In Chapter 5 of Episode 7, Liu Qingyun was

filled with mixed emotions, but Xu Ping was also seething with hatred! He couldn't believe that Guo Linshi had actually given birth to Guo Jinghao's child. Her figure didn't look like that of a woman who had been pregnant at all; it was a waste.

Despite his anger, Xu Ping pretended to be asleep and eavesdropped on their conversation.

"Hehe, you don't need to worry about that, sister. As long as we sever the Ming Dynasty's imperial lineage, we can plunge the world into chaos, and then our sect will have a chance to ascend to the throne," the little maid laughed smugly.

Guo Linshi snorted coldly, saying disdainfully, "The fate of the nation rests on the shoulders of a mere dragon vein? Your leader is far too naive! And your Green Robe Sect is far too confident; do you think you can seize the throne with your small force?"

"That's none of your concern!" The little maid, realizing she'd let something slip, quickly changed the subject and threatened, "Do you still want to see your daughter? We just want to know the location of the dragon vein. After we find out, I guarantee you and your daughter will be reunited."

"Hmph!" Guo Linshi said nothing more, turning back to her chair. The moment her fingers touched the strings of her zither, Xu Ping listened tentatively and immediately felt a wave of confusion wash

over him. He instantly understood that she was trying to hypnotize him into revealing the dragon vein's location. Xu Ping naturally cooperated, listening for a while until his eyes glazed over. He unconsciously sat up, his mouth agape, his face blank with a dazed look.

"Ask away!" Guo Linshi continued playing.

The young maidservant rushed over nervously and stood before Xu Ping, asking, "Where is the dragon vein of the Ming Dynasty?"

Xu Ping said nothing, pretending not to understand as he looked at Guo Linshi. He sensed a helplessness and worry etched on her exquisite face, a beauty tinged with melancholy, and his heart was momentarily lost in thought.

"What's wrong?" the maidservant asked anxiously.

Guo Linshi sighed deeply and gracefully approached Xu Ping. Their eyes met, and Xu Ping seemed to see endless tenderness and sorrow in her deep, bright eyes. They were less than five centimeters apart, and he could vaguely see the astonishing whiteness of her crystalline skin, her long eyelashes, and her rosy lips adding to her allure. Guo

Linshi's voice was slow, yet carried an irresistible magic: "Tell me, where is the dragon vein?"

Xu Ping shook his head absently, as if in great pain. The moment she opened her mouth, the hot breath from her red lips was even more alluring than her music. If he hadn't been holding back, he would have loved to kiss her soft little lips!

"What's going on?" the maid asked anxiously.

Guo Lin sighed and said, "Although he's been bewitched by my puppet music, he's still a master with profound internal strength. It's normal for him to resist a little. Wait a while!"

The maid looked at Xu Ping with a serious expression, afraid that speaking again would affect the effect, so she shut her mouth, seemingly very nervous, sweat beading on her forehead.

"Ugh," Xu Ping pretended to be in pain for a long time before calming down, saying mechanically, "In the South Office,"

"What?" the maid exclaimed, but immediately pressed, "Where in the South China Sea? Doesn't a dragon vein have to be chosen from mountains and rivers? How could it be in the South China Sea?"

Xu Ping continued to pretend to be dazed, saying stupidly, "I don't know."

"How could this be?" the maid stamped her foot anxiously.

Guo Linshi didn't care at all and immediately asked anxiously, "I've asked you everything you wanted to know. Where's my daughter? I need to see her now!"

"What's the rush?" The maid glared at her and said sarcastically, "I'll reunite her with you right away!"

"What?" Guo Linshi was shocked and asked in a trembling voice, "You...you killed her?"

"No!" The maid sneered and said, "But it'll be soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, more than twenty burly men in black suddenly rushed into the courtyard, each wielding a sharp sword. The leader threw a sack on the ground, and a frail figure immediately collapsed to the ground!

"Wenwen!" Guo Linshi cried out in pain and rushed forward, frantically looking at her daughter, checking her eyes and breasts, feeling her pulse. After a while, she confirmed that her daughter had only fainted and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Damn! Although Xu Ping was still in a daze, he was shocked. Originally, everyone thought Guo Linshi's daughter was just a two or three-year-old girl, but they never expected it to be Guo Wenwen. Looking at her face, she seemed to be only around twenty years old; how could she have given birth to such a grown daughter? She was incredibly well-preserved.

