Qing Yuzi's words sent a chill down He Yunxiao's spine. The sudden breach of Luoyue Pass was suspicious in every way. Luoyue Pass was, after all, the strongest pass in Qi, known as "the pass that the moon cannot cross." How could Luoyue Pass be breached before Yin Jing received intelligence?
Only now, with the news of Qing Yuzi, do we know that it was actually the Grandmaster of Yan Kingdom who made the move!
None of He Yunxiao, Meng Qingqian, or Fan Ziruo had ever considered the existence of a Grandmaster from the Yan Kingdom. It was practically an unwritten rule in the martial arts world that Grandmasters never interfered in worldly affairs. No one expected the Grandmaster from the Yan Kingdom to actually make a move.
If a Grandmaster can break through Luoyue Pass, then he can also break through Yinjing City.
Disrupting the martial arts world of Yinjing, turning Han Wenxin against his cause, and a Grandmaster breaching the city...
If so, although the Yan army lacks heavy siege equipment, it still has the ability to break through Yinjing City and behead thousands of soldiers.
Whether it was capturing the capital city of Yin and taking the royal family hostage, or killing the commander-in-chief before the battle, the Yan army had a Grandmaster in command, giving them an overwhelming advantage. No wonder the Yan state dared to launch a war; now I understand, now I understand.
After a moment's thought, He Yunxiao almost figured out the whole story. This matter was too important, so he didn't waste any time. He asked Ruobao to discuss it with Qingyuzi, and then rode to the outskirts of Yinjing City that very night to deliver a message to Mengbao.
...
He Yunxiao didn't leave after delivering the letter; he was still waiting for Mengbao's reply.
Meng Qingqian replied to He Yunxiao very quickly. (M.cascoo.net)
"Nothing is wrong at home, so please rest assured."
These eight simple words brought a knowing smile to He Yunxiao's face.
Mengbao used "home" instead of "city," which speaks volumes about the power of love.
...
Qingyuzi settled down in the camp of the New Chu Army.
She has her own room, but she's never seen living there. She spends her days either pestering He Yunxiao or discussing Dao with Chu Fan, seemingly tireless.
With Qingyuzi holding off He Yunxiao, Ruobao and Youbao were able to relax.
Ruobao used to manage to go three times a week, working one day and resting two, barely breaking even. But Youbao found it quite strenuous to go twice a week. This was even with her having studied dance since elementary school, giving her superior stamina compared to the average woman. Without that foundation from childhood, who knows how it would have been.
With Qingyuzi around, the two of them could take more vacation time. They slept more every day, and their energy and skin improved. Qingyuzi's appearance also strengthened Ruobao's idea of dragging her best friend Yunbao into the mess.
It's better to keep the good stuff within the family. He Yunxiao is ultimately a good person, and since Yin Yun doesn't have a lover yet, we should at least let them get to know each other.
...
One morning, He Yunxiao's dog cautiously peeked out of the door.
There is no Master Qingyuzi on either side; it is advisable to go out.
He Yunxiao had just stepped out of his house when Qing Yuzi suddenly appeared in front of him.
With utter helplessness, He Yunxiao cupped his hands to Qing Yuzi and said, "Daoist Master, we are not destined to be together."
Qing Yuzi:......
"Doesn't the Taoist priest have any work to do?"
Just as Qing Yuzi was about to speak, He Yunxiao said again, "Daoist, you wear the same clothes all day long, why don't you change them?"
Perhaps sensing the offense in He Yunxiao's words, Qing Yuzi's ethereal voice carried a hint of anger, "I have no affinity with you today."
"Please wait, Daoist Master," He Yunxiao said, then added, "I have nothing to do today, so how about you change your clothes, Daoist Master?"
Qing Yuzi didn't speak. But she didn't leave either; she was waiting for He Yunxiao's response.
"It's early morning now, just the two of us going. We'll be back before noon."
Although He Yunxiao's handsome appearance pleased Qing Yuzi, as a peak martial arts expert, she naturally wouldn't have any unnecessary entanglements with a junior like him. As for clothes, Qing Yuzi was used to wearing white and didn't have any other plans. However, the fact that He Yunxiao suddenly didn't bring Chu Xiaoxiao piqued Qing Yuzi's curiosity, so she decided to go and see for herself.
“Okay,” Qingyuzi agreed.
He Yunxiao certainly didn't have any good intentions.
Buying clothes for Qingyuzi is just a pretext, just like when your girlfriend makes you oysters for a late-night snack—you have to understand the situation.
Only after they were traveling on the road to Yanyang City, far from the military camp, did He Yunxiao speak.
"Master, did Xiaoxiao come along?"
"No."
"In that case, it's just the two of us here."
"Young Master He, what is the meaning of this?"
He Yunxiao rolled his eyes. "Daoist Master, tell me the truth, do you like Chu Fan?"
Qing Yuzi:? ? ? ? ?
He Yunxiao gestured the two-meter distance between Qing Yuzi on horseback and himself, then said, "I, He Yunxiao, am probably just a front for the Daoist Master. The Daoist Master's daily discussions of Dao are actually a plan to have more contact with Chu Fan, aren't they?"
From He Yunxiao's perspective, there's absolutely nothing wrong with Qing Yuzi liking Chu Fan. What female character doesn't like the male lead?
Qing Yuzi said indifferently, "He is a disciple of this sect."
"That's great."
Qing Yuzi:? ? ?
"To be honest, Master, Fan Ziruo was my teacher before."
"You dare to betray your master and ancestors?" Qing Yuzi's usually emotionless voice betrayed his astonishment upon hearing about He Yunxiao's situation.
"Why not? Mutual affection is what matters. As for worldly rules, screw them."
Qing Yuzi did not respond to He Yunxiao's words. Even though she cultivated the "True Meaning of Freedom," which emphasizes doing as one pleases, she still could not accept the idea of "betraying one's master and ancestors."
He Yunxiao revealed his true intentions: "Daoist Master, if you like her, just confess! Stop bothering me every day."
These past few days, Qing Yuzi has been pestering He Yunxiao every day, giving this man who has taken the Soul-Devouring Pill a rare taste of the helplessness of a middle-aged man. Qing Yuzi's age and appearance are unknown, but she has a good figure and a pleasant voice, not at all annoying. However, He Yunxiao just wants her to climb on him so he can sleep soundly on the sofa.
