However, the day when the six major sects besieged Bright Peak was fast approaching.

At that time, Zhao Min, who was watching the show from afar, will be thoroughly shocked by him.

Originally, this grand scene was surrounded by Yuan soldiers.

Now, all that's left is a sedan chair, plus Xiao Yaoqing and his gang of martial arts masters.

Their strength hasn't diminished much, but their ostentatious display suddenly looks much more shabby.

Zhao Min stepped out of the sedan chair.

He didn't even glance at Xiao Yaoqing.

No one knows what this princess really thinks of Xiao Yaoqing.

Zhao Min changed into men's clothing, put her hands behind her back, and strode towards the gate of Green Willow Manor.

A string of people followed behind him.

Zhao Min hadn't even stepped onto the steps yet.

A man in a black robe walked out from the gate of Green Willow Manor, clasping his hands in a respectful gesture.

He shouted to Zhao Min from a distance:

"Princess, this Green Willow Manor was specially prepared for you. Do you like it?"

But Zhao Min acted as if she didn't see him at all.

She turned sideways and walked directly past the man in the black robe.

The two elders of Xuanming and the group of Bitter Monk behind her also followed suit.

The man in the black robe's eyes darkened, and his brows furrowed.

He turned his head and stared intently at Zhao Min's retreating figure, his gaze deep.

Nobody knew what he was thinking.

But then, a young voice rang out:

"This must be Cheng Kun, the Master of the Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand, right?"

Upon hearing this voice, Cheng Kun frowned even more deeply.

He turned his head and looked at the young man who had spoken.

Then they saw that the young man was carrying a sword.

He had a very peaceful smile on his face.

I couldn't feel any fluctuation of internal energy in his body.

But Cheng Kun keenly observed this.

Princess Zhao Min, who had just ignored him, paused for a moment upon hearing the young man's voice.

After just one meal, Zhao Min continued walking towards Green Willow Manor.

But Cheng Kun began to have doubts.

"hiss--"

This guy is naturally suspicious, and his mind works incredibly fast:

"Is there something strange about this young man?"

Cheng Kun immediately put on a kind smile, bowed to Xiao Yaoqing in a Buddhist gesture, and said:

"That's me. May I ask who you are, young man...?"

He held Buddhist prayer objects in his hands, but did not refer to himself as a poor monk.

After all, the Shaolin monk Yuanzhen was just a disguise for Cheng Kun.

At this moment, Yu Chifeng jumped out from the side and shouted:

As soon as Cheng Kun approached, Yu Chifeng quickly stepped forward and introduced in a low voice, "Master Cheng, this is Xiao Yaoqing, Master Xiao."

He almost blurted out those five words—"Iron Palm Gang Leader."

Fortunately, he was still clear-headed and managed to pull it back in time.

Cheng Kun struck up a conversation, a polite smile on his face: "Oh, Master Xiao, it's an honor to meet you."

But Xiao Yaoqing didn't respond to his polite words. Instead, he extended his right hand to Cheng Kun and said in a warm tone, "I, Xiao Yaoqing, have heard of Master Cheng's reputation many times before."

Cheng Kun paused for a moment, his eyes filled with confusion, staring at the outstretched hand for several seconds.

He thought Xiao Yaoqing was going to hand him something.

But his palm was empty, there was nothing there.

What does this action mean?

Yu Chifeng jumped out again, grinning like a gofer: "Master Cheng, this is a handshake greeting unique to Xiao Yaoqing's hometown. That's how they greet each other when they meet back home."

His explanation was quite considerate.

Xiao Yaoqing glanced at Yuchi Feng but remained silent.

In fact, Xiao Yaoqing recognized Cheng Kun the moment he appeared.

His first thought was to replicate Cheng Kun.

This wasn't just a random thought.

Cheng Kun had a resounding nickname in the martial arts world—the Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand.

He has so many good items that he can't even count them all.

Just by looking at his disciple Xie Xun's skills, one can guess how deep this old guy's skills are.

In Xiao Yaoqing's eyes, Chengkun was a treasure trove waiting for him to move.

After hearing Yuchi Feng's explanation, Cheng Kun still had doubts: "Are there really such strange rules in the world? Could there be a trap?"

Anyone would think twice if Xiao Yaoqing reached out to them without warning.

But Cheng Kun still reached out his hand.

He could see it clearly—Xiao Yaoqing was so young, yet there was absolutely no internal energy fluctuation in his body.

Even if this kid wanted to take advantage of the situation, with my powerful internal energy, how could I let him succeed?

Cheng Kun shook hands with Xiao Yaoqing somewhat awkwardly.

It's normal to feel awkward the first time.

You'll get used to it.

Xiao Yaoqing smiled and gently squeezed his hand before letting go.

Cheng Kun was taken aback: "Huh? You really didn't tamper with it?"

At this moment, a system notification sounded in Xiao Yaoqing's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully copied the top-tier Phantom Yin Finger technique!]

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yaoqing paused for a moment, a hint of barely suppressed joy flashing in his eyes.

This is no ordinary item.

Phantom Finger!

Cheng Kun's Phantom Yin Finger is a vicious martial art in the original novel, on par with the Xuanming Palm of the Xuanming Elders. Within the same universe, the Phantom Yin Finger and the Frost Palm can both withstand each other head-on.

Didn't Cheng Kun's Illusionary Yin Finger technique, used during the battle at Bright Peak, instantly defeat seven top Ming Cult masters? Although Yang Xiao used the Great Shift of the Universe to subdue six masters, he himself was also unable to move. However, Cheng Kun's Illusionary Yin Finger power was evenly distributed among the seven people through the Great Shift of the Universe. The fact that the finger power, divided into seven parts, could still severely injure them speaks volumes about the viciousness of this technique; just thinking about it sends chills down one's spine.

