Episode 7, Chapter 1: Conspiracy.

Xu Ping was so angry his face contorted, his teeth clenched until his gums ached. Lin Ziyan, hurriedly adjusting her clothes, sat back, furious that this little devil had ruined their precious time together.

"Can't you open the door yourself?!" Xu Ping snapped, giving Lin Ziyan a resentful look. She was now sitting properly, her aroused expression composed, looking completely unaffected—her face changed so quickly.

The door opened cautiously, and Qiao'er stood outside. Playful water droplets clung to her delicate, flowing hair, and she wore a childlike blue dress, looking utterly adorable. Her small face was slightly shy, but her fair and rosy skin after bathing gave her a charming look, appearing incredibly tender. Her unusually quiet and docile demeanor momentarily stunned Xu Ping.

"What is it?" Xu Ping noticed her shifty eyes and secretly gave him a wink, immediately suppressing his anger, though his voice remained unpleasant.

"Nothing, just going out for a bit to say hello." Qiao'er stood at the door, giving the blushing Lin Ziyan a meaningful look, her eyes full of ambiguous teasing. Her gaze swept over the two of them, seemingly wondering, "Why aren't you dressed?" The beautiful mother felt embarrassed by her gaze and lowered her head shyly.

"You..." Xu Ping was about to curse when he immediately stopped. Taking advantage of Lin Ziyan's momentary distraction, Qiao'er secretly tugged at her undergarment. Xu Ping's eyes widened as he saw a black garment beneath the undergarment, immediately realizing the little devil had come dressed in night clothes! Clearly, something unexpected had come up and he needed to go with her, and he immediately understood.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'm off!" Qiao'er smiled slyly, pointed outside the wall, and turned to leave.

"Damn it, you brat!" Xu Ping pretended to be angry and cursed, but he was still quickly thinking. No matter how mischievous Qiao'er was, she wouldn't come looking for him unless it was something important. Could something have gone wrong?

"Mom, Brother Ping. Do you like these dishes?" Cheng Ningxue came in at this moment carrying several plates of light dishes and fruits, and also brought two or three bottles of wine. She probably prepared them specially because she knew Xu Ping could drink a lot!

Cheng Ningxue imitated Zhao Ling's affectionate tone, and a charming blush quickly crept onto her pretty face. She looked at Xu Ping with a mixture of shyness and anticipation.

"This... Xiaoxue! I have something to attend to." Although Xu Ping didn't want to spoil her mood, he still stood up and said apologetically, "I have to go out and take care of something. You guys eat first."

"What?" Cheng Ningxue pouted unhappily and said aggrievedly, "Where's the food and wine I just prepared? What's so busy you're doing! I've just wasted my time."

"Xiaoxue!" Lin Ziyan immediately stopped her, looked at Xu Ping with deep affection, and said seriously, "The Crown Prince is probably busy with important matters. What are you doing making a fuss?"

"I'm not!" Cheng Ningxue lowered her head aggrievedly, her voice trembling, which was very heartbreaking.

"Alright!" Xu Ping waved his hand to stop Lin Ziyan's scolding, stepped forward, and took Cheng Ningxue's small hand, saying softly, "Good girl, I'm going out now! Don't be angry, okay? If you're still angry, I'll pull your skirt up first and give you a good spanking before I leave. Although I'm busy, I still have plenty of time."

Holding her hand so affectionately in front of her mother, the masculine aura emanating from him made Cheng Ningxue momentarily dazed. The man's tone was so gentle it was almost intoxicating, but why was it still so lewd?

Cheng Ningxue blushed, yet didn't know whether to laugh or cry! Out of modesty, she wanted to struggle a little, but she was reluctant to give up the warm feeling in her palm. Just as she hesitated, Xu Ping leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Don't close the door tonight, I'm coming to your place." After saying that, he glared fiercely at her chest, wishing he could devour those two mounds of flesh.

"No..." Cheng Ningxue immediately shook her head in a panic, unable to bear Xu Ping's directness. Seeing her mother's questioning gaze, she immediately became embarrassed and couldn't continue, her face full of girlish shyness.

Xu Ping naturally understood her girlish bashfulness and continued in a low voice, "You'd better wait for me. If I find you've locked the door, I'll break it down myself."

"You..." Cheng Ningxue glared fiercely at Xu Ping, but for some reason, she seemed to like his domineering tone.

Lin Ziyan watched the two of them so close under the lamplight, whispering intimately! One was her own daughter, and the other was the man she loved. Standing together, they looked like a perfect couple, and she was filled with a mix of emotions. Seeing her daughter's flustered yet shy demeanor, she couldn't help but ask, "What were you talking about?"

"Nothing!" Xu Ping released her hand, chuckled, and said, "I'm leaving. You should get some rest too."

"Okay!" Cheng Ningxue hurriedly let go of Xu Ping's hand, her pretty face flushed, and took two steps back, looking at Xu Ping with a complicated yet embarrassed expression.

"You're busy!" Lin Ziyan also stood up, but said to her daughter calmly, "Xiaoxue, why don't you see the young master off?"

"I..." Cheng Ningxue was at a loss for words. "What's wrong?" Lin Ziyan's eyes were filled with doubt, but her heart ached. She knew that Xu Ping would definitely take advantage of the opportunity, yet she wanted to create an opportunity for her daughter to be alone with the man she liked, and she was conflicted.

"Nothing!" Cheng Ningxue had no choice. Although she was flustered, she still forced herself to come forward.

Xu Ping secretly gave Lin Ziyan a look that said, "I'm also quite resentful that we can't do things tonight." Seeing the jealousy on her face, he felt embarrassed and pretended to be disappointed as he turned and walked out. Cheng Ningxue followed behind with her head down, cautiously. They

walked out of the room, across the corridor, and out of their small courtyard. Cheng Ningxue's little head was a blur, her mind completely blank. Her lovely face was always looking at the ground, sometimes her pink eyebrows furrowed slightly in melancholy, sometimes she would glance at the strong back in front of her, and sometimes a faint smile would appear on her lips.

Because he was watching where he was going, Xu Ping turned around as he left the courtyard gate, intending to make a few advances on her, but unexpectedly bumped into her soft body. He took the opportunity to hug her petite yet voluptuous figure, grinning and saying, "Hehe, when did my little Xue become so bold, actually throwing herself into my arms? I like it!"

"No, I didn't mean to..." Cheng Ningxue wanted to scream, but immediately bit her lower lip to stop herself from making a sound. Although her body went weak from Xu Ping's hug, she still struggled modestly, but the man's last words, "I like it," made her dizzy with joy!

"Don't say 'yes' or 'no'!" As Xu Ping spoke, his hands involuntarily slid down, pressing against her shapely buttocks. While the girl's buttocks weren't as full and fleshy as a mature woman's, they were incredibly elastic, offering a very comfortable feel.

"No, no..." Cheng Ningxue panicked instantly, but afraid of attracting attention, she didn't dare shout loudly, only twisting her body, trying to break free from Xu Ping's embrace.

The ignorant girl! Little did she know that her twisting caused her full breasts to sway, her soft body rubbing against Xu Ping, and the unique fragrance of a girl further aroused his animalistic instincts. With such a beautiful woman writhing in his arms, Xu Ping instantly became aroused, inhaling deeply with pleasure, unable to resist lowering his head to kiss her delicate, rosy lips, to taste her soft little mouth.

