Commandery Governor's Mansion, backyard.

Ye Chen washed himself, changed into clean clothes, and sat in a room.

Here, there was no need to be overly cautious.

Everyone knew he had come to the Commandery Governor's Mansion, so the mansion had to ensure his safety. If anything happened, they wouldn't be able to explain it to Cangxing Martial Arts Academy.

Don't think the Commandery Governor's Mansion constraints on the disputes between Cangxing Martial Arts Academy and the Celestial Sword Sect mean that they stand on equal footing; in reality, both sides are just giving the governor some face, as neither wants an all-out conflict.

If it were really calculated.

Not to mention the Celestial Sword Sect.

Cangxing Martial Arts Academy's status is higher than the Commandery Governor's Mansion!

After all, Cangxing Martial Arts Academy ranks third among the Great Zhou Dynasty's top ten martial academies.

On the table in front of Ye Chen were some fruits, snacks, and a bottle of pills.

Beneath the bottle containing the pills was a piece of paper.

"Tier Three Qi Nourishing Pill, mild in nature, can heal, restore strength, and nourish spiritual power."

Ye Chen ate some snacks, then poured all the pills into his mouth, swallowed them in one go, and sat on a meditation cushion in the room, channeling his energy to refine the pill's power, adjusting his condition.

One night passed.

Ye Chen had a good sleep, feeling refreshed and energized. He opened the door, and the gentle rays of the rising sun fell warmly and comfortably on him.

At this moment.

Qu Xiao's figure appeared in his line of sight.

"Recovered?" Qu Xiao asked, somewhat curious. She had heard Ye Chen's recovery abilities were extraordinary, and now it seemed true.

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Thanks to that bottle of Tier Three Qi Nourishing Pills from the Commandery Governor's Mansion."

Swallowing a whole bottle of Qi Nourishing Pills at once, refining them, the medicinal properties were naturally excellent.

Moreover, though Ye Chen seemed covered in blood yesterday, he only suffered a minor injury in his final bout with Wei Jian, nothing serious. Thus, even without mysterious warmth nurturing his body, he could recover quickly.

Qu Xiao nodded, raised her hand to dismiss the maid following her, and walked into the room where Ye Chen was staying.

Ye Chen followed her into the room.

Qu Xiao sat down generously and said, "Ye Chen, do you know what kind of relationship Xu Ming and I have?"

"Could it be that Xu Ming is also Miss Qu's teacher?"

Qu Xiao said, "Sort of, I learned a few things from him."

Ye Chen replied honestly, "The Bai Family of Unparalleled County wishes to take my head as a gift to the Celestial Sword Sect. I killed the Bai Family people; it is justified. Furthermore, because Xu Ming's newly accepted disciple, Bai Sen, wanted to harm me, Xu Ming deserved to die.

Even without Miss Hua standing up for me, if I had the strength, I would kill him to settle old scores.

If Miss Qu wants to stand up for Xu Ming, I am not afraid."

Qu Xiao: "..."

She just wanted to tell Ye Chen about her relationship with Xu Ming to avoid any future misunderstandings.

But Ye Chen had connected so many things!

"If I really wanted to stand up for Xu Ming, that day in the Pure Origin Secret Realm, even if Instructor Hu was there, you wouldn't have gotten away with it!" Qu Xiao bit her lip and said.

"Everyone has to take responsibility for their own actions. Wrong is wrong. I see this more clearly than you do, and many in the Star Martial System see it clearly too." Qu Xiao added moodily.

Ye Chen acknowledged, "Miss Qu's understanding of reason surely befits the noblewoman of the Commandery Governor's Mansion."

Qu Xiao said softly, "Do you have to call me Miss Qu? Technically, you should call me Senior Sister."

Ye Chen said, "Although the Spiritual Martial System doesn't differentiate between junior and senior classes, at my advancement rate, I'll soon be equivalent to a senior class disciple and quickly surpass the academy instructors. Calling Miss Qu Senior Sister now would mean she'd have to call me Junior Uncle later on; it wouldn't be appropriate."

Qu Xiao: "..."

She had an urge to hit someone!

She could tell Ye Chen wasn't bragging on purpose but was simply stating things as they came.

Yet these words...deserved a beating!

"Suit yourself!" Qu Xiao's face darkened. Talking to Ye Chen was mentally exhausting!

In the Sword Tomb.

Luo Qingyi laughed heartily.

This is Ye Chen.

Interacting with men is fine, but when it comes to women, he always deserves a beating.

