Chapter 23

Young Master Han Fei, the Reverse Scale Sword Protects His Master!

after awhile.

Ying Changqing picked up a silk handkerchief and wiped Jingni's face.

Then I held Jingni and rested for a while, touching her fingers and her back, feeling very satisfied.

Despite the ambiguous atmosphere in the room, Ying Changqing did not continue.

"Alright, time to get up, today is an important day!"

After saying that, Ying Changqing got up, dressed, and prepared to prepare for today's decisive battle.

He was confident.

Zhao Huangchao was a peak-level terrestrial immortal, and had even reached the half-step Celestial Realm.

Even a lion will go all out when hunting a rabbit, and Ying Changqing did not want to fail because of his arrogance.

As they walked out of the room with Yanfei and Jingni, they encountered Xiaomeng.

"Father, did you rest well?"

"Yes, very good."

Upon hearing this title, Ying Changqing accepted it without hesitation.

He smiled and reached out to rub Xiaomeng's head.

Xiaomeng squinted her eyes, like a lazy kitten, and rubbed her hair against his palm.

After a while, the four continued their journey to Miaotai Peak.

During the journey, Ying Changqing heard a voice behind him.

"I am Han Fei, the Ninth Prince of Han. I have met the Prince of Qin."

Ying Changqing stopped and turned around.

Behind him, a man dressed in a simple scholar's robe was bowing respectfully.

"Ninth Young Master".

Ying Changqing returned the greeting with a smile, while simultaneously checking Han Fei for any signs of rebellion.

Fu Nian, the chief disciple of Confucianism, walked up to Ying Changqing.

"I am Fu Nian, a Confucian scholar. I have met Your Majesty of Qin."

"Mr. Fu Nian."

Ying Changqing nodded in agreement, confirming that Han Fei did not possess the aura of the Reverse Scale Sword.

This shows that the Reverse Scale Sword has not yet come into Han Fei's hands, nor has it recognized him as its master.

"Could it be that Han Fei obtained the Reverse Scale Sword on his way back to Han after leaving Xiaoshengxianzhuang?"

This idea excited Ying Changqing.

The unclaimed Reverse Scale Sword, untainted by any other person's aura, is more valuable than the sword that has already claimed Han Fei as its master.

"Will the power of the Reverse Scale Sword grow stronger along with my cultivation level?"

Just as Ying Changqing was immersed in his excited thoughts, Han Fei looked at Yan Fei and Xiao Meng.

"I am Dongjun of the Yin-Yang School and Master Xiaomeng of the Taoist School."

"I am Han Fei, the Ninth Prince of Korea."

After exchanging pleasantries, Ying Changqing went straight to the question.

"What brings you here, Ninth Young Master?"

Han Fei said, "Yesterday at Mount Taiyi, I heard everyone discussing the prince's deeds."

"I wanted to see Your Highness in person. Meeting you today, I can confirm that you truly live up to your reputation."

"His demeanor is extraordinary, like that of an immortal!"

"Would Your Highness be willing to come with us to Miaotai Peak?"

Ying Changqing looked at Han Fei, who was praising him repeatedly, and nodded in agreement.

He knew that Han Fei's initiative to show goodwill must have a purpose.

But Ying Changqing also had his own plans.

From this perspective, the two share the same idea.

"Since Young Master Jiu is so inclined, let's go together. I've also been wanting to meet Young Master Jiu."

Therefore, after Ying Changqing agreed, the team of four was expanded to include two Confucian disciples, Han Fei and Fu Nian.

Han Fei asked, "Your Highness, you are a prince of the Great Qin Empire, how did you become the deputy head of the Yin-Yang School?"

"The Yin-Yang School is the most mysterious school among the Hundred Schools of Thought. Almost no one knows about their disciples, so I am very curious."

Ying Changqing looked at Han Fei's scholar's robe and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Prince Han Fei is the ninth prince of the State of Han. Isn't he also representing the Confucian school at the Covenant between Heaven and Man?"

Han Fei smiled somewhat awkwardly after hearing this: "From my perspective, I really shouldn't have asked this. You're right."

An ordinary person would definitely feel embarrassed by such a lukewarm response.

