C5 Jade Palace's Second and Third Affairs

"Xiaoqi!"

After leaving the room of the Snow Qilin, Qi Qiqi walked towards the main hall, but she was stopped by someone on her way.

"Hmm?"

Qi Qiqi stopped in her tracks and looked in the direction of the sound.

The person who had called out to her appeared from the shadows of the tree. It was a woman in her early twenties.

Her fiery red hair was tied into a long ponytail, and her stern face made her look very refined. She was wearing a tight suit with charcoal dust on it.

"So it's you, Ms. Ting!" Qi Qiqi seemed to be a little happy.

In a public place, both Qi Qiqi and Lee Wantinging would call each other by their nicknames, but in private, they would address each other by nicknames. This meant that they were on good terms with each other.

"That..." Lee Wanting glanced at the tall building not far away. After the Morning Snow Tower, she asked, "Have you settled the young master?"

The Morning Snow Tower was the residence of all the previous sect masters and grandteachers. Although that was the case, it did not take up a lot of space nor was it luxurious. It was built in a unique style.

"Yes, uh, settled down."

Qi Qiqi's eyes were a little unfocused, and this did not escape Lee Wanting's eyes.

"Hmm? Little Qi, you didn't do anything rude to the young master, did you?"

"How, how is that possible!?"

"Did you do something to him?"

"No, I didn't make a move! I only punched her once."

Qi Qiqi, who felt uncomfortable being stared at, quickly turned her gaze away and subconsciously rubbed the corner of her clothes.

"I knew it from the very beginning... That little grandteacher looked so mysterious. How could you endure it..." Lee Wanting knocked Qi Qiqi on the head and changed her tone." Lee Wanting's expression changed as she said this, But she is still our martial ancestor. She is the leader of a sect!"

"I... I know!"

Qi Qiqi touched the place where she was knocked with tears in her eyes and replied humbly.

"That's more like it."

Lee Wanting smiled and tousled Qi Qiqi's hair.

"Stop touching!" Qi Qiqi unhappily pushed Lee Wanting's hand away.

"Seriously, my hairstyle is going to be messed up!"

"How cold!" Lee Wantinging seemed to have suddenly thought of something and asked with ill intentions, "By the way, who did you find to help you clean up your mess?"

"Senior Sister Lo." Qi Qiqi's face froze.

"Sigh, did you throw the mess to Lo Qing again?"

"What can I do?! Senior Sister Lo's gentle and amiable personality is suitable for dealing with that bastard!"

"Hahaha, you called the young grandteacher a bastard. If you were to be heard by that old fellow, Lau Chengzong, you would definitely be lectured."

"Don't worry, I acted very well in front of Elder Liu."

"However, you still broke through today!"

Qi Qiqi, who had seemed quite confident, froze with a smile when she heard Lee Wanting's words.

"It's all that bastard's fault!"

When she thought about how the Xue Qilin made her curse in front of everyone, Qi Qiqi almost gritted her teeth into pieces.

"However, this little ancestor's temper is probably quite good. You actually managed to retreat unharmed after hitting her."

This question was no longer a problem. Qi Qiqi's expression instantly became strange.

"What's wrong? Isn't it so?"

"I don't know either. I knocked her out with one punch..."

"It can't be?"

Qi Qiqi nodded her head in embarrassment.

Lee Wanting said sarcastically with an "I'm going to faint."

"You sure are capable! You actually threw this mess, which could not be any worse, to Lo Qing and then ran away by yourself."

"Isn't there nothing I can do? I don't know why, but the moment I said a few words to the young master, I couldn't help but want to hit her!"

Qi Qiqi's current reaction was that of giving up on herself.

"No matter what, when the young master wakes up, you must apologize!"

"I know!"

"But then again, did you really knock her unconscious with one punch? Did you use all your strength?"

"How could I use all my strength!"

"Then, how did I knock you unconscious?"

Lee Wanting's reaction reminded Qi Qiqi.

At the very least, she was of the same generation as her Great Grand Master, the Great Grand Master of the Heavenly Jade Palace.

