"Miss, we have come up with a name, listen to it, hey. Miss, don't run," Xiaohua shouted.

"Miss, you can do anything, just don't let her think of a name." Xiao Lan also said.

Wei Wushuang wanted to laugh when he saw them. The name of the Hidden Gate was also modeled after the secret door.

Lingxiao Sect, Lingjue is above the nine heavens. Change Ling to Ling, which means soul. "Lingxiao Sect, can you two coaches take a look at it?"

"Okay, okay, let's call it "Lingxiao Sect." Xiaohua and Xiaolan said together.

Wei Wushuang quickly established the Lingxiao Sect in Hucheng. It was composed entirely of women. She summoned Jiang Cuihua and several other girls, who had been rescued by Qiqi in Zoucheng, to Hucheng. Jiang Cuihua's current martial arts skills were no less than those of the shopkeeper Jiang Er, who had taught her martial arts.

Wei Wushuang also called the younger sister of the two little beggars that Qiqi had saved in Songcheng to Hucheng. She had now become a famous doctor and asked them to join the Lingxiao Sect.

Wei Wushuang also personally selected more than a dozen women from the Hidden Gate and the Anmen, who will all become the backbone of the Lingxiao Sect.

The Lingxiao Sect was quickly established, opening its doors on Laojun Mountain in Yu Town, Lake City. Yun Jizi chose an auspicious day to announce the sect's founding. Qiqi was appointed Sect Leader, and Wei Wushuang was appointed Deputy Sect Leader. Qiqi left all affairs in Wei Wushuang's care, leaving Qiqi's position to a sinecure.

The emperors of Great Zhou and Yongning sent gifts. Junior Brother Yunwu, Sun Baoyu, and other sect members also sent gifts. The Hidden Sect, the Anmen Sect, the Jiang Family, the Zhao Family, and even families who had received favors during the Qiqi Festival all sent large amounts of gifts.

Qiqi has collected countless space treasures, but she never thinks too much.

Jiang Shuo'an, the head of the Jiang family, and Zhao Yunniang were preparing a coming-of-age ceremony for Qiqi. They had invited all the prominent families in the Great Zhou Imperial City to the ceremony. Qiqi was also the future Crown Princess.

On the seventh day of her marriage, she bathed, changed her clothes, and waited in her boudoir.

Qiqi's parents welcomed the guests and seated them in the viewing area. The Emperor of Yongning and Liu Junyang came to the Jiang family to attend Qiqi's coming-of-age ceremony. The Emperor of Great Zhou and Zhou Jingze also attended the ceremony in person.

Jiang Shuoan, the head of the Jiang family, and Zhao Yunniang nervously welcomed them in and arranged them in the main seat.

Jiang Shuoan stood up and announced that the coming-of-age ceremony was now underway. Finally, both emperors placed hairpins on Qiqi. Qiqi then bowed to all the guests, signifying her official coming of age.

The Emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom also discussed the marriage of Qiqi and Zhou Jingze with the head of the Jiang family, and asked Yun Jizi to choose an auspicious day for their wedding.

The Emperor of Yongning and Liu Junyang stayed at the Jiang family for two days before saying goodbye and returning to Yongning.

Qiqi was reluctant to leave her father and escorted him several dozen miles away. The old emperor wanted to stay a few more days, but the emperor could not leave the imperial court for too long. Qiqi arranged for Xiaorui and Zhao Ning to escort her father back to Yongning.

Qiqi was worried about her father's safety. Letters arrived simultaneously from both the Secret and Hidden Gates, revealing that spies from Shunqing had arrived in Yongning. She feared they might be sent to assassinate her father.

The old emperor encountered an assassination attempt by a group of masked men in Jiangcheng. Xiao Rui and Zhao Yu dealt with the situation. Before Crown Prince Liu Junyang could even react, the assassins were killed. Liu Junyang was overwhelmed with admiration for them and asked them to teach him martial arts.

Xiao Rui and Zhao Yu, mindful of Liu Junyang's brother, mentored him throughout the process. Over the past twenty days, Liu Junyang had reached the early stages of the Golden Core stage, his progress skyrocketing. Both Xiao Rui and Zhao Yu were astonished by Liu Junyang's talent.

Yun Jizi had been optimistic about Liu Junyang from the beginning, and even said that Liu Junyang would be a great help to Qiqi in the future.

When the old emperor was passing through Hucheng, bandits appeared and robbed him, asking him to leave money for the passage.

