Capital City, Hua Family.

In the elegantly adorned, perpetually springlike courtyard of Hua Qianxue, she emerged with a sword by her side.

Granny Rong, who was responsible for taking care of Hua Qianxue's life and cultivation, immediately approached and said, "Miss, are you going out?"

Hua Qianxue replied, "I'm going out for a look around, no need to follow me."

"But Miss, I... I won't have a good explanation for the Patriarch..."

"Tell my father, I've gone to the Celestial Dry Academy."

Upon hearing the words 'Celestial Dry Academy,' Granny Rong's face immediately lit up with joy.

This is the residence of the Sixth Prince, Zhou Chengqian, of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Hua Qianxue has an arranged marriage with Zhou Chengqian, but from childhood until now, she has never visited the Celestial Dry Academy.

Recently, after returning from following Yang Tianji to learn martial arts, Zhou Chengqian personally came to the Hua Family several times hoping to see Hua Qianxue, but she refused to meet him.

This matter had the Hua Family quite worried.

Now, Hua Qianxue was willing to take a trip to the Celestial Dry Academy, which was naturally a very good thing. Granny Rong immediately said, "Miss has finally thought it through, that's good. If the Patriarch knows, he will surely be pleased."

Hua Qianxue walked out of the Hua Family's gates and onto the bustling, lively streets of Kyoto Jiu Long City.

A specific power emanated from her, so unique that even when she passed through the crowd, no one could see her figure.

A moment later.

Hua Qianxue arrived outside the gates of the Celestial Dry Academy, and her form appeared.

With a graceful figure, lightly veiled face, and an ethereal quality as if unaffected by earthly dust, combined with a frigid aura that seemed to keep others a thousand miles away—this was her constant demeanor!

The academy guards were instantly filled with self-abasement, bowing their heads, not daring to glance more than once.

Hua Qianxue simply walked into the Celestial Dry Academy.

The guards did not even step forward to stop her, nor did they have the courage to ask a single question.

Within the Celestial Dry Academy, inside an inner chamber.

Ninth Prince Zhou Chengyun, with a malicious expression, stood in front of a man with sword-shaped eyebrows and bright eyes, an upright and heroic bearing, and said, "Brother, it was my incompetence, I failed to kill Ye Chen. If you want to admonish or scold me, I have no complaints."

This man was the Sixth Prince, Zhou Chengqian. Talented and exceptional, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, everyone said he and Hua Qianxue were the two brightest jewels, their marriage engagement like a match made in heaven.

Zhou Chengqian stood with his hands behind his back, saying indifferently, "This time Ye Chen will represent Cangxing Martial Arts Academy in the Wind and Cloud Tournament in Kyoto. At that time, I have my own ways to make him lower his head and leave in disgrace."

"Brother, please appeal to Father on my behalf... not to confine me anymore... The Wind and Cloud Tournament is about to start, all the prodigies of the academies will be present. This is a good opportunity to recruit talents. If I continue to remain in seclusion, I will be unable to achieve anything..."

"Father's thoughts cannot be defied. Chengyun, go back. Before Father issues a decree, you must never step out again."

Just then.

A low voice came into the chamber.

"Your Highness, the Hu Family's Hua Qianxue is here."

Upon hearing this.

Zhou Chengqian's usually calm expression finally changed visibly, a hint of excitement appearing on his face, and without another word to Zhou Chengyun, he strode out of the chamber, heading towards the main courtyard of the Celestial Dry Academy.

In a white dress, Hua Qianxue stood in the courtyard.

"Qianxue, you've finally decided to come to my Celestial Dry Academy," Zhou Chengqian said, his eyes burning with intensity as he smiled and walked towards Hua Qianxue.

"Swish!"

Suddenly, a sharp sword light swept out from Hua Qianxue's scabbard.

As the sword light emerged, it separated her and Zhou Chengqian into two different worlds.

