Chapter 1284: Divine Artifact Acknowledging its Master
December 4th, 2017
In the Capital Military Camp, Luoyang City, within the imperial palace.
As Princess San drew her sword, Lu Hai Kong's heart, which had been filled with anxiety, finally settled.
Lu Hai Kong was well aware of Princess San's terrifying strength, especially in her current enraged state, where she had even unsheathed the Crimson Sky Sword. There was no way that streak of light could escape her.
However, to Lu Hai Kong's surprise, just as he relaxed, Princess San's slashing motion paused, and the streak of light seized the opportunity to fly past her and merge with one of the little ones.
Lu Hai Kong was taken aback by this turn of events, but he quickly recovered and instinctively lunged towards the little one. However, his attack halted midway, not because he had discovered something, but because Princess San had stopped him.
"What's going on?" Lu Hai Kong asked anxiously.
This was the first time Princess San had seen Lu Hai Kong so worried, and she couldn't help but feel a little jealous. Indeed, a wife could never compare to a lover from a past life.
"It's fine," Princess San explained to Lu Hai Kong. "The Crimson Sky Sword told me that the Enigmatic Zither won't harm Xier. It's acknowledging its master."
"Acknowledging its master?"
Lu Hai Kong was stunned for a moment, then snapped back to his senses. His eyes shone with a golden light as he carefully examined his daughter, and indeed, the Enigmatic Zither was acknowledging her as its master. Not only was it not harming his precious daughter, but it was also nourishing her with energy and enhancing her innate talent.
Realizing his mistake, Lu Hai Kong felt a sense of relief. He didn't feel embarrassed, as he would have reacted the same way if the situation had been different. Lu Hai Kong was a protective father, and his care for his subordinates was even more evident when it came to his children.
After about ten minutes, the radiant aura surrounding Lu Hai Kong's daughter gradually dimmed, and the little girl slowly descended from mid-air. Lu Hai Kong, seeing that the Enigmatic Zither's acknowledgment process was complete, immediately teleported to her side and carefully picked her up.
Holding his daughter gently, Lu Hai Kong repeatedly checked to ensure she was unharmed before finally breathing a sigh of relief. It was only then that he realized he might have neglected Princess San, so he turned to her with a sheepish smile.
'You're kidding, right? Flirting with your ex-lover right in front of me? Are you asking for trouble?'
But before he could say anything, Princess San, under the pretext of work, kicked him out.
After leaving Princess San's chamber, Lu Hai Kong didn't immediately return to his post. Instead, he headed straight for the Heaven Firming Pavilion.
The sudden acknowledgment of the Enigmatic Zither by its master had made Lu Hai Kong wary of the divine artifact. Initially, he had assumed it was destined to be his, but today's events made that notion seem ridiculous.
Fortunately, the Enigmatic Zither had chosen his daughter, ensuring it would remain within the Lu family. This realization calmed Lu Hai Kong, but he remained vigilant.
When Lu Hai Kong had checked his daughter's status earlier, he noticed that she had reached a state of saturation. If the Enigmatic Zither in the Heaven Firming Pavilion were to merge with her at this point, it could be disastrous, even endangering her life. So, Lu Hai Kong had to inspect the Enigmatic Zither's condition.
The situation there was stable, with the Enigmatic Zither hanging in its usual aloof manner, showing no signs of movement.
Despite this, Lu Hai Kong empowered the Emperor Cauldron to take control and suppress the Enigmatic Zither if it showed any unusual activity.
With the Enigmatic Zither situation resolved, Lu Hai Kong finally left the imperial palace.
In truth, he didn't want to leave, especially after what his daughter had just experienced. Even if Princess San had urged him to go, he wouldn't have, but he had work scheduled for the day. After opening the treasure chest, he had other matters to attend to.
Lu Hai Kong headed straight to the military camp upon leaving the palace.
Almost all of Lu Hai Kong's top generals had gathered in the Luoyang City military camp, except for those who couldn't make it.
This impressive assembly wasn't for any grand strategy but merely to attend two lectures given by Dian Wei and Huang Zhong, who had recently broken the 100 strength barrier.
Most of Lu Hai Kong's top generals had already reached a strength value of 99, knocking on the door of 100. They desperately needed the experience of breaking through this barrier, which was why Lu Hai Kong had organized these lectures.
Of course, the lessons for generals were vastly different from those for scholars. They didn't engage in philosophical discussions.
Dian Wei wasn't known for his eloquence, and while he had a deep understanding of martial arts, articulating his insights was another matter. Even simple concepts became convoluted when he tried to explain them.

If ordinary martial insights were challenging to convey, then sharing the experience of breaking through the 100 barrier was even more impossible. Neither Dian Wei nor Huang Zhong could adequately describe it.
So, their lectures moved from the military tent to the training ground.
For Dian Wei and Huang Zhong, if their martial arts couldn't be adequately expressed through words, the only option was to demonstrate them in action. If they couldn't teach with words, they would teach with their fists. If even that failed, they would be at a loss.
Their lectures began in the morning, and by the time Lu Hai Kong returned from opening the treasure chest, the group was still hard at work on the training ground.
After half a day of Dian Wei and Huang Zhong's 'sage advice,' several generals were already lying on the sidelines.
Only Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Cheng Yaojin remained on the training ground, still receiving 'instruction' from Dian Wei and Huang Zhong.
As Lu Hai Kong watched the intense combat on the field, his eyes narrowed with admiration. These formidable and fearsome generals were all under his command!
