Chapter 79: Teaching Du Yuxiang a Lesson

  Du Yuxiang saw him and bit her lip, suddenly feeling a little afraid, she shrank behind Chu Yixiu.

  Chu Yifeng wore a dark, mysterious robe with a slender figure, his features were as handsome as jade, under his sword-like eyebrows were a pair of bright and narrow phoenix eyes, his tall and slender physique was like a fierce sun that made everyone around him pale in comparison.

  His eyes were clearly smiling, looking handsome and elegant, with a hint of mischief that made people's faces flush and hearts skip a beat. Yet, the smile seemed to inspire inexplicable fear.

  She won't forget the reminders from her family before leaving the Du's house, among the emperor's sons, she can't be rude in front of the crown prince. The crown prince looks harmless and is very good at talking, but he is ruthless and decisive, even the emperor can't help but praise him, and he is also the only prince who has led troops to the battlefield and has been tempered in the flames of war!

  After the death of Empress Yao, her aunt, Noble Consort Xian, was the most favored in the harem for these ten years. She even had a son as excellent as her nephew, the Crown Prince. However, when it came to the Crown Prince... she didn't dare to be slightly neglectful. Whether it was a major or minor matter of the Chu State, as long as the Crown Prince spoke up, the Emperor would definitely pay great attention to it. The opinions raised by the Crown Prince were rarely refuted by the Emperor.

  Du Leng Ye's expression changed, he and his sister were in the mansion, heard that the third prince brought people to the outside of the East Palace, thought something happened, rushed over immediately. When they arrived, they coincidentally heard Qin Luo Yi say something about her having many lovers.

  Sister was so excited and happy that she couldn't help but run out, originally intending to severely scold this woman, but unexpectedly the prince brought people out.

  Seeing his sister's fear, he bowed to the prince and then pointed at Qin Luo angrily: "Your Highness, Princess Anping is about to get married, but she didn't keep her chastity before marriage..."

  "Cold night!" Chu Yixiu didn't wait for him to finish and scolded him with a dark face: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

  Du Lengye's eyes widened, and he quickly glanced at him, his heart sinking. His younger cousin didn't let him speak, could it be that he still had the intention of marrying this woman?

  Chu Yifeng also furrowed his brow, looking at him with a stern expression: "The Princess of Anping has lost her chastity, this is not something that can be spoken lightly, the crime of slandering the princess is not something you can bear!"

  "Your Highness, we didn't slander, just now Princess Anping herself admitted it!" Du Yutie stepped forward with a big heart and said, her eyes looking expectantly at her own cousin.

  Chu Yixiu pursed her lips and didn't speak, her icy gaze fixed on Chu Yifeng.

  Chu Yifeng burst out laughing, his eyes full of sarcastic meaning: "Admit it yourself? Is Princess Anping an idiot to admit such a thing?"

  "This..." Du Yu Die's eyes sparkled, she and her brother actually didn't know the truth of the matter, just now they had only heard Qin Luo Yi and her cousin's fragmented words.

  The truth of the matter is known only to my brother... Now that I think about it carefully, Qin Luo's words just now were clearly laced with a playful and teasing tone. Although last night, she and my brother saw her and Jian Yuyan heading up the mountain together, that can't prove anything.

  Chu Yifeng's gaze was as sharp as a knife as he looked at her, then turned to Qin Luoyi and Chu Yixiu, saying slowly and deliberately: "Third Imperial Brother, the matter of Anping Princess becoming a disciple... I heard that Father Emperor has already told you about it. Haven't you told them yet?"

  "His Imperial Highness has just returned to the capital, and I'm afraid there are some things he doesn't know yet... Tomorrow, Father Emperor plans to personally go see that senior from the Piaoyu Sect. Since Penglai Fairy Island is far away from the Sacred Dragon Continent, whether or not it's someone from the fairy island, one must see with their own eyes and confirm before feeling at ease." Chu Yixiu smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

  Becoming an apprentice?

  Penglai Fairy Island?

  The predecessor of the Piaoyou Sect?

  Du Leng Ye and Du Yu Die, the two siblings, stared at each other in dismay. The Princess of Anping had become a disciple... of some sect called Piaoyu, and even the Emperor himself had to go see her. What kind of place was Peng Lai Xian Island? And what kind of sect was Piaoyu that they would even accept a useless person like him as a disciple?

