“Bai Jie, the young husband?”

Yu Qing looked at these four words with some confusion, unclear about their meaning.

She was about to continue reading when Fang Zhou already asked her, “Taoist Yu Qing, where is Chaoyang Palace?”

Yu Qing could only put down the newspaper for now and smiled, “Let me take you there; it’s not far from here.”

The two of them then proceeded together. Out of courtesy, Yu Qing took the initiative to carry the heavy items such as the long table and chairs for Fang Zhou, who did not refuse.

Chaoyang Palace is located at the top of a steep cliff on Yujian Peak, facing east, welcoming the morning sun. Each morning, the spiritual energy here becomes richer than in other places, attracting many disciples in the Qi Refining Realm to come here for cultivation.

When Yu Qing brought Fang Zhou here, there were already hundreds of disciples cultivating in front of Chaoyang Palace.

They sat cross-legged on bamboo mats, facing the sunrise, eyes tightly closed, breathing rhythmically, inhaling the air filled with rich spiritual energy, and exhaling the purified waste air.

This scene reminded Fang Zhou of the days when he did morning exercises at school long ago, missing only the familiar athletic march.

Fang Zhou did not disturb those cultivating disciples. Instead, he found an open space nearby, put down the table and chairs, untied the newspaper’s straw rope, and spread it out on the table.

Seeing Fang Zhou arranging his goods earnestly, like a little peddler, Yu Qing also found it quite interesting.

However, she was a True Disciple of the Sword Control lineage; while she could be informal in private, she could not do something inconsistent with her status in front of so many fellow sisters and brothers, so she could only stand by and watch.

The movement here had already attracted the attention of the disciples, who frequently looked over, and some had already started whispering to each other.

Fang Zhou was not concerned about those scrutinizing gazes; his psychological age was not small, and he would not feel shy or intimidated by such things. On the contrary, he hoped that the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect would pay more attention, as that would be better for business.

After spreading out the newspapers evenly, Fang Zhou then sat on the chair and picked up a copy, handing it to Yu Qing standing by.

Yu Qing took it with some puzzlement.

Fang Zhou smiled, “It’s for you. I can give you a copy for free every time in the future. You’ve helped me so much; this is the only thing I can use to repay you. Don’t despise it.”

“Taoist Fang, you’re too polite. We hit it off at first sight; such trivia is not worth mentioning.”

Yu Qing revealed a warm smile, then opened the newspaper. This time, she didn’t see the fiction section on the back, but the news section on the front.

The first thing that caught her eye was four bold letters—Wangyue Daily, with three smaller words ‘First Edition’ next to them.

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.

Further down, there was an astonishing headline.

“Shock, a certain Elder Gao of xXuan Sect caught in bed committing adultery with the Sect Master’s young wife.”

Yu Qing gasped in shock.

She hurriedly said to Fang Zhou, “Taoist Fang, is this true?”

Fang Zhou showed an innocent smile, “Taoist Yu Qing, these are all hearsay, without solid evidence. Just read it for fun; don’t take it to heart.”

Yu Qing looked worried and frowned, “This… doesn’t seem appropriate.”

Fang Zhou still looked very innocent, “What’s inappropriate about it? By bringing these unconfirmed things to light and discussing them together, we can distinguish truth from falsehood. Moreover, our paper hasn’t named anyone specifically. If someone comes out to blame us, they’re just taking it personally—can’t blame the newspaper for that.”

Yu Qing was at a loss for words; you made it so obvious with Xuan Sect, and yet you claim you haven’t named names.

Fang Zhou reminded her, “Take a look at the end of this news item.”

Yu Qing quickly looked at the end, and indeed, there was a disclaimer—This news report comes from an anonymous whistleblower named Ms. Li Ruyu. Any resemblance to actual events or persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental. The news does not represent the stance and viewpoints of this newspaper, and we will not be liable for any infringement.

Yu Qing’s small mouth opened slightly in surprise, “What’s the situation with this Ms. Li Ruyu who refuses to disclose her name?”

Fang Zhou shrugged, “All these news reports come from whistleblowers; our paper is just a platform. Anyone can publish their voice here. We are not liable for the content. If there are any issues, please look for the whistleblower.”

Yu Qing was at a loss for words, having almost no understanding of newspapers, let alone what a news reporter is. Although she instinctively felt something was amiss, she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was inappropriate, let alone how to argue against it.

“Taoist Fang, you still need to proceed with caution.”

That was all Yu Qing could advise, then she continued reading.

The news report was narrated from the perspective of whistleblower Li Ruyu, describing how she inadvertently discovered Elder Gao having a secret affair with the Sect Master’s young wife and how the clueless Sect Master caught them in the act, resulting in the Sect Master, losing her senses, chasing the half-dressed Elder Gao for over a thousand miles.

The whole news story was vivid and lively, full of suspense and climaxes, and very engaging.

After only a moment of reading, Yu Qing was completely enthralled, occasionally gasping in astonishment.

The disciples in front of Chaoyang Palace had finished their morning cultivation but did not leave. Instead, they pointed and whispered at a distance.

This was probably the first time street stalls had appeared in the Heavenly Sword Sect, let alone the entire Cloud Sea Mountains. It was enough to go down in history, naturally arousing the disciples’ curiosity.

However, with True Disciple Yu Qing present, these disciples were unclear about the situation and did not dare to come forward and interrupt for the time being.

Fang Zhou didn’t expect Yu Qing to have this kind of adverse effect, wishing he could kick her away.

Soon enough, however, the standoff was broken as two familiar faces appeared in Fang Zhou’s field of view.

Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei.

This pair of sworn sisters excitedly parted the crowd and ran up to Fang Zhou’s stall.

They first greeted Yu Qing respectfully: “Big Sister!”

Immersed in the gossip, Yu Qing finally snapped back to reality and warmly smiled at them, “No need for formalities.”

Then she quickly returned her attention to the newspaper. She had reached the second news article – Why did a nonagenarian die naked on the street, and why did hundreds of pigs wail in the middle of the night?

The whistleblower was still the unnamed Ms. Li Ruyu.

Seeing that True Disciple Yu Qing did not fault them, Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief. They also had taken quite some courage to come over.

Afterward, they excitedly greeted Fang Zhou.

Chu Yunfei’s greeting was normal, merely saying, “Long time no see, sir, I hope all is well with you.”

Li Yunlong was more brash, “Sir, what you did wasn’t very upright. You used my name that day, causing the deacons to take special note of me, punishing me every day.”

It seemed that after successfully entering the Heavenly Sword Sect, Li Yunlong had finally shown her true colors and stopped pretending to be a naïve girl.

Fang Zhou was quite pleased to see these two amusing characters and asked, “Have you two been selected into Yujian Peak together?”

Chu Yunfei nodded, “Yes, except for Xia Wenqiu and Ji Congfeng, the rest of the new disciples have been chosen by Yujian Peak.”

After Fang Zhou left, it turned out that Xia Wenqiu and Ji Congfeng were considered talented. Although the two couldn’t be split into three, eventually True Master Yu Jian made a concession. Xia Wenqiu was chosen for Xuanjian Peak, and Ji Congfeng was taken away by Lei Jian Peak.

Having secured the talented newcomers, Xuanjian and Lei Jian had no grounds to continue the controversy, and the remaining new disciples were naturally welcomed by Yujian Peak.

Fang Zhou could guess the reason why True Master Yu Jian conceded – she wanted to undercut Ling Xiaoyue.

Li Yunlong, who was beside, picked up a newspaper from the table, curious, “Sir, are you running a small stall here? What are you selling?”
