During the month I spent at the Palace of Literature.

Su An kept going between the school, residence, spirit formation hall and scripture library every day.

During this period, after trading for Shennong soil, he successfully refined the Yin-Yang spiritual body.

Yang Ling is in the Guanwenxue Palace, showing his true identity to others.

The Yin spirit body hides in a large mansion in the market town outside the Guanwenxue Palace. In order to prevent others from discovering the secret of the Yin-Yang spirit body, the Yin spirit body wears a mask to cover its face and tries to minimize interactions with outsiders.

Yang Lingshen studied magic in the academy, meditated every day, nourished his spirit and spiritual consciousness, and improved his magic skills.

The Yin spirit body is in the mansion in the market town, where he tempers his body, practices martial arts, breathes in spiritual energy, strengthens his qi foundation, and improves his martial arts skills every day.

One skill and one martial art.

Su An would go to the mansion regularly to provide his own spirit body with elixirs and natural treasures for practicing martial arts.

Because Su An's Yin-Yang Spirit Body Technique was inherited from the jade slip of the first generation sword master, his understanding of this secret art is at the deepest level.

He can control the yin and yang spiritual bodies at the same time, and the results of cultivation in the two bodies can be shared.

Therefore, Su An's cultivation speed more than doubled.

After a month of hard work.

Su An's magic cultivation level was promoted to the middle stage of the second level Naling Realm, and his martial arts cultivation level also reached the middle stage of the second level Qi Training Realm. The mana and qi in his body were much more abundant.

At the same time, the strength of his physical body, soul, and spiritual awareness also increased to a certain extent.

But what disappointed Su An was that his sword intent did not grow. He was still limited by his realm and could hardly display even a fraction of the sword intent he had in his previous life.

At the first level, Su An's sword power could only achieve simple sword control.

After being promoted to the second realm, Su An's sword power not only enables him to control the sword more smoothly, but also can be several meters away from the body to intimidate the enemy.

However, the training during this period did not improve his swordsmanship.

It seems that the next breakthrough in sword intent will have to wait until the third realm.

A month ago, Su An, who had just entered the second realm of magic and martial arts, had sword intent and sword skills, but was limited by the thin magic power and Qi in his body. He could only rely on the restraining effect of the Thunder Sword on Yin objects to defeat some Yin objects in the early third realm.

In a head-on battle, it is difficult to defeat a monk of the third realm.

And now, his skills in magic and martial arts have improved to the middle stage of the second realm, so it is no problem for him to deal with a cultivator like Chen Hong who is in the early stage of the third realm.

During the time he spent at the Palace of Literature, Su An occasionally ran into Sima Yue.

If we say that Wang Shishi used to just sleep in class, often be late and miss morning classes.

In the past, whether Sima Yue went to school or not depended on her mood, and skipping classes and leaving early was the norm. Because of Su An, the teachers turned a blind eye to her.

According to Wang Shishi, Sima Yue has become much more studious since she divorced him. She has never missed classes at school and often goes to the Sutra Library to read in the afternoon.

When Su An and Wang Shishi went to the Sutra Repository, they would run into her from time to time.

Every time the other party saw Su An, he had an expression as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

But Wang Shishi was very wary of her. Every time Sima Yue wanted to get close to her, Wang Shishi would stand up and not allow her to get close to Su An.

At the same time, during this period, the news that Su An and Zhou Qingyu were going to get engaged gradually spread in the capital.

This piece of news undoubtedly attracted the attention of many forces in the capital, both inside and outside the government.

Whether it is the Shenwei Marquis Mansion or the Zhou Mansion, they are both top-notch wealthy families in the capital.

The marriage of the two, a powerful combination, will undoubtedly take their influence to a higher level.

As for who will be most affected by this news, it is naturally the princes who have long coveted that position.

There have always been rumors that the Emperor of Jin, who was in his prime, had been hit by a vicious secret technique of the Shadow Sima Ming several years ago during a fight with the Sima Ming, and had suffered a serious hidden illness, and his life would not last long.

The originally well-behaved princes began to fight openly and secretly for the throne.

Among them, if we were to say which princes are most likely to ascend the throne, they would naturally be the crown prince and the second prince.

The Crown Prince and the Second Prince had previously considered marrying Su Wan and winning over the Marquis of Shenwei's Mansion.

However, Su An did not want to get involved in the fight for the throne, nor did he want to marry Su Wan into the cold imperial palace, so he rejected them.

