Wuxia: Ning Zhongze, who became a disciple of Mount Hua, is shrouded in blue silver.

After completing the onboarding procedures, Zhao Qing immediately returned to Shibalipu.

With only half a month left until the Five Sacred Mountains Conference, time is of the essence, and he needs to reach the Grandmaster level at the conference.

Soon, they returned to Shibalipu and reunited with Ren Yingying and Huang Rong.

Zhao Qing hadn't expected He Lu and He Shuang to be here.

"What are you all doing here? Has Hua Wuque arrived?" Zhao Qing asked.

"My young master didn't come. He told us to make sure this letter is delivered to Young Master Zhao."

After He Lu finished speaking, she gave Hua Wuque's letter to Zhao Qing.

Zhao Qing immediately opened the letter, and after reading it, he was shocked.

She was targeted by Yaoyue.

He Lu and He Shuang suddenly knelt down: "These servants greet the Grand Palace Mistress!"

Zhao Qing turned around and saw an unparalleled beauty.

Huang Rong and Ren Yingying are both top beauties, but the one in front of you is far more beautiful than them.

It's not that they aren't beautiful enough, but that this woman is stunningly beautiful.

Her face was flawless, and her temperament was aloof, like a fairy.

Zhao Qing fell in love with her at first sight, thinking: I would give up fifty years of my master's lifespan to sleep with her for one night!

But Zhao Qing dared not offend him.

He confirmed the woman's identity from Helu and Heshuang's words.

She is the Grand Palace Master of Yihua Palace, and the Palace Master Yaoyue, who ranks seventh on the Grandmaster List.

"You're Zhao Qing?"

Yaoyue walked up to Zhao Qing and asked directly.

His tone was calm, but his words carried the authority of a superior, making people afraid to look him in the eye.

Zhao Qing immediately bowed and cupped his hands, saying, "Junior Zhao Qing greets Palace Mistress Yaoyue."

Yaoyue looked Zhao Qing up and down and said, "You're a handsome young man, and your martial arts are quite good, even better than Wuque's."

"pity."

Zhao Qing immediately tensed up.

What's a pity? It's a pity he's about to die?

"This junior is willing to hand over the Yin Five Thunder Technique; please, Palace Master Yue, spare me!"

Although Zhao Qing's martial arts skills are now stronger, he still feels immense pressure when facing this master at the peak of the Grandmaster realm.

Zhao Qing could not survive in Yao Yue's hands.

The appearance of the Moon was too sudden, and Zhao Qing was caught off guard. Admitting defeat was the only option.

The usually aloof Yaoyue smiled at this moment: "You're very pragmatic and know how to save your life."

"But I know you are ruthless. If I bully you today, you will definitely take revenge in the future."

"Do you think I'll give you the chance to get your revenge?"

Zhao Qing immediately said, "Palace Mistress Yaoyue is the best in the world in martial arts and has extremely high talent."

"With my limited abilities, even if I lived for another hundred years, I would still be no match for the Palace Master and would pose no threat to her whatsoever."

"In the eyes of the Palace Master, I am nothing but an ant. Killing me will do you no good."

"In comparison, the Palace Master has cultivated the Yin Five Thunder Technique, so his martial arts will be even stronger, and it's only a matter of time before he becomes a Grandmaster."

If Zhao Qing wants to live, he must please Yaoyue.

Offering up the Yin Five Thunder Technique was Zhao Qing's only option, because this was the technique that Yao Yue feared most.

Zhao Qing has already remembered this grudge, but now the most important thing is to survive.

Only by living can one take revenge later.

Yaoyue said, "You're quite sensible, kid. Hand over the Yin Five Thunder Technique, and I'll spare your life."

Yaoyue originally wanted to kill Zhao Qing, but seeing that he was handsome, liked beautiful women, and was so obedient, she gave up her murderous intent.

She felt it was such a pity that such a beautiful person had died.

Originally, I was only afraid of Zhao Qing's Yin Five Thunder Technique. Since Zhao Qing is willing to teach this technique, there is no need to kill him.

The Palace Master of Yihua Palace, Yaoyue, is a renowned martial arts master who has always been proud.

He was very confident in his talent, even to the point of being arrogant.

If the two practiced the same martial art, Yaoyue was certain that Zhao Qing would never be able to defeat her.

In this way, Zhao Qing poses no threat to her, so there is naturally no need to eliminate Zhao Qing.

Zhao Qing had a strong will to survive. Seeing that Yao Yue agreed, he immediately found paper and pen and quickly wrote down the key points of Yin Five Thunder Technique.

