Chapter 542

Early morning.

Li Rui, who had finished practicing, just walked out of the room when he saw Yuan An walking to the door with excitement.

Looking up.

"Master, I've broken through!"

Yuan An said.

"Broken through?"

A flash of surprise first crossed Li Rui's eyes, followed by a smile.

Yuan An was already at the Great Perfection of the Primordial Realm; the breakthrough he spoke of was naturally becoming a martial artist of the Upper Three Ranks.

"Not bad."

Li Rui nodded with gratification.

Looking at Yuan An again, the aura around his body was becoming increasingly thick; it was the sign of Tongxuan.

Looking at Yuan An, who could already be called a little grandmaster.

He couldn't help but sigh.

As he lived, his disciples had become the great figures of the Jianghu that he only dared to listen to as stories back then.

Regarding Yuan An's breakthrough, Li Rui was not the least bit surprised.

Although he was the youngest and lowest in seniority among the disciples, in terms of resources and talent, Yuan An was the best among the five disciples.

The young Marquis of the Marquis of Annan's mansion.

Both parents were Upper Three Ranks; if he couldn't practice to Tongxuan, that would be a disgrace.

Yuan An bowed very low and performed a respectful salute: "That the disciple could break through is all thanks to Master's teachings."

The further he walked, the more he felt the terror of his master.

Too steady.

The stamina was too strong.

As if he could always keep some spare strength at any time.

Having spare strength is not strange, but if one only uses seven-tenths of one's strength in everything, that is what people often call unfathomable.

This kind of person is the most terrifying.

One can't reach the bottom at all.

Li Rui smiled kindly: "Get up, my lineage doesn't have so many formalities."

Yuan An then stood up.

He took a deep look at his master.

Before, when he first became a disciple, there were no lack of rumors; the Marquis of Annan found a Tongxuan expert as a master for his only son, which was truly contrary to common sense.

Even if Yuan Dingting was in his prime and not in a hurry, even if Li Rui's potential was indeed not bad.

There were still many criticisms.

But now.

No one would criticize anymore.

Li Rui had already grown into a towering tree; even if Yuan Dingting passed away and he sat in the position of Marquis of Annan, his master would be enough to protect him.

He was even more convinced.

His master would definitely be able to step into the First Rank and become a terrestrial immortal that the world looked up to.

By then.

His identity would be the son of a terrestrial immortal, a disciple, the grand-disciple of a Heavenly Human... wouldn't he be able to walk sideways in this world!

Yuan An's heroic spirit suddenly arose.

Who says a son is not as good as his father?

With Li Rui as his master, he might be able to make a great name for himself in the future.

What is Master's is naturally the disciple's.

His master's master was like this, and he was naturally the same.

Just like Li Rui's teachings.

If you have an advantage and don't use it, isn't that equivalent to not having an advantage.

He had long since been different from the past, still fearing that others would always say he only had success because he was Yuan Dingting's son, and so on and so forth.

So what if he is Yuan Dingting's son?

Now he is also the disciple of the Taiping Ling!

He should be proud.

Li Rui looked at his increasingly steady little disciple and was even more gratified: "Alright, go practice."

Watching Yuan An leave.

He couldn't help but sigh.

Now his four disciples had all reached the age of being able to stand on their own, one by one leaving his wings and having their own achievements.

This was very good.

He smiled and was just about to return to the house to continue cultivating, but the smile at the corner of his mouth suddenly froze.

Just see on the grassland of the Qinghe enclosure not far away.

An extra figure appeared abruptly. It was an old man, with a fair face and no beard, a hooked nose, a tall stature of eight feet, and he was wearing an extremely bright red robe.

The old man and Li Rui were far apart.

Li Rui felt a shock in his heart.

He didn't know anything about the appearance of this old man.

"He's an expert!"

He didn't have any extra movements, just narrowed his eyes slightly.