  "Oh, does the Emperor want to meet him in person? Well...” Chu Yifeng smiled slightly. The strength of Ge Changmen would likely surprise even his father. He turned his head and said to Qin Luoyi with a smile: "Princess, I happen to have some business at the Zhen Nan Wang Fu, Princess, if you're returning to the manor, why not travel with me?"

  Qin Luoyi thought for a moment and agreed with a smile, not refusing. Chu Yifeng and Chu Yixiu were both here, between the two brothers, she would rather face Chu Yifeng.

  Watching them leave shoulder to shoulder, Chu Yixiu's expression turned icy and pale, and only after a moment did he turn his sleeve and leave.

  The next day, the Emperor indeed did as Chu Yixiu said and went to Mingyue Pavilion in person.

  After staying in the Mingyue Pavilion for a short while, he left and returned to the palace. He immediately issued an imperial edict, announcing to the world that the marriage between Anping Princess Qin Luoyi and Third Prince Chu Yuxiu was cancelled.

  The entire capital was in an uproar.

  Before today, many people did not know about Penglai Fairy Island because even if someone had successfully entered the gate of Penglai in the past, it would not have been made so widely known.

  This time is different, Chu Yixiu is the son of the Emperor, Qin Luoyi is the daughter of the King of Southern Quelling, the marriage between the two has long been spread throughout the world, and it was a royal decree that gave them in marriage. If this matter is not made clear, but the wedding ceremony is suddenly cancelled, it will inevitably lead to rumors flying everywhere.

  After the imperial edict was issued, the front of Mingyue Pavilion became even more bustling with people and horses. The business inside the pavilion was booming, and although ordinary people knew that there was a powerful cultivator with strong spiritual power inside Mingyue Pavilion, they only dared to discuss it in secret. Those who had the guts to enter Mingyue Pavilion were all cultivators with good innate talents and spiritual energy.

  Because the Bright Moon Pavilion sells out of its ten top-grade seventh-tier elixirs every month, many powerful cultivators have been lingering in the capital. After this incident, even more well-informed cultivators brought their family's outstanding disciples to hurry towards Chu State's capital, submitting their visiting cards and requesting an audience with Ge Sect Leader.

  However, the door of Penglai Fairy Island is not that easy to see. Those who have been rejected can only wander around Mingyue Pavilion every day, waiting for an opportunity.

  Of course, Guang Huan and his friends were naturally embarrassed, from time to time they still had to take out some silver coins to buy some medicinal herbs, talismans, and other things, taking the opportunity to get closer to Jian Yuanyan and ask him to put in a good word for them in front of Ge Zhangmen, hoping to meet that senior.

  Jian Yu Yan was calm and composed on all sides, more than enough to deal with these people. However, Ge Zhang Men was extremely impatient and urged Qin Luo Yi to leave.

  Qin Luo Yi was reluctant to part with her clothes, originally there were still a few days left, it was her birthday, the 17th birthday, she had already promised Ge Zhang Men to stay at home and spend her birthday with her parents before leaving.

  However, as more and more people gathered in the capital, many of whom had ulterior motives - wanting their family's disciples to join the Xuan Mi Sect. The Ming Yue Pavilion was already overcrowded, so they had no choice but to agree. Nevertheless, before leaving, she couldn't help but teach a lesson to Du Leng Ye and his sister, as her heart still felt unwell thinking about how those two siblings had once tried to take her life. If not for the talismans in her hands, where would she be now?

  The master had already moved out of the Bright Moon Pavilion due to his dislike of the hustle and bustle, and was now living in a mansion on the outskirts of town belonging to the Jian family.

  Du Leng Ye, Du Leng Mo, and Du Yu Die, the three siblings, also came to Ming Yue Pavilion every day, along with some elderly relatives. Even the master of Shenyi Valley, Gu Zhong, had arrived, accompanied by his daughter, Shangguan Qiuyu.

  Unfortunately, after waiting for several days in a row, no one inside was able to see Ge Zhangmen successfully, and everyone became disheartened and anxious.

