Martial Arts Universe: With a single command, 100,000 iron cavalry will sweep across the martial wor

He had hoped to use this good news to get Yan Fei to forgive him for what he had done before, but little did he know that before Yan Fei even started changing her clothes, he had seen her completely.

Yan Fei had just taken off her tattered dress and was about to change into a new one when she heard Su Qingfeng rushing in while shouting. She was completely stunned.

Upon seeing this, Su Qingfeng turned and fled—this time she had truly angered Yan Fei, and she needed to quickly leave to avoid the limelight.

After getting dressed, Yan Fei immediately used her lightness skill to rush out of the garden, determined not to let Su Qingfeng go.

Li Qiushui shook her head and sighed; she too had been startled by Su Qingfeng's sudden appearance. She even suspected that Su Qingfeng had done it on purpose, otherwise why would she have chosen this moment to barge in?

Li Qiushui flashed out and chased after her. She was really worried that Consort Yan would kill Su Qingfeng in her rage—when they fought in the lake before, she could sense that Consort Yan had left herself some room to maneuver, but this time it was hard to say.

Outside Suzhou, Su Qingfeng, disguised as a commoner under the cover of guards, hurriedly left the city. He dared not stay in the city any longer, intending to return only after Consort Yan's anger subsided.

Su Qingfeng hastily wrote a letter and handed it to Liu Teng, instructing him: "Give this letter to the old lady and ask her to act according to the arrangements in the letter. Also, have Wang Meng discuss with Huang Rong how to gradually erode the surrounding counties and advance secretly towards Yangzhou, ideally taking Yangzhou quietly."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After giving his instructions, Su Qingfeng mounted his horse and galloped away, followed by hundreds of guards who disappeared into the night.

That evening, at Wu Xiangjun's residence, Li Qiushui, Li Qingluo, Jingni, Yanfei, Su Yan, Huang Rong, Zhou Zhiruo, Abbess Miejue, Huang Yaoshi, Xiao Feng and others gathered together, only Wang Yuyan, who was in seclusion, was missing.

After serving tea, Azhu and Abi withdrew, knowing the atmosphere was awkward and not daring to linger.

Li Qingluo stared at Liu Teng and asked sharply, "Liu Teng, where exactly did that brat Su Qingfeng run off to?"

Liu Teng lowered his head with a wry smile, unsure how to respond.

Madam, I am not clear about the specifics either. His Majesty only instructed me to give you this letter, and also to have Wang Meng, the commander of the Xuanwu Legion, and Huang Rong begin to gradually control the counties surrounding Suzhou, and to peacefully acquire the neighboring Yangzhou City as much as possible.

"You may leave now."

Li Qingluo rubbed her temples and waved. Liu Teng responded and hurriedly left.

Holding the letter, Li Qingluo smiled bitterly at everyone in the room, "What should we do now? That bastard has already disappeared without a trace."

"Aunt Li, how about I lead the soldiers to bring my father back?" Su Yan's eyes lit up, and she stood up.

Li Qingluo gently patted her head and said seriously, "You should behave yourself. Your father is gone, are you going to cause trouble too? Jingni, keep an eye on this girl, don't let her run away. It's not safe outside right now, the young girl can't get into trouble."

"I'll keep a close eye on Ayan, Aunt Li." Jingni nodded and looked at Su Yan. She had made up her mind not to let this girl out of her sight.

Upon hearing that Su Qingfeng wanted Huang Rong to lead troops to subdue the surrounding counties, Huang Yaoshi frowned and asked, "Rong'er, what are your plans?"

Huang Rong stroked her chin and laughed, "Father, this time I'll help that Su Qingfeng out and subdue the surrounding counties. It would be a shame to miss such an interesting opportunity."

Huang Yaoshi looked at his daughter and said with a smile, "Since Lord Wu Xiang trusts you and you are willing to do it, then go ahead. If you encounter any difficulties, come to me anytime."

"Sister Huang, if you're going to lead troops, let Uncle Xiao Feng protect you. Anyway, with Mother around, I'm safe in Gusu City," Su Yan interjected.

Huang Rong thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Alright, then thank you very much, Little Princess. Brother Xiao, I'll be relying on you from now on."

Xiao Feng patted his chest and laughed, "Don't worry, Huang Rong, your safety is in my hands. Unless a Grandmaster comes in person, I will absolutely not let anything happen to you."

Yan Fei sat to one side, her face pale. She had searched almost the entire city of Suzhou, but still couldn't find any trace of Su Qingfeng. She knew that the man had already escaped the city, but she hadn't expected him to do so so quickly—it seemed he was quite adept at escaping.

