Chaos Sword Body Technique: The Sword God is invincible!-Chapter 26 - Holy Mansion!

“Well done.”

Well done?

Lin Yi then looked at Lu Qingcheng.

Lu Qingcheng said, “Zhou Yuan is like gum, you can’t shake him off.

He keeps proposing to my father, and I’ve been so annoyed with him that I’ve wanted to teach him a lesson for a long time.”

“Zhou Yuan’s father is Zhou Wen, the Prime Minister of Shi Country, the biggest proponent of the Peace Faction in the court.

He always adopts a appeasement policy toward Shi Country and has repeatedly framed Sister Ya in the court.”

“You did exactly what we wanted to do.

How can we possibly blame you?”

Seeing Lu Qingcheng smiling at him,

Lin Yi finally realized.

It looked like Zhou Yuan was going to be beaten sooner or later.

It’s just that today he made it happen earlier.

Wait, what does Seventh Princess call Qin Ya?

Sister Ya?

It seems the relationship between these two women is incredibly close.

Qin Ya then looked at Lin Yi as if suddenly realizing something, “I was wondering why you so decisively rejected my invitation initially, turns out you were already reserved by the Seventh Princess.”

Lu Qingcheng cheerfully said, “Sister Ya, Lin Yi was the talent that my sister noticed when she went to Qing City.

Everything should observe the order of first come, first served, right?”

“Alright, I won’t compete with you then, okay?”

Qin Ya sighed and glanced at Lin Yi with some melancholy, “It seems that young men nowadays still prefer the innocent type of girls…”

I actually quite like your mature and glamorous type too.

Lin Yi silently commented.

“Sister Ya, how did you meet Lin Yi?”

At that moment, Lu Qingcheng asked curiously.

Qin Ya recounted the incident that happened on the merchant ship.

“I’m someone who loves freedom and is unconstrained by norms; too many rules in the military, it’s not suitable for me.”

Lin Yi said lightly.

Lu Qingcheng nodded her head.

Military ranks are strict and the rules are numerous; it’s too oppressive, which is why many talented people are unwilling to join the military.

That was the reason.

Although Lin Yi’s talents were decent, he was not enough to make Stone Country Military grant him special privileges.

Lu Qingcheng’s delicate Jade Hand supporting her white chin, looked at Lin Yi and fell into deep thought, “You’re unwilling to join the military, and you can’t go to Martial Arts Academy.

The two most common pathways for talents in Shi Country, you are unwilling to pursue either.”

“You’re giving me quite a headache on where to arrange you.”

“It was just Song Que alone, and I could still use my connections to place you in the Martial Arts Academy, but then you went and injured Zhou Yuan as well…”

“What does Zhou Yuan have to do with the Martial Arts Academy?”

Lin Yi frowned.

Lu Qingcheng said, “The person in charge of enrollment at the Martial Arts Academy this year is named Zhou Qing, a clan elder from the Zhou Family.”

Lin Yi: “…”

“This Martial Arts Academy with its complex human relationships, it’s better not to go.”

Lin Yi realized that the Martial Arts Academy was merely a backyard for major families in Shi Country, with entangled powers and such a place, even if he were admitted, he would probably have to fight his way out of the Martial Arts Academy one day!

“Boy, you sure are demanding.”

Qin Ya shook her head.

But in Lu Qingcheng’s beautiful eyes, a bright light suddenly flashed, “I just thought of a good place.”

“Where?”

“Holy Mansion.”

Holy Mansion?

Lin Yi raised his eyebrows, “Why haven’t I heard of this faction?”

Lu Qingcheng said, “This faction was quite strong twenty years ago; I heard it has a significant background in Imperial City, second only to the Martial Arts Academy!”

“But because it advocated uprooting the strong to help the weak, and punishing evil to promote the good—a philosophy different from the Martial Arts Academy’s ‘Worldly Martial Arts’—it was gradually squeezed out by the Martial Arts Academy and other major families in Imperial City, and eventually declined.”

