Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

He initially thought this "inhuman" request was a bit excessive, but to his surprise, Li Yue readily agreed, his expression showing a great sense of relief and ease.

"Don't worry, teacher. As for women, I will definitely not touch, sniff, or touch them!"

With the excuse of cultivating the True Dragon Technique as a cover, I no longer need to share a bed with Lin Ruobing and expose my gender!

She couldn't have asked for it more.

Li Lan said, "Alright, you may go to the palace now."

……

On the day.

Le Viet petitioned for the city to be sealed off and for people to leave the capital!

This move directly shocked the entire imperial court!

"What? The First Prince wants to request a lockdown and to leave the capital? What's going on?"

"On the Mountain of Seeking the Dao, His Majesty decreed that whoever masters the True Dragon Technique first, either him or the Third Prince, will become the Crown Prince. Is he trying to withdraw from the competition for the Eastern Palace?"

"...Well, this is not a bad move. Without the help of a power like the Taiyi Sect, mastering the True Dragon Technique would be a pipe dream. Leaving now is a good thing!"

There was much discussion in the imperial court!

……

early morning.

In the capital of the Great Li Empire, a snow-white steed slowly arrived. Passing through the city gate, the woman in white on horseback, wearing a veil, stood silently on the main street of the capital.

Amidst the bustling streets and alleys, a hint of melancholy flickered in the woman's eyes. She then found a restaurant and ordered a pot of wine.

I overheard many people talking, almost all about the grand gathering at Qiudao Mountain. In various rumors, the Third Prince Li Guan was described as a true dragon chosen by the immortals, destined by fate.

She also heard the names of the Lin family, Li Lan, and others.

"Have you heard? Shangguan Xiaoxiao, the Holy Maiden of the Taiyi Sect, arrived in the capital yesterday!"

"This is going to be quite a spectacle! With divine powers descending upon the world and the strongest talents in the martial arts world arriving, the capital is bound to be in turmoil!"

"It's not just Shangguan Xiaoxiao, the Holy Maiden of Taiyi Sect; Shi Hao and Shi Zhong, two prodigies from the Shi Clan, an ancient martial arts tribe in the Central Plains; the Fengyue Swordsmen of the Sword Spirit Sect; Ku Jue, a monk from Duli Temple; and several geniuses from Zixia Academy... almost all of them are already on their way."

The geniuses of all the major martial arts sects in the world are almost all heading to Kyoto.

"Who do you think is the strongest among the younger generation of martial artists in the world today?"

"The monk Kujue of Duli Temple is so skilled in Zen that he has received the true teachings of Master Chanyue. He is already a top-tier martial artist and should be regarded as a leader among the younger generation!"

"Not so! Shi Hao and Shi Zhong of the Ancient Martial Tribe possess physical strength comparable to that of dragons and elephants, making them virtually invincible!"

"Heh, are the Two Swords of Wind and Moon really that weak? I heard that on the way to the capital, Shi Hao and Shi Zhong had already fought with the Two Swords of Wind and Moon, and the outcome is still unknown!"

There is no first place in literature, but there is no second place in martial arts. The question of who is stronger and who is weaker has always been a topic of great concern among the people.

"Gentlemen, if I were to name one person, I'm sure you would all agree!"

At this moment, someone else spoke up: "Lin Ruoxue!"

Upon hearing this, the restaurant fell silent for a moment, but soon someone chuckled and said, "Indeed, this woman is very strong. It's a pity, though, that she's already married and retired from the martial arts world. What's the point of talking about her now!"

"If this person had remained in the martial arts world, he might have been able to compete with others, but now that he is someone else's wife, his martial arts skills will naturally decline!"

"Yes, in a few years, she'll be pregnant. How can we resort to force then!"

"Hehe, yes, what a pity. Such a stunning beauty, a celestial maiden, has been given away to Li Lan, a martial arts failure!"

"Although Li Lan is quite talented in literature, he is ultimately a scholar. Gentlemen, do you think a woman like Lin Ruoxue would let Li Lan touch her? Perhaps this newlywed young woman is still a virgin! Hahaha..."

Everyone in the restaurant burst into laughter.

The marriage between Lin Ruoxue and Li Lan has always been a joke. Even though Li Lan has become a Grand Secretary of the court overnight, it is difficult to change the prejudice of the people.

"In short, Lin Ruoxue is practically a figure who has disappeared from the martial arts world."

"I'm destined to be a wife and mother for the rest of my life."

Everyone was talking about it.

The woman in the corner calmly drank a glass of wine and then paid the bill.
