The 15th, sunny.
At 9:00 AM, under the camellia tree in the courtyard, Qu Feiyan held the newly updated "Chronicles of Jianghu" in her hand and slowly read aloud the latest contents.
"On April 23, the Cihang Jingzhai of the Great Tang Dynasty wiped out the Jiuhe Gang in Shanyang City, south of the Great Tang. That night, they encountered the Yin Gui Sect. It is suspected that Wanwan, the Holy Maiden of the Yin Gui Sect, and Shi Feixuan, the Holy Maiden of Cihang Jingzhai, were both injured in the battle."
"On April 25th, the Great Qin Kingdom's guardian mage, the Moon Goddess, predicted that the child who would endanger the empire's survival was in the Mechanized City."
"On April 28th, Wei Yixiao, the Green-Winged Bat King, Yang Xiao, the Left Guardian of Light, and Tong Baixiong, the Hall Master of the Wind and Thunder Hall, all under the command of the Sun Moon Divine Sect of the Great Ming Kingdom, entered the early stage of the Grandmaster realm."
……..
Upon reading the news from the Sun Moon Cult, Qu Feiyan paused and said, "Sister Dongfang now has three experts at the early stage of the Grandmaster realm under her command."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Yaoyue sneered, "It's just that it was forcibly boosted by the medicinal wine made from the Nine-Leaf Nine-Heart Grass. What's so amazing about that?"
Qu Feiyan and the other women were already used to Yaoyue's disdain.
In any case, whether it was Dongfang Bubai or Yaoyue, they would always make a few sarcastic remarks whenever they heard news about the other party.
Immediately, Qu Feiyan continued to flip through "The Chronicles of Jianghu".
"Um?"
However, just then, as if she had seen something, Qu Feiyan quickly whispered, "On the first day of the fifth month, Ye Gucheng, the Lord of Baiyu City, will reach the peak of the Grandmaster realm and invite Ximen Chuixue of Hanmei Manor to a decisive battle at the Forbidden City on the night of the full moon three months later."
"On the fourth day of the fifth month, Chuixue, the west gatekeeper of Hanmei Manor, accepted the challenge."
"On the seventh day of the fifth month, Emperor Ming granted Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue special permission to have a decisive battle in the Forbidden City."
After reading these three messages aloud, Qu Feiyan's eyes lit up.
"Are Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue about to have a match?"
Upon hearing this news, not only Qu Feiyan and the other girls, but even Shuimu Yinji and Yaoyue were taken aback.
Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue are the two strongest swordsmen of the younger generation in the Ming Dynasty. Their strength is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
If it weren't for Chu Qinghe, neither Yaoyue, Dongfang Bubai, nor Shuimu Yinji would dare to claim a guaranteed victory against these two.
Naturally, the two women were also quite interested in the news that Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue were about to have a decisive battle.
Qu Feiyan couldn't help but exclaim, "As expected of the top swordsmen of the younger generation, the imperial court actually agreed to let Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng have their duel in the Forbidden City."
Xiao Zhao, standing to the side, asked in confusion, "But in the Forbidden City, inside the imperial palace, wouldn't something bad happen if Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng were to have a duel?"
Qu Feiyan said casually, "What could possibly happen? Cao Zhengchun and Zhu Wushi are both experts at the late Grandmaster level. Moreover, Sister Yue and the others said before that there are also experts at the Celestial Realm in the palace. There will inevitably be some experts watching the battle. Although Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng are strong, what's there to be afraid of?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhao's face showed a look of sudden realization.
"That's true!"
However, compared to the other women, Chu Qinghe, who had been in a lazy posture, raised his eyebrows slightly, showing some surprise.
"At this moment, Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue are going to have a final battle in the Forbidden City?"
Then, a flash of inspiration struck Chu Qinghe, as if he had just thought of something.
In the next instant, fragments of information rapidly surfaced in Chu Qinghe's mind and began to connect.
Gradually, a deduction also became clearer and more complete in Chu Qinghe's mind.
A few breaths later, Chu Qinghe's lips curled into a smile.
"He really is an old fox; he actually had this in mind."
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe asked Yaoyue and Shuimu Yinji, "Do you know how many experts at the Celestial Realm are in the palace?"
Although she didn't know that Chu Qinghe would suddenly ask this question, Shui Mu Yin Ji thought for a moment and then said, "According to my master, there are three Celestial Realm warriors in the palace."
Although Yaoyue did not respond, she did not add anything or refute anything.
Clearly, it means the same thing as the Jellyfish Yin Princess.
Chu Qinghe muttered, "They claim there are three, which means there are at least three experts at the Celestial Realm? No wonder they can control the entire martial arts world."
Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Yaoyue and the other women, including Shuimu Yinji, all looked at him.
Noticing the look of realization on Chu Qinghe's face, Yaoyue asked, "Is there a problem?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe chuckled and said, "It's nothing, I just understood some things that I hadn't figured out before."
Then, amidst the women's confusion, Chu Qinghe slowly said, "After confirming that Zhu Wushi was the leader of the Azure Dragon Society, this was basically the Azure Dragon Society's target this time. We just haven't figured out what method the Azure Dragon Society plans to use to help Zhu Wushi sit on that dragon throne."
During this time, while chatting with Qu Feiyan and the other girls, Shuimu Yinji also learned about Zhu Wushi's situation.
Naturally, they also learned that Zhu Wushi was one of the seven leaders of the Azure Dragon Society.
Therefore, upon hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Shui Mu Yin Ji's watery eyes flickered slightly before she spoke up: "You mean that the final battle between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng was orchestrated by the Azure Dragon Society?"
Chu Qinghe said lazily, "It's pretty much the same!"
Yaoyue said, "There are martial artists at the Celestial Realm in the palace. How could a mere duel between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue allow Zhu Wushi to successfully ascend the throne?"
Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng are indeed strong, but they are only effective against younger generations of martial artists.
