I'm here in the martial arts world just to find love.

After Jiang Chao sent his letter, the Jin Yu and Qing Ling sisters, who had disappeared for several days, finally reappeared.

The two sisters did not appear to be injured, but were somewhat tired.

Jiang Chao was worried about the safety of his two uncles and their families, so he didn't ask the two sisters how their revenge had gone. He asked them if they were injured, and then said nothing more.

Jin Yu said, "Young Master, we must also tell you what we have seen and heard along the way."

Jiang Chao frowned. "What did you all see?"

Jin Yu said solemnly, "Demons and monsters are everywhere!"

"Those demons and evil spirits grow stronger by devouring other living beings, and their advancement speed is extremely fast. Some of them have become so powerful that even my sister and I have to go all out to deal with them."

Jiang Chao's heart sank. "Has the world really come to this?"

It was thought that after the Empress ascended the throne, the fate of the Great Liang Dynasty, which was on the verge of collapse, would improve. But now it seems that things are far from that simple.

Jin Yu said, "Fortunately, many of those Xuanmen people have sent their disciples into the world to deal with and fight against the demons and evil spirits that have emerged in various places. For the time being, they can barely maintain the balance of the situation and prevent it from collapsing completely."

Demons wreaked havoc, and the people suffered terribly. This era of fast-paced adventures and wandering martial arts was finally about to change...

Jiang Chao sighed inwardly and remained silent.

I thought the martial arts world was just a martial arts world for martial arts people. No matter how much they messed around, it was just a conflict between people, a game between the imperial court and the martial arts world, and a contest between good and evil, all of which were still within a controllable range.

Unexpectedly, in the short span of less than half a year since he descended the mountain to travel, the situation in the world had undergone earth-shattering changes.

All the omens that occurred before and after the Yunmeng Mountain Martial Arts Tournament have now come true.

"I wonder if Brother Zhao has managed to subdue those three dragons..."

Jiang Chao thought of the slovenly Taoist priest Zhao Wuji, who possessed extraordinary skills.

The Taoist priest was mysterious in origin, and the two magical treasures he possessed were even more peculiar and left a deep impression.

To this day, no news has been reported of a Taoist priest subduing a dragon.

"You two rest here for a while. I need to go to the Imperial Observatory."

Jiang Chao was still worried about the safety of his two uncles.

Just as Jiang Chao was about to go to the Imperial Observatory to inquire about the situation, two junior officials dressed in the robes of the Imperial Observatory's spirit mediums rushed over.

"My lord, we have news!"

Jiang Chao's heart tightened, and he said, "Speak quickly!"

The two then explained the situation.

After listening, Jiang Chao's brows relaxed, and then he vanished from the spot in a flash.

Jin Yu and Qing Ling looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Sister, it seems he still hasn't remembered what happened that day?"

Qingling gazed in the direction Jiang Chao had left and whispered,

Jin Yu nodded. "That's a good thing. Now that he has awakened, he certainly won't let the young master remember what happened that day so easily. After all, he is a Venerable of the Eternal Heaven, and he still has to save face."

Qingling complained, "What's going on with this place? Why are there so many beings from the Eternal Heaven awakened here?"

Jin Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know, but this region must be closely related to the Eternal Heaven. The successive temple masters of the Jiang family all ascended to the Eternal Heaven in the end, which may be related to this matter."

"Our job is simply to protect the young master and ensure his safety until he fully matures. Everything else is none of our concern."

When the two realized something was wrong, Jiang Chao had already had part of his memory extracted by his "confidante" through some means and had fallen into a coma.

Jin Yu and Qing Ling tried to stop them, but it was too late.

They could only follow the woman who turned and ran away the moment she saw the sisters, hoping to find out the truth.

This is because the aura emanating from the other party is not that of an ordinary person, but a special aura that only cultivators from the Eternal Heaven possess!

Unfortunately, although their strength was not as great as the two sisters working together, the various supernatural abilities and secret techniques they possessed were extremely strange and unpredictable.

It's impossible to truly hurt her.

Naturally, it was impossible to keep the other party.

But it wasn't a complete waste; after several days of pursuit, they discovered each other's origins.

It was not the true body that descended from the upper realm, but a reincarnated person, a wisp of divine soul, who descended from the Eternal Heaven to this mortal realm to be reborn.

"Also, did you notice, sister, that the young master's scent seemed a little unusual?"

Qingling suddenly said.

Jin Yu was taken aback. "What do you mean? What's unusual about it? I can't smell anything."

Qingling rolled her eyes at her sister, "Sister, you're only concerned with telling the young master what he saw and heard, how could you possibly care about his actual situation?"

Jin Yu gave an awkward smile, "Isn't it because we want the young master to grow up as quickly as possible? How can a tree grow into a towering giant without experiencing trials and tribulations? What the young master lacks right now is tempering..."

"Um, what exactly do you mean by 'smell'?"

Qingling tilted her head and thought for a moment, then hesitated and said:

"It smells like... a woman's scent, the scent of a strange woman."

"Moreover, this woman is very strong, not in the way we understand strength, but rather..."