Yaoyue received the Yin Five Thunder Technique, quite satisfied, and carefully put it away. Then, she threw a hairpin, aiming straight at Zhao Qing.

"Snapped!"

Zhao Qing caught the hairpin with just two fingers.

At this moment, Yaoyue had already turned around and was speaking with her back to Zhao Qing.

"This is a jade plum blossom, a token of the Yihua Palace, as payment for your Yin Five Thunder Technique."

Yaoyue walked away and disappeared from Zhao Qing's sight.

After completing Hua Wuque's task, He Lu and He Shuang bid a brief farewell to Zhao Qing and left.

Zhao Qing touched the black jade plum blossom and said with a smile, "I traded a scroll of cultivation technique for the black jade plum blossom from the Yihua Palace. It was a very good deal."

"The Palace Mistress of Yaoyue is stunningly beautiful; I must have her." A greedy glint flashed in Zhao Qing's eyes.

Ren Yingying's expression changed, and she said in a low voice, "Husband, you can't say that."

"Don't worry, my wife, you are my rightful wife, and no one can replace you."

Zhao Qing hugged Ren Yingying and gently comforted her.

Huang Rong sneered, "You lecherous scoundrel, how dare you set your sights on Palace Mistress Yaoyue? Don't you value your life?"

"Haha, Miss Huang, do you think I can't do it?"

Zhao Qing was very unhappy with Huang Rong's mockery.

Having known Zhao Qing for a long time, Huang Rong no longer held him in the same awe as before and spoke directly to him.

"Palace Master Yaoyue is the seventh-ranked expert on the Grandmaster Ranking, and her cultivation has reached the peak of the Grandmaster realm."

"Even if you were given another twenty years, you still wouldn't be a match for her."

"You also gave Yaoyue the Thunder Technique, which counters the martial arts of the Yihua Palace. This is your greatest reliance. I don't think you'll ever be able to defeat her in this lifetime."

Zhao Qing smiled and shook his head: "Thunder magic isn't my strongest trump card. Just wait and see, I'll definitely defeat Yaoyue within three years!"

……

Mount Hua.

Zhao Qing led Ren Yingying and Huang Rong to Mount Hua.

Mount Hua is very lively today.

Zhao Qing entered the main hall of the Huashan Sect. The hall was packed with people, which was very strange.

"Junior Brother Zhao, you're back."

Yue Lingshan walked up to Zhao Qing and greeted him.

"Um."

Zhao Qing nodded and asked, "Senior Sister, what's going on? Why are so many people suddenly arriving at Mount Hua?"

"It's all because of you."

"Because of me?"

Yue Lingshan nodded: "You are the thirteenth master on the Innate Ranking, and you even killed Dongfang Bubai with your senior brother."

"Everyone in the world knows about this now. The Huashan Sect has a great reputation, and many people want to become its disciples."

"These people came because of you."

For a sect to grow, it must recruit people.

The Huashan Sect is the weakest among the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects.

The reason why the Huashan Sect is at the bottom is because of the conflict between the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect more than 20 years ago.

After that battle, the Huashan Sect suffered heavy losses, falling from being the number one of the Five Sacred Mountains to the last.

A poor sect will find it difficult to recruit disciples, which is why the Huashan Sect used to have very few disciples.

Aside from Yue Buqun's few disciples, there were only seventy or eighty ordinary and menial disciples in total.

Now that a large number of new talents have emerged, Yue Buqun is very happy and immediately decides to accept them all.

Recruiting more disciples can strengthen the Huashan Sect's power and increase its revenue.

The Huashan Sect is not a charity; charging apprenticeship fees is normal practice for them.

Tuition fees depend on the student's talent.

People with exceptional talent not only don't have to pay money, but various sects will also be vying to recruit them.

People with average qualifications must pay tuition fees to get started.

Zhao Qing was very satisfied with this.

The stronger and wealthier the Huashan Sect was, the happier he was.

After all, the Huashan Sect would eventually be under his control.

"Who are these two...?"

Yue Lingshan then saw Ren Yingying and Huang Rong.

She knew Ren Yingying because she had dated Linghu Chong and they had met a few times.

Ren Yingying's current attire was different from before, so Yue Lingshan didn't recognize her.

Zhao Qing immediately said, "I forgot to introduce you. This is my new wife. Senior Sister, you know her."

"She is Ren Yingying, the Holy Maiden of the Sun Moon Sect, Miss Ren."

"What?!"

Yue Lingshan was shocked when she heard this. After looking closely, she recognized her. It really was her!

Isn't Ren Yingying with her senior brother?

Now she's Zhao Qing's wife?
