Jun Xuehan smiled at the two of them, then went back into the room to discuss some things with Qian Renxue.
Soon, She Long and Ci Xue brought the prepared delicacies into the room. After Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue finished their meal, they looked at the approaching dusk and, instead of cultivating, lay down on the bed to rest.
The next day, early morning.
As dawn broke, Jun Xuehan got out of bed, looked at Qian Renxue who was still fast asleep, covered her with the quilt, and then tiptoed out of the room, heading towards the Wind Snow Pavilion.
Back in the Wind Snow Pavilion, Jun Xuehan found Zi JI in the back hall and asked softly, "Zi JI, if you were to conceal your identity, what level of power would be needed to discover it?"
Hearing Jun Xuehan's words, Zi JI thought for a moment and replied, "Young Master, if I really wanted to hide, unless I had the strength of Di Tian or the level of Limit Douluo, it would be impossible for anyone to discover my identity."
Zi JI's voice was very crisp. As one of the kings of the Star Dou Great Forest, her strength was almost equivalent to a level 97, approaching that of a level 98 Super Douluo.
"That's perfect. Come with me later and protect someone for me. It might take a while, probably close to a year." Jun Xuehan snapped her fingers, looking Zi JI up and down. With Zi JI as her bodyguard, she could basically feel at ease.
"Protect someone? What about Qiu'er?" Zi JI asked with some surprise.
"Don't worry about Qiu'er. I'll handle her situation. There won't be any problems." Jun Xuehan nodded seriously, indicating that Zi JI didn't need to worry.
"In that case, young master, who is the person I need to protect?" Zi JI asked with some confusion.
"My wife is one of us, and her situation is somewhat special right now. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered you. After all, Wang Qiu'er's safety is equally important." Jun Xuehan nodded seriously.
"Wife?" Zi JI blinked, her eyes looking somewhat bewildered, then asked, "Um... when did you have... a young mistress, young master?"
After thinking about it, Zi JI felt that "young mistress" was more appropriate.
"Well, you're not wrong to call me that. It's been around for a while, you just didn't know it. After all, my looks are top-notch, practically the best on the mainland." Jun Xuehan waved his hand dismissively.
"In that case, it's not inappropriate for me to go and protect the young mistress. It's just that there are several young mistresses. If there are too many, I might not be able to protect them all," Zi JI asked softly.
"What do you mean several? I only have one wife." Three black lines appeared on Jun Xuehan's head. Zi JI's words made him seem like a womanizer.
Moreover, if he really had several, then the one who would need protection wouldn't be Qian Renxue, but Jun Xuehan. Let's not even talk about Qian Renxue's arrogant and domineering personality.
The Great Worship Elder Qian Daoliu and the Pope Bibi Dong, though one is not involved in affairs and the other is busy with other matters, are not so incapable of wielding a sword.
"Oh, young master, when should I go to protect the young mistress?" Zi JI asked.
"It's only just dawn, there's still a while to go," Jun Xuehan said, then sat cross-legged, adjusting her current state and trying to be in peak condition.
Upon hearing this, Zi JI agreed and waited quietly.
Because Jun Xuehan challenged Chen Xin, Ning Fengzhi specially designated an area within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for the two to compete.
Chen Xin also got up early and sat cross-legged in the designated area, quietly adjusting his state.
Ning Fengzhi, Ning Rongrong, and Gu Rong sat in front of the hall entrance, meditating with their eyes closed. The disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect stood on either side of the sect's entrance, their expressions serious.
Around nine o'clock in the morning, Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe entered the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect one after the other.
However, behind Xue Ye were only two ordinary guards, while behind Xue Qinghe were Dugu Bo and Yang Wushuang.
After Xue Ye entered, Ning Fengzhi immediately stood up to greet him, saying, "Your Majesty, what brings you to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as a guest today?"
Xue Ye smiled and said, "I heard that the proud Pavilion Master Jun of the Wind Snow Pavilion is going to challenge His Sword Douluo today, so I specially brought Qinghe to watch the excitement."
"However, Sect Master Ning, your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School has made quite a grand preparation. I wonder if you are confident of victory?" Xue Ye asked with a faint smile.
"It's just a competition, the outcome doesn't matter. As Titled Douluo, why would Uncle Sword bully a junior? He's just giving pointers." Ning Fengzhi smiled gently, his words perfectly measured.
As Titled Douluo, it was only natural for Chen Xin to win against a junior, and if he lost, he would guide the junior. He would not bully the younger generation. Whether he won or lost, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had a good reason to do so.
"Haha, Sect Master Ning, then I'll have to wait and see." Xue Ye looked at Ning Fengzhi in front of him and couldn't help but laugh.
Although Xue Ye also didn't think highly of Jun Xuehan, he had to admit that Ning Fengzhi's move really opened his eyes.
"Your Majesty, please take a seat." Ning Fengzhi gestured for Xue Ye to take a seat.
Xue Ye nodded slightly and walked straight to the side seat to sit down. After all, this was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Even though Xue Ye's status was higher than Ning Fengzhi's, he would not overstep his bounds and sit in the main seat.
"Teacher, it's been a long time. You're still the same as before," Xue Qinghe said softly, giving a slight bow.
"Qinghe, please take a seat as well. It's been a long time. You should visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect more often when you have time." Ning Fengzhi nodded gently to Xue Qinghe, but his gaze was subtly fixed on Dugu Bo and Yang Wushuang behind Xue Qinghe.
These two are high-ranking members of the Wind and Wind Snow Pavilion, yet they are now following behind Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. This is enough to show that the Wind Snow Pavilion is now doing everything in its power to support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and it is also enough to prove that his previous speculation was correct.
"Yes, teacher. Qinghe will definitely visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School often when he has time." Xue Qinghe smiled gently and walked straight to the seat to the right of Xue Ye, where he sat down.
Dugu Bo and Yang Wushuang stood on the left and right sides behind Xue Qinghe, protecting his safety.
Ning Fengxue returned to her seat at this moment and began to talk with Xue Ye.
