"I haven't seen each other for many years, but I didn't expect that Brother Chen is still in style."

After seven years of seeing you, Liu Houde's temples have turned gray. In addition to getting older, he also has the reason for his years of hard work in the affairs of the court. After all, with great pressure, he will grow older quickly.

Three years ago, in the battle with Nanzhao Kingdom, he was just a military advisor, not the main general, but because of the failure of the main general's tactics, he was besieged by the enemy. All the generals in charge died on the battlefield and died. So he had to be ordered to take the lead in the danger. As a civil servant without any power, it was not easy for him. Of course, this also showed his ability. He led the defeated army to turn defeat into victory with his own strength and achieved a great victory.

The victory of this battle allowed him to upgrade from the fifth grade to the second grade in a short period of time, and he was deeply trusted by the emperor. Of course, this also means greater responsibility and heavier pressure on him, so he looks much older.

"Oh, time is like a knife, it's not forgiving at all. In the end, if you can't see the great way, it's just a little longer." Chen Kan sighed.

"Hahaha, are you considered greedy and not enough to swallow an elephant?" Liu Houde said with a laugh.

"No, this is ambition." Chen Kan said with a smile.

Liu Houde nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, big brother, you are ambitious. Big brother, you are still so young now. I think you have achieved success in cultivation!"

"It's okay, but it's still far from enlightenment. Otherwise, you can practice Taoism too, and maybe you can live for decades more."

"Forget it, I'm not here." Liu Houde waved his hand and said. He knew very well what he wanted to do. When he met Chen Kan, Chen Kan advised him to practice martial arts, but he refused. All he learned from Chen Kan was the great way to govern the country. He was able to turn defeat into victory that time, and there was also the contribution of Chen Kan's teachings back then.

"Everyone has his own ambitions, and I won't force it." Chen Kan said in a pun.

Liu Houde first thought Chen Kan was feeling emotion, but later when he thought of his son, he suddenly came to his senses.

"Brother Chen, I asked Jin Yuan to take you as my teacher because I hope you can teach him the great way of governing the country, but I didn't expect you to teach him martial arts." Liu Houde looked like he "wrongly saw you."

"Everyone has their own ambitions." Chen Kan said with a smile.

“…”

"Haha, don't worry, Jin Yuan himself is also interested in his career, and I will not stop him. Besides, I hope that my disciples will become the top scorer who has not been admitted for fifty years."

Apart from smiling bitterly, what else can Liu Houde say? It is a pity. In fact, the main reason why he changed this is because he had another child two years ago and had a successor. He always thought that those who practice Taoism could not get married. He was worried that the Liu family would never get married. In fact, his worries were unnecessary, because Lou Guandao did not have the rules that those who practice Taoism could not get married.

Of course, Liu Houde was wrong, that is, he thought that his son Liu Jinyuan liked to learn martial arts. In fact, it was not surprising that he would think so, because Liu Jinyuan could persist in such a hard work for seven years. In his opinion, doesn’t he just like it?

But the actual situation is that Liu Jinyuan is a very obedient child. In addition, he has learned a lot of truths from the reading experience left by Chen Kan. The experience left by this master is good for him. He took it for granted that the Body Tempering Art is also very important, so he persisted.

If the father and son had in-depth communication, the situation might be completely different. Unfortunately, it was not. Liu Houde was too busy at work, and he always looked like a strict father in front of his son. In-depth communication was too much.

"Can Jinyuan really become the top scorer?" Liu Houde asked.

"Of course, he is my disciple of Lou Guan Dao, and a disciple of Lou Guan Dao. Which one is not a talented person? He is a hero in the world and the position of top scholar is not easy to win."

Liu Houde said that he didn't understand the logic behind Chen Kan's words. Is there any direct relationship?

It seems not.

"Brother, someone is here to find you. I think you are very busy. I'm going to find my disciple. Hurry up and deal with your official duties. If you have time in the evening, come to you and take care of your health." As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Kanren disappeared.

Liu Houde looked at Chen Kan who suddenly disappeared and touched his nose. It was obvious that he had become accustomed to Chen Kan's style of behavior. Then he sorted out his clothes. Chen Kan said that if someone comes, someone will definitely come...

Chen Kan did not stay in the Liu Mansion for too long, but just chatted with Liu Jinyuan for a while. Now it is not the time to teach Liu Jinyuan's martial arts. He just needs to continue practicing the body tempering technique. Now his most important task is the imperial examination. As for how to review, Chen Kan does not need to worry about it at all.

"Did you decide to accept Jin Yuan as your disciple?" asked Bai Yu Zhenren, Tianshi Mansion.

"Um."

"Personal disciple?"

"Be a registered disciple first. He has completed the test I left seven years ago, and there is no problem at all. After this Beijing exam, I will officially accept him as a registered disciple." Chen Kan said: "When he completely eliminates the cause and effect with the court, he will accept him as a personal disciple."

"You're so sure that he can become the No. 1 pick?"

"Of course, it's because he is my Xuanxu's eldest disciple." Chen Kan seemed very confident about this.

The top scholar has said before that he is a person with great fortune, and this fortune is given by the court, so before the cause and effect of the court has been eliminated, Chen Kan cannot accept him as an introductory disciple or a personal disciple, because that means that Lou Guandao participated in the affairs of the dynasty, which is a taboo in the cultivation world and is also unwilling for monks.

"Yes." Seeing Chen Kan so rationally, Bai Yu nodded and accepted the registered disciples. Chen Kan could decide on such a thing himself. As long as he was not a disciple or a disciple in the family, the problem would be not big, because the disciple and a disciple in the family represent the future of the sect, so he needed to be more rigorous.

Chen Kan has not been in Chang'an for too long. After all, there is nothing here. Chen Kan goes directly to Nanzhao. It is time to pay off the cause and effect that he owe Lin Qing'er back then.

Lin Qing'er promised to give Chen Kan a message to the Golden-winged Phoenix, hoping that the Golden-winged Phoenix could lend him the Wind Spirit Pearl to her, and the price Chen Kan paid was to teach Zhao Ling'er.

As for why he went to Nanzhao Kingdom, not Yuhang, it was because Chen Kan wanted to find Du'er and asked Du'er to take him there. At the beginning, Du'er took Zhao Ling'er and his party to Lingxian Island. It must have known the way, so that Chen Kan would not have to look for it himself.

Du'er, Zhao Ling'er, Grandma Jiang and others are familiar with each other. When they see Du'er, they will definitely believe it, so that they will save themselves from slapping their mouths.
