I became a prince in a martial arts world.

Chapter 324 The Shock of the Sword Master and His Wife

Sword Lord Yu Qinghou!

As soon as Wang Yu finished speaking, Yun Ling and Qu Lingbo immediately abandoned the man in black and turned to run towards Wang Yu. Li Yunxiu, who had just left not far away, also stopped immediately.

If Dao Jun were here, then the most dangerous person right now would be Wang Yu, and it wouldn't make any difference whether he were called Leng Jiangzhu or not.

While Yun Ling and Qu Lingbo were terrified, Wang Yu and Li Yunxiu were not too panicked.

Firstly, they had already determined Yu Qinghou's attitude towards Xiao Fusheng, and secondly, they had not made a move against Xiao Ruoying, so theoretically Yu Qinghou had no reason to target them.

Moreover, when Yu Qinghou fought Wang Yu just now, he used the Jade-Breaking Blade Technique the whole time, and he did not use his full strength at all.

If Yu Qinghou wanted to kill Wang Yu, he shouldn't have done it in this place, in this way.

Li Yunxiu was the smartest. When he saw Yu Qinghou, he thought of what the man in black had said earlier, and a thought flashed through his mind, and he already had a guess.

After Wang Yu revealed his identity, Yu Qinghou did not continue to make a move.

Sheathing his sword, Yu Qinghou shook his head with a self-deprecating smile, but also with admiration. "Six Desires Heavenly Sound, combined with the Seven Emotions, I didn't expect the Prince of Zhenxi to know the techniques of the Xuan Su School and the Qian Yin School."

Wang Yu also sheathed his sword, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Greetings, Senior Yu."

The man in black also rushed to Yu Qinghou's side, gently removing his mask to reveal a beautiful woman who bore a resemblance to Xiao Ruoying. She was none other than Yu Qinghou's wife, Xiao Fumeng.

Li Yunxiu and her two companions stepped forward and greeted Madam Yu.

Xiao Fumeng put Xiao Ruoying down, reached out and released Xiao Ruoying's pressure points, then nodded to the group, "I apologize for my intrusion in visiting and testing the waters."

Xiao Ruoying sat up abruptly, surprised. "Aunt! Uncle! What brings you here?"

Xiao Fumeng patted Xiao Ruoying's arm and whispered, "We'll talk about this privately later."

At this point, Xiao Fumeng couldn't help but glance at Yu Qinghou, her eyes revealing a hint of teasing and a touch of embarrassment.

Yu Qinghou understood his wife's meaning. After all, their trip was to test Wang Yu, and they never intended to expose their identities. Now that their identities had been revealed, it was indeed somewhat embarrassing for them.

But Yu Qinghou was not embarrassed at all. He spoke the truth, "The Prince of Zhenxi is very skilled and knows a lot. I was caught off guard and it's good that I wasn't injured."

Wang Yu shook his head, "I can't hurt you."

He used the techniques he learned from the Xuan Su School and the Qian Yin School to influence Yu Qinghou with sound attacks. It did affect him for a moment, but it also made Yu Qinghou react instantly, subconsciously swinging out a Flower God Blade with all his might.

His strike shattered Wang Yu's sword energy, turning defense into offense, and slashed straight at Wang Yu, the blade severing several of Wang Yu's temples.

The attack severed his protective aura, sending chills down his spine and forcing him to retreat rapidly.

If he had only faced Tangus's imposing aura at the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion without actually making a move, this time he made up for it.

The Five Swords and Two Blades truly lived up to their reputation; it's no wonder that people in the martial arts world refer to them together.

However, this strike also made Wang Yu realize that Yu Qinghou had not yet reached the Grandmaster realm, but was still at the peak of the Grandmaster realm, similar to Liu Suifeng before, but now he was no match for Liu Suifeng.

Of course, beating an ordinary grandmaster is still a piece of cake, just like Fang Shaobai, who was at the peak of the Innate Realm, beat an ordinary Innate Realm master before.

Wang Yu called over the three women, and they were introduced to each other.

Yu Qinghou greeted Li Yunxiu and Qu Lingbo, and his gaze lingered on Yun Ling for a moment before he said nothing, only letting out a slightly regretful sigh.

