Chapter 281 Accepting a Disciple
The next second, Li De appeared invisibly in the banquet hall he had been to before.

After sensing the location of the clone left by Lloyd and the silver-haired swordsman Sylfa, Li De flew towards Sylfa's location in stealth.

"Lord Lloyd!?" As soon as Li De approached Sylfa from behind, the silver-haired swordsman had already sensed the aura leaked out after Li De turned into Lloyd.

As for why there was doubt in Xilufa's tone, it was because Li De had not yet lifted his invisibility.

However, Sylfa had no 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 to hide from time to time.

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

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

Then the two of them 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, Sylfa couldn't help but remind Li De.

"It's okay, Xilufa, I have opened the library of banned books a long time ago." Li De answered casually.

"As expected of Lord Lloyd." Sylfa praised immediately after hearing this.

If Lloyd's strength had not been exposed by Reed before, Sylfa probably would not have believed it, but at this moment she had no doubts at all.

Because that night at the palace banquet, she personally felt how powerful Li De and his group were.

Therefore, Xilufa did not doubt what a strong man of Li De's level said.

Not only do I not doubt it, I am even proud of it.

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

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

It was difficult for Li De to judge the mentality of this silver-haired swordsman.

As they walked forward, when they arrived at the entrance to the underground library of forbidden books, Sylfa saw two guards sleeping soundly against the porch.

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

"Except for the handover matters, few people come here, so let them have a rest!" Li De answered as he revealed his figure and flew directly into the downward passage.

And Xilufa didn't bother about the fact that Li De let the two of them sleep, and immediately followed quickly.

After a while, the two arrived at the door of the underground forbidden book library.

Although the gate is closed at this moment, there is no means of prohibiting entry from outside.

It was obvious that 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 around.

And this is only natural.

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

So except when someone remembers to check the seal, there are usually only two guards working in three shifts guarding the ground entrance.

As for who will remember to check the seal and when, 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 of their interest, generally no one would think of coming here unless the king gives a direct order.

So this made it convenient for Reed, otherwise Reed would have to take Sylfa into the forbidden book library without triggering Lloyd's means.

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

Arriving at the central hall, Li De said, "Xilfa, wait a minute."

"Okay, Lord Lloyd!" At this moment, Sylfa didn't understand what Reed wanted to do, but her eyes instinctively followed the flying Reed.

Then he saw Li De flying to a corner and pulling out a wooden box that exuded a sense of vicissitudes from the corner.

The next second, when Li De opened the box, Xilufa's eyes suddenly showed extreme surprise.

Because inside the box was a scroll that allowed her to understand what it was at a glance.

"Slave Scroll." Sylfa couldn't help but murmur softly.

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

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

"Lord Lloyd, please research as much as you want." After branding her soul, Sylfa opened her hands and said to Li De.

"Xilufa, you are so nice." Li De then smiled happily.

After all, even Li De had never encountered such enthusiasm from Xilufa.

You know, even for Jiuying and Claire, Reed still had to explain it.

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

"Okay, I understand." Li De nodded.

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

The next second, Sylfa, who had been excited, suddenly had a dim look in her eyes.

"Xilufa, the first order is to forget what is happening now." Li De said immediately.

"Yes, Master!" Sylfa replied dully.

"The second order is to give you three days to find a suitable reason, such as not delaying Lloyd's research on magic, so as to resign from your job in the palace and leave the palace." Reed continued.

"Yes, Master!" Sylfa answered again.

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

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

The next second, Li De disappeared in the palace.

Only after Li De disappeared did Sylfa's eyes become lively again.

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

He will become the strongest magician in the continent in the future. Is it necessary for me to learn swordsmanship? If I don't learn swordsmanship, is there any meaning for me to stay in the palace? It seems that it is time to leave. "Then Xilufa began to mutter to herself.

When it came to leaving, Sylfa's eyes suddenly became firm.

