Chapter 169: Is Bullying My Junior Brother Considered A Mistake?

“Who is disturbing me from cultivating in peace?”

The indifferent voice attracted everyone’s attention.

Even the Wei-Wu Marquis of the Great Xia Dynasty couldn’t help but look over.

Not far away, it was a man in a green robe.

He had stunning good looks and had the aura of a Sword Immortal.

He spoke slowly with a calm gaze and his composure was definitely not pretentious but genuine.

To be honest, the Wei-Wu Marquis knew that the people who kidnapped the Tenth Princess were from the Fiendcelestial Cult. However, he was shocked that she had been rescued.

At the same time, he also believed that the person who could save the Tenth Princess from the Fiendcelestial Cult was obviously not of a low cultivation level.

‘However, so what?’

‘Can he be stronger than the Great Xia Dynasty?’

‘Can he be stronger than me?’

However, when Su Changyu appeared, the Wei-Wu Marquis could not help but look surprised.

Soon, something that made him even more surprised happened.

“Fifth level of the Qi Refinement realm?”

Yes, the fifth level of Qi Refinement.

The Wei-Wu Marquis originally thought that Su Changyu was the person who saved the Tenth Princess.

However, he didn’t expect Su Changyu’s cultivation level to be only at the fifth level of Qi Refinement, which was completely insignificant to him.

‘Did I think wrongly?’

The Wei-Wu Marquis was confused.

At this moment, Su Changyu, who just appeared, looked at everything in front of him and was a little confused.

‘Why are there so many people?’

‘Why does this group of people look like they’re not to be trifled with?’

‘Who am I?’

‘Where am I?’

‘What am I going to do?’

Su Changyu was confused.

He had been sleeping just now and was suddenly woken up by the noise. Hence, he mistakenly thought that Ye Ping was having a breakthrough again.

Hence, he came out to pretend to be impressive, but he didn’t expect there to be so many people.

‘Why are all of you looking at me?’

Su Changyu’s appearance made the scene become more serious.

Su Changyu also turned to look at the Wei-Wu Marquis.

His gaze was extremely calm.

All of a sudden, the Wei-Wu Marquis became a little sullen.

He couldn’t put a finger on the other party’s true strength.

If Su Changyu was really only at the fifth level of Qi Refinement, he couldn’t have remained fearless in the face of the invincible cavalry.

The cavalry had been to battle before and they were emitting a murderous aura. Even Essence Soul realm powerhouses would show some battle intent when facing such a cavalry.

However, the man in front of him was abnormally composed.

The Wei-Wu Marquis was very knowledgeable.

He knew that during the luck-exterminating battle, many sects were exterminated by the Great Xia Dynasty, but there were also many peerless sects that retreated from the dynasty to stay in recluse.

Hence, there were many powerhouses hidden in this world.

Thinking of this, the Wei-Wu Marquis Bo Zhong spoke up.

“I’m Bo Zhong, the Wei-Wu Marquis of the Great Xia Dynasty, and you are?”

Bo Zhong’s voice was very calm. He looked at Su Changyu and asked for his name.

‘The Great Xia Dynasty Marquis?’

When he heard the other party’s name, Su Changyu couldn’t help but be astonished.

In his eyes, the Lord of Baiyun Ancient City was already a mighty figure and the Wei-Wu Marquis was just a bigwig whom he could never imagine.

‘How can such a figure appear in the Qingyun Dao Sect?’

He didn’t seem to be lying.

Thinking about this, Su Changyu couldn’t help but feel upset.

‘If I had known earlier, I might as well continue sleeping. Why did I get into trouble with the Wei-Wu Marquis?’

However, seeing that Su Changyu was not saying anything, the Wei-Wu Marquis continued to speak.

“I’m here to take away the Tenth Princess of Great Xia Dynasty under the orders of the king.”

Although he was somewhat unable to put his finger on Su Changyu, he was the marquis of the Great Xia Dynasty and was used to getting shocked.

However, after the Wei-Wu Marquis said that, Su Changyu couldn’t help but feel relieved.

‘So he’s here to pick her up.’

‘That’s fine then.’

However, Da Xu suddenly spoke up.

“Immortal Changyu, Qingmo likes to stay for a few more days, but the Wei-Wu Marquis is too domineering and doesn’t want to cut her some slack at all.”

Xu Luochen and the others knew what kind of person Su Changyu was, so they didn’t dare to say much, for fear that the more Su Changyu pretended, the more things would go wrong.

Besides, Da Xu did not know that. He really thought Su Changyu was a peerless expert so he hurriedly said the reason, hoping that Su Changyu could intervene.

