Because Emperor Qing was well aware of the difference between a ninth-rank official and a grandmaster.
It is like an insurmountable chasm, extremely difficult to cross.
Even if he himself had that secret manual back then.
He had to face death once before becoming the Grandmaster he is today.
It is precisely because we know the difficulties and hardships of this process.
Therefore, he already possessed the strength of a Grandmaster and was not afraid of these ninth-rank masters.
On the contrary, they will cherish talent and feel comfortable using them.
But Su Yu is different.
Emperor Qing was wary of Su Yu.
The reason is simple.
Su Yu is only eighteen years old, but he already has the strength of at least the ninth rank.
Moreover, his wisdom and shrewdness far surpass those of his peers.
In the last conversation, Su Yu even showed glimpses of Chen Pingping and Lin Ruofu.
How could Emperor Qing not be wary of such a person?
Su Yu's talent is astonishing.
Literature, medicine, martial arts.
Each one is astonishing in its scale.
Based on Emperor Qing's current observations and speculations.
In the future, Su Yu will definitely become a grandmaster.
There is no doubt about it.
It's just a matter of time.
But he will become a grandmaster in the future.
This also means that he is not yet a Grandmaster.
Emperor Qing could actually kill Su Yu right now.
In order to avoid future troubles.
But should we kill them or spare them?
Emperor Qing was deep in thought.
If Su Yu can truly become a grandmaster in the future.
Is it a good thing or a bad thing for me?
Emperor Qing twirled his teacup while frowning.
If the Qing Kingdom had one more Grandmaster.
His plan, if Su Yu were involved...
Can it be done earlier?
Wouldn't that greatly increase the chances of winning?
Emperor Qing clearly already had the answer in his heart.
And the answer is, of course, yes.
However, he could also guarantee that Su Yu would truly become a Grandmaster.
Can he still be as gentle and obedient to his orders as he is now?
After all, this was before Ye Liuyun became a Grandmaster.
It also means respectfully obeying the emperor's orders.
but now.
Emperor Qing gave a self-deprecating laugh and shook his head.
Now we have to use the Ye family to get that old man to do things for us.
What about Su Yu?
What could possibly restrain him?
Su Yu was an orphan and unmarried.
It's difficult to start with blood ties, family, and the concept of affection.
Emperor Qing still frowned and rubbed his temples.
And the other side.
Guangxin Palace.
Princess Li Yunrui also received the news.
Her beautiful eyes always held a pool of spring water.
Like the misty rain of Jiangnan, it all entered her eyes.
It is so beautiful that it stirs the heart, stirs the emotions, and evokes pity.
The eldest princess rested her chin on her hand.
A hint of surprise and excitement flashed across her beautiful face.
"You're saying that the scholar defeated Ye Zhong with a single sword strike?"
"And beat him into a sorry state?"
"Correct."
The person who answered from below was none other than Yan Xiaoyi, the current commander of the Imperial Guards.
Just now, he was also on the roof of the palace.
I saw that sword strike, and I also saw how Ye Chong looked when he returned.
The eldest princess covered her mouth and smiled, then asked again.
"What was His Majesty's expression when he found out?"
While asking the question, he peeled a grape with his own hands and put it in his mouth, taking a small bite.
She seemed to be in a very good mood.
Chapter 116 The Conversation at Guangxin Palace! Fan Xian Excitedly: My Master is the Sword God!
Upon hearing that Su Yu had defeated Ye Zhong with a single sword strike.
They beat him until he was bruised and swollen, and he returned to the palace in a sorry state.
The princess smiled beautifully as she put a grape into her mouth.
She originally thought that Su Yu was just an unremarkable scholar.
He just happened to be lucky enough to learn some medical skills.
I never imagined it was hidden so well.
Not only is he skilled in martial arts, but he can also defeat Ye Zhong with a single sword strike.
I really underestimated him before.
Su Yu is quite an interesting young man.
The princess smiled, looked at the respectful young man opposite her, and slowly asked.
How high is his level of attainment?
The person below the hall who respectfully answers.
It is none other than Yan Xiaoyi, the current commander of the Southern Qing Imperial Guard.
Yan Xiaoyi was born into a hunter family in the mountains.
But when I was a child, my village was struck by a sudden tragedy, and my entire family was slaughtered.
He narrowly escaped death.
Later, with the help of a longbow, he became the commander of the Imperial Guards of Nanqing.
He is also the only ninth-rank archer in the world.
He is definitely a figure not to be underestimated.
Such a person is naturally an extremely cold and unruly individual.
The reason they were so respectful to the eldest princess was...
It was because the princess saved him when he was starving to death.
That's why he once swore an oath.
Even if the whole world were to turn against the princess, he would still protect her.
He can be said to be the princess's most loyal subordinate.
Yan Xiaoyi pondered for a moment before answering.
"Ninth Rank, Upper Grade".
Yan Xiaoyi is a ninth-rank archer.
His arm strength, eyesight, and hearing are all exceptionally strong.
His location was also the highest point in the palace.
Ye Chong returned to the palace, albeit quietly.
But it was clear that they still couldn't hide it from Yan Xiaoyi.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to keep his position as commander of the Imperial Guard.