Now she didn't know where to look for him, so she could only wait in Suzhou. She didn't believe that Su Qingfeng could hide forever and never come back.

Jing Ni quietly observed everyone in the room, without revealing any information about Su Qingfeng. She had already learned of Su Qingfeng's whereabouts through her secret guards—after all, she was in charge of the secret guards, and if Su Qingfeng had any plans, they would always be communicated to her through them.

In a small town a hundred miles away, Su Qingfeng checked into an inn and settled in. He was exhausted, having ridden his horse for over a hundred miles, and now his buttocks and legs felt sore, as if they were about to bleed.

"Have you heard? A top-tier martial arts manual called the Longevity Manual has appeared in the Sui Dynasty. It's said that mastering it to its highest level grants immortality! Everyone in the martial arts world is rushing to the Sui Dynasty now, but I don't know if this news is true or not..."

Su Qingfeng sat in the inn, drinking wine while listening to the discussions of the martial arts practitioners around him. He thought to himself that the appearance of the Longevity Manual was probably the beginning of the story of the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty.

He remembered that the Longevity Manual didn't seem to grant true immortality, and there wasn't anything too heaven-defying in The Legend of the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty. However, the Four Great Classical Novels were somewhat interesting.

Since we can't go back to Suzhou for the time being, why not go and see the Sui Dynasty? Maybe we can gain something from it.

Thinking of this, Su Qingfeng recalled Yan Fei's figure, and her heart stirred. Her figure was truly outstanding, especially…

However, she must be furious this time, and she will definitely not hold back next time they meet. Although she was angry last time by the lake, she still held back in her attack, but it's hard to say what will happen this time.

Su Qingfeng didn't want to confront them head-on. He would keep his teleportation ability hidden as long as possible, and he didn't plan to reveal it unless absolutely necessary.

Just then, a man with two small mustaches that resembled eyebrows sat down opposite him with a smile.

"Brother, may I sit here?"

"You're already seated, what are you asking now?"

Su Qingfeng was taken aback: Lu Xiaofeng? There's actually a legend of Lu Xiaofeng in this world? Why aren't Shangguan Feiyan, Xue Bing, and Sha Man on the list of beauties in the martial arts world? It seems that people appear in this world one after another, no wonder Bai Xiaosheng's list is incomplete.

"My surname is Lu. What is your surname, brother?" Lu Xiaofeng picked up his chopsticks without any politeness and started eating the dishes Su Qingfeng had ordered.

Su Qingfeng looked at this even more shameless guy with a bit of helplessness: "Your surname is Su. Lu Xiaoji, I recognize you."

Lu Xiaofeng raised an eyebrow, surprised that this seemingly unskilled man recognized him: "Oh? Brother Su is not a member of the martial arts world, how do you know me?"

Su Qingfeng took a sip of wine and laughed, "With four eyebrows, it's hard not to recognize Lu Xiaofeng. Why don't you shave off those two eyebrows-like tufts of beard? If you shave them off, probably no one will recognize you."

Lu Xiaofeng stroked his beard, a smug look on his face: "This beard is my life, how could I shave it off? Don't you think I look especially handsome with a beard?"

"I don't think so," Su Qingfeng touched his face, "Even with a beard, you're not as handsome as me."

Su Qingfeng now wanted to compete with Lu Xiaofeng to see who was more shameless and brazen, so that Lu Sandan wouldn't keep targeting him. He didn't want to associate with this meddlesome Lu Xiaoji; being his friend never ended well.

"You're really something."

"Likewise, compared to you, Lu Xiaoji, I'm still far behind."

"Where does Brother Su plan to go?"

"Where does Brother Lu plan to go this time?"

Lu Xiaofeng sized up Su Qingfeng, stroked his little mustache, and said:

"Going to the Great Sui Dynasty. I heard they've produced a martial arts manual that can grant immortality, and I'd like to take a look. Brother Su, would you like to come along?" The more he looked at Su Qingfeng, the more he felt that Su Qingfeng was no ordinary person—just who was this shameless fellow who was just like him?

Lu Xiaofeng had previously examined Su Qingfeng's pulse and knew that his meridians were blocked and he didn't know martial arts. But how could a young master who didn't know martial arts dare to roam the martial world? Wasn't he afraid of being killed?

Su Qingfeng shook her head and refused:

"I won't go. My meridians are blocked, so I can't learn martial arts. Going would be a waste of my time."