The moon was high in the sky, not the time for conversation. Yu Qinghou politely declined Wang Yu's suggestion to have another guest room prepared and returned to Xiao Ruoying's room with his wife.

Back inside, Xiao Ruoying asked again, "Aunt! Uncle! What brings you here?"

Xiao Fumeng tapped Xiao Ruoying's forehead. "Didn't I just say that?"

Xiao Ruoying was taken aback and said, "Didn't you say we'd talk about it privately inside?"

Xiao Fumeng shook her head. "Yaocai Manor wants to form a marriage alliance with the Prince of Zhennan and will marry you to Wu Wangshan, the Prince of Zhennan's grandson."

Xiao Ruoying protested, "If Yaocai Manor wants to form a marriage alliance with the Prince of Zhennan, then go and marry a daughter of Yaocai Manor yourself. Why should I be the one to marry?"

Xiao Fumeng said, "There is no legitimate daughter of suitable age in this generation of Yaocai Manor. If she is born out of wedlock or from a collateral branch, her status is not as good as yours."

Xiao Ruoying was furious, never expecting that the excuse she had casually given to Lu Jiong that day would actually come true.

"I won't marry him!" Xiao Ruoying said resolutely.

Xiao Fumeng said, "If you don't marry, it won't be easy for you to get past your father."

Xiao Ruoying held Xiao Fumeng's hand and said, "Since the uprising, my father has become a different person. Aunt, please let Uncle take him away. The sooner the Changsheng Army fails, the sooner he will be free."

Yu Qinghou chuckled, and Xiao Fumeng also laughed, "Your father still dreams of becoming emperor. If he were emperor, you would be the eldest princess. Aren't you even a little tempted?"

Xiao Ruoying shook her head, "Auntie, please stop teasing me. With my father's abilities, how could he possibly unify the world? Even if my uncle gave him his full support, he still wouldn't have the ability."

Yu Qinghou laughed and said, "You seem to know your father quite well, even better than he knows himself."

Xiao Ruoying pursed her lips. "Did my father agree to let my aunt and uncle come and take me back?"

Xiao Fumeng ultimately concealed Xiao Fusheng's true feelings, only saying, "Your father asked us to come and see how you are doing. After all, the Prince of Zhenxi is now an official, and the Changsheng Army are bandits. You are all alone, following the Prince of Zhenxi without any official status, and he is worried about you."

Xiao Ruoying finally calmed down and realized that Xiao Fusheng still cared about her.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ruoying smiled again and said happily, "I'm doing very well here."

Xiao Fumeng didn't believe it. "Really?"

Xiao Ruoying affirmed, "Really."

Xiao Fumeng's eyes flickered. "You've fallen for Zhao Yu?"

Xiao Ruoying paused for a moment upon hearing this, but nodded emphatically, "Yes!"

Xiao Fumeng and Yu Qinghou exchanged a smile, not surprised at all, since they had guessed it from Lu Jiong's reply that day.

Yu Qinghou sighed with some emotion, "Lu Jiong is an honest boy."

Xiao Fumeng pouted, "They're being too honest. They didn't even mention such an important piece of news as the Prince of Zhenxi's attainment of Grandmaster Gongzhen."

Xiao Ruoying explained for Lu Jiong, "We swore an oath to the Prince of Zhenxi not to reveal what happened that day."

When several grandmasters gathered that day, Lu Jiong was almost scared to death. Moreover, they were enemies in terms of their positions. It was fortunate that Wang Yu let them leave. Of course, he had to keep his oath.

Xiao Fumeng nodded. She didn't know the details and didn't care about them. What she cared about was the relationship between Wang Yu and Xiao Ruoying.

Xiao Ruoying likes Wang Yu, but does Wang Yu like Xiao Ruoying?

"The women around the Prince of Zhenxi are all formidable. Li Yunxiu is renowned throughout the land as a female scholar, skilled in both literature and martial arts. Qu Lingbo is the daughter of Qu Zhanqing and the head of the Lingshui Hall of the Five Poisons Sect. She is heroic and valiant. Yunling is the daughter of the great hero Feiyun and is also known as the Fairy in the Clouds. She fought alongside the Prince of Zhenxi when they were in Hebei Province."