"Don't be in such a hurry!" the maid said smugly. "Don't thank me yet. Your beautiful daughter will surely become a member of our Green Robe Sect. We've been

eyeing such a lovely little girl for a long time!" She then laughed loudly with a group of burly men in black behind her. The men made no attempt to hide their lust, their eyes fixed on the beautiful mother and daughter, brazenly staring at their sensitive areas. It seemed they too had long coveted the mother and daughter.

Guo Linshi simply held her daughter tightly, saying nothing. Guo Wenwen lay quietly in her arms, the mother and daughter looking so fragile and helpless.

"After you finished asking your questions, why did you have to kill her to silence her?" Guo Linshi said bitterly.

"Do we look like we're just asking questions and leaving?" The maid's face turned cold, her expression filled with murderous intent. "Now that things have come to this, you can leave in peace. Don't you know what will happen if the current Chancellor and the Crown Prince die together?"

"What?" Guo Linshi was stunned. "You're going to kill my master?"

"Yes!" The maid smiled smugly. "We don't usually get such a good opportunity. Now we can eliminate them all at once. The fact that the royal family has no heir is enough to throw the world into chaos. How could we not take such a good opportunity?"

With that, she waved her hand, and the burly men in black, their faces contorted with rage, approached, gripping their broadswords.

Although they slowly raised their swords, Xu Ping remained dazed and confused, unmoved. Because besides the breathing of these burly men in black, they had clearly heard other subtle movements. As a high-ranking official, Guo Jinghao couldn't possibly have only mediocre subordinates, and naturally wouldn't allow these second-rate experts to run rampant in his residence.

Sure enough, a flash of cold light appeared, and Guo Linshi's eyes flashed with murderous intent, a resolute yet mocking sneer.

"Yi..."

"Yi..."

Accompanied by the screams of the burly men, they coughed up blood, staring in disbelief at the slowly splitting skin on their necks, drops of blood seeping out. When they tried to pull their hands away, they found their hands also wrapped in silk threads, unable to move.

On the courtyard wall, more than thirty elegant women had gathered, some pure and lovely in their late teens, others charming and alluring in their prime. Their slender, jade-like hands were outstretched, manipulating countless transparent silk threads around the men like puppeteers.

As Guo Linshi picked up her daughter, she said coldly, "Leave no one alive!"

"Yes, Senior Sister," the women's voices rang out in unison.

The women waved their delicate hands, their graceful figures swaying as if in a gentle dance, their long black hair adding to their feminine beauty. The light movements perfectly showcased the suppleness of the female body, a truly pleasing sight!

The dance above was beautiful and moving, but the scene in the courtyard was like hell on earth. The burly men screamed, helplessly swinging their broadswords at each other! Each sharp blade slicing through flesh produced a bloodcurdling scream. As more and more blood and flesh accumulated on the ground, the living, bound by their silk threads, continued their mechanical slaughter, slowly turning into mangled corpses.

After each silent death, the women disgustedly wiped the blood from the threads with handkerchiefs, then coldly glanced at the once arrogant little maid.

The little maid, recovering from her terror, screamed in horror and tried to run, but found herself also bound by silk threads, unable to move an inch despite all her strength.

At this moment, Guo Linshi returned; she must have just taken her daughter back to her boudoir to rest. Seemingly enraged by their kidnapping of Guo Wenwen, her face was now icy cold as she looked at the terrified maidservant, saying each word clearly, "Send her on her way!"

"Yes!" came the uniform reply. The once petite and charming maidservant, in terror, suddenly coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground, convulsing.

"Go!" Guo Linshi waved her hand gently, bowing in gratitude.

The women smiled gently and vanished silently from the wall, just as they had come, leaving only the corpses and Guo Linshi behind.

Guo Linshi looked at the unconscious Guo Jinghao with a complex expression, then at Xu Ping, who continued to feign idiocy. She sighed softly, knelt down, and said weakly, "This humble woman, Liu Qingyun, has committed heinous crimes and deserves death!" She then prostrated herself, as if awaiting sentencing.

