268: Full Moon Celebration

That appearance accompanied by its own BGM signified an invincible existence.

How old was Xiao Feng today? He wasn't even an adult yet, so how could performing the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms give him such an illusion?

It seemed that even in this world of combined martial arts, Xiao Feng's combat power remained an invincible existence.

He was just young now, and his strength hadn't risen yet. Once he completely mastered the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, Cultivated the Nine Yang Divine Art to the Realm of Perfection, and added the Northern Darkness Divine Art, the effect would be absolutely explosive.

A set of the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms was performed as smoothly as flowing clouds and water; although it was slightly immature, the effect was still not weak.

With Xiao Feng's current strength at the Innate Realm, he was already no inferior to those Grandmaster Masters.

One must know that Xiao Feng also possessed the strength to fight above his level.

"Not bad, not bad. I can see that you have indeed been very hardworking during this period."

"However, you must not be proud. Your current strength is among the top of your peers, but you are not yet an invincible existence."

"The Jianghu is treacherous. Sometimes, having high martial arts doesn't mean you are invincible."

"There is still much for you to learn. So, while your Master is away, you must practice your skills well, do you understand?" Duan Zhengchun urged.

"Fenger knows. Fenger will definitely not let Master down." Xiao Feng bowed respectfully to Duan Zhengchun.

After arranging everything, Duan Zhengchun made a trip to Western Xia and told Li Qiushui about the situation here.

Hearing that Duan Zhengchun wanted her to go to the Prince's Mansion to protect his women, Li Qiushui immediately felt a bit jealous.

"You heartless man, it's one thing that you haven't come to see me for so long."

"Now that you finally come to see me, it's actually to ask me to protect those women of yours."

"What makes you think I would agree?" Li Qiushui's tone carried a hint of resentment.

"What? So many complaints? Then what will it take for you to be willing to go?" Duan Zhengchun looked at Li Qiushui with a faint smile.

Feeling Duan Zhengchun's gaze, Li Qiushui's heart trembled, and she somewhat regretted saying such words.

But since it had already come to this, it would be meaningless to take it back.

"It's fine if you want me to protect them, but before that, you have to let me eat my fill first."

"After all, no one knows how long you will be away this time." Li Qiushui said her condition with flickering eyes.

Hearing Li Qiushui's condition, Duan Zhengchun almost laughed out of anger.

This woman really didn't know her limits, actually daring to propose such a condition.

It was truly like an old lady crawling into bed—it made him laugh.

"Fine, this Prince knows many dishes; I'm just afraid you'll be stuffed by then."

"Today, this Prince will let you taste my skills. I want to see just how much you can eat." After Duan Zhengchun finished speaking, he began to prepare the dishes.

Hearing Duan Zhengchun's words, Li Qiushui's eyes lit up.

During this time when Duan Zhengchun wasn't by her side, she couldn't sleep every night, her mind filled with his figure.

Now hearing that Duan Zhengchun was going out, and not only could she not go with him, but she also had to stay behind to protect the women around him, how could she not have any resentment?

Now this resentment could only be vented on Duan Zhengchun; who told him to provoke so many women?

"Alright, the food is ready. Let's begin." Duan Zhengchun looked at Li Qiushui with a smile.

"Prince, these few dishes of yours aren't enough for me."

"You wouldn't be saving all the good stuff for those women of yours, would you?" Li Qiushui looked at Duan Zhengchun with a smile on her lips.

"Heh... so are you going to eat or not?" Duan Zhengchun said with a half-smile.

"I'll eat. Why wouldn't I? There's no reason not to eat what's delivered to my mouth." After Li Qiushui finished speaking, she didn't hold back and started eating immediately.

Duan Zhengchun didn't hold back either, satisfying Li Qiushui's requests as much as possible.

For a full night, the two of them ate this meal all night long.

In the end, it was Li Qiushui who was stuffed; she really couldn't eat anymore, so it finally ended.

"Alright, let's go..."

After satisfying Li Qiushui's appetite, Duan Zhengchun took Li Qiushui and left the Western Xia Imperial Palace.

Of course, before leaving, some matters were also settled.

Now, she no longer had any attachment to the imperial power of Western Xia.

With an invincible man by her side, wasn't that better than this?

After everything was properly arranged, it happened to be the time for the children's Full Moon Feast.

Duan Zhengchun didn't invite many people; the only invitations sent out were to Zhang Sanfeng of the Sect, as well as Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou in the distant Great Ming.

On this day, the Prince's Mansion was decorated with lanterns and streamers, exceptionally lively.

The servants were all busy, smiles on their faces.

Because today was the Full Moon Feast for their Prince's Mansion's Young Prince and Young Princess.

The Prince had actually rewarded each of them with a hundred taels. So much silver was more than they could earn in two years normally.

Far away in the Sect, the Eldest Martial Brother was instructing his son in practice when a Sect Disciple ran over quickly.

"Sect Head, there is a letter sent from the Kingdom."

"Oh? The Kingdom? Was it sent by the Prince of Zhennan?" The Eldest Martial Brother spoke with a look of surprise, taking the letter at the same time.

"Yes, it says it's for the Grandmaster, inviting the old gentleman to attend the Full Moon Feast for the Young Prince and Young Princess."

"Oh? Prince Duan already has children? Haha... Good, good. You may leave now; I will go see Master immediately." The Eldest Martial Brother said with a smile.

Since the last time Master went out because of Zhang Wuji, he had been in secluded meditation since his return.

Therefore, he didn't know about some of the things that had happened in the Jianghu.

As for the matter of Zhang Wuji's arm being crippled because he provoked Duan Zhengchun, he hadn't told Master either.

This matter wasn't mentioned again, and it was considered settled.

He believed that Zhang Wuji had already received his due punishment; if he were to be expelled from the Sect as well, he wouldn't know how to face his Fifth Junior Brother.

He also knew this matter couldn't be hidden from Master, so he could only delay it as long as possible.

However, what he didn't expect was that after Zhang Wuji's arm was severed, he disappeared from the Deaf-Mute Valley. He had already sent people to investigate, but there was no news at all.

"Father, is it a letter from Prince Duan?" Song Qingshu asked curiously.

"Yes, you practice your skills first. I'm going to see your Grandmaster." The Eldest Martial Brother nodded and turned to leave.

Song Qingshu had also heard the words just now; he just didn't know if Grandmaster would go in person this time or if he would take him along.

However, it was better if he didn't go; his current strength was still too weak.

Without Zhang Wuji, he had become the number one among the Sect's third-generation Disciples, and he couldn't slack off in his Cultivation.

Otherwise, when the time came, Grandmaster wouldn't pass the position to him.

The Eldest Martial Brother arrived at the place where Zhang Sanfeng was in secluded meditation and explained his purpose.

"Master, the Prince of Zhennan, Duan Zhengchun, has sent an invitation, requesting you to go to the Kingdom for an appointment." The Eldest Martial Brother said in a respectful tone.

"Hmm? Go to the Kingdom for an appointment?" Zhang Sanfeng's voice rang out, and then his figure appeared before the Eldest Martial Brother.

He took the letter and opened it, immediately understanding what was going on.

"This kid, time really flies. I didn't expect it would be a year so soon." Zhang Sanfeng said with emotion.

"Master, are we going then?"

"We must certainly go. Let this old Daoist think about what kind of congratulatory gift should be prepared." Zhang Sanfeng frowned in thought.
