Fei Yi twisted her arm into an unbelievable arc and attacked Qiao Zhen. Qiao Zhen had no time to avoid it and could only cross her arms to trap Fei Yi's arm.

"Even your palace master hasn't said anything, so what do you mean by this?" Qiao Zhen deliberately added fuel to the fire. If Fei Yi attacked her as an elder of Qingfeng Palace, it wouldn't make any sense at all, since Qingfeng Palace has always been arbitrary, either doing what it wants or not.

The only explanation is that Fei Yi has different feelings for Li Luo, or she has different feelings for Qingfeng Palace. For the former, it might be admiration, while for the latter, it can only be covetousness.

Fei Yi chuckled dismissively, then withdrew her outstretched arm. She pinched Qiao Zhen's cheek and said, "Good girl, I was just teasing you. You didn't take it seriously, did you?"

Qiao Zhen held up the Qingming Lamp and waved it in front of Fei Yi, smiling wickedly. "If it were true just now, I wouldn't dare say anything." What scared her? The scorching heat from the safety device bracelet was real; the skin on her wrist was probably red again.

Fei Yi glanced at Qiao Zhen silently, then gracefully turned and left.

Seeing her leave, and hearing her footsteps fading into the distance, Qiao Zhen picked up the blue lamp and went to find Yuan Zhao. She had already reached Yuan Zhao's door, but then stopped and knocked.

"Knock knock".

"Who?" Yuan Zhao asked abruptly.

"It's me."

"Enter."

Qiao Zhen pushed open the door and entered. After going in, she turned around and closed the door. When she turned back to go in, she found a sharp, silver sword against her neck, and the person holding the sword was Yuan Zhao. She raised an eyebrow, looked up at Yuan Zhao, and brought her neck closer to the blade. "Speak your mind. I don't understand what you mean."

Yuan Zhao looked at the Azure Lamp in Qiao Zhen's hand, then raised his hand and sheathed his sword again. "What are you doing here?"

When Qiao Zhen saw him sheath his sword, she quickly smiled ingratiatingly and obsequiously. "I've come to deliver the Azure Lamp to you. I went to Qingfeng Palace because of just one sentence from you."

Yuan Zhao stared intently at her.

Qiao Zhen thought Yuan Zhao was going to deny it outright, so she hurriedly stuffed the Qingming Lamp into his hand. "No matter what, this thing was originally meant for you. If you don't want it now, you can throw it away. Anyway, I've already given it to you."

Yuan Zhao frowned as he looked at the blue lamp in his hand. He hadn't seen Qiao Zhen for several days and thought she had been abandoned again. He never expected her to act on a whim and go to Qingfeng Palace because of a single word from him.

To put it bluntly, Qiao Zhen is Yuan Zhao's permanent wish ticket, the kind that can be used wherever he wants without having to pay a price.

Qiao Zhen felt it was only natural for her to do this, but Yuan Zhao didn't think so. He suppressed the smile in his eyes and finally stuffed the Qingming Lamp into his arms, taking it as a token of love from the woman in front of him.

When did you divorce Yuan Lin?

The topic changed a bit too quickly. Qiao Zhen was stunned for a couple of seconds before asking, "Huh?"

Yuan Zhao frowned, feeling that although the woman in front of him liked him very much, she seemed to prefer the cowardly, martial arts-challenged, womanizing, and gambling-addicted Yuan Lin. He couldn't help but say forcefully, "Divorce him."

As Qiao Zhen listened to Yuan Zhao's words, her mind was already racing.

Should we listen to him?

Was my divorce from Yuan Lin what he wanted?

Why does he want me to divorce Yuan Lin?

He seems to be having a bad time in the Yuan family and wants to fight back, but he wants to spare me for the sake of Qingmingdeng, so he wants me to get a divorce.

This explanation seemed quite reasonable, so Qiao Zhen hesitated for a moment before replying decisively, "Okay."

Beneath Yuan Zhao's cold face lay a secret delight. This woman had been obedient to him when he was feigning madness, and now that he had returned to normal, she would surely listen to him even more.

After leaving Yuan Zhao's room, Qiao Zhen did not return to her own room, but went to Yuan Lin's room to find Yuan Lin.

"Young Master Yuan, please be gentle, ouch!"

A woman's sweet, coquettish voice came from Yuan Lin's room, followed by Yuan Lin's glib and slick voice.

Qiao Zhen kicked open Yuan Lin's door with a loud bang that shook the room. She walked in with a forced smile and said, "Are you in such a hurry? To embarrass me at the martial arts tournament?!"

This is a perfect opportunity for a divorce. If she seizes the chance to make a big scene, even Old Man Yuan won't have the face to try and keep her. After all, the people at the prestigious inn are all江湖儿女 (people of the martial arts world), and they despise romantic entanglements the most.

Yuan Lin felt that Qiao Zhen was making a mountain out of a molehill. He was always like this at home, and she never acted this way. Instead, he thought Qiao Zhen was deliberately trying to embarrass him in public. Thinking this, he looked at Qiao Zhen with disdain and deliberately shouted loudly, "How did I embarrass you? Where did your former politeness go? You went to Qingfeng Palace and learned to act ridiculously towards me?!"

This was exactly the situation Qiao Zhen had hoped for. So, with a hurt and incredulous expression, she looked at Yuan Lin, "Am I kidding you? You bring all these pretty girls to the martial arts tournament? Everyone here is skilled in martial arts, everyone can hear what's going on in your room! I am the daughter of the prestigious Xiao family. In terms of knowledge, I'm quite well-known in the capital. In terms of martial arts, I'm not to be underestimated anywhere in the martial world. Why should I tolerate this humiliation from you?!"

Qiao Zhen didn't deliberately lower her voice. The people who came to the prestigious inn were all families with prestige in the martial arts world. Each family had at least one person with powerful martial arts skills. Therefore, Yuan Lin's reputation in the martial arts world was really bad, and even the original owner of Xiao Zhen had to be criticized.

Soon, many people came to watch, but Qiao Zhen felt a strong gaze fixed on her from the southeast direction on the second floor, and it was also aggressive.
