Chapter 778: Chapter 774: Qingwu

Chu Zhiyuan’s face darkened slightly.

Both women are Venerables, Fu Zheng is alright, but Li Yuzhen is a Spirit Guard.

She has rich combat experience; to injure her, it would take not only a Venerable but a strong one among the Venerables.

Is this Young Marquis Ming that formidable?

He called out loudly: ”Xiao Zheng.”

The sound transmitted directly to the adjacent courtyard, where Fu Zheng was practicing sword training. Hearing the voice, her expression changed.

Her beautiful face turned slightly pale.

Her face was already like mutton fat jade, making it hard to notice the paleness.

But she knew she couldn’t hide it from Chu Zhiyuan.

She had long been impressed by Chu Zhiyuan’s keen eyes.

She went to Chu Zhiyuan’s courtyard reluctantly, and saluted: ”Your Highness.”

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at her: ”What was the result?”

”Sister Li taught Young Marquis Ming a lesson.”

”Defeated Young Marquis Ming?”

”Yes, Young Marquis Ming’s cultivation was inferior to Sister Li’s, so he was defeated easily.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly: ”Then what’s the matter with your injury?”

”I encountered another person,” Fu Zheng frowned lightly: ”Young Marquis Ming’s sister.”

Chu Zhiyuan asked, ”Who?”

”Young Marquis Ming’s sister, a true disciple of the Qingwu Sword Sect, just returned to the city.”

”Qingwu Sword Sect!” Chu Zhiyuan exclaimed: ”To think there is such a connection.”

”Young Marquis Ming returned this time also because of his sister’s return.”

”She’s very formidable?” Chu Zhiyuan asked: ”Qingwu Sword Sect is just one of the Four Great Sects, are they that formidable?”

”She just returned from the Outer Realm Battlefield.” Fu Zheng shook her head: ”Her swordsmanship is sharp and very frightening!”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded thoughtfully.

That explains it.

Fu Zheng said, ”She has quite a connection with Sister Li, too; they grew up together.”

”Is there any enmity?”

”No real hatred, but there’s hidden rivalry,” Fu Zheng said: ”To provoke Sister Li, she attacked me first, and after injuring me, Sister Li took action out of anger.”

”Yuzhen also got injured?”

”They both ended up injured, she didn’t get any advantage either.”

”Interesting,” Chu Zhiyuan said: ”So, this Young Marquis Ming has found support?”

”Yes,” Fu Zheng nodded helplessly, ”There’s no way to easily discipline Young Marquis Ming now.”

Chu Zhiyuan asked, ”What did Young Marquis Ming say?”

”He said he was framed,” Fu Zheng said, ”he never said those things.”

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled.

Fu Zheng said, ”From the way Young Marquis Ming spoke, it didn’t seem fake.”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: ”It seems this Young Marquis Ming is not as straightforward as rumored.”

”Your Highness means he’s lying?”

”It’s obvious,” Chu Zhiyuan said: ”He hadn’t returned all this time, and now he’s back because his sister is back to support him, right?”

”Is that so?” Fu Zheng was startled.

She never considered that.

She just thought Young Marquis Ming was deeply attached to his sister, having a good relationship, and couldn’t wait to come back upon hearing about her return.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”To understand the world deeply, there’s one crucial point.”

”What is it?”

”Do not overestimate human nature,” Chu Zhiyuan said: ”Always assume the worst intentions in people as much as possible.”

Fu Zheng smiled wryly.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”It seems we no longer need to worry about Young Marquis Ming, ... but this Miss Fan is indeed trouble.”

Young Marquis Ming’s name was Fan Yaohui, so his sister naturally also bore the surname Fan.

Fu Zheng immediately realized, quickly asking: ”Will she cause trouble for Your Highness?”

”Do you think she will?”

”... Probably not,” Fu Zheng said: ”I think this Miss Fan seems quite good, appearing well-behaved; she only acted forcefully because she’s been competing with Sister Li since childhood.”

