Upon arriving at Spirit Dance Palace, Qin Chu got out of the beast carriage and approached a guard. “Excuse me, please inform them that Qin Chu is here to visit!”
“Princess has given instructions, Young Master Qin’s arrival does not require announcement. Young Master Qin, please come in!” The guard cupped his fists at Qin Chu. Qin Chu had been here twice before, so he recognized him, and furthermore, Qian Lingwu had specifically given instructions.
Seeing Qin Chu, Qian Lingwu was particularly happy and arranged for palace maids to prepare food and wine.
“Sister Lingwu, please inform Emperor Qian a bit later. Zihuan said that the Qian Dynasty can collect Heavenly Fragrance Grass from Heavenly Fragrance Valley once a year, but not more. One bundle per year. Collecting more will damage the root of the Heavenly Fragrance Grass.” Qin Chu said to Qian Lingwu. As for the Qingyun Sect, he had already written a letter and paid five gold ingots to have someone deliver it.
“Does the Qingyun Sect have this treatment? Don’t let any disharmony arise over resources, making the Qingyun Sect dissatisfied!” Qian Lingwu asked, looking at Qin Chu.
“It’s all the same. Please help me inform the Qingyun Sect later. I’ve already sent someone with a letter, but it would be more appropriate if Sister Lingwu sent someone to inform them again.” Qin Chu thought for a moment and said.
“Are you planning to leave directly?” Qian Lingwu asked, looking at Qin Chu.
Qin Chu nodded. “I can’t delay any longer. I must hurry to find clues. More than ten years have passed, and my family has probably been sad for over ten years. The issue with my Bloodline is also urgent and needs to be resolved.”
“Then I’ll pack up and go with you.” Qian Lingwu said.
Qin Chu looked at Qian Lingwu. “Thank you, Sister Lingwu. I sincerely hope you can come with me, but in reality, after this war in Southern Flame Continent, we don’t know what decisions the Ten Thousand Blade Sect and Wolf King Hall of Southern Barren Continent, and the Morning Star Pavilion of Southern Separation Continent, will make. If they attack and Sister Lingwu isn’t here, our region will be missing a King-level Cultivator.”
“Qin Chu, can’t you be a little dumber and not think about these things?” Looking at Qin Chu, a struggle appeared in Qian Lingwu’s eyes. She knew all that Qin Chu said. She wanted to be selfish, but Qin Chu had already spoken it aloud.
“I didn’t want to say it either, but I was afraid that if something happened, Sister Lingwu would have regrets.” Qin Chu shook his head.
Qian Lingwu fell silent. She didn’t know what to say. She really wanted to go out with Qin Chu, but the current situation didn’t really allow it. No one knew if the Ten Thousand Blade Sect, Wolf King Hall, and Morning Star Pavilion would retaliate, after all, this conflict had severely damaged the strength of the three sects, which was the result of their painstaking efforts over many long years of development.
“Qin Chu, I’m afraid that after you leave Southern Flame Continent, I’ll never see you again.” After a period of silence, Qian Lingwu looked at Qin Chu and said.
“How could that be! I’ll come back after I resolve everything. The first stop on my return will definitely be this Spirit Dance Palace.” Qin Chu said, looking at Qian Lingwu.
Qian Lingwu nodded. “Then I will wait for you always.”
The food and wine arrived, and Qin Chu and Qian Lingwu sat down opposite each other.
“Sister Lingwu, don’t be unhappy, it makes me feel depressed too.” Qin Chu picked up the wine pot and poured a cup for Qian Lingwu.
Qian Lingwu nodded. “Actually, I should be happy, because before you leave, you thought to come and see me.”
Qin Chu also didn’t know what to say, because their separation was imminent…
After drinking with Qian Lingwu, Qin Chu went to the side hall to rest. As for finding the map, he planned to discuss it later.
Qin Chu went to rest. Qian Lingwu, her face flushed from the wine, called a maid. “Arrange for someone to make a few sets of robes for Qin Chu. Pay attention, he doesn’t like to wear overly ornate robes. Good quality linen robes are fine, but the underwear must be of good quality.”
