The Martial Arts Chamber of Commerce fell into complete silence. Luo Jianqing retracted the Frost Floating Sword, and a blue lotus sword pattern appeared between his brows. Xuan Lingzi raised his hand and pressed it between his brows, and the sword pattern suddenly disappeared, returning to its original form.
By the time everyone finally came to their senses, Luo Jianqing and the other two had already left.
Before leaving, Luo Jianqing bent down to pick up the fallen mushroom bun, walked up to Qiu Shuifu, looked down at him, and said expressionlessly, "Since you are unwilling to forgive Madam Lin, you should return the dowry she compensated you with. That way, you will have the right to continue insulting and hating Madam Lin, and you will have a reason."
After saying this, Luo Jianqing turned and left, leaving the crowd stunned.
"Just now...did I really see it right?"
"A cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building can actually crush a cultivator in the early stage of golden elixir! This person is definitely a genius, and an absolute genius! He must not be from our Wusha country, he is an elite of a big country, he may even be a disciple of a big sect!"
"Oh my god, did I just see an elite disciple from a major sect? Major sects are truly incredible and terrifying. Our Wusha Nation is close to the Imperial Dao Sect. Could this person be a disciple of the Imperial Dao Sect?"
"It's very likely that he might be an inner disciple of the Yu Dao Sect!"
These words did not reach Luo Jianqing's ears, and he did not care about what had just happened in the Martial Arts Chamber of Commerce.
In his eyes, Mrs. Lin's regretful elopement was indeed wrong, causing Qiu Shuifu to lose face. However, firstly, the two were only engaged, not actually discussing marriage; secondly, Mrs. Lin also said that she had apologized in person and received his forgiveness, and offered her generous dowry as an apology.
In this case, the matter back then was settled by mutual agreement between the two parties, and neither party owes the other anything.
Now that he saw Madam Lin returning to Shadu in such a miserable state and that she was not living well, Qiu Shuifu wanted to humiliate her. This was really outrageous.
Along the way, Zhao Yue apologized repeatedly, "I never expected to run into Qiu Shuifu at the Martial Arts Chamber of Commerce. Because of me, Master Luo and Master Wu couldn't properly explore the Chamber of Commerce today. I'll definitely take you there another day."
Luo Jianqing smiled lightly and shook his head. "Madam Lin, you never thought you'd run into someone you know there, nor did you expect someone to be so aggressive in public. It's not your fault today. We've also seen the Martial Arts Chamber of Commerce, and we've almost finished exploring Shadu. In a few days, we plan to leave Wusha Country."
Zhao Yue was slightly stunned: "You guys are leaving in a few days?"
Luo Jianqing nodded: "Yes." After that, he turned around and glanced at his master, saying: "We have things to attend to, so it is not convenient for us to stay in Wusha Country for long."
Zhao Yue didn't stay any longer, and the three of them returned to the Imperial Master's Mansion together.
This time, it was not completely dark yet, and Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi had just returned to their yard when they heard the noisy sounds.
When there were no enemies around, Luo Jianqing, without Xuan Lingzi's advice, would have actively restrained his spiritual power, suppressing his cultivation to the Qi Refining stage, like a mortal. But this time, after hearing the voice, he released his spiritual awareness and quickly discovered who the person was.
Luo Jianqing raised his sleeve and poured himself a cup of tea. He took a sip and said, "I didn't expect that the people from the Imperial Master's Mansion would know the news so quickly."
Xuan Lingzi did not answer, but just looked up at Luo Jianqing and pushed his cup calmly.
Luo Jianqing didn't notice Xuan Lingzi's actions and continued, "Actually, Madam Lin isn't truly disabled. It's just that when she infused her spiritual energy into the spirit pearl, her foundation was damaged. Madam Lin helped us a lot on our trip to Wusha Country this time. Why don't we lend her a hand?"
Xuan Lingzi said nothing and pushed the cup forward again.
Luo Jianqing frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "However, Madam Lin's physique can only be considered as the lower grade of the second rank, not as good as Rongrong, who is the upper grade of the second rank. In this case, Master, should we help Rongrong and lead her into the door of cultivation, as a way of repaying Madam Lin's kindness along the way?"
Xuan Lingzi silently pushed his quilt in front of Luo Jianqing. The hazy yellow sunset light shone on his indifferent and handsome face, making him look a little cold. Luo Jianqing only then noticed his master's behavior of pushing the cup. He was speechless for a moment, then picked up the teapot and poured tea for Xuan Lingzi.
After pouring a cup of tea, Xuan Lingzi finally took back the teacup with satisfaction, took a sip, and whispered, "Good."
Luo Jianqing said, "Then let's leave tomorrow. There really isn't much interesting to see in Wusha Country. But tonight might be a sleepless night. The people from the Imperial Master's Mansion will probably come looking for us."
Xuan Lingzi tapped his slender fingers lightly on the mahogany table. He asked calmly, "What does this have to do with us?"
Luo Jianqing smiled when he heard this: "Yes, it has nothing to do with us."
That evening, when the news of Luo Jianqing defeating the Jindan-stage guard with a single sword strike reached the Imperial Master's residence, it immediately caused an uproar. Five of the six Jindan-stage cultivators in the Imperial Master's residence descended upon Luo Jianqing's courtyard, determined to meet him.
Zhao Yue's father, now the head of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, said to his daughter, "This time, Fellow Daoist Na Luo has offended someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion. In the entire Wusha Kingdom, only the royal family, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, and our Imperial Preceptor's Mansion can protect him. Yue'er, you made a grave mistake back then, and today is your chance to make amends. As long as Fellow Daoist Na Luo can join our Zhao family and become a guest official, we will definitely protect him!"
