Zhao Changhe shot and killed Fa Yuan with one arrow, and Yue Hongling did not idle either. She quickly recovered and flashed her sword, beheading all the other monks present.

Zhao Changhe looked up at the sky and Chaos Chronicles did not disappear.

He scratched his head after killing a opponent at the ninth level without any reaction. He immediately understood.

The Qianlong List is an assessment of martial arts potential, not a record of achievements. Killing an unprepared enemy with a long-range sneak attack has nothing to do with potential... Potential to seize opportunities? The ranking of 88 should also have shown this, and it should not cause any changes in the assessment.

Yue Hongling bent down and glanced at the woman on the ground who was still groaning and rolling. Her expression was very ugly.

Sure enough, their dantian had been destroyed. These poor women were sent out by some sects to wander the world, and now they had become completely useless, worse than death.

This is what they call "quick recovery" secret technique.

Even so, when they saw Zhao Changhe approaching, they still smiled and approached him for pleasure. Zhao Changhe expressionlessly put them all to sleep with a single touch on their acupoints and put them aside.

"Maitreya Sect..." Yue Hongling gritted her teeth and stabbed her sword into the ground heavily. "I will not rest until I uproot this demonic sect!"

With just one swing of her sword, her shoulder wound started bleeding again. She gritted her teeth and stopped talking.

Zhao Changhe sighed, "Your injury is on your shoulder. It doesn't look like much, but it's actually inconvenient to move. You should rest more. If you have the energy, you might as well dress them in decent clothes and send them away. I can't do this."

Yue Hongling glanced at him and lowered her head again. "Changhe, you are a gentleman."

"No, I wanted to hug you when I was sitting behind you on the horse, and I wanted to do it just now," Zhao Changhe no longer concealed his words. "Actually, I want to do it now."

Yue Hongling was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything. She just silently dressed the unconscious women on the ground.

Zhao Changhe looked at her slender figure and suppressed his thoughts in his heart. He pursed his lips and thought for a long time before walking to the front of the Buddha statue to search for something.

Sure enough, he quickly found a hidden compartment and opened it to find a list of officials in Yangzhou who believed in the Maitreya Sect, as well as correspondence between Fa Yuan and the sect leader.

Zhao Changhe sighed in relief. He thought that his "spy" mission was perfectly completed here. Tang Wanzhuang probably wouldn't be able to use the Six Harmonies Divine Art to argue with Long Que anymore.

Then he felt that something was missing here... Zhao Changhe tapped his head and turned around to search Fa Yuan's body.

There were a lot of money, medicine, poisoned hidden weapons... and there were also several secret manuals, all of which were superior martial arts of the Maitreya Sect. Among them, one caught his eye: "Extreme Bliss Technique".

Yue Hongling finished dressing the woman and turned her head to see this. She glared at him and said, "You are not allowed to learn this evil technique!"

"Previously, Nianhua Tian Nu said that there are parts of it that involve normal dual cultivation, which should be true. The high-level members of the sect cannot always rely on each other for cultivation... And it also has some benefits for meridians, which is reasonable and important to me. I won't pretend to be a gentleman. Anyway, I, Zhao Changhe, will have a wife in the future. It depends on how the technique is used. There's no need to reject it completely."

Zhao Changhe's face neither blushed nor paled. He directly put the secret manual into his arms and placed it together with the gold foil.

Yue Hongling stared at him for a while. You will have a wife, but why were you looking at me when you said that? At this moment, who are you thinking about?

But the fragrance in the air still lingered, and everyone was still forcibly suppressing their desires, their hearts restless.

Zhao Changhe's behavior just now was really too perfect... At this moment, Yue Hongling couldn't say anything except to pretend to be angry. She wanted to put a high hat on him and hope that he wouldn't do anything inappropriate.

But he didn't respond and said, "I want it now."

His thoughts were almost transparent now. He really wanted it, but he respected her and never wanted to do anything disrespectful.

The atmosphere fell silent for a while, and only the clearly accelerated heartbeats of the two could be heard, thumping in this particularly enchanting environment.

Everything was over.

Should we really say something?

Zhao Changhe's throat moved, looking at her lowered head and slightly raised eyebrows, he took a step forward.

Yue Hongling subconsciously took a step back.

"Hey, what are you doing here?!" Tang Buqi's head popped out from the passage where Fa Yuan came from. "We finally found the secret passage... Huh? Fa Yuan is dead?"

