“Real Qingyu, I’ve heard a lot about you!”
In front of the door of the deep courtyard mansion, Mu Xiuji, dressed as a teacher, arched his hand to Qing Yu.
Judging from his appearance alone, Mu Xiuji did not have the domineering aura that the name “Hao Qi Heavenly Sovereign” should have. Neither the way he was dressed nor the way he stood outside the door waiting for Qingyu could be described as a “Heavenly Sovereign”.
However, Qing Yu, who had consulted Mu Xiuji’s dossier beforehand, knew that this man, who appeared to be a middle-of-the-road man, was extremely decisive in his decisions, and once he had made his plans, he would act in a thunderous manner.
In the past, he did not hesitate to quit the Jixia Palace, defeating four of its priests and dueling with the High Priest for a hundred strokes, making a pact not to cross the river. Later, he established the Haoqi Academy and formed the Haoqi Alliance, displaying amazing tactics and force, which enabled the Haoqi Academy and the Haoqi Alliance to gain a foothold in the Great Qian.
After all, the Confucianism taught by Mu Xiuji and the science taught by the Jixia Palace were quite different in terms of scripture and ideology. Without sufficient force, there was no way to reach such a point.
“Heavenly Sovereign Haoqi, the poor dao has also heard a lot about you.” Qing Yu bowed his head.
Xuan Zhen also nodded his head in a clear and cold gesture.
“This is poor Daoist Master Uncle Xuan Zhen,” Qing Yu raised his hand to introduce him, “Mr Mu should be aware of some of the entanglements between Master Uncle Xuan Zhen and the Hundred Herb Pavilion. The people from the Hundred Herb Pavilion arrived in Kaiyuan City three days ago, and I think they have come for this entanglement.”
“Qing Yu is very well-informed, he has arrived today and already knows the whereabouts of the Hundred Herb Pavilion.” Mu Xiuji said with a smile.
“Mr. Mu is also well-informed, as I have just arrived in Kaiyuan City, Mr. Mu has already learned about it.” Qing Yu returned the smile.
The two looked at each other with a smile, as if they shared a sense of sympathy.
“Qing Yu, please!” Mu Xiuji raised his hand sideways and said.
“You are most welcome, Mr Mu!”
The two of them walked side by side, advancing all the way to the main hall. At this moment, in the main hall, there was a man and a woman sitting discussing things, and when they saw Mu Xiuji and Qing Yu enter, they both got up and looked at the strange duo.
“Master Lian, Mr. Lian, these two and the two real people from the True Martial Sect, Qing Yu and Xuan Zhen, have been invited to come. Real person Qing Yu, real person Xuan Zhen, these two ——”
Mu Xiuji was just about to introduce the man and the woman when Qing Yu said, “I have heard of the prestige of the Hongzhou Lian family. Master of the Lian family, Mr. Lian, poor Taoist salutes you.”
This man and woman were precisely the main targets of Qing Yu’s visit to Ling Zhou, the head of the Lian family, Lian Feihong, and her husband, Lian Lin. The two were the heads of the two branches of the Lian family, one male and one female, respectively.
If Lian Lin had been the head of the family, it would have been the Lian family.
”The Lian family is skilled in sewing and forging, and because of the underground fire in Hongzhou, the art of forging is even better. If I can bring in the Lian family, not only will I have no worries about my future blades and armour, but I will also have a basis for upgrading the Great Evil King.” Qing Yu thought darkly as he surveyed the Lian family couple.
“Greetings, you two.” Lian Feihong and Lian Lin returned the salute.
“I have heard of Qing Yu’s great reputation for a long time, we are truly blessed to have invited him this time.” Lian Feihong smiled.
Both men and women in the Lian family are relatively small due to their gong methods, while men are the type who can run a horse on their arms. This one big and one small, but it was the smaller one who was in charge of speaking, which had to be said was a bit peculiar.
‘And —— the secret affairs in the room of this big one and the small one must be wonderful!’ Qing Yu thought unscrupulously.
“Master Lian family is too kind, poor dao is only a late learner, this time to come, also for public justice and righteousness, talk about what honor or honor.” Qing Yu replied very modestly.
He knew the reason why Lian Feihong was so flattered, because Qing Yu’s position in the Northern Zhou was extraordinary, and could even influence the state’s major events. Hongzhou was close to the Northern Zhou, and Lian Feihong naturally knew of Qing Yu’s position in the Northern Zhou.
At the same time, Northern Zhou and King Shunping are now allies, and their words carry great weight. If Qing Yu were to support the Lian family, the family would have no worries about their future.
And Qing Yu, who wanted to draw the Lian family together, naturally responded to Lian Feihong’s goodwill. In the space of two words, the two sides had reached a certain consensus.
Justice and righteousness, helping the Lian family was also one of the acts of upholding justice, ah.
“Is that so-”
“But my lord does not think that there is any moral righteousness for a person with a bad heart?”
As soon as he stepped into the main hall, he spoke viciously, with malicious intent, pointing directly at Qing Yu. The visitor was none other than Xiao Qianxiu, Master of the Imperial Sword Villa, a former collaborator with the Great Qian court.
When he first stood in solidarity with the Young Heavenly Master Zhang Yuanchu, he asked himself if he had already maligned Qing Yu, and now that they had met again, Xiao Qianxiu would not think that Qing Yu would be someone who did not hold a grudge.
Xiao Qianxiu believed in the evidence provided by Department Six. That was why he knew how ruthless and cruel Qing Yu, who had faced the world as Gong Zi Yu, really was.
“Heh,” Qing Yu laughed coldly and turned back, “the poor dao also does not agree with the moral righteousness of those who have evil intentions. Master Xiao has conspired with Department Six to falsely accuse the Poor Dao, and now he has spoken evil, does Master Xiao think that the Poor Dao’s sword is not sharp enough?”
The True Martial Sword flicked out a piece of its own accord, and although there was no sword qi outwardly, the awe-inspiring daoist might caused the air in the main hall to freeze. The pupils of his eyes were indifferently calm, but there was an invisible intimidation that made Xiao Qianxiu’s heart feel deterred.
He was even stronger, almost like a monster.
Xiao Qianxiu cursed in his heart, but he felt that his estimation of Qing Yu had to be refreshed again. He was even more threatening than he had been at the succession ceremony, and his immeasurable strength made Xiao Qianxiu feel bored.
This was unbelievable, unbelievable. Xiao Qianxiu asked himself that he had lived for almost eighty years, but this was the first time he had seen such a monster.
“Hmph, you want to compete with this Village Master on who’s sword is sharp? You boast!!!”
The air shook as if ten thousand swords were roaring, and the sword rushed out to compete with Qing Yu.
“Bared…”
The ground between Qing Yu and Xiao Qianxiu cracked a sword mark, impartial, right in the middle of the two.
“Oh?”
The light in Qing Yu’s eyes was awe-inspiring, and the Heavenly Son Qi Sighting Technique was in operation, probing Xiao Qianxiu’s reality.
He was not strong enough to fight against Qing Yu, but he was not strong enough.
The light in his eyes flashed, and Qing Yu only saw a sword shadow flash past Xiao Qianxiu’s body, his sword power rose again and pressed back.
”Broken Sword ——”
The sword shadow seen at the party was actually a broken sword. Looking at the length, it was only a third of a normal sword, without the tip and hilt, it should be the middle part of the blade.
“Relying on an external object, how dare you try to be fierce with the poor Tao?”
The two qi of yin and yang converged and united, evolving a scene of Taixu, and even more so, the qi was generated, concealing a profound power of creation.