After being rejected, the two stopped their relationship for a while.

After all, as they are from noble families, they also have their own pride. If they are rejected, they will not immediately beg others with a flattering face.

But after the marriage between the Shenwei Marquis Mansion and the Zhou Mansion, it means that if they win over either side, the other side can also become their own.

The two of them felt that being rejected by Su An once was not a big deal.

If I could get the support of these two companies, wouldn't that position be within easy reach?

Therefore, the two princes also planned a new round of plans to win over the Shenwei Marquisate.

During this period, Zhou Qingyu and Su An deliberately reduced the number of times they met, just as they had agreed.

Su An went to see Zhou Qingyu twice. The first time, Zhou Qingyu was not in the Evil Suppression Division, and the second time, he met him briefly, reminded him not to forget their previous agreement, and then left.

It can be seen that Zhou Qingyu is indeed very busy in the Evil Suppression Bureau.

Therefore, the students of the Palace of Literature discovered something very strange. They did not see Su An and Zhou Qingyu, the rumored engaged couple, together. Instead, Su An and the daughter of the General of Cavalry were seen together all day long.

…………

"Qingyu, you must give me an explanation for this matter."

A woman in a white dress who looked somewhat similar to Zhou Qingyu, but more mature and charming, came to the Evil Suppression Division.

She looked at Zhou Qingyu with a serious face.

"Your second uncle told me that Su An stayed with Wang Shishi every day and didn't come to see you. Did you have a conflict?"

This matter seemed very serious to her. The marriage was a decision made by Grand Secretary Zhou and Lord Zhou after much consideration, and it concerned the future of the Zhou family.

With their engagement approaching, she didn't want to see any emotional conflicts between Su An and her daughter.

"Mom, there is no conflict between Su An and me."

Zhou Qingyu told Si Xue the reasons why she and Su An did this.

"You are just kidding!"

After knowing the truth, Si Xue, who usually has a good temper, was rarely angry with her daughter.

"Your father and I were against you dropping out of the academy, but you were determined to come to the Evil Suppression Division, so we finally decided to respect your decision."

"But we have found you a husband that you and we are satisfied with, yet you are still so willful."

"You and Xiao An are going to get engaged soon. The most important thing for you now is to stay with him and cultivate your relationship with him, instead of keeping a distance from him at this time."

"Not to mention letting him and Shishi pretend to be lovers for a while."

A look of anger emerged on Si Xue's dignified and beautiful face.

Zhou Qingyu hurried behind his mother and gently stroked her back.

"Mom, calm down..."

Looking at her daughter who had a blank understanding of love, Si Xue finally sighed helplessly.

"Qingyu, do you think your relationship is strong? Actually, in my opinion, Xiaoan doesn't like you that much. He is just relatively satisfied with you..."

"In his opinion, you are a very suitable candidate to be his future Crown Prince's consort, but you are not his only choice."

"Mom, Su An and I have a very good relationship. You don't understand us."

Zhou Qingyu said softly, she didn't agree with Si Xue's words.

In fact, during this month, she often missed Su An, but every time she wanted to go to Guanwenxue Palace to see him, she would remind herself over and over again.

Now he is with Shishi, which is a compensation for Shishi.

He and Wang Shishi were a couple at the Palace of Literature.

Perhaps when she was tracking down the evil cultivator, Wang Shishi was holding Su An's hand and affectionately calling him "Brother Su An".

Perhaps when they left the Sutra Library and returned to their residence at night, Wang Shishi would use the excuse of being afraid of the dark and take the opportunity to hug Su An and refuse to let go.

Maybe they will really hug and kiss each other like lovers.

Whenever Zhou Qingyu thought of this, he couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

But her guilt for stealing her best sister's lover would disappear a lot.

"The long-term separation between husband and wife will cause their feelings to grow distant, not to mention that you and Xiao An are not even engaged yet."

"And Qingyu, you have to know that it is our Zhou Mansion that wants to marry the Shenwei Marquis Mansion, not that they want to marry us."

"You let Xiao An and Shi Shi stay together. If one day he really develops feelings for Shi Shi as intense as Sima Yue does, given how much General Su dotes on him, this marriage will probably be in turmoil again."

"Mom knows that you have always felt guilty towards Shishi, but you shouldn't have deceived her in this way."

"Sometimes, although the truth is cruel, what is more hurtful than the truth is the exposed lie."
