards Wang Mang, Huaihua Laozu did not have any feelings. Because Wang Mang was completely ignorant of martial arts and could not see Huaihua Laozu's prowess. However, towards Wang Yu, Huaihua Laozu was full of emotions. This was the first person in the world who truly treated him well, and at first, Wang Yu was indeed very sincere and had no intention of seeking any reward.

  Good people will be rewarded. From then on, Kui Hua Lao Zu became Wang Yu's number one confidant. At the beginning of his journey, Wang Yu had originally planned to abolish the inhumane profession of eunuchs after he became emperor. However, after meeting Kui Hua Lao Zu, Wang Yu directly abandoned this idea.

  Wang Yu had the old master of Kuihua revise the "Kuihua Baodian", removing some essential moves and mental methods, and personally renamed the revised "Kuihua Baodian" as "Bixie Sword Spectrum". Then he asked the old master of Kuihua to find some reliable eunuchs in the palace and teach them the "Bixie Sword Spectrum". Think about it, a group of eunuchs practicing the "Bixie Sword Spectrum", that would be an incredibly powerful force. And their loyalty wouldn't need to be questioned either.

  As for why not teach them the Huāhuā Bǎodiǎn, of course, this cannot be casually imparted. That King Yǔ can absolutely trust āihuā Lǎozǔ does not mean that he can also absolutely trust other people. Of course, some trump cards must be kept in reserve, at least making the worst assumptions, these eunuchs really have ulterior motives, and āihuā Lǎozǔ can suppress them.

  This eunuch army has helped Wang Yu a lot over the years. The death of Liu Xiu back then was done by them. To say, this is actually the strongest trump card that Wang Yu currently holds.
