If she could do that, wouldn't she be a legendary grandmaster? No, no, there are only four grandmasters in the world, each of whom is a renowned figure in the martial arts world. It's impossible for her to be a little girl.

Moreover, considering the child's age, even if he had started practicing martial arts from the womb, he shouldn't have reached this level. But what about what happened before? Those were three genuine innate experts. It's hard to believe that he was defeated in one move without being a grandmaster.

Hong Gu, who was still preoccupied with Lin Xueyi's cultivation level, had a completely messy mind and couldn't make sense of it. However, when asked to ask, she felt that she couldn't bring herself to do it.

"Little sister, what is Xueyi's cultivation level now? I just saw her defeat those three men in one move, so her cultivation level must be quite high."

He was too embarrassed to ask Lin Xueyi, and equally too embarrassed to ask Su Mengsha, but Su Tiefeng was quite bold. Seeing Hong Gu's dilemma, he wanted to ask her.

"I don't know either. Because of my injury, I have no memory of what I was before, so I don't know what my cultivation level is. But those three weren't strong. They were finished off with one palm. They weren't very powerful. I think they were even weaker than Senior Hong Gu. If Senior Hong Gu could go all out, they would be no match for her."

At first glance, this statement seems reasonable, but upon closer examination, it reveals a major problem. What does "not very powerful" mean? Three innate level cultivators—you say they're not very powerful? Who gave you the audacity? Well, upon closer reflection, she really has the right to say that about the person she knocked down with a single palm strike.

As for what happens later, Senior Hong Gu can also defeat her. Yes, she can, otherwise so many cannon fodder wouldn't have been lost earlier. But is that useful? Even if she could defeat her, she wouldn't have done it so easily with a single palm strike.

Su Tiefeng, who hadn't yet reacted, didn't say anything, but was instead somewhat smug. However, if Su Mengsha hadn't been holding Lin Xueyi, she would definitely have rolled her eyes at this girl.

"Three Innate Realm cultivators and you say they're not powerful? You're either crazy or what." As for Hong Gu, she was at a loss for words. She knew her own limitations; at least when facing those three men in black, she couldn't guarantee she could defeat them in one move like Lin Xueyi. But she claimed she didn't know her own cultivation level, and Hong Gu couldn't disbelieve her. On the way, she had shown a lack of common sense, so there was probably no doubt that she had lost her memory.

"The Third Young Master is back, and the Eldest Miss is back too."

At this moment, the disciples guarding Flying Eagle Fortress also saw the group rushing towards them. Su Tiefeng had gone to fetch reinforcements, and since he had brought a stranger with him, the reinforcements must have arrived as well.

As for Su Mengsha, her arrival also means that support from another force will be available.

"I'm back, Little Horse. How's it going? Is the castle safe lately? Haven't those people attacked Eagle Castle?"

"Not yet, but some of our outer branches have been pulled out. There's not much usable food left in Flying Eagle Fortress. The main problem is that even if we had money, it would be difficult to buy more."

"It's alright, I've already invited Senior Hong Gu here. Those people from Haishan Cave won't be able to act so arrogantly for long."

Although Su Tiefeng really wanted to talk about Lin Xueyi, he thought that even he himself felt like he was in a dream, let alone others. He decided to wait until he got back and talk to his father in more detail.

As for Su Zhengxiong and the others, they also learned that Su Mengsha and Lin Xueyi had arrived with Hong Gu and Su Tiefeng. Elder Ling was naturally very happy to hear that Lin Xueyi had also come. He had already heard of this talented young woman and knew that she would become the wife of the sect leader's son in the future. Naturally, he wanted to go and see her first and give the sect leader a heads-up on whether this future daughter-in-law was suitable.

Lin Xueyi, who was still completely unaware of this, was slowly walking with Su Mengsha deeper into Flying Eagle Fortress.

"The flying pavilions stretch far and wide, connecting with the straight trees of Qin; the winding walls lean low, pressing down on the clouds of Longxi."

"Well done, as expected of the renowned young talent in the martial arts world, your ability to speak eloquently is truly astonishing." Lin Xueyi had just finished speaking when she heard a deep voice ring out in her ear.

Not only her, but Su Mengsha was also startled. Only then did she realize that her father had brought an unfamiliar old man with him to welcome Hong Gu and the others.

"Father, your daughter is unfilial for going out without permission. Please forgive me."

"Haha, my good daughter, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Su Zhengxiong looked at his daughter carefully and saw that she was almost the same as when he left. Only then did he feel relieved and turn his attention to Hong Gu.

"Miss Zeng, it's been a long time."

"Hmph, if it weren't for Rou'er's sake, I wouldn't care whether you live or die. But seeing how well you've raised Mengsha, Rou'er would be very pleased if she knew this in the afterlife."

They were catching up, and it should have been a pleasant and harmonious occasion, which it truly was. But the atmosphere was shattered by a surprised shout the next second.

"What did you say? When did I become the wife of that bastard of your sect leader? How come I didn't know?"

“He is our sect leader’s son, not his son. Little girl, we are the Lingzang Sword Sect. Our young sect leader is a young talent, and he is a perfect match for a talented young lady like you.”

