Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Soon, Dongfang Liren’s sleepy voice came from the main room. “Is something wrong?”

“A chief constable of the Black Office just came over to report that he had heard some news in Jianghu. Qiu Tianhe is preparing to go to Jun Mountain Terrace to duel…”

“Oh… Huh?!”

Dongfang Liren clearly realized what would happen to Qiu Tianhe, who was half a master to Ye Jingtang, if he went to cause trouble after Xuanyuan Chao’s son died. There was immediately the sound of someone getting up and putting on shoes in the room.

Daoist Xuanji was already awake. She got up, put on her clothes, and went outside the room.

Dongfang Liren quickly put on her clothes and walked out of the room. When she saw Daoist Xuanji, she said, “Master, can Qiu Tianhe defeat Xuanyuan Chao?”

Daoist Xuanji tied her belt and deliberated for a moment. “At the same level, the Heaven Equaling Saber can’t defeat the Dragon Slaying Decree and the Eight-Steps Frenzied Blade. In the past, Qiu Tianhe could at most receive three strikes. Now that his strength has improved, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to receive five strikes.”

“What happens after five strikes?”

“If he admits defeat quickly, he still has a chance to get off the stage. If Xuanyuan Chao doesn’t care about martial ethics in the pain of losing his son, he shouldn’t be able to run out of the ten-thousand-square-foot arena.”

“Doesn’t that mean he’s dead for sure?” Dongfang Liren felt that Qiu Tianhe was simply unlucky. He had just been released from the Black Office’s dungeon, but he turned around and bumped into this situation. It would have been better to keep Qiu Tianhe locked up in the capital, delivering food.

Dongfang Liren knew that Ye Jingtang valued friendship. If Qiu Tianhe, who didn’t know anything, were killed by the angry Xuanyuan Chao because he had killed Xuanyuan Hongzhi, Ye Jingtang would definitely feel guilty. So she quickly walked out of the courtyard.

Ye Jingtang lived in the guest courtyards outside the prince’s estate like the accompanying officials of the Six Ministries.

Because Ye Jingtang had female family members with him, Dongfang Liren had made very thoughtful arrangements. He had a single private courtyard with no one else staying around it, so no one would be able to hear what he did at night.

Dongfang Liren lightly jumped onto the roof with the tip of her toes and moved along a straight line through the enormous Prince of Wu Estate. She could see a few old officials doing morning exercises in a few guest courtyards. The light in Ye Jingtang’s courtyard was on, and he looked like he had woken up.

Dongfang Liren arrived at the courtyard wall and was about to call out when she heard a sound from the main room.

Then the door opened, and Ye Jingtang, who was wearing a robe, walked out of the room. “Why is Your Highness here so early? What’s the matter?”

Dongfang Liren landed under the eaves. She instinctively wanted to tell him the news she had just received, but she subconsciously glanced inside the room. Unfortunately, it was the outer room, so she couldn’t see how many girls were in the bedroom…

Last night, Ye Jingtang had tasted the big peaches presented by Ning’er and Third Lady and had slept a little too soundly. He had just woken up and hadn’t even tidied up the messy battlefield. How could he let Dumdum see it? He immediately raised his hand to protect her and walked out. “Ning’er isn’t awake yet. Let’s go to the corridor to talk.”

“Hmph!”

Dongfang Liren suppressed her distracting thoughts and walked into the corridor with him. “I just received news that Qiu Tianhe is going to Jun Mountain Terrace to compete for the title of Saber Chief. Qiu Tianhe was suddenly released. Jun Mountain Terrace must know that you contributed and have a family friendship. You just killed Xuanyuan Hongzhi. Now, Qiu Tianhe is going to challenge his father to a one-on-one battle…”

?

Ye Jingtang paused and turned around. “Did he already go?”

“It doesn’t sound like it yet, but the talk is everywhere. It’ll be in the next two days.”

“Two days…” Ye Jingtang rubbed his forehead and felt that something was wrong. He thought for a moment and said, “I’ll set off immediately to see if I can catch up to Qiu Tianhe—”

“You just killed someone from Jun Mountain Terrace. If you go to Jun Mountain Terrace now, won’t you be walking into a trap? Why don’t 1 send a message to Jun Mountain Terrace…”

“Weapons have no eyes. Qiu Tianhe is taking the initiative to go to the arena, which is equivalent to signing a life-and-death contract. If Xuanyuan Chao holds back, it’s because he adheres to martial ethics. If he really kills him and says that it was an accident afterward, the government will have no reason to punish him severely.

“The government can’t contact Qiu Tianhe for the time being. When he steps into Jun Mountain Terrace, he won’t be able to escape. 1 know my limits. I’ll come back immediately after stopping Qiu Tianhe.”

Dongfang Liren was ultimately still worried. After some thought, she said, “I’ll ask Master to follow you. With Master behind you, at least Xuanyuan Chao won’t be able to kill you. It’s better to be safe than sorry.”

Ye Jingtang considered himself quite powerful, but he still felt a little unconfident against the Saber Chief, who had been famous in Jianghu for decades. He didn’t decline the good intentions.. After speaking, he returned to his room to pack his clothes…
