Then, in an instant, he disappeared from her sight. It wasn't until later that she learned that on another Fujian ship, Xi Beihuo, known as the Deep-Sea Poisonous Python, had also become a victim of his sword.

With Lin Xueyi's face pressed against her lap and his back turned to her, Ge Xinyao, while recalling what had happened before, continued to gently massage his back.
"Mmm, Sister Xinyao, your hands feel so good." With her eyes half-closed, Lin Xueyi felt like she was really going to fall into depravity, and couldn't help but hum softly under the other person's hands.
Hearing the young master make such a pleasant sound in her hands, Ge Xinyao couldn't help but smile, her fingers still kneading his back.
"Xiaoxue, after this is over, are you going to go home, or do you plan to continue your adventures outside?"
"Hmm, I don't know, we'll see. I came here to find someone. If I can find them, I won't have to run around anymore. If I still can't find them, I'll have to keep wandering around outside."
Thinking of Ruoxue, Lin Xueyi felt very sad. That wretched woman still hadn't shown up. If she really found her, she would throw her on the bed and grind her into a mirror. Then she would see if Ruoxue would still run away.
Lin Xueyi, whose back was to Ge Xinyao, did not see the fleeting disappointment in Ge Xinyao's eyes after she spoke, but she could feel the pressure of the fingers touching her back change slightly.
"Xiaoxue, the person you're looking for must be very important to you, right?"
Actually, even Ge Xinyao herself didn't realize how sour her tone was, and Lin Xueyi naturally didn't notice either, only thinking that Ge Xinyao was showing concern for her.
"A very important person is someone who helped me a lot in getting me here."
My heart jumped again. "It's a woman?"
"Yes, she's a woman, a very good woman."
The question "Is she more important than me?" almost slipped out of Ge Xinyao's mouth. She felt like she was going crazy. Didn't Ling Xue know how much younger she was? How could she have such thoughts? She must be looking for her childhood sweetheart.
Only she knew how much bitterness she felt inside. Just as she was about to speak again, the carriage suddenly stopped.
After Lin Xueyi sat up from Ge Xinyao's lap in confusion, she heard Xin Qingluo's voice coming from outside.
"So it's the Liuli Jingzong sect from Zhongzhou. I am Xin Qingluo from the Yuling Sword Sect of Qingzhou. Greetings, everyone."
"Qingzhou? Ha, a small sect from Qingzhou dares to come to our Central State? It seems we've been too merciful, or are the people of Qingzhou overestimating themselves?"
Instead of welcoming words, they heard a mocking tone, a disdain as if they had seen a bug, which made everyone from the Jade Spirit Sword Sect unconsciously frown.
"Senior brother, maybe they're here to help the Holy Dragon Palace too. After all, there are so many righteous experts there. Coming here and taking a stroll can be a way to gain prestige. Who wouldn't want to come? They're just a little too arrogant and don't know their own limitations."
The sarcastic voices came from the other side, which made Lin Xueyi unable to help but open the car window and see the group of people from the Glazed Pure Sect dressed in gorgeous clothes.
Just when she was about to lose her temper, she suddenly heard a delicate shout from the sky, and a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes slowly descended from the sky.
"You've gone too far. Eradicating the Dragon Slaying Gang and annihilating the Netherworld Ghost Valley is a matter for all of us in the righteous path. The original intention was to unite all forces that could be united. How can you differentiate based on individuals?"
The cold rebuke, however, was nothing more than a show in Lin Xueyi's eyes. If she were truly angry, she wouldn't have listened for so long before coming over. She just wanted to make her presence known.
Lin Xueyi expressed no interest in such a woman, but Ge Xinyao peeked out and looked at the people of the Liuli Jingzong sect outside.
“Holy Maiden, we were just saying that. Besides, we just couldn’t stand seeing people from Qingzhou coming to Zhongzhou to join in the fun.”
“Even if you can’t stand it, you have to watch. Besides, the Jade Spirit Sword Sect has been around for quite some time, so we should give them some respect.” As she spoke, the woman called the Holy Maiden turned around and came to Xin Qingluo’s side.
