Chapter 6: Good at Yin-Yang

Lu Chengfeng looked at the person in front of him and a flash of surprise appeared in his slightly narrowed eyes. The person who came was the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall and also a true disciple of one of the five inner peaks of the Yuncang Sword Sect.

The Yuncang Sword Sect has five inner peaks and one hundred and eight outer peaks, which together form an extremely large sect force. It is a behemoth in the entire north, suppressing the world for thousands of years, with deep roots and profound heritage.

Anyone whose martial arts skills break through the tenth level can open up a peak, be called an outer peak elder, and obtain all kinds of superior and even top martial arts of the sect.

To enter the inner five peaks, one must either break through to the seventh level of martial arts before the age of twenty, or break through to the tenth level of martial arts before the age of thirty.

Each of the inner sect's true disciples is a true child of destiny, with extremely high talents in a certain martial art that is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The Law Enforcement Hall was one of the eight most important halls in the sect. Its leading elders were all from the inner peaks and had cultivation levels of more than ten levels. They far surpassed the outer peak elders in terms of status, strength, and background.

Xue Dulong was in his forties when he cultivated the Black Wind Demon-Breaking Spear to the tenth level. He was in his prime and had considerable talent. Once he had a breakthrough, he became so arrogant and domineering.

But when faced with the inner peak's true teachings, he was easily subdued, his fist was locked, and he couldn't move at all.

Xue Dulong was shocked and angry. He secretly used his internal energy and exerted force several times, but he intuitively felt that the opponent's palm seemed to contain vast and boundless waves, and all his strength was instantly submerged.

After several attempts, not only did he fail to shake the opponent, but he also suffered a severe depletion of his internal strength, leaving him unable to save face.

"This boy spoke rudely to this elder, and I was only teaching him a lesson. Can the people in the Law Enforcement Hall not distinguish right from wrong?" Xue Dulong shouted angrily. He looked aggressive, but in fact he was weak inside, and his words already hinted at retreat.

The man from the Law Enforcement Hall flipped his palm slightly, looking calm and composed, but Xue Dulong suddenly retreated five steps, his blood boiling, and his face suddenly turned black and purple.

"Okay, okay, okay, the Law Enforcement Hall is really domineering..." Xue Dulong originally wanted to say something harsh, but when he looked at the pair of deep eyes and the blood-red belt opposite him, his heart trembled slightly and he swallowed all the words.

Seeing that today's decision could not be violated and that he had lost all face, he turned around and left with a gloomy face.

Several Canglong Peak disciples who followed Xue Dulong hurriedly caught up, however, three of them were originally disciples of Bixiao Peak. They looked embarrassed at this moment, and did not dare to even look at Lu Lu Chengfeng. They lowered their heads and ran away dejectedly.

Lu Chengfeng removed his right hand from the hilt of the sword, clasped his hands together, and solemnly thanked the visitor from the Law Enforcement Hall: "Disciple Lu Chengfeng, thank you for your righteous words."

"You don't need to thank me. I am just following the sect's rules." The young elder said indifferently, "I am here today for official business."

"You sent someone to deliver the marriage certificate to the sect's law enforcement hall yesterday. I am here today to return the marriage certificate."

Lu Chengfeng was slightly stunned when he heard this, "What do you mean, elder?"

The man took out the marriage certificate that Lu Chengfeng had sent Su Wanqing to deliver to the Law Enforcement Hall yesterday from his sleeve pouch and handed it over directly.

"Luo Suyi is the widow of Zhao Changzhen. He has already submitted the list to the Law Enforcement Hall a few days ago, and the sect has already recorded it."

"Now that Zhao Changzhen has fallen, Luo Suyi still exists in the sect's records. It is not right for you to marry her, and the sect will not recognize it."

Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but frown, "Luo Suyi is my senior sister from the same sect, and her master was assassinated on the night of her wedding. Besides, marriage is a private matter. Does the sect want to interfere with the marriage of disciples?" The young elder opposite looked at Lu Chengfeng with a slightly strange look, "You misunderstood. The sect will naturally not interfere with the marriage of disciples, but the families of the elders from the outer peaks will be protected by the sect and have various advantages."

"According to the sect records, Luo Suyi is Zhao Changzhen's widow after all. If you openly marry her, it will probably make our Yuncang Sword Sect a laughing stock. People outside will probably laugh at the Yuncang Sword Sect for being so filthy that such an immoral thing happened."

"The fact that a disciple married his master's wife is truly shocking. Even if we know the inside story, once the news gets out, outsiders will not care so much. They will only say that our Yuncang Sword Sect is a place of corruption."

"So for the sake of the sect's reputation, the Law Enforcement Hall cannot accept your marriage certificate, let alone record it in the annals."

Lu Chengfeng's face had turned extremely ugly. He originally thought that a quick marriage, where the rice had been cooked, would solve many problems.

But I didn't expect that something unexpected would happen in the sect's law enforcement hall, which would probably cause a lot of trouble.

"Of course, the sect will not openly register your marriage certificate. As for your marriage, we will not interfere." The young elder coughed twice, and his face looked even weirder as he said this. He looked at Lu Chengfeng with some curiosity and strangeness.

Lu Chengfeng understood now. As the family of an outer peak elder, the sect would have all kinds of protection for them. Luo Suyi had already been registered. For the sake of the sect's reputation, the Law Enforcement Hall would no longer accept Lu Chengfeng's marriage certificate and would register the two of them.

But no one cares about their marriage in private. To put it bluntly, they turn a blind eye. Anyway, they will not acknowledge their marriage openly.

Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but be speechless. What was the difference between the sect's practice and trying to cover up one's mistakes? But he also understood that for a large sect like the Yuncang Sword Sect with a thousand-year heritage, the most important thing was often this fig leaf on the surface.

He couldn't help but have such a thought flash through his mind, "Su Yi, during the day in the sect, you are my master's wife, and when I return home at night, you are my mother... ahem... son..."

Lu Chengfeng knew very well that since the Law Enforcement Hall had sent an elder to convey the matter, this decision was not something he could change. At least with his current identity and status, it was impossible for him to change the decision of the Law Enforcement Hall.

At this time, he could only bow helplessly and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Elder. I understand."

After that, he took the marriage certificate with both hands and thanked him again.

In any case, the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall did not act in a condescending manner or use his power to pressure others. He explained everything clearly and plainly from beginning to end, without any favoritism or bias.

Moreover, he drove away Xue Dulong for him as soon as he appeared. He could be said to be fair, and Lu Chengfeng had to appreciate it.

"My surname is Zeng, and I'm also quite good at Yin-Yang magic. You're now quite famous in the inner and outer peaks. If you have the opportunity to enter the inner peak someday, we can sit down and discuss this." Elder Zeng smiled mischievously, then walked away with a loud laugh.

Lu Chengfeng watched him leave in a leisurely manner, his face showing a moment of surprise, but then he thought about it and couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that his marriage to his master's wife must have caused quite a stir in the sect.

"Since the sect's law enforcement hall does not accept marriage certificates, this matter may be a bit troublesome. I must pass the elders' assessment as soon as possible, otherwise I may be in big trouble."

After a little thought, he saw the risks hidden behind this. He did not dare to delay and quickly went down the mountain.
