Chapter 298: Chapter 295: The Guest

At this moment, Ji Dongxiao approached and whispered, ”Your Highness, Xu Changqing from Qinglu Cliff requests to see you.”

”I will not see any Elders from the Four Great Sects.” Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand.

”...Yes.” Ji Dongxiao hesitated for a moment, but ultimately said nothing, saluted with clasped fists, and prepared to leave.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”They didn’t just happen to run into each other, did they?”

If someone else were asked this question, they probably wouldn’t have answered, but Ji Dongxiao was observant, so it wasn’t a certainty.

”It’s not a coincidence; they likely know each other’s whereabouts,” Ji Dongxiao said.

”And what about the remaining sect?” Chu Zhiyuan smiled and asked.

Ji Dongxiao smiled and replied, ”My guess is they’ll be here shortly.”

At that moment, Gao Jiong strode over briskly, saluted with clasped fists, and said, ”Your Highness, Elder Nie Feng from Great Spirit Rock Peak has arrived.”

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand and said, ”Refuse them all on my behalf; I will not see any Elders from the Four Great Sects.”

”Yes.” Gao Jiong turned and left without hesitation.

Ji Dongxiao glanced over and quickly followed.

He intended to maneuver the situation a bit, not to speak too bluntly, for fear of offending the Elders of the Four Great Sects.

Gao Lingfeng looked helpless.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”Do you think they’re all angry, Mr. Gao?”

”They won’t get angry this time,” Gao Lingfeng said. ”If it were just one sect’s Elder, they’d naturally be angry, but seeing that you refused them all, they won’t be as upset.”

That’s just how people are.

Seeing that the other three sects’ Elders were also unequivocally refused by His Highness, rather than being singled out, it shows His Highness is quite impartial.

This impartiality isn’t aimed solely at them, so naturally, they harbor less resentment.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”Mr. Gao, you’re overthinking it.”

Gao Lingfeng furrowed his brows tightly, looking serious and solemn, making Chu Zhiyuan want to laugh.

Gao Lingfeng smiled wryly, ”Such actions will offend everyone.”

”If it offends, so be it,” Chu Zhiyuan laughed. ”The Martial Arts Hall never was my hall, but the Court’s. If I favored them, I’d offend my Imperial Grandfather and the entire Court.”

”...You’re wise, my lord,” Gao Lingfeng solemnly saluted with clasped fists.

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand, ”Let’s not concern ourselves with them; let’s eat.”

The struggle for the Da Jing imperial throne is unlike the power struggles of past dynasties.

You can’t use the same old tactics; winning over people’s hearts is useless; achievement is key, with the Great Grandmaster as the foundation.

Once I become a Great Grandmaster, combined with the Martial Arts Hall and one camp of the Imperial Army, it should suffice.

Martial Arts experts are just the icing on the cake, serving little purpose for me.

——

Below Yao Yue Peak.

Chu Zhiyuan stood with his hands behind his back, while two Heavenly Dragon Divine Horses were already drinking by the brook, occasionally lapping up small fish with their tongues.

Leaving Yujing and arriving at the foot of Yao Yue Peak, he immediately felt the vastness around him, his mood brightening.

Yujing had become somewhat oppressive, and he didn’t like it.

Pressures were surging from all directions, all vying to squeeze into the Martial Arts Hall, more fiercely than imagined.

Prince Mansion, State Duke Mansion, and the residences of Earls and Marquises, as well as various dignitaries, all flocked to Prince Qing Mansion.

In addition, the Four Great Sects and various martial arts factions were desperately sending in cards or invitations.

He found himself unable to find peace.

Amidst the fluttering of sleeves, Xiao Ruoling appeared, alone, wearing white as snow, unsullied.

Like a fairy descending to the mortal world under the moon.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled as he watched Xiao Ruoling.

After a month of not seeing each other, Xiao Ruoling looked even more beautiful and radiant, like a white jade beauty under the sun.

Xiao Ruoling drifted down beside Chu Zhiyuan, her deep and captivating eyes fixed intently on him, her gaze like water.