Zhou Chengqian halted his step, a faint change in his expression, and said, "Qianxue, what do you mean by this? Why are you so indifferent towards me?"

Hua Qianxue's voice, devoid of any worldly warmth, sounded.

"We are not acquainted."

Indeed.

Not at all acquainted!

Even with an engagement between them, the number of times they had met could be counted on one hand, with no communication whatsoever.

Zhou Chengqian furrowed his brows and said, "Qianxue, in the past, we were young and did not understand affection between men and women. Later, you were always following Yang Tianji to train the Spirit and Martial Unity, which gave us no chance to interact.

Now that you're back in the Capital City, we have plenty of time to spend together..."

"Make your move." Before Zhou Chengqian could finish, Hua Qianxue interrupted.

Zhou Chengqian frowned, saying, "Qianxue, is there some misunderstanding between us?"

"We're not acquainted, so how can there be misunderstanding." Hua Qianxue's voice remained ever icy.

Zhou Chengqian said, "You are my fiancée, how could I possibly attack you?"

"Swish!"

In the next moment, the sword in Hua Qianxue's hand suddenly swept up to the side.

Between heaven and earth, a fierce wind suddenly arose, a Sword Qi, sharp and piercing, slashed towards Zhou Chengqian.

This sword.

Was the very move she observed Ye Chen practicing and using against enemies on the road when she sent him off to Unparalleled County.

Wind and Cloud Sword, with a great wind rising!

Zhou Chengqian's expression changed dramatically, his figure flashing as he avoided Hua Qianxue's Sword Qi.

Immediately after.

Hua Qianxue's figure soared into the air.

Cold, icy gleams swept out from her body, and the elemental force of heaven and earth surged like a vast ocean, roaring and thundering!

Five golden Celestial Spirit Seals flew out from the center of her brow, merging entirely into the long sword in her hand!

Spirit and Martial Unity!

In an instant, the long sword in her hand burst forth with the light of thousands of stars.

"This is my Spirit and Martial Unity Sword, named Qian Chen."

"Qianxue... you..." Zhou Chengqian finally could not suppress the fury in his heart, his voice filled with boundless anger.

Hua Qianxue's Spirit and Martial Unity Sword Technique was named Qian Chen!

Qian from Hua Qianxue.

Chen from Ye Chen.

This was an outright slap to his face, Zhou Chengqian!

Zhou Chengqian now finally understood why Hua Qianxue would come to his Celestial Dry Academy today.

She came for Ye Chen!

Originally, Zhou Chengqian knew Hua Qianxue had some interactions with Ye Chen, so he wanted Ye Chen dead, because in Zhou Chengqian's view, Hua Qianxue was his woman, and Ye Chen was not worthy of interacting with her.

But now, he realized.

Ye Chen not only had interactions with Hua Qianxue,

The relationship between Ye Chen and Hua Qianxue was more complex than he had imagined!

Hua Qianxue named her Spirit and Martial Unity Sword Technique Qian Chen, which explained everything!

"Ah!"

Zhou Chengqian roared, his figure lunging forward, powerful energy surging from his body, with a dragon's cry echoing, encircling his body like a Divine Dragon.

"Qianxue, if you admit your mistake now, it's still not too late. I can choose not to hold it against you!" Zhou Chengqian's tone was filled with rage.

Hua Qianxue's response was a slash of her sword!

The myriad stars surrounding her long sword accompanied this strike, like a galaxy, rushing towards Zhou Chengqian.

One sword.

Cleaved a brilliant galaxy!

Zhou Chengqian's eyes widened, veins bulging in his neck, as the Divine Dragon Illusion encircling his arms surged to his arms and struck fiercely.

The space around Zhou Chengqian warped violently under his power.

When the star river named Qian Chen struck against Zhou Chengqian's fist.

Everything had already concluded.

The Divine Dragon Illusion on Zhou Chengqian's arms shattered violently, and his arms exploded into a mist of blood, his body flying backward, as blood spurted from his mouth and nose!
