Chapter 93

Li Chen's words made Wu Nanzhi stick out her tongue, feeling that she seemed to have said the wrong thing.

Li Chen told her not to mind it; perhaps he had seen wrong.

Because Li Chen had only met the Crown Princess a few times, and his impression was still stuck from several years ago.

But that temperament couldn't be fake; it was truly impossible for an ordinary woman to appear like that.

He still remembered that when he was looking for Lin Yue'e, she had once mentioned seeing the Crown Princess's maid at the Music Conservatory.

So Li Chen felt that if Lin Yue'e hadn't judged incorrectly, the person who had just passed by on the distant pavilion might really be the Crown Princess.

Even if the Crown Prince's residence were in decline, it couldn't possibly fall to the Crown Princess to become a top courtesan to support the family.

Then what was the Crown Princess's purpose in appearing here? Just how deep was the background of this Music Conservatory? Did they have a close connection?

There seemed to be too many mysteries hidden here, but Li Chen wasn't interested.

At his level, he just wanted to find some fun; he was too lazy to consider complicated matters.

Being an emperor was enough; there was no need to do everything.

If he had to do everything, then what were the government offices for, and what was the Ministry of Justice for?

Every department in the imperial court had its own responsibilities.

He had cultivated to this level just to enjoy himself, not to suffer.

Moreover, he really wasn't very close with the Crown Prince.

Subsequent investigations by Lin Yue'e revealed that the Music Conservatory was under the control of the Ministry of Rites, and the Minister of Rites was a man of the Second Imperial Prince, who had been laying plans there for a long time.

And the Second Imperial Prince had already returned to the imperial capital at that time, but his whereabouts were unknown, so it was very likely he was in the Music Conservatory.

Then the Crown Princess's purpose in coming to the Music Conservatory was most likely to see the Second Imperial Prince.

This could also explain why the Crown Princess's maid had entered and exited this place many times.

Lin Yue'e had naturally also entered into the investigation of the Crown Prince's death case, but her direction was different from Pang Jin's.

But that was all a matter for a few days later.

When Li Chen took Wu Nanzhi away from the Music Conservatory, it was already late, and he casually said, "Do you want to go to my house?"

This was the best time for Wu Nanzhi to know Li Chen's identity, but she refused.

She was very curious about Li Chen's identity, knowing only that Li Chen's family must be officials.

However, she had a premonition that if she really went to Li Chen's house, she might not be able to get out.

This guy looked like the type who wouldn't let her go; she had felt this way since her first date with Li Chen yesterday.

Because this man didn't hide his intention to "keep" her and asked her to give herself to him; his purpose was too obvious, making her unable to handle it.

This made Wu Nanzhi wonder, would Li Chen be like this with every woman? For example, the one she saw at the Marriage Mountain last time.

Actually, Li Chen only did this to her; this method of his couldn't be used against Chu Ruoyan.

By the time Li Chen returned to the palace, the sky had already turned dark.

At this moment, he was studying the "Imperial Dragon Holy Scripture" given to him by the fifth prince, Li Ran.

The imperial family of the previous dynasty loved to study this kind of rather unorthodox cultivation technique.

The "Imperial Dragon Holy Scripture" consisted of five volumes in total, and the one Li Chen had was the first volume.

Even without collecting all of them, based on the partial content and annotations, Li Chen could judge.

To a beginner, this thing was just a rather unorthodox dual-cultivation technique.

It could rapidly increase one's cultivation base through plundering.

When cultivated to the Great Completion realm, the body would be protected by divine grace; with this layer of divine grace, one could not only resist external attacks and injuries but also isolate all evil arts and curses.

This was the benefit Li Ran had spoken of.

If cultivated to the supreme realm, one could even change other people's consciousness through intercourse.

It was said that the founding emperor of the previous dynasty had gained the world by relying on seven powerful women.

