Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

The next second, Li De had already appeared in the banquet hall he had been to before.

After sensing the location of Lloyd's clone and the silver-haired swordswoman Sylfa, Li De flew out invisibly towards Sylfa's location.

"Lord Lloyd!?" Li De had just approached Sylfa from behind, and the silver-haired swordswoman had already sensed the breath leaked out after Li De turned into Lloyd.

As for why Sylfa's tone was questionable, it was because Li De had not yet lifted the invisibility.

However, Sylfa did not have any doubts about this, because since the palace night banquet, Lloyd had received unprecedented attention in the palace.

In order to avoid trouble, Lloyd used invisibility magic from time to time to hide.

"Sylfa, come with me, I have something important to tell you." Li De said in an unusually serious tone.

"Yes, Lord Lloyd!" Sylfa followed Li De without any doubt.

Then the two walked towards the underground forbidden book library of the palace.

"Lord Lloyd, the road ahead leads to the underground forbidden book library." As they got closer and closer to the restricted area in the palace, Xilufa couldn't help but remind Li De.

"It's okay, Xilufa, I opened the forbidden book library a long time ago." Li De replied casually.

"As expected of Lord Lloyd." Xilufa praised immediately after hearing it.

If Lloyd's strength had not been exposed by Li De before, Xilufa might not have believed it, but at this moment she had no doubts.

Because she personally felt how powerful Li De and his party were at the night banquet in the palace.

Therefore, Xilufa did not doubt what Li De said.

Not only did she not doubt it, she was also proud of it.

After all, Lloyd was the prince she was willing to sacrifice everything for.

In three years, from teaching a seven-year-old prince to falling in love with this ten-year-old boy.

It was hard for Li De to evaluate the mentality of this silver-haired swordsman.

As they walked forward, when they came to the entrance to the underground forbidden book library, Xilufa saw two guards sleeping soundly on the porch.

"Lord Lloyd, what are they doing?" Xilufa asked.

"Except for the handover, few people come here, so let them rest!" Li De answered, revealing his figure, and then flew directly into the downward passage.

Xilufa did not bother about Li De letting the two people sleep soundly, and then quickly followed.

After a while, the two came to the door of the underground forbidden book library.

Although the door was closed at this moment, there was no means of prohibiting entry outside the door.

Obviously, after Lloyd abolished the seal, he did not think of using magic to seal the door to prevent others from entering when he was not there.

And this is natural.

Because this is the restricted area of ​​the palace, in the eyes of those who know the palace, the door is still sealed.

So except when someone remembers to check the seal, usually only two guards in three shifts will guard the entrance on the ground.

As for who and when will remember to check the seal, only God knows.

After all, it is impossible to expect the court magician to be very motivated.

Because these people are usually busy studying projects that they are interested in. Generally, no one will think of this place unless the king gives a direct order.

So this is convenient for Reed, otherwise Reed will have to take Xilufa into the forbidden book library without touching Lloyd's means.

Pushing the door open, Reed and Xilufa immediately entered the forbidden book library.

When they came to the central hall, Reed said, "Xilufa, wait a minute."

"Okay, Lord Lloyd!" Xilufa didn't understand what Reed wanted to do at this moment, but her eyes instinctively followed Reed who was flying.

Then she saw Reed fly to a corner, and then pulled out a wooden box exuding a vicissitudes of life from the corner.

The next second, when Reed opened the box, Xilufa's eyes suddenly looked extremely surprised.

Because there was a scroll in the box that she could understand what it was at a glance.

"Slave scroll." Xilufa couldn't help but murmured softly.

Then Xilufa saw Li De flying in front of her with the scroll.

"Xilufa, I want to study this scroll, so I need someone to cooperate with me." Li De just said this, and the rest of the words were blocked in his throat by Xilufa, who had already completed the soul imprint.

"Lord Lloyd, please study as much as you want." Xilufa opened her hands and said to Li De after imprinting her soul.