But Han Fei didn't care at all, and soon moved closer to Ying Changqing to chat about unimportant topics.

Han Fei was magnanimous and didn't take what had just happened to heart at all.

After talking with Han Fei, Ying Changqing confirmed that Han Fei was indeed exceptional and a person who could be remembered in history.

Han Fei's eloquence and erudition were evident in casual conversation.

Ying Changqing thought to himself, "Han Fei is a useful talent; I must have him serve me."

The two walked and talked, and soon they saw Miaotai Peak.

Miaotai Peak is not a real mountain peak, but two huge rocks, each nearly 100 meters high, standing opposite each other.

At the top of the boulder is a flat arena paved with bluestone.

At this moment, the area below Miaotai Peak was crowded with people, and there was a lot of noise and discussion everywhere.

Ying Changqing frowned.

Han Fei looked at the crowd with a helpless expression.

"I didn't expect there to be so many people crowding in front even though I arrived so early."

"We had no choice but to squeeze in."

"Excuse me, make way, we need to go in."

The person in front...

Han Fei immediately pushed through the crowd and led the way, forcibly squeezing in.

Upon hearing Han Fei's shout, some people in the crowd immediately turned their heads in dissatisfaction.

"Why are you pushing? It's so crowded here!"

But when these people turned around and saw Ying Changqing, their expressions immediately changed, and they immediately bowed respectfully.

"Yu Canghai, a Taoist disciple from Qingcheng Mountain, greets Your Highness."

"Yue Buqun of the Huashan Sect greets Your Highness and thanks Your Highness for imparting your teachings."

Ying Changqing nodded to everyone.

Before Ying Changqing could speak, Yue Buqun shouted, "Gentlemen, the Prince is here! Please make way!"

People in the martial arts world are very arrogant.

Upon hearing Ying Changqing's name, the Daoist disciples turned around without hesitation and bowed to him in greeting.

The crowd voluntarily made way for Ying Changqing, creating a one-meter-wide passage.

Han Fei and Fu Nian were immediately surprised when they saw this.

They concluded that Ying Changqing's sermon that night was exceptionally profound; otherwise, it would have been impossible for all the Taoist disciples to simultaneously show respect.

I regret that I am not a disciple of the Taoist sect, and I really want to know what Ying Changqing said that night.

Upon seeing this, Ying Changqing smiled and bowed to the crowd.

Then, we walked through the crowd and arrived at the foot of Miaotai Peak.

Ying Changqing was a distinguished guest with an invitation. Unlike ordinary spectators, Tianzong had already prepared a seat for him.

As soon as she sat down, Xiaomeng said, "Your Highness, I need to visit my senior brother, so I'll take my leave now. Please be careful!"

Because there were outsiders present, Xiaomeng, although she did not call Ying Changqing "father," still told him to be careful, worried that he might not be able to defeat Zhao Huangchao.

Ying Changqing replied, "Don't worry, Master Xiaomeng, I know what I'm doing. Go ahead."

Xiaomeng nodded in agreement, looking back as she walked, her face full of worry as she headed towards the Taoist Heavenly Sect camp.

After Xiaomeng left, Han Fei said, "I had to squeeze in just now, but Your Highness made everyone make way without saying a word. Truly admirable!"

Ying Changqing smiled faintly: "You flatter me too much, it's nothing."

Then, he leaned closer to Han Fei and whispered, "Ninth Young Master, shall we make a deal?"

"What kind of deal?"

Han Fei immediately pressed for details, showing great interest.

Ying Changqing wanted to use Han Fei to make him hand over the Heart's Reverse Scale Sword.

Otherwise, you have to find it yourself, which is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Because in Ying Changqing's memories of his previous life, he did not know when or where the Reverse Scale Sword first appeared.

We don't know which country it's hidden in, so there's no way to find it.

Since that's the case, it's better to let Han Fei hand over the Reverse Scale Sword voluntarily, so that I won't waste time and the cost will be minimal.

Ying Changqing said, "The Ninth Prince is a Confucian scholar, so he doesn't have many sources of information."

"Tell me, are you familiar with the Nightfall organization in South Korea, and its four ruthless generals?"