The crown on the old man's head was extremely special; a round top, with a ring-shaped board rising from the back of the hat, just enclosing three sides, leaving the front empty; that was the Three-Mountain Crown worn by the inner officials in the imperial palace.

He was a eunuch.

What surprised Li Rui even more was that the bright red robe worn by this old eunuch was embroidered with a large python, which was a genuine bright red python robe.

These years.

There were more and more cases of exceeding the regulations in the Yu Kingdom.

Just like Li Rui's flying fish suit, there were quite a few officials who privately imitated it.

But only this bright red python robe, no one dared to imitate it.

Those who could wear this were, without exception, all top-tier big figures.

Last time he saw it.

It was still the Duke of Wei.

The Duke of Wei was able to get a bright red python robe only because of his predecessor's remaining glory.

The next instant.

The old eunuch's figure flashed and appeared before Li Rui; he actually performed a salute: "This old slave greets the Taiping Ling."

Li Rui didn't dare to be arrogant and also performed a salute: "Greetings, Eunuch."

The old eunuch straightened up and looked at Li Rui with a smile: "The Taiping Ling is truly as extraordinary as the rumors say; this old slave is truly envious. This time, I am acting on His Majesty's decree to go south to Yunzhou. The Gao family is colluding with the Imperial Preceptor and intends to rebel; His Majesty ordered this old slave to come and watch the Imperial Preceptor."

Rebel?

Li Rui's pupils contracted slightly.

These two words were quite extraordinary, but when spoken from the mouth of this old eunuch, they were extremely light.

The Emperor was going to take action against the Gao family and the Imperial Preceptor!

Regardless of whether it was a trumped-up charge.

The appearance of the old eunuch already represented the Emperor's determination.

Li Rui couldn't help but secretly take a few more looks at the old man before him who was so tall he didn't look like a eunuch.

"The imperial court really hid someone!"

This old eunuch before him had never been known to outsiders and was not even in the world's martial arts rankings.

Li Rui had actually seen this old man.

Right in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

This old eunuch was the great eunuch of the Divine Palace Supervision.

Everyone knows that there are twelve supervisions in the palace, and the one with the greatest authority is undoubtedly the Ceremonial Supervision; this Divine Palace Supervision was just an idle position for sweeping the Imperial Ancestral Temple; he didn't expect such a big figure to be hidden here.

Just say it like this.

If the situation of this old eunuch were converted to those immortal sects, it would be called the sect's foundation.

Only when the sect has a major change will they take action.

In order to deal with the Imperial Preceptor.

The Emperor could be said to have racked his brains, even not hesitating to let this foundation of the country, who was hidden extremely deep, take action.

The old eunuch Zheng Yannian said lightly: "Lord Taiping Ling, this old slave wants to ask you to write a letter to your master, asking him to come out of the mountains to help; the imperial court will definitely have a generous reward, to avoid the Imperial Preceptor from causing chaos to the national fortune, leading to the suffering of the people."

Li Rui was not surprised.

He had long anticipated this.

The Imperial Preceptor was what kind of person; if he were forced into a corner, he would cause a heaven-turning and earth-shaking change, and the Yu Kingdom's imperial court would definitely not have a good time.

And the only person in the world who had the ability to suppress a country's fortune was his master, Gao Tianxia.

One must know one thing.

The relationship between his master and the Yu Kingdom was that of allies, not subjects.

On the matter of killing the exiled immortals, the goals of both sides were consistent, but regarding the Imperial Preceptor, it was different.

Gao Tianxia would definitely not listen to the Emperor's words.

But if Li Rui, the grand-disciple, went to say it, it might be feasible.

Zheng Yannian had heard.

Gao Tianxia was close to his descendants; he didn't care about his disciples, but he was extremely attentive to this grand-disciple.

One could see clues from that time at the Dingshan villa.

In other words.

To Gao Tianxia, Li Rui's words were more effective than the Emperor's edict!

Li Rui pondered for a moment, and then nodded: "Good."
