All of a sudden, Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan had the same thought simultaneously.
Hu Shan, do you think there’s a chance that Brother Xu might have come to the Inner Domain?”
Slain a Grandmaster with a single slap – the thought of such formidable strength brought Xu Yan to his mind.
But Brother Xu is Brother Xu, and you, young master, are you. Couldn’t you have made a mistake?”
Hu Shan asked, perplexed.
Do you think there’s a chance that Brother Xu might have used my name?
Xie Lingfeng said thoughtfully.
Young master, that’s not right. Even though we agreed that, upon coming to the Inner Domain, one could use your name no matter what the circumstance, it’s unlikely to say ‘I am Xie Lingfeng’, right? Surely, it would be T am associated with Sword Master Cliff’s Xie Lingfeng…’”
Hu Shan abruptly stopped mid-sentence.
He suddenly felt that it wasn’t impossible for Xu Yan to announce himself as Xie Lingfeng.
Regardless of whether it’s Brother Xu or not, let’s make a trip to Duke Du’s
Mansion. If it really is Brother Xu, that would be fantastic.”
Xie Lingfeng murmured.
Hu Shan nodded. A trip to Duke Du’s Mansion would clear up everything.
Young master, what about these generous gifts?
He pointed to two large boxes and asked.
Let’s keep them for now. If it really is Brother Xu, we can hand them over to him.”
Xie Lingfeng said.
Young master, I’ll go pack up and be ready to accompany you down the
mountain.”
Hu Shan said eagerly.
Good!
Xie Lingfeng nodded in approval.
“Hu Shan, how much True Qi have you cultivated?
About sixty to seventy percent, I’ve made a considerable improvement.
Hu Shan replied excitedly.
Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan left the Sword Master Cliff, heading straight for Duke Du’s Mansion.
The upheaval at Duke Du’s Mansion gradually settled down.
Among the five vassal kings of the Great Yue Kingdom, the Duke Du was strongest, being a peak Great Grandmaster, held significant sway in the kingdom.
However, the five vassal-dynasty mansions had mutual grudges. Even though the royal family masterminded the disputes to prevent a possible union among the vassals…
No matter how it played out, the squabbles among the five vassals also involved their respective interests; the royal family merely added fuel to the flames.
Among the three countries in the Inner Domain, only the Great Yue Kingdom had vassal kings. This phenomenon was due to the fact, at the founding of the kingdom, the power of the five vassals was substantial…
The simultaneous alliance of the five vassals, unceremoniously against the kingdom’s potential united front, achieved a tacit agreement between each other.
It was nominally the ennoblement of vassals by the royal family of the Great Yue Kingdom, and the five vassals accepted the jurisdiction of the royal family. In reality, the territories of the five vassals always belonged to them.
Originally, the five vassals were five powerful families, dominating a part of the region and deeply ingrained.
This disturbance at Duke Du’s Mansion originated from another Vassal, Prince Zheng. A newly promoted Great Grandmaster from Prince Zheng’s Mansion wanted to expand his sphere of influence and extended his reach towards Duke Du’s Mansion…
The tension between the Du family and the Zheng family had escalated to a point of irreconcilability. The sudden attack from Prince Zheng’s Mansion happened to coincide with the death of Du Yuying’s mother, who expressed her final wish to be buried in her hometown.
Due to Du Yuying’s peculiar constitution and being the prodigy of Duke Du’s Mansion, she naturally became the targeted stimulant.
Although Duke Du’s Mansion tied the hands of the other party, this sensational event made its way to the Demon Sect. It was unclear what kind of benefits Prince Zheng’s Mansion promised to the sect.
In the end, even Yin Hong, a semi-Great Grandmaster, personally intervened and attempted to take Du Yuying away.
Yin Hong’s intervention targeted the Duke Du’s Mansion, regardless of differences with the people from Prince Zheng’s Mansion and the Demon Sect.
It seemed that multiple forces intended to seize this opportunity to weaken the Duke Du’s Mansion.
However, who would have thought that Xie Lingfeng, the prodigy of the Sword Master Cliff, would escort Du Yuying back all the way? He not only killed martial artists of Grandmaster-level, but even beat back the semi-Great Grandmaster Yin Hong.
Once the news spread, Prince Zheng’s Mansion retracted their hands, and the
Demon Sect fell silent as well.
The person behind Yin Hong also withdrew without even exposing his identity.
The Sword Master Cliff, a top power in the Inner Domain, has such a reputation that even the royal family of the Great Yue Kingdom would not dare to antagonize it rashly.
With the crisis resolved, Duke Du’s Mansion finally breathed a sigh of relief. This sudden attack from Prince Zheng’s Mansion was a carefully planned assault. If Duke Du’s Mansion showed any signs of vulnerability…
The other three vassals would certainly add insult to injury, seize the opportunity to incorporate Duke Du’s domain, and strengthen themselves.
