Martial Master

“Hongchen, I have already notified them inside, please follow me.”

Under Qingya’s guidance, Ji Hongchen immediately walked into the core area. Moments later, the two stopped in front of a courtyard.

“Hongchen, please wait here. You Qianxue is currently cultivating; I have already informed her, and she will be here shortly.” After saying this, Qingya withdrew once again.

Not long after she left.

“Master?”

A clear and melodious voice rang out.

Ji Hongchen turned around and saw a graceful white figure glide in from a distance, landing lightly in front of the courtyard. This was a woman dressed in white, her figure lithe and elegant, standing tall like a pure white lotus emerging unsullied from the mud, or like a secluded orchid after rain in a mountain, fresh and unworldly! It was You Qianxue.

“Master, why are you here?”

You Qianxue looked at Ji Hongchen with suspicion. Years ago, in the Northern Sky Domain, she had been brought to the Enforcement Hall branch by Ji Rumoon, where she met Ji Hongchen. At that time, Ji Hongchen recognized her talent and took her as a disciple, bringing her to the Piao Miao Palace, thus beginning a new chapter in her life.

However, after joining the Piao Miao Palace, Ji Hongchen rarely visited her. One reason was that it was too troublesome; even if Ji Hongchen wanted to see You Qianxue, it wasn't a simple matter and required various notifications. Another reason was that she was too busy; You Qianxue practiced in the Piao Miao Palace every day, while Ji Hongchen naturally had her own matters to attend to.

But today, Ji Hongchen surprisingly came specifically to see her, which made You Qianxue a bit astonished.

“Let’s go inside to talk.” Ji Hongchen said lightly.

“Understood.” With her current status, You Qianxue no longer needed to overly consider Ji Hongchen’s thoughts, but due to her character, she would never do something like turning against someone who had helped her.

Once inside the courtyard, Ji Hongchen didn’t speak immediately but quickly took out some array plates and set them in the void. Instantly, an invisible array light enveloped, isolating them from external prying eyes. After completing this, Ji Hongchen cast several prohibitory powers to conceal their surroundings.

Outside the core area, the stone sculpture revealed a hint of confusion: “Hmm? Why is that courtyard isolated? That Ji family little brat has decent prohibition abilities, but what is she doing here in the core area that she fears being spied on? Does she not want me to know?”

“Heh, if you don’t want me to know, I still must know. That Qianxue is crucial to the future of my Demon Tribe.”

Immediately, an invisible force spread out, transforming into ethereal fluctuations that slowly seeped into the prohibition.

At this moment, in the courtyard.

“Master, what are you doing?” You Qianxue looked at the scene with confusion.

Ji Hongchen remained silent, only taking out the Qiankun Transformational Jade Disk. As soon as the jade disk appeared, You Qianxue’s eyes widened in shock, her expression turning astonished and excited. “This... this is…”

Buzz!

From the jade pendant, unique prohibitory powers suddenly emanated, reinforcing the surrounding prohibitions, leaving You Qianxue in a daze.

“This jade disk, Master, you…” she stammered, trembling in disbelief.

“Master came here this time specifically to bring someone to meet you.” Ji Hongchen said with a smile.

“Who is it…”

You Qianxue trembled all over, her expression extremely tense.

Yes, tense.

“Qianxue, it’s me!”

In the next moment, a magnetic voice rang out, and then a figure suddenly appeared in the courtyard.

Qianxue’s face revealed extreme shock. She stared blankly at Qin Chen, unable to speak—not that she couldn’t say anything, but she could only stare at Qin Chen, as if she were frozen.

“Qianxue?” Ji Hongchen wondered, what was going on? Upon seeing Qin Chen, why did Qianxue not react at all?

Yet, Qin Chen remained silent; he merely gazed tenderly at Qianxue, knowing that she needed time.
