Ink panel: Hunting the sun and surveying the sky from the bow.

Su Qiaoqiao gathered a powerful force in her palm. In the blink of an eye, she was within a short distance of Shen Qing, approaching Shen Qing's vital points. Her speed was so fast that it was shocking.

Seeing that Shen Qing still looked unmoved, Su Qiaoqiao's lips curled up into a smile.

He is the number one in the Jingluan Society, but he is just like this.

The move she used now was the Frost Shadow Palm, which she had practiced for many years.

Although this move will not take a person's life, it can penetrate into the bone marrow, freeze the opponent's spiritual power, and make the opponent surrender.

This is a good opportunity to teach him a lesson, so that he won't become ignorant of his own limitations.

However, just when Su Qiaoqiao's palm was only an inch away from Shen Qing's chest and was about to touch that warm skin in the next moment, an accident occurred.

Her palm seemed to have hit an invisible and tough wall. No matter how hard she tried, she could not move forward even a little bit.

The barrier seemed to contain tremendous power, isolating Su Qiaoqiao's attack and leaving it motionless.

This sudden change made Su Qiaoqiao's eyes flash with a hint of surprise.

But she was a veteran after all, so her surprise only lasted for a moment.

"little tricks!"

Su Qiaoqiao snorted coldly, and she mobilized all the spiritual power in her body and poured it into her palms.

The palm that was originally glowing with cold light now shone even brighter and became dazzling.

Her palms were covered in a layer of frost.

She exerted force again, and with the flow of light, she tried to break through the barrier on Shen Qing's body with even more powerful force.

The barrier remained motionless, and she could hardly move forward.

Su Qiaoqiao was completely stunned.

In fact, if she had concentrated her spirit, she would definitely be able to see that there was another "Shen Qing" in front of her, clamping her wrist tightly and making her unable to move.

Shen Qing was a head taller than Su Qiaoqiao. He looked down at her and said calmly, "Miss Su, this is not the way to entertain guests."

"Ok?"

Before Shen Qing finished his words, an unprecedented powerful pressure suddenly descended upon Su Qiaoqiao.

The pressure was so heavy that Su Qiaoqiao's body trembled and her legs even felt weak.

She felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on her shoulders, forcing them to sink down involuntarily and lower their head little by little.

The strength of this force was beyond her imagination.

Su Qiaoqiao felt an unprecedented fear in her heart, which made her even doubt her own cultivation.

She raised her head with difficulty and looked at Shen Qing.

The latter was staring at her with a half-smile, which made her scalp tingle.

Shen Qing moved his fingers slightly, and an invisible and sharp soul thorn silently rushed into Su Qiaoqiao's sea of ​​consciousness.

boom!
Su Qiaoqiao groaned, her mind felt as if it was hit hard by an invisible hammer. A sharp pain erupted from the depths of her soul and instantly swept through her body, making everything in front of her eyes become hazy. She felt as if the whole world was spinning and she almost fainted.

At this moment, Su Qiaoqiao truly realized how terrifying the man in front of her was.

His cultivation is far above hers.

Her heart was filled with shock.

Su Qiaoqiao bit her tongue quickly, and with the help of the short-lived sobriety brought by the stinging pain, she opened her eyes wide and said sternly, "How dare you! I am a daughter of the Su family, and you dare to touch me..."

"So, only the governor is allowed to set fires and the people are not allowed to light lamps?"

Shen Qing punched her in the chest without hesitation.

boom!
Su Qiaoqiao's figure was like a kite with a broken string. She flew backwards in a long arc and flew several feet away before stopping and falling heavily to the ground.

A look of pain appeared on Su Qiaoqiao's face.

She felt the blood churning in her chest and a sweetness in her throat. With a "wow", a large amount of blood spurted out, staining her clothes red and splashing onto the deck beside her.

Su Qiaoqiao was completely stunned. Her eyes, filled with astonishment and anger, stared at Shen Qing, unable to believe what was happening before her eyes.

In her opinion, how could someone like Shen Qing, who had no background at all, dare to attack her regardless of his status?
At this moment, the shock and anger in her heart intertwined together, making her a little overwhelmed for a moment.

Shen Qing didn't care about it at all and turned away with Huangfu Rou.

At this moment, Su Qiaoqiao, who was lying on the ground, suddenly looked up and stared at Shen Qing.

Her hair was disheveled, and she looked disheveled. She said fiercely, "Mr. Shen, do you know who is standing in front of you? How dare you attack me? Do you believe that I will make you wish you were dead or alive?"

