Ling Yuan's heart was moved. He did not think that his Worryfree Hall would be chosen as a candidate, as he was completely unprepared for it.

Gong Yue looked at the two people who each had their own thoughts, and chuckled: "I wonder if this Ling Yuan Guardian of Worryfree Hall can represent the Worryfree Hall Master himself? Or do you want to represent yourself in the competition? "

Ling Yue's heart began to churn. Ever since he heard Chu Yunge's words from the Murong Dynasty, he had a bad feeling about it. Relying on his own martial arts and power, he could definitely rebel out of the Worryfree Hall and start anew. There was no longer any need to bow down and worship. And now, he had a chance to become the Alliance Head.

After pondering for a moment, Ling Yuan stood up and replied in a low voice: "This humble one can represent Worryfree Hall Master and participate in the selection."

"Alright, then we'll stop here for today. The competition will begin tomorrow at the Martial Exhibition Hall!" Seeing that he was about to put down the heavy burden on his shoulders, even Gong Yue felt much more relaxed when he spoke.

After everyone left their seats, Chu Yunge walked straight to Feng Yi's side, pointed at his nose and asked: "You slut Feng, are you really willing to watch this old lady make a fool of himself? Are you that confident that I can fight the Ling Yuan alone? "

Feng Yi smiled apologetically, "My wife, you misunderstood your husband. Think about it, how did Ling Yuan lose to you in Murong Dynasty? I left because I wanted to make it easier for you! "

"Tch!" It was luck, alright? Who knows what kind of tricks the Palace Mistress will pull? " Listening to Feng Yi's explanation, Chu Yunge became much less angry, but she still spoke unhappily.

"Don't worry, Ling Yuan won't win, I definitely won't let him be the Alliance Master." Feng Yi's eyes flashed.

In the evening, when Feng Yi and Feng Yi was enjoying the cool night by the lake, they discovered Ling Yuan.

"Hey, isn't this our partner? Why did you come here alone? " Chu Yunge asked with ill intentions.

Ling Yuan asked with an ugly expression: "Just what did you give Hei Yan today? He's been farting, and he's been talking nonstop. There's no way we can stay in the room any longer! "

Chu Yunge thought of the purple colored "sugar beans" he gave Hei Yan.

"Err — that has nothing to do with me. It's definitely because your Worryfree Hall doesn't have a good diet. He came here to see big fish and big meat and ate a lot of bad food." Chu Yunge vaguely found an excuse.

Ling Yuan let out a heavy snort. He naturally would not believe this crappy excuse, but at this moment, it was not good for him to tear off his face.

"Right now, we're still working together, right?"

"So what?" Ling Yuan looked at Chu Yunge's wicked smile and became cautious.

"That's much easier. Now that there are only the two of us left as candidates, as long as you give up tomorrow and quit, let me be the Martial Union Lord. If I get the map, wouldn't it be easy for us to split it equally?"

"Why would I believe that you would split the treasure with me if you had the map?"

"Because you won't be able to find it even if you get it. Right now, I only lack this piece, so you are lacking a lot. I am obviously taking care of you, okay?" Think about it. If you have this treasure, you will have the strength to contend against Worryfree Hall. Then, you can start anew and dominate a region! " Chu Yunge said patiently.

Ling Yuan thought about it. If Chu Yunge went back on his word, he had no other choice, she didn't have any resources at her disposal to fight against her. Furthermore, her own forces were all under the control of the Worryfree Hall and she had a huge grudge with Chu Yunge.

"No, I must participate in this competition. This is the capital for me to cooperate with you. Therefore, I will not withdraw!" After Ling Yuan finished, he turned around and left.

"Tch!" "You won't be able to beat me even if you don't quit!" Chu Yunge said as she rolled her eyes and looked at Ling Yuan's back.

After Ling Yuan left, he did not return to his own residence, but instead went to Gong Yue's residence, which was in the courtyard. Because he remembered what Chu Yunge said to him near the lake yesterday.

He knew that Chu Yunge definitely had other intentions, but right now was a good opportunity. Therefore, he decided to give it a try.

Two guards stood at the entrance of the courtyard that Gong Yue resided in. Seeing that someone had arrived, they raised their arms and stopped the Ling Yuan.

"I have to trouble the two of you to inform them that Ling Yuan of Worryfree Hall requests to see Asgard Mistress."

"Wait here, I'll go report."

The guard said and turned around to report.

Not long after, the guard returned, "The Mayor wants you to go in."

The Ling Yuan said he had to work hard as he walked into the courtyard.

There was a pavilion in the courtyard, and Gong Yue stood in the pavilion as he smiled and nodded to the Ling Yuan, "I wonder what the Ling Yuan's Reverend wishes to say?"

"I don't dare to say that. I just want to chat with the mayor."

"Oh?" Gong Yue slightly raised his brows. He knew that Ling Yuan was definitely not here to gossip, and couldn't help but ask: "What kind of gossip is it?"

"City Lord, have you heard of Nangong Xueyan?" After Ling Yuan finished speaking, he stared intently at Gong Yue, as though he did not want to miss any of the changes in Gong Yue's expression.