  Those elders are fine, even if they're anxious in their hearts, they won't say much with their mouths, but young people can't help but get impatient.

  To know that those who can be brought here by their elders are the elites of the family, the proud sons of heaven, and people who are used to being flattered and catered to every day, where have they ever been treated with such neglect?

  Among the words, there are many complaints, and even openly saying that Qin Luoyi is a waste, obviously unable to cultivate. However, Ge Zhangmen of Penglai Xian Island took her in as his disciple. With their qualifications, if they were to join Penglai Sect, their achievements would definitely not be comparable to that waste...

  These words were picked up by Xiong Sha and others and passed into Ge Zhangmen's ears. Ge Zhangmen was furious, he was originally a protective person, how could he tolerate a group of self-righteous bastards talking about his own disciple like that? He directly brought Qin Luoyi to kill him at Mingyue Pavilion.

  As soon as he appeared, the overwhelming aura emanating from his body stunned the young people in the Mingyue Pavilion who were engaged in heated discussions, rendering them speechless and terrified.

  Without showing any courtesy, the elder and clan leader of each family stepped forward to pay their respects. His piercing gaze swept across the hall as he coldly opened his mouth: "Who was it that just said my disciple is a waste?"

  Everyone looked at each other in dismay, but no one dared to come out and admit it. Ge Zhangmen suddenly smiled: "Actually, I know why you're all here... Alright, let's have your disciples compete with this 'useless' disciple of mine. If they can win against her, I'll make an exception and take him into the Piaomiao Sect."

  Qin Luoyi blinked and looked at her master with a feigned shocked expression, as if she hadn't expected her master to suddenly say something like that.

  The people in the hall were moved, their excited faces turned red, and their eyes shone with an unusual light, gazing at Qin Luoyi.

  Du Yucui suddenly stepped forward and said to Ge Zhongmen, "Senior, Anping Junzhu is your disciple. If she gets hurt during the trial, it wouldn't be good!"

  Others also nodded in agreement.

  They had long seen that Qin Luoyi's body did not have spiritual power, and it was only a matter of snapping their fingers to defeat her.

  She is now the gatekeeper of the Piaoyou Sect and the daughter of the King of Zhen Nan, so it's not just that they can't afford to offend the Piaoyou Sect, but also the King of Zhen Nan. If they were to hurt Qin Luoyi during a trial, they might not be able to end things on good terms.

  Ge Zhangmen looked deeply at Du Yulian, earlier when he entered the door, this little girl said his apprentice was a waste, and spoke the loudest!

  "It doesn't matter, when trying out, who hasn't been injured. You're the same, wanting to join the Piaomiao Sect and challenge my gatekeeper disciple, you must also be prepared to get hurt. Alright, for this trial, both parties will first sign a life-and-death contract, then proceed with the trial. If either party gets injured or killed, there can be no complaints."

  While they were talking, he had already asked Jian Yuyan to prepare several life and death agreements.

  "Who wants to come up and compare?"

  Du Yucui's face was flushed with excitement, and she was the first to walk out. Her second brother, Du Lengmo, held her back: "Sister, wait a minute!" He always felt that Ge Zhangmen's attitude was a bit too strange.

  Du Leng Ye smiled and said, "Second Brother, let Sister go. That woman doesn't have any spiritual energy inside her. If Sister doesn't go now, later on if she gets slapped to death by someone, won't Sister lose the opportunity?"

  Du Yu's butterfly attached and nodded, her eyes full of smiles, for her, this was a great opportunity to teach Qin Luo Yi a lesson.

  Du Lengmo shook his head, holding onto his sister's hand, and said: "You weren't thinking of marrying your cousin, were you? How come now you've changed your mind and want to join the ranks of Penglai instead?"

  "This..." Du Yutiao hesitated.

  Although they spoke in a very low voice, with Ge Zhangmen's cultivation, how could he not hear what they were saying? A hint of cold smile flashed across his eyes.

  An elder of the Du family stroked his goat beard, carefully sizing up Qin Luoyi before smiling and saying, "Don't worry, Cold Ink, let Yu Die go. Even if that girl has some heaven-defying abilities, she's only just joined Penglai and wasn't even at the middle stage of Body Tempering before... And Yu Die happened to have a few lucky breaks the other day and took a spiritual medicine, breaking through to Martial Master already. She can take care of herself completely without issue."

