As time went by, those people gradually fell one by one, while Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai fought with increasing ferocity.
Ultimately, through their relentless efforts, the enemy was defeated one by one and scattered.
Before they left, they left a message saying, "Do you think you can be so smug forever just because you defeated us once? We'll be back!"
Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of worry in each other's eyes.
They knew these people wouldn't give up easily, and that even bigger trouble awaited them.
"Qi Guze, are you alright?" Xu Yuehuai asked with concern.
Qi Guze shook his head. "I'm fine."
He knew perfectly well that these people were definitely after him; otherwise, they wouldn't have happened to be here by chance.
Xu Yuehuai looked at him and asked curiously, "Your Highness, who sent these people?"
Qi Guze shook his head. "I don't know."
He was also very puzzled. He didn't know these people at all. Who were they?
Why would someone attack themselves?
At the same time, he was a little confused. Why did Xu Yuehuai call him "Your Highness" just now?
What exactly is his identity?
Xu Yuehuai noticed the confusion and bewilderment in his eyes. "You really don't know who these people are?" she asked again.
Qi Guze shook his head again, "Mm."
He was also very anxious, feeling as if he had forgotten something important.
Xu Yuehuai looked at him, "Your Highness, what are your plans next?"
She guessed that Qi Guze had been pretending to be the national advisor of the martial arts kingdom all this time, and that he must have some hidden plans to make, so she wanted to ask him about his intentions.
Qi Guze shook his head. "I don't know."
He was also very confused, wondering what he should do next.
Where can I go to find my lost memories?
Xu Yuehuai looked at him and found him particularly strange at that moment.
The way he looked at me was unfamiliar. Had I lost my memory again?
So Xu Yuehuai tentatively said, "If you need help, you can come to me anytime."
She took out her jade pendant, which Qi Guze had given her before.
“I am at the West Manor in the capital. Take this jade pendant and come find me. Someone will take you in.”
When Qi Guze took the jade pendant, he acted as if he didn't recognize it at all.
Qi Guze nodded. "Thank you."
He looked at Xu Yuehuai and wondered why she seemed so familiar with him, but he didn't want to tell her his current state. So he said goodbye to Xu Yuehuai and left for the time being.
Meanwhile, a mysterious man in black suddenly appeared atop a mountain thousands of miles away. He stood atop the peak, looking down at everything below, a cold smile playing on his lips.
After Qi Guze left, Xu Yuehuai wanted to follow him, but he shook her off.
She had no choice but to leave, returning to her residence in the capital.
Pei Xuan and the others were on night watch when they saw her return and rushed over to her.
"Miss Xu, where did you go all by yourself? Why do you smell so much blood on you?"
Xu Yuehuai said, "It's nothing, I just encountered some people blocking the way, and I've already taken them out."
"I also met the prince, but unfortunately..."
Pei Xuan quickly asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
"It seems that the prince has lost his memory again."
Xu Yuehuai looked at the distant moonlight and sighed.
"He still didn't recognize me when he saw me this time."
"What exactly is going on?"
"Where did the original imperial advisor go?"
She hadn't been able to find the white-robed man from before, and she guessed that he might be the former national advisor of the martial arts kingdom.
But now Qi Guze has lost his memory again, and she has lost track of him. She doesn't know what he went out of the city for, or when they will be able to meet again.
“We have already sent people to investigate thoroughly, and we expect to find clues soon,” Pei Xuan said.
"I hope so."
Xu Yuehuai went back inside to rest first.
The next day, they saw two familiar people in the courtyard: Chu Guangbai and Lu Mu.
"How did you suddenly come to the Kingdom of Martial Arts?"
Xu Yuehuai was quite surprised to see the two of them.
Chu Guangbai sat down on the chair next to him, fanning himself. "Having learned of your whereabouts in Wulin Kingdom, it's only natural that I, as your collaborator, had to come here."
"Manager Xu, I met Young Master Chu on the way here, and that's why he brought me here. I hope I haven't caused you any trouble."
Xu Yuehuai laughed and said, "How could you possibly cause me trouble? I need you right now."
"I'm planning to open a few more Tianxianglou branches in the Wulin Kingdom, and I'll need your help to manage them."
Lu Mu said, "That's wonderful! I've learned a lot about business during this time, and I'm sure I can help Manager Xu manage the Tianxianglou branch in Wulin Kingdom."
Xu Yuehuai then called out Zhou Wan and Xia Sen, greeted Chu Guangbai and the others, and then they discussed how to open a branch of Tianxianglou.
Chu Guangbai said, "Manager Xu, now that you've opened a branch of Tianxianglou in the martial arts world, I'm sure many people will come looking for you to cooperate."
"Of course," Xu Yuehuai said. "I've already had people negotiate with a few shops, and I expect to hear back in the next couple of days."
“In that case, we can probably set up a profit-sharing system for the shops, just like we did in the Dark Moon Kingdom. I’m sure a lot of people would want to join us,” Chu Guangbai said.
"Yes, we still need your help with all of this."
"I have some urgent business to attend to during this period, and I will give you a larger share of the profits."
Xu Yuehuai was still thinking of finding Qi Guze and the national teacher of the martial arts kingdom.
Chu Guangbai waved his hand and said, "Forget about splitting it up. We can just split it equally. That's what we agreed on before. I won't ask for more from you."
“That’s fine then,” Xu Yuehuai said. “But I still have to thank Young Master Chu for his help, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to handle it all by myself.”
"By the way, Young Master Chu, is there anything else you have to do in Wulin Kingdom during this time?"
"Actually, I came to see the little princess. I heard she's with you. Could you help me arrange to meet her?" Chu Guangbai said.
"Okay," Xu Yuehuai replied.
Around noon at the end of the month, Xu Yuehuai sent someone to fetch the little princess.
When the little princess came over and saw Chu Guangbai, she hid behind Xu Yuehuai.
"Were you sent by your brother to arrest me?"
"No, His Majesty asked me to come and check on your safety, Princess, so I came to see you. Now that I see you are safe and sound, I'm sure your brother is relieved."
Chu Guangbai respectfully bowed to the little princess.