Hearing what Da Xu said, Su Changyu roughly figured out what happened.

He reckoned that Xia Qingmo had enjoyed herself in the Qingyun Dao Sect and did not want to go back. That was also very understandable. After all, the princess had never experienced life in the countryside before and it was normal for her to like the sense of novelty.

However, a princess was a princess after all. How could she stay in the countryside all the time?

At the thought of this, Su Changyu felt that he had to do some mediation lest they ruined the harmony.

Su Changyu immediately spoke up.

“Is that so?”

He spoke with an indifferent voice and calmly looked at the Wei-Wu Marquis.

He did not make a long speech or issue any threat. He simply said those words and had an inexplicable aura.

Clang Clang.

In an instant, tens of thousands of cavalry drew their spears and got into a battle stance.

At this moment, everyone in the entire Qingyun Dao Sect was nervous.

Su Changyu was the most nervous one.

He didn’t expect his problem to act up again.

Just now he clearly wanted to act as a mediator, but he didn’t expect his habit to act up again.

However, apart from Daoist Tai Hua who knew about Su Changyu’s problem, no one else did.

All of a sudden, Daoist Tai Hua tensed up too.

‘This is unbelievable.’

“I’m here on the emperor’s orders.”

Fortunately, the Wei-Wu Marquis did not lose his temper and simply said those words.

He came by the emperor’s order and was not trying to be hostile.

“Which emperor?”

Before Su Changyu could think about it, he subconsciously said those words.

“The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.”

The Wei-Wu Marquis had a sullen expression because Su Changyu’s words sounded a little offensive and confrontational towards the Great Xia Dynasty.

“What if I say that the imperial edict is not valid here?”

In the next moment, what Su Changyu said was even more shocking.

This was the territory of Qingzhou, which was owned by Jin Nation, and Jin Nation was ruled by the Great Xia Dynasty.

All land belonged to the king.

Su Changyu’s words were already a provocation to the Great Xia Dynasty.

Boom.

The cavalry moved. They were holding onto long spears with an icy cold gaze in their eyes.

Although they didn’t know if Su Changyu was a peerless powerhouse or not, insulting the Great Xia Dynasty was a capital crime in their eyes.

The Wei-Wu Marquis seemed a little furious too.

He could be nice because Su Changyu was a hidden peerless expert, but he wouldn’t allow anyone in this world to dare to disregard the imperial edict.

“All land belongs to the king. Who would dare to defy the imperial edict?”

The Wei-Wu Marquis said straightforwardly.

They could either let him take the princess away or be killed by him. That was all.

All of a sudden, there was great tension in the air.

He felt that a fight was about to break out.

Daoist Tai Hua panicked.

Su Changyu was even more flustered than him.

He felt really terrible and regretted not stopping himself from spouting nonsense.

At this moment, Su Changyu wished he could leave, but the problem was that he could not only not control his mouth, but he couldn’t control his body either.

If he could control it, he would have long fled.

Otherwise, if that went on, they would really get into a fight.

When the time came, it would be really troublesome.

However, at this moment, before Su Changyu could speak, a figure appeared in front of everyone.

It was Gu Jianxian.

His gaze was deadpan as he walked towards Su Changyu and said slowly.

“My name is Gu Mingshi, Greetings, Master.”

“Greetings, Uncle-Masters.”

“Uncle-Master Ye, I’ve already comprehended the sword mark.”

Gu Jianxian bowed to everyone, looking rather silly.

His appearance made the scene become awkward again.

It was the time of life and death.

‘You came out just to tell everyone that you comprehended the sword move?’

‘Big brother, don’t be ridiculous.’

Seeing Gu Jianxian’s silly appearance, Su Changyu felt extremely depressed.

He regretted taking him in as a disciple.

However, everyone was confused.

On the sky dome, the Wei-Wu Marquis Bo Zhong froze in shock.

‘Ancient Sword Immortal?’

‘The world’s best Sword Immortal.’

‘Gu Jianxian.’

‘The leader of the Itinerant cultivators’ alliance.’

The Wei-Wu Marquis never thought that he could actually meet Gu Jianxian in such a small place.

Perhaps for ordinary cultivators, Gu Jianxian was a stranger.

However, to him or even those with a high status in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, they would know how terrifying the name Gu Jianxian was.

He was a peerless Sword Dao expert and could make sure that no expert would appear in the Sword Dao lineage in 500 years.

When he was young, Gu Jianxian honed his supreme sword intent and managed to challenge all the Sword Dao sects of the five major dynasties.

Gu Jianxian had done such things too many times before.

