Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 109 A big black pot
Upon entering the Northern Headquarters of the Heavenly Martial Group, Zhao Youyue looked around with great interest, after all, this was likely to be their permanent residence in the future!

Zhao Youyue walked into the main hall and, seeing that there were people there, took the initiative to explain her purpose without waiting for questions.

"Hello, I'm here to see my uncle, Zhao Zongshan, a Heavenly Warrior from the Heavenly Martial Group."

The man enthusiastically gave directions, saying:
"I don't know Minister Zhao's schedule. Go that way, turn right and go to the sixth house. Minister Zhao's apprentice is there!"

"Thank you!" Zhao Youyue ran over happily.

Lin Xiufeng followed with a smile.

Ren and Fang Yuan took a few steps, then turned around and saw Lin Qiru standing motionless with an unusual expression.

"What's wrong? Let's go."

“…Hmm.” Lin Qiru then took a step.

A hint of doubt flashed across Fang Yuan's face, and he asked:
"You know the deputy commander's uncle?"

"I don't know him, I've only heard the name, it might not be the same person."

Lin Qiru didn't say anything more.

He laughed and said, "There are so many people with the same name! It would be great if we actually knew each other, I would take special care of you!"

"..." Lin Qiru remained silent, and the expression on her face made Renxing feel that she was not as kind as usual.

So, putting aside her willfulness, she realized that the Zhao Zongshan that Lin Qiru knew was not someone who made her happy.

"Qin Yong!" Zhao Youyue exclaimed in surprise, then asked with sudden realization, "You're my uncle's apprentice? Zhao Zongshan's apprentice?"

Qin Yong was dumbfounded... completely stunned!
When he learned that Zhao Youyue was very likely his master's niece, he went back alone to look for her.

After combining all the information, it was confirmed that among the people in the Youlin Feiyue group that Fantian was looking for, one was Zhao Youyue and the other was Lin Xiufeng!
Before they even met, they learned the unfortunate news that the Youlin Feiyue Group had been wiped out by the Great Commander-in-Chief Fantian.

For this, Qin Yong felt guilty and remorseful, feeling that he had let his master down!

If he had just said a few more words and had a proper chat when they met in the wilderness and were exchanging wolf bone powder, they wouldn't have missed out!

There would have been no tragedy later on!
As a result, Zhao Youyue suddenly reappeared!

"You...you...Junior Sister, you're still alive!"

Qin Yong was so excited and happy that he almost hugged her. If Lin Xiufeng hadn't stopped him, he really would have hugged her!
"I'm so sorry! I got too excited. You don't know, I only found out about the relationship between my junior sister and Master when I came back to celebrate Master's birthday!"

"I rushed back to find you, but I couldn't find you anywhere. Later, I discovered that the Fantian Organization was acting strangely, so I investigated nearby and finally heard the news that the Youlin Feiyue Group had been wiped out!"

"I wanted to punch myself right then and there! You have no idea how much I regretted it!"

Zhao Youyue was unaware of these things, and upon suddenly hearing them, she felt a little guilty.

In that incident, four clones died!
"It's all in the past, don't worry about it. I didn't know at the time either. If I had known, I definitely would have said it."

"Speaking of which, junior sister, you knew I was from the Heavenly Martial Group back then, so why didn't you ask about Master?"

Qin Yong has been completely baffled by this.

"Uh...it was a twist of fate. My uncle wouldn't let me come, saying that even if I wasn't a Celestial Warrior, I should be sent back. I wasn't actually a Celestial Warrior at the time..."

"Ah!" Qin Yong recalled the scene and suddenly realized what had happened. He smiled and said to Lin Xiufeng:

"You! You weren't being generous back then! You just didn't understand why you used wolf bones to make soup! You were only being generous because you were afraid I'd take it from you! I was wondering why—oh dear!"

Qin Yong was both amused and exasperated, and Lin Xiufeng, looking back, also felt it was a twist of fate.

"Senior Brother Qin Yong, don't be upset. It's all in the past, and we're all doing well. Let me introduce you. This is Ren Xing, Fang Yuan, and Lin Qiru. They're all from our Youlin Feiyue Group, and they're all Heavenly Warriors!"