"Xilufa, you are so kind." Li De smiled happily.

After all, even Li De had never encountered Xilufa's enthusiasm.

You know, even Jiuying and Claire, Li De had to explain it.

"Xilufa will always belong to Lord Lloyd." Xilufa said immediately.

"Well, I know." Li De nodded and said.

After that, Li De completed the slave contract. As the contract scroll turned into ashes, Li De officially became Xilufa's master.

The next second, Xilufa, who was originally excited, suddenly had a dull look in her eyes.

"Xilufa, the first order is to forget what happened at this moment." Li De said immediately.

"Yes, Master!" Silufa replied dully.

"The second order is to give you three days to find a suitable reason, such as not to delay Lloyd's research on magic, so that you can resign from the palace and then leave the palace." Li De continued.

"Yes, Master!" Sylph replied again.

"Very good!" After saying that, Li De and Xilufa disappeared into the forbidden book library at the same time.

When they appeared again, the two of them had returned to the banquet hall where Li De first appeared.

The next second, Li De disappeared into the palace.

But after Li De disappeared, Xilufa's eyes became alert again.

"Isn't Master Lloyd here? It seems that he is hiding somewhere and reading those magic books. But it's time for Master Lloyd to practice swordsmanship. We must find him. Wait, does Master Lloyd still need to practice swordsmanship? ?

In the future, he will become the strongest magician in the mainland. Is it necessary to learn swordsmanship? If I don't learn swordsmanship, then what's the point of staying in the palace? It seems it's time to leave. "Then Hilfer began to mutter to herself.

When he said he was leaving, Sylph's eyes suddenly became firm.

Then Hilfer walked towards the office palace where the old king was.

On the other side, Li De has returned to the mansion.

However, his real body is not in the lobby on the first floor at this moment. In the lobby on the first floor, the shadow clone is receiving the brought Tao.

Seeing Tao's extremely excited eyes at first seeing her, and then hiding herself when seeing the other women, and becoming very reserved in her words and deeds, the shadow clone knew that the mission target this time was not going to be easy to deal with. "Excuse me!" After saying this, the shadow clone stood up and walked up to the second floor.

When he came down again, he had been replaced by Li De's body.

At the same time, Li De also accepted a series of reactions after Tao was brought.

To be honest, Li De was also worried about how to deal with Tao at the moment.

Although through Tao's reaction, Li De undoubtedly confirmed Tao's attributes.

But Li De didn't expect Tao to be able to restrain his desires.

But it's normal to think about it. The practice of martial arts masters has always been accompanied by the tempering of the mind.

Coupled with the lack of confidence in himself after seeing the girls, it is not surprising that he gave up reluctantly.

After all, Li De is not the only handsome guy, even if Li De is super handsome.

Moreover, the shadow clone did not turn on the active or passive charm due to concerns about the boss who issued the mission before, otherwise it would be completely possible for him and Tao to roll on the bed at this moment.

But without opening up the channel connecting the soul, it will not be easy to win the peach.

"Um... Sir, Sir, why did you come to me this time?" Tao asked uncomfortably after seeing Li De staring at him as he walked down.

In fact, it seems that a super handsome guy like Li De is what Tao has been looking forward to meeting.

But there was no other group of S-class female adventurers in Tao's expected encounter.

Although she is quite confident about her appearance and figure, in terms of strength, Tao knows that she is really no match.

So even if she still didn't believe it, Tao gave up further contact with Li De.

The inferiority complex in terms of strength is just one thing, and the fact that there are too many women around Li De is another.

"Do you want to be my disciple?" After Li De had a lot of thoughts for a moment, he finally spoke and compromised on the mission.

Li De admitted that the 10-point punishment mission in One Punch World really left a psychological shadow on him.

Previously, it was because of lack of strength that I had no choice but to give up the mission.

But this time it's not because of lack of strength, it's just that I don't want to waste too much time.

