While I'm at the martial arts academy, my wife is cultivating while I enjoy life.

Then Zhou Liren saw his daughter Zhou Ruoxi's big belly. She had only been away from Jiangling City for a few months, and her belly was already so big.

He was, after all, a first-generation Grandmaster; where would he put his pride?

"Xi'er, come here!"

Regardless, her father doted on his seventh daughter. Despite having so many older brothers ahead of him, he still entrusted the Jiangling Law Enforcement Bureau to her management.

Zhou Ruoxi touched her belly and looked at him, replying, "Dad, I am already Yang Ding's woman. I hope you can persuade Master Zhao not to make things difficult for my man, otherwise I will have no choice but to fight to the death."

Zhao Lie was so angry he was trembling.

"Ruoxi, you should have been my Zhao family's granddaughter-in-law, but you betrayed us. Today, I'm going to help Zekai get justice."

Zhou Ruoxi's mother also came out and leaped to stand between Zhou Ruoxi and Zhao Lie.

"Old Zhao, if you dare to hurt my daughter, I'll fight you to the death."

"Old Zhou, keep your wife in check. You should have killed this kid back then."

"Old Zhou, this is your daughter, and Yang Ding is your son-in-law."

Zhou Liren looked constipated. He had been hiding for so many years, was he really going to fight Zhao Lie to the death for this kid Yang Ding?

A fire-type grandmaster is not someone to be trifled with. Even if I kill him, I'll probably be burned to a crisp.

Moreover, the two have such a close relationship.

His falling out with Zhao Lie means the Queen will likely reclaim power over Jiangling City.

From a self-interested perspective, he also had to side with Zhao Lie.

"Yang Ding, Zhao Yang, the General of the Northern Guard, Jiang Dawei, the General of the Northwest Guard, and Zhao Zekai, the grandson of the Zhao family—were all killed by you?"

"Father-in-law, I'm innocent! I didn't kill them."

How could he easily admit to killing someone he had already killed?

"Who the hell is your father-in-law?"

Zhou Liren roared, and the entire cloud shook.

The Grandmaster's true energy level is just right.

The commotion caused traffic congestion at the entrance to the royal city. Wang Xuehua, who was about to dock at the royal city pier, felt a chill when she heard the name Yang Ding.

"Grandson, did I hear you wrong?"

"Grandmother, you heard me right, it's Yang Ding, it's Yang Ding."

Wang Tuoye, the grandson with the highest cultivation level in the eldest branch of the family and an S+ level fire-type ability user, replied.

He came here to fight for the right to marry the princess.

"He's not dead?"

Wang Xuehua immediately realized something was wrong; she seemed to have been tricked.

"He argued with Grandmaster Zhao Lie and Grandmaster Zhou, and not only did he not die, he is still living a very arrogant life."

Wang Xuehua walked to the bow of the ship, looking at the noisy and crowded clouds in the distance, "When we get back to Donghai City, I will personally grind him down."

"If he dares to show his face in this martial arts contest to win the marriage, I will burn him alive in front of Zhou Ruoxi and Ye Rou."

"Good grandson, you have ambition. With your cultivation level, killing him should be more than enough."

Knowing she was no match for two Grandmasters, Ye Rou approached Mu Qingyao, who had remained silent.

"Sister Mu, they wouldn't dare to cause trouble here, would they?"

"It's all just talk. Zhou Liren won't participate in the war, and Zhao Lie alone wouldn't dare to act recklessly here."

Zhao Lie had never met Mu Qingyao before, but seeing her extraordinary bearing and the fact that she was sitting on the lead ship with the East China Sea flag flying, he clasped his hands and said, "Could this be Grandmaster Mu, the commander-in-chief of the East China Sea Navy?"

"Greetings, Master Zhao. Besides being the commander-in-chief of the East Sea Navy, I am also the general of the Yaoguang Guard. You are causing trouble in front of the whole world, so I must intervene."

"This Yang Ding killed my Zhao family members. I hope Commander Mu will understand. It will be easy for me to eliminate him. It will be quick."

"The Queen has decreed that no one is allowed to cause trouble near the royal city or during the princess's coming-of-age ceremony."

Mu Qingyao refused to budge an inch, and Zhao Lie was already getting impatient.

