Chapter 267: Chapter 267
"Guxing is talented and diligent, plus she has Xiaoyao's full support. It's normal for her to be a bit faster than you two," Third Miss Nangong said helplessly, knowing the reason.
"No, I won't accept this. I must surpass her." the Young Miss said very seriously.
"I support you." Nangong Suxin rarely supported the Young Miss, because she also felt unwilling.
"Let's go apply to His Majesty for transfer orders to fight in the north." the Young Miss thought of an idea and suddenly felt she was too brilliant to have come up with this solution.
"I've already applied to His Majesty for that." Nangong Suxin said... Just as the Young Miss felt embarrassed, a messenger soldier reported from outside. Of course, this was also a female soldier, as all messages here had to go through the female soldiers outside.
"It seems the transfer orders have arrived." Nangong Suxin said calmly.
"No, no, this isn't transfer orders. It's a letter from Princess Ke Xin sent to us..." Third Miss Nangong received the letter. Generally, she was the one who read these things.
"Princess Ke Xin? Why would she write to us? Is there some matter?" Nangong Suxin asked. Although they knew Princess Ke Xin and were friends, they weren't close enough to correspond regularly, so she guessed there must be something important.
"There is something, and it's a big matter." Third Miss Nangong frowned gravely.
"What, did the Heavenly Wind Kingdom get destroyed?" the Young Miss asked puzzledly. She rarely saw Third Miss Nangong this serious, so she felt this must be something incredible. What she could think of that related to both Princess Ke Xin and herself seemed to be only the Heavenly Wind Kingdom.
"..." Third Miss Nangong was stunned for a moment, then said irritably, "The Heavenly Wind Kingdom is doing just fine. Don't you care at all? With you two Female War Gods in the Great Tang Empire, who would dare touch the Heavenly Wind Kingdom? Aren't they afraid you'd get upset and lead troops against them?"
"Then what exactly is the matter?" the Young Miss didn't understand. Was there some other connection?
"It's about Xiaoyao."
"What? Xiaoyao? What exactly happened?" the Young Miss immediately asked. Regarding matters concerning Xiaoyao, even if it wasn't a big deal, she would consider it very important, let alone when Third Miss Nangong had just said it was a big matter. Dıscover more novels at novel•fire.net
Third Miss Nangong continued, "Princess Ke Xin's letter says that Xiaoyao was captured by disciples from sects like the Azure Dragon Society to be used as prey..."
"Damn it. Does the Azure Dragon Society want to die? I'm going to destroy them." the Young Miss immediately raged, not even listening to the rest.
"Don't be hasty, let Third Sister finish speaking first." Nangong Suxin held back the Young Miss. "I know you're worried about the little servant, but at least hear her out."
"Alright, Susu, continue," the Young Miss nodded.
"Later, Xiaoyao killed all those people."
"Well killed." the Young Miss was delighted, as if she had been the one to kill them. But soon she remembered something. "How many opponents were there, and what were their strength levels?"
Third Miss Nangong answered, "According to reports, all the killed people possessed General Level strength or above, and there were several King Level ones too. The numbers were in the dozens, and they also brought servants, so there should have been several hundred people."
"Damn, how did Xiaoyao kill them? Did he break through to Emperor Level?" the Young Miss was somewhat puzzled, feeling this possibility wasn't entirely impossible. Xiaoyao had quite a few miracles about him, didn't he?
"No. He didn't. He did break through, but only to Scholar Level, Scholar Level intermediate. When we parted, he had just broken through the basic skills. This speed isn't slow either." Third Miss Nangong said.
"Scholar Level intermediate. That's not slow, but how did he kill those people? Poison? Traps?" the Young Miss guessed. She didn't expect to be so accurate in her guessing. It wasn't that she understood Xiaoyao, just that these were the only methods she could think of.
"..." Third Miss Nangong was silent for a moment. "Yes, poison and traps."
"What happened next?" the Young Miss had a look of "See, I understand him." while not forgetting to ask.
"Later..." Third Miss Nangong recounted everything about Xiaoyao at Medicine Immortal Ridge from the letter. When hearing about Xiaoyao being attacked by several Emperor Level experts, the Young Miss became restless again, wanting to kill those Emperor Level experts and asking for their names to remember.
"The current problem is that Xiaoyao is safe, but inevitably these sects might still want revenge, so Princess Ke Xin wants us to go intimidate them and resolve Xiaoyao's troubles." Third Miss Nangong said.
"Mm, I'll handle it. I'll go to these sects and challenge them one by one. Perfect sparring partners for my breakthrough..." the Young Miss said after hearing this.
"I'm going too." Nangong Suxin said.
"You don't need to go. They only have a few Emperor Level experts, not enough for me to fight. I'm still thinking about breaking through," the Young Miss had a bit of a taste for keeping all the action to herself.
