Chapter Thirty-Four: The Disguise Ring

  Shangguan Muer's beautiful eyes also showed a hint of struggle, but she finally made up her mind "Xiaopang, Mom is my only relative, can you understand me?"

  Wu Wei Qing gently pulled her into his arms, and this time Ou Yang Fei Er didn't resist. She leaned against his broad chest and said, "Xiao Pang, I'll miss you too. Since getting to know you, although you always make me angry, over the past two years or so, I've gotten used to having you by my side every day. Although you're a bit of a coward, a bit shameless, and always up to no good, I know that your heart is actually very kind. If our feelings for each other are long-lasting, then what's the difference between morning and evening? When we get to the academy, won't we be able to be together again?"

  "Ah, Yichan, how could I stop you from being filial? If it weren't for my promise with Master Huyan, I should spend more time with Mom too. After I leave, when you have the chance, go visit my mom... no, our mom. Dad is always on the front lines, and she's very lonely."

  Shangguan Bing'er nodded gently "I'll definitely go. You should head back now, or else I won't want to part with you."

  Zhou Weiqing grasped her shoulders, lowered his head, and gazed at her slightly moist eyes. He lightly kissed her lips and whispered, "Once we're enrolled in the Flanders Royal Military Academy, with the heavens high and the emperor far away, no one will be bothering us, right? Can't we... you know?"

  "When your mind is always filled with despicable thoughts." Shangguan Bing'er burst into laughter and lightly patted him on the shoulder.

  "This is my happiness, how can I not fight for it? Alright, I'm leaving." After saying this, he turned his head and ran off, disappearing around the corner.

  Everyone watched him leave, and Xiang Bing'er stood still for a long time, her eyes brimming with tears. It wasn't until much later that she came back to herself and headed towards her own home.

  Zhou Weiqing ran very fast, in fact, the reluctance in his heart was not much more than Shangguan Fei'er's, but he feared seeing Shangguan Fei'er cry even more. He feared that he would be unable to bear it and give up on his promise with Huyan Aobo to stay behind and accompany her.

  After staying at home for two days and accompanying his mother, Zhou Weiqing decided to go to the Imperial Palace on the third day. One reason was to bid farewell to his adoptive father, Emperor Di Fengling, and another was to resolve the matter of his engagement with Di Fuya.

  "What? You want to cancel the engagement? No way." The Tian Gong Empire's imperial palace, study room. Emperor Feng Ling sat upright in his dragon throne, without hesitation rejecting Zhou Wei Qing's request.

  "Father, you also know that Empress Fiona never liked me and even looked down on me. Look at my appearance, I'm not worthy of her!"

  "Emperor Feng hummed, looked up and down at Zhou Weiqing twice, and said: "What's wrong with you? Tall, handsome, and excellent young man, what's not good about it? Can she say whether she likes it or not? Moreover, the times are different now, you have already awakened as a Tianzhu master, can we find a more outstanding youth in our Tian Gong Empire? Don't think about divorce, do you know what 'golden words and jade speech' mean? I'm your father-in-law, am I humiliating you?"

  "I...". Zhou Weiqing stuttered as he looked at Emperor Ling, although Emperor Ling was not his master, but in front of him, Zhou Weiqing didn't have any temper. From young to old, Emperor Ling could be said to have watched him grow up, this godfather was even more responsible than his own father. Even when he found out that Zhou Weiqing's meridians were blocked and couldn't cultivate, he still treated him the same, it could be said that apart from his own father, Zhou Weiqing feared this godfather with an emperor's majesty the most. "Godfather, I already have a woman I like." Zhou Weiqing tentatively said.

  "Oh? Who is it? Could she be even prettier than my Feya? Xiao Wei, back then Feya did hurt you, but in these two years, she has changed a lot. As a man, can't you let go of the past?"

  "Uncle, I'll be honest with you, I've already privately settled on marrying another girl. We've even done that. All that's left is for me to give birth to a grandson for you, I have to give them an explanation!"

  "What?" Emperor Feng's eyes widened, although he knew about Zhou Weiqing's Tian'er awakening, but the things that happened between Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Xue'er were too embarrassing for him to mention, so he naturally didn't know.

  "You stinky kid, how old are you? You've already done that with someone. You!" Emperor Feng Ling stood up from behind the dragon bookcase, and just as Zhou Weiqing thought he was going to scold him, he heard his adoptive father sigh and say: "This can't be blamed on you entirely, kids these days develop too early. If I had known earlier, I would have let you and Emperor Yuwen get married first. That way, you wouldn't have gone out and flirted with girls."

  "Ah?" Is that okay? (He, Zhou Weiqing even had some doubts, whether Emperor Yu was his own or he was his own. Emperor Feng Ling was completely doting on him.)

