Can't a girl be a traitor like Cao Cao?

The terrain in this area has been completely changed, and the entire long bluestone street is now undulating like frozen waves.

At the very center of the sword intent, a concentrated slashing force had formed.

A long, deep gash was cut through the very center of the road.

On the other side of the broken edge was a deep crater that had been completely blasted apart.

Like a comet with a long tail, it eventually collided with a planet in the vast depths of space.

At the point of impact, a person was lying on the ground.

Chi Junlin stepped forward to take a look, and it was just as she had expected.

His younger brother, Chi Junbao, had been knocked down and was unconscious. Several imperial physicians, their faces filled with anxiety, were frantically trying to treat him.

His imposing figure stood like a small mountain across the middle of the road.

Beside him stood Chizagu, who looked guilty and was gritting his teeth as he watched Chijunbao.

Chi Zha Gu was taken aback when he saw Chi Jun Lin suddenly appear and walk to Chi Jun Bao's side.

He then hurriedly bowed to Chi Junlin and said, "This humble general greets the Commander-in-Chief!"

Only then did the surrounding crowd realize that Chi Junlin had returned to the imperial city. Before they could even figure out what was going on, they hurriedly bowed to Chi Junlin.

Chi Junlin could see that Chi Zagu was also seriously injured. One of his arms had been slashed so deeply that the bone was visible, and his other shoulder was dislocated and drooping down.

He waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for formalities.

He then looked at Chi Junbao and asked, "How is my brother?"

Upon hearing this, Chizagu hurriedly reported, "Commander-in-Chief, His Highness fought a bloody battle with Wenren Tianxia on the long street to stop her... However, His Highness was no match for Wenren Tianxia and fainted after taking a sword from her."

"It is my incompetence that I failed to stop Your Highness. Please punish me, Commander-in-Chief!"

After listening to Chizhagu's words, Chi Junlin shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with you. I know Junbao. When he gets reckless, he doesn't care about his own family. He might not even listen to me."

Wenren Tianxia spared his life; in a way, I should thank her.

You may step aside and receive medical treatment for now; leave everything else to me.

Chizagu breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this.

He quickly bowed and replied, "Thank you, Commander!"

Then, Zheng Gaoda stepped forward and called out, "Brother Zagu!"

Chizagu nodded slightly.

So, with Zheng Gaoda's help, Chizagu went to the side to seek medical treatment.

Chi Jun then continued walking forward.

A few more steps, and after going around the deep pit left by Chi Junbao and Wenren Tianxia's fierce battle, you will arrive at the Xizhimen Gate where the Chixue Iron Cavalry had previously attacked and killed the old eunuch Jiang Wanqian.

At this moment, the Xizhimen gate of the imperial palace was wide open, and it had been cleaved in two by a sword.

Chi Junlin did not show much change in expression upon seeing this.

He then entered the palace directly through the gate, escorted by several guards.

Once inside the palace, the traces of chaos and strife diminished considerably.

Because once those who could stop Wenren Tianxia entered the palace gates, not a single one remained.

However, the palace staff inside the palace gates were clearly terrified, seemingly panicked by the brief loss of order.

As they headed toward the emperor's palace, several palace maids, in their panic, bumped into Chi Junlin.

He was immediately reprimanded by Chi Junlin's personal guards.

Chi Junlin did not blame them too much. He simply followed the path the palace maids had taken and found the brother and sister Jiang Chengyun and Jiang Chenghan hiding in a corner.

At this moment, Jiang Chengyun, dressed in dragon robes, was protecting her brother, who was pale and looked flustered.

When Chi Junlin arrived, the guards around him startled Jiang Chengyun, who thought he was there to assassinate the emperor. Instinctively, she shielded her brother behind her.

But when she saw that it was Chi Junlin who had come, her face immediately lit up with surprise and delight.

He blurted out instinctively, "General! You're back!"

Chi Junlin responded with a slight smile.

But he quickly turned serious and asked her, "Did you see anyone else while you were here?"

Jiang Chengyun pondered for a moment with a serious expression, then replied, "The palace was in chaos just now. I heard that an assassin came from outside the palace."

Then when my brother and I ran out, we saw a very beautiful woman in white, holding a sword.

I don't know if she was an assassin, but she didn't harm us after seeing us. She just asked about the commander-in-chief.

Chi Junlin nodded and then asked, "What did you say to her?"

Jiang Chengjun replied, "I pretended to be scared and didn't say anything to her. The General is on our side, so of course I wouldn't betray him."

As she spoke, a smug expression appeared on her face.

Chi Junlin smiled at her, patted her cute little head, and asked, "Where did that older sister go now?"

Jiang Chengjun then showed a cautious expression and pointed to a certain direction on the roof.

Chi Junlin looked up in the direction Jiang Chengyun was pointing and nodded to her.

Then, they found a good place to go up from the other side of the palace.

They ascended to the pinnacle of the incomparably prestigious Kowloon Imperial City.

