Chapter 16: Cultivating the Six Sword Slaves! The Net's Core Takes Shape!

The Slender Gold style was a calligraphic script invented by Emperor Huizong of Song, a monarch of a fallen dynasty from a previous life.

This script is slender, strong, upright, elegant, free-flowing, and possesses an inexplicable nobility.

However, this script is extremely difficult to master. Even with Li Chang'an's talent, it took him several years to achieve some proficiency.

Copying poetry boosts one's literary ranking, and calligraphy and painting not only serve the same purpose but can also be sold for money.

Since Li Chang'an had excellent talent, he practiced calligraphy and painting from a young age.

A few days ago, he displayed his skill at Jing Wang Manor, immediately astonishing Li Zhi, Prince Jing and Li Hongcheng.

Under his expectant gaze, Fan Ruoruo continued, "There has been progress… but compared to what Uncle Chang'an writes, it's still far too inferior!"

Li Hongcheng scratched his head and stammered, "But Ruo Ruo, this calligraphy was written by Father, invited by Uncle Prince Yong."

Upon hearing this, Fan Ruoruo immediately frowned, "So you lied! I hate liars the most!"

Fan Ruoruo picked up the calligraphy and said apologetically to Li Chang'an, "Uncle Chang'an, I'm sorry. It's all Ruo Ruo's fault for not looking carefully."

Li Chang'an's first poem was dedicated to Fan Ruoruo, and almost everyone in the world knew this story.

Since their first meeting, Fan Ruoruo's emotional value towards Li Chang'an had always been at maximum.

Name: Fan Ruoruo

Age: 6 years old

Realm: None

Talents: Strong Memory (Fifth Rank), Medical Skills (Seventh Rank), Firearms (Eighth Rank)

Abilities: Qin, Chess, Calligraphy, Painting (Third Rank), Poetry and Song (Third Rank), Medical Skills (First Rank)

Affection: 100

Everyone in the palace knew that Li Chang'an would definitely go to Fan Manor when he left the palace, and Liu Ruyu would definitely go to Shuning Palace when she brought Fan Ruoruo into the palace.

Fan Ruoruo was highly knowledgeable and learned quickly, already showing the makings of a talented woman.

Moreover, Liu Shuyan particularly liked her, and that bit of medical skill was taught by Liu Shuyan.

Li Chang'an looked at Li Hongcheng with pity; this guy's behavior was no different from a boiling sheep.

This girl, Ruo Ruo, was truly too double-standard!

However, Li Chang'an liked it very much.

Li Chang'an patted Fan Ruoruo's small head, "It's alright, Ruo Ruo. It's all Hongcheng's fault for not explaining clearly."

Li Hongcheng looked at Li Chang'an with a bitter expression, a sense of desolation welling up within him.

Fan Ruoruo nodded obediently, "Ruo Ruo will definitely work hard and make sure to recognize Uncle Chang'an's handwriting from now on."

Looking at Fan Ruoruo's trusting eyes, Li Chang'an always felt like a strange uncle.

Having chased away the teacher, Li Chang'an calmly left the Imperial Study. Just as he arrived at the entrance of Shuning Palace, Hong Zhu came to greet him.

Name: Hong Zhu

Age: 13 years old

Cultivation: None

Talents: Political Strategy (Ninth Rank), Management (Eighth Rank)

Abilities: Political Strategy (Eighth Rank), Management (Eighth Rank), Espionage (Fifth Rank)

Affection: 100 (Die-hard loyalty)

Although Hong Zhu was intelligent, Zhao Gao was even more of a treacherous villain.

This young fellow was already very grateful to Li Chang'an, and then he was further impressed by Zhao Gao's various methods.

Li Chang'an had already promised him that he would avenge the Chen family in the future, and with Zhao Gao teaching him everything he knew, Hong Zhu's affection value was full.

"Your Highness, Hu Xuzhi left the Imperial Study and went to His Majesty to complain."

"I also overheard a word or two of what the old fellow said."

"He told His Majesty that Your Highness has no great ambitions and cannot achieve great things!"

A smile crossed Li Chang'an's lips, "Good! Well said, he really should say more!"

Hong Zhu continued, "Hu Xuzhi also said that from now on, in the Imperial Study, either you are there or he is there, but not both!"

"He also advised His Majesty to let you leave the palace quickly and establish your own manor!"

