During this time of fighting side by side, their feelings for each other blossomed quietly, growing ever deeper.
Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze are like two stars among a sky full of twinkling stars, illuminating and guiding each other.
On nights of intense practice, they would confide in each other and encourage one another under the moonlight.
Every swing of the sword, every breath, became a testament to their shared growth.
Over time, their martial arts skills have reached a new level.
Under the mysterious man's careful guidance, they finally gained enough strength to uncover the long-buried secret—Qi Guze's true identity and the truth about the martial arts kingdom back then.
On a dark and windy night, a mysterious master summoned Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai to his presence.
"After this period of training, your martial arts have improved significantly," the mysterious man said. "Next, I will tell you some secrets about the Martial Arts Kingdom and the Dark Night Alliance."
Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai listened intently, knowing that this would be an important step in uncovering the truth.
The mysterious man began to recount the history of the Martial Arts Kingdom and the Dark Night Alliance, revealing some previously unknown secrets.
It turns out that the Dark Night Alliance was once part of the Martial World Kingdom, but for some reason, the Dark Night Alliance betrayed the Martial World Kingdom and established its own independent entity.
The Wulin Kingdom has always wanted to reunify the Dark Night Alliance, but the Dark Night Alliance's power is deeply entrenched and the Wulin Kingdom cannot shake it.
"Then, what about that Imperial Advisor?" Xu Yuehuai asked, puzzled.
The mysterious man continued to explain, "The Imperial Advisor is actually a puppet of the Dark Night Alliance." He said, "The Dark Night Alliance is trying to control the entire Martial World by controlling the Imperial Advisor. Qi Guze's mother was hunted down by the Dark Night Alliance because she knew this secret."
Qi Guze's eyes widened in fury as he listened. "I must avenge my mother!" he declared angrily.
The mysterious man nodded. "You need to remain calm."
He cautioned, "The Dark Night Alliance is a powerful force; you must uncover their conspiracy step by step."
Xu Yuehuai also said firmly, "We will definitely succeed!"
The mysterious man smiled with satisfaction. "I believe you," he said. "Next, I will take you to a place that is the Dark Night Alliance's secret base."
They followed the mysterious man to a secluded cave with a secret passage leading directly to the Dark Night Alliance's base. "This is their lair," the mysterious man said. "Be careful not to be discovered."
Qi Guze and Xu Yuehua nodded, and they carefully infiltrated the Dark Night Alliance's base.
Inside the base, they discovered a shocking secret: the Dark Night Alliance was plotting an invasion of the Wuling Kingdom!
"We must go back and report this immediately!" Xu Yuehuai said anxiously.
Qi Guze also realized the seriousness of the situation. "We cannot allow Wuling Kingdom to be threatened!" he said.
They quickly withdrew from the Dark Night Alliance's base and returned to the Tianxianglou branch.
Duan Nian and the others were very happy to see them return.
"Where have you been all this time? We were so worried!" Duan Nian complained.
Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai exchanged a glance and decided to keep their discovery a secret for the time being.
They didn't want Duan Nian and the others to be in danger, so they had to take action themselves first.
"We went to a place to practice martial arts," Qi Guze explained. "Next, we need to go to the Wuling Kingdom's palace to take care of some matters."
Although Duan Nian and the others had some doubts, they didn't ask any further questions. They prepared some supplies and medicines to get ready for the rest of their journey.
On their way to the Wuling Kingdom's palace, Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai discussed their next plan as they traveled.
The hustle and bustle of the martial arts capital seemed to have cast a fog over them, and they needed to explore the truth within this fog.
However, finding the truth is no easy task.
They encountered countless obstacles and difficulties, like a small boat caught in a storm, in danger of capsizing at any moment.
They decided to first go to the emperor of Wuling Kingdom and report the Dark Night Alliance's conspiracy to him.
They knew it would be a tough battle, but they were prepared.
After overcoming countless hardships and dangers, Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai finally arrived at the royal palace of Wuling Kingdom.
They met with the emperor of Wuling Kingdom and reported the Dark Night Alliance's conspiracy to him.
The emperor was shocked upon hearing this, and he said gratefully to Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai, "Thank you for informing me of this matter in time."
He decided to immediately assemble the army and prepare for defense.
Then, Qi Guze suddenly received a message from a mysterious person—the person who harmed his mother was inside the Wulin Kingdom's palace.
"I never imagined that the person who harmed your mother is still alive! I will definitely help you catch that person!" Xu Yuehuai said.
Qi Guze was deeply moved.
"Yes, thank you, Miss Xu!"
Although he has not yet regained his memory, his feelings for Xu Yuehuai have deepened, as if he has fallen in love with her all over again.
Next, they continued to search for news of that person. In the process, they encountered many troubles, but each time, they turned danger into safety by virtue of their superb martial arts skills and wisdom.
Behind all of this lies the increasingly genuine affection between Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze.
They trusted and relied on each other, becoming each other's strongest support.
In their quest to uncover the truth, their bond, like a sword being honed, grows ever sharper. After a series of investigations and pursuits, they finally uncover the true culprit who framed Qi Guze's mother—an ambitious minister.
Like a venomous snake lurking in the night, he is willing to frame the innocent and even use the power of the Dark Night Alliance to try to overthrow the entire martial arts kingdom for power and profit.
Meanwhile, they also unexpectedly discovered a larger conspiracy—this minister was plotting to collude with foreign enemies in an attempt to overthrow the Wulin Kingdom.
This was like a bolt of lightning in the night, leaving them utterly astonished.
They knew that if this conspiracy succeeded, the Wulin Kingdom would face annihilation.
Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai immediately informed the emperor of Wuling Kingdom of this news.
The emperor was furious upon hearing this and decided to take immediate action to arrest the minister and strengthen border defenses to prevent foreign invasion.
A fierce battle unfolded within the palace. Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai, along with the emperor's personal guards, raided the residence of a minister.
After a fierce battle, they successfully arrested the minister and handed him over to the emperor for punishment.
The emperor ordered the ministers to be executed in order to quell public anger.
With the conspiracy exposed and resolved, the martial arts kingdom temporarily returned to peace.
Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai also breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that this was only a temporary calm, and the Dark Night Alliance's power still existed. They still needed to continue their efforts to maintain peace and stability in the martial arts world.