  "But, brother-in-law..." Du Yu Die still hesitated. She really liked her brother-in-law and wanted to be his wife.

  The goat-bearded man laughed and shook his head: "You silly girl, why can't you turn your brain around? Joining Penglai is no different from marrying the Third Prince. If you really join Penglai, as long as you're willing, I'm not afraid that the Third Prince won't marry you. The Emperor's disapproval of your marriage is nothing to worry about."

  Du Yucui thought for a moment and finally understood. With a joyful smile, she went forward, picked up a life-and-death contract, and signed her name on it.

  Qin Luo Yi watched her movements, and a hint of smile also flashed quickly in his eyes.

  With Du Yucui in the lead, others didn't rush anymore and prepared to observe for a while before making their move.

  Qin Luo's greatest desire was to teach a lesson to the Du siblings, and now Du Yuxiang had indeed jumped out as she had expected. As for the others, she didn't care about them anymore. Although it wasn't Du Lengye, teaching Du Yuxiang a lesson first would be just as good.

  In the Bright Moon Pavilion there were many precious elixirs and talismans, so naturally it wasn't possible to hold the trial there. The crowd of people went to the foot of Moon Mist Mountain on the outskirts of the capital city.

  A large crowd of people poured out of the city, and many people in the capital heard that it was a martial arts competition between Anping Jun and others, so they were very curious and followed them out. Later, even the emperor was shocked and came to Mount Yufeng in disguise.

  The elder of the Du family, although he had carefully seen that Qin Luoyi's body did not have any spiritual power, did not take it lightly and kept glancing at her along the way.

  Seeing Jian Yuyan walking together all the way, suddenly remembered that there were not a few talismans in Jian Yuyan's Mingyue Pavilion. Ge Zhangmen had come to Shenglong Continent before and had been living in Mingyue Pavilion... Could it be that Qin Luoyi relied on the talisman?

  Thinking of this, his heart tightened, before starting, he respectfully stepped forward and saluted Ge Zhangmen, then said: "Senior, today's trial, is it just a trial of cultivation or can we use talismans or other magical tools to assist?"

  The surrounding monks' eyes all focused over at once, and the question asked by the goat-bearded monk was also what they were concerned about.

  Ge Zhangmen has already accepted Anping Jun as a disciple, and must have given her some powerful magical tools, so she is so fearless. The talismans in the Mingyue Pavilion are even more powerful, having one six-grade talisman is like having an extra life-saving charm. Qin Luoyi relied on the talismans to escape Zhu Meimiao's mother-daughter plot in the back mountain of Xiangguo Temple, many people have heard about this.

  Ge Zhangmen furrowed his brow, glanced at the goat-bearded man, and after a long while hummed a displeased tone: "Naturally, it's to test one's own cultivation... talismans and magical tools, you really think that with these things, you can enter the Piaomiao Sect?" Looking at him with eyes full of ridicule.

  The goat beard was red-faced and ear-red, repeatedly responding with "yes", then retreated. In his heart, he thought, he didn't want the people in the family to win by relying on this... What he feared was Qin Luo's reliance on this to win! Saying it out loud was just a precaution, but it couldn't be used as the best option; if it could be used, they would have to prepare more for Butterfly.

  "Stop dawdling and let's get started!" Ge Zhangmen waved his hand, gesturing for Du Yuxiang and Qin Luoyi to quickly take their positions in the arena.

  "County master, Yu Die also wants to join Penglai, today can only offend!" Yu Die stood on the empty ground, wearing a pink dress, with an apologetic expression on her delicate face.

  "It doesn't matter, Penglai is a place where all of us who cultivate the truth want to go. Since my master said that whoever defeats me can join the Xiao Yu Sect, Miss Du wants to go, so be it." Qin Luo Yi said lightly, with an unmistakable hint of mockery in her phoenix-like eyes.

  This poisonous butterfly really wants to go to Penglai, but what she probably wants to do even more is take this opportunity to kill herself! However, her calculations are likely to be wrong, and after a trial, it's hard to say who will kill whom!

