"Thank you Queen."

Wu Zheng thanked Lin Yuan, but turned around with a sneer on his face.

"Your Majesty, I am a little tired."

Lin Yuan stood up, and the palace maid helped her walk to the platform. Lin Yuan whispered to the palace maid:

"Send someone to keep an eye on Mingchou and Lanyin tonight."

The maid said, "Sister, why don't you keep an eye on Ruomei, to prevent the lecherous emperor from taking another concubine. It would be too unfair to you."

Lin Yuan said disdainfully: "No need..."

She paused, her eyes suddenly softened: "Zhou Qing is back?"

The palace maid paused and nodded slightly.

Lin Yuan's face showed true tenderness: "He finally decided to come back. I will go see him after the Feixian Ceremony is over."

The maid whispered, "Sister, he is just an ordinary person. Why are you willing to give birth to a daughter for him and wait for him for so many years?"

Lin Yuan stopped, remained silent for a long time, and sighed:

"Junior sister, I was ordered by my master to go down the mountain to help Feixian Pavilion control the Western Dynasty and make the cultivators in the world continue to fight, just for the stability of the upper world."

"This is the overall situation. I killed the crown prince Wu'an, married Wu Zheng, killed Simingcheng's family... all of this is my duty."

"But more than that, I also want to live for myself."

"Although Zhou Qing is an ordinary person, he understands me the best. Even though he knows who I am, he doesn't try to please me or distance himself from me out of fear."

"It's so hard to find someone in this world who truly understands you."

The maid thought for a long time and asked again: "Senior sister, you will return to Feixian Pavilion after the Feixian Ceremony. What about Zhou Qing?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "I will take him and Yiren to Feixian Peak together. Master has already promised me this."

…

The heavenly fighting field.

There is only one match left in the second round of fighting.

"Southern District Bingxin No. 7 match, Zhenyang Sect's Xu Caihe versus Thunder Sword Sect's Zhang Xu!"

The lucky one to be the finale was Xu Caihe, but she didn't feel any joy at being the focus of the whole audience.

Because she knew this Zhang Xu, a master cultivator at the first level of Nascent Soul.

His combat power ranks among the top five among the young disciples of the Thunder Sword Sect.

With her two skills, they are not enough to fill other people's teeth.

"What should I do? Should I give in, too?"

"But if I give in like this, my dad will definitely beat me to death if he finds out!"

Xu Caihe stood alone on the fighting stage, her legs trembling and she almost knelt down.

"Cai He, come on! It's the coolest to challenge someone of a higher level!"

"Come on, Sister Xu!"

“Gugu!!”

In the stands, Zhou Ling'er, Yun Wu and Tian Huangnu were all cheering loudly for Xu Caihe.

Xu Caihe wanted to cry even more when she heard this.

I am only at the seventh level of Golden Core, while others are at the first level of Nascent Soul. How can you let me jump to the next level?

Do you want me to die?

"Hahaha, the little girl is almost scared to tears!"

"I know this Xu Caihe. She's just a rookie. She only got to where she is today because of luck!"

"Senior Brother Zhang will definitely win!"

"You know what? What if Xu Caihe is using the honey trap just like Su Xin?"

"Senior Brother Zhang never touches women, so it's useless even if a beauty comes!"

All the disciples of Lei Jian Sect were unwilling to accept Ming Hu's surrender to Su Xin. Now their senior brother was facing off against a female disciple of Zhen Yang Sect. They all hoped that Zhang Xu could clear the name of the man of Lei Jian Sect.

At this time, Zhang Xu finally appeared.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he slowly stepped onto the fighting stage. Each step he took was firm and he showed the demeanor of a master.

Xu Caihe held her sword tightly and watched Zhang Xu walk towards her. She smelled a strong smell of blood emanating from him.

"Is he still a demon who kills people without blinking an eye?!"

Xu Caihe became even more frightened. She dropped her sword to the ground with a clang, and her voice became tearful:

"Wuwuwu, don't hit me, I, I admit it..."

Bang!

Before she could finish her words, there was a bang and Zhang Xu fell to the ground, bleeding all over the floor, blood oozing from his mouth, and his whole body twitching.

“…”

The whole place was silent.

The referee went forward to check on Zhang Xu, patted his face and felt his pulse, and saw Zhang Xu rolling his eyes and spitting out blood. The referee shook his head regretfully and announced loudly:

"Southern District Bingxin No. 7 match, Zhenyang Sect's Xu Caihe versus Thunder Sword Sect's Zhang Xu, Xu Caihe wins!"

"I won?" Xu Caihe looked confused.

The disciples of the Thunder Sword Sect in the audience were all in disbelief:

"how so?"

"What kind of magic did Xu Caihe use?"

"Why did Senior Brother Zhang fall down before the fight even started?!"

"Shady dealings! Shady dealings!"

"There is something fishy going on!"

At this time, another referee came on the field and shouted:

"Thunder Sword Sect disciple Zhang Xu had a tough fight in the first round and has been seriously injured. It is not easy for him to hold on until now. Please ask the Thunder Sword Sect to take him to treatment as soon as possible!"

Everyone then understood, and someone remembered that Zhang Xu also encountered a Nascent Soul cultivator in the first round. The two were evenly matched and fought fiercely.

In the end, Zhang Xu narrowly won, but was also injured.

Unexpectedly, his injuries worsened by the delay and he fainted on the stage during the second round of fighting.

"Fuck! Isn't Xu Caihe's luck too good?"

"Damn it, I don't believe she can make it to the end by luck!"

Xu Caihe walked down the fighting stage in a daze, her mind still a mess. Liusu ran over and patted her with a smile:

"Senior Sister Xu, you are so lucky, you can go on a blind date!"

Fang Xue also stepped forward and said, "Congratulations, Senior Sister Xu!"

In the stands, Zhou Linger shouted, "Caihe, you are amazing, I love you!"

Yun Wu also waved at her: "Sister Xu is so amazing!"

The Phoenix girl flapped her wings: "Gu!"

Wei Wan came over and said calmly, "Someone is watching us."

Everyone was startled and was about to look around when Qiu Zhihe said:

"They are coming for Xiaolan and me. Si Minglan is also being targeted."

"Third Senior Sister is also being targeted?" Fang Xue's eyes were slightly stern: "Who is it?"

Qin Gengyun glanced at the platform and said, "It should be someone from the West Palace."

Fang Xue asked quickly, "Have our identities and those of Third Senior Sister been discovered?"

Qiu Zhihe said calmly: "Xiaolan used the orchid technique. My husband's body cultivation technique is too conspicuous. If someone pays attention, it should not be difficult to detect it."

"What should we do?" Liu Su asked, "What should we do?"

Qiu Zhihe sneered: "Don't worry, the Western Emperor and Lin Yuan will not take action before the end of the Feixian Ceremony. The same goes for us. Tomorrow... everything will be clear."

Qin Gengyun held Qiu Zhihe's hand and said to everyone, "Let's go, let's go back first."

Mo Xiaolan looked at Si Minglan who was walking out of the Tiandao Fighting Arena in the distance, hesitated for a moment, and said to the others:

"You guys go back first. I'll go talk to Sister Si first."

Qin Gengyun was about to speak when Qiu Zhihe suddenly said to Xiaolan, "I'll go with you."

Noila Mo was startled, then she bowed and said, “Thank you, Sister Qiu.”

Qiu Zhihe nodded to Qin Gengyun and told everyone, "Don't leave Chang'an Palace tonight. Regain your strength. There will be a big battle tomorrow."