"I am Tong Yumiao, the Holy Maiden of Water from the Pure Land Sect of Liuli. On behalf of my fellow disciples, I apologize to you."
Xin Qingluo was somewhat surprised by the apology. The Liuli Jingzong sect was already quite famous in the martial arts world of Zhongzhou, and in Qingzhou, it would probably be the strongest force. For a holy maiden of such a prominent sect to apologize to the leader of a small sect like her was beyond her expectations.
"Holy Maiden is joking. We did come to Zhongzhou this time to earn some reputation with the Holy Dragon Palace."
"Exorcising evil and eliminating demons is the duty of righteous people like us. How can we say that we are following along? We just have other matters to attend to, so we will leave first."
Lin Xueyi looked at the Water Saintess whose smile was so fake, and her lips pursed involuntarily. This hypocritical green tea was so extreme that it was best not to see her again.
However, Ge Xinyao had a good impression of this saintess, and before getting to know her better, this approach was quite effective in building her favorability.
With the departure of the group from the Glazed Pure Sect, the Jade Spirit Sword Sect returned to its previous state and continued its journey towards the Holy Dragon Palace.
The members of the Pure Land Sect were very puzzled by Tong Yumiao's previous actions. Logically speaking, their Holy Maiden had no need to apologize to those people, but she actually did it.
"Holy Maiden, they're just some country bumpkins from Qingzhou. Is it really necessary to apologize to them?"
The man who had previously mocked the Jade Spirit Sword Sect couldn't help but voice his confusion, and then heard the other party speak.
"You guys still don't understand, am I apologizing to them?"
As she spoke, Tong Yumiao took out a piece of jade glass from her bosom. Only then did the others notice that cracks had appeared on the jade glass.
"This is a piece of jade glass specially crafted by the ancestor. It is said that it can sense the cultivation level of people below the Grandmaster realm."
After these words were spoken, the others stared at the jade glass again in surprise, the cracks on it filling them with horror.
If one can sense cultivation levels below the Grandmaster realm, then what does the appearance of cracks represent? Need I say more? It must be an existence above the Grandmaster realm.
The men who had just been mocking him were now swallowing hard in horror. This was too terrifying. If their Holy Maiden hadn't been willing to admit her mistake, they probably would never have had the chance to do so again.
As for doubting that there is something wrong with this jade glass, that would be like doubting one's own ancestor; they are not that foolish.
"Thank you, Holy Maiden. If it weren't for you, we would have been in serious trouble this time."
"You're too kind. When we're traveling, we should all try to stay united." Although she was speaking to these disciples, Tong Yumiao's eyes were fixed on the direction of the Jade Spirit Sword Sect. Her gaze was unreadable, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.
Main Text: Chapter 216 First Arrival in Yunsheng City
From the moment we arrived at the Glazed Pure Sect after our journey from Meiwu, various forces from the Central Plains came rushing in, including the Azure Eagle Sect, the Butterfly Sect, and other forces. We encountered them all along the way.
Of course, some people welcomed the Jade Spirit Sword Sect from Qingzhou. Not all sects are the kind that look down on other places. Of course, some forces, like the Glazed Pure Sect at the beginning, have an attitude of "I just look down on you."
Lin Xueyi couldn't tolerate this, but Ge Xinyao stopped her impulse with her words. There was no other way; they weren't a powerful force in Qingzhou, and in Zhongzhou they had to keep a low profile. Although Ling Xue's skills and cultivation were high, who knew if there were stronger beings out there? This was Zhongzhou, after all. She didn't want Ling Xue to risk danger while standing up for them.
Of course, her actions later cost her some money, such as having to massage the young master's back and shoulders.
The only thing that brought them some relief was that they had finally arrived safely in Yun Sheng City, the closest city to the Holy Dragon Palace. Yun Sheng City was also known as one of the three major capital cities of Zhongzhou, alongside Tianhai City and Lingyu.
This was the information that suddenly popped into Lin Xueyi's mind as soon as she entered the city, which startled her. It meant that Lin Xueyi knew this city, or at least that she had been to this city before.