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

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

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

Seeing Tao's extremely excited eyes when she first saw him, and then hiding herself after seeing the other women, and her words and actions were also very restrained, the shadow clone knew that the target of this mission would be difficult to handle. "Excuse me!" The shadow clone stood up after saying this, and then walked up to the second floor.

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

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

To be honest, Li De was also having a headache about how to deal with Tao.

Although through Tao's reaction, Li De undoubtedly confirmed Tao's attribute of being a face lover.

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

But it is normal if you think about it, the practice of martial artists has always been accompanied by the tempering of their character.

In addition, after seeing the girls' lack of confidence in themselves, it is not surprising that he gave up reluctantly.

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

Moreover, because of concerns about the big guy who issued the task, the shadow clone did not activate the active or passive charm, otherwise it would be completely possible for him to roll in bed with Tao at this moment.

But if you don't open up the channel connecting the soul, it will not be easy to get the peach.

"Um. May I ask, Lord Xide, what is the matter that you called me here this time?" Tao asked uncomfortably after seeing Li De staring at her as he walked down.

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

But the encounter that Tao expected did not include another group of S-rank female adventurers.

Although she is quite confident about her appearance and figure, Tao knows that she cannot compare with others in terms of strength.

So even though she no longer dared to believe it, Tao gave up on further contact with Li De.

Inferiority in strength is only one point; 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 in his mind, he finally compromised on the task.

Li De admitted that the 10-point penalty task in One Punch World did leave him with a psychological shadow.

Previously, I had to give up the mission because I didn’t have enough strength.

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 no matter how much he planned, he didn’t expect Tao to restrain her desire for her own beauty, which is a bit embarrassing.

Because Li De cannot use force against this target person.

Moreover, Li De always felt that the punishment for failing the second mission might be even heavier.

So after brainstorming, Li De finally chose to compromise.

"Eh" Tao opened her eyes wide in disbelief when she heard that.

She thought of countless possibilities, but she never thought that Li De wanted to take her as his apprentice.

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

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

Who told Li De to make the decision at the last minute?

But temporary does not mean hasty.

After ruling out all possible shortcuts, the only path Li De can choose is this one.

"So, what's your answer?" Once Li De made his decision, his tone and expression suddenly changed.

"This. That..." Tao was a little at a loss for a moment.

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

"Xiao Tao, becoming Sid's disciple is something that others can't even ask for." Claire on the side said immediately.

After all, even when it came to the task of training the Knight of Justice, Li De did not accept the Knight of Justice as his apprentice. Instead, he used his resources to get Ri Lun to accept him, and he became Springbeard's cheap junior apprentice.

Therefore, strictly speaking, as long as Tao agreed, he would be Li De's founding disciple.

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

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

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

This action made Claire's eyes twitch constantly.

It was obvious that she was still a little behind Beta in terms of insight into people's hearts.

After all, Beta has mastered the ability to read people's expressions.

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

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

This is the noble who intends to introduce her to Shalum.

Then the handsome guy among the nobles behind can be chosen by yourself.

"Thank you, Master!" Tao immediately replied gratefully.

"Are you feeling better, Chelsea?" Li De shouted to Chelsea beside him after picking up Tao.

"Master, I'm here!" When Chelsea heard Reed calling her, she knew that she was back to life.

"First, take Tao to buy some dresses for the banquet. In the meantime, I have already found someone. Xiao Tao, after you have completed the etiquette training, I will hold a debut party for you and announce that you have officially become my disciple.

Remember to learn etiquette carefully from the person who teaches you etiquette. After all, nobles pay great attention to these aspects. If you have a perfect manner, you will be more highly regarded in the social world. " 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 nobles not to look down on her and wanted more handsome guys to be fascinated by her, she had to learn this etiquette seriously.

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

"Master, why do you want him to be your disciple?" Gama, who had been silent, asked in confusion.

"I feel that the punishment for failing the second mission will be heavier, and since I can't use force on Tao, this is the best option." Li De sighed.

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

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

As soon as she finished listening to Reed's words, Claire saw the message that Reed sent through the contract.

That's it!
