Chapter 230 The Great Battle Ends
Zhu Ziyue nodded slightly. Just then, Ling Xueyan's soul awakened and spoke within Ling Qichen's body: "Brother, it's my fault for making you worry..."
"Little sister!! That's great!! I heard you speak! I can feel your presence!" Ling Qichen exclaimed excitedly to herself.
Shao Ji Qianxue immediately said, "That's excellent! When it's time to help break the seal, your little sister can send her spells, which will make things twice as easy!"
With the candidate to break the seal now in place, everyone was overjoyed.
After Xiaoyao Lang finished healing Yue Ruchu, as he was practicing breathing exercises to regulate his inner energy, Yue Ruchu suddenly collapsed into his arms. "Master, I thought I would never see you again!" Her voice trembled with sobs, still filled with sorrow.
"Alright, alright! It's all over now!" Xiaoyao Lang said reassuringly, but he didn't know what to do with his hands.
Seeing the two so intimately, Yu Linglong glanced over, while Murong Hanchan coldly said, "Since they are disciples, why are they so ignorant of etiquette? What kind of behavior is this?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyao Lang felt a chill run down his spine. He turned his head and glanced at Yu Linglong, who was also standing beside him. Instantly, a complex mix of emotions welled up within him.
Yue Ruchu raised her head, her bright eyes scrutinizing Murong Hanchan. "Master, who is she?"
Xiaoyao Lang stood up, dusted off his clothes, and answered without hesitation, "She is your master's wife!"
The unexpected reply made Murong Hanchan's face flush instantly, and her previous arrogance vanished without a trace! Yu Linglong's heart tightened upon hearing this, and her eyes flickered. These words were like thorns, deeply piercing her heart.
Yue Ruchu's brows furrowed. "Master's wife?! Then that night with you... um~"
Before Yue Ruchu could speak, Xiaoyao Lang quickly raised his hand to cover her mouth and whispered to her, "If you can't speak properly, don't speak! Do you want to get me killed?!" As he spoke, he didn't forget to turn his head and chuckle foolishly at Murong Hanchan.
Seeing this, Murong Hanchan sighed, "The battle over there is over, I have some things to take care of, you two chat." After saying that, she turned and left. When she passed Yu Linglong, she stopped and glanced at her before walking away coldly.
"Fine! You're so fickle!?" Yue Ruchu broke free and shouted loudly.
Xiaoyao Lang was immediately helpless. If Murong Hanchan knew about his affair with Qiuxia, she would definitely kill Qiuxia, given her temper. So he pretended to be indifferent and said, "Remember, I am your master. Don't meddle in your master's affairs and don't be disrespectful."
Upon hearing this, Yue Ruchu pouted and snorted coldly, turning away and remaining silent in her sullen mood.
Yu Linglong stepped forward and teased, "Now that you are a teacher, you should set an example! Yet you are still so reckless, where is the image of a master, let alone a grandmaster of a sect?"
Xiaoyao Lang, slightly embarrassed by Yu Linglong's reprimand, lowered his head and remained silent. Yue Ruchu, confused, turned and questioned, "What business is it of yours how my master is? Why are you making such a fuss?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyao Lang felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, secretly thinking he was doomed. Sure enough, Yu Linglong raised a sharp eyebrow and coldly said, "According to the rules of the Heavenly Pole Palace, what kind of greeting should you give me?"
Xiaoyao Lang bit his lip, slowly moved forward, and took Yu Linglong's hand. "Stop messing around! Give me some face!"
Yu Linglong rolled her eyes at him, her soft voice deliberately raised, "It's one thing that you don't greet me, but your disciple doesn't greet me either. Is this the rule you taught?"
Xiaoyao Lang felt helpless and immediately said to Yue Ruchu, "Yue Ruchu! Come here and pay your respects to your grandmaster!" After saying that, he waved his hand to Yu Linglong.
Yue Ruchu's eyes widened instantly. "Me?...Her!?" She pointed at herself first, then at Yu Linglong, asking incredulously.
“That’s right! She is your grandmaster. Quickly pay your respects.” Xiaoyao Lang said to her with certainty.
Yue Ruchu pouted, her clear eyes scrutinizing Yu Linglong before reluctantly kneeling and bowing, "Grand-disciple Yue Ruchu greets Grandmaster."
Yu Linglong glanced at her with her eyes lowered, "Without rules, there can be no order. From now on, pay attention to your demeanor, use polite language, and respect others. Keep an appropriate distance from your master, control your emotions, and don't let others laugh at you."
Under Yu Linglong's meticulous guidance, Yue Ruchu felt that this grandmaster truly possessed a certain air of authority, far more composed than her own master, Xiaoyao Lang. She couldn't help but feel a surge of respect for her. "I will remember, thank you for your teachings, Grandmaster!"
"Then get up! From now on, follow your master and cultivate diligently." Yu Linglong's voice suddenly softened as she spoke.
By this time, the battle between the two armies was inevitable, and the Ling-Zhu allied forces suffered a crushing defeat. Zhu Zijian and all his commanders were captured, and his soldiers who had not fled all surrendered.
Xiang Kui, Xue Qingrou, and their leaders arrived, bringing Zhu Zijian and the others bound. "Little girl! We've won a great victory this time! All the enemy generals have been captured. What do you suggest we do with them?!" Xiang Kui said excitedly to Murong Hanchan.
Xi Molong, brandishing his spiked hammer, shouted, "Insolence! How dare you speak to our leader like that? Do you have a death wish?" With that, he glared angrily at Xiang Kui.
"You..." Xiang Kui's eyes were also red, and he was about to explode when Chong Sheng hurriedly stretched out his arm to stop him, thus suppressing his anger.
Although Xi Moguang was dull-witted, Murong Hanchan genuinely liked this kind of subordinate, so she didn't say anything more.
When Zhu Zijian and Zhu Ziqiao saw Zhu Ziyue, they struggled to their feet and shouted, "Little sister! Help us! Help us!" "Little sister! It's me, your fifth brother!"
Zhu Ziyue turned her head and glanced at them, saying, "So what if we lose? It's the inevitable trend. Why struggle?"
"You..." Zhu Ziqiao was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Murong Hanchan glanced at them with a cold, sharp gaze, then said to Xiang Kui, "Big guy! Release them all!"
"Release them!?" Xiang Kui was shocked and raised his hammer, saying, "We finally caught them, how can we let them go so easily!? Besides, our former gang leader Shi Jiquan died at their hands, they must pay for it in blood!" Xiang Kui said hot-bloodedly.
Murong Hanchan stepped forward and placed her jade-like hand on Xiang Kui's arm. "Big guy, I can understand your feelings. But when will this cycle of revenge end?" She turned around and said in a deep voice, "If we're talking about hatred, I, Murong Hanchan, have a deep-seated grudge. Although my enemy has been executed, my family cannot be brought back."
"Chan'er!" Xiaoyao Lang hurriedly stepped forward to show his concern, "What's past is past, don't dwell on it anymore, okay?"
"Mm!" Murong Hanchan nodded and smiled sweetly, then said to Xue Qingrou, "Sister Xue, please tell Xue Huai Ren that this is all Murong Hanchan can do to quell the rebellion in Baiyun City. I hope that for the sake of all people, he will unite the people of several continents and, like he did with the people of Shanshui City, restore peace and prosperity to them!"