Gong Yue's face changed, "I have heard of the famous Asura Dual Blades fifteen years ago. Furthermore, he has some connections with me. I just wonder what sort of gossip you have to do with her? "

"In that case, City Lord, do you know that Nangong Xueyan has also come to your residence?"

Gong Yue's face changed greatly, and asked with a trembling voice: "She came? How could I not know? "

"I think the mayor has been careless due to too many things happening in the past few days."

"If you have nothing else, I would like to meet with this old friend of yours. Farewell!" When Gong Yue heard that Nangong Xueyan had come to his residence, he immediately clasped his hands at Ling Yuan and took his leave.

Ling Yuan was overjoyed. Seems like the information Chu Yunge gave him was correct.

"City lord, please wait. I have something to tell you. It won't be too late for you to leave after hearing it."

Gong Yue stopped and turned to look at Ling Yuan.

"Does City Lord know that Nangong Xueyan has brought along a young master?"

Gong Yue's expression instantly became unsettled, and he asked solemnly: "Ling Yuan, what exactly do you want to say? Once you finish speaking, you will be done! "

"As far as I know, this young master is Nangong Xueyan's biological flesh and blood. His surname is Gong!"

As though he was struck by lightning, Gong Yue's face instantly paled and she anxiously asked, "Is what you said really true?"

"Of course, I am not lying at all! I also know that they were attacked by warriors of unknown origins on the way here and they were almost viciously attacked. " The Ling Yuan slowly recounted the message Chu Yunge gave him.

"Then what's the situation with this mother and son?" Gong Yue was completely flustered.

"Mayor, don't worry. The mother and son are safe and sound, but I happen to know the origins of this group of warriors. I wonder if the mayor is interested in finding out?" Ling Yuan laughed with hidden meaning, and said to Gong Yue.

Hearing that, Gong Yue realised that the Ling Yuan was here to negotiate with him, "Then what do you want? From what I know, Worryfree Hall isn't some kind of pious person, I don't think you would be so kind to tell me all of this for no reason at all? "

"City lord is indeed a straightforward person, there is no need to hide anymore. "I want that map fragment. As long as the City Lord hands it to me, I will naturally be able to tell you who attacked Nangong Xueyan and her son."

"You want the map fragment?" Since that is the case, we only need to win tomorrow's Martial Union Master competition.

Ling Yuan laughed bitterly: "I think the city master does not know about Chu Yunge, right? This woman is crafty and has been at a disadvantage many times. To be honest, I do not have the confidence to win against her!"

"Oh?" He had only heard that Chu Yunge, the Imperial Protector Princess, was usually unbridled and willful, and often did some shocking things, but never would he have thought that even the Ling Yuan was wary of this woman.

Then, Gong Yue laughed with a deeper meaning in his words: "Rest assured, you just need to work hard and participate in the competition. Leave the rest to me."

"This way, we will have more City Lords! "As long as this one obtains the map, I will definitely inform the City Lord about who it was that attacked Nangong Xueyan and her son."

Ling Yuan cupped his fists and left the pavilion.

After Gong Yue saw that the Ling Yuan had left, he hastily called for the guards, "Go and check if there is anyone called Nangong Xueyan among the guests who came to participate in the Martial Arts Competition. Also, find out where she lives!"

After his subordinate left, Gong Yue stood in the pavilion and let out a long sigh.

A long, dusty past gradually surfaced before his eyes …

Fifteen years ago, when he had just become the Martial Arts Alliance Head, a cult, the Joy Sect, had appeared in the martial arts world. Many of the martial artists in the martial world had been harmed because of this evil cult's practice of harvesting young girls' vital yin.

Thus, he climbed up the mountain and gathered all the famous righteous sects and started to annihilate the Joy Sect.

But just as they were about to find the lair of the evil sect, Gong Yue was no match for the leader of the evil sect.

Gong Yue fled while wounded, and finally fainted in the forest.

After waking up, he realized that he was saved by someone. Furthermore, the person who saved him was a famous hero of the martial arts world — — Asura, Dual Bladed Nangong Xueyan.

Thus, while Gong Yue was recuperating, the two secretly formed feelings between them and broke through their defense line.

But by that time, Gong Yue would already be married, and would even have a four year old son. However, after Gong Yue confessed to Nangong Xueyan, he could not accept this fact and left in one night. No news of him since then.

The Asura blades in the martial arts world were like shooting stars in the night sky. After flashing by, they disappeared from people's line of sight. From then on, no one mentioned it anymore.

However, he had never expected to hear this name. Furthermore, if he guessed correctly, Nangong Xueyan's son was his own flesh and blood!

After a while, the subordinate told Gong Yue about Nangong Xueyan's residence.

With an excited mood, he arrived at a room in the VIP lounge and lightly knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Nangong Xueyan's voice sounded from the room.

"Xueyan, it's me." Gong Yue used a trembling voice to shout out the name that had been lingering in his heart for eighteen years.

The room was silent for a moment before the door suddenly opened.

Nangong Xueyan calmly looked at Gong Yue who was standing outside the door and softly said, "You've come."

"Here it comes. "Sorry, Xueyan, I came late." Two streams of tears fell down along Gong Yue's cheeks.

"Brother Yue, come in. The child is also here. It's time for you to recognize him." As Nangong Xueyan said that, she pulled Gong Yue's hand and entered the room.