Xiao Rui teased them for a bit. Finally, he pressed the acupuncture points on their leader. He and Liu Junyang followed the bandits up the mountain. Zhao Yu and the old emperor waited at the foot of the mountain, preparing to cook.

Xiao Rui and his companions soon reached the mountain. They saw many elderly, weak, and sick people living in the village. This year's drought had meant a small harvest, and the government had confiscated much of the grain, leaving them with barely enough to eat. To prevent the villagers from starving to death, they descended the mountain to rob. They didn't rob ordinary people, only officials.

They hadn't expected to run into such a tough opponent today. They were caught and taken back to the village.

Liu Junyang observed the situation in the village and took in some of it. He accepted all the young men as his guards and had the captain of the guards train them. Liu Junyang gave their families money and arranged for someone to send them food for the winter.

The young robbers knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Junyang and Xiao Rui, thanking them for saving the villagers.

The villagers didn't know it was the prince. When the newly recruited guards arrived at the imperial city, they realized they had robbed the emperor and the prince, which frightened them. They all came together to apologize to the prince, who helped them up.

"Since you know that robbery is wrong, then make amends for your mistake. Train hard and save more villagers like this," said the prince.

The guards were very moved and worked hard to improve their skills to protect the prince and the emperor.

Liu Junyang himself didn't know that the people he saved would become the strongest guards he left for his father in the future. Only then could he leave Yongning with peace of mind.

Xiao Rui and Zhao Yu safely escorted the emperor and Liu Junyang back to the Yongning Kingdom's palace before departing for Great Zhou. Liu Junyang had greatly admired Xiao Rui and Zhao Yu throughout the journey and was reluctant to leave them. He promised to visit them once Yongning was stable.

Xiao Rui and Zhao Yu quickly returned to the Jiang family. Qi Qi was also waiting for them.

Zhou Jingze recruited a dozen secret guards for his father, the Emperor. He asked Xiao Rui and Zhao Yu to train them, so that he could be assured of accompanying Qiqi to the immortal realm. Qiqi shared Zhou Jingze's idea with Xiao Rui and Zhao Yu, and they both agreed.

Qiqi's brothers Yuntian, Yunlei, Yunfeng, Xie Lei, Sun Baoyu, and Sun Yuyan all knew about it, and they were also willing to participate in the cultivation.

They all went to Laojun Mountain in Yu Town, Hucheng, to practice together.

After six months of cultivation, many of the guards reached the late stages of Qi Refining. Yuntian's brothers, along with Sun Yuyan and Sun Baoyu, all reached the peak of Foundation Establishment. Their rapid progress was due to the contribution of their wet nurse. She spent her days in the space refining elixirs to help them achieve breakthroughs, enabling them to cultivate rapidly.

The women soldiers trained by Xiaohua and Xiaolan have also reached the early stages of Qi Refining. The wet nurse's elixir has played an indispensable role in this.

Qiqi and her master are also consolidating their foundations. Zhou Jingze is preparing for his and Qiqi's wedding ceremony.

Soon it was the day of Qiqi and Zhou Jingze's wedding. Red silk hung all over the streets. Big red lanterns hung at the Jiang family's door, and the Prince's Mansion was filled with colorful balloons and ribbons. With red silk hanging at the door, the atmosphere was festive.

The Emperor of Yongning sent his crown prince, Liu Junyang, to attend Qiqi's wedding. He brought her over a dozen carts of dowry, just as he would have done for his own daughter. The old emperor, fearing Qiqi's wedding would upset him, did not come to the Great Zhou.

Qiqi was woken up early in the morning by her sisters-in-law. They dressed her up. Zhao Yunniang combed Qiqi's hair, wiping away tears as she did so. Qiqi had grown up unnoticed. She was busy rescuing people every day, rarely having a peaceful time at home. Zhao Yunniang felt sorry for her daughter. She knew Qiqi's abilities. With great skill comes great responsibility.

The daughters-in-law comforted their mother, saying that Qiqi would be back in a few days. Qiqi will always be the treasure of our family.

Xiaohua, Xiaolan and the nanny dressed Qiqi in a wedding dress with a cloud pattern of birds paying homage to the phoenix. She wore a golden phoenix crown on her head and a phoenix hairpin in her ear.

Qiqi's mother was afraid that she would be hungry, so she stuffed a few pieces of pastries she had made into her hands and asked her to eat some.

Zhao Yunniang knew that the wedding would take a long time and was afraid that her precious daughter would starve.
