Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

After returning to Wushuang City, Xu Qing stayed in the inner city for several days before leading most of the Tianxia Hui disciples back to the main headquarters.

Because he was worried about Mingyue, Nie Feng stayed in Wushuang City to oversee this branch.

Bu Jingyun, Duan Lang, Dugu Yifang, Shi Wuzun, the Second Blade Emperor, Nie Renwang, Duan Shuai, and others all returned to the headquarters of the World Society together.

Of course, the divine doctor also accepted Xu Qing's invitation during this period and joined the World Society.

Xu Qing was quite interested in the miraculous medicine that the divine doctor was going to develop in the future.

Yu Yue was also left in Wushuang City and became a blacksmith master of the World Alliance.

Yu Chuchu was completely devoted to Bu Jingyun, so she accompanied him back to the headquarters of the World Society.

Upon arriving at Tianshan, Dugu Yifang, Shi Wuzun, and the Second Blade Emperor were all assigned by Xu Qing to the Martial Arts Tower, becoming the three strongest gatekeepers to hone the disciples of the World Alliance.

As for Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai, they were assigned to the Hidden Martial Pavilion to be in charge of its affairs.

Xu Qing summoned Qin Shuang and passed on the Ten Strong Martial Arts and the Xuanwu True Skill to his eldest disciple, instructing him to focus on cultivation.

After that, he went into seclusion again.

This time, Xu Qing reaped a great harvest, acquiring and comprehending as many as five supernatural abilities, as well as various martial arts techniques.

These all require time to cultivate and master, transforming them into one's true inner strength.

However, before going into seclusion, Qin Shuang found Xu Qing and brought up a matter.

"Master, the World Society has now unified the martial arts world, and you have become the supreme martial arts master, invincible under heaven."

Shouldn't we let our junior sister regain her freedom?!

The junior sister Qin Shuang mentioned was none other than You Ruo, the daughter of Xiong Ba.

In the past, there was a plan to harm You Ruo in order to use this against Xiong Ba.

For You Ruo's safety, Xiong Ba hid her away.

Now, ten years later, Qin Shuang feels truly sorry for her junior sister.

The ten-year confinement, though intended to protect You Ruo, was incredibly painful as it prevented her from having any contact with the outside world for all those years.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing was slightly lost in thought.

Youruo's experience was indeed tragic, and it was time for her to return to a normal life.

"Shuang'er, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll have a proper talk with Youruo after I come out of seclusion."

"Yes, Master!"

After Xu Qing went into seclusion, Qin Shuang immediately went to You Ruo's place of seclusion.

It was an extremely quiet and secluded place in the back mountain of the World Society, accessible only through a special secret passage of the World Society.

The rest of the people have no idea.

As Xiong Ba's most trusted confidant, Qin Shuang naturally knew about this passage.

He walked through the passage and arrived at a vast lake, where a small island sat in the center.

That small island is where You Ruo lives, the Lakeside Cottage.

Qin Shuang rose lightly and took several steps on the lake surface. Waves of cold air burst forth, and the lake surface instantly froze, revealing a snow-white path.

Suddenly, dozens of sharp bamboo shoots burst forth from the small island in the middle of the lake, heading towards Qin Shuang.

Qin Shuang smiled slightly, her movements as light and graceful as a swallow, easily avoiding Li Zhu.

"What superb lightness skill!" a delicate voice exclaimed.

As soon as those words were spoken, a figure in white shot out from the small island in the middle of the lake.

His figure was like the wind, leaving afterimages in mid-air. The martial art he used was none other than the Wind God Leg technique, "Catching Shadows in the Wind"!
The figure moved with incredible speed, arriving before Qin Shuang in an instant, and unleashed a powerful kick, imbued with divine force, aimed directly at Qin Shuang's face.

Qin Shuang's expression remained unchanged. She slightly raised her left arm, reached out, and with incredible precision and ease, suppressed the force of the kick and caught it in her hand.

"Junior Sister, it's been so many years, your temper has grown quite a bit!"

Qin Shuang smiled. Although he could not be called handsome, his profound and powerful martial arts skills already gave him the air of a grandmaster.

