At this point, the martial arts conference finally came to an end, and the top three contestants were invited to the main stage.

The host loudly announced the result of the competition: "The first place winner of this martial arts competition is Xu Xueting!"

The audience burst into warm applause and cheers.

Then, the host continued: "The second place is - Lu Siniang!"

Another round of thunderous applause broke out.

Finally, the host shouted excitedly: "The third place is - Xiao Ning!"

Cheers and applause rang out from the audience again.

Afterwards, Li Yun personally handed Xu Xueting a large golden cup engraved with the words "First Place in the Martial Arts Conference" and congratulated him.

Then Ling Zhao handed Lu Siniang a large and exquisite silver cup.

Wei Xiaobao walked forward and handed a heavy copper cup to Xiao Ning.

After the award ceremony, the martial arts conference officially came to an end.

The audience stood up and left, leaving behind memories and emotions of this wonderful event.

Lu Siniang walked quickly to Shuang'er, smiled and said to her: "Thank you, Sister-in-law, for lending me the sword. Without it, I would not have been able to get the second place. This sword is so sharp!" After that, Lu Siniang handed the sword in her hand to Shuang'er.

Shuang'er took the sword with both hands and said to Lu Siniang with a smile: "Little Junior Sister, you don't have to be polite. This sword is made according to the size of the Jade Green Sword and is also called the Jade Green Sword. In this case, this sword is a gift from Sister Qi to Little Junior Sister. Please accept it!"

When Lu Siniang heard this, she hurriedly shook her hands and said, "No, no, how can I take such a precious weapon? Sister-in-law, you should keep it for yourself!" Her words were full of amazement.

"Take it. It's not a valuable thing. I'll ask the Ministry of Industry to make another one for you later." Shuang Ji said calmly, as if the sword was just an ordinary object.

"Ah! Can such a magical weapon be made so easily?" Lu Siniang exclaimed again. She really couldn't imagine that such a precious sword could be made so easily.

"Well, the knives in our army can cut iron like mud. Take it." Shuang Ji handed the Biqing sword to Lu Siniang again, with a faint smile in his eyes.

When Lu Siniang heard Shuang'er say this, she couldn't help but feel touched and admired. She knew that the weapons in Shuang'er's hands must have been carefully crafted, and she was so lucky to have received such a precious gift.

So she stopped refusing, took the Biqing sword with both hands and said, "Thank you, Seventh Sister-in-law!" Her voice was full of gratitude.

On the other side, Wei Xiaobao looked at Xu Xueting standing on the stage and asked curiously, "You are the Azure Dragon Envoy, right?"

Xu Xueting asked in confusion: "Are you the White Dragon Envoy?"

Wei Xiaobao smiled and replied: "Yes, I am Wei Xiaobao!"

Wei Xiaobao was surprised again and said: "But we all thought you were dead. I saw with my own eyes that you were slapped to death by Master Hong..."

Xu Xueting's eyes widened as he asked, "Then how come you are still alive? I heard from others that Kangxi had beheaded you?"

Xu Xueting frowned and explained, "Master Hong's palm only knocked me unconscious. When I woke up the next day, I found the bodies of my followers all around me, and Master Hong was also dead. I found the antidote for the Leopard Embryo Yijin Pills on Master Hong's body. I was the only one left alive on the entire Shenlong Island. Later, I left Shenlong Island and have been wandering around for more than a year."

Wei Xiaobao nodded to show his understanding, and then asked with concern: "Oh, so that's how it is. So what are your plans now?"

Xu Xueting sighed and said, "I have nowhere else to go for now, so I can only stay here. But I recently heard that a Heaven and Earth Federation was established here, which seems quite interesting."

Wei Xiaobao suddenly remembered something and said excitedly: "By the way, if you don't have other plans, you can consider joining the Tiandi Federation. I'm working there now. And I have good news to tell you, Su Quan is here too!"

Hearing this news, Xu Xueting jumped up excitedly and said loudly: "Really? The leader's wife is not dead? That's great!"

"What leader's wife? Now she is not the leader's wife, but my first wife." Wei Xiaobao said proudly with his hands on his hips.

"Ah, so it was you who got the first lady pregnant!" Xu Xueting asked in surprise, eyes wide open.

"Hehe, it was just a mistake!" Wei Xiaobao touched his head and said embarrassedly.

At this time, Shuang'er and Lu Siniang also came over.

Lu Siniang said to Wei Xiaobao happily, "Big Brother, Sister Seven gave me her magic weapon, the Jade Sword. I want to thank you, Big Brother. With this magic sword, I will be able to chop off the head of that Emperor Kangxi."

"It's not proper for a girl to fight and kill all day long. This sword is for self-defense. Don't always think about cutting people." Wei Xiaobao criticized with a serious face.

"Yes, Senior Brother is right." Lu Siniang responded obediently.

Wei Xiaobao led everyone out of Changdeokgung and returned to the king's tent outside the west gate. As soon as they entered the tent, they saw Su Quan, He Tishou and Li Sun still comprehending the "Fire Control Technique".

Among the three, Li Cheng made the fastest progress due to his fire spirit root, and has achieved initial results. He can condense the fire spirit energy into a small flame, but he is not yet proficient enough and needs to try many times before he succeeds. In contrast, Su Quan and He Ti Shouze have not yet been able to transform the fire spirit energy into flames.

Seeing how hard they worked, Wei Xiaobao couldn't bear to disturb them. However, the goal of this trip to Gaoli had been achieved, and it was time to say goodbye to Gaoli.

So, he called everyone together to discuss and said, "Tomorrow we will return to Incheon. We will leave one regiment to ensure the subsequent development of the Incheon Industrial Park and the military port, and the rest of us will all set off back to Ryukyu."

The soldiers have been away from Ryukyu for more than half a year and are homesick. Wei Xiaobao is also concerned about the industrial development of Ryukyu and has factories and libraries extracted from the system waiting to be placed. These are the cornerstones of future development.

When everyone heard that they were going back to Ryukyu, joy showed on their faces. After all, they were full of longing and anticipation for their hometown.

However, only Lu Siniang asked gloomily, "Big Brother, when will you go back to Zhongnan Mountain to visit the master?" Her eyes revealed a hint of worry and reluctance.

Wei Xiaobao felt warm at the sight of Lu Siniang's sad face. He gently patted Lu Siniang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Junior Sister, when we return to Ryukyu together and take care of things there, we will immediately return to China to pick up Master."
