Unexpectedly! Just as the knife shadow was about to chop down, a ray of green sword light broke through the air and quickly passed through the killer leader's eyebrows. Not even a drop of blood was splashed, and the leader's movement stopped.
He stood there stupidly, holding a big knife, his eyes full of fear, and then fell to the ground with a bang.
It all ended so quickly, leaving the killers completely unprepared. And then, they had no chance to prepare. A silent, cyan sword energy appeared, gently reaping the lives of the killers. They fell one after another. In just a few blinks, the killers who had been so arrogant and brutal just a moment ago were now reduced to a pile of lifeless corpses.
Xuan Lingzi sighed and said, "If you were below the eighth level of Qi Refining, today might still have some meaning."
Luo Jianqing walked up to Xuan Lingzi and said helplessly, "Do you really want me to be in a difficult battle? Only then will it make sense?"
Looking at his disciple's dissatisfied eyes, Xuan Lingzi fell silent and stopped talking.
They didn't notice that Madam Lin and the groom were staring at them in astonishment, their mouths watering with disbelief. A moment later, there was a loud thud, and the groom suddenly knelt, clasping his hands and saying, "Thank you so much, seniors, for saving my life! My wife and young master were saved today. Thank you, seniors!"
The pale-haired old man knelt down to kowtow and thank you, something Luo Jianqing was too embarrassed to endure. He immediately used his spiritual power to help the elderly groom up and said with a smile, "It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning. Madam Lin also helped us a lot along the way."
Next, Luo Jianqing got on the carriage, and the coachman continued on his way, and the five of them still headed towards Shadu.
This time, the little girl no longer spoke to Luo Jianqing in such a carefree manner, but instead lay on his lap. Hiding behind her mother, she secretly watched Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi with her big eyes, but she watched Luo Jianqing the most.
The carriage was completely silent. After a long moment, Madam Lin sighed and said, "Actually, I've thought before that you two might be cultivators. However, at that time, Uncle Wang didn't realize their realm, so I thought I was wrong and that you might just be martial artists. I have no way of repaying you for saving my life this time."
Luo Jianqing said: "It's just a small matter."
Madam Lin raised her head and said seriously, "This is no small matter. You two young masters saved Rongrong's life, which is a matter of great importance to me." After a pause, Madam Lin finally began to speak, "My surname is Zhao, and my given name is Zhao Yue. If you two young masters are from Wusha Country, you may have heard of me. Ten years ago, I lived in Shadu. The 'Yue' in 'Three Waters Red Moon' refers to me."
Ten years ago in Wusha Kingdom, the "Three Waters Red Moon" became famous throughout the country.
"Three" refers to Wu Ao, the third prince of the royal family. After twenty-two years of practice, he entered the foundation-building stage.
"Shui" refers to the prime minister's son Qiu Shuifu, who has cultivated himself for twenty-one years and has already achieved the ninth level of Qi training.
"Hong" is Xiao Hong, the princess of Zhennan, who has been practicing for twenty years and has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.
As for the "Yue" after them, it refers to Zhao Yue, the eldest daughter of Master Zhao's family. At the age of seventeen, she has reached the eighth level of Qi Refining and is expected to establish a foundation before the age of twenty-two!
"At that time, my father arranged a marriage for me, with Qiu Shuifu. Although I had known Qiu Shuifu since childhood, I disliked him. He was tyrannical and bullied the weak. He had talent and good looks, but lacked the character to match them. So I ran away before the wedding and met my husband."
In a small place like Wusha Country, ordinary people who want to practice cultivation will strive to participate in the trials of the immortal sects. However, the children of nobles do not like to leave their hometowns to practice cultivation, and prefer to stay in their own country. After all, they have a lot of cultivation resources and do not need to work hard on their own.
Although "entering the foundation-building stage at the age of 22" was not impressive in Taihua Mountain, even Li Xiuchen had already established his foundation at the age of 20. However, in Wusha Country, he was already the number one genius.
Luo Jianqing listened as Madam Lin continued, "My husband isn't from Wusha. His hometown is in the distant Qi State of Qizhou. He fled here. We fell in love at first sight and eventually decided to be together. However, my family wouldn't allow me to marry such a powerless boy."
Hearing this, Luo Jianqing couldn't help but ask, "Madam Lin, you just said that your husband is only 25 years old, but he's already in the early stages of foundation building. With such strength, no matter what, he should be valued by your family, right?"
Madam Lin smiled bitterly and said, "Strength is one thing, but when it comes to marriages between families, what really matters is the power behind both parties."
Luo Jianqing listened patiently.
He listened as Madam Lin calmly recounted how, at the age of eighteen, she had resolved to elope with her beloved. After the elopement, she was abandoned by her family. To repay their years of nurturing her, she poured all her cultivation into a spirit pearl, and from that point on, she was no longer a cultivator.
After sending the spirit pearl back, the family members stopped hunting them down. Even her grandfather, who had always doted on her, crossed her name out of the family tree and never recognized her again.
From then on, the couple settled down in Yingfeng City and within a few years, they had a daughter, named Rongrong. However, the good times didn't last long. Somehow, her husband's enemies came looking for them.
A year ago, her husband died tragically, and Madam Lin took her daughter into hiding again. Uncle Wang was her husband's housekeeper. He had once reached the late stage of foundation building, but due to a serious injury, he fell back to the middle stage of foundation building.