"This is a big matter. His Majesty did not respond to him, but his commotion is giving His Majesty a headache."

Li Chang'an was very satisfied with Hu Xuzhi's actions; this was exactly what he wanted.

Establishing his own manor earlier would allow him to break free from the constraints of the imperial palace.

Although there were Surveillance Bureau spies all over the streets of the capital, it was still much better than the stifling imperial palace.

Returning to Shuning Palace, Li Chang'an went back to his room.

Xiren and Qingwen skillfully busied themselves, diligently serving their master.

The two of them were more beautiful than flowers, exquisitely pure, tall and slender, with their peaks just beginning to form, clearly two little beauties.

But these two little beauties were roses with thorns, their cultivation among their peers being top-notch.

Name: Qingwen

Age: 13 years old

Cultivation: Fifth Rank Middle Level

Talents: Sword Dao (Ninth Rank), Music (Sixth Rank)

Abilities: Playing Flute (Seventh Rank), Espionage (Fifth Rank), Assassination (Fourth Rank)

Affection: 100 (Die-hard loyalty)

Xiren's cultivation and abilities were also cultivated to a similar extent, both reaching Fifth Rank Middle Level cultivation.

If it weren't for their late start, these two would not Cultivate the Martial Dao slower than Li Chang'an.

Li Chang'an's plan for the two beauties was for them to be both beautiful and useful; he absolutely could not waste such excellent Materials.

Both of them had originally been sold to a song and dance hall, but were later chosen by Eunuch Hou to enter the palace and became Li Chang'an's head maids.

Li Chang'an had saved them, so their affection values had long been full.

Xiren was pouring tea, and Qingwen was getting a book for Li Chang'an, when Li Chang'an suddenly grabbed Xiren.

"Xiren, you're not acting right today. Why is your face so red?"

Pulled by Li Chang'an like that, Xiren's body trembled even more, and her eyes became misty.

Xiren stammered, "I was called by a few Female Officials today, and they taught me some things."

Li Chang'an observed her words and expressions, already guessing most of it, but Xiren was too shy to speak.

He then pulled Qingwen over, "Qingwen, you tell me!"

Though their delicate faces were identically beautiful, their personalities were completely opposite.

Qingwen smiled sweetly, her face also a little red, "The Female Officials taught us... how to serve Your Highness in bed, to make Your Highness feel like an immortal. They taught it very thoroughly..."

Li Chang'an understood. This Imperial Brother was quite meticulous, afraid that he wouldn't indulge in female beauty.

However, such matters couldn't be rushed; now was the time for growing up.

Li Chang'an chuckled, "Taught very thoroughly, how thoroughly?"

Qingwen giggled, bit her lip, and also found herself unable to speak.

"Your Highness... probably wouldn't like to hear it."

Li Chang'an said in a deep voice, "I really don't like to hear it. You two must learn well; it will definitely come in handy in the future."

The two little maids didn't expect Li Chang'an to say this without blushing or a racing heart, making their legs feel a little weak.

In the evening, it was time for Zhao Gao to train everyone in various abilities.

It was very normal for a Prince to arrange for a head eunuch to teach young eunuchs and palace maids how to read.

Coupled with Zhao Gao's Ninth Rank Upper Level cultivation and his vigilant awareness, the training has been very well hidden until now.

Currently, under Li Chang'an's command, besides Zhao Gao, Hong Zhu, Qingwen, and Xiren, there were also ten eunuchs and four palace maids.

The fourteen newly discovered individuals were scouted by Li Chang'an from tens of thousands of eunuchs and palace maids, and through different methods, they all achieved die-hard loyalty.

Among them, four young eunuchs had Upper Third Rank Martial Dao talent and also cultivated Sword Dao, and are now all Fifth Rank Lower Level in cultivation.

Zhao Gao, following the training methods of the Six Sword Slaves, trained these four and Xiren and Qingwen into the new Six Sword Slaves.

The primary duty of these Six Sword Slaves was to protect Li Chang'an, with intelligence gathering and Assassination as secondary specializations.

There were no Zhuanpo and Miehun among the Six Sword Slaves; instead, Xiren and Qingwen took their places.

Moreover, these two women, due to their extremely high Sword Dao talent, were the strongest cultivators among the Six Sword Slaves!

These eighteen individuals would be the backbone of the Net organization in the future!
