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

Qiao Feng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and laughed, "You little rascal, you're really quite clever. It seems even Lord Wu Xiang can't handle you."

Su Yan waved his fist and said smugly, "Of course my dad can't control me. He can't beat me now."

She thought to herself that if her father hadn't used all the Vermilion Fruit he gave her to improve her health, she might have already become a master of the Innate Realm.

Qiao Feng felt somewhat helpless upon hearing this; it seemed that Lady Wu Xiang doted on this daughter.

At this moment, Wang Yuyan had arrived outside the Wu Xiangjun residence. Looking at the heavily guarded mansion, she hesitated to proceed.

She wondered if Su Qingfeng still remembered her, his cousin whom he had never met. Although they had corresponded in their childhood, it had been interrupted for many years, and he might have long forgotten her by now.

After standing in front of the mansion gate for a moment, Wang Yuyan stepped forward. Having already run away from home and come to this place, she was unwilling to give up.

The guard commander saw a beautiful woman approaching and went up to ask: "Miss, this is the residence of Lord Wu Xiang. May I ask who you are looking for?"

I have come to see Lord Wu Xiang. I am his cousin, Wang Yuyan. May I convey your message?

Please wait a moment, young lady, I will go and inform them.

Thank you.

At this moment, Su Qingfeng was still talking to Madam Wang. He wanted to leave but couldn't. He hadn't expected Madam Wang to be so talkative, telling him even about the trivial things that happened when he was a child, which made Su Qingfeng feel quite helpless.

Su Qingfeng knew perfectly well that Madam Wang wanted to help him regain his memories. But what memories could he possibly have to regain? The two of them weren't even the same person; it would be a miracle if he could remember anything from the past.

Madam Wang took a sip of tea and asked expectantly, "Su Qingfeng, have you remembered anything?"

"Uh, no, I have no recollection at all." Su Qingfeng shook her head helplessly.

He just wanted to leave as soon as possible. Faced with the beautiful Madam Wang before him, Su Qingfeng felt an urge to leave; he couldn't stay any longer, or he might get into trouble.

Su Qingfeng knew that Madam Wang's mother was the Queen Dowager of Western Xia, the true ruler of Western Xia, and probably a Grandmaster-level expert. If she found out what he had done to Madam Wang, he would likely be buried alive.

Madam Wang gently patted Su Qingfeng's head and comforted him, "Never mind, maybe he'll remember it slowly in the future."

Su Qingfeng smelled the fragrance on her body and almost couldn't resist wanting to hug this beautiful lady.

At this moment, the captain of the guards reported from outside the door:

"Your Majesty, there is a woman outside who claims to be your cousin and requests an audience."

Su Qingfeng asked in confusion, "My cousin? Where did I get a cousin... What's her name?"

"Your Majesty, she said her name is Wang Yuyan."

Upon hearing that her daughter had arrived, Madam Wang immediately stood up: "What? That girl Yuyan sneaked out just to see you! I must teach her a lesson this time."

Su Qingfeng quickly stopped Madam Wang, who was about to leave, saying, "Aunt Li, please wait until Yu Yan comes in. — Li De, please invite my cousin in."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Madam Wang was pulled to sit down by Su Qingfeng, still angry: "This girl, if she had told me beforehand that she was coming to your place, how could I have refused? She actually ran away from home secretly... It's infuriating."

"Aunt Li, since Yu Yan arrived safely and nothing happened on the way, please don't be angry."

"Oh, it's good that she's alright. When Yu Yan sees me here later, let's see if that girl gets scared."

"I think... Yu Yan will definitely be very surprised."

As they were talking, Wang Yuyan entered with the guards. As soon as she stepped inside, she saw a handsome young man and a woman with her back to her. The figures looked strangely familiar to Wang Yuyan.

Su Qingfeng was also surprised when he saw Wang Yuyan. Although he knew that Wang Yuyan and Madam Wang looked alike, he did not expect that the mother and daughter would look so alike.

Standing together, they looked like a pair of beauties, both strikingly beautiful. If Madam Wang were any younger, they might truly be mistaken for twins. Su Qingfeng gazed at the elegant and mature Madam Wang and the youthful and charming Wang Yuyan, momentarily lost in thought.

"Mother, what are you doing here?"

