"You’ll know when you go." Liam said with a mysterious smile.

"Alright, then we’ll go and take a look together." Jian Wuji said.

He happened to be going to Qin Xia Ling’s party as well, so he brought Li An along.

"By the way, young master, do you still remember that you said before that you would take me to see a supreme beauty?" Li An suddenly asked.

"Of course I remember." Jian Wuji said with a smile, "I’ll take you to see her right now."

Qin Xia Ling had organized a gathering of young masters, as was customary.

In order to be able to participate in this gathering, those young masters, they all tried their best to achieve excellent results in their respective fields.

Because, only those outstanding young experts were qualified to receive Qin Xiaoling’s invitation.

For those young experts, the biggest benefit of attending this gathering was to be able to meet young experts from other sects and expand their connections.

Moreover, if one could obtain Qin Xia Ling’s favor, it would be an even greater thing to brag about.

Qin Xia Ling is the granddaughter of the Martial Arts Alliance Master, and is also the number one beauty in Hubei, with high martial arts skills and outstanding temperament, she is the goddess in the hearts of countless young masters.

However, it was only when they actually saw Qin Xiaoling that they realized the distance between themselves and her was so far away.

Although Qin Xia Ling treated people gently, she always kept her distance, making it impossible for people to get close.

Especially after the Little Dragon Town incident, she had become even more cautious and harder to approach.

"Miss, you seem a little nervous today."

Qin Xia Ling’s personal guard, Autumn Lake, asked with concern.

"I’m fine."

Qin Xiaoling shook her head and said.

Despite what she said, she was very apprehensive.

She didn’t know if Jian Wuji would come.

She had originally thought that Jian Wuji would not come. After all, he was now the Demon Sect’s Young Master with an honorable status, and it was impossible for him to risk coming to the Martial Arts Alliance’s territory just for the sake of a friend’s invitation.

However, for some reason, she always held a sliver of hope in her heart that Jian Wuji would appear.

"Miss, it’s almost time for you to go out."

Autumn Lake reminded.

"I know."

Qin Xia Ling took a deep breath and adjusted her emotions before walking out of the room.

"Everyone, welcome to the Qin Family Castle."

Qin Xia Ling’s voice, crisp and pleasant, echoed in the hall.

"Miss Qin, long time no see."

"Miss Qin, you’re getting prettier and prettier."

Those young experts, they greeted Qin Xiaoling, their words filled with compliments and currying favor.

Qin Xia Ling just smiled faintly and didn’t say anything more.

"Everyone, recently the Jianghu is not peaceful, the devil sects and evil paths are moving stupidly, we, the younger generation, should be even more united and work together to defend against foreign enemies."

Qin Xiaoling said.

Upon hearing the words "Demon Sect" and "Evil Way", those young experts all revealed a grave expression.

They had all heard that the Demon Sect and the Evil Dao had recently produced two extraordinary figures.

One is the young master of the Demon Sect, Sword Wuji.

The other was the young master of the Evil Dao, Bi Si Yuan.

These two young masters, at a young age, were already famous in the jianghu, and their strength was unfathomable.

"We young people, even though our strength is still weak, we have to do our part to guard the peace of the martial arts."

Qin Xiaoling continued.

"Miss Qin is right, we will definitely work hard!"

Those young masters, they all agreed.

"Okay, everyone, don’t stand, sit down."

Qin Xiaoling said.

Those young experts, then, took their seats.

Qin Xia Ling’s gaze, swept around the hall, but she did not see Jian Wuji’s figure.

"Could it be that he really didn’t come?"

Qin Xia Ling was a little disappointed in her heart.

Just then, she suddenly saw, in the crowd, a familiar figure.

"It’s him!"

Qin Xia Ling’s heart was delighted and she hurriedly walked over.

"Jian Wuji, you’re here!"

Qin Xia Ling said with a smile.

Jian Wuji also saw Qin Xiaoling and nodded with a smile.

"Miss Qin, long time no see."

"What took you so long?" Qin Xiaoling asked.

"Something came up on the way and there was a delay." Jian Wuji said.

"Oh."

Qin Xia Ling nodded and didn’t pursue the matter any further.

"Jian Wuji, let me introduce you, this is my friend, Li An."

Qin Xia Ling pointed at a woman beside her and said.

Li An was dressed in a white dress with a white mask on her face, her figure was tall and her temperament was outstanding, although she couldn’t see her face, but from her delicate figure and elegant demeanor, it was clear that she must be a supreme beauty.

"Hello, Miss Lee."

Jian Wuji smiled faintly at Li An and said.

"Young Master Sword, hello."

Li An also smiled faintly at Jian Wu Ji and said.

Her voice, crisp and pleasant, was like heavenly music.

Qin Xia Ling looked at Jian Wu Ji and Li An, and a sudden sour feeling welled up in her heart.

She didn’t know why, but seeing Jian Wuji and Li An together made her heart feel a little uncomfortable.

"Could it be that I’m falling for him?"

Qin Xiaoling thought darkly in her heart.

The thought terrified her.

She knew that it was impossible for her and Jian Wuji.

He was the young master of the Demon Sect, and she was the granddaughter of the Martial Arts Alliance, and between them, there was an insurmountable chasm.

"Miss Qin, what’s wrong with you?"

Seeing that Qin Xia Ling’s face did not look right, Jian Wuji asked with concern.

"I’m fine."

Qin Xiaoling shook her head and said.

"Jian Wuji, let’s go sit over there."

Qin Xia Ling pointed to a seat in the corner and said.

"Good."

Jian Wuji nodded and followed Qin Xiaoling.

Liam followed them and walked along.

When the three of them sat down in the corner, Qin Xia Ling couldn’t wait to ask, "Jian Wu Ji, what exactly is your business this time?"

"I came, to tell you that I need your help."

Jian Wuji said.

"My help?" Qin Xia Ling looked at Jian Wuji suspiciously.

"That’s right." Jian Wuji nodded, "I need you to help me, to find that black hand behind the scenes."

"Behind the scenes?"

"It’s that person who secretly helped Xu Bai Chong and contacted the Martial Alliance." Jian Wu Ji said, "I suspect that he doesn’t just want to help Xu Bai Chong, he has a bigger plot."

"Jian Wuji, why are you looking for him?" Qin Xia Ling asked.

"Because he poses a threat to my plans." Jian Wuji said, "I must get rid of him!"

"Jian Wuji, what exactly are you …… planning?"

Qin Xia Ling looked at Jian Wuji with fear in her eyes.

She suddenly realized that she seemed to be involved in a huge conspiracy.

And the mastermind behind this conspiracy was none other than the seemingly harmless young master of the Demon Sect in front of him!