"So, that girl is connected to the Holy Dragon Palace after all." She muttered to herself in a low voice, so that no one else could hear her. Finally, she found Xueyi's house.
This can be considered an explanation for the girl. It's just a pity. He sighed slightly in his heart, wondering why Lin Xueyi was in Binzhou back then.
"This is a residence specially arranged for you by the Holy Dragon Palace. You can use it temporarily. Please rest here for a few days. There will be other arrangements afterward."
An outer disciple of the Holy Dragon Palace led the Jade Spirit Sword Sect members to the front of a large mansion, gave them a brief instruction, and then hurriedly left.
It's not that they look down on anyone, but there have been too many forces coming here recently, making it difficult for them, the outer disciples, to keep up. They can only attend to one person and then rush to the next.
Xin Qingluo could understand. After calming down the other disciples, she took them outside for a walk. After arriving here, they had almost run out of supplies and silver.
They had originally planned to get some silver after defeating the Dragon Slayer Gang and the Netherworld Ghost Valley, but before the war even started, they had already spent almost all their money.
They could only see if there was anything in Yunsheng City that needed their help, and then earn some silver to buy supplies later. As for the silver that Lin Xueyi brought, they didn't even think about it. They were already very grateful that she was willing to protect them along the way. How could they possibly use her money? Wouldn't that be shameless?
However, Xin Qingluo and her disciples had just reached the door and hadn't even left when they saw a very important figure from the Holy Dragon Palace approaching.
One of the three elders of the Holy Dragon Palace, Zhong Yuxiu, who held absolute power, came to visit them, which made the people from the Jade Spirit Sword Sect in Qingzhou feel flattered.
Mondley, the Tiger of the North of Yuanzhou, and Zhong Yuxiu, the Master of the Central Plains, are both experts below the Grandmaster level. Although it is said that Zhong Yuxiu is no match for Mondley, the two have never fought each other. Who can know the specifics?
But would such a master personally come to receive her? This was something Xin Qingluo dared not even imagine. However, when she thought of Lin Xueyi's existence, she understood why the other party had come here.
"Sect Leader Xin, please forgive me for coming uninvited."
"You're too kind, Elder Zhong. Our humble Jade Spirit Sword Sect is already flattered to receive Elder Zhong's personal reception. There's no need for us to ask for your forgiveness."
Xin Qingluo wouldn't feel anything because of a few polite words from the other party, but since the other party didn't suggest meeting Young Master Ling, she wouldn't suggest that the two of them meet either.
As for Zhong Yuxiu, her purpose in coming here was indeed her young mistress. Those who were sent out to protect her actually lost track of her, which greatly angered the Palace Master. If the spies hadn't later discovered that the young mistress was actually heading towards the Holy Dragon Palace with the Jade Spirit Sword Sect, those people would probably have buried themselves somewhere.
Like Elder Sun, she had watched the young lady grow up from childhood. Of course, they could see clearly what the situation was between the young lady and the palace master. However, the palace master just wouldn't budge. He was clearly worried to death, but he just wouldn't be the first to come here to pick up the young lady.
I can only let her work hard here. If the young lady misses home, she will naturally come out to see me after she finds out that I am here. If she still doesn't want to go back and is just worried about her sister's safety, she will naturally stay here.
Regardless of anything else, the young lady's current strength is already among the top in the martial arts world, which is a very happy thing for her elder who has watched her grow up.
"Sect Leader Xin, we at the Holy Dragon Palace are extremely grateful for your long journey. Here is a thousand taels of silver for you to use first. If it is not enough, we will send you more."
The Jade Spirit Sword Sect members, who had previously been puzzled by the origin of the title "Universe in a Sleeve," now understood. With a wave of his sleeve, a thousand taels of silver appeared before them. This kind of technique was practically an essential skill for both home and travel.
They thought it was to thank her for coming to help, but Zhong Yuxiu knew that these people didn't have much money. If her young lady suffered here, these people probably wouldn't be able to return to Qingzhou.
