Chapter 669: Chapter 3 It’s Time to Let You Know Chapter 669: Chapter 3 It’s Time to Let You Know Who can tell me why they started fighting?
Qiu Changtian was very confused.
If it was because the fact that I was playing two roles was unfortunately revealed and they fought out of jealousy to compete for my affection, that would be understandable.
But Senior Sister An clearly despised me, Qiu Changtian, and Junior Sister Xu stepped forward to protect her husband.
How could this also lead to conflict?
Thinking about it carefully, it wasn’t just with Xu Yinglian; An Zhisu’s relationship with Shi Liuli wasn’t very good either.
They had met during the White Jade Capital’s competition and could be said to have taken an instant dislike to each other.
The relationship between Xu Yinglian and Shi Liuli was actually not bad…
although it was initially not great, it improved when Shi Liuli evolved into her second form, which changed Junior Sister Xu’s opinion of her.
Thinking about it like that, it was clear that their disharmony was their own issue.
Junior Sister Xu was cold and proud; Senior Sister An was paranoid and stubborn.
It was very normal for the two of them to dislike each other…
It was not my fault!
With this realization, Qiu Changtian’s sense of guilt disappeared and he was no longer worried about them getting seriously hurt in the fight.

After all, this was Shushan territory.
Junior Sister Xu would certainly hold back a lot, and Senior Sister An wouldn’t really hit a guest from Kunlun too hard; after all, Qingluo Peak’s position in Shushan was still somewhat awkward…
Holy crap!
Xu Yinglian unleashed the Crimson Feather Nine Phoenix Fire; the golden thread slashed towards An Zhisu’s waist like a massive sword.
Qiu Changtian knew all too well the power of the Crimson Feather Nine Phoenix Fire.
The nine layers of compressed True Yuan appeared small but were extremely potent.
If Senior Sister An tried to use her Flying Sword to block, she would definitely be sliced in two along with her sword-there was no other possibility.
Fortunately, An Zhisu had an Innate Sword Heart and immediately perceived the immense danger.
She simply merged with her sword in the nick of time to dodge the golden thread’s cut and then quickly counterattacked with her twin swords-one red and one white- their Sword Light intertwined like silk bands, carrying fierce murderous intent!
Xu Yinglian’s figure was pierced by the twin swords, then collapsed into flames, reappearing behind An Zhisu in the next instant-it was the Phoenix Secret Technique’s Fire Escape Nine Methods.
She reached for An Zhisu’s shoulders, and from her eyes, mouth, and nose, golden flames were already emerging.
It was one of the Secret Techniques from the Nine Bushels Thunder Fire, with utterly terrifying power.
Her figure then suddenly exploded!
Qiu Changtian hastily scanned with his Divine Sense and found that An Zhisu was unharmed, and he heaved a sigh of relief.
The explosion was just an illusion created by Xu Yinglian’s Daoist Magic and not a real self-destruction.
An Zhisu’s figure suddenly appeared dozens of feet below, having dodged the explosion in the critical moment using the Cloud-Parting Eight Trigrams Step.
She then merged once more with her sword; her Sword Light instantly exploded tenfold and viciously charged at Xu Yinglian again.
The two fought inseparably, exchanging six or seven lethal moves within moments, as if they each wanted nothing more than to kill the other, sending chills down Qiu Changtian’s spine.
He was just about to rush to separate them, shouting, “Stop fighting,” when he suddenly heard Luo Baiyuan’s voice from behind, sounding a bit puzzled:
“Are they sparring?”
“Senior Sister Han Yuan?
???G?.??
You’ve finally arrived at Shushan,” Qiu Changtian was secretly overjoyed but wore a look of faint worry on his face.
He explained, “The person fighting with Junior sister is Master Jiao Xiao of Shushan, who previously won second place in the White Jade Capital competition.”
“Sister, can you please intervene to stop them?
If they continue like this, I’m afraid there will be trouble.”
“Brother, won’t you stop them?” Luo Baiyuan asked curiously.