Upon seeing the woman turn around, Wang Yuyan asked in surprise.

Madam Wang looked at her with a stern face:

"Why can't I be here? If it weren't for looking for you, why would I have come out? You've gotten so bold these days, daring to run away from home secretly."

Wang Yuyan lowered her head and said softly:

"Mother, I also wanted to come and see my cousin... but I was afraid that if I told you, you wouldn't let me come."

Madam Wang walked to her daughter's side and took her hand:

"How do you know I won't allow it if you don't tell me? Do you think your cousin Su Qingfeng is like Murong Fu? I don't allow you to associate with Murong Fu because he's wicked. Why would I stop you from seeing your cousin Su Qingfeng?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuyan said with regret:

"Mother, I know I was wrong, please forgive me this time."

Seeing Wang Yuyan's beautiful appearance, Su Qingfeng said to Madam Wang:

"Aunt Li, now that Cousin Yuyan has arrived safely, let's not blame her. Let's all sit down and talk things over. Yuyan, why don't you sit down and have some tea too?"

Su Qingfeng never expected Wang Yuyan to come looking for him, let alone that she had become her cousin. The title "cousin" reminded him of Murong Fu—he wondered where he was hiding now, perhaps in Xixia like in the drama. Now that Wang Yuyan was his cousin, though they weren't actually related by blood, Su Qingfeng felt it inappropriate to deny her now, as she had been cared for by Madam Wang in her previous life.

"Thank you, cousin."

When Wang Yuyan saw Su Qingfeng speaking up for her, she said in a low voice, somewhat shyly.

Madam Wang, however, asked her solemnly:

"Yu Yan, weren't you traveling with Duan Yu this time? Where is Duan Yu?"

"Mother, I parted ways with Young Master Duan at the restaurant." Seeing her mother's serious expression, Wang Yuyan quickly explained.

Ever since she realized Duan Yu's feelings for her, she wanted to get rid of him. While Duan Yu was at the restaurant meeting that big man, she quietly left alone, unwilling to be bothered by him any longer.

Madam Wang breathed a sigh of relief and then admonished:

"It's good that you've parted ways. Don't associate with the Duan family again; there's not a single good person in the Duan family."

Wang Yuyan smiled and took her mother's arm.

"I know, Mother. I left without saying goodbye because I sensed that Duan Yu had feelings for me."

Su Qingfeng listened from the side, feeling somewhat helpless towards Madam Wang. He couldn't tell whether Madam Wang still harbored any feelings for Duan Yu's fake father. However, these things were ultimately irrelevant to him. Right now, Su Qingfeng only wanted to manage his own territory well, and when he was able to learn martial arts in the future, he would travel the martial arts world, meet the masters of the martial arts world, and encounter any experts who interested him.

Madam Wang and Wang Yuyan stayed temporarily at Su Qingfeng's residence. That evening, Su Qingfeng learned that Su Yan had brought Duan Yu and the others back, and he felt somewhat helpless.

However, Su Qingfeng was also quite interested in Duan Yu's Lingbo Weibu and Beiming Divine Skill, and he also planned to get his hands on the One-Finger Divine Skill and Six Meridian Divine Sword from Dali.

That night, Su Qingfeng didn't go to Jing Ni's place. Although Jing Ni had already reached the Grandmaster realm, Su Qingfeng figured she wouldn't refuse him this time, but he still decided to take care of important business first.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince of Dali is being held here."

Gu Changfeng led Su Qingfeng to the place in the military camp where Duan Yu was being held.

"Open the cell door."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Su Qingfeng looked at the pale-faced youth tied to the pillar and said:

"So you're Duan Yu, the prince of Dali? You've got quite the pretty boy look."

Looking at Duan Yu, Su Qingfeng felt a surge of disgust. Duan Yu and his adoptive father, Duan Zhengchun, were neither sentimental nor loyal; they were heartless and ungrateful. Su Qingfeng had learned about them in the later parts of *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils* and had even researched them online.

Duan Yu heard the general beside him address the young man as "Lord Wuxiang" and assumed that the man had come to let him go.

"Lord Wu Xiang, are you here to let me out? I have never offended your daughter."

Su Qingfeng said coldly:

"Didn't offend her? I heard you ordered your guards to arrest my daughter and even wanted to teach her a lesson?"

