My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

He and Li Muchen, who was then the crown prince, wanted to help Su Chengying and Li Qiushui elope.

Li Qiushui was prepared, but in the end, Su Chengying did not come, and Li Qiushui waited at the ferry for a day and a night.

Then Su Chengying went to the south alone, and soon after, news spread that he had gotten married.

Upon hearing this news, Li Qiushui locked herself in her room for one night, and the next day, she agreed to marry the late emperor.

He and Li Qiushui have been together for almost thirty years, but Su Chengying has always been an obstacle he can't overcome.

"Qi Yu, if I can't go back, treat Yao'er well. If you dare to betray her, I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"

Qi Yu stopped sprinkling the medicine and looked at Qin Shuhuai strangely.

Don't just jump on the bandwagon! You might accidentally poison yourself with a single dose of milk.

As for taking care of Qin Xiyao, how can I take care of her when we have a completely innocent relationship?

"My lord, you can't die! Otherwise, who will the princess and Miss Qin, who are both orphans and widows, rely on?"

"You are a man, you have a responsibility to protect them for the rest of your life, it is your duty."

"Is it appropriate for you to suddenly shift the responsibility that you should be taking onto me?"

"And my relationship with Miss Qin is truly completely innocent!"

He and Qin Xiyao are truly innocent, even more innocent than a white flower!

Qin Shuhuai ignored Qi Yu's explanation and simply closed his eyes.

Qi Yu was speechless. Was this some kind of bullying because he was an honest person?

……

Soon Su Yue returned with a woman. The woman was quite pretty, and when her gaze fell on Qi Yu, she showed no trace of girlish shyness.

"Zhen Qing, take a look at Marquis Guanyong's injuries first!" Su Yue said.

Zhen Qing nodded, then came to the bedside. Qi Yu wisely got up and gave the seat to the woman.

Zhen Qing turned Guan Yonghou's only remaining hand over, then extended her jade-like fingers and placed them on Qin Shuhuai's wrist to take his pulse.

Watching the woman take Su Yue's pulse with such practiced skill, Qi Yu looked at her and asked in surprise, "Who is she?"

“My junior sister Zhen Qing has studied pharmacology since childhood and is proficient in medicine. Treating a minor injury is nothing to her!” Su Yue said calmly.

Zhen Qing and Han Xiaotian grew up together; they were childhood sweethearts.

Qi Yu nodded and said, "No wonder she always appears near our house, so she's your junior sister, my wife!"

"Several times I thought they were thieves and almost couldn't resist taking action!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yue looked at Qi Yu in surprise and asked, "You know about them?"

Qi Yu nodded and said, "When I release my true energy, I can see everything clearly within a four-mile radius, as if I know it by heart!"

Su Yue looked at Qi Yu with complicated emotions, and for the first time, she felt a sense of powerlessness.

In terms of talent, my husband is truly extraordinary.

She can also release her true energy and sense her surroundings, but not as extensively as Qi Yu.

When I was a half-step Grandmaster, my range was at most one mile.

The Taoist method of tempering willpower is the strongest, and Taoism is the most powerful in the control and application of true qi.

"Husband, what do you plan to do about the leader?" Su Yue asked softly.

She had been thinking about this issue for the past few days. Now that Qi Yu already knew, their positions were now opposed.

She didn't want to put Qi Yu in a difficult position!

Qi Yu smiled and said, "Once you finish your seclusion, I will hand over the position of sect leader to you, and then we can go back to the south together, or we can go back to Jiangzhou City!"

After pondering for a moment, Su Yue said, "What about the sect leader? He values ​​you so much!"

Qi Yu's smile gradually faded, and then he fell silent.

"I can only apologize to my teacher!"

Chapter 180 Return Journey

With the return of Marquis Guanyong, Qi Yu's mission came to an end, and Qi Yu and Yan Dingfeng, the ruler of the Dading Dynasty, resigned.

Yan Dingfeng readily agreed, which was both expected and unexpected.

Qi Yu has already informed the Dayun Dynasty that someone has come to meet them at Qinglong Pass; it is the newly appointed commander of the Chilin Army, Su Lie.

Some people questioned Su Lie's rise to power, because Su Lie was only a fourth-rank martial artist, yet he became the commander of the Blazing Forest Army.

Then someone dug up Su Lie's background!