High up in the main hall, on the roof ridge, sat a figure in pure white, leaning against a dragon.

He looks like he's resting with his eyes closed.

When the Red Emperor ascended the palace ridge and sat opposite her.

Wenren Tianxia slowly opened his eyes.

She smiled and said to Chi Junlin, "Long time no see."

Chi Junlin nodded in agreement.

"Well, long time no see."

After that, nothing more was said.

But the silence must eventually come to an end.

It was Chi Junlin who spoke first.

He turned to Wenren Tianxia and asked, "Do you already know my identity?"

Wenren Tianxia glanced at Chi Junlin, his eyes lowering slightly.

But she still smiled and said, "Before meeting you, I wasn't actually that sure..."

After Lan Gexing reminded me before, I only vaguely sensed that your identity, as she said, must indeed be closely related to Chi Junlin.

As he spoke, Wenren Tianxia looked at Chi Junlin with clear eyes.

And as she said, after Lan Gexing simply reminded Wenren Tianxia to pay attention to the possible connection between "Lin Jun" and "Chi Junlin",

Wenren Tianxia noticed those details that he had never noticed before.

When Ye Qiancao impersonated Chi Junlin, why was Lin Jun the first to realize that she wasn't Chi Junlin?

Why did Tong Yan earn Jiang Mao's respect? Why did Lou Xiangfei also fear her like a tiger?

Lin Jun claims to be from the North, but she rarely talks about her family.

Why does her swordsmanship bear such strong traces of spear techniques?

Why is it that when Wenren Tianxia saw the Chi Jun he had imagined in Gui Danqing's painting, he saw the appearance of "Lin Jun" instead?

In fact, Wenren Tianxia had long been aware of this, but he was simply unwilling to admit it.

At this moment, her gaze was fixed on Chi Junlin.

Chi Junlin also sighed softly.

Then, with a slightly helpless tone, he said to her, "How should I put it?"

Actually, I originally wanted to tell you in person. But the longer we spent together, the less I could bring myself to say it.

She looked at Wenren Tianxia with a complicated expression.

Their eyes met, and they clearly remembered the words Wenren Tianxia had spoken to her when they first met, praising "Chi Junlin".

There is only one person I admire in my life...

[The Crimson Emperor is truly the undisputed number one in the world!]

If I could fight her, I would have no regrets in this life!

She is my idol...

Wenren Tian had a barely perceptible blush on her cheeks. If Chi Junlin hadn't been extremely close to her and knew her so well, it would have been difficult for him to notice this change in emotion.

She stared intently into Chi Junlin's eyes and said with a slightly solemn expression, "Then I'll give you this chance to speak for yourself."

Chi Junlin nodded.

With a somewhat solemn expression, he said, "Let's get to know each other again. I am the one you've always wanted to meet, Chi Junlin."

Upon hearing Chi Junlin finally admit this, Wenren Tianxia's face visibly flushed.

She stared intently at Chi Junlin, as if she had a thousand words to say.

But in the end, I took a deep breath.

Then he shouted loudly for a while.

It seemed as if he was venting his emotions.

The sound echoed through the quiet palace.

It was somewhat flimsy, yet it carried the resentment of a young girl.

Upon seeing this, Chi Junlin felt a sense of relief.

What she feared most was that Wenren Tianxia would harbor resentment towards her because of her concealment, leading to a feud between them and a parting of ways.

After she finally finished venting her frustrations, she looked intently at Chi Junlin.

Then, reluctantly, he said, "Anyway, I still congratulate you on escaping from Lan Gexing and not dying at her hands."

Chi Junlin touched his nose, intending to say that he had shown mercy and hadn't killed Lan Gexing.

But after thinking about it, she changed her words, saying, "I heard that after I fell off the cliff, you dived into the water to look for me hundreds of times..."

"Shut up! Don't try to get close to me!"

Wenren Tianxia's tone was somewhat exasperated.

She drew her sword and pointed the blade at Chi Junlin.

Then, gritting his teeth, he said, "I've come to fight Chi Junlin at the top of the Imperial City!"

Chi Junlin narrowed his eyes and carefully observed Wenren Tianxia.

It wasn't about observing her expression or swordplay.

Instead, they were experiencing the martial arts realm that Wenren Tianxia had reached at this moment.

It must be said that Wenren Tianxia has indeed become stronger.

Compared to the level she had seen when she first arrived in Nandu, where even the demon Bian couldn't defeat her, she had already reached a new level after so much tempering.

The ever-accumulating sword techniques... a brand new sword style learned from Hidden Sword Manor...

And the growth that she and I have experienced through spiritual cultivation over such a long period of time...

Ultimately, this brought about a qualitative change in Wenren Tianxia.

This also allowed her to reach a level of swordsmanship that enabled her to fight against Lan Gexing.

The increased strength filled Wenren Tianxia with confidence.

That's why she appeared in the imperial city and came before him.

Yearning for the ultimate pursuit of martial arts.
