destiny eternal calamity

Looking at the pretty face that was exactly the same as Zhong Kuiying's, Li Wei felt a strong urge to keep her here.

But I can't think of any good reasons.

He previously thought that he was able to get close to Zhao Yuqing without being taken down by the behind-the-scenes protector because he didn't interfere with her much.

Now it seems more likely that the other party knew about his relationship with Kunlun.

They wouldn't dare to harm themselves.

It can only be said that the higher you stand and the more information you know, the clearer you can see the true face of this world.

Li Wei composed himself and showed a regretful expression.

"Commander Zhao, it's been a pleasure working with you these past few months. I never imagined we'd have to part ways so soon."

"Li Wei, you are the only peer I have ever met who is stronger than me."

Instead of offering him a few polite farewell words, Zhao Yuqing praised his martial arts talent.

"I suppose you have your own tasks to complete."

She said with a sigh.

He then walked alone to his dormitory behind the government office to pack his luggage.

Li Wei squatted down and patted Xiao Mei's head.

"Well, I want to follow Lord Zhao, but she doesn't want to take me with her."

Xiao Mei said, feeling wronged.

"You should just stay at the military post and do your duty. It's too dangerous outside."

"Or you can apply for a job at the Princess's residence."

Li Wei thought for a moment and then said.

This dog demon does have a special skill.

Given her past experience of tracking down the Changsheng Sect's stronghold, even without using her personal connections, the Princess's residence would likely take her in and provide her with good food and drink.

As for the Eastern City Military Command, Long Bilin should be able to release the "dogs" after she gives the word.

Xiao Mei wasn't stupid; of course she knew that seeking refuge with the princess's household was a brighter future than staying with the Five Cities Garrison.

Hearing this, it nodded and wagged its tail, following behind Li Wei.

Li Wei glanced in the direction where Zhao Yuqing's figure disappeared, and decided not to stay there to experience life any longer.

He originally came to the Wucheng Military Command as an inspector in order to get close to Zhao Yuqing.

Zhao Yuqing was well aware of this matter, so there was no need for her to hide it.

He immediately sat down at the desk in the yamen, wrote a letter of resignation, and handed it to Li Dianli.

He then took Xiaomei back to the princess's residence.

-----------------

"Shiyu, what do you think of Princess Yuzhen, Long Bilin?"

One of the four major pleasure quarters in the capital, Nongyue Pavilion, is located in a high building, deep within layers of silk curtains.

A woman with a cold and aloof expression was sitting in a grand chair, holding the newly issued rules for establishing an heir by the Imperial Clan Court of Dali.

With a furrowed brow, she asked the disciple standing before her.

The woman was stunningly beautiful, and exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay.

But if Li Wei were here, he wouldn't find the other person unapproachable; he might even be bold enough to flirt with them.

Because this woman's appearance is exactly the same as his cultivation partner, "Yaoyue".

The disciple in front of her was also a stunning beauty, with a golden phoenix hairpin in her black hair and a purple silk skirt.

What's most striking are those light-colored pupils, which, upon closer inspection, possess a lively quality with a hint of wildness.

"Master, I feel that the power behind her is not as great as that of Prince Jin, but it seems that Emperor Li wants to pass the throne to her."

"As for the task of breaking through realms, King Jin only recently advanced to the Divine Treasury level, so there is no way he can break through to the Dharma Aspect level within a year."

"The emperor's inclination to leave is already very obvious."

"Therefore, this disciple is very optimistic about His Highness Yuzhen winning the position of Crown Prince."

"You're right, but you don't know how powerful the forces behind the Prince of Jin really are."

"Now that the Crown Prince's plot has failed, those people will probably support Prince Jin with all their might." Hua Yuedie looked at the special disciple in front of her, Tu Shan Shiyu, and said slowly.

"So, which side should we, the Xuan Nu faction, choose?"

"Of course it's Prince Jin. Long Bilin's maternal royal family has a grudge against our Xuan Nu faction."

Hua Yuedie said with a hint of helplessness.

This disciple is good in every way, except that he is a bit too detached from worldly affairs and always thinking about trivial things like love.

If she really finds that so-called soulmate, who knows what kind of trouble she'll cause.

The Xuan Nu Sect is a ruthless sect, and if Tu Shan Shi Yu really wants to ruin her future, she wouldn't mind playing the villain.

Anyway, the Heartless Path martial arts of the Xuan Nu Sect are no worse than the Heartless Path.

Tu Shan Shiyu nodded slightly, digesting the information in Hua Yue Die's words.

However, Nongyuexuan's main business is still making money, and no matter which side they choose, they will not be the first to stick their neck out.

She still has enough free time to find her soulmate.

Actually, she didn't have much hope anymore.

After all, three years had passed since she was released from the seal, and during those three years, she repeatedly confirmed that a full six thousand years had passed since she met that person.

If that person hadn't had the Time-Binding Stone, he probably wouldn't even have left a bone fragment.

She simply wanted to give herself an explanation for that love that ended without a trace.

"Miss Feiyan, another customer has tipped you ten thousand taels of silver to invite you to come out!"

A maid's voice came from outside the bed curtains.

Upon hearing this, Tu Shan Shi Yu was clearly impatient, but she still bid farewell to Hua Yue Die and turned to leave.

As she walked, she took out a veil from her bosom and put it on.

That's right, she is Liu Feiyan, the most famous courtesan of Nongyue Pavilion in the capital who has risen to fame in the past two years.

Tu Shan Shi Yu is her real name; Liu Fei Yan is just a stage name.

Many of the courtesans in the brothels under the Xuan Nu sect are disciples of the sect.

Their true identities are not those of prostitutes, nor are they allowed to be bought or sold.

The reason he came to perform was twofold: firstly, to use his appearance, temperament, and musical talent to help the sect's industry develop.

Secondly, it is to experience the vicissitudes of life and witness the myriad aspects of human nature in order to establish one's own ruthless Daoist heart.

To put it bluntly, it's about seeing the ugly and lewd behavior of men in the world, so they can give up on love sooner.

Of course, some disciples also lost their resolve during their training and were abducted by men.

In such cases, the Xuan Nu Sect would abolish the martial arts cultivation of these female disciples and then expel them from the sect.

Tu Shan Shiyu took a deep breath, then stepped out from behind the layers of curtains, walked up the stairs, and finally arrived at the rooftop terrace pavilion of the high-rise building.

The bright moon hangs in the sky, and the melodious sound of a zither flows down from the pavilion.

Despite not being able to see her face clearly and her clothing being very conservative, the whistling and courtship sounds from the men downstairs continued incessantly.

It's really... noisy.

Tu Shan Shiyu stroked the strings of her zither with a calm expression, but in her heart she recalled the scene of her playing the zither in harmony with that young master Wei six thousand years ago.

The reason she hadn't completely given up was because she had stumbled upon a record:

There exists a divine being named Wei Li, whose martial arts are divine. He appears only once every thousand years throughout history, like a cycle of reincarnation, and is known to the world as the "Lord of the Cycle of Reincarnation."

Her young master Wei's name was Wei Li, which also fits the description of a martial arts master.

However, the name was too common, so she couldn't possibly search for it based on the name.

Wei Li happened to be proficient in music and had many unique playing techniques.

After Tu Shan Shi Yu emerged from the seal, she observed for a year and found no signs that these playing techniques were being widely used.

Therefore, her method of finding people through music should be reliable.

This led to her abstract action of searching for kindred spirits in the "Da Li Weekly" (a popular Chinese business newspaper).
