Chapter 378 Sword Intent

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Mr. Zhu, don't worry, the emperor will pretend not to know."

"Why?" Zhu Caifu frowned.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "This..."

Zhu Caifu looked like she was listening attentively.

She felt that she needed to broaden her horizons. Although she had high martial arts skills, she was lacking in this area.

No one has ever told me these secrets.

The intrigue involved is quite interesting.

"Then tell me in detail," Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "Whether the scar is real or fake, the news has spread and everyone knows that His Highness has been disfigured."

"Ah."

"At this time, if I say that His Highness is not disfigured and has been cured, do you think everyone will believe it?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. Just show yourself in front of the crowd and see it with your own eyes."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Mr. Zhu, you think too simply. Showing up in the crowd is too deliberate, and people will not believe you even more."

Zhu Caifu frowned: "I saw with my own eyes that there were no scars, and you still don't believe it?"

"Don't forget, there are disguise techniques."

"…That's hard to explain!" Zhu Caifu was stunned and looked helpless.

As a grandmaster, I can convince people, but I can't change everyone's minds.

You can't force them to believe it, right?
Chu Zhiyuan said: "The emperor knows that it doesn't matter if the scar is gone. In fact, he can guess that this is a self-written play, but through this incident, at least he knows that your highness has a strong character... This suicide is fake, but what if it happens next time? If someone really dies, the marriage between the two dynasties will become a problem."

"Yeah, that's true." Zhu Caifu nodded in agreement.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Once I submit my apology letter, the emperor will go along with it and save face. We can part ways and live happily ever after."

"Then...there won't be any problem?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I think the emperor will soon respond to my petition for apology. I'm afraid the longer the night, the more trouble it will cause."

"Thank goodness, thank goodness. If it happens again, I really can't bear it." Zhu Caifu said.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "As long as we cooperate, there won't be any big waves."

"Okay, then I'll go." Zhu Caifu nodded.

She disappeared in a flash.

Chu Zhiyuan looked in the direction of Dazhen.

There are no problems on Dajing's side, but on Dazhen's side, the situation may not be so smooth.

It would be better to cut the Gordian knot and sort things out here so that Wen Tianya doesn't cause any more trouble.

He now gradually understood some of Wen Tianya's tactics and intentions.

The more he didn't want to marry the Eighteenth Princess, the more they insisted on marrying her to him.

What he wanted was to feel his pent-up anger, anger at his own powerlessness, and then practice hard.

You can't be impatient for success in the last two or three levels of practice, otherwise you will be stuck in the Grandmaster's Perfection State if you use the Jade Lock and Golden Gate Technique.

If you are too frustrated and angry, even if you know this, you will still rely on your high level of understanding and try your best, and thus get stuck.

This is just my own speculation, but Wen Tianya may be able to do it.

If I can think of it, Wen Tianya should be able to think of it too.

His gaze once again turned to the place where Zhu Caifu had stood before.

Zhu Caifu is an excellent breakthrough point and the best candidate to understand the inside story of Wentian Cliff.

But it’s not time yet.

To find out about Tianya's situation, one cannot ask directly, but rather listen to the little bits and pieces of information revealed during the time they are together.

Mingyue Building

Li Hongzhao leaned against the window and looked out at the noisy crowd downstairs.

She was still wearing the red palace dress, with a lazy expression and a graceful figure stretched out.

When Chu Zhiyuan appeared in front of her, her face looked normal, without any trace of the anger she had yesterday.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Has the knife arrived?"

Li Hongzhao lazily threw the long knife on the table to him.

Chu Zhiyuan took it, pulled it out gently, and immediately frowned.

I originally thought that once the blade of the knife was exposed, the sword intent would be released and I would have a hard time resisting it.

But the fact is, there was no intention of sword at all.

How could this be a grandmaster's sword? There was no sword intent condensed in it at all.

His face darkened.

The air seemed to freeze.

Li Hongzhao coughed lightly, breaking the ice: "What's wrong? Something's wrong?" Chu Zhiyuan turned his head and glared at her.