Xiao Fumeng teased, "Compared to them, you're just a greenhorn girl who hasn't even grown her first hair. Do you think the Prince of Zhenxi would even notice you?"

Despite Xiao Fumeng's earlier teasing about the exaggerated rumors surrounding the three women, he was actually both shocked and impressed. He himself did not possess such abilities when he was young, and it was only after meeting Yu Qinghou that his skills gradually deepened.

Rather than worrying that Wang Yu would look down on Xiao Ruoying, Xiao Fumeng was actually more concerned that Li Yunxiu and the other two girls would not want to play with Xiao Ruoying. If they wanted to target Xiao Ruoying, she would be no match for them.

Xiao Ruoying argued, "I can tell he definitely has feelings for me!"

Although she had to force herself to follow Wang Yu, he didn't refuse her. Moreover, he cared about her a lot in the Wuyu Mountains. After they arrived in the Wuyu Mountains, Yun Ling and Qu Lingbo's attitudes towards her improved a lot.

Xiao Fumeng's gossip-loving nature flared up. "Really? Tell me about it?"

So Xiao Ruoying started by talking about what happened after she joined Wang Yu's group, focusing on the trip to the Wuyu Mountains. Yun Ling and Qu Lingbo were very concerned about her, and Wang Yu even took her pulse because he thought she was poisoned.

Yu Qinghou, of course, paid no attention to Xiao Ruoying's youngest daughter's narrative. He was focused on something else entirely, which even startled him: "You've discovered the remains of the Cangshan Hero?"

The Great Hero of Cangshan, one of the "Mountain, Sea, Dao, Buddha, and Demon," once shook the world with his battle against Guihai Ke at Haitian Cliff.

Unexpectedly, he suffered severe internal injuries and could not achieve his goal. In order to deter Guihai Ke, he dared not reveal the news of his death and could only hide alone in the Wuyu Mountains, dying silently.

Of course, what happened next was still shocking. Yu Qinghou blinked and said, "He also copied a copy of the 'Suppressing Mountain Skill' for you." Xiao Ruoying nodded and said, "Not just me, but Yun Ling, Qu Lingbo, Sun Wenzhu, and Leng Jiangzhu each have a copy."

The "Suppressing Mountain Skill" is a grandmaster's inheritance and the martial art of the Cangshan Hero. If it were to be revealed, it would cause a stir in the martial arts world. It is a closely guarded secret wherever it is passed down.

Although this cultivation technique was discovered by everyone together, no one would say anything if Wang Yu kept it to himself.

There are far too many stories in the martial arts world where a martial arts manual can cause brothers to turn against each other. As a martial arts master, Wang Yu is no match for anyone else, so it's perfectly normal for him to keep the manual all to himself.

It's abnormal for Wang Yu to be so generous.

He didn't even ask them to swear never to pass on the technique, it seems he didn't care at all.

Xiao Fumeng sighed, "The Prince of Zhenxi is a man of great generosity and is no ordinary person. No wonder he has so many female confidantes."

Yu Qinghou shook his head, "What does his forthright nature have to do with having a confidante? That's just his natural flirtatious nature."

"Exactly, exactly." Xiao Fumeng couldn't help but chuckle, nodding repeatedly, then continued to ask Xiao Ruoying, "And then?"

Xiao Ruoying said, "Later, we continued to gather herbs within the formation. We collected several hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. Zhao Yu and Sun Wenzhu refined the Three Ganoderma Lucidum Nourishing Spirit Pill, which can help people break through to the Innate Realm."

Xiao Fumeng shook her head in disbelief, "Help someone break through to the Innate Realm? What a boastful tone!"

Xiao Ruoying was getting a little angry because Xiao Fumeng never believed her.

"It's true. Sun Wenzhu's martial arts cultivation is not as good as mine. He broke through to the Innate Realm after taking a Three-Ganoderma Nourishing Spirit Pill."

Xiao Ruoying argued, "When Li Yunxiu came to Huichun Valley a few days ago, he was also below the Innate Realm. He took the same Three-Ganoderma Nourishing Spirit Pill as — and broke through to the Innate Realm the next day."

Xiao Ruoying took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom. "Zhao Yu also gave me one. I was planning to take it tonight anyway, and since you're here, I'll show you my breakthrough to the Innate Realm!"
