“Lord West Garrison, please, the Emperor is waiting for you in the palace!”
After Lord West Garrison left, Bai Li Cheng Feng stood alone guarding the gate of the West Garrison Manor.
Su Sheng pulled Bai Li Dong Jun: “Dong Jun, let’s go back!”
“No, I want to find Cloud Brother! I want to find Cloud Brother!”
Bai Li Dong Jun’s eyes were bloodshot after hearing about the Ye family’s self-inflicted deaths. In his heart, Ye Yun was closer than a brother. They had promised to travel the world together with swords in hand!
Su Sheng whispered in Bai Li Dong Jun’s ear: “If you rush out, you’ll never see your Cloud Brother again!”
Bai Li Dong Jun was stunned: “Master...”
Su Sheng pointed outside the door: “Keep crying, let’s talk back in the courtyard!”
Bai Li Dong Jun continued crying as Su Sheng pulled him back into the courtyard. The Grand Supervisor, Zhuo Qing, glanced at Su Sheng’s back: “May I ask, Your Highness, are there guests in the manor?”
Bai Li Cheng Feng gripped his sword and said, “He is the tutor I hired for my son. What? Do you, the Grand Supervisor, need to interfere with such trivial matters?”
“I dare not, I’ll take my leave!”
Zhuo Qing examined Su Sheng, confirming he was just a frail scholar with no martial arts skills, and didn’t pay him any more attention. He turned and left.
Su Sheng returned to the courtyard and only told Bai Li Dong Jun that his family had escaped and Ye Yun was dead.
“Master, I will never learn martial arts again!”
Bai Li Dong Jun seemed to have grown up overnight. He understood that it was Ye Yun’s talent, coupled with the Ye family’s control over the deadly illness, that made the court apprehensive.
Therefore, he decided to become a spoiled, tyrannical young master.
Su Sheng didn’t stop Bai Li Dong Jun because he knew that eventually, Bai Li Dong Jun would return to the world of martial arts!
Lord West Garrison didn’t know what he said to the Emperor, but that night, he ordered his people to pack their belongings and prepare to leave for Qian Dong City with 300,000 members of the Breaking Wind Army and the Bai Li lineage.
Bai Li Cheng Feng: “Father, this time we are going back...”
Lord West Garrison: “We will never return, especially you and Dong Jun. Remember, you can go anywhere in the world, but you can never return to Tian Qi City!”
“Yes!”
Bai Li Cheng Feng also understood the court’s apprehension and helped pack their belongings.
Meanwhile, Lord West Garrison sat in his study, thinking about the path Su Sheng had shown the Bai Li lineage. He felt relieved: “Mr. Su saved the Bai Li lineage!”
The West Garrison Manor was busy packing and preparing to leave.
At the same time, Su Sheng was lying on a reclining chair.
Rui Er, with a resentful look on his face, helped Su Sheng wash his feet.
Su Sheng: “Why are you still sulking? Didn’t we agree that if I could use the Nineteen Sword Styles of the Embroidery Sword to tell the type of sword technique, you would be my servant, washing my feet and warming my bed?”
Rui Er stomped his feet: “But you didn’t become a Sword Immortal!”
“But my disciple, Bai Li Cheng Feng, has already become a Half-Step Sword Immortal!”
Rui Er was speechless and could only lower his head, washing Su Sheng’s feet.
His soft little hands held Su Sheng’s feet, and Su Sheng enjoyed it immensely.
He was completely unaware that because of his casual actions today, the world was already in an uproar.
.
In the North Li Imperial Palace, Emperor Tai An’s eyes were deep: “According to what you said, Bai Li Cheng Feng just broke through the Great Freedom Realm a few days ago. He has now comprehended sword intent and entered the realm of Half-Step Sword Immortal?”
Grand Supervisor Zhuo Qing: “Precisely!”
“Bang!”
“Who on earth has such ability? And why would they help the Bai Li family instead of me? Could it be Mr. Li?”