Cheng Ningxue panicked immediately, instinctively turning her head away to avoid Xu Ping's kiss. Xu Ping didn't mind, giving a lewd smile. Seeing her little ears, already flushed with embarrassment, he couldn't resist kissing them, taking her pearl earring-clad ear into his mouth. The coolness of the pearl contrasted sharply with the heat of her pink flesh.

"Ah..." The sudden stimulation made Cheng Ningxue moan softly, but she immediately shut her mouth shyly, weakly pushing against Xu Ping.

At this moment, her body was so soft that such struggles were completely futile. Xu Ping licked her little ear with his tongue, sometimes gently caressing it, sometimes trying to slip into her tiny ear canal, causing the beauty in his arms to tremble weakly. His large hands also began to move restlessly, pressing against her buttocks. The skillful caresses rendered Cheng Ningxue, this virgin, unable to resist. Under Xu Ping's teasing with both hands and mouth, her body began to tremble, and her breathing became rapid.

Xu Ping slowly released her delicate little ear, kissing her flawless, pink face. His large hands freely pinched her buttocks, feeling their elasticity. Each pinch made her tremble instinctively, and her half-closed eyes began to glaze over.

Although she was lost in Xu Ping's teasing and half-heartedly leaned into his arms, Cheng Ningxue was still a quick-witted girl. In her daze, she suddenly felt a gaze that didn't belong to Xu Ping watching her, and she was immediately startled. Turning her head, she saw a pair of innocent eyes staring intently at her. Startled, she didn't know where the strength came from, and pushed Xu Ping away.

"What's wrong?" came a question that was so innocent it was heartbreaking. Xu Ping was about to kiss her lips when she suddenly pushed him away, tripped over a stone, and fell to the ground with a thud! She had already half-heartedly accepted him, so why was she suddenly so frightened?

Looking up, Xu Ping was so angry his head almost exploded. Right next to him, Qiao'er was blatantly watching the two of them being intimate, and she was even deliberately looking at Cheng Ningxue with that innocent look. What virgin wouldn't be frightened by such a look?

"You, how come you're here!" Although she hadn't fully recovered from the comfortable feeling, and her pretty face was still flushed with passion, Cheng Ningxue felt an instinctive itch when she saw Qiao'er. Qiao'er's cute figure was like a little devil in her eyes. Cheng Ningxue asked in a trembling voice, taking two steps back in fear.

"I've been here the whole time!" Qiao'er smiled slyly, sticking out her little tongue mischievously, and said, "You were just kissing so intently that you didn't see me!"

"Damn it!" Xu Ping stood up, really wanting to pinch her pretty little face hard. She had already interrupted his and his beautiful mother-in-law's good time twice before! This time, she finally got a chance to be intimate with Cheng Ningxue, and she interrupted it again. Eunuchs always cut cleanly with one stroke; they don't torture people slowly with one or two cuts. This girl is too cruel!

But then he thought, Qiao'er interrupted him like this because it was too urgent! He immediately suppressed his anger and turned to Cheng Ningxue, saying, "Xiaoxue, you go back first! I'm going out now."

"Okay!" Cheng Ningxue didn't want to see Qiao'er, so she subconsciously scratched her arm and quickly turned to leave.

Xu Ping immediately said, "Remember to leave the door open for me, don't close it!"

"No way." Cheng Ningxue, mindful of Qiao'er's presence, resolutely refused.

Watching her beautiful back as she hurried away, her lithe body in the darkness was even more adorable and alluring, and the way her full hips swayed as she ran made him even more aroused! Xu Ping leered and shouted, "Damn it, you try not to leave it open! I'll kick your door when I come back in the middle of the night."

Cheng Ningxue didn't say anything, blushing as she ran back!

Once her face and shadow were completely out of sight, Xu Ping turned around, gritting his teeth as he looked at Qiao'er's mischievous smile. He said, word by word, "It'd better be something important, otherwise, I'll strip you naked and hang you from the rafters to whip you!"

Qiao'er lowered her head pitifully, saying, "It really is important! Otherwise, how would I have dared to call you? I saw your hand almost touching her breasts, and I was afraid you'd take too long and waste time. I had to muster up all my courage to stand up!"

"It'd better be something really important!" Xu Ping was so angry he wanted to roll his eyes. You could have just called me before I even made a move, but you only showed up when I was almost tasting those genetically perfect breasts, deliberately trying to leave me in an awkward position, and with so many excuses.

"Master, please change your clothes!" Qiao'er said obediently, magically producing a set of black night clothes.

"Change here?" Xu Ping's eyes widened immediately. Although it was his own backyard, it was still outside, and he wasn't an exhibitionist!

"Or, how about we go behind the tree?" Qiao'er asked innocently. Xu Ping grabbed her collar in anger. Qiao'er was petite, and lifting her was as easy as lifting a kitten. Walking towards the artificial hill, Xu Ping took off his clothes while looking at the little girl's pure and cute yet alluring beauty under the moonlight, and couldn't help but feel lustful. When he was down to his pants, he lazily spread his hands and said, "Come and help me change!"

Qiao'er looked troubled and said cautiously, "I'm clumsy and can't serve you well, or I'll go call Sister Xiaomi."

"Is it important?" Xu Ping immediately sneered, his eyes saying, "Is it urgent? You still have time to go find Xiaomi? Is it urgent? You're interrupting my attempt to pick up a girl? Are you looking for death?"

Qiao'er pouted, looking aggrieved, and obediently stepped forward, looking pitiful and forced! She slowly squatted down and began to undo Xu Ping's belt with her small hands. However, she had never done servant's work before, and the belt, which Xiaomi could easily pull open, took a lot of effort to undo with her seemingly skillful but clumsy movements.

"Phew..." Qiao'er breathed a sigh of relief as soon as she saw the belt was off, looking more exhausted than if she'd been in a fight.

Xu Ping was both amused and exasperated, but he watched as she gripped his underwear with her small, slender hands, her breathing quickening. As his underwear slowly pulled down, his erect penis, hardened by Cheng Ningxue's touch, sprang out. He could clearly feel Qiao'er's breathing quicken even more, and her warm, rapid breaths brushed against his lower body, feeling very comfortable.

"M-Master! Lift your leg," Qiao'er called out timidly. Seeing her usually quick-witted speech now stuttering, Xu Ping couldn't help but chuckle. He had initially wanted to tempt her to give him oral sex, but considering the time it would take, he decided to suppress the urge for the time being.

Seeing how clumsy she was, and knowing it would take her forever to finish putting it on, Xu Ping had no choice but to do it himself. Despite the dark appearance of the clothes, they were surprisingly comfortable; though tight, they were very breathable – definitely high-end stuff!

After putting them on, Qiao'er breathed a huge sigh of relief, but her cute little face immediately turned serious again. With a swift turn, she leaped over the wall! Xu Ping didn't say a word and immediately followed!

The guards at the manor were extremely strict. Xu Ping was startled to see Qiao'er deliberately avoid them by scaling walls and leaping out of the main gate instead of using the front gate, but he immediately followed her cautiously. It was truly strange that she would leave her own home without alerting the guards!

Under the cover of night, they walked through two narrow alleys and soon saw a black carriage parked ahead. The driver was a middle-aged man with vacant eyes. Puzzled, Xu Ping was led into the carriage by Qiao'er!