He had no desire to travel with this penniless Lu Xiaofeng; he was broke and loved to meddle in other people's business, and it was too dangerous to be with him.

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head with a hint of regret:

"What a pity. I thought I had met a kindred spirit and could travel to the Sui Dynasty together."

He didn't actually believe Su Qingfeng wouldn't go, but he sensed that Su Qingfeng genuinely didn't want to go with him. Did Su Qingfeng know something?

Su Qingfeng rolled her eyes at Lu Xiaofeng:

"I'm not going to be your confidante, Lu Xiaoji. I want to live a few more years."

"Brother Su, that's not right. Why do you act like you're going to die when you're with me?"

Just as Su Qingfeng was about to reply, a group of women in white entered the inn.

Among the group of women was a man, who looked somewhat like a cross-dresser. Su Qingfeng nudged Lu Xiaofeng and asked in a low voice:

"Lu Xiaoji, look at the one in the middle, is it a boy or a girl?"

Lu Xiaofeng's expression turned serious:

"It's a man, one hundred percent a man. Don't you recognize Hua Wuque, the young master of Yihua Palace?"

He felt helpless: the people from Yihua Palace had actually chased him all the way from elsewhere to the Song Dynasty because he had saved several men who deserved to be executed. It was truly endless.

"Wow, he's Hua Wuque? He looks like a pretty boy, not manly at all." Su Qingfeng glanced at Hua Wuque a few times, thinking that if he were in modern times, he would definitely be a heartthrob.

Lu Xiaofeng tried his best to keep a low profile, not wanting to be discovered by the group of women.

He whispered a reminder to Su Qingfeng:

"Brother Su, don't speak recklessly. These women are ruthless and merciless; never provoke them."

Seeing that Lu Xiaofeng seemed worried about being recognized by the people of Yihua Palace, Su Qingfeng's heart tightened. His biggest fear was that Lu Xiaofeng would provoke the women of Yihua Palace, so he asked in a low voice, "Lu Xiaoji, you're supposed to be a Grandmaster-level expert, why do you seem to be avoiding these women?"

Lu Xiaofeng looked troubled, leaned closer, and whispered, "It's not that I'm afraid of them, it's that I'm afraid of Yaoyue and Lianxing. Those two sisters are Grandmasters, do you think I'm not afraid?"

"You haven't really offended the Yihua Palace, have you?" Upon hearing this, Su Qingfeng immediately stood up nervously.

Lu Xiaofeng quickly pulled him down to sit, and awkwardly explained, "I just happened to save a few men that the Yihua Palace was going to execute. Who knew they would keep bothering me over such a small matter?"

Su Qingfeng gave him a push and said anxiously, "You should leave now. I don't want to get involved with you. Nothing good ever comes from being with you."

Su Qingfeng was utterly helpless. Lu Xiaofeng was indeed a troublemaker, and now she was likely to be dragged down with him. The place was only so big; the people from Yihua Palace would notice them sooner or later.

Just then, a voice called out from the side, "Young Master Su, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Song Zhi and Song Yuzhi were quite surprised to see Lord Wu Xiang here, but judging from his attire, they knew that he was intentionally concealing his identity, so Song Zhi simply called him "Young Master Su".

Song Zhi had originally intended to befriend Wu Xiangjun, and the Song family of Lingnan had long wanted to discuss some deals with him. However, because a Heaven-level martial arts manual suddenly appeared in the Sui Dynasty, Song Zhi and Song Yuzhi had no choice but to take people to check it out first, to find out if it could truly grant immortality after mastering it.

Song Yuzhi glanced at Su Qingfeng, not intending to pay him any attention. She had always looked down on this wicked Wu Xiangjun; just by looking at the ranking of beauties in the martial arts world, she knew he was a womanizer. She didn't want to have anything to do with him, lest she ruin her own reputation.

"You are...?" Su Qingfeng looked at Song Zhi with a puzzled expression. He did not recognize this middle-aged man, and the other party looked like a martial arts master.

Song Zhi smiled and cupped his hands in greeting: "I am Song Zhi of the Song family of Lingnan in the Great Sui Dynasty. This is my elder brother's daughter, Song Yuzhi. Young Master Su, we met once in Xingzilin, perhaps you don't remember."

"So you are Song Que's second brother, Senior Song. Please have a seat." Su Qingfeng was relieved to find that the Song family of the Great Sui Dynasty had not left since their parting at Xingzi Forest, and seemed unwilling to reveal their identities.