After giving the instructions, Qian Lingwu went to rest.
After resting for a night, Qin Chu practiced his swordplay and stretched his muscles and bones after getting up. Only then did he plan to walk around the Great Qian Imperial Capital to see where he could get a map.
While Transmigration through the main hall of Spirit Dance Palace, Qin Chu saw Qian Lingwu.
“Sister Lingwu, you’re up early!” Qin Chu greeted her.
“Can I still sleep until noon? Are you going out?” Qian Lingwu asked, looking at Qin Chu.
Qin Chu smiled and explained that he planned to go out and see if he could buy a more detailed map.
“For such things, you should ask me! The Great Qian Imperial Palace’s library should have one, after all, our Great Qian Imperial Dynasty has a very long Legacy.” Qian Lingwu said with a smile.
Hearing Qian Lingwu say this, Qin Chu didn’t refuse. He knew that asking Qian Lingwu could solve the problem, but he didn’t want to trouble others with everything.
Qian Lingwu took Qin Chu to find a map in the Imperial Palace library, and then the two returned to Spirit Dance Palace.
Not long after Qin Chu and Qian Lingwu returned to Spirit Dance Palace, Qian Lingtian arrived, bringing an old man with him.
“Brother Emperor, why have you come?” Qian Lingwu greeted him.
“How could I not come? That map is a unique copy. It’s not that you can’t give it away, but shouldn’t you make a copy to keep?” Qian Lingtian glanced at his Imperial Sister before sitting down.
“Here’s a broken map for you!” Dissatisfied, Qian Lingwu took out a scroll and threw it to Qian Lingtian.
Qian Lingtian took the map and handed it to the old man behind him. “Go to the side hall and make a copy. Be careful. After you’re done with the original, leave it for the Princess, and send the copy to the library.”
The old man bowed and withdrew. He had come along precisely to make a copy of the map.
“Qin Chu, you’re a scoundrel! Why don’t you come to me with your problems, always going to women? You have the potential to be a kept man!” Qian Lingtian’s eyes, sparkling with keenness, scrutinized Qin Chu.
As soon as Qian Lingtian spoke, Qin Chu was embarrassed, and Qian Lingwu’s face also flushed. Qian Lingtian’s move was an area attack, hitting both Qin Chu and Qian Lingwu. What did he mean? That Qin Chu was a kept man, and Qian Lingwu was keeping a kept man.
“Brother Emperor, what are you saying!” Qian Lingwu glared at Qian Lingtian.
“Haha! It’s just a joke. Qin Chu, let me tell you a few serious things. You have some resistance towards me, thinking that I am too calculating to be approached or befriended. But in reality, I have never schemed against those close to me, nor have I wronged anyone. If one doesn’t harbor malicious intentions, they will never fall into the traps I design; those who tried to assassinate me in the past, and Cao Tian and others who schemed against me, they had their own problems. As for this power struggle, the Qingyun Sect was drawn into it, which is the general trend. As one of the major powers in this region, the Qingyun Sect must be prepared to be involved in conflicts. Behind me, I have the Qian clan and the billions of citizens of the Qian Dynasty, so I must make some arrangements.” Qian Lingtian said, looking at Qin Chu.
“Emperor Qian is right. In this cruel world, if you don’t have some cunning, you really can’t survive.” Qin Chu nodded.
“Imperial Sister, just like before, I support whatever decision you make. If you want to go with him, then go with him!” Qian Lingtian said, looking at Qian Lingwu.
“Qin Chu said that this is an extraordinary time, and Imperial Sister should stay and help Brother Emperor stabilize the situation!” Qian Lingwu said.
“You’re quite honorable, Young Master. Then I’ll give you a piece of news as a gift. Sixteen years ago, members of the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan and the Black Tortoise Sacred Clan entered Southern Flame Continent!” Hearing Qian Lingwu’s words, Qian Lingtian looked at Qin Chu and dropped a remark that surprised Qin Chu.