Qingling hesitated, unsure how to describe it.

Jin Yu recalled the changes in the young master just now, and a thought stirred in his heart. He then said:

"Luck?"

"Ah, right, right, it's that kind of luck."

Qingling nodded repeatedly, "Young Master's luck has gained something else. That thing didn't originally belong to Young Master, but now it does."

Jin Yu frowned and muttered to himself, "No way..."

Qingling was stunned, and asked in confusion, "What can't you do?"

Jin Yu looked at his sister with a complicated expression, "The aura you mentioned, if I'm not mistaken, should come from the current Empress..."

Qingling's eyes widened. "The Empress? Jiang Chao ate the Empress?!"

With a slap, Jin Yu struck Qing Ling on the head, causing Qing Ling to shrink back and cry out in pain.

Jin Yu looked around and, seeing no one in the courtyard, lowered his voice in an annoyed tone and said:

"You brat, you can't just say things like that!"

Qingling felt a little wronged and muttered, "Did I say something wrong? If he hadn't eaten the Empress, how could he have the Empress's scent on him?"

Jin Yu sighed and said, "I know you are envious and jealous, but there is a time to be jealous. Right now, the young master is anxious about the Yu family's affairs. If he finds out about your nonsense, it will only upset him."

Qingling pouted and stopped talking.

……

The Jade Mansion, which was originally empty, is now bustling with activity.

The Yu family members, who had disappeared overnight, returned one after another at dusk.

The ordinary soldiers guarding the courtyard thought it was haunted, and some of the soldiers with poor mental fortitude were almost scared out of their wits.

The reason was that the Yu family appeared so silently. Nearly a hundred people appeared without anyone noticing or making a sound, which was too strange.

Fortunately, it was eventually confirmed that the Minister of War and his family, who were at the height of their power in the court, were not ghosts, but living, breathing people, and it turned out to be a false alarm.

At this moment, inside the Yu family's main hall, Jiang Chao sat in a chair, watching his two uncles and colleagues living nearby exchange pleasantries.

It was mainly officials and military officers who were on good terms with the Yu family who came to offer their condolences and express their concern.

Yu Wenyuan was indeed a seasoned official, handling situations with great skill and tact, leaving no room for criticism.

After everyone left, Yu Wenyuan breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards Jiang Chao.

Although Jiang Chao was frequently summoned by the Empress, and there were even rumors of an affair between him and the Empress, very few people had ever seen Jiang Chao's true face, and some did not even know his name.

Jiang Chao was sitting in a corner of the hall, and almost no one noticed him.

Besides Jiang Chao deliberately concealing his aura, there was another reason: those people thought Jiang Chao was a member of the Yu family, and that he had been captured along with that wandering sorcerer, which frightened them greatly.

So I didn't pay much attention to it.

"Have you been waiting long?"

Yu Wenyuan smiled.

Jiang Chao shook his head, looked at his uncle whom he hadn't seen for many years, and smiled:

"My uncle is getting more and more capable. He handles these people with ease, which is truly admirable."

Yu Wenyuan laughed heartily, "You little rascal, you're still just like when you were a kid, you know how to make people happy."

He then sighed, "The officialdom is like a battlefield, where there is no room for carelessness. The slightest mistake could lead to utter ruin."

"The officials you see today are all shrewd and capable. Believe it or not, if I show even the slightest sign of something amiss today, tomorrow those anonymous memorials impeaching me will flood the palace like snowflakes, piling up on His Majesty's desk."

Jiang Chao said, "Since the officialdom is so treacherous, why does Uncle still choose to remain in the court? Why not retire and return to his hometown to enjoy a peaceful and comfortable life?"

Yu Wenyuan laughed and scolded, "What do you know, you little rascal? This is where your uncle's value lies. Although the court is full of intrigue and danger, your uncle enjoys it. And only there can your uncle realize his ambitions and seek the well-being of the people."

Jiang Chao shook his head and said nothing more.

After a moment, Yu Wenyuan suddenly asked:

"So, how do you plan to resolve the matter concerning the Liu family?"

Jiang Chao was silent for a moment, then slowly said:

"Since this matter arose because of me, I will definitely go to Liu Chen and seek justice for you, my uncles."

Yu Wenyuan shook his head, "It only borrowed the luck from me and your third uncle. This thing is invisible and intangible, it's not a big deal. Just get justice and that's it."

Jiang Chao said, "Uncle, you may not know this, but the matter of fortune is no small matter. At best, one's luck will be low, and at worst, one's family will be destroyed. Since Liu Chen is so unscrupulous and willing to sacrifice others for his own benefit, even if he is Liu Yiyi's brother, I cannot let him off so easily."

Just as he had suspected, his uncle's family had indeed been kidnapped by his brother-in-law.

He had already helped him obtain ambergris from the Empress, and in return, he had even slept with her and sold his body.

But the result?

As a result, his innocent uncle's family was implicated.

Half of the fortune of the Yu brothers, Yu Wenyuan and Yu Wenhao, was "borrowed".

This incident greatly angered Jiang Chao.
