"I don't even know your name yet. If we meet in the future, I will definitely repay you well."

"My name is Xiangping. Actually, there's no such thing as repaying someone. It's all thanks to that person just now. Otherwise, the two of us would have been kidnapped long ago and we wouldn't be able to speak at all." Xiangping patted the dust off his cuffs with an embarrassed look. He had never felt so miserable before.

After picking the herbs, they quickly returned to Huajian Tower. Xiangping couldn't wait to find Rong Zhen. Seeing him coaxing the child in the attic, he quietly grabbed his arm and walked aside.

"What's wrong? Why are you so mysterious? Did something big happen?" Rong Zhen saw that she was out of breath and must have jogged all the way back. Something must have happened to make her so panicked.

"That's right, today I met those people from the Du Zun faction on the mountain again, but I had never seen their shadows before. This time they all showed up. Brother, do you think there is something fishy here?!" Xiang Ping racked his brains on the way, thinking about the cause and effect relationship, but his mind went blank halfway through.

"Are you okay?" Rong Zhen was still very concerned about her safety after hearing her talk about the terrifying scene. Xiang Ping lowered her head shyly and said, "Brother, are you concerned about me?" Rong Zhen could not deny it. He put a hand on her shoulder and said, "Of course, you are my sister, of course I have to care about you. Don't go up the mountain alone again. After the news of the Qingguang Sword was released recently, those people must be anxious to show up one by one.

The martial arts conference is about to begin, and I will gather more heroes to fight against the evil ways together."

"What martial arts conference? How come I don't know about it?" Xiang Ping looked at Rong Zhen blankly. This group of people didn't even inform her when they were discussing things. She was like an outsider and she didn't know what they were doing.

"This martial arts conference will recruit soldiers and heroes from all walks of life will come to accept the invitation." Rong Zhen withdrew his hand and simply told him the competition rules of the martial arts conference. He did not reveal much else. "Wait, brother, is this martial arts conference short of judges? I can also participate."

"You...but this is not a cooking appreciation competition..." Rong Zhen looked at her with some difficulty. If it was a cooking competition, he could let her take part.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I'm quite famous in Qizhou City. If we can recruit these heroes together, more people will know about it and get involved. Wouldn't that be better?" Xiangping has come up with a brilliant idea. As long as the news is spread in all the major restaurants, these people will definitely receive invitations to participate in the competition.

Sometimes this restaurant is a place where news gathers. As long as the news is released like this, are you afraid that those heroes won't come? "What you said makes sense. I'll have someone do it right away." Rong Zhen nodded with satisfaction and went to find Ji Heng to discuss how to deal with these things.

Gu Yunru prepared some medicinal food and was about to go visit Shu'er. When she saw Rong Zhen about to go out, she walked up to him and asked, "Are you going to the government office?"

"That's right, what's the matter, my lady? Are you going to the government office too?"

"Yes, Shu'er said she was sick, so I made these medicinal foods and went to see her." Gu Yunru had been busy in the kitchen for the entire morning just to prepare these medicinal foods for Shu'er.

"What a coincidence! I'm just about to go to the government office. Let's go together." Rong Zhen held her hand, and the two of them walked out very intimately. Along the way, they heard people talking about something about the martial arts conference. It seemed that the news had spread very widely, from old men in their eighties to children in their teens. This was all thanks to Mingxuan, who let his brothers and sisters spread the news. It can be said that the whole city knows about it. There will be a good show to watch then.

"Husband, do you think Ding Ning will come over by then?" Gu Yunru thought of the young hero Ding Ding with a weird personality. It was a pity that he had such great skills but didn't know how to use them.

"I don't know, but I think so. I even made the prizes according to your wishes."

"Prize! Five hundred gold. This number is not small. The first prize is one thousand gold, the second prize is eight hundred gold, and the third prize is five hundred gold. What these chivalrous knights lack most is money. If you can lure them with money, they will surely spring up like mushrooms after rain."

"That's right. Some people are not motivated by money. They may also want to eliminate the people from the Du Zun Sect and the Qing Cang Sect. These evil people have already committed many evils and are hated by both humans and gods. Everyone wants to gather all their strength to behead them as soon as possible. I believe everyone thinks so."

Rong Zhen and Gu Yunru held hands tightly, and finally arrived at the government office. They went their separate ways. Just as Gu Yunru was about to go upstairs to visit Shu'er, she was stopped at the door by her personal maid. "Su'er, why are you stopping me? I'm preparing these tonic soups for Shu'er, and I'm just about to go see her."

Su'er stopped Gu Yunru at the door in a panic. It was obvious that she was not good at lying, but she forgot to prepare her words for a moment, so she looked extremely unnatural.

"It's like this, Madam has already rested, so please come back another day, Princess..." Su'er buried her head and muttered to herself.

"Why are you still sleeping in broad daylight? Did you get up and steal last night?" Gu Yunru just said it jokingly, but she didn't expect Su'er's expression to become more frightened. The more guilty Su'er looked, the more she wanted to go in and see if there was something he was hiding from her.

"Princess, you can't go in." Su'er couldn't stop Gu Yunru's momentum. She saw that Gu Yunru had already stepped into the door. Shu'er was lying on the bed with her clothes on. When she saw Gu Yunru come in, she reluctantly stood up and said, "Aunt, you came and I couldn't personally receive you... Please forgive me."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Let me check on you. How is your body?" Gu Yunru sat down on the bed and frowned in frustration when he saw that she was covered with such a thick quilt in such hot weather.

"Why are you covering yourself with such thick blankets in such hot weather? Why don't you ask Su'er to prepare some cooler blankets?" Gu Yunru looked at Su'er behind him with a resentful look on his face. She didn't even know how warm her master was. He had taken good care of her, so how could he have the face to stay by her side and serve her?