The royal family of the Great Yue Kingdom would certainly fan the flames and make covert moves.
The nobleman behind Yin Hong is likely to be a member of the royal family of the Great Yue Kingdom.
In the garden of Duke Du’s Mansion, Du Yuying walked at a leisurely pace.
Missy, the generous gifts have been delivered to the Sword Master Cliff and given to Young Master Xie. When do you think Young Master Xie will come to propose?”
Cui’er exclaimed with a hopeful look on her face.
I am Missy’s personal servant. When Missy marries Young Master Xie, I will become the chambermaid. Then, Young Master Xie will surely have favor with me…
Cui’er’s face flushed red.
In Du Yuying’s eyes, a tender affection flickered. She replied softly, “It shouldn’t be too long, I suppose?”
Missy, when will you be able to break through to become a Grandmaster? It would be absolutely enviable to stand as a Grandmaster alongside Young Master Xie.”
Cui’er asked with a playful smile.
I’m not sure, maybe a year, or maybe five or six years…
Du Yuying shook her head, she was now at the second rank.
But she was still far away from the realm of a Grandmaster.
Prince Zheng is really despicable, thankfully Young Master Xie protected us, or else we would’ve been in danger, not to mention the disciples of the Demon Sect.”
Cui’er thought about their recent encounters and said indignantly.
Cui’er, do you know which Grandmaster under the Demon Lord made a move? Any news about that?”
Du Yuying asked thoughtfully.
No news yet, it could be those unknown Grandmasters under the Demon
Lord.”
Cui’er shook her head.
At that moment, a servant came to report.
Miss, Young Master Xie Lingfeng from Sword Cliff has arrived, he’s outside the residence.”
Upon hearing this, Du Yuying’s eyes lit up immediately.
Cui’er, go and invite Young Master Xie in. I’ll receive him at the Sound
Pavilion.”
Du Yuying ordered softly.
Her eyes couldn’t hide her joy.
But she had to maintain her dignity, so she let Cui’er do the welcoming.
Moreover, Cui’er was already familiar with him.
Yes, miss!”
Cui’er was extremely excited, her cheeks flushed.
“Is Young Master Xie here to propose? Am I going to become a maid who sleeps in the same room? Then I can also be with Young Master Xie…”
As she thought about the illusions she had under the influence of the illusion witch, her face turned even redder.
As she jogged towards the outer residence, she asked, “Did Young Master Xie come alone?”
No, Young Master Xie is not alone, he’s with an older man.
The servant replied.
Oh my, Young Master Xie must be here to propose.
Cui’er’s heart pounded heavily and her cheeks were flushed. It was as though her eyes were full of shyness.
She hurriedly arrived outside the other residence.
Outside the other residence of Prince Du’s mansion, had arrived Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan who had traveled a long way. They rushed to see Du Yuying, wanting to know if the person was really Xu Yan.
Master, if it really is Xu Yan, wouldn’t the affairs of the Du Mansion implicate Sword Cliff?”
Hu Shan scratched his head and asked.
What’s the big deal? Is my Sword Cliff afraid of the Great Yue Kingdom?
Xie Lingfeng dismissed it casually.
Master, why would Xu Yan use your name?
Hu Shan was perplexed.
Xie Lingfeng’s mouth twitched, “Didn’t I tell him? When you’re in the Inner
Domain, use my name if needed.”
He paused, recalling Xu Yan had also asked if it was for any situation.
I have a feeling something’s off about this. Shouldn’t he have said, ‘Xie Lingfeng and I are sworn brothers, give him some face?’”
Hu Shan was still confused.
Xie Lingfeng let out a sigh, “The thought process of a once-in-a-lifetime prodigy isn’t the same as ordinary people.”
Master, when I also said to use my name in the Inner Domain, could it be…?”
Hu Shan was suddenly jittery.
Don’t worry, he won’t use your name. Brother Xu is so young, and you’re much older, plus your strength is weak, it’s not suitable.”
Xie Lingfeng shook his head.
Hu Shan:…
He sighed inwardly. Being weak was such a sad thing!
A beautiful maid ran out excitedly. Her gaze swept past Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan, but she totally ignored them.
Young Master Xie, where is he?
Cui’er looked around in confusion.
This lady, Xie Lingfeng is right here.
Xie Lingfeng greeted with a bow.
Cui’er turned around to look at him, “You’re Young Master Xie Lingfeng from
Sword Cliff?”
Indeed, it’s me!”
Xie Lingfeng nodded.
Cui’er flared up like a provoked cat, “Where did this villain come from, daring to impersonate Young Master Xie? Someone, beat him up!”