As for Gu Jianxian’s cultivation level, rumor had it that he had arrived at the Mahayana realm, but hadn’t proven the Sword Immortal Dao and thus could not become an immortal.

There were also rumors that Gu Jianxian had already become an immortal, but he knew of a huge secret and hence could not ascend.

However, no matter what, Gu Jianxian’s name was too significant.

He could be equal even to the emperors of the five great dynasties.

it was not only because he was at the peak of the Sword Dao, but because he was also the leader of the world’s itinerant cultivators’ alliance.

His power was not weaker than any dynasty as he unified the world’s itinerant cultivators.

There were three forces in this world.

Itinerant cultivators, dynasties, and sects.

The itinerant cultivators alliance was the most powerful as all the itinerant cultivators would be willing to join them.

However, the itinerant cultivator alliance had a strict rule where the itinerant cultivator alliance would not intervene in any battles as long as no one attacked the itinerant cultivators.

After all, even if there was an itinerant cultivator alliance, they wouldn’t be able to deploy the itinerant cultivators to do anything unless there was a major issue.

That was also the reason that itinerant cultivators were allowed to appear in the immortal sects of the five dynasties.

Otherwise, no one could ignore a force like this.

In short, Gu Jianxian was an existence he could not provoke.

No matter what the situation was, one could not provoke Gu Jianxian.

Marquis Bo Zhong swallowed his saliva.

He stretched out his hand, and in an instant, tens of thousands of iron cavalry all put their weapons away, although they did not know what he was thinking.

However, military orders were of utmost importance and they had no choice but to put down their weapons.

They swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

The Wei-Wu Marquis still could not understand why Gu Jianxian was there.

What shocked him even more was, an esteemed peerless Sword Immortal actually called a young man his master.

‘Is Su Changyu… really secretly an expert?’

‘It shouldn’t be, he’s too young, isn’t he?’

‘True immortal reincarnate?’

Various thoughts appeared in the Wei-Wu Marquis’ mind, one after another.

However, in the end, those thoughts were all suppressed by him.

“His Majesty has ordered me to bring the princess home within seven days.”

“Tenth Princess, there is one day to go, I hope you will cooperate with me at this timing tomorrow.”

“Let’s go.”

The Wei-Wu Marquis spoke on the Purple Jade Qilin.

He had compromised.

Regardless of whether Su Changyu was a supreme expert or not, Gu Jianxian was one.

After saying this, the Wei-Wu Marquis left.

He took most of them and left the Qingyun Mountains.

That group of people came quickly and left extremely quickly too.

That feeling of black clouds pressing down on the city also disappeared instantly, and everyone couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.

However, no one spoke at this moment.

Except for a few people, all of them had a feeling of surviving an ordeal.

“I didn’t expect you to be Princess Qingmo, you do look very auspicious.”

Daoist Tai Hua’s voice was bitter.

Except for Ye Ping and Da Xu, no one knew that Xia Qingmo was the princess of the Great Xia Dynasty.

It was actually Ye Ping’s fault because he had been worried that the sect and the Great Xia Dynasty might have some feud.

“Sect Leader, you’re being too serious. Being a princess is like being imprisoned to me.”

Xia Qingmo did not sound as joyous as before.

Daoist Tai Hua fell silent.

He was still full of shock.

The prince of Jin Nation had already shocked him, and now the princess of Great Xia Dynasty looked just like an immortal him.

“Thank you all for your hospitality these days, I will remember your kindness. Although I don’t know if I can see you again in the future, I will repay you if we meet again.”

Soon, Xia Qingmo forced a smile.

She looked rather miserable when she said those words.

However, no one said anything.

She was the princess of the Great Xia Dynasty so it was normal to go back to the palace. Since it was a family matter, they were in no place to intervene, nor would they.

“Princess Qingmo, don’t worry, we will definitely have the opportunity to meet in the future.”

At this moment, Ye Ping said with a warm but melancholic smile on his face.

Ye Ping did not understand Xia Qingmo’s thoughts very well, but he remembered her as his friend and believed that although Xia Qingmo would leave the Qingyun Dao Sect to return to the Great Xia Dynasty, they would meet again sooner or later.

“Yes.”

Xia Qingmo nodded with a smile on her gorgeous face.

“I’ll go pack my things.”

At this moment, Xia Qingmo left to go pack up, but the crowd knew that she had nothing to pack and that it was just an excuse to be alone.

No one stopped her.

They watched her leave.

After Xia Qingmo left, Da Xu couldn’t help but speak.

“It seems that Qingmo is not favored in the imperial palace.”

His voice was calm.

