After leaving the temple gate, Wei Luoyue walked with a more and more cheerful heart. Although Jinling Gongzi might be teasing her, once she had truly shown her hand, he would only need to wave his hand to kill her. She had still managed to escape this calamity!

  At this time, the entire Jinling Mansion was shocked, countless torches were lit up, and the lanterns swayed in the wind as the high-ranking guests rushed to arrive.

  Everywhere were swordsmen, when Wei Luo came out of the shaded path, the entire courtyard was already bustling with noise, exceptionally lively, and discussions filled the air. The palace gate where Wei Luo had come out from had long been closed, and the numerous swordsmen and food guests could not easily get close, so they also couldn't figure out how severe the injury of the Jinling young master was.

  Wei Luo curiously looked around for a while, but didn't see Jing Ling come out. He had clearly said they would discuss matters in the study, yet he still hadn't gone? Just as she was thinking this, the steward came out to order the swordsmen to retreat and the guests to return to their respective places, waiting for news.

  Stepping on the moon that had already begun to slant westward, Wei Luo returned to the side hall. Taking advantage of everyone's attention having shifted elsewhere, and the quietness of the servants' washing area, Wei Luo quietly took a bath, quickly changed into comfortable clothes, and returned to her room where she couldn't sleep for a long time.

  Everyone in the team had an accident, and it's only been four days so far, but Wei Luo felt like she had passed a century. In these four days, her mood had ups and downs, and her life was hanging by a thread several times. Alas, survival in this world is really not easy, if one can really become a swordmaster, that would be great.

  Thinking of the sword, she couldn't help but recall that one move from earlier in the palace. At that moment, the trajectory of her opponent's sword was so clear and slow, and vaguely, she even had a feeling that everything was under control.

  She thought and thought, then stood up. At this time, several other maids were still waiting by the side of Prince Jingling. The entire side hall was empty except for her.

  She gazed up at a string of pearl curtains, slowly inhaling and exhaling, her eyes fixed intently on one tiny red pearl. As she stared, the wooden sword in her hand sprang out, flashing towards the pearl like lightning.

  The wooden sword flashed out, and the pearl curtain moved slightly. The sword came out of its scabbard with a "ding" sound, and then quickly returned to its original position. When he looked up again, that pearl suddenly burst into powder and fell to the ground with a "hiss". The other pearls remained intact.

  Wei Luo lowered his head and looked at the wooden sword in his hand, thinking happily: I've really made progress! Just now when I fought with that assassin, I improved so much! It's great!

  The swordsmen in this world are divided into three levels: Sword Guest, Sword Master, and Grandmaster. Each level is further divided into lower, middle, and higher levels. The full-strength blow that Wei Luo just blocked was from a high-level Sword Master. However, Wei Luo himself doesn't know what level he's at; if anything, he can barely be considered a mid-tier Sword Guest.

  She slightly pursed her lips, almond eyes smiled like a crescent moon. Joy beyond measure.

  For a moment, all the grievances and discomforts had disappeared, and all the worries and helplessness had faded away. The pressure that had been accumulating in her heart for these few days, which had almost made her collapse, suddenly dissipated by more than half, and she felt that everything was no longer important!

  Wei Luo was happily staring at the wooden sword in his hand, thinking: As long as I work hard, one day I can rely on my swordsmanship to travel freely in this chaotic world. At that time, I will become a free swordsman, even if I have to sleep under the wind and dew, it's good to have freedom.

  That night, Wei Luo practiced her sword with unrelenting enthusiasm. In the quietness of her breathing, only faint whispers of wind and the sound of her sword slicing through the air could be heard from the side hall. If it were any other swordsman practicing in this room where echoes easily occurred, they would have caused a huge commotion by now. But Wei Luo was somehow able to control the airflow around her sword from the very beginning, allowing her energy to condense without dispersing wildly. As a result, she practiced with utmost quietness, making it seem like child's play to outsiders, devoid of any real power.

  She had been practicing for nearly two hours when she heard footsteps coming from outside. It seemed that the young master of Jingling and those few maidservants had returned.

  Weilo didn't want to face Jingling Gongzi anymore, so she quickly put away her wooden sword and snuggled into bed, pretending to sleep.

  She fell asleep unknowingly.

  The next day, Wei Luo woke up early again and went out after washing up. She was now standing in a small garden outside the courtyard, practicing her sword while waiting for people to come and go inside.

  Wei Luo was waiting for someone, she had to wait until the Duke of Jing Ling remembered her, it was difficult for her before waiting for this person, this person was the princess she saw that day, the younger sister of the Duke of Jing Ling. She is now living in the mansion.

  That day, the princess also touched and felt herself, perhaps she was also suspicious that she had changed her appearance. In front of Jingling, this princess was extremely arrogant, obviously he was the one who spoiled her. The purpose of Weiluo's trip was to ask the princess to take him in and become her person, even if it was a concubine or a horse servant.

  However, Wei Luo waited for half a time, and the passing maids and swordsmen glanced at her sideways, but she didn't see the princess come out. And when she plucked up the courage to enter the princess's courtyard, she heard that the princess had been staying in the palace for the past two days.

  It's getting late, she can't dawdle anymore. As a personal attendant, she has to present herself in front of the Duke of Jingling now.

  Weiruo bit his lip and pondered another way to escape.

  When she returned to the main courtyard, however, she heard that the Jin Duke was enraged by the assassination of the Prince of Queling and had summoned him to the palace.

  Unable to see Jingling Gongzi, Wei Luo was extremely happy. She hid in the tree cluster behind the main courtyard and started practicing with her wooden sword again.

  Weilo practiced with her wooden sword, occasionally having maidservants point and giggle at her. Last night she unleashed her divine power, but the news hasn't leaked out yet.

  In the midst of Weiluo's tension, time passed day by day, and every encounter with Jingling Gongzi was a brief meeting. The assassination matter became more and more chaotic, first came the news that Qin Taizi Yingyin was escorted back by the Jin army, then came the news that the Marquis of Jin had already issued accusations to the Marquis of Qin.

  Then Wei Lao heard that Gongzi Jingling was going to avenge himself by leading all his 100,000 armored soldiers to attack the Qin people.

  At this time, the expedition had many complicated procedures. Not only did he have to bathe and change clothes to ask for divine guidance, but also prepare food and grass. Usually, after all preparations were made, it would be half a year or a year later. However, unexpectedly, the Prince of Jingling only asked for divine guidance and then announced to the world that one month later, he would lead the army on an expedition!

  It seems he is really angry! He was so eager that he didn't make sufficient preparations and didn't even plan to wait for the Qin people to send an envoy with gifts of silk and jade to apologize.

  A month later, he set out on an expedition.

  Wei Luo was overjoyed, her heart bursting with happiness. She smiled all day, her eyes shining brightly. She knew that she was finally safe now! The expedition was a huge undertaking, with many complicated and troublesome details to attend to. For this entire month, the Prince of Jingling would be busy day and night, exhausting himself. Once he got busy, he wouldn't even have time to think about himself.

  Soon, Wei Luo will grow up into a big girl. At that time, the story will enter another stage.