As soon as they sat down, the wheels began to turn. Xu Ping couldn't help but ask, "Qiao'er, what's all this secrecy about?"

Qiao'er pulled down her mask, cautiously looked outside, and after confirming that only the coachman was there, said earnestly, "Master, we've received some breaking news. Tonight, on West Mountain where the refugees are gathered, someone secretly sent out invitations to a gathering, saying they want to discuss important matters! Our sect's address has always been very secretive, but those people found it easily. The sect leader is very puzzled by this."

"Damn it, what's the big deal?" Xu Ping immediately said with dissatisfaction, "It's just a meeting of you martial arts people, why are you dragging me along?"

"No!" Qiao'er quickly explained, "Think about it, if there really was something going on, why not hold it openly? Why choose the capital, and at night no less? Besides, you know what the Demonic Sect's reputation is like, yet they spoke so politely, even flattering us. How could that not make people suspicious?"

Xu Ping thought about it and agreed. The Demonic Sect's reputation was always one of breaking the law with martial arts, and after killing several minor officials, their notoriety soared. Their radical opposition to the imperial court was well-known in the martial arts world. Since this group had come knocking, it meant they were probably after the Demonic Sect's attitude.

Qiao'er lowered her voice and added, "Sneaking around like this is never a good thing. The Demonic Sect may sound impressive, but it's only been around for a little over ten years. Of course, it can't compare to those major sects that have been around for hundreds of years. In the martial world, it's barely a second-rate sect. We're not good

at martial arts; our greatest strength is intelligence and information. But the fact that these people are even interested in us means they lack intelligence. What big thing could they possibly need such a large intelligence network for?" Xu Ping immediately fell silent. That's right! The Demonic Sect is known for its eccentric behavior, but this isn't a deliberate pretense. It's because they're afraid of provoking those major sects and suffering retaliation. Their "eccentricity" is simply to avoid getting involved in unnecessary martial world conflicts, but this only makes them seem like a mysterious cult, which is undeniably a flawed approach.

"Have you investigated their origins?" Xu Ping asked, pondering. Qiao'er immediately shook her head, a glint of malice flashing in her innocent eyes. She said warily, "But they seem to know quite a bit, even about my master being with you."

"What?" Xu Ping was stunned. Didn't this mean the entire Demonic Sect's secrets were exposed? Seeing Xu Ping's strong reaction, Qiao'er quickly waved her hand and explained, "But it's alright. According to their thinking, the sect leader deliberately sent my master to seduce you. For now, nothing has been exposed!"

"That's good!" Xu Ping immediately breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "By the way, why didn't you just come out through the back door? Why bother avoiding so many guards?"

"Master! Don't you think it's strange?" Qiao'er's eyes darted around before she lowered her voice and said, "Think about it, with my mediocre skills, I managed to sneak out without them noticing. Can't you see something's wrong?"

"What's wrong?" Xu Ping broke out in a cold sweat. That's right! While his household didn't have the same level of skilled guards as the palace, besides Uncle Liu guarding the front, there were several top-tier experts protecting the back courtyard. Although it wasn't a ten-step-per-guard post or a five-step-per-minute sentry post, it was still quite well-defended. For Qiao'er, with her second-rate skills, to be able to come and go so easily meant something was definitely wrong.

Xu Ping immediately felt worried, fearing something might have happened to the women in the household! Qiao'er, being quite astute, saw through Xu Ping's thoughts and immediately lowered her voice, whispering, "Master, don't worry. After all, the Crown Prince's residence is heavily guarded, especially with Uncle Liu overseeing things. These past few days, we've suspected a guard has been bribed, but we haven't acted yet, hoping to catch him later and find out who bribed him. Our method to find out is simple: just observe everyone coming in and out. Now, Master's most skilled top-tier fighters have secretly infiltrated the backyard to protect the ladies."

Xu Ping breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but immediately said unhappily, "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing!"

"You're busy!" Qiao'er muttered aggrievedly, but immediately said seriously, "We should be able to find out by tomorrow. Right now, let's find out who these people are. You can pretend to be someone from our sect later! No matter what, don't reveal your identity."

"Hmm!" Xu Ping nodded seriously, secretly reassuring himself that the manor was heavily guarded and nothing should go wrong. "Is the coachman reliable?" Xu Ping lowered his voice. Qiao'er shook her head, her eyes turning cold, and made a throat-slitting gesture.

The carriage left the capital and traveled along a rugged mountain road for about an hour before finally coming to a stop. After the two got out of the carriage, they were surprised to find that besides their own carriage, there were dozens of other identical carriages of various sizes parked there.

The only road besides the carriages was a set of steps leading up the mountain. Strangely, none of the carriages had a coachman. Just as Xu Ping's face was turning cold, he saw Qiao'er get out of the carriage and secretly throw a cloud of black smoke at the coachman. If it weren't for his excellent eyesight, he wouldn't have noticed her strange little action at all.

"Friends from the Demonic Sect have arrived!" Just as the two were wondering, a masked man in black stepped out from beside the steps. His voice was cheerful. He slowly approached the two and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry to have troubled you with your journey!"

He then looked up and asked suspiciously, "But, is it just the two of you from the Demonic Sect who came?"

"Is there a problem?" Qiao'er stepped forward, her tone clearly displeased. "We're not your subordinates. Do you really need to go to

such lengths for a mere invitation?" "I didn't mean that!" The masked man smiled awkwardly and said, "Gentlemen, we were just being cautious. Guests from afar! This isn't the place to talk. Please, come up the mountain!"

"Hmph!" Qiao'er feigned anger and snorted, then walked up the steps without saying anything more. Xu Ping remained silent, afraid of saying something that might arouse suspicion. However, as he passed the masked man, he noticed the man clearly scrutinizing him. Remembering Qiao'er's earlier arrogant behavior, he immediately understood. He stopped, half-closing his eyes, trying to make them gleam with a sinister light, his domineering behavior and dissatisfaction unmistakable.

The masked man, startled by Xu Ping's eerie aura, quickly cupped his hands and said, "Senior, this junior did not mean to offend you!"

"Hmph..." Xu Ping gave a long snort, then arrogantly turned and walked away. "Ah..." The coachman, who had been silently sitting at the front of the carriage, suddenly screamed "Ah!" after Qiao'er had only taken a few steps. He frantically scratched his head, screaming in agony. A moment later, he convulsed and collapsed to the ground, his eyes bloodshot, his face flushed, rolling around in a pitiful state, seemingly on the verge of death.

"What happened!" The masked man was immediately shocked. He approached and, seeing signs of poisoning, dared not touch him. "It's nothing!" Qiao'er said without turning around as she walked, "I just hate it when men keep staring at me!"

At this moment, the coachman's body stiffened and convulsed a few times, then he groaned in pain, spitting out a mouthful of black blood mist. His eyes rolled back

, and he became still. The masked man's expression shifted constantly. He waved his hand, seemingly unconcerned, and ordered, "Take him aside and bury him!" Several more masked men emerged from the carriage's hiding place. They carefully carried the coachman's body towards the woods! Xu Ping, with his sharp eyes, spotted a large, newly dug pit in the woods. It looked like there were quite a few corpses in the pit; it seemed they had prepared for these coachmen beforehand—truly ruthless!