Zhao Changhe turned his head stiffly and slowly, his voice seemed to squeeze out from between his teeth, "I didn't see you attacking the temple. Where did you come from?"

"?" Tang Buqi was puzzled. "I have been fighting on the front line all the time. Just because my strength is a little low, you can't pretend not to see me, right?"

Zhao Changhe gritted his teeth, "Now I not only see you, but also remember you."

"Ha." Yue Hongling suddenly laughed naturally and reached out to wipe the sweat from Zhao Changhe's forehead. She said softly, "Let's talk about it later."

Zhao Changhe turned his head in astonishment, and Yue Hongling smiled slightly with clear eyes and gentle features.

His heart slowly opened up, and he responded softly, "Okay."

With the heads of Fa Yuan and the unconscious women, Zhao Changhe handed them over to the Demon Suppression Division, and then went to find Nianhua Tian Nu.

There was no trace of her in the monk's room.

Yue Hongling was a little surprised. "I was worried that your acupoint technique was not a special skill and could be easily broken, so I specially supplemented it with a finger... But she still broke free. Did you really capture her alone?"

"Hey." Zhao Changhe frowned, "She is only at the fourth level of Xuan Guan, and her combat experience is quite immature. There's nothing special about winning against such an opponent. Maybe she has some special acupoint techniques. I will study the Extreme Bliss Technique later and see."

Yue Hongling touched her chin and pondered, "Fourth level of Xuan Guan, Tian Nu... According to reason, a Tian Nu with such low cultivation shouldn't exist. Either she fell into your hands when she was just starting out, or she has some other tricks up her sleeve."

This was equivalent to saying that Zhao Changhe's cultivation was low, and Old Zhao couldn't save face anymore. He snorted and muttered, "Wait until I study the Maitreya Sect's things. If it can help me reach the fourth level of internal strength, I can try the fifth level of external martial arts."

"So you're saying your internal strength really isn't at the fourth level?" Yue Hongling was increasingly shocked. "With the internal strength of the third level, you can hear sounds earlier than me, and you can suppress the lust poison better than me. Your cultivation technique..."

Being able to hear sounds earlier than her was probably due to the dual amplification of his internal strength and the external attachment behind his eyes. He probably couldn't do it with just one of them. As for suppressing the lust poison, that was indeed the impressive part of his internal strength. Without Yue Hongling as a reference, Zhao Changhe hadn't realized how outrageous the Six Harmonies Divine Skill was.

He sighed, "The cultivation technique is very powerful, the best in the world, I've always believed that. But because of my meridian problem, I've never been able to make it my main practice. I don't know how long this damn limitation will bother me."

Both of them thought of the Blissful Method in Zhao Changhe's arms, but neither of them spoke.

Gong Chaoqun flew over, "Young Master Zhao, I saw the heads of the law yuan people you asked them to deliver. Is there anything else?"

Zhao Changhe took out the list of officials and letters from his arms, "I need to go back and rest. The rest is up to the Demon Suppression Bureau."

Gong Chaoqun took the list, overjoyed, "Yangzhou is settled!"

Is it?

Zhao Changhe smiled and didn't say anything, turning around to leave.

He returned to the Xiao Xiang Pavilion, where his clothes, luggage, and Snow Stepping Crow were still there. Now the city was in chaos, searching for Maitreya believers. He hoped no one would take his crow away.

When he arrived at the Xiao Xiang Pavilion, sure enough, most of the people inside had been arrested. What surprised Zhao Changhe was that Ruyan was still there, neither leaving nor being arrested.

Zhao Changhe asked curiously, "You... because you're just a regular believer, you're fine? Since when did the government become so reasonable? If I were to guess maliciously, people like you would be more likely to be arrested, just for fun."

Ruyan said, "The Xiao Xiang Pavilion is run by the Canal Gang, not the Maitreya Church. The young gang leader thought Ruyan was fine, so he protected me."

Zhao Changhe thought for a moment and laughed, "Alright, then why don't you go home? What are you doing here?"

"Ruyan has no home." She sighed softly, "I've been fallen for a long time, and I'm used to it. Let's just keep going like this. If the young master needs it, Ruyan can still serve..."

Suddenly, Yue Hongling's face appeared in front of him.

Ruyan:

Zhao Changhe laughed awkwardly, "I guess you won't be able to open for business tonight, it's all regular guest rooms. Arrange a room for my sister Yue to rest, we'll talk about the rest tomorrow."

PS: I was supposed to code this at noon, but my child suddenly got sick. Please bear with me. I actually ran out of drafts a long time ago...
