Joy of Life: Invincible Starting from Basic Swordsmanship

Chapter 96: The Beginning of Probing by All Sides

The news of Ye Chengfeng's breakthrough to the Grandmaster level spread like wildfire, reaching the entire world in just half a month!

Emperor Qing naturally received this news as well.

But this only made him more confused.

He sent people to test Ye Chengfeng, but they were easily killed by Ye Chengfeng.

This result itself demonstrates that Ye Chengfeng has already become a Grandmaster.

And now, news has come from Northern Qi that Ye Chengfeng has broken through to the Grandmaster level!

This includes another piece of news that came back from the capital earlier: the appearance of a giant, transparent sword above the Northern Qi palace.

Emperor Qing himself was a Grandmaster, and he knew that this was a method that only a Grandmaster could possess.

"He's already a Grandmaster, and he's broken through again? Or did he never even break through before?"

Hong Sixiang, who was standing beside Emperor Qing, dared not speak.

But Emperor Qing had no intention of letting him off the hook: "What do you think?"

"This old servant does not know."

If Hong Sixiang gets involved in matters of the court, Emperor Qing probably won't care.

But when it came to the Grandmaster, Hong Sixiang dared not say a word, or even comment on the matter.

Emperor Qing glanced at him with lowered eyes, then ordered, "Go to Northern Qi and test him again!"

Before Hong Sixiang could respond, Emperor Qing's powerful true energy was poured into Hong Sixiang's body.

Hong Sixiang knew that the trip to Northern Qi was now unavoidable.

"When does Your Majesty require this old servant to depart?"

"Immediately, I will have Chen Pingping clear the way for you."

Although Emperor Qing infused Hong Sixiang with true energy, giving him the aura of a Grandmaster.

He himself is also one of the strongest among the ninth-rank martial artists.

However, he is not a true Grandmaster. He would be exposed as soon as he fights a Grandmaster.

Hong Sixiang was very fast, and his reason for going to Northern Qi this time was also very simple.

They went to congratulate Ye Chengfeng on breaking through to the Grandmaster level.

Since Ye Chengfeng has publicly announced that he has broken through to the Grandmaster level, it is perfectly reasonable for Hong Sixiang, the "Honorary Grandmaster" of Nanqing, to go and congratulate him.

At the same time, Ye Liuyun also rushed to Northern Qi, for the exact same reason.

Apart from Emperor Qing, almost all the Grandmasters in name, except for Si Gu Jian, gathered in the capital of Northern Qi.

Si Gu Jian did not come to Northern Qi, but he did send his disciple Wang Xi.

This was Wang Xi's first public appearance before the various powerful forces.

Ten days have passed since Ye Chengfeng emerged from seclusion.

The Northern Qi imperial palace today is more like Ye Chengfeng's palace.

Because the entire palace was inhabited by his women, except for the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi.

No, there's also Si Lili, that woman is Fan Xian's woman.

Zhan Doudou's bedroom is the same place where Ye Chengfeng previously went into seclusion.

Four women were sitting on the bed.

They were divided into two factions, with Zhan Doudou and Zhan Pianpian naturally belonging to one faction.

Fan Ruoruo and Ye Ling'er are both from Nanqing, which automatically fulfills the conditions for forming a team.

To put it bluntly, this is still a power struggle between Zhan Doudou and Fan Ruoruo.

For no other reason than that Zhan Pianpian and Ye Ling'er were stunned and didn't even understand what had happened.

"I have long heard of Miss Ruoruo, a famous talented woman in Nanqing. Seeing her today, I can confirm that her reputation is well-deserved."

"Little Dou Dou is joking. I never imagined that the talented and eloquent Emperor of Northern Qi was actually a woman."

The conversation between the two left Zhan Pianpian and Ye Ling'er dumbfounded.

Unlike Fan Ruoruo and Zhan Doudou, they simply went with the flow and didn't really like Ye Chengfeng.

Zhan Pianpian quietly moved next to Ye Ling'er and nudged her with her elbow.

"Have you noticed? Something's off about the atmosphere here."

"I've figured it out! I feel a chill run down my spine. I'm a martial artist, for goodness' sake! What's going on?"