Calming himself down and sharpening his senses, Xu Ping made sure no one was around before whispering, "Since he's not one of yours, why did he say so much in the car?"

"Don't worry!" Qiao'er's voice was icy yet tinged with smugness. "I secretly poisoned him to deafness when we got in the car! He can't hear anything I say." Xu Ping nodded, saying nothing.

Watching the two figures gradually disappear down the mountain road, the masked men immediately gathered together. A young male voice, seemingly furious, angrily exclaimed, "The Demonic Sect is too arrogant! Not only did they send only two people, but they even poisoned our coachman! They're too outrageous!"

The masked leader paused for a moment, then smiled easily and said, "It's nothing. Those people are refugees anyway! Besides, the Demonic Sect is always like this. Their unreasonable actions only prove they're not a respectable sect, making them even more worthy of our efforts to win them over. These people are going to die sooner or later; dying at their hands is the same!"

"But..." The crowd still felt humiliated and indignant. The masked man coldly observed, "Enough talk, everyone's almost here! Take these carts and burn them."

"Yes!" Although the others were unwilling, they immediately went to do it. A large fire quickly broke out at the foot of the mountain, but because refugees were everywhere gathering around fires for warmth, the flames didn't arouse suspicion.

The two walked up the steps for quite a while. Even Qiao'er, a second-rate expert, couldn't keep up and was panting when they finally saw a very wide open space. The only building in the middle looked like a temple. It was not only dilapidated, but also had bloodstains on the walls that couldn't be wiped clean. It seemed that the people here had also been silenced!

The open space was large, and many men in black were gathered in groups of three or five, while others came alone. Some were muttering to themselves, while others were resting with their eyes closed. They all looked inscrutable and looked at each other suspiciously.

After eavesdropping for a bit, they also seemed puzzled by this inexplicable invitation. Xu Ping roughly estimated that there were about fifty first-rate experts among the two hundred people. It seemed that they were also on guard against being silenced.

The atmosphere didn't change because of the addition of the two people, one big and one small. Everyone remained vigilant. However, it was obvious that they had been waiting for a long time and were getting impatient! From the carriages they had just come from, Xu Ping could tell that some of the people seemed to have been traveling for a long time, covered in mud and looking very disheveled. In other words, the people here could come from all over.

"I'm late because of other matters, please forgive me!" A loud, hoarse laugh, full of vigor, rang out in the darkness; the host had finally arrived. Xu Ping looked closely and saw several figures in black cloaks showing off their lightness skills, leaping through the rustling trees behind the temple. This ostentatious display drew a chorus of discontented snorts from the crowd.

Upon closer inspection, there were four people leaping towards them. As they slowly landed in front of the temple, everyone was stunned speechless. The previously noisy crowd instantly fell silent.

The four figures, their long black robes billowing in the wind, looked down at the crowd. Most astonishingly, they were all suspended in mid-air, without any other support!

Xu Ping's mind went blank. "Stepping into the void"—a legendary realm only a Saint-level expert could achieve. How could four Saint-level experts suddenly appear here? The Heavenly Grade was already enough to make a name for oneself, establish a sect, and become a grandmaster, while the Saint Grade was no longer within the realm of humanity.

Leading the group was a thin, elderly man, also veiled, whose voice suggested he was quite old. He politely cupped his hands in greeting and said with a smile, "Hehe, good evening, everyone!"

"Greetings, Senior!"

"Greetings, Senior!" Martial arts were highly revered by the martial world, and the power of the Heavenly Grade was rarely seen. Now, seeing four Saint Grades appear together, the sheer awe of "stepping into the void" was overwhelming. The crowd immediately became extremely respectful, even obsequious.

"Hehe!" The old man smiled with satisfaction and said, "I am truly sorry for troubling you all with your long journey! I apologize to you all!" He then made a gesture to bow.

"No, no, we're not tired!"

"Senior, you mustn't." The crowd immediately and cooperatively stopped him! But at this moment, Xu Ping clearly noticed something amiss. The old man moved, seemingly using his feet for leverage. In the bright moonlight, they could see a faint glow where they stood, as if something was reflecting the moonlight. Xu Ping immediately became suspicious.

"Playing tricks!" Just as Xu Ping was wondering, a disgruntled shout rang out from the right. With this melodious, seductive voice, a lithe, black-clad figure leaped from the crowd, her movements swift, approaching the level of a low-ranking cultivator. A silver sword, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, appeared in her hand. She charged towards the leading old man with incredible speed, too fast for anyone to react!

Everyone was stunned. Someone dared to challenge four Saint-rank experts—wasn't that courting death? A flicker of panic crossed the old man's eyes, but more so, embarrassment and anger at being exposed. He staggered slightly, his figure unsteady.

Xu Ping had a flash of inspiration and immediately understood. The reflective material must be something like sturdy silk threads. The reason they appeared late was to take advantage of the moonlight being obscured by clouds, but the sudden moonlight was not part of their calculations. In other words, this group of people weren't Saint-level experts at all; they were just using their excellent lightness skills to walk on almost invisible silk threads, creating the illusion of being experts to build momentum for what was to come.

"Bold girl!" The old man was enraged and shouted without hesitation! Seemingly afraid of being exposed, he immediately attacked with a killing move, aiming straight for the black-clad woman's throat! "Hmph..." With a distinctive cold snort, the woman turned around with a strange movement, cleaving open the old man's mask with her sword. Amidst the gasps of surprise, she passed the old man and rushed towards the people behind him. With a deft wave of her hand, several sword energies immediately pierced through! The old man tried to stop her, but it was too late. His mask instantly split in two, unable to conceal his face. His face was ordinary and aged, lacking even the slightest trace of the demeanor expected of a master.

Meanwhile, the woman continued her provocation, her cold glance causing the other three to panic. From their earlier exchange, they knew the old man had only recently broken through to the first-rate level, so these three were certainly no stronger. As the woman charged, the sharp edge of her sword flashed before her, weaving a net of silver light. Combined with her graceful figure and light steps, it looked like a beautiful dance!

The three behind her hurriedly dodged, awkwardly avoiding the woman's sharp sword energy! Thin, almost invisible threads, previously taut, were now clearly visible to the woman in the moonlight. With a deft flick of her wrist, she severed them all, producing a crisp sound. All their tricks had been cut by the sword in her hand.

The crowd's eyes widened immediately. Although they couldn't see their faces, their anger at being fooled was palpable! Qiao'er, seeing her master's gaze, knew his mind was entirely on that formidable woman. After a moment's thought, she felt the woman's lightness skill and swordsmanship seemed familiar, but she couldn't quite place her. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed immediately.

"No need to think anymore, it's Leng Yue!" Xu Ping whispered to her. He had already begun to suspect something when he saw the woman's graceful lightness skill and elegant swordsmanship as she rushed past. He then recalled Leng Yue's image in his mind, comparing her measurements, and immediately guessed her identity.

"So it's her!" Qiao'er exclaimed, suddenly realizing, and began to wonder how she had come to be there. Xu Ping was also puzzled, but considering the numerous informants in the Shuntian Prefecture of the capital, this group's elaborate mobilization couldn't have escaped their notice. It was only natural for Leng Yue to come and investigate; there was nothing strange about it.

