Just as Xuan Qing's thoughts were running wild and he was in a difficult position, a voice helped him out.
" Brother Xuanqing, you're here. Where have you been these past two days? I didn't see you at Martial Uncle Liu's residence," a cute girl, Yi Lin, walked over with a face full of joy, her eyes wide open as she asked.
" Hehe, it's Yilin. I've been busy these few days. You've been following your master for the past two days. You haven't run around, have you?" Xuan Qing looked at Yilin with a smile.
Upon hearing Xuan Qing's words, Yi Lin thought of the matter of her getting lost. Her face was already thin, and she immediately blushed.
" Brother Xuanqing is laughing at me again." She lowered her head and ignored Xuanqing.
" Of course not. Brother Xuanqing was afraid that you would get lost again." Xuan Qing continued to tease him." Come, let me introduce you. These two are Ximen Jiansheng and Ximen Xiaoxue from the Ximen family."
" Hello," Yilin said cutely.
" Hehe, greetings, young master." Ximen Jiansheng was still as polite as ever.
"Humph!" Ximen Xiaoxue snorted and ignored Yi Lin. It was because he saw that Xuan Qing and Yi Lin had a close relationship and was unhappy.
Seeing Ximen Xiaoxue ignoring her, Yi Lin was at a loss. She stared blankly at Xuan Qing. At this time, Xuan Qing did not dare to offend Ximen Xiaoxue. She could not help but smile bitterly. What was going on recently? Why were girls more difficult to deal with than the last?
Fortunately, someone came to help Xuan Qing out. It was Nun Dingyi who came over with a few disciples to thank Xuan Qing for saving Yi Lin a few days ago.
" Thank you for saving my disciple a few days ago." Ding Yi expressed his gratitude to Xuan Qing.
" Hehe, you're welcome. We're both martial arts practitioners, so it's only right for us to help each other." Xuan Qing was much more polite to Nun Dingyi than Yue Buqun. It was because she appreciated Dingyi's character in the original novel from her previous life. In addition to her relationship with Yilin, it could be said that she loved him.
After another round of pleasantries, Dingyi led Yilin away. Before the cute little nun left, she even turned around to look at Xuanqing a few times, which made Ximen Xiaoxue even more unhappy. However, he had no relationship with Xuanqing, so he couldn't say anything to Xuanqing.
Ximen Xiaoxue sulked and ignored Xuan Qing. Xuan Qing could only chat with Ximen Jiansheng. The atmosphere was quite awkward.
Fortunately, not long after, an unexpected voice sounded, and the noisy people in the hall quieted down.
" The imperial edict has arrived. Liu Zhengfeng will receive it." A eunuch came in with a group of soldiers.
Hearing this, the people in the martial world were very surprised and started discussing. Some people cursed Liu Zhengfeng for being a lackey of the imperial court, some people did not comment, and some people had mocking expressions. Few people supported Liu Zhengfeng's official position.
In fact, the imperial court had recruited quite a number of people from the martial world. However, they were either unaffiliated people, outer sect disciples of some large sects, or people from some martial arts aristocratic families. For someone like Liu Zhengfeng, who came from a large sect and was even a pillar of the sect, to be recruited by the imperial court was not unprecedented, but it was at least rare.
What followed was naturally the process of receiving the imperial edict. However, before the eunuch left, he left behind more than 20 soldiers and a Xiantian primary stage expert. He said that he was to escort Liu Zhengfeng all the way to his appointment.
Xuan Qing was deep in thought. Was this borrowing the power of the imperial court? That's true. If the imperial court intervened, the Mount Song Sect would never blatantly kill Liu Zhengfeng's family. Otherwise, even if the Mount Song Sect had connections with the imperial court, it would not be worth it. In this day and age, the Brocade Guards of the East and West Chambers were still very intimidating. To blatantly kill the entire family of an official of the imperial court was to slap the imperial court in the face, and they would have to pay the price.
Then, just like in the original novel, Liu Zhengfeng broke a long sword and prepared to wash his hands of the past. At this time, Xuan Qing noticed that the people of Mount Song Sect were already lying in ambush in the surroundings.
As expected, just as Liu Zhengfeng was about to wash his hands in the golden basin, a hidden weapon struck him. If nothing unexpected happened, the hidden weapon would have knocked over the golden basin. Unfortunately, Liu Zhengfeng, who had been prepared, adjusted his mentality. He was the acting leader of a large sect and an experienced Jianghu man. He had a plan and was not affected by a hidden weapon. A young man behind Liu Zhengfeng instantly drew his sword and cut the hidden weapon to the ground.
When the voice of the Mount Song disciple came and asked Liu Zhengfeng to wait, Liu Zhengfeng's hands were already soaked in the golden basin. Then, he took the towel handed by the servant beside him and dried the water on his hands.
" Liu Zhengfeng, receive the flag of the Five Mountains." The disciples of Mount Song were so angry that their faces turned red when they saw that they could not stop Liu Zhengfeng from washing his hands.
" I've already retired from the martial world. I only accept imperial edicts now." Liu Zhengfeng was implying that the Five Mountains 'flag was not as big as an imperial edict.
Upon hearing Liu Zhengfeng's words, the Mount Song disciple obviously understood Liu Zhengfeng's meaning. He was so stifled that he could not speak.
Xuan Qing was at the side, watching Liu Zhengfeng's performance and nodding her head endlessly. She thought to herself, as expected of someone who actually controlled a large sect. If it wasn't for the situation where his state of mind was out of control, he really had some skills.
At this moment, another person walked in. It was Mount Song Sect's Fei Bin. Fei Bin stared at Liu Zhengfeng and said," Junior Brother Liu, Alliance Master Zuo has ordered you to suspend your retirement. There's something I want to ask you."
