C76 Grand Preceptor Xu Yi

The sudden appearance of this old man immediately attracted the attention of everyone present, and when they saw the latter appear, even the insolent Crown Prince Qing Zheng restrained his attitude.

"This is the current Grand Master Xu Yi. His literary talent is highly regarded by my father. Furthermore, he has already nurtured many outstanding talents for the empire." Qing Kangping said.

Chu Tian nodded. He had heard of this person even in his previous life. The latter and West Liang King were the foundation of Cloud Rising Country. No wonder Qing Zheng didn't dare to be arrogant in front of the latter.

"Greetings, teacher!" Qing Zheng said respectfully. At this moment, the latter was completely different from before.

"Crown Prince, there is no need to be like this. After all, you are a sovereign and I am a subject. It should be me who should bow." Xu Yi said. Then, the other party actually made a gesture and prepared to pay his respects to Qing Zheng.

Qing Zheng was also startled by this scene. He didn't dare to let Xu Yi pay his respects. If he really accepted this bow, then tomorrow, the entire Imperial Court would be impeaching him.

One must know that the hall was filled with civil and military officials. Many of them were Xu Yi's apprentices, even he, the Crown Prince, was a disciple of the latter.

"Teacher, are you trying to kill me? In this world, how can a teacher bow to a disciple? If my father finds out about this, I'm afraid he won't forgive me. What happened just now was merely a moment of youthful vigor. Teacher Wan Wang, please punish me. " At this moment, Qing Zheng's tone had also weakened.

This Qing Zheng was likely the person he was the hardest to deal with. The other party could be said to be highly respected. Even as the Crown Prince, he could not easily offend the latter.

"Crown Prince, although this Emperor's Heart Technique is overbearing, it is a technique that determines the authority of the entire empire. However, this benevolence is the foundation of the country. I hope you can be taught in this aspect. If you can learn the Emperor's Heart Technique, I'm afraid the Emperor will be very happy about it. " Xu Yi said.

"Thank you for your guidance, teacher. I will definitely not forget it." Qing Zheng said.

He understood that he could not let this matter continue. Otherwise, if this Xu Yi caught hold of any evidence and revealed the matter to his father, he was afraid that he would be in big trouble.

"Teacher, this disciple still has some important matters to attend to. This disciple will take his leave first. I will definitely pay a visit to teacher another day." Qing Zhengdao.

This was a place of conflict. Qing Zheng did not want to stay for long. After getting Xu Yi's promise, he left with his people. Xu Yi's gaze then shifted to the three people on the field.

"Grand Preceptor, greetings." Qing Kangping said.

"It's been a long time since the Third Prince played chess with this old man." Xu Yi said with a smile.

"Grand Preceptor, please forgive me. It's really not easy to cultivate in the Pill Cauldron Sword Sect. I will make up for it in another day. I hope Grand Preceptor can show mercy." Qing Kangping cupped his fists and said.

"Third Prince is being modest. Your chess skills have already reached the level of maturity. I'm afraid that you will surpass me in every aspect." Xu Yi stroked his beard and said with a smile. "May I know who this is?"

Xu Yi looked at Chu Tian. In fact, Chu Tian could tell. After going upstairs, Xu Yi looked at him from time to time. He was probably trying to figure out his identity. This man's eyes were extremely ruthless. Chu Tian really had a feeling that the latter had seen through him.

"Grand Preceptor, this is my friend, Chu Tian. I had a good chat with him. I was lucky enough to be invited by Miss Fragrant Sky because of my intimate friend. That's why I'm here." Qing Kangping said.

"So that's how it is. The sword chime from the Golden Axe Metal Horse just now was played by Mr. Chu Tian, right? Although this old man doesn't know anything about Sword Dao, he was able to do it. Little brother, this is enough to show that your cultivation base is above the Sword Dao. You are truly talented. " Xu Yi said.

Qing Kangping was very surprised in his heart. He knew very well that this Xu Yi had a very high opinion of people. Ordinary geniuses and beautiful women would never be able to enter his Magic Eye.

The fact that Chu Tian was praised by Xu Yi indicated how much he valued Chu Tian.

"The Grand Preceptor is too kind. This junior only knows a little about it. However, my rash action has disturbed the mood of the two of them." Chu Tiandao.