Elder Ling saw Lin Xueyi's charming appearance from afar. Coupled with the two lines of poetry she had spontaneously recited earlier, this girl with such talent was quite rare, especially since she was a disciple that the Luo City Sword Sect hoped to take in. All these factors combined made her a suitable match for his young sect leader.

"I know, little girl, you're just shy. Don't worry, once we help your sister Su resolve things here, we'll take you to see our Lingcang Sword Sect. It's even more beautiful there than here."

Thinking that Lin Xueyi's scream was just shyness, Elder Ling once again spared no effort in introducing her to his young sect leader and the various scenic spots of the Ling Cangjian Sect.

Chapter 43 Shy? That's anger.

Lin Xueyi was shy? It wasn't shy anymore, it was anger. Lin Xueyi really never thought that someone would actually set their sights on her. Did they have a death wish?

Her small hands clenched and unclenched, then unclenched again. Fire began to blaze in Lin Xueyi's eyes, and she could no longer suppress her murderous intent.

Let alone her current age, even when she was a homebody, she never thought about getting married, let alone marrying a man she didn't know what kind of person he was.

“Say what you just said again, and I’ll give you a chance to rephrase it.”

Knowing Lin Xueyi's temper well, Su Mengsha knew that the girl had reached her breaking point. If she were to handle the situation herself, she might turn her Flying Eagle Fortress upside down.

"Xueyi, come here to your sister. There's something you need to tell her."

Outside Flying Eagle Fortress, two disciples from Sea Mountain Cave were keeping a close watch on Flying Eagle Fortress from a secluded spot.

"I said, the cave master said that if there's any big commotion at Flying Eagle Fortress, we must report it to him, but what exactly constitutes a big commotion?"

"Well, who knows? But it's said that the cave master made an agreement with someone to launch a coordinated attack from inside and outside today to completely defeat Flying Eagle Fortress."

"However, I heard that people from the Lingzang Sword Sect have also gone in. With them inside, will things still proceed according to the original plan?"

After finding a place to sit down, the disciple from Haishan Cave looked up at Flying Eagle Fortress with a somewhat speechless expression. Inside, everything was still calm and peaceful, and there was nothing unusual to be seen.

“Let’s rest for a while. I think those people are unreliable. They even helped us take down Flying Eagle Fortress. If they were that capable, why didn’t they do it themselves? Why did they have to join forces with our Sea Mountain Cave? I don’t know what the cave master was thinking, but he insisted on trusting those cowardly rats.”

As disciples of Haishan Cave, many of them didn't care much for those men in black. They only refrained from conflict with them out of respect for their cave master, but in their hearts, they looked down on them.

"Alright, Uncle Liao, let's just look around here. Look, the cave master has prepared a lot of food for us. Let's rest here. We've been on edge the whole time, and now we can finally relax and unwind a bit."

The slightly younger man took out the food box that the cave master of Haishan Cave had prepared for them, and then took out a small flask of strong liquor from the side and handed it to Uncle Liao.

"With wine and food, this isn't a bad life, is it?"

After uncorking the wine and taking a good sniff of the aroma, Uncle Liao's eyes narrowed with a smile.

"Good lad, this is the cave master's favorite Butterfly Spring. Ordinary people can't even see it. Where did you get this?"

"Hehe, a few days ago I went out to gamble with the young master and accidentally helped him win a few rounds. The young master was so happy that he gave me a bottle."

The man scratched his head, speaking with a hint of shyness mixed with a touch of pride.

"Not bad, lad. You have potential. You even know how to help the young master win at gambling. You have a bright future. No wonder I gave you this job today."

He grabbed a piece of cooked beef from the food box and put it in his mouth, savoring the rich, juicy beef that made his mouth water.

"As long as Uncle Liao likes it."

Just as the man was about to grab the braised pig's ear from the food box, he suddenly heard a loud bang from behind him.

Looking into the depths of Flying Eagle Fortress from afar, something they didn't know suddenly shot into the sky, leaving them somewhat bewildered.

"I said, that was quite a commotion."

Before they knew it, the beef in Uncle Liao's hand fell to the ground, and the pot of Die Luo Chun tea spilled out. It wasn't that he didn't cherish it, but they had already seen clearly what had shot into the sky earlier.

A huge roof descended from the sky, growing larger and larger until it landed in front of the two with a loud "thud".

"This...this...this must be a big commotion."

Uncle Liao swallowed hard, staring dumbfounded at the enormous rooftop in front of him, and nodded blankly.

"We...we need to go and warn them...they've really made their move..."

The camera then shifts back to inside Flying Eagle Fortress. Lin Xueyi, who was clearly upset, suppressed her anger but was still pulled into the main hall by Su Mengsha to hear what grievances she had suffered.

Of course, Su Mengsha had already heard from her father on the way what Lingzang Sword Sect's purpose was in coming here.

At this point, not only Su Mengsha and Hong Gu, but even Su Tiefeng found it unbelievable. Who is Lin Xueyi? She defeated three Xiantian masters in one move. You're telling me she'd be someone else's child bride? And she's the son of the Lingzang Sword Sect's leader.

