Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 114 — Arrival of Guests
Jiang Yifei slowly opened his eyes, the girl's first glance was to see a beautiful man. Jiang Yifei's eyes immediately opened wide and hurriedly shunned the man upon learning of the situation.
"You-you! What are you doing to me?!" Jiang Yifei instantly crossed both hands on his body, thinking Zhou Yuan had done something to him.
"I should have said so, Princess what are you doing sleeping here?"
Jiang Yifei's face slowly turned red, so he remembered last night when Zhou Yuan had already fallen asleep himself quietly sitting near the man.
Originally Jiang Yifei only wanted to feel the outside atmosphere just like the young man had said, he had not expected to fall asleep even to the point of leaning on his shoulder.
"Anything that happens today don't tell anyone, you'll pay if you dare to reveal it!" Jiang Yifei pointed at Zhou Yuan in a threatening tone, trying to cover up his nervousness.
Jiang Yifei then hurriedly turned into his house to hide his reddened face like a boiled crab.
Zhou Yuan chuckled softly as he shook his head to see the girl's behavior, he then left the girl's residence and returned to his room to clean up.
"Hey, have you heard that the Red Sword Warrior is coming to the palace today?"
"Aren't those supposed to be Patriarch Yue from the green Bamboo sect? You misinformed to know?"
"No, I'm serious. Senior Xiao will indeed come here."
"Hm? Then maybe the two will come here, the last few days have many guests who come to the palace. It did not rule out the possibility that they were also invited to the palace."
Zhou Yuan heard the talk of the two eunuchs guarding the door of his room, the two eunuchs were actually speaking in a soft tone but Zhou Yuan who had a keen sense of hearing could still hear it in his room.
"Red Swordsman... Patriarch Yue of the Green Bamboo Sect... I think I know both?"
If Zhou Yuan was not mistaken the two people the eunuch talked about were Xiao Fan and Yue Jian, the grand meeting held by Jiang Qisha had indeed invited important people only and few people knew about it, Zhou Yuan had not expected the two figures he met would come here.
Zhou Yuan came out of his room when he heard the news, he wanted to see the two heroes coming.
Yue Jian and Xiao Fan were both high-level warriors who focused their abilities on the sword, they were ranked as the top ten great heroes in the Moon Empire.
It was not easy to meet the two as they had high positions in clans or sects.
"I heard your conversation, when will they be here?" Zhou Yuan asked his two eunuchs.
The two eunuchs looked at each other, but both spoke in whispers but did not expect Zhou Yuan to hear them. This made the two eunuchs think they had spoken in a loud voice.
"If it is not wrong they will come today Young master, at the entrance of the palace there are already some servants who will welcome the two..."
Zhou Yuan nodded slowly, he chose to go there to see them while the two eunuchs followed Zhou Yuan afterwards.
***
Zhou Yuan along with his two eunuchs arrived at the entrance of the palace, they found that there were already many servants lined up neatly and ready to welcome the two heroes.
Zhou Yuan also looked at Xi Jinxue from afar, just like her, the girl also wanted to see Xiao Fan and Yue Jian directly.
About fifteen minutes later the two men in question finally came along simultaneously wearing horses. Yue Jian and Xiao Fan entered the palace.
"Brother Fan, Brother Yue, I'm sorry to have this sudden meeting..." Jiang Qisha greeted the two heroes.
"Your Majesty need not feel guilty, I haven't been here in a long time either." Xiao Fan smiled gently as he looked around the palace.
"Brother Fan is right, after all I also want to see the outside world. Living in a sect for so long bored me." Yue Jian laughed crisply.
Seen from the outside alone someone will realize the relationship of the three is quite good even though rarely together, the title as a champion of the top ten makes their relationship so much closer.
Jiang Qisha brought Xiao Fan and Yue Jian into the palace, there was already a banquet for both of them.
Zhou Yuan observed all of that from afar, he had thought of greeting Xiao Fan or Yue Jian but the situation was not right.
'If it's not wrong that big meeting will happen in about five days, it means that there will be many high-level warriors coming here...' Seeing the arrival of Xiao Fan and Yue Jian made Zhou Yuan aware of the situation.
The gathering of high warriors in one place is very rare in the martial world, Zhou Yuan was sure sooner or later there were other warriors who came here and had the strength not inferior to Xiao Fan and Yue Jian.
The next day Zhou Yuan's guess was correct, when he wanted to see again at the entrance of the palace, there was another guest who had just come to the palace but this time the guest was 3 women wearing red dresses.
Zhou Yuan's gaze was fixed on one of the women in the guest troupe. He felt a great aura within his body that was deliberately concealed.
"Hm, isn't that middle female from the Chu clan, if I'm not mistaken for Chu Guyu..."
"Chu Guyu you said! I didn't expect to see it in person here."
Zhou Yuan heard the eunuch's words, he had never heard Chu Guyu's name so asked them.
"Chu Guyu was a female swordsman who was like Xiao Fan and Yue Jian, his strength almost matched them but Chu Guyu was younger than the two..."
From the two eunuchs Zhou Yuan understood that the woman called Chu Guyu was a martial genius in his era because at his sixty years of age he could break through to the Light Realm.
With her inner strength, Chu Guyu looked younger than her original age, looking someone who was in her 40s but whose face remained beautiful and attractive.
Now Chu Guyu was seventy years old, at that age he was already recognized as the ten greatest heroes in the Moon Empire, in contrast to Xiao Fan and Yue Jian who had aged a hundred years and more.
In the martial world of events like Chu Guyu was indeed very rare, an average swordsman who had good talent could even reach the Light Realm in the 70-90s.
While the not-so-genius may not even be able to reach the so-called Realm of Light.
One example was Zhou Bing, he had been decades in the Crystal Realm yet there were no signs of being able to break through to the Light Realm.
It was because there was a huge difference to breaking through from the Crystal Realm to the Light Realm. Not all warriors can break through there in his life because it is very difficult to do.
Zhou Yuan alone if not helped by his teacher in his first life would not have been able to reach the swordsman of the Light Realm.
