Chapter 27 Is the Young Master such a waste?
Shen Yuan looked at Fu Huaian and smiled gently.
"Young Master, how should I address you?"
"Fu Huaian, from a small Family in Yangzhou."
Shen Yuan nodded slightly, then asked Qin Fengwu and Xu Qingyao one by one, not expecting that the young lady was also the Saintess of Medicine God Valley.
Shen Yuan knew a little about Medicine God Valley in Nanzhou; it was powerful, had extensive connections, and was a highly reputable immortal force among the mountain immortals within Great Yan.
Finally, Shen Yuan turned his gaze to Shen Jinyu.
"Jin Yu, how have you been doing at Taiyi Sword Pool recently? I heard you were ambushed, and your escorts all died?"
Shen Jinyu glanced at Pei Qinghuan.
"At the Sword Pool, Pei Sword Master has treated me very well…
As for the assassination, those people's origins are unknown. Thanks to Pei Sword Master, otherwise, I would probably have met with an unfortunate end."
Shen Yuan fell into deep thought. When the news reached the Shen Family, Shen Yuan investigated but found no clues.
Jin Yu eloping was a minor matter; what concerned Shen Yuan most was who dared to assassinate Jin Yu?
With the Shen Family's prestige, even those mountain immortals would not dare to act rashly.
Moreover, what was the purpose of assassinating Jin Yu?
Although Jin Yu was a direct descendant of the Shen Family, killing her, aside from incurring the Shen Family's wrath and subsequent reckoning, was not an unbearable loss for the Shen Family.
The only clue was that the assassination occurred after Jin Yu might have been betrothed to the Prince of Nanjin.
That useless Young Lord from Nanzhou had hereditary succession. After the current Prince of Nanjin passed away, Jin Yu would naturally become the legitimate consort of the Prince of Nanjin.
But if Jin Yu became the consort, why risk so much to assassinate her?
Shen Yuan stopped his thoughts. There were too few clues at the moment, and he couldn't determine who committed this act or what their motive was.
He did not stay long in the pavilion. After a brief chat, he left, instructing his servants to prepare a sumptuous dinner.
With Shen Yuan gone, everyone relaxed a bit, chatting idly with a leisurely demeanor.
Xu Qingyao leaned on the railing, curiously looking at the beautiful koi in the lake.
She thought that the fish in front of her looked so good, they must be very delicious…
After an hour of chatting, the group went to enjoy a lavish dinner.
It was then that Ji Nan Yuan appeared. As the Emperor, she sat at the head of the table and ate with everyone.
Shen Jinyu didn't even dare to make eye contact with Ji Nan Yuan, fearing that Ji Nan Yuan would bring up what she had seen to tease her.
If the Empress really did that, Shen Jinyu, even if she wouldn't die of shame, would definitely elope with Fu Huaian…
Fortunately, Ji Nan Yuan acted as if it was her first time meeting Shen Jinyu, and their conversation was quite amiable.
Xu Qingyao was shocked throughout the entire dinner. First, she saw the legendary Empress, and second, she saw Pei Qinghuan's true appearance!
Only then did she realize that Sword Master was actually a woman, and so beautiful and captivating.
Pei Qinghuan didn't hide her identity from the little girl, mainly because she felt they had grown familiar.
With just a word from her, Xu Qingyao wouldn't blab it everywhere.
More importantly, her precious Disciple would soon achieve a Breakthrough!
This news instantly lifted a huge burden from Pei Qinghuan, making her feel that concealing or not concealing it was no longer that important.
After the dinner, night had fully fallen.
Fu Huaian and his group, except for Shen Jinyu, came to an elegant and luxurious courtyard to rest.
The courtyard was incredibly spacious, with more than ten rooms, more than enough for four people.
For the next two days, there were no disturbances.
After the assassination incident, the Shen Family only wanted Shen Jinyu to return; it was improper for a young maiden to stay outside all the time.
As for the marriage with Taiyi Sword Master, Shen Yuan initially treated it as Shen Jinyu's childish joke and didn't even bother to mention it.
And the fact that Pei Qinghuan and her group would come together was beyond Shen Yuan's expectation.
He felt that Taiyi Sword Pool sending a few Elders to escort Jin Yu back was already giving him a lot of Face.
He didn't expect the Sword Master and Sword Crown to come.
So, for these two days, he warmly entertained everyone, without the slightest neglect.
In the morning, in the courtyard where Fu Huaian was staying.
Pei Qinghuan and Fu Huaian discussed leaving the Shen Family today and heading to Medicine God Valley in Nanzhou to visit the Old Valley Master and see if there was a way to deal with the remnant soul inside Fu Huaian.
As for the address provided by the Flower Picking Thief, both Fu Huaian and Pei Qinghuan were quite wary.
Xu Yuqing had already stated that it was a demonic remnant soul, and Fu Huaian dared not rashly step into that area for a while.