  In the distance, Chu Yang, the Emperor of Great Chu, who had come out in casual attire, looked at Qin Luoyi, who was standing alone on the empty ground, wearing a white dress that made her look extremely elegant and beautiful. He raised an eyebrow, and his dark eyes were filled with confusion.

  By his side stood the enigmatic Crown Prince Chu Yifeng and Third Imperial Prince Chu Yixiu, as well as Qin Luoyi's father... Duke of Southern Jing Qin Lingyun.

  Compared with Emperor Chu Yang and Third Prince Chuyi Xiu's astonishment, King Zhen Nan and the Crown Prince were much calmer.

  Chu Yang glanced at Zhen Nan Wang and smiled: "My dear, in today's competition, who do you think has the upper hand?"

  The King of Zhen Nan smiled slightly: "Of course it's my daughter." With a confident face, not a hint of worry.

  The emperor was even more surprised. Chu Yixiu's heart moved slightly, and he also turned his head to look at him.

  "How can this be? The Princess of Anping has not been able to cultivate... She joined the Xiao Sect just a few days ago, and Du Yuxiang is a young cultivation genius of the Du family. I'm afraid the Princess of Anping will be at a disadvantage!"

  King Zhen Nan looked at Qin Luo Yi in front of him and smiled confidently: "Your Majesty, who wins or loses, you will see in a moment."

  The emperor's eyes flickered with uncertainty, and he was left to turn his head and continue staring blankly into space as the King of Southern Quan remained tight-lipped.

  Du Yucui had already drawn out a long sword, its body transparent and thin as a cicada's wing, sharp beyond compare. At a glance, it was clear that this was no ordinary object. A stream of spiritual energy poured into it, and the sword shone with dazzling light in the sunlight.

  Qin Luo Yi stood there calmly, her bright and beautiful face unusually calm, her snow-white dress fluttering in the wind, giving her a somewhat ethereal and carefree air.

  "Anping Junzhu, where is your sword?" Du Yutie looked at her empty hands and frowned, with a look of displeasure. That damned Qin Luoyi, what did she mean? At this time, she still wanted to delay and not make it happen.

  Qin Luo Yi smiled slightly, and the sparkling color in his dark phoenix eyes flashed by, saying lightly: "Compared to you, I don't need a sword!"

  "You!" Du Yutiao's face turned red with anger, her delicate and pretty face changing color in an instant. She then slightly raised her chin and said, "In that case, I won't be polite."

  With a swift movement, the long sword infused with spiritual energy shot towards her like lightning.

  Qin's eyes flashed with a faint light, and a cold smile floated on her red lips. Before she could approach, her slender hand lifted, and a powerful spiritual force directly struck Du Yuxiang.

  Bang!

  Spiritual power and long sword collided together, Qin Luo's spiritual power was obviously stronger, Du Yuzhe couldn't withstand the force and retreated two steps with a thud. When she finally stabilized her body and stopped, her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Qin Luo.

  How is it possible?

  Although she didn't use her full strength just now and only used 50% of it... but why did Qin Luoyi not only fail to kill herself, but instead retreated a few steps?

  It's been only a few days since becoming an apprentice, Qin Luo has actually cultivated spiritual power and even blocked his own attack. How is this possible?

  Gritting his teeth, he dared not to be careless again. He activated his heart method and mobilized all the spiritual power in his body, pouring it into the sword. The dazzling light flashed, and once again, he launched a full-force attack on Qin Luo's vital spot.

  Qin Luo Yi blinked her phoenix eyes, and naturally did not neglect the murderous intent in her eyes. However, on her pretty face, there was still no trace of fear, with a calm and serene expression. It wasn't until her attack was about to land on his body that she suddenly raised her hand amidst the shocked cries of the surrounding crowd.

  "Ah!"

  Du Yucui's body was like a kite with a broken string, screaming as it flew far away, flying out for nearly ten meters before heavily falling to the ground, and a stream of blood spurted out.

  "Sister!"

  "Butterfly!"

  Du Leng Ye and Du Leng Mo, the two brothers, rushed up hastily and hugged their sister who was spitting out blood. Meanwhile, Shan Yang Hu Zi's face turned pale as he took out a healing pill and let Du Leng Mo feed it to Du Yu Die.
