The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1552 - 1549: A Match Made in Heaven!

Chapter 1552: Chapter 1549: A Match Made in Heaven!

Tang Biao made his strategic thoughts very clear from beginning to end.

After hearing it, Lin Bai and Yue Qing looked at each other with contemplation in their eyes.

"To put it plainly, this strategy is all about using a tiger skin as a banner. Having the identity of being the wife of Young Sword Master Dongfang Bai of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect is akin to giving Miss Yue Qing a life-saving talisman. Even if Miss Yue Qing ultimately fails to reclaim the position of Chairman, this life-saving talisman would prevent her from losing her life."

"The only price you both have to pay is this name of husband and wife. Once it’s made public, I believe it will quickly spread across the entire Lingnan Continent, which might have a minor impact on your reputations later on."

"Young Sword Master, Miss Yue Qing, what do you think?"

Tang Biao said with a smile.

"I have no objections. Since I have promised to help Miss Yue Qing, I will not go back on my word. As for the matter of reputation, heh, my reputation has never been very good in the Lingnan Continent." Lin Bai pondered for a moment and slowly spoke, looking at Yue Qing: "It all depends on Miss Yue Qing’s decision now."

"After all, a girl’s reputation is much more important than mine."

As Lin Bai spoke, he had already agreed with Tang Biao’s strategy. Now they just had to wait for Yue Qing’s decision.

Yue Qing was very distressed and pondered with a frown. Eventually, she nodded slowly: "It seems like this is the only way. Since we’re pretending to be husband and wife and using Brother Dongfang’s reputation, I apologize for any offense I may cause in the future, and I hope Brother Dongfang won’t blame me."

Lin Bai smiled slightly: "Does that mean Miss Yue Qing is agreeing?"

Yue Qing said: "Just give me some time, and I’ll definitely be able to persuade the senior members of the Silver Moon Commerce Association. Besides, my father worked hard for over two hundred years on the Silver Moon Commerce Association. Many seniors still feel grateful towards my father. As long as I go back and persuade them earnestly, I believe I have a chance to compete with Yue Zheng."

"Then I will accompany Miss Yue Qing to Haizhen City. If anything unexpected happens, with me by your side, the Silver Moon Commerce Association will be more cautious," Lin Bai said quietly.

Yue Qing nodded solemnly.

"Brother Tang Biao, Brother Lu Ao, Brother Fang Jin, what are your plans next?" Lin Bai curiously looked at the three men, especially Tang Biao. They had already torn their faces with the Silver Moon Commerce Association, so returning to Haizhen City now seemed inappropriate.

"Young Sword Master Dongfang, if you don’t mind, I would like to accompany you to Haizhen City," said Lu Ao with a light chuckle.

"I was going to attend the Divine Weapon Feast in Haizhen City anyway, and now that I’m here, there’s no possibility of going back," said Fang Jin indifferently.

Tang Biao glanced around at the Sword Cultivators and gave a slight smile: "Young Sword Master need not worry about us. We have wandered inside the Linhai Dynasty for a long time and naturally will have other destinations to head to."

Lin Bai said, "Then Brother Lu Ao and Brother Fang Jin will go with us to Haizhen City. Once we get there, we can go our separate ways."

"And as for Brother Tang Biao, when I return to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect one day, I will definitely come to express my gratitude."

"The green mountains will not change, the clear waters will flow forever; we’ll meet again someday."

Lin Bai bowed respectfully to these three hundred Sword Cultivators with a sincere expression. If it hadn’t been for their appearance today, Lin Bai might have had to fight a bloody battle to escape with his life.

Tang Biao said: "Young Sword Master, you’re too polite. Although we cannot go back to Haizhen City, if you encounter any danger or need manpower in Haizhen City, you can reveal your identity as Young Sword Master. At that time, Outer Sect Disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect will surely come to your aid. "

Lin Bai nodded slightly.

Tang Biao and the others bid farewell to Lin Bai, and three hundred Sword Cultivators soared into the sky, leaving Wuji Mountain, their destination unknown. Yet, Lin Bai firmly believed that such loyal and righteous Sword Cultivators would be met again in the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect someday.

