Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques-Chapter 1063 - 326: The Ninth Princess Returns to the Divine Capital! Lu Changsheng Takes Action for the First Time, Astonishing Everyone!
"I've heard that the Princess specifically recruited a top expert from Liang City in Xia State."
"What? Did the Princess truly travel all the way to Xia State just to recruit this Lu Changsheng?"
"What qualities does this Lu Changsheng possess that would make the Princess go to such lengths to recruit him?"
"I don't know exactly. But if the Princess holds this Lu Changsheng in such high regard, he must have some real capabilities."
"Nevertheless, during this mission to the Ouyang Family, we'll surely discover the truth about Mr. Lu; we're just waiting to see."
No matter the rumors in the Princess Mansion, they couldn't affect Lu Changsheng.
At that moment, Lu Changsheng was seated inside a carriage.
Lu Changsheng glanced at the Ninth Princess.
This Ninth Princess indeed had no one else available.
Even though he had just joined the Princess Mansion, he was immediately "entrusted with important duties."
If there were capable, autonomous personnel, would the newly joined member of the Princess Mansion be sent to the Ouyang Family to handle such a significant task?
This could only indicate that the Princess Mansion truly lacked top warriors.
They could only rely on Lu Changsheng.
But this could be a good thing.
The stronger Lu Changsheng was, the more prominent his status in the Princess Mansion would be.
However, this matter with the Ouyang Family must be handled beautifully!
After about half an hour, the carriage stopped outside a massive estate.
This was the Ouyang Family residence.
The Ninth Princess stepped down from the carriage.
Immediately, someone from the Princess Mansion announced the identity of the Ninth Princess.
The Ninth Princess didn't put on airs and patiently waited outside the estate.
Soon, a member of the Ouyang Family hurriedly came to greet her, and upon seeing the Ninth Princess, he respectfully bowed and said, "Greetings to Your Highness. I apologize for not welcoming you sooner; it's a disgrace!"
"No matter."
"May I enter now?"
"Certainly, Your Highness, please."
The Ouyang Family dared not obstruct.
Thus, the Ninth Princess, accompanied by Lu Changsheng and others, smoothly entered the Ouyang Family residence.
They soon arrived at the guest hall.
The core figures of the Ouyang Family were all present in the hall.
They hadn't come out to greet the visitors; it wasn't arrogance.
The current situation in Divine Capital was exceptionally complex.
Princes and princesses alike were trying to win over the Ouyang Family.
If they showed excessive enthusiasm toward a particular prince or princess, it would cause trouble.
Such actions could convey incorrect signals, leading other factions to misjudge.
That would be a real problem.
Therefore, the Ouyang Family chose to appear "discourteous" rather than overly enthusiastic.
"Ouyang Fu greets Your Highness!"
In the guest hall, Lord Ouyang Fu attempted to perform a grand courtesy to the Ninth Princess.
But how could that be possible?
The Ninth Princess quickly stopped Ouyang Fu, smiling as she said, "There's no need for such a grand courtesy, Lord Ouyang."
Ouyang Fu said nothing more and rose promptly.
Then he escorted the Ninth Princess to the principal seat.
"Your Highness, may I inquire about the purpose of your visit?"
Ouyang Fu asked, even though he could guess the Ninth Princess's intention, he had to "play dumb" at this time.
Ouyang Fu had weighed all the princes repeatedly.
But he had never considered the Ninth Princess.
After all, the Ninth Princess's faction was too weak, and she couldn't possibly win the throne.
Joining the Ninth Princess's camp would be pure folly, wouldn't it?
Ouyang Fu wasn't that foolish.
The battle for the throne is not child's play.
A single misstep could lead to total defeat.
Such a cost is too high; the Ouyang Family cannot afford it.
The Ninth Princess glanced at Ouyang Fu; they were all old foxes, playing games of deception.
Without wasting words, she said directly, "I already know about Sixth Brother. Though he's gone, since you once closely associated with him, you need to find a new path."
"Ouyang Fu, what do you think about the Princess Mansion?"
Ouyang Fu's expression froze.
So straightforwardly?
It was said that the Ninth Princess was decisive and strong; now it seemed truly so.
Unfortunately, her faction was too weak, which rendered her words ineffective.
So, Ouyang Fu gritted his teeth and said gravely, "Your Highness, the battle for the throne is extraordinary. Our Ouyang Family has staked our entire family and the lives of over three thousand clansmen, making it imperative to be extremely cautious."
"Currently, the Eldest Prince and the Third Prince possess more power, and Your Highness may lack advantages. Therefore, my Ouyang Family..."
Ouyang Fu shook his head.
The meaning was clear enough.
The Ouyang Family did not favor the Ninth Princess and was unwilling to bet on her.
"Adding flowers to brocade is easier than delivering charcoal in snow; Lord Ouyang should understand this principle well."
"Moreover, does Lord Ouyang believe that supporting the Eldest Prince or the Third Prince will guarantee success in capturing the throne?"
"Only one can succeed; choosing any of them involves great risks. Ideally, you wouldn't choose at all, but the Ouyang Family is already too deeply involved to withdraw."
"Since that's the case, why not choose me?"
"As for the advantage issue..."
The Ninth Princess paused, gazing at Lu Changsheng, then smiled and said, "Looking for advantages is actually quite simple. On this trip to Xia, I found a talent like Mr. Lu."
"With Mr. Lu's capabilities, in martial power, I dare say I am not far behind the Eldest Prince or the Third Prince."
"If Lord Ouyang is skeptical, why not have a promising talent from the Ouyang Family spar with Mr. Lu, how's that?"
The Ninth Princess was confident.
On the other hand, Ouyang Fu seemed uncertain: "Mr. Lu?"
"Is this Mr. Lu really... so strong?"
Ouyang Fu carefully examined Lu Changsheng.