It's a pity that despite all the calculations, Tao couldn't restrain her yearning for her appearance, which was a bit embarrassing.

Because only against this target person, Li De can't use force.

And Li De always felt that the punishment for failing the second mission might be heavier.

So after brainstorming, Li De finally chose to compromise.

"Hey" Tao suddenly opened his eyes in disbelief upon hearing this.

She thought about countless possibilities, but she never thought that Li De wanted to accept her as his disciple.

Not to mention that she hadn't said it before, even the women around Li De were a little surprised at this moment.

Because Li De's decision was indeed somewhat beyond the expectations of the girls.

Li De himself also made a temporary decision.

But temporary doesn't mean it's rushed.

Because after arranging possible shortcuts, Li Den could only choose the current path.

"So, what's your answer?" After Li De made his decision, his tone and demeanor immediately changed.

"This...that" Tao was at a loss for a moment.

After all, this was too sudden for her. Another point is that she is currently practicing Baiyi Quan, which can be regarded as a family inheritance.

"Xiao Tao, becoming Sid's disciple is something that no one else can ask for." Claire said immediately.

After all, even in the task of training the Justice Knight, Li De did not accept the Justice Knight as his apprentice. Instead, he used resources to let Nilun accept him and became Spring Beard's cheap junior disciple.

Therefore, strictly speaking, as long as Tao agrees, he will be Li De's first disciple.

"Xiao Taojiang, you may not understand what it means to be the master's disciple. The master has a strong influence in the Kingdom of Shaloum. Countless nobles want to establish relationships with us, but they have no channel to curry favor with us.

If you become the master's disciple, it will be the best channel for these nobles. At that time, the sons of nobles in the whole kingdom, and even the princes, will want to know you. There are many handsome guys among these people. "Beta on the side added immediately.

"Master, please accept the disciple's worship!" Tao immediately stood up and knelt in front of Li De, and then planned to kowtow first.

This action made Claire's eyes twitch constantly.

It is obvious that she is indeed a little worse than Beta in terms of perceiving people's hearts.

After all, Beta has also practiced observing words and expressions.

"Xiao Tao, don't be so anxious. The apprenticeship ceremony cannot be so hasty. Since I want to accept you as a disciple, I have to let everyone in the capital know. "Li De used telekinesis to stop Tao who was about to kowtow, and then explained.

After listening to Li De's words, Tao immediately understood Li De's good intentions.

This is to introduce her to the nobles of Shalum.

Then the handsome guy among the nobles behind is left to her to choose.

"Thank you, Master! "Tao replied gratefully.

"Get well, Chelsea!" Li De lifted Tao up and shouted to Chelsea beside him.

"Master, I'm here!" When Chelsea heard Li De calling her, she knew she had another job.

"Take Tao to buy a few dresses for the banquet first. Do you need to find someone during this period? I have already found someone. Xiao Tao, after you have completed the etiquette training, I will hold a debut for you and announce that you are officially my disciple.

Remember to study hard with the person who teaches you etiquette. After all, the nobles pay great attention to these aspects. If you have a perfect manner, you can get a higher evaluation in the social circle." Li De said immediately.

"Yes, Master, I will study hard." Tao said with full energy at this moment.

After all, she also knew that if she wanted the descendants of the nobles not to look down on her and wanted more handsome guys to be fascinated by her, she must study etiquette seriously.

"Well, then follow Chelsea to customize the dress. "Li De then waved his hand and let Chelsi take Tao away.

"Master, why do you want to accept Tao as your apprentice?" Gama, who had not spoken, asked in confusion.

"I feel that the punishment for failing the second mission will be heavier, and since Tao cannot be forced, this is the best choice." Li De sighed.

"Sid, it may take a lot of time to train her." Claire couldn't help but say.

"But this is the only way for now." Li De looked at Claire and said slowly.

After listening to Li De's words, Claire immediately saw the message Li De sent through the contract.

That's it!
