Chapter 155 Wuzong Temple Arrives
Before they could finish eating, a sound rang outside the door, and they saw the villagers appear outside the doorway. The old man walks into the ancestral hall towards Qin Shuang and greets her, saying:
“Young Miss, yesterday we heard noises…”
Qin Shuang smiles: “Yesterday a masked martial arts man came, the three of us defeated him and he fled, we chased him all the way but ultimately we let him escape, but I don’t think he’ll come again.”
“Really?” The old man immediately looks excited.
“Really!” Qin Shuang nods.
“Thank you! Thank you, Young Miss!” The old man immediately kneels down, facing Qin Shuang he kowtows. Qin Shuang gets up to help him up, saying:
“Old Sir, your welcome, it’s no problem at all.”
“Thank you, thank you!” The old man expresses his thanks repeatedly, and then turns around and yells: “Not preparing food and drink?”
Whoosh…
The villagers immediately disperse to prepare, but everyones’s face is full of joy.
“Old Sir, we’ve eaten, and we are ready to leave…”
“Young Miss, please give us a chance to repay you!”
With that said, the old man kneels again, Qin Shuang’s face appears helpless, so she just nods.
After taking a bath and having a hot breakfast, they are ready to leave. The old man leads the whole village, old and young to send off the three people. But at this time, from the distance came the rapid sound of horseshoes approaching, the eyes of Qin Shuang slightly narrow, looking ahead.
They see six horses galloping ahead, five people wearing the same clothes with a small golden sword embroidered on their chests.
“Wuzong Temple!”
“Shu…”
Six horses stop at the village entrance and block the way of the carriage. Those five Wuzong temple people sweep their watchful eyes on the three of them, they see Qin Shuang wearing a Confucian robe, Qin Yunxia is a scholarly student, and Yuan Ye looks like a guard. A hint of disdain flashes in their eyes.
The battle between Martial Arts and Confucianism makes Wuzong Temple and Scholars look at each other unpleasantly. Sure enough, the martial arts man of Wuzong Temple leads the way, riding ahead he looks down at Qin Shuang and says:
“Who are you?”
And this time, the man who is not wearing the uniform of Wuzong Temple jumps down from his horse and goes to the old man and says:
“Temple Head, the warriors of Wuzong Temple have come.”
The old man and the villager’s faces immediately show a look of respect, bowing to the five men:
“The commoners pay their respects to Wuzong Temple!”
But the five martial artist of Wuzong Temple don’t pay attention to them, but with great interest they lock their eyes on Qin Shuang and her entourage, the leader of the warriors shouts even louder:
“Answer my words!”
This loud yell, scares Qin Yunxia back a step, Qin Shuang’s face turns gloomy. On the side Yuan Ye steps forward. Just want to scold them, but Qin Shuang reaches out and holds him back.
Yuan Ye, as a martial artist, in fact his heart is very fearful of Wuzong Temple. On this continent everyone clearly understands that Wuzong Temple is the most powerful force, so they have fear in their hearts, but now he has dedicated his life to Qin Shuang, so even if he’s afraid he cannot allow Qin Shuang to be humiliated, but he didn’t think that Qin Shuang would hold him back, stunned he turns around and looks at Qin Shuang.
Unlike Yuan Ye, in her former life she was a Martial God. So after becoming a Martial Emperor, she joined Wuzong Temple, although she never did much in Wuzong Temple, still living her own life, but she has more understanding of Wuzong Temple than Yuan Ye. The more you know about Wuzong Temple, the more fearful you will be of Wuzong Temple.
And Wuzong Temple isn’t reasonable in their conflicts, not to mention now Qin Shuang doesn’t know what the cultivation realms of the five people in front of them are. If there is truly conflict with them, and their repair is better than Yuan Ye, it wouldn’t be unusual if they killed them, and those villagers dare not say anything. They would let it rot in their stomachs. Therefore, Qin Shuang stops Yuan Ye, but she isn’t a masochist, she no longer hides her identity, at once simply saying:
“The Seventh Princess of Crescent Moon Kingdom, Qin Shuang.”
Words fall, from her arms she takes out her own small seal, showing it to the martial arts man. That man’s heart is shocked.
Wuzong Temple is very bullish, but they aren’t capable of willfully clashing against the nobles, and he only belongs to the Wuzong Temple Whitewater city branch in Crescent Moon Kingdom. Naturally he has a little apprehension for the nobles of Crescent Moon Kingdom.
As they say, the former official is inferior to the present, if the nobles of Crescent Moon Kingdom really give them some trouble, they won’t have any good fruit to eat. Unless they are fully confident of uprooting a noble family, then the top circles of Crescent Moon Kingdom won’t be able to say anything about it.
At present there is some suffocation in his heart. Now he has seen that small seal, it is the Princess seal of Crescent Moon Kingdom. And he knows that some of these nobles really like to wear Confucian robes. He dismounts and cups his fists in greeting toward Qin Shuang:
“I have seen Her Royal Highness, the Princess.”
“Can we go now?” Qin Shuang asks indifferently.
The martial arts man hesitates for a while. For a long time, Wuzong Temple and the local aristocracy have inevitable conflict, and they don’t have a good impression of Confucian people, and the present Qin Shuang is fully in line with these two aspects that Wuzong Temple people are disgusted by, so a trace of cunning flashes in the mans eyes.
“Princess please stay, I heard something awful happened here, so I would like to complete the investigation before letting the Princess depart.”
“What do you mean by that?” Yuan Ye steps forward, with a cold look.
“No meaning!” The martial arts man did not give good face to Yuan Ye and said indifferently:
“There’s something weird going on here, and the princess appears here, so it’s not unusual to be doubtful.”
“Insolent!” Yuan Ye takes another step forward.
The martial arts man doesn’t pay attention to Yuan Ye, but looks at Qin Shuang and says: “Princess, I heard the villager’s report, from the situation he described, its very much like the demon sorcerers. So please understand, you don’t want to be considered a suspicious person, do you?”
“Get the f*** outta here!”
Yuan Ye is extremely furious, Her Royal Highness the Princess is even suspected of being a demon sorcerer, which is completely unacceptable to him. So one hand slaps over to the man standing opposite him.
There is a hint of derision on the face of the martial arts man, and he welcomes the slap with a slap of his own.
“Bang…”
Two people’s palms slap against each other, a “bang” sound, and then both of their bodies take a step back. Both their eyes slightly narrow.
*Made a mistake in the last chapter, the three defeated the masked man and pursued him, not the other way around(the cover story they made up for the villagers), sorry for the confusion! The wording just was confusing for me, I went back and corrected it.