"Not arrogant and impetuous. It is indeed quite rare. It is already quite rare among the young people. Mr. Chu Tian may have said this in a rude manner, but I don't know if you are willing to be my disciple. When I heard that you were talking about the Emperor's Heart Technique just now, I really love money. " Xu Yi said.

Qing Kangping was once again shocked after these words were spoken. Everyone knew Grand Master Xu Yi's name. There were countless number of people who wanted to become Xu Yi's disciple. Many of the sons of the noble families squeezed their heads together in an attempt to be accepted by Xu Yi.

Because as long as one became Xu Yi's disciple, then there was no doubt that the future path had already been laid out. Entering the Imperial Court would inevitably result in an important position. If Chu Tian could become Xu Yi's disciple, then he would be able to reach the sky in a single bound.

"I appreciate your kindness, Grand Preceptor. However, I don't have much attachment to my official career. I only have my heart for the Dao. I have let you down." Chu Tiandao.

"It doesn't matter. It's true that you have such a sword cultivation base. It's precisely because you have the heart to pursue the Dao that you blame me for being too impatient. However, if you have free time, you can come to my residence with the Third Prince. We can also discuss the truth of the Dao." Xu Yi said.

"Then junior will accept it respectfully." Chu Tian nodded his head and accepted it.

"If the three of you don't take a seat, my daughter's fragrant tea will be wasted." Heavenly Fragrance said.

"That's true. My granddaughter's tea ceremony is one of the best." Xu Yi said with a smile.

Chu Tian and Qing Kangping were surprised when they heard this. Xu Yi smiled even more when he saw the surprise on their faces.

"Indeed, there are very few people who know about this matter. This is also to avoid some gossip. I hope the two of you can keep it a secret for me." Xu Yi said.

"So that's the case. That is indeed my disrespect. However, I really didn't expect that Miss Fragrant Sky Pavilion's Miss Fragrant Sky Pavilion is the Grand Preceptor's granddaughter." Qing Kangping said. He was still rather surprised.

"I'm not as old-fashioned as Grandfather, so I naturally won't be seen through. Hiding my identity is also to avoid the eyes and ears of others. I'm not a woman who can participate in politics. That's why I've cultivated the ability to play the zither, chess, and painting. As for opening this Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, it's also for the sake of cultivating one's emotions. " Heavenly Fragrance said.

As they listened to their discussion, Chu Tian only tasted tea by himself. Just like what Xu Yi had said, Heavenly Fragrance's tea ceremony skills were indeed very impressive.

"This tea indeed has its own uniqueness. It must have taken 37 steps. Although the tea was flower tea, the taste was quite pure. I think it should be made from concentrated Persian chrysanthemum, seven-leaf clover, white grass, and other top tea leaves. " Chu Tiandao.

Hearing this, everyone present looked at him in surprise, especially Heavenly Fragrance. She was even more shocked because what Chu Tian said was the truth. Up until now, no one had ever tasted the contents of her tea.

Even the tea ceremony's people couldn't do anything to her. Chu Tian was the first one who could do it.

"Could it be that Mr. Chu Tian knows about the tea ceremony?" Xu Yi asked curiously.

"Junior does not know about the Way of Tea, but I do have some experience in alchemy. This knowledge of the Hundred Herbs is a basic skill, but I am not sure if my guess is correct or not." Chu Tian said.

"What Young Master Chu Tian said is correct. My daughter even suspects that Young Master Chu Tian already knew about it beforehand." A faint smile appeared on her face.

"It seems like Young Master Chu Tian is really knowledgeable and talented. This old man was just speaking nonsense. I hope that Young Master Chu Tian can let us have a good discussion when the time comes." Xu Yi said with a smile.

"Alright grandfather, young master Chu Tian is my distinguished guest. Don't scare others here." Heavenly Fragrance also stepped out to help Chu Tian.

Xu Yi stroked his beard and laughed, but he could tell that the Grand Preceptor was indeed very interested in him. Chu Tian wouldn't think that the Grand Preceptor only cared about him because of his words and actions. This Xu Yi wasn't simple at all. If it wasn't necessary, Chu Tian didn't want to have anything to do with the Grand Preceptor.