Zhou Liren was the first to back down, saying, "Old Zhao, just bear with it and it will pass. You and Mu Qingyao are both Grandmasters, so you won't gain much advantage if you fight each other."

"Screw you, if you hadn't been such a coward, Yang Ding would be dead already!"

Zhao Lie, with his fiery temper, pointed at Mu Qingyao and said, "Yang Ding killed my children and grandchildren; he must pay with his life."

"Master Zhao, you killed Sun Changqing, the president of Jiangling University. Will you pay with your life?" Mu Qingyao asked.

"you……"

These words struck a nerve with Zhao Lie. He hadn't originally planned to come this time; his reputation was already infamous throughout the five great empires. It was only because he was a Grandmaster that no one could do anything about him.

"How can Yang Ding be compared to my Grandmaster?"

Just then, golden light exploded in the air, and 800 Dragon Guards, clad in golden armor, appeared in the sky with a whoosh.

They were arranged in neat rows, some stepping on fireballs, some on clouds, some on wooden shoes, and some on stone axes, while the warriors rode winged dragon-scaled horses.

Jin Tielin, one of the eight grandmasters, slowly landed in front of Zhao Lie while wearing armor.

He is the rotating commander of the Dragon Guard Imperial Guard.

"Welcome Master Mu, welcome Master Zhou, welcome Master Zhao."

Knowing that he probably wouldn't be able to kill Yang Ding today, Zhao Lie could only ask, "Is Grandmaster Jin also here to mediate?"

Jin Tielin looked at him seriously, "No, I'm here to maintain order. If Grandmaster Zhao makes another move, you will be asked to return to Jiangling City, and you will no longer have a seat in the Grandmaster's chair in the Royal Palace."

"you……"

As the King of Gou, Zhou Liren had already realized that Yang Ding was no ordinary guy, as he had actually mobilized two grandmasters to come to the rescue.

Could it be that my daughter married the right person?

Seeing that Grandmaster Jin had brought the Imperial Guards, Zhao Lie had no choice but to flick his sleeves and say, "It's not too late to kill him when we get back."

Jin Tielin glanced at Yang Ding, said nothing, and then waved his hand dismissively.

"Let Master Mu and Master Zhou's fleets enter Yun Port first, and other ships give way."

Just as other ships were giving way and the East Sea Fleet was slowly moving forward, Ye Rou heard a familiar and warm voice.

"soft."

"sister?"

Ye Rou quickly scanned the fleet on the right, but there were simply too many people.

Of the 2000 million troops in the North, 2000 were qualified to come to the capital.

Seeing that they were all wearing military uniforms, Ye Rou asked, "Excuse me, are you from the Northern Border Legion?"

"Yes."

Ye Rou was immediately excited. Holding her child, she leaped onto the top of the sail and scanned the dense crowd not far away.

A cool, aloof woman with a long ponytail, wearing a black leather jacket and carrying two swords waved to her from the crowd.

Ye Rou felt a lump in her throat, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

Isn't this her beloved older sister, Ye Ke, whom she has been longing for day and night?

"Sister, sister, come quickly, come into the harbor with us."

Ye Ke pointed to herself, probably asking if it was permissible, since this was Master Mu's ship.

Mu Qingyao is already a sister to me, so why can't we? Ye Rou nodded quickly, "Come here!"

After understanding, Ye Ke leaped 800 meters into the air, performed a backflip, and landed steadily on the deck of the East China Sea's flagship.

"Ke!" Fang Jing rushed over excitedly.

Ye Ke smiled calmly and said, "Sister Jing, it's been a long time."

The Ye sisters are big stars in the Jinglong Empire, and Zhou Ruoxi is an old acquaintance of theirs.

This was the first time Mu Qingyao had met her.

"This aloofness and indifference are indeed exactly like Madam Ye's."

Ye Jian's wife is just like that; no one but her husband can catch her eye.

She's difficult to deal with; she'll commit suicide for love without hesitation, and most men can't control her.

Ye Rou jumped down from the mast and said excitedly, "Sister, let me introduce you to my fourth sister."

"You already have a fourth sister?" Ye Ke asked, puzzled.

"Yes, this is her boat, and Fourth Sister is Grandmaster Mu Qingyao."

Ye Ke: "..."
