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

"In this way, we can both stop Li Lan and have the geniuses who have come to the capital do something for His Highness, which can be considered as a pledge of loyalty."

He explained in detail, and Li Guan nodded repeatedly, saying, "Okay, let's do it that way!"

"Oh, and remember to keep collecting spirit items!"

Li Guan spoke again: "Cultivating immortal techniques requires things like the Azure Cloud Fruit and the White Bone Flower; these things are extremely important!"

Mr. Zhu nodded. "These things were looted once during the preparations for the Qingtian Grand Ceremony. They are currently in very short supply on the market, and the production within Dali is extremely limited... Your subordinate will do his best!"

……

And that night.

"During his marriage to Grandmaster Lin Ruoxue, Li Lan frequented the Drunken Moon Pavilion, indulging in debauchery and disgracing the Grandmaster. He truly disgraced the entire martial arts world of Dali!"

"Li Lan owes the martial arts world of Dali an apology!"

"Anyone in the martial arts world who sees Li Lan shall kill him, in order to uphold the righteousness of martial arts and the reputation of a grandmaster!"

A piece of news suddenly spread and became known throughout the martial arts circles in Kyoto.

Inside an ancient temple.

"I have no grudge against Li Lan, killing him would be a sin..."

After reading the letter from Jinyang Palace, the monk Kujue sighed softly, "But if we don't kill him, we won't be able to obtain the immortal techniques that our Duli Temple should have. There's nothing we can do about it."

"I've got it, this is the only way!"

At the restaurant.

"Kill Li Lan?"

Jian Yingzhou smiled slightly: "This person is a cripple. Killing him would be an insult to the swords of my brother and me... Sister, what do you think?"

He looked at Jian Yinyue beside him, who calmly said, "Before the sword, all beings are equal. What difference does it make to us between a master and a piece of trash?"

Jian Yingzhou's expression hardened instantly, and he nodded, saying, "You're right, sister. Your swordsmanship and mental state seem to have reached a new level. What a profound statement about equality for all beings!"

……

"Kill this Li Lan, and you'll get the immortal techniques? Let's go kill some!"

At a small stall, Shi Zhong, a martial arts master, was gnawing on a braised pig's trotter when he was about to set off.

"Hey, don't rush!"

Shi Hao hurriedly stopped him: "This man is a Grand Secretary of the current dynasty. He is currently in the Jinxiu Palace. If you go to the Jinxiu Palace to kill him, that would be a capital offense. There are quite a few martial arts masters in the court."

"What should I do?"

"Wait for him to come out!"

……

"Holy Maiden, it seems that Jin Yang Palace is not planning to let Li Lan go."

Zuiyue Tower.

The Snow Moon Fairy spoke softly. Shangguan Xiaoxiao, dressed in a long black dress, was flipping through a book of poems. After reading for a long time, she closed the book and said, "The higher you climb, the colder it gets; I dance with my shadow in the breeze... Such beautiful poems, it would be a pity if we could never see them again."

"Tell him."

Shangguan Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "What Lin Ruoxue doesn't want, I'll take."

The Snow Moon Fairy then withdrew.

……

"Master, Li Lan is really in trouble now. Not only has he been rejected by Lin Ruoxue, but he is also being targeted by Jinyang Palace. Without the protection of the Lin family, Li Lan is helpless on his own. Facing the people of the martial arts world, he is doomed!"

In the Secret Service, Xi Xia delivered the latest intelligence to Zhao Tan Yue. She sighed and said, "This plan is truly ruthless. The martial arts practitioners are clearly being coerced by the Third Prince Li Guan, but they are using the banner of righteousness for martial arts. As a result, even the imperial court can hardly interfere in the affairs of the martial arts world."

Zhao Tanyue said calmly, "Li Lan and His Highness Li Yue should be setting off for Ning'an City tomorrow?"

Xi Xia nodded.

"Go and tell Li Lan that I will help him if he is in danger."

Xi Xia immediately said, "Ah? Master, you can't easily interfere in matters of the martial arts world..."

"What if I insist on getting involved?"

Zhao Tanyue remained calm and composed.

……

The Brocade Palace.

"They...they've gone too far!"

When the news arrived, Li Yue was so angry that his face turned pale!

……

"This is Li Guan's conspiracy! I will go to the palace to see my father right now!"

Li Yue spoke, his anger palpable.

However, Li Lan smiled and said, "There is a tacit understanding between the imperial court and the martial arts world. The imperial court generally does not interfere in matters within the martial arts world."

"Now they are using the excuse of vindicating martial arts, and it also involves Lin Ruoxue, who has just become a Grandmaster. Even though I am an official of the imperial court, the emperor probably won't care."

Li Guan and his group handled this matter very subtly.