“Oh?”

Lin Yi raised his eyebrows, “From what I hear, the Holy Mansion seems like a better fit for me.”

“Please do me the favor of introducing me!”

That kind of place like the Martial Arts Academy, where power is used to bully people, was never to his liking!

Lu Qingcheng shook her head, “No introduction is needed, the Holy Mansion will hold a new student examination tomorrow in Imperial City!”

“As long as you pass the test, you are a student of the Holy Mansion!”

“Thank you for informing me, Princess.”

Grateful, Lin Yi bowed to the two women, then promptly turned and walked out of the private room.

Watching Lin Yi’s departing figure, Qin Ya furrowed her brows, “Qingcheng, I have also heard about this Holy Mansion.

It’s said to be doing well in other countries, but here in Shi Country, it’s already in decline.

The power of the Holy Mansion is probably not even one-tenth that of the Martial Arts Academy.”

“Are you sure you’re not setting him up by letting him join the Holy Mansion?”

However, Lu Qingcheng shook her head, “He is someone I value; why would I set him up?”

“A lean camel is bigger than a horse.

Even though the Holy Mansion has declined, it is still a powerful faction with a great origin in the Eastern Domain.

It’s only due to suppression from the Martial Arts Academy and the Shi Country factions that it has fallen so far.”

“If a genius like Lin Yi joined, it might just revive its fortunes and compete with the Martial Arts Academy.”

Qin Ya, however, expressed disbelief in such baseless confidence from Lu Qingcheng.

How could a power that has declined so much be easily revived?

Moreover, would the Martial Arts Academy and the Shi Country factions, which were always suppressing the Holy Mansion, agree to this?

Nevertheless, Lu Qingcheng did not explain further.

Relying solely on the Holy Mansion itself, it naturally cannot compete with the Martial Arts Academy in a short time.

But what if there is another powerful faction from Shi Country secretly supporting the Holy Mansion?

A gleam suddenly flashed through Lu Qingcheng’s beautiful eyes.

…

“Brother!”

As soon as Lin Yi exited the private room, he saw Lin Ning and Yuan Fang; even Bai Xiu, who had disappeared without a trace just a while ago, had also returned.

“Where did you just disappear to?”

Lin Yi glared fiercely at Bai Xiu, “You vanished at a critical moment, almost getting us killed!”

“I was only away for a little bit, how was I to know you’d get into a fuss with Zhou Yuan?”

“Weren’t we supposed to avoid trouble?”

Bai Xiu’s lips twitched.

He had found out that, in the short time he was away playing cards, Lin Yi had started a scuffle in the banquet hall, and had beaten Zhou Yuan to the point of losing teeth!

He was almost astounded!

“But you, kid, when did you get in touch with the Seventh Princess, and even got the Seventh Princess to stand up for you?”

Bai Xiu looked meaningfully at Lin Yi.

Qin Ya covering for Lin Yi was understandable.

But the Seventh Princess, for a stranger, would not suppress Zhou Yuan!

He suddenly realized; the guy in front of him was far from simple, very deep indeed!

“I’m not very familiar with the Seventh Princess.”

Lin Yi shook his head, “Including this time, we’ve only met twice.”

“Is that so?”

Bai Xiu looked at Lin Yi skeptically, “Not familiar, yet she takes such care of you?”

“What would it be like if you were close?”

Lin Yi frowned immediately, “Why are you acting like a gossipmonger, won’t you ever stop?”

“Even if I was interested in the Seventh Princess, with her status, why would she fancy me?”

“That makes sense.”

Bai Xiu scrutinized Lin Yi carefully, then nodded his head, “The Seventh Princess has no reason to fancy you; I outshine you in every aspect.

Why would the Seventh Princess choose a piece of cow dung over a sprig of herbs like me?”

“Get lost!”
