"Mu!"
Without any explanation, Tang Xiaoxi pounced into Lin Muyu's embrace.
It was originally a pleasure to have two soft mounds pressed against her chest, but it was also a wound there. Lin Muyu immediately groaned, and her face started to turn pale.
"Ah, are you alright? Mu … "
Looking at the sword wound on Lin Muyu's chest, Tang Xiaoxi, the beautiful princess, was instantly enraged. She turned around and looked coldly at Ou Yangqiu. "Who is this Instructor Jin Xing?"
Beside her, Chief Deacon Lei Hong said respectfully, "Reporting to Princess, his name is Ou Yangqiu."
Ou Yangqiu also recognized this beautiful girl as the legendary Duke of Cang Lan's only granddaughter. He hurriedly struggled to get up despite his injuries and knelt on the ground. "This lowly one greets Princess Xi!"
"Hua …"
A string of flames encircled Princess Xi's snow-white fingers. She suddenly appeared in front of Ouyang Qiu in a flash, raised her five fingers, and slapped Ouyang Qiu's face. Ouyang Qiu was sent flying from his original spot and fell to the ground. There was a burning five-fingered mark on his face. Tang Xiaoxi's attack was enhanced by her martial soul, so he could be considered to have a good cultivation base since he didn't faint immediately.
Lei Hong was instantly petrified. "Princess, why did you beat up Instructor Jin Xing?"
Tang Xiaoxi helped Lin Muyu up and said coldly, "Because he bullied my people!"
The other deacon at the side was Zhen Fang. Zhen Fang refuted, "Princess, it's obvious that Ouyang Qiu's injuries are more serious. As a sparring partner, Lin Zhi actually injured an instructor. This has already violated the rules of the Sacred Sanctum. He should be expelled from the Sacred Sanctum immediately!"
Tang Xiaoxi turned around and said word by word, "Lin Zhi belongs to me, Tang Xiaoxi. Young Duke Zhen Fang, I dare you to say that again!"
Zhen Fang stammered for a moment, but was actually unable to say anything else.
Although Zeng Fang was the only son of Divine Marquis Zeng Yifan, Zeng Yifan did not have any military power during non-war times. On the other hand, Tang Xiaoxi's backer was her grandfather, Tang Lan, who held hundreds of thousands of military power in Seven Seas City. There was a world of difference in status and real power between the two.
…
"Mu, are you okay?" Tang Xiaoxi put away the coldness on her face and revealed a smile that a young girl should have. She looked at Lin Muyu who was leaning against her and asked.
Lin Muyu was overwhelmed by a myriad of emotions. After parting ways at Cathaya City, he knew that Tang Xiaoxi wouldn't care about him at all due to the disparity in status between him and her. Unfortunately, he was wrong. Happiness had come too suddenly. It turned out that Tang Xiaoxi cared about his safety this much. So, he put on a show. "Xiao Xi, I went to the Dragon Seeking Forest to look for you two days ago, but I couldn't find you …"
Tang Xiaoxi burst into laughter. "Silly Mu, the Dragon Seeking Forest is so big. How did you find me? Fortunately, I found you now. How is it? I'm still better than you, right? "
Lin Muyu couldn't help but laugh. "Mm, Princess Xi is the best in the world in both literature and martial arts!"
Tang Xiaoxi was very happy to be coaxed. "Mm, that's more like it."
As she spoke, she turned around and pointed a finger at Ouyang Qiu. "Even though Lin Zhi is only a sparring partner, you better remember that Lin Zhi is a distinguished guest of our Duke of Seven Seas' Estate. No one is allowed to harm him, or it would be equivalent to going against Seven Seas City."
Turning to look at Lei Hong, Tang Xiaoxi revealed a beautiful smile that refreshed the heart. "Grandpa Lei Hong, why didn't you restrain your Instructor Jin Xing? Look, the sparring partner was almost beaten to death. With such heavy injuries, he was clearly trying to kill someone!"
Lei Hong hurriedly cupped his fists. "Princess, you are right. I will do my best to supervise this matter in the future."