Great-grandfather had said that the Little Ancestor had been in seclusion since she was young. From the point of view of the fact that no one in Heavenly Jade Palace knew about her existence, it could be seen that she had been in seclusion for at least eighty years. In other words, her little grandteacher, who looked like a child, was in fact over eighty years old, and had cultivated to the age of youth.

Martial cultivators were divided into four realms: Human, Earth, Heaven, and Grandmaster. Above this, there was also the dream immortal realm, the rejuvenation of youth. Only those at Heaven Stage could do it.

As far as he was concerned, the cultivation base of this young Martial Ancestor had to be at least at the Heaven Stage.

How could a cultivator at the Heaven Stage be knocked unconscious by an Earth Stage cultivator like her? The more Qi Qiqi thought about it, the more she found it strange.

"What's wrong?" Lee Wanting asked in surprise.

Qi Qiqi nodded and told her what she was thinking.

"Little Qi, are you suspecting the identity of the young master?"

"There's nothing to doubt about her identity. After all, she has Great-grandfather's jade pendant in her hand and has just walked out of the Sword Tomb. It won't be easy for her to accomplish these two things at the same time!"

Although it was possible that he might accidentally obtain the jade pendant, the Sword Tomb's Sword Tomb's Sword Array was not a joke. In the entire world, perhaps only the great experts of the Zongshi realm would be able to pass through without being injured.

"So, are you doubting the strength of the Little Martial Ancestor?"

"It can't be said that I'm doubting. It's just that it's a bit strange! Moreover, how much of her strength is also quite important."

In the martial world, winning or losing depended on who had the stronger fist. It depended on who made the right decision.

As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy. Only then can you win a hundred battles.

The so-called decision-making was to measure oneself, measure others, and then make the most appropriate choice. In this way, it was quite important to measure one's own strength. If one were to misjudge one's capability, the decision-making would be wrong.

The strength of the Xue Qilin should naturally also be counted as the strength of the Heavenly Jade Palace. Furthermore, it held a considerable amount of power. Therefore, Qi Qiqi had to have a specific understanding of the strength of the Xue Qilin.

"I need to find out more about her," Qi Qiqi asserted.

"Palace Lord, there's no need to waste your time and effort."

Lee Wanting was not the one who said this.

"Oh? Vice Palace Lord Ye has been eavesdropping for so long. Is he finally willing to show up?"

Qi Qiqi mocked as she looked at the figure that suddenly appeared.

"Palace Lord, you are being too serious. I did not hide my aura," Ye Zhen replied expressionlessly.

The aura of a Heaven Stage expert was quite powerful. If one did not hide their aura, even a Human Stage cultivator would be able to sense the existence of the opponent. As an Earth Stage cultivator, Qi Qiqi would naturally be able to sense the existence of the opponent.

In other words, what Ye Zhen meant was that he was not eavesdropping on their conversation, but rather, he was eavesdropping openly.

"This guy is still as annoying as ever."

Lee Wanting moved closer to Qi Qiqi's ear and whispered in disgust. Obviously, she understood what Ye Zhen meant.

"Vice Palace Lord, what do you mean by that? Why did you tell me not to waste my time?" Qi Qiqi asked quietly.

"Because someone has already asked the young ancestor."

"Who is it? When did you ask?" Qi Qiqi was a little surprised.

"When Situ Mu was leading the way, he asked."

Situ Mu was Qi Qiqi's nephew. After Qi Qiqi arranged a room for the young master, she asked him to lead the way for the young master.

"Only that martial arts fanatic would dare to ask that ignorant young master so straightforwardly."

Lee Wanting could not help but laugh out loud as she commented.

As the name implied, Slow-Witted Situ was no different from a blockhead. However, only when it came to martial arts could he be interested in anything related to martial arts.

"Then, what did the young grandteacher say?"

"I don't know."

"How could I not know?"

Was he trying to play me for a fool? Qi Qiqi's expression instantly turned ugly. Since Ye Zhen was able to bring up this matter, he must have known about it for a long time.

"I'm saying that she did not know the answer to Young Master's question."

Hearing Ye Zhen's answer, Qi Qiqi and Lee Wanting looked at each other in dismay.

"How could she not know?"

"I'm not too sure about that," Ye Zhen said without any emotions.

"Could it be that the Little Master Ancestor is really hiding his true strength? Or..."