Watching Tang Biao and the others leave, Lin Bai looked around the Wuji Mountain Manor in its disorderly state and said lightly, "Let’s go. We’re off to Haizhan City to meet the father and son duo of the Silver Moon Commerce Association!"

Lin Bai and his three companions found Yue Qing’s Spirit Boat in the plaza of Wuji Mountain.

The four boarded the Spirit Boat, with Lu Ao and Fang Jin controlling it as it flew towards Haijian City.

Meanwhile, Lin Bai went to Yue Qing’s room and said in a low voice, "Now that I’ve agreed to help you, shouldn’t you tell me how to use the Survival Sword to draw the poisoned blood out of your body?"

"The poison in your body is getting stronger and I can feel your breath getting weaker and weaker."

A sharp glint flashed in Lin Bai’s eyes as he looked at Yue Qing and spoke calmly.

Yue Qing had a total of fifteen Sword Marks on her body, seven of which had severed her main meridians, and these sword wounds were also filled with intense poison. If not extracted, the wounds could not heal, and the meridians could not be reconnected.

"You just need to let the Survival Sword acknowledge its master, then stimulate Sword Soul, and you will see the poisoned blood drawn out," Yue Qing said indifferently.

Lin Bai looked down at the Survival Sword in his hand. Although the sword was fine, he already possessed the Demonic Sword, and had no need for the Survival Sword. Therefore, he said, "I see you are also a Sword Cultivator, so I will gift the Survival Sword to you."

"After acknowledging your ownership, you can also draw out the poisoned blood."

Lin Bai placed the Survival Sword in front of Yue Qing, stating lightly.

The Survival Sword, ranking 72nd on the Top Martial Spirit Weapon Ranking of the Lingnan Continent, was forged with the Poison Divine Iron ranked seventh on the Divine Iron Ranking. It was exceptionally sharp and was one of the rare treasure swords in the world.

And now Lin Bai was actually giving it directly to Yue Qing.

"Thank you," said Yue Qing, without putting on any airs. Now that she had to return to the Silver Moon Commerce Association, she was more eager to increase her strength. With the Survival Sword in hand, her combat power was sure to surge to a new level.

Yue Qing refined the Survival Sword and then used it to extract the toxins from her body. After the toxins were absorbed by the Survival Sword, her wounds began healing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Lin Bai turned and left Yue Qing’s room, standing on the flap of the Spirit Boat.

In a blink of an eye, three days passed. Today at dawn, if everything went as expected, the Spirit Boat would reach Haizhen City.

Yue Qing came down from the third floor, standing side by side with Lin Bai.

Now, after three days of recuperation, the injuries inside Yue Qing’s body and her wounds had mostly healed. After cleaning herself up, she changed into a set of clean, neat white robes, her eyes clear as autumn waters, her skin as creamy as jade, truly a peerless beauty.

"We are about to arrive at Haizhen City," Yue Qing said, her gaze far off in the distance. She could faintly see the looming silhouette of the vast city on the horizon, her eyes showing joy but also more worry.

Heading to Haizhen City, both Yue Qing and Lin Bai were uncertain, not knowing whether it would bring fortune or disaster.

"Don’t worry, I will help you to the best of my ability," Lin Bai said, picking up on the worry in Yue Qing’s words.

Yue Qing nodded slightly, and with Lin Bai’s assistance, she felt somewhat more confident in her heart.

At this moment, Lu Ao and Fang Jin came out of the cockpit and happened to see Lin Bai and Yue Qing standing side by side on the flap.

"Fang Jin, I have to say, the more I look, the more I think that Dongfang Bai and Miss Yue Qing are quite a good match. Yue Qing is extremely beautiful, but Brother Dongfang is not bad either," Lu Ao said to Fang Jin with a chuckle.

Fang Jin exclaimed, "Isn’t that the truth? One is Heaven-reaching Sword Sect’s Junior Sword Venerate, one of the monstrous geniuses of the Lingnan Continent; the other is the Young Master of the Silver Moon Commerce Association, one of the rare beauties of the Lingnan Continent."

"They are of equal social standing. These two, one could say, are a match made in heaven for the Lingnan Continent."
