The battle at Fuxian Lake came to a rapid conclusion.

From the moment Su Zimo and Qin Zheng arrived there, to when Qin Zheng brazenly made his move and the Snake Demon was executed,

the entire process had only taken a moment.

And it wasn’t until Xu Qingling suddenly woke up and spit out a mouthful of blood thick with poison that her normal breathing was restored.

Only then did the four of them set out again on the road back to Lin Yuan City.

Along the way, there was silence among the group.

Even the usually loquacious eldest senior brother scarcely spoke for once.

Qin Zheng’s spirit was immersed in his Heart Sea, examining the contents of the Merit Scroll, contemplating what to improve next.

Eldest Senior Brother Su Zimo and the two from Fuyu, on the other hand, were still immersed in Qin Zheng’s recent display of power, swiftly and neatly beheading the Snake Monarch.

They likewise felt an intense pressure from the Commander-in-chief’s newly accepted Direct Disciple.

As for Xu Qingling, her face calm, she would sneak glances at Qin Zheng when no one was paying attention.

After waking up, Fuyu immediately filled her in on the full story.

She felt conflicted that she had just shed her status as the junior sister, only to be rescued by her junior brother.

In that case...

She couldn’t manifest her senior sister identity in front of her junior brother any longer!

At that thought, Xu Qingling’s delicate brows furrowed slightly, feeling somewhat frustrated.

"What’s wrong, feeling unwell?"

Fuyu noticed her expression, showing concern as he inquired.

Xu Qingling shook her head peacefully, concealing the slight turmoil within her heart.

That was close, she almost revealed her thoughts.

Fuyu nodded lightly, and then, as if struck by a thought, his gaze swept over Xu Qingling, and then over to Qin Zheng, before he gently smiled and said no more.

The rest of the journey unfolded without incident, and the closer they got to Lin Yuan City, the fewer monsters they encountered, making it safer.

By the time the four of them returned to Lin Yuan City, the sun had already descended, setting the horizon ablaze with fiery red.

"Esteemed ones, the Commander-in-chief is waiting in the martial arts field within the inner courtyard for you all to arrive," said an officer as he respectfully took away their horses and relayed the message upon their arrival at the General’s Compound.

Eldest Senior Brother Su Zimo nodded, leading the way to the inner courtyard, to the field they had visited that morning.

When they arrived, two figures, one tall and one short, were already there.

Qin Zheng keenly noticed that Xiang Qingyu’s energy was much stronger than it had been in the morning.

Apparent recognition of their arrival was visible, and as Qin Zheng’s gaze met that of the person across from him, their looks promptly interlocked in the void between them.

"Junior brother."

Xiang Qingyu nodded slightly, greeting him.

"Second senior brother."

Qin Zheng also nodded, responding in kind.

Their exchange was plain, devoid of additional emotions, as though all grudges had completely dissipated beneath the Flood Dragon Demon Pill.

When Xu Qingling saw the other figure in simple white clothing, she hurried over and lamented, "Senior Sister Sun, I almost didn’t make it back!"

Her snake poison may have been cured, but after battling all night, she was extremely weak, so her face was quite pale.

The misery in her voice was palpable as she spoke.

"Stop talking, eat this pill first."

Instead of letting Xu Qingling continue her self-pity, Sun Zhilan took out a Mutton Fat Jade Vase, tipped out a pill, and placed it in Xu Qingling’s mouth.

As soon as Xu Qingling swallowed the pill, her color visibly returned, her cheeks regaining their healthy rosiness almost at the speed of sight.

Though not fully restored, she looked infinitely better than the pallor that had painted her face before.

"Thank you, senior sister!"

Feeling her body’s recovery, Xu Qingling immediately hugged Sun Zhilan’s hand, cheerfully thanking her.

In this moment, she seemed like a normal little girl, not at all like the fierce warrior who faced the Great Demon at Fuxian Lake.

Following the arrival of Qin Zheng and the others, all six of the Commander-in-chief’s Direct Disciples were now fully assembled.

It wasn’t long before the Commander-in-chief appeared, clad in a pale blue robe.

He seemed to stroll leisurely, yet with each step, he covered an astonishing distance.

In just three or two steps, he arrived in front of them.

This was surely bringing Qinggong to an incredibly refined level!

First, his gaze fell upon Qin Zheng, nodding as he said, "Decisive in killing, clean and brisk, well done!"

Another commendation.

In just a single day, Qin Zheng had been praised twice in a row by the leading figure of the Martial Arts in Qingzhou.

His only choice was to reply respectfully, "Master flatters me."

After that, Wei Wuji’s gaze swept over the six disciples present, and he spoke again, "There’s an emergency report from Yongan County, sighting a Demon of the Saint Realm. We need to investigate it."

At his words, everyone present raised their eyebrows slightly.

"Yongan County... If I remember correctly, Camp Geng is in charge of that area, right?" Fuyu inquired.

Su Zimo nodded, adding, "Indeed, Camp Geng is there. The Green Phoenix Sword Sect that caused trouble before is also located there."

"However, the Great Grandmaster of that Green Phoenix Sword Sect was killed when he went after the Lingming Deer King," Su Zimo mentioned.

"With the region less one Great Grandmaster, their strength has decreased significantly. Which Great Demon has taken an interest, considering Yongan County as its target?"

Su Zimo looked curiously at Commander-in-chief Wei Wuji.

"Indeed, it’s that Lingming Deer King," Sun Zhilan took over the conversation, being well-informed due to her usual stay in the General’s Compound.