"I don't know!"

At this point, Ye Chengfeng could only step in to smooth things over.

"Your Majesty, shouldn't you be greeting the guests?"

As soon as Ye Chengfeng finished speaking, Zhan Doudou turned her head around abruptly.

"What do you call me? When you need me, you call me 'my darling,' but when you don't, you call me 'Your Majesty the Emperor'?"

Ye Chengfeng sighed, not wanting to look at her even once more.

"I'm tired. Let's destroy it!"

At the same time, he thought to himself, "I wasted my time telling her the story of 'A Chinese Odyssey'!"

Joking aside, like Fan Ruoruo, Zhan Doudou is also very clear about when to joke and when to restrain herself.

"Alright, I'll go and greet the Grandmasters first. I'll leave this to you, Miss Ruoruo."

With the Grandmaster's visit, Zhan Doudou had no choice but to take it seriously.

She doesn't have the same confidence as Emperor Qing, and she needs to be careful when facing a Grandmaster.

After Zhan Doudou left, Ye Chengfeng looked at Fan Ruoruo's expectant gaze, which seemed to be waiting for his explanation.

Suddenly, I felt a sense of frustration.

"This is truly an accident!"

"So unexpectedly, someone else got pregnant with your child?"

Ye Chengfeng never expected that Fan Ruoruo already knew about Zhan Doudou's pregnancy.

It must have been when Ye Chengfeng was away that Zhan Doudou and Fan Ruoruo had an in-depth conversation.

Fan Ruoruo also knew that it was unrealistic to ask Ye Chengfeng to leave Zhan Doudou. If Ye Chengfeng really chose to abandon Zhan Doudou for her sake,

Does that mean that she will be abandoned in the future for the same reason?

But she was still angry, especially when she turned around and saw the two silly guys still grinning foolishly, which made her even angrier.

"Alright, let's let it go this time. I hope there won't be a next time!"

Seeing Ye Chengfeng looking like a wilted eggplant, Fan Ruoruo almost burst out laughing.

"There will absolutely not be a next time. Don't you know me?"

What is Ye Chengfeng's strength?

How could he not see that Fan Ruoruo was about to burst out laughing?

Seeing that Ye Chengfeng had given in, Fan Ruoruo chose to forgive him.

"Brother Chengfeng, you really haven't broken through to the Grandmaster level?"

Like Zhan Doudou, Fan Ruoruo was also very curious.

She also thought that Ye Chengfeng had broken through to the next level while they were in Jiangnan.

Whether before or after the battle with Ye Liuyun.

Especially when Ye Chengfeng was in Jiangnan, he was basically in seclusion. Anyone would assume that Ye Chengfeng was in a critical period of breakthrough or a period of consolidating his realm.

After they were attacked, Ye Chengfeng resolved the matter in a very short time, which made Fan Ruoruo even more certain that Ye Chengfeng was already a Grandmaster.

"I didn't actually break through, but I did develop a technique that's even more important than my own breakthrough to Grandmaster!"

That's right, Ye Chengfeng didn't break through to the Grandmaster level, but he didn't leave empty-handed during this seclusion.

Ye Chengfeng not only improved his own combat power a lot, but also perfected the Sword Heart Demon Seed.

A sword-heart demon seed with no side effects.

"What powerful move is it?"

After Ye Chengfeng said that, Fan Ruoruo also became curious.

You'll find out soon enough.

With that, Ye Chengfeng turned to the other two simple-minded men and said, "You two go out first, I have something to say to Ruoruo alone!"

"You wouldn't! In broad daylight, you're such a pervert!"

Ye Ling'er retorted as soon as Ye Chengfeng finished speaking.

Then he looked at Fan Ruoruo strangely, thinking that Ye Chengfeng had become lustful.

Fan Ruoruo was so embarrassed!

With a dark expression, Ye Chengfeng threw Ye Ling'er and Zhan Pianpian out of the palace.

"What are these two idiots thinking about all day?"

Ye Chengfeng was truly speechless. Their identities hadn't given them any social skills or worldly wisdom; on the contrary, they were very clear about the things between men and women!
