Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

After entering the forest, Yin Yin did not immediately find any trace of Xuan Nu.

The Mysterious Woman was very good at concealing her tracks, making herself almost indistinguishable from the natural atmosphere she was hiding in.

Yinyin gripped the sword tightly in her hand, looking around warily.

Just as she stepped on a dried leaf and heard the sound of it cracking, a flash of silver light appeared.

Yinyin immediately turned around, and the sound of weapons clashing rang out. She was knocked back by the force of the impact and slid about three meters away, covered with fallen leaves.

However, Yin Yin was not discouraged by the gap between herself and Xuan Nu, and took the initiative to draw her sword and meet her.

When the master and his disciple emerged from the forest, it was already half an hour later.

Xuan Nu was spotless, without a single flaw, but Yin Yin, who had come out carrying Mu Li, was covered in dust, and the hem of her clothes was stained with leaf fragments. Even her hair had some leaves on it.

Hongyao hid her smile behind the curtain and quickly stepped forward to clean Yinyin's hair before patting the dust off her body.

"Did the Palace Master go so far today that she even knocked down the curtain?"

Xuan Nu replied, "Yin Yin has made great progress in her moves, and I was so happy that I couldn't stop for a moment."

“It seems we still have a lot of experience to learn from,” Hongyao said, looking at Yinyin. “It’s only been three months, hasn’t it?”

Yinyin chuckled, unable to hide her smugness, and said, "I'll be even better in the future!"

Both Xuan Nu and Hong Yao liked Yin Yin very much.

Just as Hongyao was about to help Yinyin put on the veil, she heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching from afar.

"Uu——"

The neighing of horses rang out, and a somewhat familiar voice said with surprise, "Miss Lin, I didn't expect to see you here."

With her back to the Third Young Master, Yin Yin rolled her eyes without any regard for her manners in front of Xuan Nu and Hong Yao. She took the curtain back from Hong Yao and put it on her head, while also giving the Third Young Master a perfunctory nod as a greeting.

This attitude displeased the guards around the Third Young Master, but the Third Young Master seemed oblivious and dismounted to walk over.

Seeing this, Hongyao directly blocked the Third Young Master's path, preventing him from contacting Yinyin.

Despite being treated perfunctorily by Yin Yin, the Third Young Master was still able to maintain a gentle demeanor, but when he was stopped by Hong Yao, who was wearing a curtain, he lost his temper.

Although he was still smiling, his eyes had turned cold: "Young lady, I was just happy to run into Miss Lin and came over to say a few words to her. You..."

“Third Young Master,” Yin Yin interrupted him, “My fellow disciples are just close to me and used to taking care of me, so they don’t let strangers get close to me.”

The implication is that he is also a stranger, and therefore falls into the category of those who should not be approached.

To Yin Yin's surprise, after hearing her words, the Third Young Master not only did not feel discouraged, but even smiled sincerely again: "So that's how it is."

"Miss Lin, may I have a word with you in private?"

Yinyin refused directly: "There's nothing that fellow disciples can't know here. If you want to say it, then just say it. If it's something that's not easy to say in front of others, then there's no need to say it out loud."

No matter what he wanted to say, Yin Yin wouldn't discuss it with him privately, especially since her master was right there.

The Third Prince glanced at Xuan Nu and Hong Yao. Although they looked somewhat familiar, their Yaochi Palace-style clothes were identical, and both wore veils. Based solely on their height and build, the Third Prince couldn't tell who they were.

He thought for a moment, still afraid of missing this opportunity, and wondering when he could catch Yin Yin and get her to listen to him. So he said, "I have two things to say. One is that I admire Miss Lin. I wonder if I could have the honor of accompanying Miss Lin after she travels the world alone?"

“I’m sorry,” Yin Yin said, “If it’s such a boring thing, I’ll pretend I didn’t hear what you said today, and you don’t need to mention it again in the future.”

The third young master looked disappointed, then brought up a second matter: "Miss Lin, the imperial court intends to establish an organization for the martial arts world. I wonder if you and Yaochi Palace would be willing to join us and work with the court to regulate the martial arts forces and protect the safety of ordinary people?"

Upon hearing this, Yin Yin glanced at him, which was quite rare. So this organization was the reason why the Third Young Master had gone to such lengths to block her for so long?

and many more.

An organization of the imperial court that serves the martial arts world—this term sounds familiar.

Isn't this the organization that the Regent, the mastermind behind everything in the story, established and directly governed by him?

In the early part of the story, the protagonist receives a lot of help, enabling him to uncover the truth behind his parents' deaths, kill their enemies one by one, and avenge them. However, at the end, the protagonist finds crucial evidence that peels back the veneer, revealing a regent with ambitions to usurp the throne. Who was that regent again?

What was his rank when he was a prince?

It doesn't seem to be mentioned in the plot, but it is mentioned that this person is the late emperor's younger brother, born of the same father and mother.

If the Crown Prince ascends the throne smoothly, then the only younger brother in the court who shares the same father and mother as the Crown Prince will be the Third Prince.

Very well, you claim to be helping ordinary people and regulating martial arts practitioners, but in reality, you're just facilitating your own ambitions and openly expanding your power, right?

That's a really good idea.

Yinyin deliberately hesitated and refused again: "Third Young Master, you've probably come to the wrong person. I don't think I can help you with this matter. You should find someone else."

Compared to the previous incident, the Third Young Master was more surprised by Yin Yin's rejection this time.

He lowered his eyelids, feigning a melancholy expression: "Because of what happened to Zhuo Sikong when he was young, I still thought Miss Lin would be different."

“What’s different?” Yin Yin deliberately brought up the past. “The Third Young Master spoke so eloquently on behalf of the court back then, but where is Zhuo Sikong now?”

Even as a child, the Third Prince had guards who made Zhuo Sikong treat him with caution. If the court wanted to arrest Zhuo Sikong, why would he still be at large, teaching his disciples?

The humiliation Yin Yin suffered at Zhuo Sikong's place back then was avenged by her master.

Speaking of Zhuo Sikong's disciple, Yin Yin has not forgotten that back then, the Third Young Master chased after her and ran to her roof to disturb her peaceful sleep.

The Third Young Master hurriedly said, "Zhuo Sikong is too good at hiding, which is why the court was unable to catch him sooner. But Miss Lin, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation."

After saying that, he added, "Miss Lin, could you please convey this matter to Venerable Xuan Nu? I will visit Yaochi Palace again in a few days to inquire about their reply."

"disagree."

Xuan Nu, who had been listening in silence for a while, finally spoke up.

"The reply from Yaochi Palace was that they disagreed."
