My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 343 - 219 Mother-in-law Looks at Her Son-in-law

Sanqing Mountain.

The lush mountain range stretched for a hundred miles, with thousands of peaks vying for beauty, streams rushing through countless ravines, ancient trees thriving, and rare birds nesting.

Yujing Peak, Yuxu Peak, and Yuhua Peak, these three perilous peaks, pierced the clouds, shrouded in mist all year round, looking like a fairyland on earth.

The world-famous Sanqing Sect was perched atop these peaks.

Throughout history, the Sanqing Sect had produced several Martial Saints.

Although the golden age of the Martial Path was no more, the current Sanqing Sect still boasted three Semi-Saints at the Heavenly Heart Realm, thirteen Grandmasters, and over three hundred at the Object Manipulation Realm; with its thousand and more lower-ranked disciples, it was unquestionably the foremost sect in the Daxia martial community.

The Sanqing Sect had three branches: Taiching, Yuqing, and Shangqing, each referred to as Sanqing Sect externally but relatively independent internally.

Yujing Peak, where the Taiching branch was located.

The summoning bell for assembly rang, gathering elders from all branches to Yujing Palace.

The Taiching branch, with six Grandmasters, was the most powerful among the branches.

The Yuqing and Shangqing branches, with four and three Grandmasters respectively, were slightly weaker than the Taiching branch.

The branches operated independently on a daily basis but would convene and discuss together when major events arose.

Today's council was initiated by Junior Sister Su from the Shangqing branch.

She had been away from the sect for some time and had returned with news.

The Da Xia Court wished to hold a martial arts tournament in Chang'an and had invited the Grandmasters and talented disciples of the Sanqing Sect to attend.

This was the first time in history that the court had held a martial arts tournament.

The Sanqing Sect had a long history, existing long before the establishment of the Daxia Dynasty, and had always kept a low profile, rarely engaging with the court.

Since the establishment of the sect, countless secular dynasties had changed, but the Sanqing Sect remained.

Inside Yujing Palace, the elders from various branches took their seats.

An elder from the Taiching branch stroked his long beard and said, "Why would the Da Xia Court suddenly involve itself in martial affairs? Whether we should send someone to attend is the question. What do my fellow brothers and sisters think?"

Beside him, an old woman shook her head and said, "Our sect has no ties with the secular dynasty. Our own martial arts tournament is imminent, and Chang'an is high in mountains and far in distance, more than a thousand miles away. The journey will surely be tiring. It seems unnecessary to me."

Another Female Grandmaster from the Shangqing branch spoke up, "Nowadays, that territory is under others' rule, and it wouldn't be proper to refuse the court's face."

"The secular court has always wanted to control the martial community. Their sudden intervention in martial affairs must have some hidden agenda."

"However, they probably wouldn't dare to stir up conflict with the martial community again..."

...

The opinions were divided regarding the matter brought up by Junior Sister Su.

The final consensus was that each branch could decide for itself whether or not to attend Chang'an.

The Taiching and Yuqing branches showed little interest in the matter and the elders left one after another.

In the end, only three Grandmasters from the Shangqing branch remained in the hall.

Actually, the other two Grandmasters from the Shangqing branch were not very interested either, but they did not want to leave their Junior Sister without support since she seemed intent on going.

Su Qing bit her lip and said as she watched everyone leave, "If they won't go, our Shangqing branch will go by ourselves!"

After they walked out of the great hall, a Female Grandmaster looked at her and said, "Master mentioned that Junior Sister's cultivation has improved again. When we return to Yuhua Peak, let's spar..."

Su Qing waved her hand and said, "There's no time this time, I have to leave right away. Let's talk about it the next time you visit Chang'an."

The Female Grandmaster paused, slightly stunned. Junior Sister had just come back, and she was leaving again before even an hour had passed; could there be some urgent matter?

In the moment of her puzzled thoughts, the Junior Sister had already taken to the skies and disappeared into the vast mists of the mountains.

She shook her head. There hadn't even been enough time for extra words, signifying that her Junior Sister's matter must indeed be urgent...

...

Li Mansion.

Lady Mother-in-law had been away for five days. From the first day of her departure, Song Yiren, like a wild horse uncaged, ceased practicing her swordsmanship and for two consecutive days played outside with Ning'er until dark before returning.

Li Nuo had also not seen Anning for many days.

To avoid any potential scandals, the Imperial Family decreed that once a marriage was arranged, a Princess could not see her Prince Consort until they were formally married.

During this period, the Princess was required to learn post-marriage etiquette from the court´s female officials.

Although Li Nuo missed her, he could only endure it for now.

After all, they could be together every day after marriage, so there was no rush for these one or two months.

Taking advantage of Song Yiren´s absence, Li Nuo was spending a warm moment with his wife, but as he indulged obliviously, a coughing sound suddenly reached his ears.

Song Jiaren left Li Nuo's embrace and hurried into the room.

Li Nuo wiped his lips, looking surprisedly at Lady Mother-in-law.

From Chang'an to the Sanqing Sect was thousands of miles, yet she had returned so quickly.

Su Qing looked at Li Nuo and calmly said, "Including myself, three Grandmasters from the Shangqing branch will come to Chang'an."

Three Grandmasters, aside from the already once captured Lady Mother-in-law, left just two.

