“Really? Today, I insist on testing if you are the real Lin Yue.”
Xu Changsheng drew the golden Soft Sword that was hanging from his waist, forming a golden sword radiance.
Just then, a beautiful and graceful figure appeared on the mountain path. It was Qi Feiyu.
Qi Feiyu said, “Xu Changsheng, you’ve really overdone it. If you want to fight, I’ll be right there with you to the end in the final.”
Qi Feiyu walked down lightly on her slender legs. She stopped beside Zhang Ruochen and looked at Xu Changsheng unhappily.
Xu Changsheng frowned slightly and said, “Junior Sister Apprentice Qi, do not be deceived by him. According to my investigation, he may be an evil man from the Black Market rather than the real Lin Yue. ”
“Do I need you to teach me how to judge a man?”
Qi Feiyu said a little indifferently, “If you want to fight, can you defeat us by yourself?”
Zhang Ruochen looked at Qi Feiyu with a bit of surprise. He never thought this woman would extricate him from his dilemma voluntarily. “What is she thinking?”
“Forget it!”
Xu Changsheng never thought Qi Feiyu was such a stupid woman. He withdrew his sword and glared at Zhang Ruochen. “I’ll reveal your true colors sooner or later.”
He was not satisfied but he knew that he could not defeat Qi Feiyu and Lin Yue together. He would definitely be killed if he fought with them, so he had to leave right now.
Qi Feiyu turned to Zhang Ruochen and revealed a faint smile on her pretty face. “You can defeat Zhao Wuyan at your age; you’re really amazing. Furthermore, your cultivation in the Tao of the sword is beyond my expectation.”
Zhang Ruochen stopped and stared at her angelic face. “Do we need to be so courteous? Please speak plainly. ”
“Can we speak here? Half-Saint Patriarchs may be watching us. Let’s go to my place. I think we must talk.”
Qi Feiyu transmitted sound in a low voice and carried an air of shyness.
“I think we should go to my place instead. Who knows if you’ve set a trap for me?”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and clasped his hands behind his back. He went straight to Zixia Sacred Mountain and did not care if Qi Feiyu was able to keep up with him.
Qi Feiyu bit her lip with her snow-white teeth. She thought for a moment and finally decided to follow him.
She arrived at Zixia Sacred Mountain and entered Zhang Ruochen’s courtyard. They sat on the floor in a room.
A Jade Amulet appeared between her two snow-white fingers. She threw it in the air and it immediately turned into a white light screen that covered her and Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen appeared to be calm but he was secretly guarding against her.
She was currently superior to him in cultivation. If she took any surprise action, Zhang Ruochen would probably be seriously injured.
He had been killed by a woman once, and he did not want to experience it again.
“You’re highly gifted in the Tao of the sword and your disposition is far beyond that of normal people. If you’re willing to join the Qis, I promise that you will have a higher status than mine,” Qi Feiyu said directly.
Zhang Ruochen had practiced to the ninth realm of Sword One, and he possessed the Treasured Body of Three Spirits. Therefore, she tried even harder to recruit him to the Qis.
Such an amazing person would probably become the next sword saint as long as he remained alive.
The whole Zixia Sacred Mountain was very quiet. In the room, there was only a white light screen. It glowed faintly and was reflected on her face as smooth as wax.
Zhang Ruochen tapped his fingers softly on the table and said with a smile, “You’re an heiress of the Qis, so you’ll definitely be the leader of the Qis. How would you make it so that my status will be no lower than yours? Is there a status higher than the family leader?”
Qi Feiyu touched her hair softly and looked at Zhang Ruochen fixedly. She remained gentle and quiet. “Of course. If you are able to become a sword saint, you can be my husband.”
Perhaps any man would be too excited upon hearing this.
Zhang Ruochen raised his head calmly and stared at her exceedingly beautiful face. He said with a faint smile, “You’re so eager to recruit me. Do you really know me?”
“I don’t need to know who you were before. As long as you’re willing to pledge allegiance to the Qis, you will be one of us.” Qi Feiyu smiled faintly. Her appearance became more beautiful and charming as if his soul had become captivated.
He said, “You don’t want to know me but I do want to know you. I don’t believe that you’re merely the Heiress of the Qis. Do you have other identities?”