  "Xiao Wei, remember that as a man, you must first have strength. With strength comes confidence. A confident man can possess the qualities to attract women. Your uncle doesn't object to your having three wives and four concubines, but you must be restrained and not excessive. Understand?"

  Looking at Emperor Feng Ling's serious face, Zhou Wei Qing felt a sudden urge to laugh. He suddenly thought that his adoptive father seemed no different from his teacher, both of whom were extremely supportive of him chasing girls. One was just more straightforward and shameless about it, while the other was more dignified and proper in his words, but ultimately meant the same thing. "Adoptive father, what do you think about this engagement..." Zhou Wei Qing asked persistently.

  "Mind your own business, I don't care if you take a concubine or not. Stop being annoying and get out of here! By the way, Fuya is also at the Imperial Military Academy, so you two had better get along well. After graduation, I'll personally host your wedding." Before Zhou Weiqing could say anything else, Emperor Ling had already turned around and left, not giving him a chance to speak again.

  Depressed, Zhou Weiqing was now extremely depressed, how could he explain this to Bing'er? However, he soon thought of a solution. Wasn't Empress Difuya at the Fairy Royal Military Academy? Didn't she say that she would rather marry a pig or a dog than him? He would let her know what it means to be a rogue, making her suffer until she couldn't bear it, and then they could cancel their engagement together. If all else failed, he would just elope with Bing'er, haha.

  As he walked out of the study, Emperor Ling had a smile on his face and thought to himself: "You little brat, you think you can compete with me? You're still too young. Fuya, you must also make an effort, Father specially sent you to the Imperial Military Academy of Feilu just so that you could quickly capture this little brat's heart. Hua Feng told me that Xiao Wei's future will definitely not be limited to what Zhou Dage has achieved now. My daughter is so beautiful, can't she even capture this young man's heart?

  If Di Feng Ling knew that Zhou Wei Qing's privately determined lifelong partner was the Empire's number one beauty, Shangguan Fei'er, he probably wouldn't be so optimistic.

  Out of the imperial palace, Zhou Weiqing rushed straight to Shangguan Bing'er's home. For the past two years, they had been training in the Heavenly Bow Camp and would return once a month. He had also accompanied Shangguan Bing'er back before, so he was familiar with the route.

  Shangguan Bing'er's family lived in a very ordinary residential courtyard, and even after being granted the title of Viscount, the mother-daughter duo did not move out. Of course, this was not because Shangguan Bing'er was unwilling to move; she wanted to give her mother a better living environment, but Tang Xian said that she had grown accustomed to living there and refused to leave no matter what.

  When Zhou Weiqing arrived, Shangguan Xue'er was accompanying her mother in the courtyard planting vegetables. The small courtyard wasn't big, with half of it converted into a vegetable garden. Zhou Weiqing stood at the entrance, watching the stunning mother-daughter duo transplanting seedlings, and for a moment he couldn't help but be stunned. "You've come, why not come in?" Shangguan Xue'er hadn't even looked over at Zhou Weiqing, yet her voice had already carried over.

  "Aunt, hello." Zhou Weiqing chuckled and walked in. Upon seeing him, Dugu Bo had a look of joy on her face, but it was quickly replaced by a hint of sadness. They were about to be apart for several months, and she couldn't bear the thought of it.

  Tang Xian straightened her waist, and although she was wearing a coarse linen garment, it couldn't conceal her extraordinary beauty. She smiled slightly at Zhou Weiqing and said, "Xiao Pang, I heard from Bing'er that you're going to Fei Doutu City first?"

  In front of Tang Xian, Zhou Weiqing was very obedient and nodded hastily "Yes! I'm already 16 years old, it's time for me to go find Huyan teacher and listen to his teachings.

  Tang Xian nodded and said, "Xiao Pang, there are two things you must remember. Firstly, don't waste too much thought on the Condensed Form Scroll. Creating it consumes too much mental energy, which will affect your cultivation. Your own attribute of Intent Pearl is uniquely gifted by heaven, so don't waste it." "Yes," Mu Weiqing hastily replied. He was deeply respectful of this somewhat mysterious mother of Shangguan Yueling. His own mother's words were still ringing in his ears.

  Tang Xian smiled slightly and said, "There's one more thing. When you're practicing your Mind Imprint, try to imprint as many control-type skills as possible. Remember, it's always better to have too many control-type skills than not enough. Do you understand what I mean?" Zhou Weiqing replied honestly, "Not really."

  Tang Xian couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're indeed honest. To put it simply, any skill that Tianzhu Master possesses will have a short period of time where it cannot be repeated after use. For example, your 'Darkness Touch', with your current cultivation, after using it once, you won't be able to use it again for at least ten seconds."

  From this moment on, Little Three has become Old Three. From this moment on, there will be no more years starting with the word "two". At thirty, one stands firm.