Zhen Fang gritted his teeth. "Great Deacon, we have our own rules. There's no need to compromise for the sake of a mere Seven Seas City, right?"
Tang Xiaoxi's face turned cold.
At this moment, a person walked out from the group of Royal Guards behind her. It was Feng Jixing. Feng Jixing held his saber and sneered. "Young Duke, I know that Ouyang Qiu is your swordsmanship teacher. If he wants to kill Lin Zhi, you can't get away with it, right?"
Zhen Fang was stunned. "General Feng, why are you here?"
"It's not just me."
Feng Jixing stepped aside. Chu Huaiyin, who had not appeared for a long time, had a lazy smile on his face. He held a heavy sword and smiled. "Young Duke, we are all friends of Lin Zhi. If he has offended you in any way, please forgive him. Just treat it as giving us face!"
"Chu Huaiyin?!"
Zeng Fang gritted his teeth and said, "Princess Xi is so ostentatious. She actually called the commander of the Imperial Guards and Chu Huaiyin of the Imperial Guards over. One is a white-robed Imperial Guard, and the other is a Imperial Guard. Hmph, this is clearly making me speechless, right? However, don't forget that the laws of the Empire are strict. Those who break the law will never have a good ending. You guys better behave yourselves! "
"There's no need for you to worry."
Tang Xiaoxi said indifferently. "I will naturally resolve my friend's matter. However, Young Duke, you should know your limits in the future. No matter what happens, as long as something happens to Lin Zhi, Tang Xiaoxi will not let it go."
"Hmph …"
Zhen Fang flicked his sleeves and left. Ouyang Qiu stood up resentfully, wiped the blood from his mouth, and followed.
…
Seeing them leave, Chu Huaiyin walked forward and patted Lin Muyu's shoulder. He laughed and said, "Yu, you're really not bad. You were actually able to surpass your realm and defeat a Heavenly State expert like Ouyang Qiu!"
Lin Muyu couldn't say anything. He was almost killed. How could he talk about such an embarrassing thing? He could only say, "Sigh, I was just lucky. Otherwise, I would have been beaten up by him."
Lei Hong walked forward. "Yu, how are your injuries?"
Lin Muyu shook his head. "I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, Grandpa Lei Hong."
Lei Hong nodded. Then, he said to the group of instructors and sparring partners, "Alright, it's fine now. You guys can carry on with your own cultivation. Don't mess up."
The crowd dispersed. However, one thing was certain. Everyone saw that Gold Star Instructor Ouyang Qiu was defeated by Lin Muyu. As the number one swordsman of the Holy Temple, Ouyang Qiu was definitely going to be humiliated!
…
Tang Xiaoxi and Lin Muyu were reunited after a long time. There were many things that they wanted to say, but they didn't know what to say when they actually met. The courageous and decisive Princess Xi stood at the side, blushing. She looked at Lin Muyu speechlessly.
Lin Muyu looked at her adorable expression and couldn't help but laugh. "Xiao Xi, your face is as red as the sunset …"
Tang Xiaoxi became even more embarrassed. She waved her fist and punched him. "You're still talking? I thought you were dead …"
"How could that be? I'm so lucky!"
Feng Jixing couldn't be bothered to listen to the two of them flirt with each other. He cupped his fists and said, "The matter has been resolved. Princess, I should return to Ze Tian Palace Hall. His Highness has already gone back. I can't stay outside for too long."
"Mm, thank you, Brother Feng!" Lin Muyu said.
Chu Huaiyin also said his goodbyes. Lin Muyu and Tang Xiaoxi sent them out of the Divine Hall.
…
Tang Xiaoxi sent back a group of cavalry guards. She only brought a few people with her because she wanted to accompany Lin Muyu to have a good look around the capital. At night, they settled at the famous restaurant in the capital — Tingyu Restaurant. There were only the two of them. They ordered some rice wine and a table full of sumptuous dishes. This meal was treated by Tang Xiaoxi. Princess Xi didn't care about money at all.
