Who taught him to practice swordsmanship like this?

Treating Xie and Qi was not difficult for the people of Xuanmiao Temple.

Su Baichen removed the Xuan Yin sword energy that had been planted in him to eradicate it completely, while Lin Zhaodi used pure Yang true energy to assist in its gentle repair.

Once the two regained consciousness, Su Baichen dismissed them.

Watching the two leave without a word, Xue Dai sighed, "I never imagined that Qi Weiyuan, the once-renowned Dingfeng Saber, and Xie Yi, the Funan Swordsman, would both become guests of the Prime Minister's residence."

"What I never expected was that these two renowned martial arts masters would both be defeated here, defeated in front of a real person."

He's praising someone.

Su Baichen, however, felt nothing about it.

He's a cultivator, so isn't it normal for him to defeat a mortal martial artist?

He just felt a little uncomfortable. The fact that he had been secretly helping these chivalrous heroes who were causing trouble for the imperial court was actually also a way of helping himself.

The relocation of the imperial court to the south brought about tremendous changes.

Not only have various exorbitant taxes and levies nearly doubled, but market prices have also risen by almost half.

Many powerful families from the capital were also buying up land in Linxian Prefecture, causing countless people to lose their land and become insecure tenant farmers.

Under these circumstances, how Sujia Village can survive is the biggest problem for Su Baichen.

Everything he did was for Sujia Village, and for his unbroken worldly ties.

He couldn't think of a good way to solve it, or perhaps he didn't have a suitable solution given his current situation, so he could only take it one step at a time for now.

Even helping江湖豪客 (jianghu heroes) here is a way of putting oneself up as a target.

As for how things will ultimately develop...

In fact, he was mentally prepared to go to extremes even if he was punished by his sect.

Just as they were chatting, Su Baichen suddenly showed a look of joy.

"Junior brother, what's wrong?"

Lin Zhaodi asked curiously.

Su Baichen exclaimed happily, "My senior brother is back!"

He sensed the familiar aura of Feng Linzi.

Sure enough, a moment later a cultivator in plain robes gracefully arrived in front of the Xuanmiao Temple.

To outsiders like Xue Dai, his figure was like that of a celestial being.

At this moment, Su Baichen was relieved that everyone in front of the Xuanmiao Temple had left, otherwise Feng Linzi would have been worried sick about the injured people on the ground.

Even so, when Feng Linzi approached and saw the marks in front of him, he frowned deeply.

Su Baichen quickly stepped forward to greet him, "Senior Brother, you're finally back."

Feng Linzi asked, "What happened here? Were you fighting with someone?"

Su Baichen replied somewhat nervously, "They were just some ignorant ordinary people. I taught them a lesson and they left."

Feng Linzi paused slightly, then sighed and said, "You're even hiding this from me?"

These words were unbearable for Su Baichen. In this life, the person he respected most was not even his master, Xuan Yin Zhenren, but his senior brother, Feng Linzi.

He hesitated for a moment, then said frankly, "Yes, I defeated the second young master of the Zhou family here."

Feng Linzi asked, "Which Zhou family?"

"The Zhou family of Zhou Sheng."

Feng Linzi couldn't help but take a deep breath, his face showing surprise: "You little brat, you really know how to get into trouble."

Seeing that Feng Linzi seemed to be blaming him, Xue Dai immediately spoke up in a very righteous manner: "This is all my fault for causing trouble. Daoist Bai Chen only kindly protected me, which led to the dispute with the second young master of the Prime Minister's residence."

Feng Linzi asked, "And who are you?"

This time, Su Baichen didn't give Xue Dai a chance to speak and said directly, "He is a righteous man from Linxian. He can't stand the Zhou family using the name of the imperial court to bully the good and kind. I was moved by his righteous act, so I offered some help within my power."

Feng Linzi looked over unexpectedly.

Then, as if pondering, he said, "That's true. The Zhou family is no good. They've been causing trouble in the localities under the guise of imperial orders for quite some time now."

"Well, we can only take it one step at a time."

He probably remembered Su Baichen's worldly ties and understood that this was something Su Baichen had no choice but to concern himself with, even if it meant getting entangled in boundless karma...

At this moment, his gaze towards his junior brother became filled with more affection, as he felt that Su Baichen's timing in severing his worldly ties was extremely poor.

Su Baichen immediately changed the subject: "Senior brother, what exactly happened in the capital? Why does the emperor have the idea of ​​moving the capital?"

Feng Linzi said helplessly, "It is true that those demonic people are causing trouble in the capital region. Not only have they spread the plague, but they have also disrupted the northern defense line, allowing the Wei army to advance unimpeded and endanger the safety of the capital region."

"Although the crisis has temporarily passed, the emperor was clearly frightened and believed that the capital region was too close to the border and too dangerous. In addition, with the plague raging, he simply made preparations to move the capital."

"Although the relocation of the capital was still in the planning stage, the imperial carriage had already arrived in Linxian Prefecture City, where preparations were underway to build palaces on a large scale to house the imperial harem and various government offices."

Su Baichen said somewhat angrily, "No wonder the taxes and levies in Linxian Prefecture have suddenly increased so much, and the corvée labor is so heavy... If this continues, I'm afraid the people will suffer."

He was having some unresolved thoughts again.

Feng Linzi quickly said, "Don't do anything reckless. The emperor is blessed with the fortune of the entire nation, making him virtually invulnerable to all magic."

Su Baichen said somewhat resentfully, "Are we just going to let this tyrant do whatever he wants?"

Feng Linzi seemed to be deep in thought: "Junior Brother, if you want to do anything, you should go back and ask Master for permission first."

Su Baichen asked in surprise, "Senior brother, does Master intend to teach me how to deal with the emperor?"

Feng Linzi's face darkened: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"However, there are explicit rules in Changchun Palace that disciples of Changchun Palace are not allowed to interfere in worldly affairs."

"But if the sect leader, Master, endorses it, this rule is not impossible to change."

"Of course, when you go back, you can also report the situation here to your master and see how he will arrange things."

Su Baichen then understood, and felt that doing it this way was obviously more methodical than him charging in alone.

So he said, "Thank you for your advice, senior brother. I'll go back now."

Feng Linzi nodded: "Go ahead, I'll keep an eye on things here for you."

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Zhaodi and said, "Junior Sister Fang Baishu, I didn't expect you to be able to sever your worldly ties so quickly. You are truly remarkable."

Lin Zhaodi humbly replied, "Senior brother, you flatter me. I don't actually have any special skills."

Feng Linzi smiled with relief, and he was very happy to see that two of the three people he had guided had become successful.

But he quickly frowned again: "Why isn't Junior Brother Qingmozi here?"

Upon hearing this, Su Baichen felt a pang of sadness: "Senior Brother Qing Mozi has already passed away."

Feng Linzi was taken aback, then sighed, "I knew this day would come, but I didn't expect it to come so suddenly."

"Did he have any unfulfilled wishes before he left?"

Su Baichen replied, "Senior Brother departed with a smile."

Feng Linzi was taken aback. Looking at Su Baichen, he knew in his heart that something must have happened here.

He didn't ask any more questions, but after paying his respects to the outer disciple who was from the same period as him, he urged Su Baichen to set off quickly.