As far as Li Nuo was aware, there were more than a dozen Grandmasters in the Sanqing Sect.

Although far from reaching his expectations, Li Nuo still said, "Thank you, Lady Mother-in-law."

Su Qing nodded slightly and said, "We're family, no need for formalities."

Li Nuo was very surprised that she would say such a thing.

Su Qing looked at Li Nuo with some complexity in her heart.

At first, she didn't want to acknowledge this son-in-law at all.

But now, she found herself increasingly fond of him.

Though he did outrageously report her to the authorities to capture her, it was all to avoid being separated from Jiaren.

If her husband had been willing to do as much for her back in the day, she surely wouldn't have wanted to leave.

Seeing Jiaren marry such a man, she didn't have anything to worry about on her behalf.

She looked at Li Nuo and said, "I went back to the sect and asked my Master for help. If you two wish to have children, let Jiaren stay at the Sanqing Sect for a while. My Master will dispel the cold Yin energy from her body. It may take as short as three months or as long as half a year. The influence of the Yuqing True Qi will be completely removed. As long as she stops practicing martial arts afterward and no new True Qi generates in her meridians, she will be able to have children just like any normal woman..."

Having said that, she went into the room and also said some things to Jiaren.

Li Nuo pondered deeply.

Yuqing True Qi was extremely Yin and cold, and even if the Sixth Realm could regulate her body, she wouldn't be able to practice martial arts in the future, and her cultivation would remain forever at the Fourth Realm.

This was not the outcome he wished to see.

To increase his wife's cultivation as soon as possible, the Martial Arts Tournament also needed to be held sooner rather than later.

He left home and came to Ningxin Garden.

These days, several Grandmasters had been residing here, and when Li Nuo came by this time, everyone mentioned their impending departure.

Xu Jing clasped his fists at him and said, "We've troubled you these past days, and I'm grateful for your hospitality and guidance. You are always welcome to visit Heavenly Mountain Sect..."

The Grandmaster from Hua Mountain Sect also clasped his fists and said, "Hua Mountain Sect is not far from Chang'an; you can come and visit anytime."

"Heavenly Mountain Sect will always welcome you."

"We've troubled you during this time. If you come to Tong State, be sure to visit Heng Mountain Sect."

"I don't know if you'll ever visit Chu Country, but if you pass by Hidden Sword Manor, you must allow me to show my hospitality."

...

During their time in Chang'an, the Grandmasters learned a great deal.

Perhaps only twenty percent of that came from their exchanges with each other.

The remaining eighty percent was thanks to Li Nuo's guidance.

At his young age, he was even more familiar with the swordsmanship of various sects than they were, often clearing away the fog when they were puzzled.

Martial Artists greatly valued the favor of enlightenment.

Whether they would visit again depended on future opportunities, but right now, Li Nuo indeed needed their help.

Without hurry, he first said, "You haven't troubled me at all. It's my honor to meet all of you seniors. Please, before you go, let me host a banquet in your honor."

They'd stayed for so long, so of course, they didn't mind staying a little longer for a feast.

The banquet was lively amid the clinking of cups and laughter.

After they had their fill of food and drink, Li Nuo timely passed several invitations to them.

Xu Jing, taking one, said with surprise, "What's this...?"

The several Grandmasters opened the invitations and exclaimed, "The court is holding a Martial Arts Tournament?"

This was quite unusual; the Martial Arts Tournament was traditionally organized by major sects in Jianghu, and those from the Martial Arts Sects generally preferred to have little to do with the government.

Because not everyone in the government was like the junior Li Nuo.

Li Nuo nodded and said, "The court plans to strengthen its ties with the martial community, so they've assigned this task to the Ministry of Rites. This Martial Arts Tournament happens to be under my charge. At that time, we'll need more Grandmasters to give it some weight. I don't know any other people in the martial community, so I have to boldly ask for assistance from you seniors..."

Xu Jing waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, my friend. Even if the Sect Leader doesn't come, I will certainly be there to support you."

The Grandmaster from Hua Mountain Sect also said, "Hua Mountain is not far from Chang'an. If you need anything, just send a message..."

The Grandmaster from Mount Heng Sect said, "I can decide for Mount Heng Sect. Don't worry, I will surely bring more people with me at that time."

"I will certainly come."

"I'll contact some friends to come and support you."

...

The Grandmasters from Song Mountain Sect, Mount Heng Sect, and Tai Mountain Sect also spoke up one after the other.

They still didn't quite grasp his intention; for this Martial Path conference, Li Nuo hoped the Grandmasters of each sect would come, and they could bring along the core powerhouses and young geniuses of their sects...

Li Nuo added, "Oh, and for this Martial Path conference, several Grandmasters from Sanqing Sect, as well as their talented disciples, will also attend..."

Hearing this, the Grandmasters were taken aback.

What?

Sanqing Sect was coming too?

If even Sanqing Sect took this Martial Path conference so seriously, their own sects had to treat it with equal importance.

As the premier sect of the Daxia Dynasty, Sanqing Sect was sending many representatives. If their sects only sent a few insignificant disciples, it would not only be disrespectful to the Da Xia Court but also to the Sanqing Sect.

Hearing this news, the expressions of the several Grandmasters became much more serious.

Xu Jing secured the invitation close to him and said, "Don't worry, my friend. I will personally deliver this invitation to our Master..."