“Junior Sister Xu is eager to win,” said Qiu Changtian with a wry smile.
“If she is winning, her desire to win is so great that she would begrudge me for interrupting; if she is losing, my intervention would only embarrass her.”
“I see,” Luo Baiyuan took him at his word.
After all, Master Qiong Ying was known for her strong-willed nature, and as the Golden Core Realm Chief Disciple of Kunlun, she often heard about it.
So, she thought, if Junior Sister Qiong Ying was too concerned about the impression she made in Changgeng Junior Brother’s eyes, then indeed it would not be good for her to intervene hastily and cause a misunderstanding.
So, she flew up on her sword, fingers shaping Daoist Formulas as she went.
The temperature around them plummeted suddenly, and the vast, swirling snow forced the two fiercely battling figures to quickly retreat.
Xu Yinglian’s expression was icy cold.
Although she appeared composed, her green dress now had countless slits from slashing sword qi.
An Zhisu’s face was indifferent.
Despite her outward appearance of being unscathed, her hair and cheeks bore many marks of smoke and singeing.
Clearly, the true state of affairs was far from the calm demeanor both displayed.
Qiu Changtian wore a worried look but sighed inwardly without cease.
With such a poor relationship between my first and second wife, how will I be able to maintain harmony in my inner court once their issues are fully exposed?
However, he then thought to himself: This is a good thing!
If the two of them were really to get along well and address each other as sisters, forming a united front in the inner court like a sheet of iron, then how could I exert my authority as their husband?
To pull strings, form cliques, and maintain a balance of power is the essence of management!
Qiu Changtian quickly pulled Xu Yinglian to his side, grasped her wrist, and with his divine sense carefully scrutinized her for injuries.
Confirming that she was not seriously harmed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing the concern of her husband written all over his face, Xu Yinglian felt a bit of warmth in her heart and was about to say something when she heard An Zhisu, who had just ingested an elixir, speak indifferently:
“True to your reputation as the Phoenix Immortal, you live up to your name.”
With that, she quickly transformed into a beam of sword light and left.
Qiu Changtian watched her departure and then heard Xu Yinglian say suddenly, in a deep voice:
“If it weren’t for Senior Sister Han Yuan stepping in, I would have definitely been the one defeated in the end.”
Qiu Changtian remained silent, inwardly agreeing.
Wasn’t that the truth?
An Zhisu, although fierce in her fighting style, hadn’t used any sword dao techniques from beginning to end, thus her consumption of true yuan was far less than Xu Yinglian’s.
Junior Sister Xu is still the possessor of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart, aware that her opponent’s battle experience far surpassed her own, allowing her to handle Xu Yinglian’s attacks with such simple methods.
If it were not for the concern that this area is within the Shushan territory where a serious confrontation would certainly not end well for her…
After her loss to Master Jingyun of Penglai in the White Jade Capital’s grand competition last time, now defeated by Jiao Xiao True Person of Shushan, Xu Yinglian suddenly felt a profound sense of loss at how insignificant her strength seemed in the vast world.
Yet, she quickly reignited her fighting spirit.
It is precisely because of this that the path of cultivation isn’t boring!
My senior brother is my ultimate goal, while these opponents are merely stepping stones on my way to defeating him!
Although Qiu Changtian did not know what was on her mind, seeing her transition from feeling lost to being resolute and spirited, how could he not guess her thoughts?
Enough of this, Junior Sister Xu!
“Senior Sister Han Yuan, weren’t you supposed to arrive only tomorrow?” Qiu Changtian asked curiously, “Why the haste today?”
“The situation is somewhat complicated,” Luo Baiyuan said with a sigh.
“Changgeng, Qiong Ying, our master said it’s time for you to know.”
“Do you remember the Golden Que Secret Realm I mentioned to you after the last grand competition at the White Jade Capital?”
Xu Yinglian’s eyes widened: Could it be…
Qiu Changtian also put on a surprised expression.
