The Blaze of the Sky seemed to bring the dawn’s rosy clouds a few moments earlier.
Zhu Minglang landed outside the palace walls, saw Wu Feng’s figure, and also saw the sisters who looked exactly alike. In the cool breeze, their eyes were filled with doubt…
Hall Master Wu Feng, with a face of shock and admiration.
Others might not know what the Heavenly Fall Vermilion Bird Sword fire just now was, but Wu Feng did.
It was the Heavenly Fall Sword Technique, and moreover, it was the fifteenth sword of the latter five. Zhu Minglang could actually wield it!!
“Junior brother, are you done?” Wu Feng took a while to compose himself and asked with a serious face.
Zhu Minglang glanced at him sideways.
If you can’t speak, can’t you just be a mute?
Are you done??
This wasn’t this suggestive? The Hall Master of the Yaoshan Sword Sect, immersed in the Sword Dao, couldn’t he read a few more books in his daily life, have a few more reliable words in his heart, and not speak like this?
“We should hurry up and leave. Princess Luoshui is Wen Lingfei, the Miao Mountain Sword Sect Leader, and my mother’s designated daughter-in-law. Knocking her out indeed took some time,” Zhu Minglang explained.
“The jade?” Nan Yuso asked.
“Here it is, we should go now, I’m afraid she will send people after us. Wen Lingfei’s mind isn’t quite right,” said Zhu Minglang.
They immediately left the Imperial City, and if they were somewhat hidden in their travels, even if Wen Lingfei was unwilling to let go, finding them would not be an easy task.
Outside the Imperial City was a splendid Maple Leaf Forest. The dawn’s glow mixed with the lingering brilliance of the sky fire, adorning the fragrant maple wood’s sea of leaves even more magnificently.
“Hao Ye will be waiting for you in the next city. He’s familiar with this area and will help you avoid the royal palace and Miao Mountain’s people. Junior brother, don’t feel any mental burden. Whatever the consequences, our Yaoshan Sword Sect will support you. Just elope with the two ladies,” Wu Feng said with a pat on Zhu Minglang’s shoulder and a hint of envy.
“Brother Wu Feng, you’ve misunderstood. My relationship with these two ladies is nothing but platonic,” Zhu Minglang said, worried about embarrassing his sisters-in-law.
Wu Feng maintained his gentle smile, yet internally, he didn’t think so.
Refusing a princess who was within easy reach, and more importantly, the youngest and most beautiful leader of the Miao Mountain Sword Sect. To say there was no relationship with these two devastatingly beautiful women, that would be too hypocritical!
“No matter what, junior brother will always be our Yaoshan Sword Sect’s legend, in the Sword Dao and in romance,” Wu Feng laughed.
He rejected the female Sect Leader of Miao Mountain!
Hahaha, from now on, their Yaoshan Sword Sect could walk with their heads held high!!
In the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent, which power would dare to say that their Yaoshan Sword Sect was inferior to those Swordswomen from Miao Mountain? Zhu Minglang’s fifteenth sword had shattered the Sect Leader’s restraints and crushed the young woman’s deep affection.
Raise the might of the Yaoshan Sword Sect’s men; upon returning, they must publicize it widely and have all their disciples stand tall!
Huh?
It seemed their Yaoshan Sword Sect had never been inferior in the first place.
“Then, brother, I’ll take my leave. Please convey my regards to Elder Sword Sovereign,” Zhu Minglang said.
“Go on, may you have children soon.”
Following the continuous Maple Leaf Forest, Zhu Minglang did not let down his guard.
The women of the Miao Mountain Sword Sect mostly suffer from perfectionism, willing to go to all measures when something dissatisfies them.
Zhu Minglang certainly did not want to be captured and forced to become the son-in-law or the husband of the Miao Mountain Sword Sect Leader… Even though she was good-looking, had a perfect body, and her swordsmanship was exceptional.
“Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh
Suddenly, the sky was filled with flying leaves, resembling thin sheets of candle flame, making the already crimson and aesthetically beautiful forest even more dazzling.
Amidst the dancing leaf flames, a woman was standing silently on the sea of leaves, her gaze fixed on Zhu Minglang and the Li Nan sisters, who were running away in this direction.
Upon seeing this person, Zhu Minglang’s mood instantly plummeted to rock bottom.
If it were Wen Lingfei, Zhu Minglang could fight her again, but whether he could escape was another matter. But if it was this person, his current cultivation base was likely not enough to contend with her!
“Are you here to capture me?” Zhu Minglang stopped in his tracks and asked.
“They are not bad, but Wen Lingfei would be much better,” Meng Bingci said indifferently, glancing at the twin sisters beside Zhu Minglang.
“My father is not bad either, why don’t you reconcile with him,” Zhu Minglang said.
“I originally came here just to inform you of the whereabouts of another piece of the Ancient Lantern Jade, as we had agreed. Since you enjoy being facetious, then find it yourself…”
“I’m sorry,” Zhu Minglang apologized without hesitation.
“Towards the direction of the Neon Sea, there is a city called Runyu City, and the City Lord’s Seal is made from the Ancient Lantern Jade,” Meng Bingci stated.
Runyu City?
Such a familiar name.
Wasn’t that the first city ownership deed he obtained when he entered the mechanical city!
Previously, Zhu Minglang had been unable to find the location of Runyu City in the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent, little did he expect it to be situated in such a remote western territory!
“Really? Runyu City? I happen to have the deed for that place. As long as I submit it to the state, I will become the Lord of Runyu City!” Zhu Minglang was overjoyed deep inside, never imagining that this deed would turn out to be so useful.
Moreover, it seemed that the people of the Imperial City were not interested in the cities of such distant lands, and the deed for Runyu City was one of the few that hadn’t been sold!
“This is the Moon Sky Stone, which I gave to Wen Lingfei when she took the position of Sect Leader,” Meng Bingci tossed the priceless Moon Sky Stone to Zhu Minglang.
Zhu Minglang frowned.
From left hand to right hand, Wen Lingfei hadn’t spent a penny!
“Generally, I would dictate your marriage, but the scene of painting the Sword Territory, which I saw from afar, I really liked. I will give the artist girl beside you two years. If she can defeat Wen Lingfei, I will personally come to the palace to annul your marriage. Otherwise, by definition, Wen Lingfei is still your wife,” Meng Bingci spoke calmly, yet steadfastly.
“You’re mistaken, the artist is my sister Nan Lingsha…” Zhu Minglang tried to explain.
“Any one of them overcoming Wen Lingfei will do,” Meng Bingci was indifferent to whether the artist was the sister or the older sister, and didn’t care whether Zhu Minglang was involved with the sister or the older sister.
“Okay, two years,” someone agreed at this moment, but it wasn’t clear who.
Zhu Minglang looked at the pair of sisters, and in his confused state, he couldn’t tell who had agreed to this matter on his behalf.
Meng Bingci did not say more. She stepped on the falling maple leaves, soaring towards the leaf canopy above, heading towards the distant sky marked by the Li Guang Star, and soon vanished from sight.
Zhu Minglang’s feelings were somewhat complicated.
In the usual knightly novels, shouldn’t a hot-blooded repudiation of marriage be handled by the man himself? Why did it seem in his case, it hardly had anything to do with him??
And…
Who was the one who agreed?
