Chapter 394 The Young Singer's Journey 63
Chapter 394 The Young Singer's Journey 63
Xiao Yu's criteria for classifying people in the martial arts world are both clear and explicit:
Firstly, there are those江湖人士 (jianghu figures) who can abide by their duties and keep to themselves; they know how to restrain themselves and do not easily overstep the boundaries of the rules.
Secondly, there are those who possess talent and potential, are willing to submit to him, and are willing to contribute to the country and its people, thus becoming pillars of the nation.
As for the others...
snort!
Those are all obstacles that should be completely removed.
"How is Nan Jue doing?" Xiao Yu asked, walking slowly with his hands behind his back.
Su Muyu, who was behind him, quickly said, "There is no definite news yet. It is likely that the infighting between Wu Qinghuan and Ao Yu has not ended yet."
Xiao Yu nodded slightly and said decisively, "Have people keep a close eye on the situation over there. If there is any disturbance, report it to me immediately."
The timing of the battle between Bei Li and Nan Jue depends entirely on when the internal strife within Nan Jue ends.
After all, given Emperor Mingde's aversion to war, he would never easily allow Beili to provoke a war.
Indeed, since Emperor Mingde ascended the throne, in the numerous clashes between Beili and Nanjue, Nanjue had always taken the initiative to provoke, while Beili had always maintained a defensive posture.
Su Muyu nodded, indicating that she understood, and then added an important piece of information: "Your Highness, there is news from the sea."
The sea he was referring to was naturally Xiao Lingchen.
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu involuntarily paused: "The person has been found?"
"Yes, the person you're looking for has already landed and is riding at full speed towards the border."
"Good!" Upon hearing this news, Xiao Yu's eyes lit up instantly, and he said to Long Xie beside him, "Now that he has shown himself, you should make arrangements on your side as soon as possible to send that item out."
"Yes." Long Xie nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Xiao Yu felt a sense of joy, and even his steps became lighter.
Just then, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, and his eyes inadvertently caught a familiar face among the soldiers training in the distance, which instantly drew his full attention.
Among the soldiers whose skin was tanned to a crisp by the scorching sun, that soldier's fair skin was like the first snow of winter, not to mention his handsome appearance.
When their eyes met, the man instinctively flinched back.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yu's face showed a hint of surprise, then he waved to the person with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, the man grinned, ran over quickly, gave a military salute, and said with a barely perceptible hint of excitement in his voice, "Your Highness!"
Xiao Yu gently shook his head, a smile in his eyes, and asked, "When did you arrive?"
Upon hearing this, Wuxin smiled shyly and was about to speak when Xiao Yu reached out and tapped his forehead, saying with a teasing tone, "Don't pretend, this expression doesn't suit you."
Hearing Xiao Yu's teasing words, Wu Xin rolled her eyes at him, but the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, and she replied in a light tone, "It arrived half a month ago."
When Wuxin learned that Xiao Yu was going to the border, her heart tightened.
Although he knew that with Xiao Yu's cultivation level, even if Bei Li and Nan Jue went to war, Xiao Yu would be safe and sound, he still couldn't help but come along, thinking that he was now at least at the Xiaoyao Heaven Realm, and could at least help Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu gave Long Xie a wink, and the latter immediately understood. He went straight to Wu Xin's group and, after some negotiation, successfully brought Wu Xin to Xiao Yu's side.
"How are you feeling in the army? Is it tough?" Xiao Yu asked gently.
Wuxin was initially uneasy, fearing that Xiao Yu would be displeased that he had appeared directly in front of everyone.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu did not blame or complain, but simply asked him softly if he had worked hard, which warmed his heart.
"It's alright." Wuxin shook his head.
Strangely enough, he was usually eloquent and quick-witted with anyone, but in front of Xiao Yu, he inexplicably restrained his sharpness and disliked being talkative.
He answered Xiao Yu's questions truthfully, and made no attempt to hide what he was thinking.
He's so honest, it's unlike him at all.
Xiao Yu strolled leisurely ahead, occasionally asking about Wuxin's recent situation, while Wuxin followed beside him, answering his questions one by one.
Long Xie and Su Muyu wisely kept a certain distance, following behind the two at a distance, not disturbing their conversation.
The two walked and talked, and time passed quietly.
Finally, Wuxin mustered his courage and, with a hint of anticipation and trepidation in his voice, said to Xiao Yu, "I've now broken through to the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm, so I should be able to help you, right?"
Looking into Wuxin's expectant eyes, Xiao Yu's smile deepened: "Alright, if you're willing, stay and lend me a hand."
Upon hearing Xiao Yu's affirmative answer, Wu Xin's eyes instantly lit up with a dazzling light, as if the whole world had become brighter, and his face was filled with undisguised joy.
Seeing this scene from behind, Su Muyu felt a subtle feeling welled up inside her. She felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was strange.
-------------------------------------
Xiao Se and his companions encountered wave after wave of ambushes, leaving them all exhausted. The prolonged fighting and escape had pushed their physical and mental strength to the limit, and they seemed on the verge of collapse at any moment.
Looking at everyone's disheveled state, Lei Wujie couldn't help but sigh, "If only my martial arts were as powerful as the White-Clad Sword Immortal's, we wouldn't have had to escape so hard."
Upon hearing this, Sikong Qianluo glared fiercely at Lei Wujie.
The title "White-Clad Sword Immortal" was given to Xiao Yu by people in the martial arts world.
People in the martial arts world didn't know his identity or his level of cultivation; they only saw that he always wore white clothes, so they gave him this name.
However, to Sikong Qianluo, Xiao Yu was the one who injured her father, and therefore her enemy.
Hearing Lei Wujie mention Xiao Yu, he was naturally displeased and immediately snorted coldly.
"Humph!"
Lei Wujie had only spoken carelessly for a moment, but now he realized he had said something he shouldn't have, and immediately shut his mouth.
Now that he has become the disciple of his elder sister Li Hanyi, and Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng are his two masters as his sister's fellow disciples, he really shouldn't bring up this matter again.
Xiao Se observed the subtle change in the relationship between the two, shook his head inwardly, and coughed lightly to break the silence: "Alright, let's think about how to deal with the people behind us now."
