East Palace.

In the main hall.

Li Wuji and Li Jingyao were sitting opposite each other. The chessboard had been removed from the table, and a pot and two cups were placed on it. The two were sipping tea.

"No matter what, you shouldn't hurt him, and he was hurt so badly."

"You are the first person who dares to take action in the East Palace, and you are in front of me."

Li Jingyao took a sip of tea, looked at Li Wuji meaningfully and said.

"I was indeed a little impulsive just now. I hope Your Highness will not blame you."

"But I have always hated flatterers and flatterers. Such people are generally useless. If you keep them by Your Highness's side, they will sooner or later harm Your Highness."

Li Wuji bowed his hands and said seriously, without any intention of admitting his mistake.

"So, not only can I not blame you, but I also have to thank you?"

Li Jingyao smiled and asked slowly.

"That's not necessary, but since His Highness values ​​me so much, I can't turn a blind eye to this. I don't dare to hide this for the sake of Your Highness and my own personal anger."

Li Wuji paused and said without hesitation.

After hearing Li Wuji's sincere answer, Li Jingyao did not feel dissatisfied. Instead, she pursed her lips and showed a smile of approval.

"I can see that your relationship is very good."

Li Jingyao hesitated for a moment, looked at Pang Xiaoxiao who was sitting next to Li Wuji, and asked meaningfully.

"Indeed."

Li Wuji nodded and replied.

"Then do you know her true identity?"

Li Jingyao looked at Li Wuji and asked without blinking.

"I don't know."

Li Wuji turned his head and glanced at Pang Xiaoxiao, shook his head and said.

"Really don't know?"

Li Jingyao raised her eyebrows and asked hesitantly.

"Yes, but that's not important. When I met her, she was just a poor person who had been bullied in Yeyu Palace, so I rescued her from Yeyu Palace at that time."

"No matter what her true identity is, in my eyes, she is just the same person I first met."

Li Wuji smiled, looked at Li Jingyao, and said slowly.

"Even if she may harm you in the future, you won't regret it?"

Li Jingyao asked further.

"No regrets."

Li Wuji nodded affirmatively.

After hearing Li Wuji's answer, Li Jingyao looked back and forth at Li Wuji's Pang Xiaoxiao. After a moment of silence, she pursed her lips and smiled, no longer entangled.

Regardless of whether what Li Wuji said was true or not, she was not going to ask any more questions. Just as Li Wuji said himself, the answer was no longer important.

After the two chatted for a long time, it was finally time to say goodbye.

"I have a piece of advice to remind you. If my senior brother's cultivation is ruined, Lingyao Sword Sect will never give up."

"Perhaps you don't know that the reason why he was so domineering just now was not just relying on my power. You have to be careful."

As Li Wuji stood up and prepared to leave, Li Jingyao gave a serious reminder.

"Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness."

Li Wuji smiled, bowed his hands disapprovingly, and said slowly.

Li Jingyao smiled and waved her hands, said nothing more, and watched Li Wuji and Pang Xiaoxiao slowly walk out of the hall.

"Do you think he really doesn't know Pang Xiaoxiao's true identity?"

After Li Jingyao was silent for a moment, she asked thoughtfully.

"The humble position cannot be confirmed."

"But one thing is certain. Has His Highness noticed that Marquis Li'an's cultivation level seems to be getting more and more unfathomable?"

Tongzhuo shook his head and asked solemnly.

Hearing Tong Zhuo's words, Li Jingyao frowned involuntarily. She didn't notice it. She noticed it the moment Li Wuji made his move.

"Brother, you shouldn't offend others for me."

Outside the main hall, Pang Xiaoxiao was walking, looking at Li Wuji beside him, and said worriedly.

Li Jingyao's reminder before leaving made her realize the seriousness of the problem.

"unimportant."

"If I can't protect you, the old man won't let me go even if he is a ghost."

Li Wuji curled his lips and smiled, and said casually, without taking Li Jingyao's reminder to heart at all.

It's not that he doesn't care, it's that it really doesn't matter, because the junior sister is the most important person to him.

...

Leaving Anhou Mansion.

"What?!"

"Lingyao Sword Sect?!"

In the main hall of the front yard, when Li Wuji talked about how he had crippled the entire body of the Lingyao Sword Sect's disciple in the East Palace, Cao Zian's expression suddenly changed and he couldn't help but exclaim.

Seeing Cao Zian's reaction, Pang Xiaoxiao on the side had already realized that his brother had really offended someone he shouldn't have offended this time.

"Xiaoxiao, are you tired? Go back to your room and rest."

Li Wuji turned to look at Pang Xiaoxiao, whose face was full of anxiety, and said softly.

"Brother?"

Pang Xiaoxiao's face was solemn, full of worry and self-blame.

"Go ahead."

Li Wuji said with a smile.

Pang Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded, slowly turned around and left.

"Do you know Lingyao Sword Sect?"

After Pang Xiaoxiao left, Li Wuji looked at Cao Zian again and asked in a deep voice.

"Young master, you don't just know, it's like thunder!"

"You have hardly been involved in the martial arts world, so it's normal that you don't know much about it. However, there are very few people who travel in the martial arts world who don't know about the Lingyao Sword Sect!"

Cao Zian frowned and said solemnly.

"Is it very powerful?"

Li Wuji raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

"Yes, but the reason why it is famous in the world is not just because of its huge power, but also because of its leader Yue Lingyao!"

"The Lingyao Sword Sect is the first sect in the world where all the members of the sect are men and only the leader is a woman since the Empress ascended the throne! In the past ten years, the Lingyao Sword Sect has almost become the top sect in the world. Ranked among the top three! It has the potential to become the number one sect!"

"Thirteen years ago, Yue Lingyao came into the world with one person and one sword. She challenged all the masters in the world without losing. In less than half a year, she became famous all over the world! At that time, she was only fifteen years old! It can be said that she is a rare person in a century. Young genius!”

"Within three years, Yue Lingyao challenged almost fifty-six out of ten sects in the world, and was invincible. Finally, he threatened that he had no rivals in the world, sealed his sword and returned to the mountain, established a sect in Qingxia Mountain, and founded the Lingyao Sword Sect. , rising stars in the world went there one after another and paid homage to the mountain gate."

"Ten years have passed, and the Lingyao Sword Sect is now among the top three sects in the world. Many sects have spent decades, or even hundreds of years, struggling to achieve this."

"And Yue Lingyao's cultivation level is probably even more beyond the reach of people in the world than it was ten years ago."

Cao Zian introduced Li Wuji from beginning to end with a solemn expression, and the fear in his heart was palpable.

"oh."

After hearing Cao Zian's answer, Li Wuji nodded and responded lightly.

"oh?!..."

Seeing Li Wuji's cold reaction, Cao Zian felt like crying but couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Can you smile any harder?"

Li Wuji gave Cao Zian a disgusted look and said jokingly.

"Sir, can you be more serious? Isn't what I just said clear enough?"

"You have crippled the whole body cultivation of the great disciple of Lingyao Sword Sect. Not only have you hurt the face of Lingyao Sword Sect, but also the face of Yue Lingyao. I am afraid that Lingyao Sword Sect will not give up here and will definitely come to the capital to look for you.
