The Daughter Of Destiny Broke Off The Engagement? I Married Her Sister Instead.

Fortunately, he eventually obtained a useful piece of information.

And that is--

Someone had passed by the scene of the incident and saw the murderer accompanied by a woman.

Some people recognized her, the woman is the daughter of the master of the Lake Sword Sect: Liu Ruoyan.

Finally, a clue was found, and Xiao Yan was somewhat excited.

However, he immediately became worried again because the Lake Sword Sect was not an easy target to provoke.

There are several sects near their city, but the most famous one is undoubtedly the Lake Sword Sect.

The history of the Lake Sword Sect is quite long and profound. It existed even before the establishment of the Rising Sun Empire.

Legend has it that the founder of this sect had already ascended to the Immortal Realm thousands of years ago, which is quite impressive.

And currently, the current master of this sect is also an extremely powerful figure. It is said that he has reached the Nascent Soul stage of cultivation, which is quite extraordinary and terrifying.

If the person who provoked Xiao's family is connected to the daughter of the Lake Sword Sect's master, then the other party must have a significant background, and this matter becomes very tricky.

It should be noted that although Xiao's family is the strongest family in the city, they still appear somewhat insignificant in front of a true sect, especially in front of a sect master with Nascent Soul cultivation.

"Damn, it's actually related to the Lake Sword Sect. It seems that there is something really serious."

With a gloomy face, as the situation developed to this point, Xiao Yan's fists had already clenched.

However, he would definitely not give up. He must investigate the matter thoroughly.

It is not feasible to personally go to the Lake Sword Sect to demand an explanation or to kidnap a cultivator from the Lake Sword Sect to inquire about their internal situation.

For now, it is uncertain about the relationship between that person and the Lake Sword Sect. It is better not to act against the people of the Lake Sword Sect to avoid unnecessary enemies. Xiao Yan is clear about this.

He has some understanding of the Lake Sword Sect and knows that they have some grievances with the Imperial Axe Sect recently, and it seems that they have not been resolved.

So, can he obtain information about the Lake Sword Sect through the Imperial Axe Sect? Can he even cooperate with the Imperial Axe Sect to get a powerful ally and determine who the person beside the daughter of the Lake Sword Sect's master is?

With the help of the Imperial Axe Sect, even if he opposes the Lake Sword Sect, he should have more confidence, right?

However, if he wants the Imperial Axe Sect to take action, he will definitely have to spend a lot of money.

This doesn't matter.

Money is just an external thing, but he cannot let go of a great vengeance.

Thinking of this plan, Xiao Yan immediately took action.

He had sealed the city for these days, not for nothing.

He gave a lot of money to the people of the Empire, and they agreed to help him.

And now, the upper echelons of the Empire have already noticed something abnormal. If the city continues to be sealed, he will be eliminated by the Empire first.

Although he is the overlord of the city, he still appears insignificant in front of the entire Rising Sun Empire.

Quickly lifting the city's blockade, Xiao Yan immediately went to the location of the Imperial Axe Sect in person to request an alliance and deal with the damn Lake Sword Sect together.

Meanwhile, at the location of the Lake Sword Sect, during this period of time, Liu Ruoyan had already returned to the sect and had been waiting for the people from Xiao's family to come, but they had not arrived yet.

She had told her father about this matter, hoping that her father could help Chu Qianqiu.

Although Liu Jiangnan didn't have a major grudge against the Xiao family, since it was his daughter's request, it wouldn't be a problem for him to lend a hand.

Therefore, he asked his daughter to stay in the sect for the time being. Xiao's family should be investigating their Lake Sword Sect. When those guys arrive, he will come to the mountain to inquire.

If Xiao's family really intends to take action, then the Lake Sword Sect will naturally help.

However, Liu Jiangnan has been keeping a close eye on the situation in Yuefeng City. If the Xiao family sends someone to search for Chu Qianqiu's whereabouts, they will take the initiative.

Unfortunately, during this period of time, the Xiao family has not taken any action against Chu Qianqiu.

They also haven't caused any trouble for him at the Hujian Sect, which is quite strange.

...

While staying at the sect, Liu Ruoyan has been wanting to go to Yuefeng City to see Chu Qianqiu's situation.

She is actually quite anxious, but because of her special circumstances, she cannot go out casually.

If she is seen in Yuefeng City, Chu Qianqiu's situation will immediately worsen.

Since she doesn't know what has happened with the Xiao family and why they are acting so slowly, all she can do is wait.

As Liu Ruoyan waits, she gradually realizes that her mind is filled with thoughts of him.

Since they parted ways, she has lost interest in everything. The swordsmanship she used to be interested in has become dull, and even the best food at home tastes like wax in her mouth.

She often sits under a tree at the sect, staring at the ants on the ground, counting them all day long.

Occasionally, Liu Jiangnan stands behind his daughter, watching her absentmindedness without her noticing, lost in thought.

"So, she's in love. That's a good thing."

"I thought she would remain solitary due to losing her mother at a young age, but it seems she has changed for the better."

"That young man is indeed good, worthy of my daughter's trust for a lifetime."

"In his eyes, I can see something different from others."

Thinking to himself, Liu Jiangnan pats his daughter's shoulder and asks what she's thinking about here.

Liu Ruoyan blushes and says it's nothing, then leaves on her own.

...

The Chu family.

After these days, the Chu family remains calm.

Chu Qianqiu thought that Liu Ruoyan had stopped the Xiao family from taking action, so he busied himself with his own affairs and stopped waiting for news all the time.

Whenever he has free time, he visits his own businesses to see if the number of customers is still the same as before.

Seeing that it is indeed the case, he finally relaxes and returns to his family to check on the situation of the younger generation.

During these days, the younger generation hasn't made much progress, so he hasn't received any rewards from the system.

However, he can still feel that the younger generation is developing in a positive direction. At least their aptitude is improving every day with the blessing of the Lingyu fish.

At this rate, in a year, a large portion of the Chu family should have the qualifications for cultivation, which is quite remarkable.

"It still needs some time."

"But I can't wait any longer... Is there any way to quickly improve my cultivation?"

Lost in thought, Chu Qianqiu doesn't have any good ideas.

Actually, he can use elixirs to quickly improve his strength.

In Liu Ruoyan's ring, there are several elixirs called "Rampage Pills" that can rapidly enhance a person's cultivation and put them in a state of frenzy.

But he also knows that these pills have severe side effects, and the improved cultivation is temporary. After a period of time, it will regress, and even the original strength may decline.

That's why he didn't choose to use these pills and directly confront the Xiao family.