The palace master is good in every way, but when it comes to the young lady's affairs, she never uses her brain. Why don't you come and take her away? Why can't you talk about it at home? Why do you have to stubbornly hold on there? Don't think she doesn't know. Because the young lady has encountered all sorts of women outside, she has almost broken all of her favorite tea sets.
Now that the young lady is already at your doorstep, you're still stubbornly holding on. Ha, what will you do if you really run off with someone else?
As for why she didn't offer any advice, does she really think she's Elder Sun? Why offer advice? Isn't it more enjoyable to watch the show? It's much more fun to watch the spectacle between her own palace master and the young lady.
Oh, right, she remembered that the young lady had been getting along very well with Ge Xinyao, the disciple of the Jade Spirit Sword Sect known as the Gentle Jade Maiden, hadn't she? Very close, right? She should remember to talk to the Palace Master about it later. Maybe she could even catch the tea set the Palace Master threw out. Great, her tea set business had gained a new source of income.
Main Text: Chapter 217 Conflict in Yunsheng City
The thousand taels of silver brought by Elder Zhong Yuxiu of the Holy Dragon Palace completely resolved the predicament of the Jade Spirit Sword Sect, and also temporarily relieved them of the need to go out and find work.
After all, if people really saw them doing odd jobs here, it would be the Jade Spirit Sword Sect that would lose face. When it comes to saving face, who would want to go outside and embarrass themselves?
Everyone thought it was a good thing, except for Senior Brother Huo. There was no way around it, because after receiving a few taels of silver from the sect leader, he happily went to invite his Junior Sister Ge to go out for a stroll together.
As it turned out, he had already taken that young master Ling out for a stroll. It was like that classic line, "We are ready to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first? I was just about to launch an attack when you found another man."
Looking at the closed door and feeling the people coming and going behind him, Senior Brother Huo could only sigh helplessly and decided to go out on his own. If the opponent was about the same level as him, he would still be confident in competing with them, but the opponent was Young Master Ling.
How could he possibly compete? In terms of money, the other party had far more. In terms of influence, would a family capable of educating such powerful figures be an unknown clan? In terms of personal strength, ha! That person had instantly defeated enemies capable of annihilating their Jade Spirit Sword Sect dozens of times over. Was he supposed to fight them head-on? And finally, in terms of winning a beauty's heart? Forget it, he couldn't compete. He couldn't afford to offend them. He'd better stay as far away as possible. Out of sight, out of mind.
Unaware that her existence had caused despair in a promising senior brother of the Jade Spirit Sword Sect, Lin Xueyi was being led around outside by Ge Xinyao.
Her original plan was to sleep in late today and then take some time to visit the Holy Dragon Palace. Although it was quite a distance from here, she could still make the round trip in a day with her lightness skill.
However, before Lin Xueyi even got out of bed, Ge Xinyao had already run to her door and was calling her to get up, which ruined all of Lin Xueyi's plans.
Looking at the ten taels of silver in her hand and her excited expression, Lin Xueyi knew that she couldn't bring herself to refuse her again, so she could only nod and agree.
The result is this situation: she is holding the candied hawthorn that Ge Xinyao bought for her in one hand, and being pulled along this bustling street by the other.
Lin Xueyi looked up at the tall buildings on both sides. There were many people watching them, or perhaps not just them, but the entire street. This was probably to prevent evil people from causing trouble here.
Lin Xueyi could understand this arrangement. This place was now a gathering place for many righteous forces. If evil people came here to cause trouble, it would probably deal a great blow to the righteous forces.
The arrangement made by the Holy Dragon Palace is understandable; just consider it a kind of surveillance network. After all, there were cameras everywhere in his previous life, and he never found it inconvenient.
Unaware that those people were Lin Xueyi, who had been protecting her, she assumed they were simply monitoring the entire Yunsheng City and didn't pay much attention. She tossed the finished candied hawthorn into the trash can and picked up the folding fan from her waist again.
Seeing Lin Xueyi holding the folding fan she had given him, Ge Xinyao felt a slight sweetness in her heart. However, looking at the rather simple folding fan, she suddenly felt that the fan did not quite match Lin Xueyi's temperament.