Shen Qing paused and looked back.

Before he could do anything, a crisp slap sound suddenly exploded in the air and echoed between the two of them.

He didn't know when, Princess Yuzhen had quietly stood before him.

Su Qiaoqiao, who had just gotten up, fell heavily to the ground after being slapped by Princess Yuzhen, with her pretty face pressed tightly against the deck.

Princess Yuzhen said coldly: "Today, my palace is holding a chrysanthemum appreciation meeting. Why are you so rude to my guests?"

Su Qiaoqiao was stunned, having been slapped suddenly, and was still in a daze.

After a moment, she quickly reacted, not caring about the injuries on her face, and hurriedly sat up to explain: "I... Your Highness, Shen Qing just wanted to leave the table midway, and he spoke disrespectfully to the princess at the meeting, clearly not taking Your Highness seriously."

Snapped!
Another slap was thrown.

Su Qiaoqiao's face hit the deck with a bang, making close contact with the deck.

The successive blows made her completely confused. Her brain went blank and she was like a wooden chicken.

He didn't even care about the burning pain on his face.

The slap was so loud and noisy that everyone in the hall could feel it.

When they saw Princess Yuzhen arrive on the deck, they all came out to watch.

When they saw Su Qiaoqiao lying on the ground like a pig's head and Shen Qing standing with his hands helpless... they were all confused for a moment and couldn't figure out the specific situation.

Princess Yuzhen was present, so they couldn't go up and ask directly, so they just whispered to each other.

At this time, Princess Yuzhen stepped forward and bowed to Shen Qingying, saying, "I'm sorry, it's my fault that I didn't know how to control people and disturbed Lord Shen, causing you unnecessary trouble. It's really my fault."

"What's going on? Why is Princess Yuzhen so polite to this person?"

The people present were talking about it. They had not expected to encounter such a situation and did not know what was going on.

The person in front of him narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had noticed something, and clasped his hands together and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Your Highness, you are too kind. I am just a small official in the Military Department and do not deserve such courtesy from the Princess. I have benefited a lot from attending Your Highness' banquet today."

Princess Yuzhen said softly, "How about we let this matter go for my sake?"

Shen Qing said: "We have no grudges against each other, so let it be over now."

"That's good." Princess Yuzhen glanced at Su Qiaoqiao and said, "Why don't you come over here and thank Lord Shen for his generosity? If Lord Shen hadn't held back, with his level of cultivation in the Yuan Shen realm, you would have been beheaded long ago!"

"what!"

There was an uproar at the scene, and everyone gasped.

"Spiritual Realm, he has already reached the Spiritual Realm at his age?"

Everyone found it incredible. The Great Zhou was founded on martial arts, and any martial artist who broke through the Yuan Shen realm was a powerful person and had a pivotal position in the government.

It is hard to imagine that this young man in front of me has already broken through to this level at such an age. It is really too shocking.

Huangfu Rou, who was standing next to Shen Qing, was also looking at Shen Qing in shock. She knew that Shen Qing had a great talent for martial arts, and his skills had improved after entering the capital, but she didn't expect it to reach this level.

For a moment, she seemed to have gotten to know Shen Qing all over again and didn't know what to do.

Su Qiaoqiao was also shocked.

At the moment, her hair was disheveled and her clothes were in disarray.

His face was swollen like a pig's head and his eyes were squeezed into slits.

Even so, the inexplicable look of horror in her eyes was still extremely clear.

If Shen Qing really didn't want to let her go just now, she really wouldn't have the energy to fight back.

Su Qiaoqiao was terrified and had an urge to survive the disaster.

Now it seems that Princess Yuzhen's actions actually saved her.

Su Qiaoqiao no longer had any resentment in her heart, and she no longer cared about her face. She quickly prostrated herself on the ground and said sincerely: "Thank you, Lord Shen, I was blind."

Shen Qing did not comment.

He looked at Princess Yuzhen's flawless face and said, "It's getting late, and I have a lot of duties to attend to tonight, so I'll leave first. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

Princess Yuzhen smiled and said, "Master Shen, please do as you wish."

Shen Qing bowed with both hands, clasped his fists and saluted, then left quickly without staying any longer.

Huangfu Rou, who was standing by, also resigned and followed closely.

Looking at Shen Qing's back, Princess Yuzhen's smile deepened, and she secretly thought, "This Lord Shen is really quite impressive, really incredible."