Qi Qiqi muttered to herself before she was interrupted by Ye Zhen.

"No matter what, we have to understand the strength of the young Grand Master."

"How?" Qi Qiqi asked back in amusement.

"In order to measure a person's strength, there is nothing more effective than a real fight with real weapons."

Even though they were at the same realm, their strength was still uneven. It did not mean that the Heaven Stage and the Heaven Stage could fight to a draw. In the first place, cultivation was not a matter of strength, but of cultivation. Cultivation did not represent strength, it represented only the level of skill, and that was only a part of strength. Besides cultivation, a person's fighting skills and cultivation skills could not be ignored.

"Are you planning to fight with the young grandteacher?"

Ye Zhen took a deep look at Qi Qiqi before turning around and leaving.

After Ye Zhen's figure disappeared, Lee Wanting muttered to herself:

"I still don't like him."

"But he does indeed have the strength to back it up."

Although Qi Qiqi was unwilling, she had no choice but to admit this fact.

"You have to figure out the strength of this young grandteacher as soon as possible. Furthermore, the other party's seniority is obvious. You have to have a good relationship with her!"

Lee Wanting advised her sincerely. What she meant was that she wanted Qi Qiqi to win over the Snow Qilin.

"This..."

"I know that you don't like to start conflicts between the different factions, but it doesn't mean that you can just give up on it. You have to ask Ye Zhen whether he agrees or not."

Qi Qiqi was left speechless.

The Heavenly Jade Palace could now be said to be made of gold on the surface, but rotten on the inside.

The Imperial Court had been restraining itself from the five great sects for a long time, and had always tried to suppress them. However, there just so happened to be some blind and arrogant people who tried to assassinate the emperor, and in the end, they died in the end.

The Assassin Emperor was a taboo that could not be touched.

No matter whether the assassination succeeded or not, the royal court would be furious.

As a result, the result was obvious.

The royal court would vent their anger on the five great sects. The five great sects would not take the blame for sending out an army to fight against the ten thousand men army of the royal court.

In the end, they both lost. However, the five great sects lost.

A group of elite soldiers could succeed in ten years, but a martial arts master would have to spend decades before they could succeed.

From that day, the five great sects had suffered a great blow to their vitality. The Heavenly Jade Palace was suspected to be the head of the five great sects that had organized the Assassin Emperors. The Heavenly Jade Palace bore the brunt of the attack, either dead or scattered. Their losses were also the most severe. No matter how much treasures and divine weapons they lost, they were still items. As long as the person was still alive, everything could still be restored. However, the Heavenly Jade Palace had lost almost all of its elites, and almost all of its experts had died.

If it wasn't for the deterrent force of the previous sect master, Qi Guiyuan, the Heavenly Jade Palace would have probably been removed from the five great sects.

Right now, there were a hundred things to do, and it was a critical moment that concerned the life and death of the Heavenly Jade Palace.

However, ever since the previous Sect Master of the Heavenly Jade Palace, Qi Guiyuan, had been broken into pieces, Qi Qiqi became the next Palace Lord and Ye Zhen became the vice palace lord, the Heavenly Jade Palace did not unite. Instead, it was divided into two factions, the Qi Qiqi Sect and the Ye Zhen Sect.

The former led by Qi Qiqi consisted of the Fourth Elder, Lee Wantinging, and the Fifth Elder, Xia Xue. The latter led by Ye Zhen, who included the deacon, Great Elder, Lau Chengzong, the Second Elder, Yang Yuening, and Sixth Elder, Qin Chen.

The main difference between the two parties was the difference in political opinion, the former aggressive, the latter conservative.

In fact, Qi Qiqi felt rather helpless about the situation. She also wanted everyone in the Heavenly Jade Palace to be united, but she felt that Ye Zhen's method was not feasible, while Ye Zhen felt that her plan was wrong. And so, the two parties fell into an unsolvable antagonism.

That was true, but the balance between the two sides was extremely weak.

Therefore, other than Lo Qing and Zhang Ming, who had shown their neutrality, the position of this young grandmaster was very important.

He actually wants me to get on good terms with that young ancestor? Thinking of this, Qi Qiqi felt disheartened. With the young ancestor's personality, she was not good at dealing with him.
