"I should have told you, I wanted to see Gong Ziyu."
After receiving Yun Wuyue's signal, Qing Yu first settled Xuanzhen, then sent the Blood Crystal Stones and the essence blood stored in the Xuanyin Sword Energy to the underground palace, before going to et Yun Wuyue.
Then, she was greeted with this sentence.
"I am Gong Ziyu, and Gong Ziyu is ," Qing Yu said indifferently.
There was no need to hide anymore; she had already gained enough strength to present herself before others. From now on, Qing Yu would appear before the eyes of the world.
As for so of the covert operations, whether handled by Hidden Mirror Man or so other aliases, all could be managed.
"You are Gong Ziyu, indeed..." Yun Wuyue was slightly surprised, yet there was a feeling of inevitability in her heart.
This white-haired Daoist didn't seem like soone who would willingly be subordinate to others. With his current strength, either Gong Ziyu had rapidly advanced to Divine Communication in a short ti and was even more powerful than him, or he was Gong Ziyu.
"It seems you had already speculated," Qing Yu said indifferently, "What brings you to seek this ti?"
Yun Wuyue composed herself, her phoenix eyes returning to their usual coldness, and said, "The Master wishes to see you."
'Yin Tianxia, has the ti finally co...'
Long ago, when she suggested that plan to Ye Lingshuang and Yun Wuyue, Qing Yu guessed that the day she would et Yin Tianxia wasn't far off.
Speaking of which, Yin Tianxia was the first Supre she needed to confront.
Shadow King was slightly short of reaching the Supre level, and ng Shanhe had always presented himself as a Haqi Avatar. Although Qing Yu had seen ng Shanhe's Haqi Avatar, she had never had a direct conversation with him.
"Co with to et the Master," said Yun Wuyue.
The two walked within an elegant and naturally serene villa located outside the Divine Capital. This was one of the best sumr villas in the suburbs of the Divine Capital and also one of the main strongholds of the Yin Demon Sect there.
As a Demon Sect, having multiple hideouts was instinctual. Thus, although the Tianyue Square in the Divine Capital had almost beco the private domain of the Yin Demon Sect, they had established many more strongholds in the suburbs and other secret locations.
After navigating several turns through the corridors, Qing Yu and her companion walked into the garden.
In September in the Northern Land, the climate began to cool. Although the flowers and plants in the garden were ticulously cared for, they inevitably bore so signs of withering.
Autumn's solemnity was already evident in this sumr villa.
However, compared to the climate, the stern figure in the garden appeared even more solemn.
"Qing Yu, I have long heard of your na."
Yin Tianxia seed to harbor so good intentions toward Qing Yu. Having heard rumors about Yin Tianxia, Qing Yu had thought she was the kind of female fighter from legends past, but today's eting proved that rumors are just rumors.
Even if, due to her past experiences, Yin Tianxia harbored thoughts of Female Venerate, as a Supre warrior of such Martial Arts proficiency, she wouldn't be so extre as to be irrational.
Like those mindless female fighters who only fought blindly, she could not have beco the head of the Three Demonic Sects alliance, standing equal to the Heavenly Demon Palace and Blood Demon Sect.
"I have seen Yin Sect Master," Qing Yu greeted with a bow.
"Hmm," Yin Tianxia nodded lightly, her stern features retaining a domineering air even as she expressed kindness, "Lingshuang has ntioned your views to . Speak your plan if you seek my support."
"In truth, it is nothing extraordinary, rely to provide won a platform."
Qing Yu said with a light smile, "In past years, the Great Princess of Northern Zhou disguised herself as a man to study at the Mountain River Academy. Although Mountain Master ng discovered the Great Princess's identity, he treated her with equality and did not expose her simply because she was a woman.
My thought is to have the Mountain River Academy establish a new female academy to enroll female students and teach won to beco talented. Northern Zhou Court would also provide opportunities for these female scholars, allowing capable won to assu official roles, even becoming ministers in the future."
"Of course, given the current relationship between the court and the Academy, the Academy might not agree. But the Northern Zhou Court governs Northern Zhou, and establishing a female academy is not an issue at all. In the future, female academies will also be established throughout Northern Zhou, granting all won equal rights."
"Is that all?" Yin Tianxia asked neutrally, her expression revealing neither happiness nor anger.
"Isn't that enough?" Qing Yu countered, "What defines won's rights, if not power? Being able to hold official positions grants won sufficient power and equal footing. What happens next is up to their own efforts. Status is sothing each must fight for themselves."
"Since ancient tis, it has been a supre principle that the capable rise and the diocre fall. I have provided them a platform, which is sufficient. Does Yin Sect Master imply that won cannot compete with n under equal conditions?"
Qing Yu had also carefully studied Yin Tianxia and knew her stance.
This proponent of Female Venerate did not blindly think that won should be above n, but supported the idea that "who says won are inferior to n."
Perhaps in her heart, she even believed that won were capable of surpassing n.
Ultimately, her ideology was based on the notion that won are not lesser than n. Simply granting won privileges might even annoy Yin Tianxia.
Hearing Qing Yu's words, Yin Tianxia's stern eyes slightly quivered, and she said, "It seems you know quite well."
"To seek support, one must appeal to their interests. Does Yin Sect Master think this proposal is sufficient?" Qing Yu asked with a smile.
Though Qing Yu considered himself handso and charismatic, with silver-white hair loved by the people of the Central Plains and a handso face, he knew he wasn't soone who could get by just on his looks.
And in front of this Yin Sect Master, attempting to flaunt his looks might indeed hasten his demise.
Thus, since he had made that suggestion initially, he was confident enough in it. His assurance ca from appealing to Yin Tianxia's interests.
"You are indeed insightful, far better than those who only speak empty words," Yin Tianxia said gravely, "Within three months, I want to see the policies appointed. Otherwise, all your words, however good, are just empty talk."
"Then please await good news from ," Qing Yu said, maintaining his smile.
Three months was indeed tight. Long-standing ideologies were not so easily overturned, and there were many who resisted change.
But for Qing Yu, this was not a problem at all.
In the present Northern Zhou, although Qing Yu had always kept a distance from the court, he could be said to wield significant influence, dominating the overall power. If it weren't for the difficulty of this matter, which required a gradual approach, Qing Yu could have pushed for imdiate changes as early as tomorrow.
"Then I hope you do not disappoint , and do not fail to keep your word. The consequences of deceiving ..."
In an instant, Yin Tianxia's aura burst forth powerfully, and for a mont, the entire villa seed to be enveloped in night, illuminated only by a solitary bright moon.
When light returned to Qing Yu's vision, Yin Tianxia had already disappeared into the vast sky, nowhere to be found.