Su Lie and Qi Yu's wife, Su Yue, are from the same family and share the same roots.

Su Yue is Su Lie's cousin; in other words, Su Lie is Qi Yu's brother-in-law.

Given this connection, it's hard not to suspect that they might have used connections or back channels.

Su Lie became the commander of the Chilin Army because of Wen Zun Qi Yu?

So initially, protests broke out in the military, and it almost split apart.

Li Muchen watched from the sidelines, refraining from intervening to suppress the fire, leaving everything to the Chilin Army to handle.

Then, Su Lie used his iron fist and ruthless methods to successfully suppress the dissent.

Su Lie showed those who doubted him why he was so handsome through his actions.

Su Lie is different from Guan Yonghou. Guan Yonghou advocates moderation and would never take the initiative to attack easily; he is relatively conservative.

Su Lie, on the other hand, is very aggressive and acts swiftly and decisively, never backing down easily.

After Qin Shuhuai was captured, Su Lie organized the Chilin Army to fight three battles.

There were two matches against the Daqing Dynasty, with each side winning and losing. The last match was against the Dading Dynasty, which took place two months ago.

At that time, Qi Yu was still in the Great Xuan Dynasty!

As a result, the elite troops of the Great Ding Dynasty were completely wiped out!

There were no prisoners of war, no prisoners of war at all. From the commander to the logistics soldiers, they were all wiped out!

Su Lie's current reputation is earned through fighting!

In the imperial court, besides Su Lie, there was another member of the Su family.

This man was named Su Cheng, formerly a guest minister to the Crown Prince, and served as a fifth-rank official in the Imperial Secretariat.

After the Chang family and the remaining six great families retired, a major reshuffle began in the imperial court, and many officials with bad records were replaced.

As a result, Su Cheng was promoted and appointed as the Left Chancellor.

Both young members of the Su family hold high positions and important posts in the imperial court.

Many people couldn't help but recall the Su family's property being confiscated a hundred years ago, and their feelings were very complicated.

The demise of the Su family was directly related to the imperial court; it could be said that the Su family was destroyed by the royal Li family.

It feels strange that the Su family is now working for the Li family.

But no matter what, the Su family has stood up again.

……

Two carriages drove away from Jinshui City, with a flag flying on the roof of each carriage—the national flag of the Dayun Dynasty.

It takes about half a month to get from Jinshui City to Qinglong Pass.

Anything can happen in the next two weeks!

In the past, Qi Yu might have been worried, but now he is not worried at all.

Because Su Yue is there!

My wife is very capable; she can easily take on a whole group by herself.

I'll just happily live off my wife!

Accompanying them was Zhen Qing, Su Yue's junior sister, who treated Qin Shuhuai's injuries along the way.

They encountered several attacks along the way, but Qi Yu didn't see anyone, and Su Yue dealt with them all.

For the first time, Qi Yu gained a real understanding of his wife.

She's very strong!

As Qi Yu drove the carriage, he looked at Su Yue, who was sitting down with her arm linked with his, and asked:

"My lady, you are a grandmaster, but why is your body so soft?"

Qi Yu raised his long-standing question: Grandmasters have very strong physical abilities, and ordinary sharp weapons cannot cut through them.

Qi Yu couldn't understand why Su Yue would get cut by broken tiles.

Su Yue linked arms with Qi Yu and leaned against him. Hearing Qi Yu's words, Su Yue smiled slightly.

"The cultivation methods are different. The method I practice does not disperse the tempering of the physical body, but rather focuses more on concentration, compressing the true qi to make it purer and undergo a qualitative change!"

Qi Yu stroked his chin, lost in thought.

When I first practiced the Azure Nether Technique, my true energy didn't temper my body; instead, it dissipated.

If true qi is not scattered to temper the body, but instead focused on gathering and concentrating, then the purity of true qi should be greatly improved.

Even more so, one's cultivation level will improve relatively quickly!

Qi Yu seemed to have a vague idea of ​​why his wife was so powerful.

Using pure true qi to activate sword techniques and special skills will definitely make them more powerful, and will also consume less true qi.

Unleash the strongest combat power with the least amount of true energy.

Su Yue took the path of 'qualitative change' instead of focusing on quantity like most martial artists.

Seeing that Qi Yu had suddenly stopped talking, Su Yue looked up at his profile and smiled, "Why aren't you saying anything? Are you scared?"
