52 The Beginning of the Turmoil
Yun Su's pretty face glowed with happiness. After the young lady left happily...
Seventh Uncle turned around angrily, laughing and scolding, "I said, Eighth and Ninth, you two are really disloyal! Neither of you came to help! How can I possibly reason with Miss alone? You can go and talk to Master yourselves later."
One of them clutched his stomach and bent over, finally bursting into laughter. "Seventh Brother, you were the one who promised this, so you're the one who had to go and say it."
"Seventh Brother, Ninth Brother is right. This matter should be reported as soon as possible. This is no small matter concerning Miss. Although we are watching over her, there shouldn't be any problems. However, the lover Miss has chosen is a ruthless man."
Judging from his appearance, his external martial arts skills seem incomplete, and they're progressing too rapidly. If you don't intervene now, sir, you'll miss your chance.
Uncle Qi nodded, then shook his head. 'Let Master handle this troublesome matter himself. I'll just stick with the shield!'
Back in his room, he took out a bronze mirror with a mysterious pattern, about the size of a palm, with a Qilin carved on the back, soaring through the clouds and looking down at the world, seemingly unhindered by the three realms.
After a while, a mysterious light flashed across the surface. Uncle Qi quickly said, "Master!"
A hearty voice, tinged with age, came from the other end of the line; the person sounded quite old. They asked with concern, "Seventh Brother, how have you been lately?"
Uncle Qi quickly replied, "Master, Miss is doing well. However, she has recently taken a liking to a talented young man skilled in external martial arts. But the spiritual energy here is mixed. Miss wants you to invest in some elixirs to replenish her deficient qi and blood."
"Oh, my little princess, you've actually found someone you like! Not bad! Before, you looked down on this one and that one. You didn't even want to go to the prince's house. Tsk tsk! Pills are no problem for you. What do you think of this person?" The old man opposite him asked, quite surprised.
"Master, this man's surname is He and his given name is Chen, He Chen as in 'the fall of the empire!'" Then he continued.
"Based on our clues, this person originally passed the imperial examination for the lowest level. Due to the death of a family member and other external factors, he abandoned his literary pursuits and turned to martial arts. Moreover, the origin of his external martial arts skills is unknown. He is now a sixth-level master, decisive in killing, and can be considered one of the most outstanding talents of our time."
"To earn the praise of the seventh brother, she must be quite good; much more reliable than my daughter."
'Hehe, sir, Miss is just concerned about you!'
'Alright, you don't need to speak up for her anymore. She hasn't contacted me personally for so long. Sigh! How does she compare to you?'
Uncle Qi replied earnestly, "Master, I am no match for this man. His external martial arts are too strong, difficult to break through, and his precious sword is far too sharp."
'Oh, so the three of you teamed up?'
"Master, if the three of us join forces, the Three Talents Formation can probably only hold them off for a short while!"
The old man was silent for a moment. "That's truly remarkable! There aren't many people who receive such praise from Seventh Prince! She truly is worthy of being my daughter!"
Uncle Qi didn't say anything, just chuckled.
"Sir, this man is also planning to build a city on the border. I will send you the details."
"I understand. Qi-replenishing pills and the like are indispensable. Since we're going to invest, let's go big. It's too stingy for a young lady like me. I'll ask my old friend for some money later."
After a while, two bottles of pills were passed over. Immediately afterwards, a happy and gloating voice rang out.
"Heavenly King's Heart-Nourishing Pill, Life-Regenerating Pill, Seventh Brother, do you think you've bet enough? Haha, if you're going to bet, let's go for something big again. Send the Thousand Cavalry over. Haha, they'll have to pay for their own army's upkeep."
It was cut off immediately.
Uncle Qi smiled helplessly, thinking to himself, 'You two are alike! Miss, you've chosen someone; you need to mature quickly, or you'll face considerable trouble later!'
Wang Cheng, Yun Su's father Yun Jinlong, who had just been gloating, now couldn't stop smiling. Tears were streaming down his face.
"Godfather, what makes you so happy? Did Sister Su'er send a message?" At the doorway stood a young woman, dressed in a fine brocade robe with cloud-patterned hair, her long hair adorned with a jade dragon and phoenix hairpin. A simple yet elegant sword hung at her waist. She stood straight and graceful, exuding the air of a great general.
"Qing'er, you've come at the perfect time. Su'er isn't as understanding as you. It must have been tough for you. As for being happy, it's because I just played a big game. I'm getting old; if I were younger, I would have taken a knife and done a good job."
Then, "Qing'er, your sister Su'er has found a lover. Go and give her your opinion! Take all the Thousand Cavalry with you. And any family members who are willing, take them too. Leaving them in this royal city is a waste!"
"Ah, Godfather, is something important?"
"No, Qing'er, don't worry. It's just that Su'er's lover is planning to build a city. Go and take a look, and help oversee the process."
'But if they all leave, what will become of you, Godfather?'
"Haha, it's alright. Without the Thousand Riders, aren't they more at ease? Besides, would anyone dare to kill me? And frankly, I'm just too lazy to care!"
Yun Jinlong spoke domineeringly, then glanced casually at the air, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, and the surrounding environment seemed to transform into a war-torn illusion! Smoke filled the air, and the dead and wounded were everywhere!
He said, "Is that so? With a thousand cavalrymen leaving the city, I don't want to see any further trouble."
Silence fell over the void! After a long pause, the silence was clear: no objection meant agreement!
Then, turning to Yun Qing, he instructed, 'Leave the city before dawn tomorrow. The soldiers are cunning! From now on, don't overthink things; you've already given enough. You owe no one anything. I hope you live a happy life.'
Yun Jinlong looked at Yun Qing, whose surname was his but who was not his biological daughter. He named her Qing, hoping that things would proceed gently and without too much trouble.
"Yes, Godfather, take care!" Yun Qing's eyes were filled with reluctance, but leaving now was a good thing for everyone!
He Chen entered the courtyard; the moon was already high in the sky. He was unaware of the commotion he had caused. Standing in the courtyard, gazing at the bright, clear moon, he felt truly refreshed!
Just now, sword energy surged forth! The path of cultivation in life truly cannot be stopped. At this moment, I feel no fatigue whatsoever.
So Yunfeng took flight, leaping three thousand feet in a single bound, riding the wind and treading on the clouds. At this moment, carried by the clouds and accompanied by the wind, he seemed like a celestial being.
They quickly arrived at their home in Hualin Town. At that moment, Jie Huayu and Sister Lan were sitting side by side on a bench in the garden.
Bathed in moonlight that flowed like tassels, the two women exuded an ethereal and otherworldly purity! Startled by the sudden appearance of a person, they instinctively ran over upon recognizing the familiar figure.
Then, the night was no longer peaceful. Warmth filled the air. I tossed and turned all night. Only in the early morning did things quiet down. I gently sat on the edge of the bed and pulled the covers up.
She gazed at it for a while, her pretty face glowing with happiness! She quietly went out and came into the courtyard.
At this moment, the east was just beginning to lighten, and the rising sun had just emerged, as if welcoming a returning guest. In the courtyard, a refreshed man practiced his swordplay in the sunlight. The gleam of the blade made him appear as if enveloped in a silvery light.
Life is a journey of continuous practice!