With barely glancing at anyone else, Leng Yue didn't bother with the four of them. With a nimble step, her beautiful figure retreated more than ten feet, gracefully holding her soft sword, standing tall and elegant. Her body was perfectly proportioned, at least 1.7 meters tall, highlighting her beautiful curves. It was undeniable that she was very attractive to men.

"Damn it, you old ghost, you're trying to fool us!"

"I'll curse your ancestors, you motherfucker, you're trying to trick us!" Even the most obtuse among them realized what was happening and shouted angrily, looking at the woman with awe at her precise swordsmanship. Of course, many men still had lewd glances at her ample bosom.

"Hmph!" The old man's face turned red with anger. In the moonlight, he was just an ordinary old face. Being exposed was naturally infuriating, but seeing the angry crowd, he dared not say anything more. "Impressive skills!" A silvery laugh rang out from the temple, and a strikingly beautiful figure emerged, clapping enthusiastically as she walked.

"Hmph!" The woman, unimpressed, snorted coldly, her soft sword seemingly retracted into her sleeve at some point. As

the

figure stepped into the moonlight, Xu Ping finally saw clearly that it was a petite girl. Although her face was veiled, obscuring her features, she was nearly as tall as Qiao'er, about 1.2 meters, but sported waist-length hair. Unlike women of this era, her hair was casually loose, without any adornments, making her look quite strange.

"Stop fucking pretentious!"

"That's right, fucking playing tricks." The crowd was no longer buying it; they were all furious at being mocked. If they weren't unaware of the situation, they would have rushed forward and slashed her!

"Hehe, since everyone is so agitated, then I'll speak frankly!" Her Mandarin was impeccable, without a single regional accent, and her gentle voice was very pleasant to listen to: "Although you all don't know each other, you all share a common dissatisfaction with the current court! I've dared to invite you all here to discuss important matters. The previous farce was just a temporary charade. You are all heroes, and I'm sure you won't hold a grudge against a little girl like me!"

The petite woman used a strategy of retreat to advance, forcing everyone to swallow their insults. Her eloquence was quite impressive!

Leng Yue snorted and stepped forward, saying with dissatisfaction: "If you came here just to make us listen to so much nonsense, then you might as well not say anything."

"This sister is really skilled!" The girl bowed politely, her tone still calm and composed, and said with a smile: "I didn't mean to tease you all. Please, would you like to hear what I have to say?"

"Spit it out!" Another uproar erupted from the crowd.

The girl cleared her throat slightly and said earnestly, "The current court is utterly immoral, as you all surely see. Several provinces, including Shandong and Hebei, are currently suffering from a severe famine! Bones are everywhere, and people are living in misery. Some are starving to death, others are dying of disease, and refugees are everywhere—it's like a living hell, heartbreaking to

witness." Her words were undeniably persuasive, her emotionally charged remarks immediately silencing the crowd. The girl seemed to be caught up in the sadness herself, saying sorrowfully, "Imagine, how can such a court allow its people to live in peace? The nomadic tribes of the borderlands are plundering and killing our people, and the court has four large military camps but dares not fight a single battle. Why should we support such an incompetent emperor?"

"Just spit it out!" Leng Yue was as cold as ever, her tone impatient, unlike the silence of the others. "Gentlemen!" The girl gave a slight bow and said, "I have an idea, which is to unite your strengths and discuss important matters together!"

"What the hell are you talking about!" A tall figure in the crowd cursed rudely and angrily, "Do you really think we're fools? Although we are indeed dissatisfied with the court, we're not stupid enough to become targets. Let alone the four major military camps, there are four or five hundred thousand scattered troops in various places alone. Which sect has the guts to fight against the court?!"

"That's right, they're playing us!" The crowd erupted in another wave of discontent.

Xu Ping was quite satisfied with these people's reaction. After all, no matter how strong a martial arts sect was, once the court's regular army arrived, they would all be wiped out. It seemed that these roughnecks weren't simple-minded fools.

Leng Yue continued to watch her quietly, completely unaware that Xu Ping, hidden in the crowd, was staring at her pert buttocks with an incredibly lewd expression, almost as if he wanted to rush forward and take a bite to see what it tasted like. Such a pert buttocks were truly rare!

The girl smiled gently, completely unfazed by the people's rude insults. She continued in a very gentle tone, "Gentlemen, of course we are not asking you to fight against the imperial army. All we need is for you to settle your scores and eliminate those local officials you dislike when you rise up. These corrupt officials are devouring the people; can you bear to see them suffer?"

Xu Ping's face immediately turned cold. Regardless of whether the person behind her was Ji Long or not, this plan was far too ruthless! If an uprising were to break out somewhere, and local officials were killed one after another, while it wouldn't affect the overall situation, it would certainly cause unease among the people and the imperial court. How insidious!

A moment of silence fell over the crowd, then someone said, "Why should we believe you? Just because of your words, girl? Who's your master? If you want to cooperate, you need to show some sincerity!"

"Who my master is, you'd better not know!" The girl shook her head magnanimously, her tone slightly playful. "It's more like a mutually beneficial arrangement than a cooperation! If you all want to cooperate, we can discuss our plans tomorrow. Otherwise, we won't force you."

"I'm not interested!" Leng Yue said, turning and leaving without looking back. Xu Ping smiled. This Leng Yue certainly knew how to act! After stirring up the waters, she was leaving. There were definitely still her companions observing among the crowd; it seemed she wanted to go ahead and gather her forces.

The others became wary, watching to see if the girl would send someone to intercept Leng Yue. The girl seemed to have read everyone's mind and immediately assured them, "Don't worry, everyone. Even if we can't cooperate, we would never do anything to harm our friends!"

As soon as Leng Yue left, most of the people followed her. With so many martial arts masters gathered together, it wouldn't be practical for the woman to kill them all. After all, the half who left could almost rival a major sect; wiping them all out would be extremely difficult, and even a regular army wouldn't be able to guarantee a complete wipeout.

The girl seemed delighted to have left so many people behind, and her tone became cheerful: "Alright, everyone, since you all have this intention, I am extremely grateful. To show our sincerity, we can't just make empty promises. Please look."

As soon as she finished speaking, the old man from before walked up carrying a round object, casually tossed it, and a bloody human head rolled a few times on the ground.

People in the martial arts world didn't react much to such a bloody scene, and Xu Ping wasn't particularly concerned at first. But upon closer inspection of the mangled face, his mind went blank, and he felt a tightness in his chest, almost unable to breathe. That familiar, disheveled face now appeared incredibly tragic. This severed head belonged to He Jin, the top scholar he had personally selected. He should have been investigating the disaster relief fund case; how could he have died at their hands?

Seeing Xu Ping's fists clenched so tightly, his eyes flashing with a cold light, Qiao'er immediately took his hand and shook her head.

Although Xu Ping's temples throbbed with anger, he knew he couldn't act impulsively at this moment. He took a deep breath, suppressing his rage, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he awaited the girl's next move.

The girl seemed a little uncomfortable with the bloodshed and took a slight step back. She explained to the puzzled crowd, "This man is He Jin, the top scholar in the imperial examination. He was originally ordered to investigate the disaster relief fund case, but we discovered that he was secretly accepting bribes from those corrupt officials. So, eliminating this great scourge for the people is also a way for us to show our sincerity."