As a Nascent Soul realm cultivator, he was naturally conscientious and could tell from the way Wei-Wu Marquis treated her before that Xia Qingmo was definitely not the type to be favored.

Otherwise, the Wei-Wu Marquis wouldn’t have said that.

“Ah, everyone says that it’s good to be a royal, but who knows the suffering that they go through? Princes have it better since they can at least continue being a prince even if they do not ascend to the throne. Even those who are not favored will have it better than princesses as they don’t have to be sent to join a marriage alliance.”

Xu Luochen could tell something.

Xia Qingmo was gorgeous. If she was favored, she’d definitely soar high; if not, she would just have to get into a marriage alliance.

Marriage alliances often end tragically.

Internal marriage was at least better because they would be married to a prince or a marquis, and her status as a princess would be of some use.

However, if she married outside of the family, it would be terrible.

“Ah, I think you guys are being a little too pessimistic. Maybe Qingmo just doesn’t like being in the palace. Why are you making it sound like Qingmo will soon marry a bad guy?”

Chen Lingrou interrupted.

She felt that the crowd was a little too pessimistic.

They shouldn’t be.

“Yes, maybe we were overthinking.”

“Yes, maybe it’s indeed that case. Ye Ping, hurry up and comfort her. After all, she’s the princess of the Great Xia Dynasty. If she takes a liking to you, you can marry her.”

Xu Luochen and Wang Zhuoyu said.

They wanted Ye Ping to go see Xia Qingmo

As for the latter half of the sentence, it was purely just a joke.

“I’ve embarrassed myself.”

Ye Ping didn’t harbor any intentions to marry Xia Qingmo and merely felt upset seeing how out of sorts Xia Qingmo was.

Hence, Ye Ping walked towards the residence to take a look at Xia Qingmo.

He thought that he would try to counsel her as much as he could.

At this moment, in Qingyun Mountain Range, the mountains were steep and the rocks were odd-shaped.

The cavalry of the Wei-Wu Marquis headed to the Baiyun Ancient City.

On the Purple Jade Qilin, the Wei-Wu Marquis kept frowning while thinking about something.

However, at this moment…

All of a sudden, a figure appeared silently not far away from them.

Tap! Tap!

The cavalry stopped.

The Purple Jade Qilin stopped too. Wei-Wu Marquis Bo Zhong walked over and looked.

It was a woman in white.

She was leaning against a large tree, holding a wine gourd in her hand and drinking out of it while pondering over something.

“Who’s there?”

The Wei-Wu Marquis looked over.

“Tsk tsk tsk… you’re really different after you became a marquis, you don’t even recognize me anymore.”

Her voice was indifferent.

The woman in white slowly turned to look.

In an instant, the Wei-Wu Marquis froze.

In the next moment, he got down from the Purple Jade Qilin and bowed to the woman in white.

“I didn’t know that you were here. Your Excellency, please pardon me.”

The Wei-Wu Marquis was even more shocked to see this woman than he was when he saw Gu Jianxian.

He hurriedly bent down and bowed respectfully.

The cavalry was stunned.

He was the Wei-Wu Marquis who was second only to the king of the Great Xia Dynasty. They never thought he would have to bow to a woman with so much respect.

‘Who is this woman?’

They were stunned, but at the same time, they all got off their horses to bow.

Gulp. Gulp.

The woman in white did not speak but kept chugging wine.

The Wei-Wu Marquis broke a sweat and kept swallowing his saliva.

“Your Excellency, what orders do you have for us?”

Bo Zhong bit the bullet and asked.

“Nothing much, I just want to beat you up because I feel irked by you. May I?”

The woman in white put away the gourd and said in a calm down.

“I don’t know what mistake I’ve committed, but I will obey your orders.”

The Wei-Wu Marquis was shivering a little.

“You don’t know what you did wrong? You bullied my Junior Brother, is that considered a mistake?”

The woman in white said, causing the Wei-Wu Marquis to be stunned.

‘Junior Brother?’

‘Who?’

‘Your Excellency, you might have a high status but don’t accuse me.’

‘Wait…’

‘Junior Brother?’

At this moment, a man’s face appeared in the mind of Wei-Wu Marquis, Bo Zhong.

However, before he could continue to speak, a white shadow appeared in front of him.

Two hours later, the Wei-Wu Marquis left with the cavalry, his face bruised and swollen.

He had taken a beating.

However, he did not dare to say a word.

The cavalry was silent, full of inexplicable curiosity towards the woman.

On the other hand, the Wei-Wu Marquis sat on the Purple Jade Qilin with his eyes full of astonishment.

He could not imagine it at all.

There were two big shots hidden in a tiny sect.