However, according to records, only that founding emperor of the previous dynasty had cultivated to that realm; subsequent emperors of the previous dynasty had all gone astray, let alone the supreme realm, they hadn't even reached the Sage Realm.

As long as Li Ran found all five volumes, Li Chen could try cultivating to the supreme realm. Because his way of reading books was quite unique, he had his own understanding.

These techniques were like an arithmetic problem; his calculation method was different from others, but the result could be accurate, which was where his comprehension ability was quite heaven-defying.

This was also the main reason why he could cultivate to this realm by researching blindly without a master's guidance.

The main point was abstract cultivation; don't worry about how I cultivate, just tell me if I've reached the max level.

As long as I can reach it, doesn't that mean my method is also correct?

So when guiding Li Sining in cultivation, Li Chen didn't care how she understood those techniques; in the end, he only wanted the result.

Actually, this cultivation method of Li Chen's was based on his own talent, which surpassed that of the technique's author.

Generally speaking, the authors of cultivation techniques wrote them according to their own cultivation processes.

But their own cultivation physique, what miraculous elixirs they had eaten, and what great opportunities they had encountered.

These were things they truly couldn't write into the book, and others couldn't replicate them one-to-one.

All great experts who had cultivated to the peak had their own unique legendary experiences.

!

Therefore, later generations studying the techniques they wrote would fall into confusion.

Thinking to themselves, I clearly followed what he wrote to cultivate, why couldn't I break through?

If they were lucky and encountered special opportunities, they could achieve enlightenment and figure out where they were lacking.

If they were unlucky, they might be stuck at this realm for a lifetime.

This was also the reason why, apart from the authors, others couldn't cultivate some techniques to the peak.

The successive emperors of the May Tian Ce Dynasty were the same; the founding emperor was at the Great Perfection of the Sage Realm, and the second emperor also cultivated according to the first generation's method.

Perhaps he had received the founding emperor's guidance, and although he wasn't as powerful as the founding emperor, he was at least at the Sage Realm.

After that, it became worse and worse.

Because they just cultivated according to the founding emperor's technique, and on top of that, there were the "nonsense" annotations of every generation of emperors.

Leading to each subsequent one cultivating more messily than the last.

The Second Imperial Prince didn't cultivate this; instead, he found a Sage Realm expert as a master, so his talent was able to be displayed, and at this age, he had reached the Observing Heaven Realm.

Entering the Heavenly Abyss Realm was also just around the corner.

Li Chen was even more fierce; he just finished reading the technique written by the founding emperor, and as for the annotations of the successive emperors, he didn't look at them at all.

At the time, Li Chen was thinking: You guys have such low cultivation, how are you embarrassed to write annotations here?

If you could understand it at all, why haven't you cultivated to the Sage Realm?

This kid didn't even follow the founding emperor's train of thought and was cultivating very abstractly, and in the end, he really succeeded.

In other words, Li Chen was now at least at the same cultivation level as the founding emperor of the May Tian Ce Dynasty.

After finishing this "Imperial Dragon Holy Scripture," it was already late, and just as Li Chen was preparing to summon Chu Ruoyan, a eunuch came to report that Ji Lianyu requested an audience.

Li Chen had thought that Ji Lianyu would definitely come again, but he hadn't expected her to come again so soon.

Was Lin Yue'e working that hard? Would it be a bit deliberate?

When he saw Ji Lianyu's slightly apologetic expression, Li Chen knew that Xu Zifeng must have caused trouble again.

"What, was Zifeng caught again?"

Li Chen put down the book, let Ji Lianyu sit beside him, and then began to heat up the dishes.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Zifeng has been brave and fierce since he was a child."

Once bitten, twice shy; she also began to slowly adapt.

"This child is really something; he doesn't let me worry at all."

If Xu Zifeng knew Li Chen said this, he would definitely be so angry he'd vomit blood.

What kind of talk is this! You're my father, and I still have to let you worry?