"A major disaster?" Xu Ping gritted his teeth until they ached. Although He Jin wasn't his true confidant, he was someone Xu Ping had personally promoted. While He Jin was easygoing, he could very well become Xu Ping's right-hand man in the court. The accusation of corruption was baseless. Although "nine out of ten officials are corrupt," that was unavoidable, He Jin had just taken office; he wouldn't dare touch disaster relief funds. This was definitely a frame-up.

Everyone fell silent, their thoughts unreadable. The girl guessed that their concern was about revealing her identity and immediately said, "Gentlemen, of course, you can consider this carefully. I have already arranged your lodgings and meals, and someone will come to visit you tomorrow!"

"Farewell!" No one said more, and they bowed and descended the stone steps. Qiao'er tried to pull Xu Ping away, but couldn't budge him. Xu Ping was determined to stay, and Qiao'er was extremely worried! If everyone left, leaving only her and Xu Ping, and not knowing how many troops the enemy had, what would happen if something went wrong?

Xu Ping's legs felt as heavy as lead. He'd be furious if he didn't avenge such a huge loss! But now was definitely not the time for revenge. His mind raced for a while, then a sudden inspiration struck him!

As the last figure descended the mountain, only Xu Ping and Qiao'er remained standing there. Qiao'er appeared calm, but tears were welling in her eyes.

Seeing they hadn't left, the girl approached and asked, puzzled, "Gentlemen, is there anything else?"

"Nothing much, just a question I'd like to ask!" Xu Ping squeezed Qiao'er's hand firmly to reassure her, then, to conceal his identity, deliberately lowered his voice and spoke to her in a hoarse tone. "Please speak, sir!" The girl politely stepped forward.

Xu Ping's eyes turned cold, the veins on his neck throbbing. He took a step forward, releasing his inner energy and deliberately displaying the powerful aura of a top-tier expert. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Who killed He Jin?"

The intense killing intent in his voice startled Qiao'er. "Who are you trying to scare!" The old man, still seething with anger, immediately stepped forward upon seeing Xu Ping's provocation, arrogantly saying, "Who are you, daring to speak to us like that..."

Before he could finish, Xu Ping had already rushed in front of him, delivering a vicious punch to his chest. Before the old man could react, he coughed up blood and flew backward like a broken kite, falling to the ground motionless.

"Who was it?" Xu Ping slowly stepped back, picking up He Jin's severed head. He closed the old man's eyes, which were filled with resentment, while looking at the girl with a sarcastic expression. He had vented his anger on the old man with a vicious punch, and now he knew without even looking that the old man had no chance of survival.

More than fifty men in black emerged sporadically from the woods, guarding the girl. The girl was clearly terrified; Xu Ping's eyes were bloodshot, and his earlier bizarre movements were unbelievable. After a moment, she recovered, looking at the man before her, exuding an evil aura yet completely unmoved by her ambush. With a quick thought, she waved away the men in black and stepped forward respectfully, asking, "May I ask what business this senior has?"

Xu Ping's single move had killed the old man, which had indeed served as a deterrent. Seeing the girl's slight startle followed by immediate composure, he inwardly praised her, his voice still hoarse and malevolent: "I only want to know who killed He Jin!" He finished, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he stared at her.

"Senior, please speak freely!" The girl took a step back in fright, but remained calm. Xu Ping slowly stood up, his voice filled with rage: "You bunch of brainless bastards, you've killed one of our most important pawns!"

"Pawn?" The girl's eyes widened, and Qiao'er was equally astonished. Xu Ping snorted coldly, gritting his teeth, "Do you know how much effort we put into getting He Jin to the Crown Prince's side and securing this official position? Years of hard work have been ruined by you like this! Tell me! Shouldn't I settle this score with you today?"

Qiao'er's round eyes darted around, and she immediately understood Xu Ping's meaning. He wanted to take this opportunity to vent his anger while simultaneously demonstrating his opposition to the court, without revealing his identity, and to help He Jin avenge himself—a two-birds-with-one-stone strategy!

"You mean, He Jin is one of your people?" The girl was also shocked and immediately asked respectfully, "May I ask who you are, senior?"

"A member of the Demonic Sect!" Xu Ping's eyes flashed with a sinister light as he spoke, grabbing her throat with one hand and gritting his teeth, "You actually destroyed a pawn that my sect painstakingly cultivated! Do you know how much effort we put into getting him into the court? Tell me, how do you plan to settle this score?"

As Xu Ping spoke, he didn't care about showing any mercy, slowly raising his hand and pinching the girl's petite body.

"Senior, please calm down!" The girl felt her breath catch in her throat and hurriedly explained, "We didn't know He Jin was one of your people. It's just that our intelligence was too poor, and we couldn't find out. If we had known earlier, we certainly wouldn't have made such a mistake. This is completely a misunderstanding. Please calm down, senior!"

"Put her down!" Upon seeing this, the people in the woods immediately shouted, and two second-rate experts jumped over. "Get out of here!" Xu Ping shouted, and with a wave of his hand, the crisp sound of bones breaking rang out as the two flew back into the woods. The faint sounds of them crashing into trees and their death screams could still be heard.

"S-Senior..." The girl was now deathly pale with fright. She coughed, her breathing labored, and her face was pale. Through her veil, one could see the fear and unease filling her bright eyes.

Xu Ping coldly set her down, and the girl collapsed to the ground. Coughing, she explained, "It's just a misunderstanding, we didn't mean it."

"A misunderstanding?" Xu Ping chuckled, a sinister laugh. "You think a simple misunderstanding can solve this? We were hoping He Jin could protect our sect in the officialdom, but years of hard work have been ruined by you. And you call this a misunderstanding? I'll kill you all, and we'll all be considered a misunderstanding. What do you think?"

The girl fell silent, unsure what to say. After a long hesitation, she said, "Then what kind of compensation would be fair, senior? Since it's our fault, we'll give your sect an explanation!"

"Well, hehe! This old man can't make that decision." Xu Ping chuckled sinisterly as he grabbed her, coldly saying, "You'll have to discuss this with our superiors."

The girl realized she was now a hostage. Looking at her men, she knew they were no match for this man. She blamed herself for being careless, having ambushed most of her forces at the foot of the mountain. Helplessly thinking for a moment, she nodded and said, "Since that's the case, this humble woman is willing to accompany you, senior, to explain things to your sect leader in person."

"That would be best!" Xu Ping nodded in satisfaction, glanced at the menacing men in black, and asked with a grim face, "But I want to know who killed He Jin?"

"This..." The girl seemed very troubled, hesitating to speak. Xu Ping tightened his grip, causing her shoulder to ache. He threatened in a harsh voice, "If you don't speak, I suspect your operation won't end well. Although our Demonic Sect may not be a great force, we will never suffer such a loss in silence."

The girl's eyes flickered, instinctively looking at the three young men following behind the old man. Xu Ping immediately understood, his eyes flashing with ferocity. He threw her back and immediately rushed towards the three men: "Give me your life..."

Qiao'er nimbly caught the girl and immediately locked her throat in a lock. Feeling that the woman in his arms seemed utterly weak and lacked any internal strength, he couldn't help but wonder how she could be the leader of this group.

The three men's legs went weak when they saw Xu Ping approaching, and they immediately turned and ran, but how could they possibly match Xu Ping's lightness skill? Before they could run more than a few steps, Xu Ping appeared silently behind them like a ghost.