Chu Zhiyuan looked at her helplessly.

Fu Zheng was puzzled.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: ”Xiao Zheng, your biggest problem is overestimating people’s hearts.”

Fu Zheng said: ”Your Highness, you’ll know once you meet her, she’s very obedient.”

”Her obedient appearance is useless; her actions aren’t that well-behaved,” Chu Zhiyuan said: ”If she was truly well-behaved, would she hurt you to provoke Yuzhen into acting?”

Fu Zheng said: ”Perhaps because their enmity runs too deep.”

”If you were in her place, would you hurt someone you don’t know just to provoke an opponent?”

Fu Zheng shook her head.

She admitted she couldn’t do it; she’d feel guilty and be unable to lay a hand on someone.

Chu Zhiyuan snorted.

Fu Zheng hesitated: ”Could it truly be as the rumors say, that she’s just outwardly obedient, but behaves erratically?”

”Even if not erratic, she’s not a good person,” Chu Zhiyuan said: ”Her swordsmanship is astounding?”

”The Qingwu Sword Sect’s swordsmanship is indeed exquisite and formidable,” Fu Zheng sighed: ”It was eye-opening; their reputation is well-deserved.”

She didn’t previously hold too much reverence for the Four Great Sects of the Phoenix Dynasty.

She believed that as a Venerable herself, she wouldn’t fear meeting a disciple of the Four Great Sects or being outmatched.

But now she had to admit that the Qingwu Sword Sect’s swordsmanship was indeed a marvel, far surpassing the Green Bamboo Sword Technique.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed: ”Is her swordsmanship that strong? ... You can’t surpass her?”

Fu Zheng responded without hesitation: ”In the short term, I cannot surpass her in swordsmanship.”

This issue had been on her mind constantly.

After much pondering, she had to concede that the Qingwu Sword Sect’s swordsmanship was indeed superior.

Even though she had practiced her Green Bamboo Sword Technique to a high level, her comprehension wasn’t deep enough, and her skill lacked maturity.

To surpass her would take at least a year.

And a year later, she might be even more formidable, so she might still not be able to surpass her.

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”The Qingwu Divine Sword of the Qingwu Sword Sect is indeed unparalleled, but mastering its essence is not easy.”

”Miss Fan’s perception is astonishing; she must have comprehended its essence,” Fu Zheng said: ”Just as I had a stroke of luck, she must have one too.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

In this world, there truly are exceptionally talented individuals, but most require external stimuli.

Fu Zheng said: ”Your Highness, I must cultivate diligently now and cannot slack off anymore.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: ”Then focus on your cultivation, I won’t be going out recently either.”

Fu Zheng said: ”If she comes knocking... she also shares a friendship with the princess.”

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand: ”Just refuse to see her.”

Fu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said solemnly: ”I will catch up to her.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: ”With your aptitude, you can catch up to her.”

Fu Zheng quickly nodded vigorously.

Once Chu Zhiyuan let her leave, Li Yuzhen came over.

She appeared apologetic.

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand, indicating she needn’t worry.

He hadn’t received news of this Miss Fan returning from the Outer Realm Battlefield.

The information he had only noted that Young Marquis Ming’s sister was a cultivation genius who had already entered the Outer Realm Battlefield.

But nobody expected that she would return from the Outer Realm Battlefield at this crucial moment.

Li Yuzhen said: ”Prince Consort, she’s injured; she won’t come to the door soon.”

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled: ”She truly won’t come?”

Li Yuzhen nodded solemnly.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

He had already seen several guards and maids surrounding a beautiful young girl approaching lightly outside the gate of the Twelve Dukes’ Mansions.

She had already arrived at the mansion’s entrance, with a maid carrying a card stepping forward to pay a visit.

Chu Zhiyuan speculated that this sweet and charming girl was most likely Miss Fan.

As she wore a green gauze robe, with a tree embroidered at the corner of her sleeve.
