Strongest Lady's
Ch. 37-Bad News
Zhang Qinzie stood in front of the palace gate, waiting for the elder brother to bring back some good news.
The servants and guards there had already asked the girl to rest, but Zhang Qinzie refused and said he would wait for her brother to return with Weiruo.
From a distance a group of troops came, Zhang Qinzie recognized the figure who led the army.
However, Zhang Qinzie's smile disappeared instantly upon seeing the unconscious Weiruo.
“Quick call the palace healer!”
“K-Sister, what happened to Miss Ruo?” zhang Qinzie asked worriedly.
“I'll tell you later.”

The day changed, Weiruo received treatment from the palace physician so that his condition recovered quite quickly.
Shema continued to be next to the girl until Weiruo regained consciousness. A moment after Weiruo's awakening let out an irritated breath and immediately sat cross-legged to train his inner energy.
Seeing Weiruo's attitude, Shema just kept quiet and left her alone in the room.
“Nona Shema?”
Shema stopped her steps, turned around and looked at Zhang Qinzie who was already behind her. His gaze scrutinized the girl for a moment before asking what purpose Zhang Qinzie was calling for.
“How is Miss Ruo doing?”
“My master is fine, he is practicing so there is no need to worry too much.”
“Nona Ruo directly practice after waking up?” Zhang Qinzie was surprised by Shema's reply.
“No, I've had enough rest.”
Zhang Qinzie almost jumped up in shock, while Weiruo only smiled faintly.
“I have to go back, say hello to your brother.”
“Back? Why so fast? Sister has prepared a small party to welcome Miss.”
“No need to bother. There are things I have to do so I have to come back soon. Just say hello to your brother.”
“Good.”

The news of Second Prince Zhang Jin's failed rebellion being a hot topic for the past few days, the news spread quite quickly even as it quickly reached Xifeng Empire.
Weiruo spurred his horse to run faster, it had been three days that he had travelled back to the Xifeng Empire.
A few days later Weiruo had arrived in the capital, traveling faster than before as Weiruo reduced his rest time, unlike before where Weiruo stopped mostly in villages or small towns to rest.
The road to the palace was quite crowded and Weiruo chose to get down from Baise. Amidst the crowd passing by, Weiruo heard one thing that was quite disturbing his ears.
“I heard there was an attack in the palace last night.”
“True, reportedly there are some people who were injured.”
Weiruo's steps came to a halt, his heart unsettled after hearing the conversation of the few people who had passed him earlier.
Weiruo hurriedly boarded Baise and drove the horse to the Medicine Hall. Arriving there Weiruo immediately met Yu Shuyan, unfortunately the old man was still in closed training.
Finally Weiruo asked a pill expert girl who had previously met Weiruo.
After a short conversation Weiruo thoughtlessly went straight back to the palace.
The guard at the south gate increased so it was quite difficult for Weiruo to look for a gap to enter secretly.
“What closed training Miss running smoothly?” yinyi asked as soon as Weiruo came to her.
“Yes. What happens before I get out of training? I feel there is foreign energy.”
Yinyi looked doubtful, but after Weiruo convinced the girl, Yinyi finally started telling stories.
Last night there was an attack by a group of foreign warriors. Instead of targeting the royal family, the group is targeting Laohua.
The soldiers in the palace immediately fought against the group upon hearing Xuan Riuyi's screams that just happened to be with Laohua.
The group of warriors had such a high level of martial arts, the soldiers in the palace failed to stop their action that Laohua was captured from Xuan Riuyi.
Da Feng who heard the commotion naturally felt curious so he went to Xuan Riuyi's residence which was quite a distance away from the Black Orchid Pavilion. Knowing there were intruders of course Da Feng did not stay silent and tried to stop the group of intruders before they just ran away.
Fighting one or two people was not a problem for the young man, but the number of enemies reaching dozens with much higher levels of martial arts made the young man difficult. In the end Da Feng failed to hold the intruders and suffered quite severe injuries.
Xuan Riuyi locked himself in his room since the incident last night, the woman felt guilty for failing to look after Laohua.
When Weiruo came Xuan Riuyi did not respond too much, the woman was sitting on her bed, her eyes dappled with her face slightly pale.
“Mother...”.
Weiruo hugged Xuan Riuyi, not saying a word, just hugged the woman and let her cry in her arms.

“Blood Valley?”
Da Feng nodded, then explained in detail about the Blood Valley to Weiruo.
The Blood Valley was better known as an organization than a sect, the Blood Valley moved under the orders of the people who had hired them.Ranging from assassinations, kidnappings, as well as smuggling was widely carried out by the organization.
Da Feng took out a badge that he managed to snatch from one of the intruders last night.
“I was injured for this little thing,” complained Da Feng while holding his shoulder wrapped in bandages.
Weiruo took out a bottle of pills and threw it at the young man, Da Feng only smiled slightly before taking the pills.
“Explain more details about this organization.”
Da Feng began to explain, jobs, to the tenants of the organization's services.
“So they don't want their names to be known badly, yes.” Weiruo played a badge of a valley in dark red.
“That's how the world works,” Da Feng said.
“Recover yourself, we will come to them.”
Da Feng opened his eyes, surprised by Weiruo's words. Blood Valley is not a small organization that is easily defeated, there are hundreds of skilled assassins in the place.
“We will only infiltrate for a while,” Weiruo continued seeing Da Feng's response.
Weiruo left just like that, when night fell the girl began to spend time in the bamboo forest to practice.
The sound of the swing of the sword splitting through the air continued to sound throughout the night, Weiruo continued to train his sword movements nonstop. After training so hard Weiruo would only rest for three hours before resuming his training like a tireless person.
In addition to readying himself for his departure towards the Blood Valley, Weiruo also vented his sense of regret after the fight against Zhang Jin.
Weiruo realized how weak he was now, in the swordsman world he was nothing more than a little baby who had just learned how to walk.
Compared to the vastness of the swordsman world, of course, it was nothing. Other than the martial skills from his first life Weiruo only relied on his bad attitude which was so reckless when doing things.
Weiruo was determined to become stronger, much stronger than the figure of Xuan Weiruo as well as his former self, becoming stronger until no one underestimated him.
