Chapter 549 Don't worry, even if the martial arts tournament is brought forward, it won't

Yuwen Cheng gently stroked his chin with his fingertips and slowly opened his mouth.

"Regarding Zixiao Temple and the Voodoo Cult, I've heard my father mention an old grudge. It's said that many years ago, the female leader of the Voodoo Cult personally went to Zixiao Temple and, in front of many disciples at the mountain gate, denounced Master Yinian as... a heartless man."

He paused, a hint of regret in his voice.

"Although Master Yinian did not say much at the time, but only ordered his disciples to drive her away, this matter was undoubtedly a great disgrace to the Zixiao Temple. Since then, whenever the disciples of Zixiao Temple encountered people from the Witchcraft Cult while traveling outside, they would most likely have a conflict."

"The trigger for this incident is said to be that several disciples of Zixiao Temple encountered members of the Voodoo Cult while on a training expedition. As a result, one disciple of Zixiao Temple was killed on the spot, and another was kidnapped by the Voodoo Cult, whose fate remains unknown."

Yuwen Cheng's voice trailed off.

"This matter thoroughly enraged the entire Zixiao Temple. With old and new grudges piled up, they spared no effort to unite with the righteous path of the martial arts world, vowing to eradicate the Witchcraft Cult, avenge their past humiliation, and avenge their disciples."

"Father Cheng, do you know who these Zixiao Temple disciples who were killed and kidnapped are?"

Bai Yue frowned and asked, "If we could find out the disciples' identities, we might be able to figure out the true intentions of the Voodoo Cult from the side."

"The letter didn't go into details, only mentioning that he was a 'capable disciple'."

Yuwen Cheng shook his head, his tone tinged with helplessness.

"I'm afraid my senior sister and I will have to go to Zixiao Temple ourselves to get the details..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yuwen Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of a good idea. He quickly moved closer to Bai Yue and whispered his suggestion.

"My lady! If you really want to figure out the intricacies and the truth behind this, why not send... 'him' back to take a look?"

As he spoke, he glanced meaningfully at Ling Xuzi, who stood silently to the side, and lowered his voice even further.

"He is none other than Master Xuanji, the rightful head of the Zixiao Temple! If he goes back, he will surely be able to get to the bottom of what happened!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention immediately focused on Ling Xuzi.

Returning as the sect leader would allow him to legitimately investigate the truth, ease the situation with his status, and perhaps even persuade the Zixiao Temple to postpone its offensive against the Voodoo Cult—a win-win situation.

However, Ling Xuzi, who was being watched by everyone, immediately shook his head without the slightest hesitation on his face.

He stepped forward, bowed deeply to Bai Yue, and spoke with a firm tone that even carried a hint of imperceptible pleading.

“Master, I am A-Da. I do not know any Ling Xuzi, nor am I the head of Zixiao Temple. My only duty has always been to protect you.”

His words completely severed his connection to the identity of "Master Xuanji," as if that past identity was nothing more than an insignificant memory.

"Don't worry, since I've agreed to let you come along, I naturally won't send you away, nor will I make you do anything you don't want to do."

Bai Yue reached out and gently patted his shoulder. The warmth of her palm carried a soothing power, gradually relaxing Ling Xuzi's tense back.

Then, she raised her head, her gaze sweeping over everyone in the courtyard. Her eyes gradually became sharp and firm, and an aura that could not be underestimated emanated from her.

"Don't worry, even if the martial arts tournament is brought forward, it won't affect me in any way. I must fight for the position of martial arts alliance leader, and I must win it!"

Bai Yue spoke with great pride and ambition, as if the position of martial arts alliance leader was already in his grasp.

However, Yuwen Cheng, who was listening nearby, touched his nose somewhat awkwardly and offered a subtle reminder.

"Xiaoyue, I absolutely support your ambition! But... as you know, the martial arts tournament is full of hidden talents and masters from all walks of life. In the end, the position of martial arts leader will depend on strength. I wonder how your martial arts skills are progressing?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yue smiled confidently and said loudly.

"Don't worry, Father Cheng! I have recently devoted myself to studying various martial arts styles and, combined with the moves I have learned before, I have created my own 'For the People Sword Technique'! This sword technique combines the strengths of many schools and integrates them seamlessly. Once it is used, it will surely be invincible!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand and gestured the starting stance of a sword flourish. Lu Wangyou looked at her like this, a gentle smile appearing in her eyes, and softly echoed her.

"I believe in Sister Yue's abilities. This 'Sword Technique for the People' will surely shine at the Martial Arts Tournament."

"But player, your weakness period doesn't seem to be over yet. Even if you've mastered the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Yang Divine Art to the maximum level, if you can't use it, it's still useless, isn't it?"

Xiao 1 didn't hold back and directly poured cold water on Bai Yue.

"Hmph, even if I can't use my martial arts skills, I can still project an imposing aura. Besides, I've already drawn up a complete plan, waiting for the day of the martial arts tournament..."

Before Bai Yue could finish speaking, Yuwen Yi's eyes darted around, and a sly smile immediately appeared on his face as he moved closer to her.

"My wife has created such a powerful sword technique? I am so curious! How about... we spar right now? Let me witness your skill and see if you are truly as invincible as you say!"

Bai Yue shook her head and refused without even thinking.

"No, I haven't fully recovered yet, it's not advisable for me to resort to violence!"

But Yuwen Yi didn't care about any of that. He suddenly reached out and scooped her up in his arms! His arms firmly supported her knees and back, his strength carrying an unyielding force.

"Hey! Yuwen Yi, what are you doing!"

Bai Yue instinctively reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, struggling to move.

"Put me down! There are so many people watching!"

Yuwen Yi hugged her even tighter and whispered something in her ear with a grin.

"Why be so modest, my wife? This 'sparring' doesn't need to involve any real fighting. Come on, let's go to the room and have a proper 'sparring'! I promise you'll have a great time!"

The ambiguous meaning in the other person's words was blatantly obvious. Then he turned to Lu Wangyou, who was standing to the side, and said...

"Brother Lu! I'd be so grateful if you could be the referee for us! If I accidentally hurt Xiaoyue, with your amazing medical skills there, you can take care of her in time, right?"

As Bai Yue heard his words becoming increasingly outrageous, she reached out to pinch his arm.

However, Yuwen Yi suddenly lowered his head and precisely captured her lips. The moment their lips touched, his playful smile vanished, leaving only an intense and unyielding tenderness.
