The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

"I didn't expect even the sorcerer Huining would come, just to deal with a junior in the martial arts world. No wonder Ouyang Ling said his mind was unstable and left first!"

Tang Feihong stood in the crowd, recalling what Ouyang Ling had said when she left not long ago.

Ouyang Ling said that her state of mind was still unstable and she needed to go out into the world to experience more trials and tribulations, including more love and relationships.

Having witnessed Jia Daoshi's actions several times, his Daoist resolve had become somewhat unstable.

In this world, the only things that can truly calm Ouyang Ling's mind are beautiful women and fine wine.

The number of people around Happy Forest increased.

Feng Shengxue of the Demon Sword Palace also arrived at the scene with his subordinates.

The younger generation of experts have been comparing themselves to Jia Daoshi these past few days.

However, such a comparison is undoubtedly self-humiliating!

Mingyue Xin arrived a little late.

When she arrived, she was somewhat surprised to find that there were twice as many people as yesterday!

Moreover, most of them are powerful figures who hold sway over their respective regions!

“Even the entire court of Lian Qing and the sorcerer Hui Ning have come! What is the Kushan Dynasty trying to do?” Mingyue Xin frowned.

"And Wen Qing, one of the Twin Saints of Violet Luo, has also personally taken action. This woman hasn't made a move in over ten years. Could it be that she couldn't hold back this time?"

Mingyue felt a growing sense of caution.

The powerful figures here are all far superior to her in terms of cultivation. It will be quite difficult to snatch someone away from them!

……

"Wen Tao, you're really something! No wonder you stole the thing, cured it, and then threw it away again. You wanted the court to draw the blame and make you take the fall!"

In an inconspicuous corner, Murong Nishang, disguised as Sun Xingyu, blocked a middle-aged man with a lewd face who was dressed as a waiter!

This middle-aged man was none other than Wen Tao, the legendary thief!

After leaving Happy Forest, Murong Nishang did not leave the city, but instead went to the inn closest to Happy Forest to stay!

Upon arriving at the residence, they discovered a highly suspicious person!

It was this very same thief, Wen Tao, who disguised himself as an ordinary shopkeeper!

Murong Nishang had interacted with Wen Tao before, so she was able to recognize the boy.

However, Wen Tao thought that the person in front of him was Sun Xingyu, the Holy Maiden of the Moon Worship Cult, so he was already trembling with fear!

In fact, as a master thief, Wen Tao had already stolen everything he could. In order to challenge himself and set new goals in life, Wen Tao set his sights on the treasury of the Great Jing Kingdom.

Who would have thought that this theft would indeed achieve the goal of reaching new heights, but it would also leave behind a hot potato.

This has attracted the attention of almost the entire martial arts world!

Wen Tao, of course, knew his own limitations, and immediately passed the hot potato to Shen Li.

"Holy Maiden Sun, I didn't expect you to recognize me even after I disguised myself like this!" Wen Tao stopped pretending once he realized his identity had been exposed. "By the way, Holy Maiden, I happen to have a plan here and I'm short of a reliable person. I think you'd be quite suitable. Would you be interested?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Nishang became interested: "What plan? Tell me about it?"

"That's it..."

"Tsk tsk! Your plan is a bit difficult!" Murong Nishang said with a surprised look after hearing it.

"Hehe, if it weren't difficult, I wouldn't need any help." Wen Tao still had a sly grin on his face.

The current situation has indeed developed beyond his expectations, but that makes it even more challenging!

Anyway, we're going to go no matter what!

"Okay! But if we can get the item, I want 70%!"

Murong Nishang made an outrageous demand!

"Hehe! No problem! No problem! Anyway, it's useless for me to get it without you."

Wen Tao chuckled, looking completely unconcerned.

……

"Master, Jinling City is so lively! You said you were itching to fight here? Who here is as strong as you? Aren't you just bullying people?"

In the crowd, a slender, pretty girl with a bun hairstyle followed beside an elderly man with a full head of white hair, whispering to herself.

The man who came had truly white hair, as white as snow, and wore a long blue cloth robe. He held a welding torch in his hand, and was hunched over, looking no different from an ordinary old man.

But unexpectedly, two divine lights would flash in the old man's eyes.

The two divine glints that flashed in his eyes alone were enough to show that this old man was no ordinary person!

This is no simple matter!

Moreover, this old man's identity is indeed not simple!

He is Qin Jiaxian, the master of Daoji Tower among the Twelve Towers of Wind and Waves!

However, in the outside world's perception, Qin Jiaxian, the owner of Daoji Tower, has disappeared for many years and vanished from the martial arts world!

So none of the many martial arts figures present recognized him!

"Hehe, what are you saying, kid? Didn't you see your two black uncles are here? Besides, your master hasn't encountered a good talent in so many years. Now that I've seen such a genius junior, I'm thinking of testing him to see if he's really strong or just all talk!"

Qin Jiaxian and his ilk concealed their identities, posing as storytellers. They wandered the martial arts world, performed stories in various restaurants and teahouses, and occasionally told fortunes.

Doing this allows one to cultivate one's character and temperament, as well as gather information about the martial arts world and firmly control the strength of the major factions within it.

As for the girl next to him, she is his only disciple and the future successor of Daoji Tower, named Dong Xuan'er.

Upon hearing this, Dong Xuan'er revealed a sly smile and looked towards the direction of Happy Forest, saying, "Master, I've heard that this Supervisor of the Great Jing Imperial City Division is extraordinary, a rare genius in the martial world, and surrounded by beauties. This kid must have some special skills. Master, when you make your move later, you must not go too far."

"Ahem... You brat, your master hasn't even made a move yet, and you're already speaking up for outsiders! Don't worry, your master will never kill the person your Uncle Hei has his eye on."

The master and apprentice whispered to each other, but no one nearby noticed.

……

Time passed slowly, and more and more masters gathered around the Happy Forest.

Finally, a sliver of red light appeared on the eastern horizon!

That's the light of the rising sun!

As the sun rises.

A brand new day has begun!

"call out!"

Suddenly, a strong wind blew across the Qinhuai River!

A strong wind swept across the water, leaving a white trail a hundred meters long. Huge waves surged toward both banks, leaping up sprays of water!

"It's sword energy!"

"He still made a move!!"

Jiese and Yu Chisu were the first to wake up from their meditation.

The two opened their eyes, their gazes sharp as lightning, and looked towards the Qinhuai River!