Qin Yong's gaze swept over them one by one, and he said:

"Bloody Hand Puppet, Viper. Junior Sister, you're the peerless Sword Saint, and Lin Xiufeng is the brilliant strategist! You've already made a name for yourselves by causing chaos in the Heaven-Turning Organization! Back then, the Heaven-Defying, Heaven-Rebellious, and Heavenly Martial Groups all sent people to find you, wanting to recruit you before the Heaven-Turning Organization could wipe you out." Finally, Qin Yong's eyes lit up as he looked Lin Qiru over, and he greeted her, saying:

"I haven't heard of this person before. Let's get acquainted. My name is Qin Yong, and I'm at the 12th level of the 18th Heavenly Martial Power level."

Lin Xiufeng and his group were all astonished; Tian Wuli was on par with the Heavenly Commander!

"Hello." Lin Qiru's reaction was indifferent. Zhao Youyue felt that her reaction was a little too indifferent, which was different from usual.

Qin Yong then asked Zhao Youyue:

"By the way! The Great Commander-in-Chief of the Heavenly Empire personally led the troops to besiege you, so how come you're all here unharmed?"

Zhao Youyue was already worried about how to explain this...

The four clones clearly died in battle, a fact witnessed by many martial artists in Fantian.

No matter how you explain it, it doesn't make sense!

Just as Zhao Youyue was racking her brains and getting anxious, Lin Xiufeng took over the conversation.

"It's actually very simple, we didn't die at all. If someone else asks us about this, we won't say anything, after all, we had an agreement with the Great Commander-in-Chief."

"An agreement?" Qin Yong was taken aback, and many guesses popped into his mind.

"To put it simply, we caused too much trouble. The Great Commander-in-Chief had already encountered us before the Great Encirclement and Suppression, and he didn't gain any advantage."

"Then suddenly it was suggested that there was a peaceful way to resolve the issue."

"Our initial conflict with Fantian is actually quite funny! It was just because we were forced to make a transaction when we asked about prices at a bone meal shop. We didn't have any deep-seated hatred to begin with, and it would have been better to settle things quickly to avoid further trouble."

"After discussing it, everyone accepted the peace proposal from the Great Commander-in-Chief."

"Later, we pretended to cause trouble in Fantian City and fell into a trap. In fact, it was all arranged by the Grand Commander of Fantian."

"On the one hand, it allowed the Tianfan Organization to regain face, and on the other hand, it allowed the Tianfan Commander to give an explanation to his subordinates."

"The Grand Commander of the Overturning Heaven created the illusion that we were killed, while we remained silent and pretended to be dead, staying away from the central region of the Overturning Heaven organization."

Lin Xiufeng's elaborate fabrication, delivered with such earnestness, left Zhao Youyue utterly impressed. If the environment hadn't been inappropriate, she would have tied up her hair on the spot and given Lin Xiufeng a reward.

Fang Yuan secretly marveled at what he heard!

It's hard to believe that this blame was pinned on the Great Commander-in-Chief.

Everyone within the Tianfan organization believes it!

Commander Ren Fantian tried every explanation he could think of, but there was only one question: If it wasn't an act, how come all four people who were supposed to be killed were still alive and kicking?
No matter how hard you try, even the supreme commander of the Heavenly Empire can't prove himself!

I really want to give Lin Xiufeng a huge compliment!
The Great Commander-in-Chief was their enemy to begin with. This explanation not only justified their resurrection but also pinned a huge blame on the enemy!
She was so happy!

Qin Yong gave Lin Xiufeng and the others a thumbs-up with deep respect.

"You Linfeiyue truly lives up to her reputation as the nemesis of the Heavens! The Heavens-Overlord is domineering and tyrannical, yet you've managed to make him look so pathetic! You're willing to make such a deal just to save face! You guys are truly amazing!"

"It was all by chance, and luck played a huge part, so let's not talk about it. After all, we had an agreement, so it's best not to say more about it."

Lin Xiufeng pretended to care about credit, and Qin Yong understood perfectly, so he didn't press the matter further.

"From now on, they are all on the same side as the Heavenly Martial Clan. They are the greatest enemy that must be eliminated. The agreement with them is hereby automatically nullified!"

But Lin Xiufeng couldn't publicize it, but the Tianwu Group could help spread the word. Anyway, they were all on the same side, so why bother with the drawer agreement with Fantian?

Qin Yong suddenly came to his senses and realized that he shouldn't linger here, so he quickly suggested:

"Oh dear, oh dear, let's not talk about that now! Come on, let's go, I'll have someone help you settle in! I need to go tell Master this good news right away!"