Lin Muyu had been starving in the Dragon Seeking Forest for a few days, so naturally, he would eat like a tornado. Tang Xiaoxi, on the other hand, had already eaten her fill at noon. She smiled as she watched him gobble down the food.
Finally, when her stomach was almost full, Lin Muyu burped in satisfaction. She smiled and said, "The food that others treat is really fragrant …"
Tang Xiaoxi covered her mouth and smiled, "Idiot! Oh right … I have good news for you. I received a letter from Yu Shu at noon. Tomorrow at the latest, Qu will return to Lanyan City. "
"Oh, Teacher Qu Chu is back?"
"Mm." Tang Xiaoxi nodded and said, "When I see him, I will naturally let him go to the Divine Hall to see you. He will also teach you some martial arts. Sigh … Mu, although your advancement speed is very fast, you are still not strong enough. The Divine Hall is a place where people will swallow you whole. Without enough strength, you can only be trampled on."
Lin Muyu felt the same way, "Mm, I have already experienced it."
Tang Xiaoxi tilted her head and looked at her with a smile, "Mu, can I go to the Divine Hall to see you often?"
"Sure, but … don't make such a big commotion again." Lin Muyu scratched her head and said helplessly, "Now I am afraid I am already a famous person in the Divine Hall …"
Tang Xiaoxi covered her mouth and laughed, "Big idiot, the more famous you are, the more those people will not dare to touch you. If you are just a nameless brat, humph, with Zhenfang's nature, I am afraid he would have killed you quietly."
"That's true."
Lin Muyu looked at her own fist. After circulating her energy, her skin was covered with energy and smiled, "It is still the fist that is hard, otherwise it is useless to say anything."
"Mm!"
… …
In the evening, after watching the lanterns for a while, she sent Tang Xiaoxi back to the residence. It was only until she saw these beauties enter the Duke's residence that Lin Muyu returned to the Divine Hall and continued to cultivate!
Late at night, under the bright moon, she continued to refine her skin.
But the effect of the night was not very good. It seemed that the refining of the skin had reached its limit and the skin could not absorb any more spiritual energy. If she continued to forcefully cultivate, it would only be harmful.
Far away, under the moonlight, there were two old men standing, one was Lei Hong and the other was Ge Yang. The two of them were discussing.
While they were chatting, the sound of wind suddenly swept past. Ge Yang asked, "What happened?"
Lei Hong stroked his beard and smiled, "Qu Chu, if you are here, then come out. Why do you need to be so sneaky?"
In the small forest, Qu Chu slowly walked out and laughed, "Lei Hong, you old man is really sharp. How is it, my student's talent is not bad, right?"
"His talent is not bad, but it has not improved." Lei Hong's eyes shone brightly.
"It has not improved? What happened? "Qu Chu asked.
"When he entered the Divine Hall, he was a Battle-Saint, and now he is still a Battle-Saint. What has increased is his combat experience, but his strength has not improved. His bone structure … has already restricted his growth, just like many second rate cultivators who have been stuck at a certain level for their entire lives." Lei Hong's expression was a little regretful.
Qu Chu's expression turned cold, then he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I am prepared."
"Oh?" Lei Hong's eyes were filled with a trace of astonishment.
…
With a leap, Qu Chu landed not far away from Lin Muyu. He chuckled and said, "Lin Muyu, long time no see. Look what I have brought for you!"
"Swoosh!"
An item wrapped in black cloth flew through the air. Lin Muyu looked at Qu Chu in surprise and smiled, "Qu, you are here?"
"Let's look at the gift first!" Qu Chu smiled faintly.
Lin Muyu lowered her head and opened the cloth, only to find that there was a half-rotten book inside. Even the words on the book were not clear. The bamboo slips had rotted into a pile. It was obvious that Qu Chu had re-bound the book. The first part of the book had a few clear words – Forging Dragon Bones.
"Forging Dragon Bones?" He was at a loss.
Qu Chu smiled faintly and said, "Strictly speaking, it is the Forging Dragon Bones Remnant Scroll. Currently, I can only find so much of it. You should make do with it!"