"Damn it, dare to touch my men?" Xu Ping thought to himself, grabbing one man's forehead with each hand and squeezing hard. Blood gushed from their seven orifices, unable to withstand the pressure. With

a swift turn, he flung aside the two lifeless bodies and strode forward, delivering a powerful punch to the back of the last man. Bones shattered, and his heart burst from the impact. He flew forward like carelessly discarded trash, traveling over ten meters before crashing to the ground!

The three still-warm corpses twitched instinctively on the ground. Xu Ping was covered in their blood, a horrifying sight. Seeing the fear in their eyes, Xu Ping knew he had achieved his goal. He snorted coldly, ignoring the blood on his body, and turned away with a flourish. Three lives were taken in the blink of an eye with

a single move; such skill was truly chilling. "Take her away!" As Xu Ping walked past, the men in black involuntarily took a step back.

The girl watched helplessly as all four died at Xu Ping's hands, but what could she say? After much deliberation, she decided she couldn't afford to offend a strange and sinister sect for the sake of these four, especially since the man before her was so skilled. Gaining the support of the Demonic Sect would be far more advantageous. The girl could only sigh helplessly and instruct the men in black, "You all go back first. I'm going to visit the Demonic Sect! Nothing will happen."

Although the men in black were unwilling, seeing the girl's resolute expression, they could only nod helplessly and quickly disappeared into the woods.

Qiao'er was on edge the whole way. She hadn't expected her master to pull such a stunt, using this excuse to vent her anger. Although it had worked, it was far too risky. However, revenge was the Demonic Sect's nature, and seeing that the girl didn't seem suspicious, it could lower their guard against the Demonic Sect—a good plan indeed.

After descending the mountain, Xu Ping was secretly alarmed! Hundreds of people were lying in ambush at the foot of the mountain. Fortunately, he had a hostage; otherwise, it would have been extremely difficult for him to escape with Qiao'er. However, they seemed to know the whole story and didn't say much. They silently led over a carriage, and Xu Ping had Qiao'er get in first. He carefully held the reins and spurred the horse towards the capital.

The bumpy ride made him feel uncomfortable all over. As they approached the city gate, Xu Ping's eyes turned cold. He noticed someone was secretly following them, though their tracking skills weren't very good. As soon as Xu Ping entered the city gate, he suddenly attacked. He leaped forward and kicked the roadblock to the center, immediately blocking anyone who came after him.

By the time the city gate guards removed the roadblock, the carriage had vanished. Searching for the powder left on the carriage, they found it parked at the entrance of the busy street, completely empty.

Qiao'er's sensitive nose had detected the powder on the carriage. When they returned to report in frustration, the two had already abducted the little girl to a house, Lou Jiu's territory, so secluded that even Qiao'er was unaware of it.

The girl's eyes had been blindfolded by Qiao'er the whole time, and although she tried to memorize the route, the two were moving too fast for her to remember. When she regained her sight, she found herself in a dark, secluded room. Apart from a soft bed, a table, and a chair, there was nothing else. Looking at the stairs and the candlelight, she immediately realized she was in a sealed basement.

"Two seniors," the girl asked humbly, adjusting to the room's unpleasant air, "May I see your leader?"

"Hey little girl!" Qiao'er, rarely seeing a girl smaller than herself, was naturally eager to tease her. She said dismissively, "How could you possibly know our leader's whereabouts? As for that peculiar fragrance on you, I've already removed it; it won't leave any trace. So don't expect anyone to come to your rescue."

Xu Ping, fearing Qiao'er might be up to some kind of drug-testing game, quickly lowered his voice and said, "Don't be afraid. Once we're sure no one is chasing after us, we'll arrange for you to see our leader. Just stay here and relax!" He then pointed to the dry rations and water in the corner.

Qiao'er, having given up her playful mood, nodded and said with a grin, "Just wait patiently! No one will come here."

"That's all I can do!" the girl sighed helplessly, saying resentfully, "I hope I won't have to wait too long."

"Hmm," Xu Ping wasn't interested in lifting her veil at this point; He Jin's face was still lingering in his mind. Xu Ping had secretly retrieved his head. Although he couldn't give him a proper burial, he couldn't leave his body exposed in the wilderness.

He carefully locked the petite woman up, and Qiao'er searched her body for any lock-picking items like hairpins. After locking the door multiple times, the two secretly returned home. Xu Ping's mind was still filled with the image of He Jin at the moment of his death, feeling somewhat resentful, so he remained silent. Qiao'er also knew it was best not to make a fuss at this time, and unusually, she kept quiet, her usually chattering mouth shut.

Back home, Xu Ping knew Qiao'er would definitely send someone to monitor the place, but that was irrelevant now. The most important thing was to find out who had orchestrated this conspiracy!

Unlike usual, he didn't consult with Uncle Liu and the others. After the incident of the guards being bribed, Xu Ping felt it was better to think things through on his own. He moved a grand chair over and sat in the desolate courtyard, closing his eyes to ponder the events of the night.

He couldn't shake the feeling that Ji Long wasn't the mastermind behind it all. Ji Long had already allied himself with a major martial arts sect like the Green Robe Sect, so he must have had connections with other smaller sects and extraordinary individuals as well. There was no need for him to risk premature exposure by orchestrating something like this.

The most suspicious thing was the girl's identity. Although she brought many people, almost none of them were respectable. Being able to preside over such an important event meant she held a high position; and if she held a high position, why would the mastermind trust her to bring only these people? It was undeniably bizarre and utterly incomprehensible. "Master!" A very gentle, melodious voice called out.

Xu Ping knew it was Xiao Mi even before he opened his eyes, and immediately felt a thin blanket being draped over him. Xiao Mi stood to the side, looking at Xu Ping's troubled expression with heartache, and said softly, "It's late, almost midnight! You should rest early."

Xu Ping groggily opened his eyes. The bloodstains on his night clothes had dried completely, emitting a pungent smell that made him feel very uncomfortable! Beside him lay He Jin's severed head. Seeing Xiao Mi speaking so timidly, he wondered if his behavior was perverse.

He instructed the servants to find a place to bury He Jin's head, and then Xu Ping immediately took a bath. The warm bathwater and the misty steam filled the room. Xu Ping soaked comfortably in the water, watching Xiao Mi gently wipe him with a towel. His previously heavy mood relaxed considerably.

Xiao Mi wore white pajama bottoms and only a close-fitting green undergarment. Her fair skin with a rosy glow and her face glistening with sweat looked so adorable that one couldn't help but feel tenderness towards her. "Xiao Mi!" Xu Ping was aroused, especially by the small bulge under her bodice, which fueled his imagination. "Master!" Xiao Mi waited for Xu Ping's orders with a tender expression. "Help me change my clothes. I want to sleep with Xiao Xue tonight."

Xiao Mi replied dejectedly, but still obediently brought Xu Ping a set of casual shorts and a t-shirt to dress him. After giving a curtsy, she went to rest.

Xu Ping arrived at the courtyard where the mother and daughter lived with practiced ease. Along the way, he hypnotized himself, telling himself that these things should be thought about during the day and enjoyed at night! This carefree hypnosis was very effective. By the time he entered the courtyard, Xu Ping had already thrown away all his melancholy. His brain was practically turning yellow, and his mind was filled with images of the mother and daughter's voluptuous bodies and alluring beauty.

