3000 Years In The Meditation Phase! - Chapter 38

Chapter 38 Strong Independent Woman

After the Minister of Justice announced the verdict and retreated, everyone in the courtyard immediately whispered.

Zuo Yanfei thought for a moment and also asked Tang Ruowei,

“Ruowei, what do you think?”

“What do you mean?”

Tang Ruowei was puzzled.

“I mean…”

Zuo Yanfei deliberated for a moment and said, “Should we work together this time?”

“Work together?”

“Right.”

Zuo Yanfei nodded and said, “I don’t like to beat around the bush. I’ll be straightforward. Ruowei, you and I are both disciples of the five sects of the Righteous Dao Alliance. Our sects are all one of the top few large sects in the Nine Continents and Ten Lands. A mere third-grade immortal herb like that can be obtained in the storeroom if we make a little contribution in the sect. I’m not interested in the reward of this emperor. After all, you and I both came down the mountain to train this time. In the end, I’m more interested in the murderer of the crown prince. How about it? Shall we work together?”

Tang Ruowei thought for a moment.

Indeed, Zuo Yanfei was from a famous sect. As such, a third-grade immortal herb was nothing to sects like the Green Destiny Sword Sect and the Divine Martial Heavenly Army. In fact, Tang Ruowei had already seen Bai Qiuran use several first-grade immortal herbs when he was studying pill-refinement in his free time.

Moreover, they were both top experts of the Righteous Dao Alliance and were allies. Even if Zuo Yanfei had any ulterior motives, it was impossible for the other party to harm her openly. Coupled with the fact that she was a Foundation Establishment expert from the Divine Martial Heavenly Army, Zuo Yanfei’s strength was definitely guaranteed. Among everyone present, she was indeed the first choice as a teammate.

To Zuo Yanfei, Tang Ruowei was definitely the same. It was the easiest for the two of them to build a relationship and trust each other.

Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Tang Ruowei nodded and said, “Alright, let’s work together then, Sister Zuo.”

“Just call me Yan Fei.”

Hearing Tang Ruowei’s answer, Zuo Yanfei smiled happily and continued, “Then let’s go out first.”

“Aren’t we going to find two more teammates?”

Tang Ruowei followed Zuo Yanfei and asked at the same time.

Zuo Yanfei stopped in her tracks.

She swept her gaze across the people in the patio and said indifferently, “Other than you, I don’t trust them.”

Damn, how domineering.

Tang Ruowei praised in her heart.

The two of them walked out together. Bai Qiuran also appeared behind the two of them silently like a ghost. After arriving outside, Zuo Yanfei found a quiet place and directly discussed the case with Tang Ruowei.

“On the way here, I learned from the streets that the murderer of the Ding Country’s crown prince is definitely a supernatural existence.”

“In order to find the murderer, we need more information now.” Zuo Yanfei said.

At this moment, Tang Ruowei subconsciously turned around and looked at Bai Qiuran

behind her.

“Ruowei, why do you have to turn to look at Junior Brother Bai every time?”

Zuo Yanfei was surprised.

“That’s right, Senior Sister. Sister Zuo Yanfei is talking to you.”

“Why are you looking at me? Be careful not to strain your neck.” Bai Qiuran said

shamelessly.

“Alright… alright.”

“I think we need to take a look at the body of the crown prince.” Tang Ruowei frowned and thought for a moment before suggesting tentatively.

“Good suggestion.”

Zuo Yanfei nodded and praised. “But that’s the crown prince’s corpse.

As a member of the royal family, Tang Ruowei knew how troublesome the royal rules were. “Will the Ding Country Royal Family agree to

this?”

||

“I’ll go directly to the person in charge.”

“If they let us, then great. If not, so be it. We won’t care about this matter then.” Zuo Yanfei said domineeringly.

With that said, Zuo Yanfei indeed walked majestically towards the Ding Country’s

palace. Although she claimed to be only a first-class soldier of the Divine Martial Heavenly Army now, her current bearing already had the aura of a female general who

had experienced hundreds of battles.

Tang Ruowei fell behind and began to whisper to her master, who was pretending to be a

young rookie.

“Sister Zuo’s bearing is really admirable. Are all the disciples of the Divine Martial

Heavenly Army like this?”