He chuckled and asked if the cultivation level of the Lingzang Sword Sect's leader could compare to that of his chosen daughter-in-law.

So Su Tiefeng quietly pulled his father to the back and told him what he had seen and heard on the way, emphasizing Lin Xueyi's single-handedly killing three innate masters with a single palm strike, which made Su Zhengxiong gasp.

But by this time, he was already in a bind. He hadn't known this would happen, and he had agreed. If Lin Xueyi disagreed, well, she definitely wouldn't agree. Wouldn't that be stirring up a hornet's nest?

“Miss Su, I know you like Miss Xueyi very much, but Miss Xueyi was also personally chosen by our sect leader, and is the future wife of our young sect leader. So please consider the bigger picture and let us bring Miss Xueyi to the Lingzang Sword Sect later.”

Elder Ling... Su Mengsha was speechless. She had really courted death. Just as Lin Xueyi said, even a divine doctor couldn't save those who were looking for death.

"Elder Ling, is this the language you spent half a day reorganizing?"

Elder Ling was somewhat bewildered by Lin Xueyi's sudden cold words, and for some reason, a sense of unease suddenly arose in his heart.

"Are these your last words?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her aura suddenly surged. As Lin Xueyi's aura continued to rise, the ground beneath her feet began to radiate outwards with violent tremors.

This was the first time Su Mengsha had seen Lin Xueyi angry. She had always thought she could guess Lin Xueyi's cultivation level, but now she realized that she had underestimated this little girl.

The next second, Lin Xueyi's aura suddenly surged, and the roof of the Flying Eagle Fortress rose up and shot straight into the sky.

Chapter 44: Are there still troublemakers?

"You said Eagle Fortress is in chaos, and even the roof has been blown off. That's great! Heaven is helping me! Heaven is helping me!"

Upon hearing the words of his two subordinates, Tang Tong stood up from his chair in delight. After pacing back and forth a few times, he finally looked up and spoke.

"Have Tang Bei bring his men over immediately. We've struck gold this time! Flying Eagle Fortress, Flying Eagle Fortress, this time Flying Eagle Fortress is completely ours! Hurry, hurry!"

"Oh...oh...yes, I'll be right there." Uncle Liao, somewhat bewildered by Tang Tong's words, quickly pulled the equally bewildered young man along, and the two hurriedly walked outside.

Tang Tong was already beaming with joy. He had previously been in contact with that mysterious force, and if chaos broke out inside Flying Eagle Fortress, he could go inside and take over the entire fortress. He never expected that day to come so soon.

Without keeping him waiting long, Tang Bei arrived at the inn with his men. Tang Bei was extremely excited. Taking over the entire Flying Eagle Fortress and turning Haishan Cave into the strongest force in Binzhou had always been his goal. Although it might not be as powerful as the truly top-tier sects overall, it was enough for Binzhou.

Rewinding to the beginning, in the main hall of Flying Eagle Fortress, Lin Xueyi's furious state shocked not only Elder Ling and the others from the Ling Cangjian Sect, but also Su Mengsha.

Although I knew she was very strong and had a high level of cultivation, reaching this level is something that even a master of innate cultivation cannot do.

Su Zhengxiong was quite upset, especially when he looked up at a white cloud drifting by in the sky. "This child is here to destroy the house, isn't she? Who would dare to marry her? If she gets even slightly angry, the roof will have to be repaired all over the house. It's heartbreaking."

"Xueyi, calm down, calm down. This senior from the Lingzang Sword Sect only made a suggestion. Whether you agree or not is up to you to decide. Besides, they only heard about your reputation at the poetry gathering and thought it was good to be with their young sect leader. They didn't think much else. Don't be so angry."

"Not angry? They dared to decide my future without even consulting me. Who gave them that right? Or do they think I'm easy to bully and that I'll just accept whatever comes my way?"

Hong Gu touched her nose, thinking about the three Xiantian cultivators who had been killed on the way, and then looked up at the blue sky. Being able to see the sky from inside this hall was probably a first for her.

Her small hands cracked as she clenched them. Lin Xueyi glanced at Elder Ling, who was trying to remain calm, and her sharp gaze made the elder's expression stiffen. She had originally thought it would be a simple matter.

It turned out that the issue wasn't whether it was simple or difficult, but rather whether it would be life-threatening.

"Miss Lin, our sect leader heard about your outstanding performance at the Luocheng Poetry Festival, which is why we thought of marrying you into the Lingcang Sword Sect. However, we didn't expect you to disagree, so we'll leave it at that for now. We just wanted our young sect leader to have a good wife."

When the situation is beyond one's control, Elder Ling will not forcefully intervene. After all, they were not entirely fair in this matter. If Lin Xueyi's cultivation level is low or nonexistent, she naturally has no say in the matter.

All it takes is a sedan chair and some dowry to marry her into the Lingcang Sword Sect. But now, her cultivation level might not even be able to defeat their sect leader. What's the point of marrying her? Even if they did marry her, it's uncertain whether the Lingcang Sword Sect will still belong to the Lin family.

"Hmph, let me think. You guys came here to help out for those trashy guys outside, didn't you?"