“It shouldn’t be. The whole of Tian Qi City is talking about it now. Mr. Li went to the West Garrison Manor in person but returned empty-handed.
Moreover, Bai Li Cheng Feng admitted today that his current cultivation is due to his newly-found master!”
“Master? Could it be Li Chang Sheng? No, that’s not right. Li Chang Sheng is the most protective person. If he had taken Bai Li Cheng Feng as his disciple, then when you fought with him today, either Li Chang Sheng or someone from Ji Xia Academy would have intervened!
Continue to investigate and find out the identity of Bai Li Cheng Feng’s master!”
“Yes!”
......
In the Hundred Knowledge Hall, Ji Ruofeng looked at the intelligence in his hand, his face turning pale: “Bai Li Cheng Feng, he actually comprehended sword intent and became a Half-Step Sword Immortal?”
“What? How could he have progressed so quickly? Wasn’t he just in the Great Freedom Realm?”
“This progress is too rapid!”
Ji Ruofeng held the Infinite Stick in his hand: “Bai Li Cheng Feng is leaving Tian Qi City tomorrow. It seems I need to go and meet him!”
......
The next day, the bustling Tian Qi City seemed unchanged.
But early in the morning, several shocking pieces of news were released to the world!
The first news: North Li’s Great General Ye Yu was found guilty of treason. After being discovered, he led his entire family to commit suicide.
Emperor Tai An, in recognition of his contributions to the war, decided to exile the Ye family.
The second news: The Second Prince, Xiao Xie, was named Prince Qing by Emperor Tai An, with a separate residence.
Aside from the Wind Flower Gentleman, Xiao Ruofeng, Prince Qing was the first true prince to receive a title and a separate residence.
The third news was even more shocking to the world!
Lord West Garrison’s son, Bai Li Cheng Feng, comprehended the Supreme Fast Sword intent. After entering the Great Freedom Realm with a single sword, he broke through to become a Half-Step Sword Immortal!
The reason why Lord West Garrison’s son had made such rapid progress recently was because he had a powerful master. This master wasn’t the world’s strongest, Li Chang Sheng, but his methods were no less powerful than Li Chang Sheng, the world’s strongest!
The fourth news:
Lord West Garrison led the Breaking Wind Army and the Bai Li family to leave Tian Qi City today, heading to their fiefdom in Qian Dong City!
These four pieces of news stunned the people of Tian Qi City.
Even the newly-appointed Prince Qing couldn’t sit still.
“Ying Xian, prepare the carriage, we’re going out of the city to see Lord West Garrison off!”
“Your Highness, are you going to find out about Bai Li Cheng Feng’s master?”
“Yes. Bai Li Cheng Feng has mediocre talent, yet he could still enter the Great Freedom Realm and comprehend sword intent with the help of a master. Perhaps I can do the same!
Moreover, the Hundred Knowledge Hall has been unable to find out about Lord West Garrison’s whereabouts recently. They will definitely not let this go. Perhaps there will be some good drama to watch!”
Many shared the same thoughts as Prince Qing.
Even Yue Yao of the Heavenly Beyond Realm packed her things and prepared to leave the city.
Bai Yi: “Miss, are you sure you want to follow Lord West Garrison to Qian Dong City?”
“Yes. Originally, my plan was to meet Lord West Garrison in Tian Qi City, but that was too risky! Going to Qian Dong City is better. Moreover, Zi Yi sent a message some time ago.
The Confucian Immortal who shattered the 10,000 Breaking Wind Army soldiers with a single sword back then is still alive. He’s currently hiding in Qian Dong City. I want to go and visit him. Perhaps I can learn the art of Puppetry from him!
More importantly, I’m very curious about Bai Li Cheng Feng’s master. I have a feeling that the person behind Lord West Garrison might be the key to our restoration!
Let’s go, wait outside the city!”
“Yes!”