"There are many brothers and sisters in the clan who, despite the blessing of countless spiritual essences and martial arts, cannot reach his level."

"As long as he doesn't die, his future is boundless. I can get closer to him and promote him. There is no harm in making friends with him in advance."

After seeing Shen Qing's figure completely disappear from her sight, she withdrew her thoughts, looked around at everyone, and returned to the hall and said, "Continue singing and dancing."

In the evening, the setting sun is as red as blood, dyeing the sky a brilliant orange-red. The afterglow falls on the sparkling lake, covering the boundless lake with a layer of golden veil.

Shen Qing and Huangfu Rou walked out of the cabin side by side, their figures lengthened by the setting sun.

Huangfu Rou looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Shen Qing smiled and said, "Master Huangfu, just say whatever you want to say. There's no need for us to be so formal."

Huangfu Rou sighed deeply and said, "Sir Shen, your progress in cultivation can be described as rapid. It is really amazing and enviable."

Shen Qing smiled gently and said modestly: "It's just a coincidence, it's nothing."

Huangfu Rou didn't take Shen Qing's humble words seriously at all. She looked up, staring at the setting sun gradually sinking into the lake in the distance, silently.

Soon, the two men walked to their respective carriages.

Shen Qing stopped and said, "I got a lot of important information from this chrysanthemum appreciation meeting, which is related to my own safety. Thank you very much."

As he spoke, Shen Qing took out a crystal clear jade pendant from his arms.

The jade token was crystal clear and emitted a faint spiritual glow.

Shen Qing did not allow Huangfu Rou to refuse, and gently stuffed the jade token into Huangfu Rou's arms.

Huangfu Rou felt the fluctuations of spiritual energy coming from the jade token and realized what it was.

"This... this is too expensive. I can't accept it."

"Please keep it for now. This spiritual essence may be more important to you. Besides, didn't you just say that you wanted to be like me?"

After saying that, Shen Qing strode towards his carriage. He walked onto the carriage road and said, "Let's get together more often in the future. Goodbye!"

Tian Xiaohu, who was sitting in the carriage, saw Huangfu Rou, his old acquaintance, nodded, and waved his whip.

"drive!"

The wheels rolled and left quickly.

Huangfu Rou looked at the jade token in her hand, and suddenly tightened her grip. In a voice that only she could hear, she murmured to herself, "It would be great if I could be like you... At least I could help you a little, so that we wouldn't drift further and further apart."

……

It was late that night, the moon was dark and the wind was strong.

The flickering candlelight in the Royal Armory illuminated the mottled stone walls.

A man dressed in the uniform of an armory manager hurriedly pushed open the door of the royal armory and walked in.

After entering the Royal Armory, he did not stop at all and went straight to the fifth floor of the armory.

Ji Bochu was seen sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed and concentrating. A faint spiritual light surrounded his body. He used his spiritual eyes to absorb spiritual energy to improve his cultivation.

"Lord Ji, I have an urgent matter to report!" The steward lowered his voice, but could not hide the urgency in his tone.

Ji Bochu slowly opened his eyes, his eyes shining with brilliance.

He tilted his head slightly, motioning for the steward to come closer.

"Why are you so flustered?" Ji Boya asked curiously.

The steward leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I just got the news that Shen Qing, he...he has broken through the Yuan Shen realm!"

As soon as these words came out, Ji Bochu's face flashed with a look of disbelief: "Are you serious?"

"This was confirmed by Princess Yuzhen herself, so it shouldn't be false."

Ji Bo opened his mouth and immediately fell into deep thought.

The Yuanshen realm is extremely rare in the entire Great Zhou.

It was shocking that Shen Qing could achieve it so quickly.

"Could it be..."

Ji Bochu seemed to have thought of something and walked quickly to the screen, where he saw a thick stack of cultivation experiences and notes.

Yes, that must be it.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how Shen Qing's cultivation could have improved so rapidly in such a short period of time.

This immortal martial arts technique was finally improved bit by bit to its current level through the attempts of many gifted warriors.

Maybe the road is really open.

Shen Qing must have gained some enlightenment and made great progress in his cultivation because of this.

After standing there and pondering for a while, Ji Bochu's eyes flashed with determination. He quickly straightened his clothes and muttered to himself: "This matter is of great importance. I should meet His Majesty immediately and report this matter to His Majesty for him to decide."

After making the decision, Ji Bo immediately walked out of the royal armory quickly.

His figure flashed, and he turned into a stream of light, rushing towards the depths of the palace. (End of this chapter)