Li Hongzhao frowned and said, "I have already checked this sword. There is absolutely no problem. It is the sword used by the Grand Master of the Golden Sword Sect."

Chu Zhiyuan snorted, "Most of the Grandmasters of the Golden Sword Sect also discard their swords, right?"

"It's still like that now, but the owner of this sword is a sword fanatic, and he's still practicing swordplay like a grandmaster."

Chu Zhiyuan snorted, “It seems that the Golden Sword Sect’s swordsmanship has no further development after reaching the Grandmaster level.”

"Then I don't know."

"You know." Chu Zhiyuan snorted: "This knife..."

He stopped abruptly.

Only two-thirds of the blade remained unsheathed, causing his expression to change slightly.

Li Hongzhao kept staring at his expression.

Seeing his expression change from sneer and disdain to solemnity, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that this knife should be able to fool people.

The swordsmanship of the Golden Sword Sect is indeed unique, but to reach the level of a grandmaster, one has to rely on one’s own practice.

Swordsmanship is just a martial art, while grandmaster is a state of mind, the two cannot be confused.

When one reaches the level of Grand Master, one no longer pursues martial arts, but focuses on improving one's realm.

There are also different levels of realm for grandmasters, and martial arts are too useless for them.

Even if one still practices swordsmanship at the level of a great master, it is difficult to achieve anything great.

No matter which sect the grandmaster belongs to, it is the same.

So there is actually nothing surprising about the grandmaster's sword, it is no different from the grandmaster's sword.

The knife in front of you is like that.

Chu Zhiyuan slowly sheathed his sword, his face solemn, slightly pale, and with a splitting headache.

This knife is very ordinary, and its owner did not put any sword intention into the knife.

But at the broken part of the knife, there was a hint of strange knife intent.

The meaning of this knife is contained in the broken edge of the knife.

If I didn't have the sword intention, I probably wouldn't be able to detect it, nor would I be hurt by it.

This sword intent is like a hunter, specifically targeting prey with sword intent.

The knife intent entered his body, just like a needle piercing his head, over and over again, bringing waves of intense pain.

He tried his best to practice the Tianyuan Jue, and an endless stream of sweet rain fell, dispelling the pain and preventing himself from fainting.

This sword intent is completely different from the sword intent of the long sword in the silver sheath.

The silver-sheathed long sword's sword intent is sharp and domineering, and can be felt from afar.

The sword intent at the broken blade is soft and secretive. Once discovered, one will be caught off guard.

"Hey," Li Hongzhao asked with a smile, "Why do you look so unhappy? Is there something wrong with the knife?"

Chu Zhiyuan closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes a moment later, his face looked much better.

He glanced at Li Hongzhao and said, "What kind of knife is this? It's just a trick."

"This is really a grandmaster's sword!" Li Hongzhao said unconvincedly: "The sword of the Grandmaster of the Golden Sword Sect!"

Chu Zhiyuan snorted, "The sword was cut off by someone, so the Grandmaster is not dead, right?"

"That great master is no longer with us. He was not killed, but died of old age."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "The knife is broken, but the man is still alive. This is not a man obsessed with knives."

"As long as the man is alive, the knife is alive. When the knife dies, the man dies. This is just talk." Li Hongzhao snorted.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "You are deliberately fooling me this time."

Li Hongzhao sneered: "Are you trying to cheat?"

Chu Zhiyuan frowned and looked at her.

Li Hongzhao snorted, "If you want to cheat, then we should have less contact in the future."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed: "It's as if I'm begging you to see me. Fine, from now on, we won't see each other again."

Her Phoenix Nine Heavens Technique was still relying on me to practice, how dare she not see me?
"...I'll try to look for it again, but I can't guarantee that I'll find it."

"Keep looking. If you find it, you will be rewarded handsomely."

"What reward?"

"If you encounter your secret agents, spare their lives."

Li Hongzhao sneered: "Goodbye!"

After she said that, she stood up and left, like a ball of fire floating away among the crowd.