"Senior Brother, it's you?! Where's Father?!"

You Ruo was slightly taken aback. Seeing that Qin Shuang was the only one there, a hint of disappointment appeared in her eyes.

Qin Shuang gently lowered her left hand that was holding You Ruo's foot and said calmly, "Master is in seclusion and doesn't have time to come."

"Seclusion! All he knows is seclusion!"

Upon hearing those two words, You Ruo was clearly like a powder keg ignited, unable to stop herself from cursing:

"Damn it, he hasn't come to see me in so long, has this old guy forgotten about me?!" Qin Shuang smiled helplessly when she heard You Ruo swear: "Junior Sister, don't be angry."

"Not angry? That old bastard isn't coming to see me again, and I can't even be angry?!"

You Ruo's foul language was completely unlike that of a gentle woman.

Qin Shuang shook her head, but she understood that You Ruo was just venting her dissatisfaction.

After all, being hidden in this place for so long, there was no one to talk to on ordinary days.

It's hard not to be irritable.

"I have some good news for you, would you like to hear it?" Qin Shuang asked with a mysterious smile.

"Good news?! What good news could you possibly have?!"

You Ruo curled her lip, showing little respect for Qin Shuang.

The two have known each other since childhood and have a very good relationship.

"That's great news about your freedom," Qin Shuang said, blinking and teasing him.

"free?!"

Youruo's expression changed instantly, and a surprised smile immediately appeared on her face.

Her smile was so beautiful that Qin Shuang couldn't help but be captivated.

"Senior Brother, tell me quickly, did Father allow me to go out?!"

You Ruo urged.

Qin Shuang asked with a faint smile, "Since I've come all this way, shouldn't you serve me some good tea?"

You Ruo chuckled, pulled Qin Shuang to the lakeside pavilion, personally brewed tea for Qin Shuang, and then looked at Qin Shuang with anticipation once again.

Qin Shuang took a sip of tea, not wanting to disappoint her junior sister any further, and said with a smile:

"You guessed right, your master has indeed set you free."

You Ruo was taken aback when she heard this. Having been hidden here for ten years, she had longed to leave this place every moment.

But she had previously understood that this was unlikely.

What I said earlier was just a joke; I never expected it to actually be true!

"I'm free?!" You Ruo was stunned, somewhat incredulous.

"That's right, congratulations, junior sister. From now on, you won't have to live here anymore."

"You can go home now!" Qin Shuang nodded.

"I'm finally free!"

You Ruo laughed, a hearty laugh, filled with excitement and exhilaration.

But amidst her excitement, You Ruo asked curiously, "Why did my father set me free? Isn't he worried that I'll be kidnapped again?!"

"Now that Master's martial arts are unparalleled and he has unified the martial world, he is the supreme ruler of the martial arts world. Who would dare to provoke the World Alliance?" Qin Shuang said with a smile.

The World Society will unify the world, and all people in the martial arts world must maintain awe towards its disciples.

Who would dare to lay a hand on the daughter of the supreme martial arts master?

Do you really think all those masters in the world are made of clay?!
"Father has become the supreme martial arts master?! He has unified the martial arts world!?" Youruo's pretty face was full of shock.

"He finally did it." At the same time, she was happy for her father's success.

"He's already invincible, why is he still in seclusion?! He didn't even come to pick me up and take me home in person!"

You Ruo started complaining again.

"The path of martial arts is boundless. Master must have gained new insights from his recent battle with the Sword Saint and the legend of the martial arts world."

"It's perfectly normal for him to go into seclusion!" Qin Shuang explained.

"Ah!? My father fought a great battle with the Sword Saint and the martial arts legend!? What was the result?!" You Ruo couldn't help but show a worried expression on her face again.

She had heard of the legends of the Sword Saint and the martial arts legends; they were all top-tier experts renowned throughout the martial arts world.

Qin Shuang smiled and slowly told You Ruo everything that had happened recently.

After hearing this, You Ruo was extremely shocked and realized that her father's invincibility was not just Qin Shuang's boast.

It was not that they were truly invincible, but rather that they earned it through sheer fighting!
