Don't misunderstand, I was only studying the differences in human anatomy

As soon as Lu Shuang stepped out of the palace gate, a voice came towards her.

"Sister Xingshuang, it's been a long time!"

Lu Shuang looked up and saw a young man in a yellow robe standing with his hands behind his back outside the palace gate. This man was none other than the current Crown Prince, Lu Xinghan.

He was followed by four guards, each of whom was Great Grandmaster.

"A four-clawed golden dragon robe... Lu Xinghan, when did you become the crown prince?"

Lu Shuang recognized him at a glance.

"Just recently! By the way, Sister Xingshuang, the Ten Thousand Swords Tomb Secret Realm will open in less than a month."

"I've already recruited over a dozen Great Grandmaster experts. How about we travel together?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Shuang raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Oh? I entered the Ten Thousand Swords Tomb to find the Sword Heart Grass and activate the Sword Physique."

"I remember you're also a sword cultivator. If we travel together and happen to encounter the Sword Heart Grass, who will be responsible?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xinghan was speechless.

His reason for entering the Tomb of Ten Thousand Swords Tomb was also for that Sword Heart Grass!

He was determined to get this.

To be fair, Lu Xinghan pursued Lu Shuang partly because he coveted her beauty, and partly because he genuinely liked her.

But most importantly, Empress Liu Yue wanted him to marry Lu Shuang.

Liu Yue played a crucial role in his ascension to the position of Crown Prince.

Only after marrying Lu Shuang will his position as crown prince be truly secure.

But after weighing the two options, the allure of the Sword Heart Grass ultimately outweighs the other two.

If he were to consume the Sword Heart Grass and, by some stroke of luck, activate his Sword Physique, he would have a chance to directly break through to the Celestial Person Realm. At that time, he would surely gain the favor of the Ancestor!

That kind of status is far superior to that of a mere crown prince.

Thinking of this, Lu Xinghan carefully considered his words before speaking:

"Sister Xingshuang, there is more than one Sword Heart Grass in the Ten Thousand Swords Tomb. Don't worry! As long as I find a second one, I promise I will give it to you!"

Lu Shuang stared at him for a moment, then suddenly smiled softly.

"It seems I'm not that important to you. Not even as important as a blade of grass."

"Don't bother me anymore."

After saying that, she turned and left, heading straight towards the Prince Jingnan's Residence's Mansion.

Lu Xinghan stood there, watching her retreating figure, without chasing after her.

"High talent, so what? Without the resources to build it up, you're only Mid-Stage Grandmaster now."

He muttered to himself, then turned and turned away.

"Let's go back to the palace."

He came here specifically to give Liu Yue an explanation.

Whether Lu Shuang appreciates it or not is unimportant.

Meanwhile, inside the library of the Prince Jingnan's Residence.

Lu Yunxiao was engrossed in reading a book.

Uncle Fu brought in tea, glanced at the book in his hand, and said helplessly:

"Sir! Are you reading these books again?"

"Uncle Fu, what do you know?" Lu Yunxiao didn't even look up.

"In books, you'll find beauty like jade; in books, you'll find houses of gold."

"Yan Ruyu, this old servant has indeed seen her."

"But what's the use? In this world where martial arts reign supreme, what future can studying possibly bring?"

He didn't understand, and could only shake his head.

"By the way, sir," Uncle Fu changed the subject.

"I've already investigated Lu Feng thoroughly. He was originally a constable in Cang Province Lin'an Town, Cangzhou in the north..."

Then, Uncle Fu recounted Lu Feng's background in detail.

"Oh?"

After listening, Lu Yunxiao closed the book in his hand, a rare smile appearing on his face.

"Judging from this, Lu Feng is actually quite good. Shuang'er will be happy to travel with him."

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Uncle Fu chatted with him for a while longer.

"Miss should be back soon, this old servant will take his leave now."

"Go ahead, go ahead." Lu Yunxiao waved his hand.

