Yihua Palace

Tranquil Lake

Sunlight streamed down, making the mirror-like Tranquil Lake clearly reflect the azure sky and the Moon-Inviting Figure standing on the lake.

As her long dress swayed gently, her inner energy circulated continuously around Yaoyue.

A strong sense of sharpness seemed to emanate from Yaoyue's very bones, which, combined with her aloof and cold temperament and her exquisitely beautiful face, created a beautiful picture.

However, if someone were to be above or submerge within the Tranquil Lake at this moment, they would be astonished to discover that, within a three-zhang radius centered on Inviting the Moon, there is not a single fish.

Beside her, in the pavilion, Lianxing rested her chin on her hand, her gaze unconsciously fixed on the wooden carving that Chu Qinghe had personally carved.

My thoughts were wandering, and I didn't know what I was thinking.

"boom!"

Just then, a peculiar fluctuation suddenly erupted from Yaoyue's body.

Under this unusual fluctuation, the true energy that had been flowing around Yaoyue's body like water suddenly froze.

But in the next instant, the true energy that was originally flowing around Yaoyue's body began to circulate at an even more terrifying speed.

As the true energy circulated wildly, some of the true energy within Zi Yaoyue's body actually transformed into the shape of a sword.

Under the sunlight, it looked particularly peculiar.

At the same time, the sharpness emanating from Zi Yaoyue became even stronger.

In the pavilion nearby, Lianxing noticed the change in the atmosphere from the lake beside her. She had been lost in thought and her mind was wandering when she turned her head away.

The moment her gaze fell upon Yaoyue, a look of surprise appeared on Lianxing's face.

"My sister's strength has increased even more."

Thanks to the Azure Jade Pill given to her by Chu Qinghe, Lianxing has successfully advanced to the early stage of the Grandmaster realm.

As for Yaoyue herself, she directly stepped into the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm.

Although their cultivation levels could be improved, the difference in strength between Lianxing and Yaoyue was like heaven and earth.

Through nearly a year of back-and-forth competition and hundreds of exchanges, both Yaoyue and Dongfang Bubai have improved their understanding of martial arts at regular intervals.

In addition, the two women received sword intent, martial arts, and improved their physical attributes from Chu Qinghe.

Now, Yaoyue's strength is far superior to Lianxing's.

Even the elders in the Yihua Palace who had reached the late stage of the Grandmaster realm couldn't withstand even ten moves from Yaoyue.

Their strength is self-evident.

A moment later, as Yueyue in the lake slightly raised her eyes, she took a light step forward with her right foot.

Although it seemed like she was just taking a casual step, when Yaoyue's right foot landed, it didn't land on the surface of the Tranquil Lake, but in the pavilion next to it.

Seeing Yaoyue enter the pavilion, Lianxing poured a cup of tea and handed it to her.

"elder sister!"

Looking at the teacup that Lianxing handed over, Yaoyue softly hummed in agreement.

Perhaps Lianxing's hand and foot problems had been cured, or perhaps she had taken Chu Qinghe's words to heart.

After returning to Yihua Palace from Chu Qinghe's courtyard, the relationship between Yaoyue and Lianxing had indeed improved considerably over the past two months.

In addition, during these two months, Yaoyue did not easily show her dissatisfaction or blame towards Lianxing as before. During this time, although Lianxing's fear of Yaoyue had not completely disappeared, it had decreased considerably compared to before.

With this change in mindset, Lianxing gradually became less submissive and obedient when facing Yaoyue, which had previously displeased Yaoyue.

After Yaoyue put down the teacup, Lianxing handed her the latest issue of Baixiaosheng's "Jianghu Fengyunlu" from the table.

When Yaoyue presents this episode of "Jianghu Feng"

After reading the contents of "Yunlu", Lianxing finally spoke up: "Just like my brother-in-law said, the Azure Dragon Society destroyed the Southern Shaolin Temple. Moreover, the duel between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue on the fifteenth of August did involve other matters."

Hearing what Lianxing said, Yaoyue softly hummed in agreement and said, "What he said has never been wrong."

If it were in the past, Lianxing might have been surprised that Yaoyue would trust someone so blindly.

However, after personally living in Chu Qinghe's courtyard for a period of time and gaining a certain understanding of him, Lianxing vaguely understood why Yaoyue trusted Chu Qinghe so much.

Then, Lianxing spoke up, "With the Southern Shaolin Temple gone and the imperial court now under the control of the Azure Dragon Society, won't this have other consequences for my Yihua Palace in the future?"

Yaoyue shook her head and said, "I don't know."

This time, the Qinglong Society is involved, and given the Qinglong Society's arrangements, and considering Yaoyue's understanding of Chu Qinghe, Chu Qinghe is unlikely to simply watch the show; he will probably do something else as well.

At this time, the situation in the Ming Dynasty had become chaotic.

Yaoyue was also unsure whether Yihua Palace could continue to remain uninvolved.

Seeing that Yaoyue was unclear, Lianxing sighed and said, "According to Master, the person who broke into Yihua Palace before had strange martial arts skills. It seemed to be from the Qin Kingdom and followed the magic system. Now that the situation in the Ming Dynasty is so complicated, it's no wonder that Master wants to keep the peace and not pursue the matter for the time being. He just asked us to investigate secretly."

So much has happened lately.

If it were simply a matter of the Yihua Palace being invaded by the Celestial Realm, that would be one thing.
