A rare opportunity

Chapter 230 Apprenticeship

Everyone gasped when they heard this! So someone has already reported the secret to the emperor! Fortunately, Li Yu arrived in time, and fortunately, Hua Yu had basically recovered at this time, otherwise, the crime of deceiving the emperor would be inevitable!

Suddenly, a melodious sound of piano came from the carriage where Hua Yu was, and the carriage window slowly rose up along with the sound of the piano. Hua Yu was concentrating on playing the piano. After the song was over, she stood up and smiled at Hua Shan and said:

"My humble self is Hua Yu. I am honored to meet General Hua. Thank you for coming to greet me from afar!"

When Huashan and the others saw this, they could not help but sweat profusely! They quickly dismounted and bowed to greet him! Huashan was even more terrified and said:

"I am only following orders. I hope the princess will forgive me!"

"General Hua, don't mind! Since we are just following orders, what's the crime? Lead the way!"

Hua Yu smiled.

"Yes!"

Huashan bowed and stepped back, then mounted his horse and led the way.

With the royal guards leading the way, pedestrians on the road all gave way, which increased the speed a lot. Two days later, the imperial city was already in sight!

The Imperial City is different from other cities. It is majestic and vast! From a distance, it seems endless!

Ten miles away from the imperial city, the second prince Yao Lin, who had received the report from Huashan, came to greet them in person with a group of civil and military officials.

Although Yao Lin was born into a royal family, he was not arrogant. He was tall and mighty, calm and steady, and had quite an imposing aura.

Although the two were engaged, they had only met when they were children. Their appearances had changed a lot, so they were naturally a little restrained when they met again.

Yao Lin glanced at Hua Yu, then turned around to greet Hua Qianyu and his wife, as well as Hua Zirong. Then, the group entered the imperial city in a mighty procession.

The size of this imperial city was beyond Li Yu's imagination! According to Park Sung-heon and Qian Youzu, the jurisdiction of one gate of this imperial city was as large as Tianxing City. What shocked Li Yu even more was that this Huangcheng city had as many as sixteen gates!

Actually, Li Yu didn't want to come to the Imperial City. When Hua Yu recovered, he said goodbye to Hua Yu. However, Hua Yu was grateful for his life-saving grace and wanted him to help him, so he kept trying to keep him. In addition, Pu Chengxian, Qian Youzu, and Hua Zirong tried their best to dissuade him. The most important thing was Wu Linger, who insisted on going to the Imperial City to join in the fun and refused to leave. In desperation, he could only follow her into the city.

Although Hua Yu and Yao Lin were engaged, they were not married after all, so they could not live in the Second Prince's mansion. Therefore, Yao Lin had already bought a house in the imperial city as Hua Yu's temporary residence.

Although the house was not too big, it was much bigger than the Hua Mansion in Tianxing City. As for food, clothing, and other necessities, maids and servants were all available.

Li Yu hid in the carriage all the way, and immediately hid in his room when he arrived at his residence. Firstly, he was studying alchemy. Secondly, he really wanted to avoid Hua Zirong and others. He always felt that these people were too scheming and could not get along with them.

However, these people would come to him from time to time to drink and chat. It was not appropriate to refuse directly, but studying alchemy was a good excuse.

However, there were only a few medicinal herbs left, and there was nowhere to get them in this imperial city. If I wanted to buy some, I didn't have much money in my pocket. There was no other way, I could only imagine it!

That day, he was sitting cross-legged in his room, gesticulating and simulating the process of refining a pill. He was so focused that he didn't even notice someone coming in.

Just as he was getting ready to practice, he heard a cry of surprise:

"Yu'er, what's wrong with you?"

Li Yuyou was immersed in his own world and just answered casually:

"Stop making noise! ​​I'm refining the elixir!"

"Alchemy? You don't have a furnace, and you don't have herbs, how can you make an elixir?"

The Plum Blossom Fairy was surprised.

“We’ve run out of herbs!”

Li Yu answered casually again, but his hands and feet were still busy, as if he was really refining the elixir.

The Plum Blossom Fairy immediately understood! This child, the herbs he collected were all used up, and he had no money to buy more, so he could only imagine making pills!

Hua Yu looked at Li Yu in confusion, then looked at the Plum Blossom Fairy, and wanted to ask a question. But the Plum Blossom Fairy shook her head, pulled her out of the door, and said:

"You want to ask him why he doesn't go buy something? But he has no money in his pocket, what can he use to buy it?"

"How is that possible? He has worked in the Jin family clinic for so long, doesn't the Jin family pay him a salary?"

"Salary? Oh! Ten taels of silver a month has to be withdrawn from the counter for year-end settlement. Not to mention that he didn't work until the end of the year, even if he did, it would be good enough if the Jin family didn't let him pay out of their own pockets!"

The Plum Blossom Fairy sighed.

"I didn't expect that this Jin family is actually a vampire! Don't worry, I'll ask Zirong to send some to him later!"

Hua Yu said indignantly.

"Well... I think even if I gave him the money, he wouldn't want it. Although this child was born a beggar, he is actually a proud and arrogant person!"

The Plum Blossom Fairy murmured.

"so what should I do now?"

Hua Yu asked anxiously.

"I think this kid is good, and I have long wanted to take him in as my disciple. But my Plum Blossom Valley has never accepted male disciples, so I was a little hesitant for a while. In fact, I taught him spear skills and footwork, so he can be considered half of my disciple! It's a good opportunity to take him in as my disciple, so that the master can give money and it will be justified!"

The Plum Blossom Fairy smiled.

"That's great! I'll go in and talk to him about this right now, and I'll be the one to introduce him to you!"

Hua Yu also smiled.

"Don't be impatient! Wait until he finishes refining the elixir before going in!"

The Plum Blossom Fairy smiled.

The two men watched Li Yu from outside the door until he finally stopped what he was doing, and then they re-entered his room.

Li Yu saw the two people coming in, and hurriedly stood up and bowed, saying:

"Meet the fairy! Meet Miss Hua!"

The Plum Blossom Fairy smiled and said:

"No need to be polite!"

"I didn't expect Mr. Li could make pills out of thin air! I really admire him!"

Hua Yu smiled.

Li Yu couldn't help but blush when she heard this, feeling extremely embarrassed! She thought: It turns out they have already arrived, this is embarrassing!

Seeing Li Yu's shy expression, Plum Blossom Fairy hurriedly changed the subject and said straight to the point:

"Yu'er, I want to take you as my apprentice, are you willing?"

Hearing this, Li Yu couldn't help but widen his eyes in disbelief! He had always dreamed of having a master to guide him in his cultivation. The Plum Blossom Fairy taught him a set of spear techniques and a set of footwork. In fact, deep in his heart, he had already regarded her as his master. It was just that the Plum Blossom Fairy didn't mention it, and he thought the fairy looked down on him!

Hearing that she was willing to accept him as her disciple, he was extremely excited! Without saying anything, he knelt on the ground with a "thump", and kowtowed non-stop!

"Silly boy! Enough! Enough!"

The Plum Blossom Fairy hurried forward and stretched out her hand to pull him up, but she found that his forehead was bright red, and he had actually knocked out blood!