"Nice try. How can you hog such fun all to yourself? I'm going." Nangong Suxin glared at the Young Miss.
"Don't be hasty, you two. Let me investigate information about these sects first. Know yourself and your enemy, and you'll never be defeated." Third Miss Nangong said.
"You handle the planning, we'll handle the fighting." the Young Miss said very decisively.
"Cultivate. There might be a fierce battle ahead." Nangong Suxin said, quickly entering a cultivation state. Before every battle, she would make the most complete preparations.
"Mm, order the three armies to stand by. Not only do we destroy their leaders, we won't spare the small fry either." the Young Miss's thinking was almost identical to Hei Xue's. She wanted to eliminate any threat, no matter how small.
However, this time she was destined to be unable to fulfill her wish. This battle couldn't be fought because the opponents were already gone, and the three armies standing by would probably wait for nothing. But this wouldn't cause the three armies to speculate, since such things often happened for training purposes and such.
The Great Tang's intelligence system was quite comprehensive and fast. Third Miss Nangong quickly received a reply from the intelligence agency with a stack of materials. This stack of materials was actually useless, she didn't need to read much. Seeing the news that these sects had all been destroyed was enough.
"What? They've already been destroyed? Who did this?" the Young Miss was very surprised and also disappointed, as this meant she had nothing to fight.
"The materials show it was done by the Dominating Blade Sect's forces, but the Dominating Blade Sect denies this. Currently, the Dominating Blade Sect and Ten Thousand Swords Sect are locked in conflict. Originally, the Azure Dragon Society and others were part of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect faction, and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and Dominating Blade Sect were never on good terms. At the previous Martial Arts Assembly, the Dominating Blade Sect was opposed to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect."
Third Miss Nangong continued, "At the Martial Arts Assembly, the Dominating Blade Sect had used Xiaoyao's incident to attack the Azure Dragon Society and other sects, creating quite a few grudges. So the possibility of them acting this time is very high."
"Whether it's high or not doesn't concern me. What should I do now? Oh right, has His Majesty replied about the transfer orders?" the Young Miss cast the Azure Dragon Society matter aside and focused on the transfer orders. For her, the Azure Dragon Society matter was already in the past and not worth dwelling on.
"Not yet. I'm wondering, does Guxing know about this?" Third Miss Nangong shook her head, then voiced a question that had been on her mind.
"Seventh Sister? She definitely doesn't know, otherwise she wouldn't still be at First Academy Under Heaven," the Young Miss shook her head.
"Given Xiaoyao's personality, even if it were a big matter, he wouldn't trouble Guxing. Moreover, he might not even consider this a big deal, perhaps it's not worth mentioning at all," Nangong Suxin said.
"Maybe it's not that it's not worth mentioning. Maybe he did mention it, just as a small matter, and Guxing also thought it was unimportant, so that's why it's ," Third Miss Nangong said.
"That's also possible." the Young Miss and her companion nodded in agreement.
Since there was nothing to do, they lifted the three armies' standby order, and the three began doing their respective tasks. The Young Miss and Nangong Suxin continued cultivating as usual, while Third Miss Nangong handled military affairs. She dealt with all the paperwork.
The Young Miss and Nangong Suxin were truly blessed to have such a helper, otherwise they would have big headaches about how to handle these matters.
At the same time, Third Miss Nangong naturally gained high military merit. Although her status wasn't as high as the Young Miss and her companion, her military rank and authority weren't much smaller. It could be said she was the one who truly controlled the entire southern military corps of the Great Tang Empire.
In the evening, when the three were preparing to eat, an order arrived from the Great Tang Emperor, a reply to their request for transfer orders.
"Ah, what? Send us to the Heavenly Wind Kingdom?" the Young Miss said with some surprise upon seeing the order.
This order didn't write much, just telling them to temporarily go to the Heavenly Wind Kingdom to have fun for a while, and return when they'd had enough.
"I think His Majesty's meaning is to give us a temporary vacation, to return to the Heavenly Wind Kingdom in glory and show off." Third Miss Nangong said.
"It seems we've done too much, and His Majesty is afraid we'll get bored and do something troublesome," Nangong Suxin said helplessly while looking at the Young Miss.
"What do you mean by looking at me like that." the Young Miss said unhappily. Don't you have a share in this too?
"So what now? Are we returning to the Heavenly Wind Kingdom?" Third Miss Nangong asked.
"Of course. I'm going back to show off. This time I'll be the little tyrant of Qingyun City. Let's see who dares to cross me." the Young Miss said proudly with a hint of arrogance. Her goal had never changed, to become the top bully of Qingyun City.
Almost everyone who knew her was aware of this, and Nangong Suxin naturally knew too. She said, "Forget about Qingyun City, you could become the little tyrant of the entire Heavenly Wind Kingdom now. No one would dare provoke you."
