The Dragon Warrior Pair
DWP 214 - Murong Liuyu and Qiao Xi
When knowing the entire corpse of the swordsman of the Fire Dragon Palace, the Mountain of Single Sword and the Three Kings Sword vanished, Murong Qiaomi approached Jing Yang with a complicated expression as if not believing in the rapid development of the young man.
Jing Yang briefly told her everything from her separation with Ye Xiaoya to the battle in the Hidden Fog Country. Jing Yang did not tell the whole story and of course there were some he had hidden from starting from the Trost Nation that colonized the Qing Empire, his meeting with the King of Hell and the death of Xue Qinghua.
But of all that Jing Yang recounted his desire to become an Emperor Jiang at such a young age. Jing Yang said everyone calmly before Murong Qiaomi, Fan Ziwei, Tao Qiaoli and Chi Rong.
“I will accept my role. I can't be selfish. To achieve my dream, I can't constantly have the mindset of a spoiled brat whining at adults.” Jing Yang calmly looked at Murong Qiaomi, Fan Ziwei, Tao Qiaoli and Chi Rong in turn.
Then Jing Yang lowered his head, “Will Chairman Qiaomi and Senior of the Peach Flower Palace support this myself?” Then Jing Yang stood up straight and smiled.
“I want you all to reprimand me when I make a mistake.” Jing Yang smiled showing that he did not want to trouble all the parties that would support him.
Murong Qiaomi noticed Jing Yang's expression. The young man was hiding something big, but his desires and goals were very noble.
Jing Yang did not wait for Murong Qiaomi to reply, he smiled wryly unconsciously with himself biting his lower lip. That sad expression appeared for a few seconds before Jing Yang finally faded all his sad feelings and again showed a calm expression.
‘Yangyang..’ Xue Bingyue could tell Jing Yang was hiding something from her.
“I don't want to lose anyone anymore.” Jing Yang clenched his hands tightly, “What does Chairman Qiaomi think I am too small to be an Emperor Jiang?”
A question that made Murong Qiaomi. The woman from the Peach Flower Palace pinched Jing Yang's gaunt cheeks and crouched down.
“I thought you were a boy. But you're thinking grown-up. I'll support whatever path you choose, the One Who's on. As long as your goal is noble and as my mind, I will support you.” Murong Qiaomi stroked Jing Yang's head.
“Chairman Qiaomi, can you stop treating me like a child?” Jing Yang himself felt strange as his head was stroked by Murong Qiaomi.
After that they decided to head towards the Peach Flower Palace. Murong Qiaomi would support Jing Yang fully becoming an Emperor Jiang.
“Yueyue.” Jing Yang glanced at Xue Bingyue and clasped the sweet girl's hand.
“What's up, Yangyang?” Xue Bingyue glanced at Jing Yang and noticed the handsome young man's face.
“No.” Jing Yang reflex pulled her hand and blushed shyly, “I... Me...”
Seeing Jing Yang gulp down, Xue Bingyue let out a crisp laugh. Jing Yang turned his face red.
The sweetness of the two made Bai Xianlin smile to herself. Not only was Bai Xianlin alone, but Shi Surao, Murong Qiaomi, Tao Qiaoli, Fan Ziwei and Chi Rong also smiled to themselves as they saw that Jing Yang and Xue Bingyue looked adorable.
‘I want to apologize to you. I've killed Granny Qinghua.’ Jing Yang was deeply saddened in his heart. He smiled faintly and shook his head slowly.

The situation of the martial world of the Jiang Empire grew even more in an uproar after the news of the destruction of the Fire Dragon Palace, Sword Mountain and the Three Kings Sword in Jing Yang's hands.
Murong Liuyu and Qiao Xi who were in charge of delivering the message were still in disbelief with the contents of the letter they read from the message that Murong Qiaomi had delivered.
Many could not believe that Jing Yang had killed Ju Kai and Zhen Wang. But the news spread rapidly with time and all the way to the entire land of the Jiang Empire.
The call on the Sky Sword Sect, Water Valley Sect and Wind Hill Sect as well as Moon Snow Island to form an alliance was also made by Murong Liuyu.
Later the alliance will be led directly by Jing Yang and Murong Qiaomi who act as his advisors. The formation of this alliance approved the four sects who obtained the invitation letter from Murong Liuyu.
Murong Liuyu himself was curious as to how powerful Jing Yang was now. Recalling the time he had once tested Jing Yang's abilities when the young man was about to enter the Peach Flower Palace.
“Xi, it is difficult to accelerate if the Yang Mercer has reached the Spirit Swordsman. This senseless development made me wonder..” Murong Liuyu let out a long sigh after completing the mission Murong Qiaomi had given him.
Qiao Xi himself was increasingly eager to meet with Jing Yang. His feelings for Jing Yang were still the same even stronger. His heart thumping grew even faster when he learned of the news about Jing Yang.
“Stop chasing him, Xi. The one who brought back his childhood friend.” Murong Liuyu alluded to the existence of Xue Bingyue who was Xue Qinghua's grandson and had a special place in Jing Yang's heart considering the two had grown up together as children.
Qiao Xi responded casually, “Teacher Liuyu, I don't mind that. If Brother Yang accepts my feelings, I would willingly be second to him.”
Choking Murong Liuyu heard Qiao Xi's relaxed response, “Xi Maser, who taught you to talk like that? We warriors from the Peach Flower Palace are forbidden to have a relationship with a man. It's downstairs. You said you were willing to be that young man's interlude? I'm disappointed!”
Murong Liuyu's tone suddenly shot up, making Qiao Xi break out in a cold sweat. The two stopped running and looked at each other. Before long Qiao Xi lowered his head and apologized.
“Teacher Liuyu, I don't mean-”
“Already, Xi. I was in your position once. There was a reason why the Peach Flower Palace was established. If the time comes, either I or Brother Qiaomi and the other Elders will tell you all.” Murong Liuyu closed his eyes after saying so and let out a long sigh.
“Teacher Liuyu..” Qiao Xi looked guilty. He realized he had no chance of getting the full Jing Yang, but there was no harm in him trying, either, as the feelings he had been suppressing the longer it got stronger made Qiao Xi increasingly want to belong to Jing Yang completely.
“Who taught you to talk like that?” Murong Liuyu asked as he thought Qiao Xi was imitating someone's words.
“It... Anu, Master Liuyu actually who said that to me is Teacher Hua Ying. He was always supportive of my feelings. And according to him there is no harm and it is only natural that a man like Jing Yang will later have dozens of wives because he is a genius swordsman and emperor.” Back choking Murong Liuyu heard Qiao Xi's reply.
Murong Liuyu fell silent without saying anything more. Hua Ying's words were true as they were. Who is the woman who does not want to be one of the women of Jing Yang in the future considering the ability of the young man in the martial world is very promising with a clear lineage of a ruler and a figure of nobility who first carved his name was in the martial world of the Jiang Empire.
Of course many were curious about the sosol Jing Yang and some were already paying attention to him. Murong Liuyu invited Qiao Xi to return to the Peach Flower Palace and chose not to discuss about Jing Yang on the way.