He feared unforeseen accidents, after all, Xu Yuqing's Senior Brother was a cautionary tale.
That was a Disciple of a Dao Ancestor, who fell into demonic cultivation just like that…
Although Xu Yuqing subtly hinted that the remnant soul within Fu Huaian was different, Fu Huaian still dared not impulsively go to investigate.
Fu Huaian walked out of the courtyard, intending to find Shen Jinyu to discuss going to Nanzhou together.
To suppress the poison, he felt he still had to bring his Master's wife, and he didn't know if the Shen Family would be willing to let her leave…
A quarter of an hour later, Fu Huaian walked into the courtyard where Shen Jinyu resided.
As he walked, Fu Huaian not only saw Shen Jinyu in the courtyard, but Ji Nan Yuan was also sitting beside her at this time.
Besides them, standing in front of the two beautiful women was a young man dressed in white like snow, with a remarkably handsome appearance.
Fu Huaian was curious and quietly walked forward, approaching the three.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Ji Nan Yuan nodded, looking at Fu Huaian with confusion.
"Why are you here?"
Fu Huaian glanced at the young man who was curiously observing him from the side, then his gaze returned to Ji Nan Yuan.
"I have something to discuss with Jin Yu."
Shen Jinyu looked at Fu Huaian, thought for a moment, and her Face flushed.
She thought, 'Could it be that Huai'an is looking for me to suppress the poison…'
Ji Nan Yuan's gaze shifted to Shen Jinyu beside her, feeling strange, thinking these two were out of line.
"What do you need her for?"
Fu Huaian pondered for a moment, then directly deceived the Emperor!
"Jin Yu has always wanted to go to Nanzhou to see the scenery. Recently, my Master and I need to set off, so I'm here to take Jin Yu with me."
Shen Jinyu was stunned; she had no intention of going to see any scenery!
She understood in her heart that Huai'an intended to bring her along the way to suppress the poison…
Facing Ji Nan Yuan's questioning gaze, Shen Jinyu's expression remained unchanged. She nodded slightly, choosing to deceive the Emperor with Huai'an!
"Yes, Your Majesty, I want to go to Nanzhou…"
Ji Nan Yuan nodded silently. Now that Shen Jinyu's marriage was completely canceled, she couldn't be bothered with the two of them.
After all, they even dared to do that in the pond in broad daylight…
The man beside them listened quietly. He was Yuan Qian, the Young Lord of Kuiyang Sword Sect.
After watching for a while, he smiled and said to Fu Huaian:
"Seeing your distinguished bearing and impressive strength, may I ask which Sect you are from?"
Yuan Qian was in his early forties, at the Peak of the first rank, almost at Perfection, with a youthful appearance.
He had just roughly sensed, and he couldn't even discern the depth of Fu Huaian's cultivation!
He himself was already an impressive Genius; could it be that the handsome man in front of him was no worse than himself?
Yuan Qian was greatly surprised and couldn't help but ask.
Fu Huaian looked at him and smiled:
"Taiyi Sword Pool, Fu Huaian. And Your Excellency is?"
Yuan Qian's expression immediately changed. He was a Disciple of Taiyi Sword Pool?
His Sect and Taiyi Sword Pool had long-standing grievances. Two Elders of his Sect had died under the sword of the former Old Sword Master.
Yuan Qian's expression immediately became much colder.
"Yuan Qian, Young Lord of Kuiyang Sword Sect."
If the Empress were not present at this moment, Yuan Qian's attitude would have been even worse; he would have definitely tried to test Fu Huaian's depth.
Moreover, as the foremost immortal Sect on the mountains of Jiangzhou, Kuiyang Sword Sect, Yuan Qian had the confidence to severely suppress this Taiyi Sword Pool Disciple within Jiangzhou.
As soon as Fu Huaian heard he was from Kuiyang Sword Sect, his expression immediately changed. His gaze was icy as he scrutinized him up and down.
He didn't care about any Empress. He looked at Yuan Qian, probed his cultivation, and immediately, with a rude expression, directly cursed:
"How can the Young Lord from the damn Kuiyang Sword Sect be such a waste?"
A few days ago, an Elder of Taiyi Sword Pool was severely injured by Kuiyang Sword Sect and humiliated by having his sword broken. Fu Huaian remembered it clearly.
He didn't expect to encounter someone from Kuiyang Sword Sect in the Shen Family, and a Young Lord at that!
Fu Huaian felt that as the Sword Crown of Taiyi Sword Pool, it would be absolutely inexcusable not to teach him a lesson!
Ji Nan Yuan was stunned, looking at Fu Huaian speechlessly.
What was this for? Speaking so rudely.
Ji Nan Yuan was unaware of the feud between the two Sects.
After all, the enmity between the two Sects had not yet reached the point of open life-and-death struggle.