Luo Qingyi has had the urge to hit Ye Chen countless times. She knew Hua Qianxue also wanted to beat Ye Chen multiple times, and now Qu Xiao felt the same.

Recently, the relationship between Tian Can and Luo Qingyi has slightly eased. Right now, Tian Can's legs were beside Luo Qingyi, who intentionally let Tian Can hear Ye Chen and Qu Xiao's conversation by manipulating the Sword Tomb's power.

Hair on the two legs fluttered in the wind.

"That silly kid Ye Chen… seems a bit clueless in this area. No, I need to teach him properly. Back in the day, besides being the fastest man in this world, I was also the most charming!"

"You dare!"

Luo Qingyi had been smiling a moment ago, suddenly filled with killing intent, looking at Tian Can's two legs!

......

Inside the room, Ye Chen was unaware that Master Legs in the Sword Tomb was being chased by Luo Qingyi. Seeing Qu Xiao seemingly holding a great grudge against him...he felt quite perplexed.

Just moments ago, everything was fine.

Women are indeed fickle.

Elder Qingyi is like this.

That tsundere girl Hua Qianxue is the same.

And the Commandery Governor's Mansion's Miss Qu isn't much different.

Comparatively speaking, his senior sister Liu Meng'Er is still the best!

"Miss Qu, there's something I'd like to ask your help with," Ye Chen said.

"Speak!" Qu Xiao huffed angrily.

"Where in Unparalleled County can I get a top-grade spiritual sword?"

"You want a top-grade spiritual sword?" Qu Xiao frowned, "With your current Sea of Qi Realm cultivation, you can't wield a top-grade spiritual sword. If you want a better sword, I can fetch a more suitable middle-grade spiritual sword from the Commandery Governor's treasury for you."

"No worries, just a top-grade spiritual sword. I can wield it. Does the Commandery Governor's treasury have one? If so, I thank Miss Qu very much."

"No!"

Qu Xiao said, "There aren't many top-grade magical artifacts in Unparalleled County, and even if there are, they've long been in the hands of the strong."

"Where can I get a top-grade spiritual sword?"

Qu Xiao thought for a moment and said, "I remember now, Celestial Treasure Pavilion has a top-grade spiritual sword, priced at fifteen thousand lower-grade spirit stones."

One lower-grade spirit stone is equivalent to roughly ten thousand taels of silver.

Meaning, a top-grade spiritual sword would cost one billion five hundred million taels of silver!

Ye Chen clicked his tongue, quite expensive indeed!

"Think it's expensive?" Qu Xiao snorted and said, "Normally, a top-grade spiritual sword is priced at thirty thousand lower-grade spirit stones. The reason the Celestial Treasure Pavilion's sword is so 'cheap' is because its sword spirit is unruly, and ordinary people can't wield it, so the pavilion decided to sell it at a discount."

Ye Chen took out a pile of weapons from his storage ring.

Besides the big bundle of swords from yesterday, there were many more.

On his way from Qingyun City to Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, he had killed a batch of people and collected a heap of weapons.

He also obtained several good swords when killing Gu Lan Jiao's group in the Luoyao Mountain Range.

Including a few days ago, when he killed several strong martial artists from the Celestial Sword Sect while bringing poison back to Cangxing Martial Arts Academy.

The best weapon was Gu Lan Jiao's middle-grade spiritual sword.

Besides that, there were five lower-grade spiritual swords.

The rest were all of the spiritual artifact level.

Now it was Qu Xiao's turn to click her tongue.

So many...

She almost suspected Ye Chen was running a weapons shop...

"Miss Qu, do these reach nine thousand lower-grade spirit stones?" Ye Chen asked.

Qu Xiao looked at Ye Chen, her expression becoming serious, "These weapons are worth about thirteen thousand lower-grade spirit stones. Ye Chen, hand over these weapons to the Commandery Governor's Mansion.

Then I'll take you to Celestial Soldier Pavilion. If you can tame the sword spirit of that top-grade spiritual sword, the Commandery Governor's Mansion will help you acquire it. If you can't, the mansion will find a way to get you a top-grade spiritual sword within three months!

Given the ongoing battles in Demon Suppression Valley, these weapons, sent to the army, could have a significant impact. I hope you can prioritize the bigger picture!"

Ye Chen said, "Alright!"

Qu Xiao suddenly felt a bit moved that Ye Chen trusted her so much, and said, "Ye Chen, thank you for your trust."

Ye Chen replied, "The monk can run, but the temple can't, so I'm not worried."

Qu Xiao: "..."

So tempted to hit him, now what!
