Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 130 — Palace Recovery

The attack of the organization led by the Sky Cloud Temple was quite electrifying for the entire martial world afterwards.

It was not only because of their defeat that the information was in an uproar but rather hearing the news that many large organizations had made alliances with the Sky Cloud Temple.

Eternal Snow and White Peacock were one example, both organizations were very famous throughout the martial world especially the Moon Empire because of the crimes they had committed.

If those two great organizations were to join the Sky Cloud Temple then it could be imagined just how powerful the criminal alliance would be.

Just with those three organizations alone was enough for them to attack the Imperial Family, especially if the Sky Cloud Temple moved its entire alliance, it would be difficult for others to imagine their strength.

Therefore after three days of battle in the palace had passed, Jiang Qisha announced that he would have a re-meeting to discuss the matter regarding the alliance of the Sky Cloud Temple.

They really had to unite to fight against the organizations, this attack as an example that White Peacock was not the only problem in this empire.

The meeting lasted a long time but eventually yielded satisfactory results, the leaders chose to join the government including the three great heroes, Xiao Fan, Yue Jian, and Chu Guyu.

They agreed not to let criminal organizations live too long or this incident of assault was just the beginning.

***

It took two days at the palace to clean up everything that happened, including cleaning up the bodies in the palace.

Zhou Yuan did not come out during that time, he chose to be busy meditating in his room while trying to hide the murderous aura in his body.

Zhou Yuan's murderous aura was already quite concentrated before using the four swords Grandpa Bai had given him and now that the assault had been completed, the murderous aura grew darker than the previous one.

Although it took some time to erode the murderous aura, Zhou Yuan was finally able to hide his entire murderous aura so that he was now no different from the aura of an ordinary person.

"It looks like this aura I can already use..." Zhou Yuan realized something then then smiled faintly.

Although the aura of a killer is something that is negative, but actually the aura of a killer can be used by a swordsman, especially if in a fight.

A preformed murderous aura can be used by a person to mentally attack his opponent so as to frighten them, at a certain stage a dense murderous aura can make a person difficult to breathe even to the point of losing consciousness.

Although Zhou Yuan had to admit he did not expect to utilize the aura that was considered cursed as his ability in battle.

After feeling enough, Zhou Yuan cleaned himself up before going out of the room. Just as he opened the exit, Jiang Yifei was already standing there.

"Mr Princess, why are you here?!" Zhou Yuan was startled, he was completely unaware that someone had stepped into his room, there was a possibility that Yifei had been standing near the door of his room long ago.

"Why? Of course seeing you, don't you remember that you had to teach me!" Jiang Yifei pointed at Zhou Yuan's nose.

Zhou Yuan smiled awkwardly, he thought the pink-haired girl needed time to recover her body and mental condition after this attack.

"And don't call me 'Mr Princess', I told you it made me sound older. You can call me with something more familiar!"

Zhou Yuan scratched his head, "Then, Fei'er, let's continue practicing."

"Hmmm!" With his jutek style, Jiang Yifei snorted then walked first.

Zhou Yuan smiled faintly then followed the girl's footsteps, Zhou Yuan realized that although Jiang Yifei had always been a little cold to him but the feelings that the girl showed were always different.

As he headed towards the Yifei residence, Zhou Yuan looked around the palace which was now back to its original atmosphere.

Zhou Yuan sighed as something flashed through his mind, he still did not expect the Sky Cloud Temple to attack the palace during the day especially when there were many martial world heroes who were gathered in it.

Zhou Yuan realized that if he had not been helped by Grandpa Bai, the fate of the imperial government would have been different. Zhou Yuan and others must admit that criminal organizations are at the stage of endangering the government and others.

'At least for some time to come they can not act again after this attack...' Zhou Yuan sighed the umpteenth time.

"What are you daydreaming about?" Jiang Yifei suddenly asked, staring at Zhou Yuan's face.

The girl's voice resuscitated Zhou Yuan from his daydream, now he realized that he had reached the Yifei residence. "Nothing, I'm just thinking about something..."

Jiang Yifei narrowed his eyes sharply, trying to pry for information but the young man did not say anything afterwards. Jiang Yifei snorted and invited Zhou Yuan into his residence.

Jiang Yifei asked for a moment to go into his house and leave Zhou Yuan alone in his courtyard, the girl soon returned but now her face was rippling and looking very sweet.