Xiao Yaoqing was a little surprised and grinned: "I didn't expect the drop rate on Cheng Kun to be so high."

He nodded to Cheng Kun: "Thank you, Master Cheng."

Cheng Kun was stunned.

What are you thanking me for?

Why are you thanking me?

But after saying this, Xiao Yaoqing had already stepped into Green Willow Manor. Yu Chifeng quickly followed; now this kid didn't seem like Zhao Min's follower anymore, but rather like Xiao Yaoqing's tail.

Xiao Yaoqing really didn't want him to keep following her. What if Cheng Kun slapped Yuchi Feng to death one day? Should she save him or not?

Cheng Kun was filled with questions, especially after Xiao Yaoqing said "thank you."

What did that mean? Zhao Min's attitude towards him also displeased him. However, he still needed Zhao Min's influence for the time being, so he could only suppress his anger and quickly entered the main hall of Green Willow Manor.

The main hall of Green Willow Villa wasn't as grand as the Prince of Ruyang's mansion, but it was clearly the home of a wealthy family. Hanging in the center was a painting of eight horses by Zhao Mengfu, exuding an imposing presence.

Zhao Min stood in front of the painting with her hands behind her back, completely absorbed in looking at it.

Hearing the noise, she turned around: "Master Cheng, where are the six major sects now?"

Cheng Kun didn't delay and immediately replied: "The six major sects have already gone to Bright Peak. They will meet at the foot of the mountain in fifteen days and then attack Bright Peak together to destroy the Ming Cult."

"it is good."

Zhao Min nodded decisively. "Master Cheng, you keep a close eye on the movements of the six major sects and report back immediately."

"Your subordinate obeys."

After saying this, Cheng Kun took two steps back, turned around, and left the main hall.

He had long since given up on staying at Green Willow Manor. He couldn't wait until the day the six major sects besieged Bright Peak, so he could set it on fire, blow Bright Peak to the sky, and annihilate the masters of the six major sects and the Ming Cult together.

As soon as Cheng Kun left Green Willow Manor, he didn't waste any time and dashed off to the west.

Inside the main hall of Green Willow Manor, Zhao Min frowned, glancing around with a hint of unease in her eyes, and asked, "Where is Xiao Yaoqing?"

She was looking for Xiao Yaoqing, and she didn't even care that Yu Chifeng had disappeared.

The two elders of Xuanming and the Bitter Monk exchanged a glance and shook their heads.

Zhao Min immediately shouted, "Someone come here!"

A servant rushed in, and Zhao Min ordered, "Go and fetch Master Xiao for me."

Before the servant could respond, Xiao Yaoqing's voice came first: "No need, I've arrived."

Then, Xiao Yaoqing walked in from outside, followed by Yuchi Feng, who was scurrying around like a puppy.

When Zhao Min saw Xiao Yaoqing, a flicker of emotion crossed her eyes, but she immediately bit her lip and said impatiently, "Where have you been dawdling for so long?"

Before Xiao Yaoqing could speak, she said directly, "Xiao Yaoqing, come with me for a walk around the streets."

"Um?"

Xiao Yaoqing was taken aback.

But thinking about it, she was a princess, and he was just a follower, so there was no reason for him to refuse and he nodded.

Zhao Min walked in front, Xiao Yaoqing followed behind, and Yu Chifeng also wanted to follow along.

Zhao Min turned around and glared at him: "I only allowed Xiao Yaoqing to accompany me."

"Well……"

Yu Chifeng was taken aback, then quickly clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Your subordinate understands."

After Zhao Min and Xiao Yaoqing left, the remaining Xuanming Elders, Bitter Monk, and Yuchi Feng exchanged glances, their faces full of question marks.

They couldn't understand why the princess would ask Xiao Yaoqing to go out when it was almost time to eat.

If Zhao Min went out alone, they would definitely be worried and would insist on going with her.

But with Xiao Yaoqing around, they didn't have much to worry about.

Xiao Yaoqing followed Zhao Min out of Green Willow Manor. A capable servant ran up to the door, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully, "Your Highness, we've found out. The Emei Sect is currently resting at the East City Restaurant."

Zhao Min nodded: "I understand, you may leave."

People from the Emei Sect?

Xiao Yaoqing raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

He remembered clearly that Zhao Min had started targeting the six major sects as soon as she arrived at Green Willow Manor.

Moreover, she deliberately used the name of the Ming Cult's Fiery Banner in order to deepen the enmity between the six major sects and the Ming Cult.

Zhao Min dismissed her attendants and led Xiao Yaoqing out of Green Willow Manor.

As soon as she stepped out the door, she pulled a folding fan from her waist and "whoosh."

He flung his hand away, holding it in front of his chest, while his other hand was behind his back.

This setup is exactly as described in the original work.

Xiao Yaoqing found her appearance rather amusing.

However, he still crossed his arms, with the sword he had never drawn tucked into his chest, and followed behind her at a leisurely pace.

But thoughts were racing through his mind:

"Why did this woman insist on calling me out alone instead of having the Xuanming Elders come with us?"

He has a good memory.

He remembered the original plot clearly—Zhao Min went to cause trouble for the Emei Sect, accompanied by the Xuanming Elders and the Bitter Monk.

Her martial arts skills were just average; she could handle ordinary members of the Emei sect, though.

But if he were to fight Zhou Zhiruo, the two would be evenly matched.

In the end, it was only with the help of the two elders of Xuanming that she managed to kill several Emei disciples, injure Zhou Zhiruo, and send someone back to report the news.

She must have other plans for calling me out alone now.

Zhao Min strolled leisurely down the street, looking just like she was out shopping.

The street gradually filled up with people. She turned around and glanced at Xiao Yaoqing, who had been following behind her, and said:
