"Impossible?!" Sun Zhang was taken aback, looking at Marshal Haotian in surprise.
Originally, he thought that with his status, personally asking Marshal Haotian to take Huang Xiaolong as a disciple, Marshal Haotian would definitely agree. Now, he actually refused outright!
Sun Zhang's face showed some displeasure.
Seeing Sun Zhang's expression, Marshal Haotian thought for a moment and said, "Sun Zhang, actually, I can't make the decision on this matter!"
"You, you can't make the decision?!" Sun Zhang was stunned: "Then, is Huang Xiaolong not your illegitimate child?!"
Illegitimate child?! Black lines and cold sweat immediately appeared on Marshal Haotian's forehead. This old man actually thought the sect leader was his?!
Marshal Haotian said with a serious and solemn face, "Sun Zhang, not only me, even my master can't make the decision!"
"Your master? Yu Ming can't make the decision?!" Sun Zhang was shocked. Yu Ming was a tenth-stage innate powerhouse! Even Yu Ming can't make the decision?!
Then, what is Huang Xiaolong's identity?!
Marshal Haotian nodded solemnly at Sun Zhang.
Actually, there was something else he didn't tell Sun Zhang: even his grandmaster didn't have the qualifications to take Huang Xiaolong as a disciple!
Marshal Haotian's grandmaster!
However, it was too shocking to say, so Marshal Haotian didn't tell Sun Zhang.
Although they were friends, Marshal Haotian had never mentioned the Asura Sect to Sun Zhang before, so Sun Zhang didn't know that Marshal Haotian was a member of the Asura Sect.
After a while, Sun Zhang left the Marshal's residence, looked up at the sky, where blue clouds dotted the high sky, and the sun was bright.
"I didn't expect that kid to have such a complicated background," Sun Zhang muttered to himself. "Could he be a prince of our Broken Blade Empire?" Then he shook his head.
After leaving the Marshal's residence, Sun Zhang returned directly to the academy.
Night fell.
The heat of the day gradually dissipated with the night, and the night breeze was cool.
Huang Xiaolong sat cross-legged on the cold jade bed in the Tianxuan Residence, the Nine Nether Battle Qi circulating in his body, but he wasn't cultivating the Asura Technique. Over the past two days, he had been thinking that since his dual martial souls could merge and split, they should also be able to be summoned separately.
Now, he was trying to figure out how to summon his dual martial souls separately.
If he could freely control the separate summoning of his dual martial souls, he wouldn't have to worry about others discovering his dual martial souls. In general, when facing enemies, he could just summon the Black Dragon martial soul when necessary.
However, every time Huang Xiaolong tried to summon his martial soul, both the Black Dragon and the Blue Dragon would appear simultaneously, making it impossible to summon them separately. It was like trying to write two different characters with both hands at the same time, which was almost impossible.
Because a person can't focus on two things at once.
Although he failed time and time again, Huang Xiaolong didn't become discouraged and continued to practice over and over again.
After a night, the sky gradually brightened. Although he still hadn't succeeded, Huang Xiaolong found that he could control his dual dragon martial souls more skillfully.
Before, it took three breaths for Huang Xiaolong to summon his dual dragon martial souls, but now it only took two.
After leaving the room, Huang Xiaolong stretched his limbs and heard the shouts of morning exercises coming from the backyard. He walked over to the backyard and saw that the servants Fei Hou had bought were practicing the Luohan Fist, which Huang Xiaolong had taught Fei Hou to pass on.
Huang Xiaolong nodded, seeing the servants' punching stances. Although it had only been a few days, the servants had already practiced quite well, showing a good understanding of martial arts and combat techniques. This was what Huang Xiaolong had required of Fei Hou when he first instructed him to cultivate a force: loyalty and a certain level of understanding of martial arts and combat techniques.
"Master!" Fei Hou saw Huang Xiaolong coming and hurriedly approached.
Huang Xiaolong nodded and pointed to the orc Bolie, who was practicing the Luohan Fist in the backyard, and said to Fei Hou, "Give Bolie more guidance. In the future, let Bolie be responsible for supervising and training them. This way, you can have more time to cultivate."
"Yes, Master!" Fei Hou replied respectfully.
"Let's go, accompany me for a walk," Huang Xiaolong said to Fei Hou. He had been in Luotong Capital for some time but hadn't really explored it properly. He planned to take a walk.
Also, in a couple of days, he would go to the Silver Moon Forest to cultivate for five months, so he needed to prepare and buy some things. He also wanted to visit Li Lu's Li Family Silk Shop. In the past few months, he had grown quite a bit, reaching 1.5 meters, and he wanted to order a few sets of clothes from the Li Family Silk Shop.
Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou, along with the four guards from the Marshal's residence, left the Tianxuan Residence and started walking down the street.
The morning sun was bright, and the air was fresh. Huang Xiaolong felt very good as he watched the commoners passing by on the streets and the shops gradually becoming lively.
Actually, an ordinary life is also a kind of happiness.
After passing through several streets, Huang Xiaolong and the six others arrived at Li Lu's Li Family Silk Shop.
Since it had only been a few days since the start of the school term, Li Cheng, who had brought Li Lu to the capital, had not yet returned to Canglan County. Seeing Huang Xiaolong and the others arrive, Li Cheng hurriedly came out to greet them.
"Xiaolong, Senior Fei Hou!" Li Cheng smiled warmly.
Huang Xiaolong nodded and called him Uncle, and Fei Hou also nodded to Li Cheng.
Then, Li Cheng invited Huang Xiaolong and the others into the shop's main hall and had the servants quickly serve tea. This time, Li Cheng seemed somewhat nervous in front of Huang Xiaolong, even sitting down with his hands not knowing where to place them.
Huang Xiaolong realized that Li Cheng must have heard about the incident during the new student test where he almost crippled Jiang Teng, and perhaps even heard about his connection with Marshal Haotian.
Now, the news of his connection with Marshal Haotian had spread throughout the capital and was no longer a secret.
Of course, as for what kind of connection, people had various speculations and versions.
"Uncle, I came this time to order a few sets of clothes," Huang Xiaolong said after sitting down.
"Order a few sets of clothes?" Li Cheng was taken aback, then quickly stood up and personally fetched the measuring tools to measure Huang Xiaolong. Huang Xiaolong smiled and said that the servants could do it, but Li Cheng insisted on doing it himself, making Huang Xiaolong feel somewhat embarrassed.
Seeing Li Cheng personally measuring him, Huang Xiaolong couldn't help but think of his parents, Huang Peng and Su Yan, in Huang Family Village. If his parents knew that Li Cheng was personally measuring and making clothes for him in the capital, what would they think?
After a while, Li Cheng finished measuring Huang Xiaolong, and they all sat down. Huang Xiaolong thought for a moment and said to Li Cheng, "Uncle, my father and mother don't know about my affairs in the capital. I don't want them to know for now, so please don't tell them when you return."
Li Cheng understood Huang Xiaolong's meaning and quickly said, "Xiaolong, rest assured, I won't say anything when I return."
Huang Xiaolong nodded. Otherwise, when he returned to Huang Family Village at the end of the year, his parents would definitely ask many questions, which would be a headache.
At this moment, a loud noise and shouting came from outside the shop.
Huang Xiaolong frowned, recognizing that someone was causing trouble outside. Li Cheng's face also turned grim upon hearing the noise and shouting. A group of people had been causing trouble at the shop every day for the past few days, even injuring many people in the shop. He didn't expect them to come again today.