Chu Zhiyuan reached his hand to take her jade-like hand, warm and soft, and said with a smile, ”The Taiyin Great Refining Form is indeed profound.”

Her transformation was a result of the Taiyin Great Refining Form.

Xiao Ruoling smiled with pursed lips, ”The Taiyin Great Refining Form is indeed profound, even surpassing my Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman Technique.”

”Can the two coexist?”

”They perfectly complement each other,” Xiao Ruoling said. ”Without the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman Technique, the Taiyin Great Refining Form wouldn’t progress so quickly.”

Chu Zhiyuan sent a thread of Gang Qi into her body to assist with more clear and thorough Insight.

After a moment, Chu Zhiyuan praised, ”Indeed, the two are complementary, such profound skills!”

Xiao Ruoling quietly gazed at him and softly said, ”Your Highness, you’ve had a rough time recently, haven’t you?”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”You’ve heard about it?”

”My master mentioned it,” Xiao Ruoling said. ”The Martial Arts Hall is of great importance, everyone’s eyeing this piece of meat, making life difficult for you, full of troubles.”

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”Just don’t pay attention.”

Xiao Ruoling suggested, ”Why not stay here for a while to avoid the storm?”

Once His Highness leaves Yujing, the Martial Arts Hall will also cease operations.

This would make them understand the consequences, realizing not to push His Highness too far, for if he is pushed too far, the Martial Arts Hall will be stopped.

The Martial Arts Hall is His Highness’s alone; if he’s pushed to walk away, everyone will end up with nothing.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”Me, a man, can enter Yao Yue Palace?”

”Yao Yue Palace has a Guest Peak,” Xiao Ruoling softly said. ”It’s opposite the mountain peak.”

She gently pointed at the opposite mountain, ”It’s usually unoccupied, an empty peak.”

Yao Yue Palace generally doesn’t allow men to stay, and women don’t need the Guest Peak.

So the Guest Peak is virtually empty.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Will it affect you?”

Xiao Ruoling lightly shook her head, ”I’m currently the Holy Daughter; the Holy Daughter has privileges, not to mention our relationship is different.”

If it were an ordinary man and woman, or simply lovers, keeping a man at the Guest Peak of Yao Yue Palace would be inappropriate, fearing damage to the palace’s reputation.

But Chu Zhiyuan and Xiao Ruoling were engaged, truly betrothed, so staying at the Guest Peak was justifiable, not damaging to the reputation.

Chu Zhiyuan pondered, ”It’s likely that a Great Grandmaster will come to kill me.”

”A Great Grandmaster from the Evil Sect?”

”They have always sought an opportunity to kill me.”

Originally motivated by revenge, but now it’s not just revenge, it’s hatred.

Destroying me would have a significant impact on Da Jing.

Xiao Ruoling said, ”I’ll have a Great Grandmaster from Yao Yue Palace protect the Guest Peak.”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, ”If a Great Grandmaster from the Evil Sect came, and resulted in the fall of a Great Grandmaster from Yao Yue Palace, it would be my great sin.”

Xiao Ruoling chuckled softly, ”You’re underestimating Yao Yue Palace; while outside there’s a possibility a Great Grandmaster could fall, within Yao Yue Palace, a Great Grandmaster cannot possibly fall.”

”Oh—?”

”Rest assured and settle down.”

”...Alright, then I’ll stay.” Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”Huang Envoy.”

Huang Cheng suddenly flickered into view not far away, saluting with clasped fists, ”Your Highness.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”I will be staying here for a month; please notify the Prince Mansion.”

Huang Cheng smiled, saluted, and disappeared in a flash.

Xiao Ruoling’s deep eyes glowed as she took his hand, soaring lightly, skimming over the treetops, landing halfway up the opposite mountain.

Pavilions and halls were built along the mountainside, blending into the mountains and forests.

Courtyards were scattered harmoniously, simple and elegant within.

Chu Zhiyuan selected a courtyard, located at the edge of the woods, right by the cliff’s edge.

The courtyard faced south, with a few pine trees outside the gate, the south wind gently blowing, while the north wind was blocked.
