Chuan Yun Upon hearing Yun Che's words, she was momentarily stunned, then a slight blush appeared on her face.
She realized that there was a hint of teasing in Yun Che's words, as if implying something.
Chuan Yun pushed Yun Che away, stood up, and her voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction: "Are you taking advantage of me?"
Yun Che stood up, with a hint of innocent smile on his face, and replied, "Miss Chuan Yun, you're overthinking. We are both women, I just don't want you to get hurt."
Chuan Yun gave Yun Che a glare, but her mood had already shifted from anger to complexity.
However, she couldn't deny that Yun Che's act of saving her had planted a hint of goodwill in her heart.
The surrounding audience watched the scene, discussing it in a flurry of voices. Some marveled at Yun Che's martial arts skills, while others mocked Chuan Yun for being defeated by a seemingly delicate woman.
Chuan Yun took a deep breath and said to Yun Che, "Since you've won, I'll concede. However, I am now interested in your martial arts skills."
Yun Che smiled faintly, "Miss Chuan Yun, if you are willing, we can spar again in the future. But for now, I have more important matters to attend to."
With that, Yun Che and Wu Ling left the arena and blended back into the crowd, continuing their mission to find Crown Prince Jin Xiao.
Chuan Yun stood on the platform, watching Yun Che and Wu Ling leave, her heart filled with complex emotions. Yun Che's martial arts and extraordinary temperament deeply moved her, while also sparking her curiosity and competitive spirit.
Turning around to face the audience below, Chuan Yun's eyes held a hint of determination: "Today's events, I, Chuan Yun, will remember in my heart. Yun Che is formidable in martial arts, and I acknowledge that I am not her equal. But I, Chuan Yun, will not give up. I will continue to strive to improve myself."
Just as Chuan Yun was about to step down, a taunting voice came from the crowd: "Miss Chuan Yun, the lady just now has already defeated you. Are you still going to continue the martial arts contest to find a husband?"
This sentence made Chuan Yun pause slightly. She turned to face the questioning crowd, a hint of contemplation flashing in her eyes.
She took a deep breath and responded, "The original intention of the martial arts competition for marriage was to find a partner who possesses both martial arts skills and moral character. Miss Yun Che's martial arts are indeed strong, but she is not a man, so naturally she will not become the object of my marriage proposal. Today's martial arts competition is just an exchange of martial arts skills. My journey of martial arts competition for marriage in Chuan Yun will continue until I find the true soulmate who shares a spiritual connection and matches in martial arts skills."
Chuan Yun's words were powerful and resolute, demonstrating her determination and rationality. This response elicited a wave of admiring conversations in the crowd, as people expressed their respect for her honesty and courage.
"And we probably won't meet again, she is indeed a woman." Chuan Yun told herself in her heart.
Wu Ling playfully said to Yun Che: "Yun Che, you just showed your foxy side again."
Yun Che replied with a playful smile, saying, "Oh, what can I do? After all, I am a fox. I can't change my nature."
Wu Ling couldn't help but chuckle as she followed Yun Che into the bustling crowd of Jing Kindom.
A mischievous glint shone in Yun Che's eyes, as if the previous scene was just an amusing interlude for her.
"Yun Che, what should we do next? Should we go directly to find Crown Prince Jin Xiao, or should we first gather some information?" Wu Ling asked, looking thoughtful.
Yun Che gazed at the bustling street and replied, "Let's blend into the crowd at the market first and listen to the public's opinions about Crown Prince Jin Xiao. Perhaps we can gather some useful information."
So they blended into the crowd, listening to the passersby's idle chatter.
People at the market were discussing various things, from trivialities of daily life to major events in the palace. Yun Che and Wu Ling were surrounded by all kinds of voices, but their minds were focused on finding information about Crown Prince Jin Xiao.
Finally, they heard an old man mention Crown Prince Jin Xiao, saying, "That Crown Prince Jin Xiao is exceptionally intelligent from a young age and has caught the eye of a master from the Kunlun Sect. I heard that he has returned to the palace recently, I wonder what important matter he's involved in this time."
Yun Che and Wu Ling exchanged a glance, a glint of light flashing in their eyes. This was exactly the information they needed.
"It looks like we need to find a way to enter the Jing Kingdom palace," Yun Che said to Wu Ling in a low voice.
Wu Ling nodded, her eyes filled with determination. "In any case, we will find Crown Prince Jin Xiao and lend a hand to Yun Che's plan."
Yun Che and Wu Ling quickened their pace, heading towards the direction of the palace.
They shuttled through the streets of Jing Kindom and unexpectedly encountered an old acquaintance - a dusty Taoist priest named Yin Chen.
Upon seeing Yun Che, Yin Chen walked up to him with surprise and said, "Yun Che, how did I run into you here? What happened to you?"
Yun Che smiled and replied, "Daoist Yin Chen, we are here to find Crown Prince Jin Xiao."
She continued, "As for... it's hard to put into words."
Yin Chen furrowed his brows and after a moment of contemplation, said, "Crown Prince Jin Xiao? I heard that he recently returned to the palace, it seems like something big is about to happen."
Yun Che and Wu Ling exchanged a glance, a glint of light flashing in their eyes. Yun Che asked, "Elder, do you know the specific location of the Crown Prince in the palace right now?"
Yin Chen shook her head, "Follow this road and soon you will see the walls of the palace. If you plan to enter the palace, be very careful. It's heavily guarded and not easy to get into. Jing Kindom has seen an increase in cultivators and Taoists recently, as there have been many strange occurrences."
Upon hearing Yin Chen's words, Yun Che had already formulated a plan. She nodded slightly to Wu Ling, indicating that she understood how to proceed.
" Daoist Yin Chen, thank you for your information. We will handle it carefully," said Yun Che, bowing to Yin Chen in gratitude.
Wu Ling also bowed to Yin Chen and said gratefully, "Daoist, thank you for your help."
Yin Chen smiled slightly and replied, "Since we are old friends, we naturally have to help each other. Just be careful, the Jing Kindom Palace has been unsettled recently."
