However, since Chu Xisheng had extended the invitation, she had no choice but to attend.
She did not wish to offend this contemporary martial arts legend.
Qin Xiyang felt a sense of helplessness, but her face showed no change.
"Thank you, Mr. Feng, for passing on the ssage!"
She cupped her hands in respect and then turned her head, flying westward.
Just after Qin Xiyang left, soone on the deck from Luo Han Sect watched her back thoughtfully.
"Brother Feng, do you think your lord has taken a liking to her?"
Why else would he arrange to et at West Mountain Dragon Peak?
Isn’t this just to avoid Lu Luanti?
Lu Luanti had disembarked to try to contact Master Lu of Rung Manor, yet she could return at any mont.
’Mad Sword’ Feng San crossed his arms, lost in thought: "It’s possible, but it doesn’t concern us."
He couldn’t care less about his lord’s affairs.
Moreover, as far as he knew, due to certain reasons, his lord harbored great malice towards this Iron Mountain Princess.
In Feng San’s eyes, this woman seed more like a little lamb about to step into his lord’s trap.
※※※※
Dragon Peak is the highest peak of West Mountain, and it covers a vast area, with a summit diater of over twenty miles.
Upon reaching the skies above Dragon Peak, Qin Xiyang looked around for a while before spotting Chu Xisheng.
He was standing on the eastern cliff, looking down in the direction of Wang’an City.
This nearby area was also the most famous scenic spot of Wang’an City, the top of the Eight Views of Wang’an.
At this mont, she also noticed several faint presences trailing behind her.
These people were extrely cautious, but after Qin Xiyang retrained in the ’Formless Skill’, her cultivation had broken through to Second Grade, significantly improving her spiritual sense and barely detecting their presence.
Were they people from the Police Pool of Blood? Or the Imperial Palace?
Qin Xiyang couldn’t help but feel a sense of hesitation.
Should she still go to et Chu Xisheng?
Qin Xiyang sneered coldly and continued to descend her tunneling light.
eting with her junior brother was only right.
Moreover, she wanted Emperor Jianyuan to know that, besides the court, she had other options.
Chu Xisheng had already sensed Qin Xiyang’s arrival, looking up with a smile: "What a coincidence, I didn’t expect Junior Sister Qin to also co to Wang’an City."
Qin Xiyang couldn’t help but let out a silent ’hum’.
This Chu Xisheng had quite the domineering personality, even wanting to address her in a superior manner.
However, since Chu Xisheng was the Double Saint Inheritor of the Formless Divine Sect, it was reasonable for him to call her Junior Sister.
With no change in expression, Qin Xiyang landed beside Chu Xisheng; "I didn’t expect to see your Bathing Sun Divine Ship before, it was both a surprise and a delight."
She concentrated, looking at Chu Xisheng: "It’s been months, and our junior brother’s elegance has exceeded the past. I’ve heard so news from the East State, it seems the Iron Banner Gang has swept across the Dongfei Two States, taking control of the downstream 6700 miles of the Shenxiu River, and even occupying the exit of the Grand Canal Shanyang Channel. Now they’re strong with abundant warriors, with experts everywhere. It’s a nascent foundation, congratulations, Junior Brother Chu."
Upon hearing this, Chu Xisheng laughed heartily.
He looked proud, yet spoke modestly: "That small scene is nothing compared to a fraction of your Tieshan Qin Family. The Jiangnan area, while rich in grain and densely populated, produces only a tenth of the spiritual dicine of the Northern regions, let alone various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for artifact refining.
Currently, many masters are coming in admiration of my na, yet the inco from the Jiangnan area is limited, and I don’t even know how to support them. If financial power does not improve, this situation will disintegrate over ti."
He sighed and then asked with a aningful look: "Junior Sister Qin, are you entering the capital because Emperor Jianyuan has summoned you? At this ti, if you’re not busy smoothing the connections, but instead taking ti to find , surely there must be so important matter?"
Qin Xiyang paused in her energy.
She was unsure if Chu Xisheng’s words were intentional, containing sarcasm, or if he was indifferent to her actions of getting close to the court.
As for smoothing the connections—
In Qin Xiyang’s view, Chu Xisheng was one of the connections she must smooth, second only to Emperor Jianyuan.
At this mont, she involuntarily thought of her elder sister Qin Muge.
If her elder sister Qin Muge were still alive, she would never have to lower herself to a younger man, humiliate herself, and seek perfection in this way.
She never needed to please others; others always ca to coax her.
If only her sister were still here, if only ti could rewind to three years ago, no matter how dissatisfied she was with her sister’s restrictions, no matter how resentful she was of her father’s partiality, no matter how envious she was of her sister’s status and power, she would never—
Qin Xiyang quickly withdrew her thoughts, her face full of smiles: "Junior Brother, you jest. This ti, I ca to Wang’an City on Emperor Jianyuan’s decree, to take up my post. I bear the duty of You State Defense Commander and must adhere to the Daning Court’s rules.
By my inclination, I would still prefer to continue cultivating the Yazi Blade on the Formless Divine Mountain. After all, power and official positions are just external objects; martial arts are the foundation of our existence. However, the position of You State Defense Commander is my family’s hereditary title, and I cannot let it be lost in my hands, so I have no choice but to co."
Qin Xiyang expressed her frustration, speaking with flawless detail.
Seeing Chu Xisheng’s calm deanor, seemingly indifferent or unconcerned, she changed her tone: "Junior Brother, why are you entering the capital? It’s said that two days ago, you just swept through the Water Sky Association, occupied the counties of Fei State, so why are you leaving the gang’s main affairs to co to Wang’an?"
Chu Xisheng smiled slightly, pointing downwards: "I’m here to rescue one of my subordinates and take a look at this West Mountain."
"West Mountain?" Qin Xiyang’s face showed doubt: "West Mountain is a famous scene of Wang’an, with three of the Eight Views of Wang’an located there, a blend of natural beauty and exquisite workmanship, indeed worth seeing."
