Outside the Qilin Pavilion.

A handsome man in golden robes and armed with a sabre stood up and smiled at Lei Wujie. Lei Wujie also smiled back at him unwittingly. Later, he realized that this man was a stranger and he asked, "Who is this big brother? Are you from Sword Heart Tomb?"

"No, I’m just a passer-by." The man in gold shook his head. "I happened to meet that little girl inside when she was in a rush. Her horse couldn’t run anymore so I gave her a ride."

"In that case, you’re our benefactor." Lei Wujie knelt on one knee. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." The man in gold reached out and helped Lei Wujie up.

"Marquis, I didn't expect to meet you here," a rough voice suddenly sounded. Lei Wujie and the man in gold turned their heads at the same time, and saw Ye Xiaoying, a burly figure carrying twin sabres on his back, who’d appeared without them noticing.

"General." The man in gold was not surprised. He smiled slightly and also noticed Ye Ruoyi standing beside Ye Xiaoying. "My little niece is here too. I haven't seen you in many years. You’ve grown even more beautiful."

Ye Ruoyi bowed slightly. "Greetings to Lanyue Marquis."

"The golden Lanyue Marquis." Lei Wujie was stunned. Naturally, he had also heard the name before. The youngest brother of Mingde Emperor and also the only prince of the previous emperor who was not given a title and territories out of the capital.

"Why is the General-in-chief here?" Lanyue Marquis asked with a smile.

Ye Xiaoying patted Ye Ruoyi on her shoulder. "My daughter was most disobedient. She’s obviously not in good health, yet she’s running about to such dangerous places. I’m here to bring her back."

"With a whole thousand Ye Banner Battalion?" Lanyue Marquis asked mildly.

"I'm training my army. Since when did the Marquis also have a hand in it?" Ye Xiaoying retorted. "I should ask the Marquis instead. What are you doing in Lei Clan Fort instead of staying back in the imperial capital?"

"I came to Jiangnan to relax." Lanyue Marquis raised his head, closed his eyes slightly, and inhaled a breath of air. "Come feel the poetic and artistic flavor of the south, and at the same time, experience the most famous Heroes Banquet under Heaven. As you know, I don’t have any big ambitions. I’m just here to join in the fun."

Ye Xiaoying sneered and did not speak any more. The two people stood quite a distance apart, and although their expressions were very calm, there was a sudden tension between them. Ye Ruoyi knew that her father had never liked this Marquis, but considering a man of the Marquis’s position suddenly appearing in Lei Clan Fort, his reasons were definitely not as simple as enjoying the scenery. Ye Ruoyi thought about it for a moment, and wondered to herself, Does this mean even His Majesty knows Xiao Chuhe is in Lei Clan Fort? Is that why he sent Lanyue Marquis here to bring him back?

"Qianluo-shijie," Lei Wujie suddenly said.

Sikong Qianluo didn’t know what was going on, and she still had a dazed expression on her face. Surprised, she asked, "What… what's wrong?"

"Go tell da-shixiong Xiao Se is about to wake up. Ask him to come here too." Lei Wujie spoke in a light and breezy manner.

Sikong Qianluo nodded. "Oh, okay. Hey, wait… Why are you, the shidi, giving this shijie orders?"

Lei Wujie looked at Sikong Qianluo. His eyes were clear, but also seemed as if he was hiding something. "Sorry to trouble you, shijie. But, my leg is still injured, you see."

"Fine." Sikong Qianluo didn't think about it anymore, turned and walked towards Tang Lian's room. Tang Lian had been resting in his room for the past few days, healing his own injuries. He barely stepped out, but the look in Lei Wujie's eyes just now seemed to harbour a hidden purpose for asking Tang Lian to come here.

Sikong Qianluo had just left, and immediately, the doors of the Qilin Pavilion were pushed open from the inside. Wuxin and Xie Xuan walked out looking exhausted, and stopped short when they saw the situation outside.

"Mister Xie?" Lanyue Marquis was taken aback.

"Oh? Marquis?" Xie Xuan glanced at him meaningfully, then glanced at Ye Xiaoying, and sighed. "I thought we’d finally settled this matter, but now it looks like it’s become complicated again. "

Lanyue Marquis smiled and looked over at the monk, Wuxin, and his brows furrowed involuntarily. Wuxin noticed this subtle movement, and said with dissatisfaction, "Why did you frown when you saw me? Is it because you think I’m more beautiful than you so you’re not happy?"

"Indeed, you’re a handsome young man." Lanyue Marquis was someone who was able to sit at the same level in the imperial court as the most high-ranking person in the Beili Army. When Mingde Emperor visited the Western Regions, he served as Regent of the country. He was a person that was under one man, and above all others. No one had ever been so disrespectful to him before, but he wasn’t annoyed at all. He continued to examine Wuxin’s face closely. "You resemble some old acquaintances of mine."

"My father is Ye Dingzhi. Did you know him?" Wuxin curled his mouth.

"I have long heard of his famous name, but have not had the honour of meeting him in person," Lanyue Marquis replied immediately. "So, you’re the new young Sect Leader of Outerheaven. It’s my fortune to meet you."

"The golden Marquis Lanyue. I have also long heard of your name. The most beautiful man in Heavenly Revelations, am I right?" Wuxin grinned.

Lanyue Marquis was bemused. Naturally, he knew of the rumours on the street, especially in courting houses and gambling dens, but this was the first time he heard someone say it right to his face. Even for him, he had the grace to look a little embarrassed.

"Wuxin, how is Xiao Se?" Ye Ruoyi asked, interrupting the two of them.

"You guys, you’ve really found a treasure. That little lady inside is really a genius doctor." Wuxin put his hands in his sleeves and said, "With just a few needles, she snatched Xiao Se back from the gates of Yama's Hall. It’s just, this little genius doctor has a rather bad temper, so you better be careful when you talk to her."

Xie Xuan thought of what happened earlier and sniggered. "You have indeed found a treasure. To receive the mantle of the Medicine King Xin Baicao at the age of fourteen, she’s so much better than that fake disciple, Sikong Changfeng."

"That's good. Let's go in and take a look at Xiao Se." Ye Xiaoying walked forward.

At this time, Xie Xuan turned slightly and let the man pass. But, Wuxin stood still and blocked half of the entrance, just in front of Lanyue Marquis. Lanyue Marquis was about to take a step, preparing to walk past on the other side, but Ye Xiaoying stepped over him suddenly.

Yet, a figure in red passed between the two of them at that moment and whirled around just past the doors. He pulled out the sword in his hand and stabbed it into the floor right in front of himself. Then, he bit off each word as he said, "Anyone who crosses this sword, kill."

Lei Wujie, who was a little stupid when he first entered the martial world, was always scolded by Xiao Se, calling him an idiot. Lei Wujie, who was kind to everyone, and still humble and polite even in the face of the most ruthless killer. But, right then, his entire temperament had changed.

It was something he had never shown before, imposing and aggressive.

"Hah, looks like the kid has grown up quite a bit." Wuxin grinned.

Ye Xiaoying stopped in his tracks and looked over at Ye Ruoyi. Ye Ruoyi also didn't understand the reason, and shook her head gently.

Lanyue Marquis eyed the Heart sword and asked, "Earlier, I forgot to ask this little brother your identity. I wonder who this little brother is, and why are you not letting us pass?"

"Qinglong." Lei Wujie raised his head and said slowly, "The Four Guardians of Heavenly Revelations, Guardian of the East."
