King Jing's mansion. Back Garden.
"You admire the lotus flowers, and your heart is moved, realizing the high-level defensive martial art Secret Technique 'Guanyin Sitting on Lotus'!"
By the pond, Xia Ji raised an eyebrow but quickly relaxed.
A high-level Secret Technique was not enough to shake his spirit.
Moreover, this martial arts secret manual sounded rather frivolous.
"Su Xiaosan."
"His Highness the Crown Prince, what are your orders?"
"Have someone bring a barrel of oil and pour it over these lotus flowers in the pond, burn them all! Just looking at them makes this Crown Prince feel annoyed!"
Guanyin sitting on lotus? More like sitting on nonsense!
"Huh?"
Su Xiaosan, who was originally sweeping, paused and stared blankly at the broom.
"What do you mean 'huh'? Is this Crown Prince unable to wield a blade, or have you lost your mind?"
Xia Ji turned around, his purple robes fluttering. "Xiu'er, bring this Crown Prince's Qinglong Yanyue Blade……"
Seeing that His Highness the Crown Prince was unhappy, Su Xiaosan immediately lowered his body and gritted his teeth, saying, "No, no, no! His Highness the Crown Prince, don’t worry, I’ll burn them right away! I'll call someone immediately!"
Honestly, it was hard to understand the joy of those with wealth and power.
Could it be that destroying items regarded as treasures by ordinary people brings happiness?
These lotus flowers were not ordinary; they were transformed from the seeds of the priceless Seven-Colored Ice Heart Lotus, each one worth a fortune.
Without thinking too much, Su Xiaosan took a signal flare from his sleeve, gently pulled it towards the sky, and moments later, a group of guards gathered around.
Su Xiaosan twitched the corners of his mouth as he relayed his Highness the Crown Prince's bizarre request to the guards.
In less than three breaths, a group of guards arrived carrying several buckets of oil, pouring it over the Ice Heart Lotus in turn.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, are we really going to burn it?" Guard A Da asked, holding a torch and scratching his head, looking somewhat conflicted.
Why did it feel like their Highness the Crown Prince had been acting strangely these past few days?
Xia Ji shot him a glare. He sensed that burning this pool of lotus flowers would likely lead to the comprehension of a more serious and powerful martial arts Secret Technique.
An upper-grade defensive martial arts Secret Technique was something that these guards earnestly sought after, but to Xia Ji, it was hardly worth mentioning.
If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't yet time for the royal scripture repository to open, Xia Ji could at least have access to thousands of books!
The foundation of the Northern Yan Dynasty was not to be underestimated; upper-grade techniques that were hard to come by for commoners were not particularly rare in the royal scripture repository.
"You're all hesitating over burning a lotus flower because you think the food at King Jing's mansion is so good that you don't want to work! You're being treated like lords!" Xia Ji scolded.
Su Xiaosan wanted to remind his Highness the Crown Prince that even though this pool of lotus flowers was nearing the end of its blooming period, allowing them to continue growing naturally would yield lotus roots by the end of the year that could rival those of hundreds of years old medicinal herbs.
Indeed. Ever since his Highness began cultivating, when had he ever mixed in such trash as hundred-year-old precious medicine?
So.
Su Xiaosan looked at the Guard Commander A Da and said, "What are you still dawdling for? Hurry up and do as His Highness the Crown Prince instructed!"
After saying that, he turned to his own Crown Prince and said, "Yes."
The guards obeyed the order and quickly signaled their brothers to throw the torches they held.
"Boom!"
The Lotus Pool turned into a sea of fire, with the lotus flowers exerting their utmost to resist the encroaching flames with an endless chill.
However, after all, this was merely the lotus seeds transformed from the Seven-Colored Ice Heart Lotus, not the Seven-Colored Ice Heart Lotus itself!
To rely on its own instincts to survive this "fire disaster" was nothing short of wishful thinking.
In just a moment, the blooming lotus flowers in the pool were burned to ashes, floating on the water's surface, marking the traces of their existence.
"You watched the lotus bloom in fire and comprehended the principle of ice and fire merging; your heart is like a clear mirror, your physical body transcends mortality, and the secret technique 'Ice and Fire Duality' automatically reaches maximum level."
The prompt from the Bootlicking System was undoubtedly seen by Xia Ji, but his expression was terrifyingly dark.
What in the world is this "Ice and Fire Duality"?