“More or less. Among the five sects, the cultivators from their sect are the most like soldiers and the most disciplined.”

Bai Qiuran finally returned to normal and nodded.

“However, Zuo Yanfei’s status is definitely not an ordinary disciple. Her aptitude is similar to yours. Moreover, if she can become

a first-class soldier at the Foundation Establishment realm, it means that her various stats are definitely not low. She should be the focused target of nurturing the

current generation of the Divine Martial Heavenly Army.”

“I’m really curious about what kind of person the sect master of the Divine Martial Heavenly Army is.”

Tang Ruowei said.

“The sect master of their sect is called the Grand Marshal of the military. The other sects usually call him the commander. However, that guy, hmph… I think you’re going to be

disappointed.”

Bai Qiuran smiled.

“They can’t all be funny characters like Sect Master Jue Yunzi, right?”

Tang Ruowei said with cold sweat.

“No, the commander of the Divine Martial Heavenly Army looks like an iron-blooded soldier on the surface. In fact, this training fanatic is too crazy. He’s so crazy that he even has a tendency to torture himself.”

A very unhappy memory seemed to flash across Bai Qiuran’s face. “It’s best if you don’t know the details. It’s for your own good.”

The three of them walked towards the palace. Zuo Yanfei brought the two of them outside the palace very domineeringly. Then, she made her request to the guards guarding outside the palace.

A moment later, two sweating eunuchs walked out and welcomed the three of them into the palace.

The eunuch brought the three of them around the vast palace. After circling for a long time,

he finally brought the three of them to a particularly quiet courtyard.

There was a lot of training equipment and mannequins in the courtyard. In the middle of the courtyard stood a naked, super strong man about 2.5 meters tall. His muscles were like steel and he was holding a huge stone lock in one hand. White steam that was to the naked eye could be seen above

visible his head.

Seeing the eunuch bring the three of them over, the burly man put down the two stone locks and took a towel from a tray carried by a

young eunuch beside him to wipe the sweat

off his body.

“I’m Emperor Qu Peng of Ding Country.” This burly man casually threw the towel to the little eunuch beside him and said in a low voice, “I heard that you want to see my son’s

corpse?” “Yes.”

Zuo Yanfei nodded and admitted without changing her expression.

“Hmm…”

Emperor Qu Peng pondered for a moment before suddenly pouncing towards them.

“Take this!”

Golden true energy surged from his entire body, and his muscles bulged like angry

dragons. Then, the emperor raised his hand and slapped towards Bai Qiuran and the other

two.

Bai Qiuran stood rooted to the ground with an unchanged expression. He even reached out to pick his nose. The corner of Tang Ruowei’s eyes twitched. She raised her palm slightly and placed it down again. Zuo Yanfei took a step forward and shouted softly. She raised her palm to welcome the attack without fear. The two disproportionately sized palms collided, emitting a bang. The golden airflow was wrapped in an extremely cold true essence and spread in all directions. As it shattered the surrounding ground, it also condensed the fragments into ice.

Zuo Yanfei and Emperor Qu Peng each took a few steps back. The former’s expression not change, and the latter’s face turned

did

slightly red before being forcefully

suppressed again.

“Your Majesty is really strong.”

Zuo Yanfei praised.

“As a mortal martial artist, you can actually manage to handle a palm attack from

someone like us.”

“Haha, no, you are the real deal, young lady. You’re not at all inferior to men.”

Emperor Qu Peng laughed very

straightforwardly and said, “A few groups of people came previously and raised the same opinion as you. They were all phonies. They

said that they were Foundation Establishment cultivators that are superior to mortal martial artists and are very powerful. However, I also tested them like this. None of them can actually take my palm attack head-on. Miss,

you’re the first.”

“I was just lucky to have joined a good sect.” Zuo Yanfei said humbly.

The two of them looked at each other and laughed very straightforwardly at the same time, as if they had established a very subtle

friendship through their muscles. “Then, Your Majesty Qu Peng, can you allow us to check the Crown Prince’s corpse?” After laughing, Zuo Yanfei asked.

“Yes, at the very least, your strength is above

mine.”

Emperor Qu Peng thought for a moment and

waved his hand.

“I’ll allow it!”