Uncle Fu walked to the door, then suddenly stopped, turned back to look at his master, and earnestly advised him:

"Sir, you should read less of these kinds of books in the future; they're bad for your health."

After saying that, he shook his head and turned to leave.

What do you know?

Lu Yunxiao muttered something under his breath as he watched his retreating figure.

At the entrance of the Prince Jingnan's Residence.

"Miss is back!"

Lu Shuang was in a bad mood and walked silently into the mansion, casually asking:

Where is Lu Yunxiao?

"The master is currently reading a book in the library."

"It's one thing for everyone to treat him like a piece of trash! But he himself considers himself a piece of trash?!"

Hearing this, Lu Shuang's anger intensified, and she strode towards the library.

Seeing that he couldn't stop him, Uncle Fu hurriedly followed behind, his heart pounding with anxiety, hoping that Lu Yunxiao wasn't reading that kind of book.

At this moment, Lu Feng was cultivating in his room when he suddenly heard a commotion outside.

He immediately went out and followed the sound to the library.

Lu Shuang was pointing at Lu Yunxiao and cursing loudly.

"Lu Yunxiao! You're so old, yet you still act disrespectfully!"

"Do you know what people in the capital are saying about you these days? They say you're a good-for-nothing! You couldn't even keep your wife; she ran off with someone else!"

"You're a complete coward! It's bad enough that your wife ran off with someone else, but all these years you've been living off her!"

"You, a prince, even if you can't cultivate, can't you at least live a decent life?!"

"Look at yourself now! Where is even a trace of the dignity of a prince?!"

Uncle Fu stood aside, wanting to step forward and explain several times, but he didn't know where to begin.

Lu Feng entered the library and scanned the room with his eyes!

"Good heavens..."

"The Diagram of Yin-Yang Harmony and Intercourse", "The Classic of Hundred Meridians and Soft Bones", "The Union of Yin and Yang", "The Secret Record of Spring Growth"...

The room was full of books, and eight or nine out of ten were picture books of this kind.

Moreover, there are not only human ones, but also many animal ones.

What about works like "The Fox Demon's Nighttime Play on the Peach Blossom Bed" and "The Hundred Beasts Submitting to the Beauty in an Erotic Painting"...

"Lu Shuang's father has some rather... unusual hobbies," Lu Feng thought to himself.

One of the books was lying open on the ground, with a man and a woman entangled on its pages, a scene too obscene to behold.

Lu Feng glanced at it only once before quickly looking away.

It must have been when Lu Yunxiao was reading these books that Lu Shuang caught him in the act, which led to this whole scene.

Lu Feng was pondering what excuse he could come up with to slip away!

Just then, Lu Yunxiao spoke up:

"Shuang'er! You've misunderstood your father! I'm studying the differences in human anatomy! It's not what you think!"

Hearing this, Lu Feng was taken aback.

They exclaimed in disbelief! Caught red-handed, he still managed to deny it without batting an eye!

Lu Shuang, who had calmed down a little, was enraged again upon hearing this, and her anger was even stronger than before!

"Research?! I'll let you do research!"

"I'm going to set this room on fire today and burn all these books down!"

As she spoke, she actually took out a spark from her storage bag.

"No! No!"

Lu Yunxiao turned pale with fright and rushed forward to protect the books.

These books are treasures he painstakingly collected one by one over decades!

Seeing his beloved books about to perish in the flames, he blurted out in desperation:

"You dare! If you dare burn them, I'll pretend you're not my daughter!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Shuang froze on the spot.

She stared blankly at Lu Yunxiao, hardly believing that those words had come from Lu Yunxiao mouth.

"Well... well... well, well done Lu Yunxiao!"

"You'd actually abandon your daughter for these worthless books?"

"Alright! From now on, you can go with your books!"

With that, she flung her hand away and stormed out the door.

"Miss... Master..."

Uncle Fu stood there, never expecting Lu Yunxiao to say such a thing.

I'll go check on Miss Lu!

Lu Feng left with those words and quickly chased after him.
