The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 40 The Protector Appears

Faced with Yang Xingmi's suggestion, the crowd felt it inappropriate to offend him, but no one dared to take the initiative to agree.

"That's fine then. Let's discuss how to make the dance competition even more exciting."

Seeing that everyone was silent for the time being, Yang Xingmi quickly ended the conversation to avoid further trouble.

At this moment, Qi Yuxuan made a suggestion:

"Since that's the case, we should investigate thoroughly before making any hasty conclusions. If Miss Qiu has truly harmed the martial arts world, there will be public opinion within the martial arts community. If not, we should not let her be wronged."

Yang Xingmi nodded in agreement and decided to immediately organize several highly skilled guards.

He instructed them to investigate the truth thoroughly and restore justice to the martial arts world.

Qi Yuxuan was still uneasy; he wasn't sure if Qiu Ziyue was really as bad as the rumors suggested.

But Qiu Ziyue does have a bad reputation, and he is conflicted and struggling with the fact that so many people are pointing fingers at her.

He really didn't want to believe that Qiu Ziyue was really as they had rumored.

The leaders of the five major sects and five major gangs, seeing that they had said all they needed to say and that further discussion was pointless, all took their leave.

However, they did not give up after they left.

Instead, they returned to the Gathering Hall to discuss how to sabotage Qiu Ziyue's competition.

Although Abbot Shangzhi was somewhat pedantic, he was, after all, an upright person. He disapproved of despicable tricks and did not participate.

Although Qi Mutian, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, was somewhat stubborn, he was also a renowned gentleman in the martial arts world. Seeing that the man's actions were not those of a gentleman, he withdrew.

Strangely, Shui Jiangshan, a former general of the battlefield, also took his leave, unwilling to participate in such petty tricks.

Tie Yiqing of the Iron Stone Faction felt that this scheme to harm people was not worthwhile and was unwilling to participate.

This refers to the person who rigged the dance overtime round.

Only Yue Zhongting, the leader of the Kongtong Sect, Wu Jingyue, the leader of the Kunlun Sect, and Wuqing Shitai of the Emei Sect are among the five major sects.

Also participating in the plot were Huo Lengxiong of the Fire Tongue Faction, Lei Xinzhen of the Thunder Light Faction, and Feng Yunniang of the Wind and Cloud Faction.

The leaders, who were in cahoots, gathered at the Hall of Righteousness.

The afternoon sun illuminated every tense and resolute face.

All their conspiracies will be overheard by a young master, Lu Yuanchangming.

Lu Yuanchangming was deeply impressed after watching Qiu Ziyue's performance.

He felt that he had never seen such wonderful piano playing and dancing in his entire life.

Lu Yuanchangming greatly admired Qiu Ziyue, which fueled his desire to protect her.

He quietly followed the leaders of the five major sects and gangs to the Hall of Righteousness.

Because Lu Yuanchangming was very skilled in martial arts, and his lightness skill was his most proficient ability.

Therefore, none of the leaders noticed his arrival.

Lu Yuanchangming arrived at the Hall of Gathering Righteousness, tiptoeing close to the roof, where he heard deep and serious conversations.

"Qiu Ziyue's influence is growing. If she wins the dance today, she will expand her fame and may pose a threat to the status of our factions in the future."

The leader of the Kongtong Sect, Yue Zhongting, spoke first, his tone revealing an undeniable authority.

Wu Jingyue, the leader of the Kunlun Sect, stroked his long beard, his gaze deep and profound:

“Indeed, her sword dance is not only an art, but also contains profound martial arts secrets. We must take action, but do so without leaving a trace.”

"We must proceed with caution. Qiu Ziyue is not only a master of sword dance, but the Valley of Passion behind her should not be underestimated."

"If we don't take this opportunity to weaken her reputation, she will become a major threat in the future."

Lu Yuan listened intently, his heart filled with shock.

It turns out that these prominent forces in the martial arts world were plotting to ambush Qiu Ziyue during the dance overtime competition.

Feng Yunniang said coldly, "That little girl has a lot of tricks up her sleeve. We need a foolproof plan."

After some discussion, they decided to approach the issue from two angles:

First, by spreading rumors, they undermined Qiu Ziyue's reputation, causing her to suffer enormous psychological pressure.

Secondly, they secretly set up traps to cause unexpected events in the competition, thus causing Qiu Ziyue's performance to fail.

These mechanisms are ingeniously designed to affect Qiu Ziyue's dance moves at crucial moments, while from the outside, everything appears normal.

Just as the conspiracy was deepening, Lu Yuanchangming suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if someone had noticed his presence.

With his extraordinary lightness skill, he silently withdrew from the Hall of Righteousness like a shadow and disappeared into the vast night.

On this day, Lu Yuanchangming not only became a secret witness, but also a willing protector of the flower.

"This matter must be told to Miss Qiu; we cannot allow him to make any mistakes."

Lu Yuan murmured.

Before meeting Qiu Ziyue, he didn't know what love at first sight was, and perhaps he didn't even understand what love at first sight meant.

But when he saw Qiu Ziyue playing the piano and dancing on stage, it felt like a celestial being descending to earth.

It floated into his heart like a feather.

From then on, Qiu Ziyue's image remained firmly in his heart.

Even though he heard that Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan had made a bet, he still fell deeply in love with Qiu Ziyue.

Although Lu Yuanchangming was a master of music, he didn't understand romance very well.

He is a traditional and simple person. He will do his best to fight for what he likes, but it's useless to force what he doesn't like.

Just like when Zhao Wanqing had harassed him before, he refused, then ran away and disappeared, but he didn't regret it.

In Lu Yuanchangming's view, marrying someone you don't love would be a very painful thing, so he would rather wander the world.

Lu Yuanchangming had previously followed Qiu Ziyue.

It is known that Qiu Ziyue not only has an inn in Yangzhou City, but also a secret inn deep in the bamboo forest.

Meanwhile, Qiu Ziyue was resting in a secret spot deep in the bamboo forest.

Lu Yuanchangming quickly found Qiu Ziyue's residence, which was alone in a dense forest.

He gripped a finely carved longbow tightly in his hand, the arrows gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

He was plotting a bold plan in his mind—to use the oldest and most direct method.

He sent a message to Qiu Ziyue, warning her of the impending crisis.

Lu Yuanchangming pulled a thin sheet of paper from his sleeve and began to write rapidly.

Although the handwriting is small, it is vigorous and powerful. The few words contain all the important information about the Gathering Righteousness Hall.

He then carefully rolled up the strip of paper and sealed both ends with a special wax to ensure it wouldn't be blown away by the wind during flight.

With everything ready, he took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, closed his eyes and focused his mind, and the bamboo forest where Qiu Ziyue usually stayed appeared in his mind.

The arrow was on the bowstring, ready to be released; he could almost feel the direction and power of the wind.

The mind follows the arrow, the intention precedes the movement; once the arrow leaves the bow, it soars straight into the sky.

The arrow pierced the tranquil night sky, carrying its mission as it sped toward its destination.

Qiu Ziyue's residence is surrounded by lush bamboo. A gentle breeze rustles the bamboo leaves, adding to the tranquility and elegance of the place.

Did Qiu Ziyue receive the secret letter?