“That’s right. The Heiress of the Qis is indeed my public identity, but I can’t tell you the other identity just yet. When you agree to surrender to me, you’ll know whom you’ve sworn allegiance to,” Qi Feiyu said.
Zhang Ruochen stood up and opened the door. “You’re not sincere. If you want me to surrender to you, you should at least tell me your identity.”
“Have I not shown you my sincerity?”
Qi Feiyu stared at Zhang Ruochen with her beautiful eyes. She continued to say, “You need to know not everyone can be recruited. You have something unique. I really want to associate with you. You really won’t consider it?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “If you tell me your other identity, maybe I’ll think about it.”
Qi Feiyu shook her head and said, “You’ll get hurt due to your stubbornness. Honestly speaking, your disguise is not successful. Since Xu Changsheng has begun to suspect your identity, you may not be in the Yin and Yang Sect for long even if I don’t deal with you.”
A cold gaze flashed through her eyes. She stood up, opened the door, and went outside. “If I meet you in the sword contest, I’ll definitely kill you. Based on our “intimate relationship”, if I kill you on the Coliseum, nobody will believe that I did it deliberately.”
Zhang Ruochen looked at Qi Feiyu’s back. He did not take action after weighing the pros and cons. With his current cultivation, he might not be able to kill her in an instant, even if he displayed the Power of Time and Space.
If he could not kill Qi Feiyu in a single strike, he would expose the Power of Time and Space. By then, he could neither stay in the Yin and Yang Sect nor the entire Kunlun’s Field.
When she stepped out of the courtyard, Qi Feiyu met Mu Jiji and Xun Hualiu who had come from the sword contest.
Seeing Qi Feiyu walked out of the courtyard, they suddenly opened their eyes wide. To them, it was a bigger shock than seeing ghosts.
Qi Feiyu glanced at them faintly and then walked away. She disappeared into the darkness and left a charming fragrance.
“Do my eyes deceive me? It’s Senior Sister Apprentice Qi, right?”
Mu Jiji’s mind went empty. He could not process what had happened.
“Senior Sister Apprentice Qi came out of Lin Yue’s room late at night…”
“Has Lin Yue got pure and noble Senior Sister Apprentice Qi so quickly?”
“It’s absolutely Senior Sister Apprentice Qi. If the news spreads, perhaps a lot of her pursuers will drown themselves in the river tomorrow.”
Xun Hualiu had a cardiac twitch and could not believe his eyes.
Zhang Ruochen came out and said, “If you dare to talk nonsense, you’re not allowed to look for me.” Then, he said warningly, “You’d better keep away from Qi Feiyu in the future. Don’t blame me for not reminding you.”
Xun Hualiu immediately nodded. “My big brother, please rest assured. Senior Sister Apprentice Qi is your woman, so she is our sister-in-law. How can we have improper thoughts about her?”
Mu Jiji said unhappily, “Senior Sister Apprentice Qi’s cultivation is so profound. Even if we have an evil idea, we can’t approach her.”
Obviously, Xun Hualiu and Mu Jiji had misunderstood Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen refused to explain and instead asked them about the contest. He was informed that they had won and entered the next round.
Then, he asked Blackie to help them practice.
In the sword contest for the Eighth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm, the top 92 sword heroes had been decided today. The rest of the participants would compete for the remaining eight positions in the next two days.
In the end, the top 100 participants could enter the next round.
Zhang Ruochen was ready to break through to the Fifth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm in the next two days.
If he broke through, his strength would be improved a lot. By that time, even if he met Xu Changsheng, Zhao Wuyan, and Qi Feiyu, he would be able to confront them head-on.
Two days in the external world would be 20 days inside the Scroll World.
After entering the Scroll World, he did not immediately open up the second holy meridian. Instead, he adjusted his state until he was completely calm.
The Fifth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm was called “Yangyu Holy Meridian”.
Yangyu Holy Meridian extended from a monk’s brows to his right foot, crossing more than half of the body.
While opening up the second holy meridian, he did not meet any dangers. Everything seemed to be achieved effortlessly.
It took him only three days to successfully open up the Yangyu Holy Meridian and break through to the Fifth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm.
Zhang Ruochen felt full of power. His cultivation and strength were at least doubled.
If he met Zhao Wuyan again, he would definitely be able to go head-to-head with him and not be at a disadvantage.
He had just broken through, so now he was at the Initial Stage of the Fifth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm. There was still a lot of room to improve.