Zhou Yuan smiled faintly, should he admit that the girl's face fascinated him.

"What about my appearance?" Yifei asked while playing her hair child.

"You're beautiful Mr. Put-I mean Fei'er." Zhou Yuan annulled his words as the girl directly looked at him sharply.

"Ehm, how about we just fight." Jiang Yifei directly mounted the horses, distracting the previous topic.

"In the meantime Fei'er, I actually want to teach you a technique, maybe it will be useful?"

"Technics?"

Zhou Yuan nodded and said that the technique in question is a high-level kick science, because it seems like Yifei is very suitable to explore empty-handed science such as kick techniques.

Without waiting, Zhou Yuan directly practiced the kick technique in front of Yifei, the same technique he had taught Xiao Rou a few years ago. The Kick of the Sky Ruler.

Zhou Yuan taught the girl because he felt the Sky Ruler Kick could be combined with the Jiang Family's Blue Fire Technique.

Yifei looked at Zhou Yuan's movements to the end and he felt that the kick was indeed suitable for him.

Feeling that the girl was interested, Zhou Yuan began to repeat his movements until it was felt that Yifei could memorize them.

After feeling enough, Zhou Yuan then told the girl to practice doing the technique just now while she would sit under a tree while observing Yifei.

"You seem to be teaching Fei'er a new technique huh?"

Zhou Yuan's heart almost stopped hearing the voice, he discovered Jiang Qisha was already standing beside him.

"You're surprised, sorry my sudden arrival." Jiang Qisha chuckled as he looked at his grandson who was training from a distance.

"Your Majesty..." Zhou Yuan immediately got up and saluted him.

"It doesn't need to be that formal, you can call me Grandpa to be more familiar."

"That's..." Zhou Yuan scratched his ear. "Does Your Majesty want to see Fei'er?" Ask to divert the conversation.

"Fey'er? You guys are close too?" Jiang Qisha smiled widely, he considered this one step towards his plan of betrothing Yifei and Zhou Yuan.

Jiang Qisha cleared his throat slowly. "My arrival here wasn't for Fei'er but rather I'm looking for you Yuan'er."

"Searching?"

Jiang Qisha nodded "I just want to inform you of a fact, I heard you are the one who controls that floating sword..."

While the battle was going on, there were some soldiers who had indeed seen Zhou Yuan controlling the sword.

Zhou Yuan knew that this would happen but he hoped that someone would not ask him because he would have difficulty explaining the origin of the golden sword and the ability to control it.

"Your Majesty, can you please cover this information from anyone..." Zhou Yuan could not dodge so requested that Jiang Qisha not spread the information.

Jiang Qisha frowned before finally being replaced with a smile. "Then Yuan'er, as the Moon Emperor, I am very grateful that you have pinned my empire."

Jiang Qisha then patted Zhou Yuan's shoulder softly. "You don't have to worry, for information matters, I'll make sure to close everything..."

Zhou Yuan nodded, he was grateful that Jiang Qisha understood his feelings and did not ask further how he could obtain those 4 swords and his way of controlling them.

"Yuan'er, I will compensate you greatly for your services, say what you want, money, resources, or even tanta?"

Zhou Yuan smiled awkwardly before shaking his head, he did all that not out of wanting a reply. After all, the prize money is better used for something useful such as restoring the construction of the palace that was destroyed by the attack.

"Aren't you tempted by the resources in the palace, last time we met you were very tempted by the potions I brought."

"I'm actually tempted by His Majesty just for now I still don't need it."

"Hm? Are you sure?"

Zhou Yuan nodded, actually how high the resource efficacy in this palace would not make Zhou Yuan break through unless there was indeed a rare plant of the Moon Orchid type but the plant would usually grow once every five years, after all, it was only in the forest of the Green Bamboo Sect.

Jiang Qisha twisted his brain and offered Zhou Yuan to join the Imperial government. In the martial world, an offer like this was so tempting that even many Noble Families wanted it.

Jiang Qisha would give Zhou Yuan a high throne if he wanted to hold a post in the empire only for the umpteenth time, the young man still refused.

Jiang Qisha sighed, it seemed like Zhou Yuan did not want anything from him. Jiang Qisha then talked about another thing which was about the tournament in the Academy.

"Two months from now, the Four Imperial Academies will be holding a grand tournament for all the younger generation. Not only academy students, participants outside the academy can also participate in it. All the young warriors in the four empires would gather there to claim the title..."