"That was just a joke, Lord Wu Xiang. I have absolutely no intention of harming the young princess."

"Men, search him."

"Lord Wu Xiang, what are you doing?"

Su Qingfeng looked at the flustered Duan Yu and said sarcastically:

"What are you doing? Duan Yu, you took what you shouldn't have taken. Have you forgotten? Since you've met my cousin Wang Yuyan, you should understand what I'm talking about. Those martial arts manuals didn't belong to you."

Duan Yu stared at Wu Xiangjun in shock, never expecting that Wang Yuyan was his cousin, and even more surprised that Wu Xiangjun knew so much about how he obtained the secret manual in Wuliang Mountain.

"How did you know I had obtained these martial arts manuals?"

Su Qingfeng replied coldly:

"What I want to know, I will naturally find out. Duan Yu, now that you have mastered the Lingbo Weibu and Beiming Divine Skill, cherish your remaining days. These manuals come from the Xiaoyao Sect."

"The old monks of your Tianlong Temple in Dali should know about the Xiaoyao Sect. I can tell you that the Xiaoyao Sect has at least four Grandmasters and one person at the Celestial Realm. By secretly learning the Xiaoyao Sect's martial arts, aren't you just courting death?"

After hearing this, Duan Yu's face showed fear:

"Impossible... I found these manuals in an abandoned cave. There was no one else there, and I had no idea they were martial arts from the Free and Unfettered Sect..."

Su Qingfeng looked at him and continued to press him with cold words.

"Heh, are you still hung up on that statue, Duan Yu? Let me tell you, that statue is Wang Yuyan's grandmother, a grandmaster-level expert. Those martial arts manuals weren't left for you at all. Aren't you just courting death?"

Gu Changfeng handed the martial arts manuals he had found on Duan Yu to Su Qingfeng: "Your Majesty, these were found on him."

Su Qingfeng took the items, flipped through them, and casually put them away, saying, "Lingbo Weibu and Beiming Divine Skill... Duan Yu, hand over the Six Meridians Divine Sword and the One Yang Finger, and I'll let you go. Otherwise, this place will be your death ground."

Su Qingfeng also caught a glimpse of the portrait in the Northern Darkness Divine Art, but lost interest after just one glance.

Although Li Qiushui looked extremely similar to Wang Yuyan and Li Qingluo, Su Qingfeng knew that she was dissolute and had a bad reputation, so he naturally had no interest in such a woman.

Upon hearing that Wu Xiangjun was asking for the Duan family's secret techniques, Duan Yu immediately shook his head and refused: "Impossible! The One-Finger Divine Skill and the Six-Meridian Divine Sword are secret techniques of the Dali Duan family that are not passed down to outsiders. We would never hand them over to outsiders."

Su Qingfeng looked at him coldly and ordered, "This is not up to you. Gu Changfeng, start the countdown now. If this prince of Dali refuses to write down the secret manual, kill one of his four companions every hour."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Lord Wu Xiang, how could you do this! This will ignite a war between our two nations!"

Su Qingfeng remained unmoved and continued to pressure Duan Yu: "I don't care. Duan Yu, the timer has already started. Also, you'd better not make things up—since I know your Duan family's martial arts, I naturally have ways to verify their authenticity."

"For example, Duan Yanqing, one of the Four Evils, is also a member of your Dali royal family, right? If you dare to write nonsense, I will send someone to the Taoist temple to arrest your mother first. I know very well where your mother is."

"No! You can't touch my mother!"

Thinking of Dao Baifeng, Su Qingfeng's tone grew even more somber: "Then write it immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless. I've heard your mother is exceptionally beautiful, Duan Yu. If you don't want her to perish, obediently write down the secret manual."

Su Qingfeng felt like a complete villain at this moment, but he didn't care. In this martial arts world where death was a frequent occurrence, he had long since stopped being a good guy. Besides, this place was rife with martial arts sects, where the distinction between good and evil was blurred. Anyone who threatened him would be eliminated.

"I'll write...I'll write!"

Before long, Duan Yu had finished memorizing the manuals for One Finger Divine Skill and Six Meridian Divine Sword.

Su Qingfeng picked up the papers and silently asked himself, "System, are these manuals real or fake?"

He was just testing the waters and didn't expect the system to actually respond.