But the most difficult moment arrived. Looking at the two dark rooms, Xu Ping hesitated. I told them I'd come over tonight, but getting both of them into the same bed is proving difficult. The toughest decision is choosing one of these two beauties to conquer. This is giving me a headache...

Xu Ping swore he had never been in such a predicament in his life. The women behind the two doors had different charms, but they were equally alluring, especially since they were mother and daughter, which made it even more exciting. After hesitating for a while, Xu Ping decided to take advantage of the intimacy of the evening to win over Cheng Ningxue. He

quietly walked to her door and knocked twice. "Who is it?" Cheng Ningxue's voice was light and airy, revealing her nervousness and surprise, and she didn't seem sleepy at all. "It's me. Open the door!" Xu Ping chuckled; it seemed she had been waiting for him and couldn't sleep. "No, no! It's too late, let's wait until tomorrow," Cheng Ningxue refused nervously.

Xu Ping frowned, knowing it would be difficult and time-consuming to persuade her to open the door. So he put on a stern face and threatened, "If you don't open the door, I'll kick it open. Do whatever you want."

"No way!"

Cheng Ningxue panicked. If this commotion happened at night, the whole household would know he had come looking for her. How could she, an unmarried girl, face anyone then? Having marital relations before marriage had a very unpleasant connotation in this era—"illicit affair."

Xu Ping waited smugly. Sure enough, with a series of light footsteps, the door slowly opened. Although the room was dark, Cheng Ningxue's beautiful figure was still clearly visible. Although the loose white nightgown of ancient women concealed her voluptuous curves, it couldn't hide her natural beauty. As soon as the door opened, a delicate fragrance seemed to waft towards her.

Before she could say anything, Xu Ping quickly slipped inside and locked the door tightly. "Master, it's late! You should go back to sleep." Cheng Ningxue was flustered, unsure of what to do with her hands. Although she was somewhat prepared, being in a room with a man in such an intimate situation still made her uneasy.

Xu Ping didn't answer. He glanced at the food and wine on the table, then unceremoniously lit a candle and sat down, pouring himself a small glass of wine.

"Master!" Cheng Ningxue had just finished lighting the candle when she saw Xu Ping about to eat the leftovers. She quickly came forward, stopping him from taking the leftovers from her and her mother, and hurriedly said, "You can't eat these. If you'd like a drink, I'll prepare some hot food for you."

Cheng Ningxue looked even more beautiful under the lamplight, especially when she bent over. Xu Ping immediately saw the two mounds of white flesh at her neckline, and his desire flared up instantly. He pulled her closer with a sly smile, saying, "No! This isn't the time for such formalities. Besides, the aroma of your food here is quite delightful."

"No way!" Cheng Ningxue was on the verge of tears. If others knew Xu Ping was eating their leftovers, Uncle Liu and Zhao Ling would definitely scold her. If the people in the palace found out, it would be even worse.

"Then forget it!" Xu Ping had a sudden idea. Seeing Cheng Ningxue's relieved expression, which made her even more delicate and adorable, he couldn't help but pull her forcefully, lifting her onto his lap amidst her gasp.

"Master, don't do this!" Cheng Ningxue sat on Xu Ping's lap, weakly pushing against his chest with her small hands, softly refusing, her face flushed with shyness, but she didn't struggle.

"Hehe, don't be afraid!" Xu Ping said, picking up a wine glass and handing it to her, leering, "If you feed me, it won't count as leftovers, right?"

"This..." Cheng Ningxue held the wine glass, momentarily at a loss. "Be good, drink it!" Xu Ping's voice was extremely gentle, seemingly possessing infinite magic.

Cheng Ningxue couldn't resist such gentle words, her face flushed, and she took small sips of the wine into her rosy lips.

Xu Ping stared dumbfounded at her delicate and adorable appearance as she took the wine in her mouth, but then she actually swallowed it all. He was both amused and exasperated. He could only blame it on the fact that this girl was still a virgin and had no experience in flirting, but she was just too naive!

Helpless, he poured another cup and coaxed, "Don't drink it, just hold it in your mouth."

"Okay!" Cheng Ningxue obediently held the wine in her mouth again, looking at Xu Ping with a puzzled expression.

Xu Ping's head was throbbing with pain. Sex education in ancient times was terrible. Apart from specially trained palace maids like Xiao Mi, most women didn't even know how to procreate on their wedding night. It was incredibly outdated.

Holding onto a noble idea, Xu Ping felt that educating her was a lofty undertaking. Taking advantage of Cheng Ningxue's dazed state, Xu Ping hugged her tightly and suddenly kissed her rosy lips!

Cheng Ningxue was startled, her beautiful, bright eyes widening. Before she could react, Xu Ping eagerly sucked the warm, youthful wine from her mouth into his own, swallowing it before immediately parting her teeth and licking her tongue.

"No..." Cheng Ningxue tried to struggle, but before she could speak, her previously evasive tongue was offered to Xu Ping's lips. Xu Ping held it tightly, gently licking the tip of his tongue, and immediately felt the beauty in his arms tremble slightly.

"Mmm..." As Xu Ping's nimble tongue roamed in her warm, sweet mouth, Cheng Ningxue slowly became docile, shyly closing her beautiful eyes, a low moan escaping from deep within her throat. Just hearing that melodious moan was enough to excite anyone.

Seizing the opportunity, Xu Ping swept her up in his arms and gently moved her to the bedside. Cheng Ningxue was completely immersed in the beauty of her first kiss. After a while, she came to her senses, panting, and realized she was already lying in bed. She shyly opened her eyes and saw Xu Ping staring intently at her, his eyes burning with a heat that seemed to melt her. Her heart fluttered with intoxication, and her small body trembled slightly.

"Baby, you're so beautiful!" Xu Ping exclaimed, lowering his head to give her a light, fleeting kiss on her glistening red lips. In the dim candlelight, the beautiful woman's face flushed with spring, her bright eyes misty with a layer of watery haze, making her look charming and lovely—truly a rare beauty!

Cheng Ningxue was moved by her lover's gentle words. She thought that struggling was pointless now; she would be his sooner or later anyway, so she relaxed and savored her innocent first kiss, finding it incredibly beautiful.

Gently kissing her soft red lips, Xu Ping guided the tense Ningxue to relax, gently prying open her tightly clenched teeth with the tip of his tongue. As Ningxue parted her lips, Xu Ping immediately seized the opportunity, slipping his tongue inside, greedily savoring the girl's fragrant scent.

Ningxue slowly relaxed her body with the pleasure of the kiss, beginning to awkwardly respond to Xu Ping's teasing. Although her inexperienced tongue was still somewhat at a loss, it still thrilled Xu Ping, who continued to tease her vigorously. Their tongues intertwined like a dance, the room filled only with their hot breaths and the soft sounds of their kisses.

When Xu Ping released the breathless Ningxue, her pretty face was flushed with passion. Her eyes were closed, she breathed softly, completely absorbed in the beauty of their first kiss, the only flaw being that her delicate body was stiff from tension.

Xu Ping wasn't in a hurry to enjoy her virginity, but rather watched with interest as she became alluring in a state of passion. Two blushes crept onto her pretty face, making her already beautiful face even more alluring.

Cheng Ningxue shyly opened her eyes and saw Xu Ping's tender gaze. Her heart sweetened, and she gently touched Xu Ping's face with her trembling little hand, saying nervously, "Brother Ping, can I call you Brother Ping?"
