### Chapter 0060: The Princess's Invitation

Qin Yun had a good night's sleep and upon waking up, he found a note on the table in the hall. It was left by Yang Shiyue, stating that she had gone to the Hidden Dragon Martial Arena.

After reading the note, his fighting spirit surged, and he firmly declared, "It's time to break into the top ten. I must do everything possible to secure first place; only then can I obtain the Mystic Heart Grass and quickly cultivate my Heart Sutra!"

"My teacher cannot protect me forever, and she must be dealing with something important. She might leave soon."

Qin Yun could tell that since Yang Shiyue returned from the Heavenly Profound Martial Academy, she had been carrying a heavy burden, though she tried her best to hide it.

He hurried to the Hidden Dragon Martial Arena and immediately issued a challenge upon arrival.

In recent days, he had remained inactive, which was quite intriguing. Now, the warrior known as "Dragon Slayer" had finally challenged again, and news of this spread quickly!

Qin Yun stood below one of the competition platforms, waiting for his opponent to arrive.

Everyone watched from a distance, none daring to approach, seemingly intimidated by the intense fighting spirit emanating from him.

At this moment, Old Wolf, whom he had defeated previously, walked over.

"Sir, this is an invitation from my young master!" Old Wolf handed Qin Yun a letter, his demeanor extremely respectful.

Qin Yun was surprised and puzzled. This formidable Old Wolf actually had a master.

After opening the letter, he saw several lines of elegant handwriting...

The main content stated that due to his outstanding abilities, they hoped to hire him as a bodyguard and enforcer, offering generous compensation.

The letter was written by Xiao Yuemei!

He glanced at Old Wolf and said in a hoarse voice, "I appreciate your young master's intentions!"

Xiao Yuemei, despite her young age, was already at the Sixth Level of Martial Body and was actively recruiting talents to expand her influence. Many were willing to follow her, yet Qin Yun refused.

This slightly surprised Old Wolf, who said, "Please consider it carefully; such an opportunity is rare!"

Qin Yun merely nodded without saying more.

Not long after Old Wolf left, a handsome young man in white approached, exuding a chilling arrogance.

It was none other than the Second Prince of Tian Qin, Qin Feng!

Qin Yun recognized Qin Feng at once.

"Why didn't you accept her offer after reading the letter? Accept it now!" Qin Feng arrived, his voice filled with anger, releasing a faint aura of killing intent.

"What are you? Why should I accept such a foolish offer?" Qin Yun showed no fear, speaking in a low, hoarse tone.

Qin Feng, accustomed to being above others, even those of similar status dared not treat him with such disrespect.

He instantly flew into a rage, raising one hand to strike at Qin Yun's mask.

Qin Yun's hand shot up like a wolf's bite, grabbing Qin Feng's wrist, and quickly channeled a powerful flame inner strength!

Qin Feng was startled, not expecting the opponent's inner strength to be so intense. He felt a searing heat penetrating his wrist. Just as he was about to retaliate...

"Stop!" An elder's voice, full of authority, suddenly interrupted, separating them.

"He started it!" Qin Yun calmly stated in a deep voice.

The elder's voice was icy as he looked at Qin Feng and coldly said, "Qin Feng violated the rules and will be demoted from third to fourth place."

Qin Feng was furious but dared not argue. His wrist was smoking, the spot where Qin Yun had grabbed him, now red and blistered like cooked meat.

Having suffered a significant loss, he gritted his teeth, glared at Qin Yun, and stormed off in anger!

Everyone watching was shocked, never expecting the masked man to dare offend the Second Prince of the Tian Qin Empire openly!

The warrior Qin Yun challenged also arrived, his skills decent but far inferior to Qin Yun, who had trained hard for several days.

With just the Ten Thousand Horses Palm, he defeated the opponent.

"Qin Yun wins, ranked ninety-fifth!"

A Fifth Level Martial Body rising five ranks in one go and doing so effortlessly was beyond the reach of many Sixth Level Martial Bodies!

Now, more people wanted to know his identity.

After winning one match, he continued challenging...

"Qin Yun wins... ranked ninetieth!"

"Qin Yun, ranked eighty-fifth!"

Throughout the day, Qin Yun fought seven or eight matches, rising to sixtieth place, a speed that left everyone speechless!

Even late into the night, he continued challenging, seemingly determined to break into the top ten in one go!

...

Qin Feng and his companions watched Qin Yun's ascent from the VIP room, feeling disdainful. In their eyes, anyone outside the top ten was trash, and losing was normal.

"That bastard, I'll make him pay." Qin Feng looked at the scar on his wrist, not only having suffered a loss but also losing face.

"Seeing how composed you usually are, I didn't expect you to lose your cool," Ye Chenlei said with a laugh, clearly amused.

Due to Qin Feng's rule violation, he was demoted to fourth, allowing Ye Chenlei, who was originally fourth, to rise to third without a fight.

Qin Feng snorted, "Who made him refuse Yuemei? Yuemei was also very angry, so I just wanted to teach him a lesson for her."

Qi Xue suddenly said, "I'm going to challenge Qi Meilian. I want to rise to sixth place."

She was currently in seventh place, which was relatively low among the top ten.

The news quickly spread throughout the Hidden Dragon Martial Arena: Seventh-ranked Qi Xue was challenging sixth-ranked Qi Meilian!

After such a long time, there was finally some movement among the young martial artists in the top ten.

This caused the entire Hidden Dragon Martial Arena to suddenly come alive, and it was a battle between two women!

Qin Yun had just won another match and stepped off the stage when he heard the news. He thought to himself, "Qi Xue and Qi Meilian, both from Tian Qi. They probably weren't born of the same mother, so their relationship must not be harmonious."

He kept repeating "Qi Meilian" in his mind, suddenly finding it very familiar.

"Could it be her!"

When Qin Yun was a child, he accompanied the emperor on a visit to the Tian Qi Empire. At that time, he was only a few years old, and the person who left the deepest impression on him in the Tian Qi Empire was Qi Meilian.

Mainly because Qi Meilian was very cute and kind, and she was very likable. At that time, Qin Yun happened to be sick, and Qi Meilian was very concerned about him...

He didn't know if she was still the same as in childhood, after all, the world is cold and people's hearts are unpredictable.

The match between Qi Xue and Qi Meilian was about to begin, and both had already arrived at the stage.

Qi Xue wore a bright red outfit; although she was beautiful, she lacked a certain vitality.

In Qin Yun's eyes, her beauty was average. Now he knew that the princess from Tian Qi who had argued with Meng Feiling in the Runes Hall last time was Qi Xue.

Qi Meilian wore a fitted dress in pink and white, appearing elegant and delicate, like a charming and refined girl.

Her face was round, her eyes clear and limpid, and she looked innocent and pure, the kind of little sister one would want to cherish upon seeing her.

"Little Meilian hasn't changed at all!" For some reason, seeing Qi Meilian made Qin Yun very happy.