Xu Ping was slightly taken aback, realizing his acting had been exposed. He chuckled a few times, stood up, and walked forward, asking suspiciously, "Aren't you Guo Linshi? How come you're Liu Qingyun now?"

Liu Qingyun remained kneeling, her voice trembling as she said, "Liu Qingyun is my humble name, Guo Linshi is just an alias!"

"Is that so?" Xu Ping snorted coldly, sat back down, and said with a dark face, "Then shouldn't you wake Lord Guo now so we can have a proper talk?"

"Yes!" Liu Qingyun dared not disobey, gently stepped forward, pinched Guo Jinghao's neck a few times, and then knelt down again.

Guo Jinghao slowly woke up, seemingly unsurprised by Xu Ping's gloomy expression. They both knelt down, and Guo Jinghao said helplessly, "Your Highness, I only resorted to this desperate measure because I love my daughter so much! I know I cannot escape death, so please spare my family for the sake of all the years I have served the court!"

"Spare your family?" Xu Ping sneered, saying each word clearly, "Now I am sitting alone in your Prime Minister's residence, surrounded by both the Hundred Flowers Palace and the Green Robe Sect. You are truly surrounded by experts. Shouldn't you, Lord Guo, spare me?"

"This sinful subject dares not!" Guo Jinghao's voice revealed vicissitudes and helplessness.

"Alright, get up!" Xu Ping sipped his wine, sneered, and said, "I was right to say you're a fool. Your ambition seems to be no less than Ji Long's! Since I have come alone, why don't we have an open and frank talk?"

"This sinful subject obeys!" Guo Jinghao carefully sat back down in his chair. At this moment, a group of men dressed as servants came up to clean up the corpses. Although they were dressed roughly, each of them walked with strength and breathed steadily, indicating that they were all experts. They swiftly moved the corpses away and washed away the blood.

Liu Qingyun remained kneeling on the ground. Although her frail figure was pitiful, who would have thought that beneath this beautiful face lay a ruthless killer? Her slender fingers were perfectly suited for playing the zither, but what she produced was the sinister sound of puppets—a truly regrettable situation!

Xu Ping didn't let her get up. After exchanging a long look with Guo Jinghao, he slowly spoke, "Lord Guo, you were behind last night's events, weren't you?"

"Yes!" Guo Jinghao readily admitted, which startled Xu Ping.

Guo Jinghao smiled sadly and said, "This humble subject knows that nothing can escape His Highness the Crown Prince's discerning eye, but this humble subject has a question, I wonder if I should ask it?"

"Ask away!" Xu Ping's expression was grave. From the moment the Hundred Flowers Palace disciples used fine silk as weapons, he had already begun to suspect that Guo Jinghao was another person plotting a rebellion. He had only casually tested him, but he hadn't expected Guo Jinghao to admit it so readily. The other person plotting a rebellion was none other than Guo Jinghao himself. The two prime ministers of the court, each with their own ulterior motives, coveted the throne and secretly wanted to ascend to the throne. This was truly a great irony. Guo Jinghao asked respectfully, "Given the current situation, if Ji Long really does raise an army and rebel, Your Highness, who do you think has a greater chance of winning, the court or Ji Long?"

Xu Ping's expression immediately turned serious. Guo Jinghao's question was truly direct and unreserved. Currently, everyone was carefully protecting their own power, and even Ji Long and his father probably couldn't give a clear answer. Although his mind was a little confused, he still spoke firmly, "Of course it's the imperial court. Even if the entire Hungry Wolf Camp marches south, they are still fighting against the whole world on their own!"

"Forgive my bluntness!" Guo Jinghao straightened his expression and said slowly, "It's hard to say who will win or lose. Although the imperial court claims to have three major legions at its disposal, and the Broken Army Camp can indeed fight the Hungry Wolf Camp, the other two camps are already dead in name only! The garrisons in various places, the imperial guards in the capital, the Tiandu Prefecture, the Shuntian Prefecture, and the imperial guards—these major forces are intertwined, and it's probably unclear who is on whose side!"

"What are you trying to say?" Xu Ping's face immediately turned cold. Indeed, the current situation, with its intertwined forces, was very worrying.

Guo Jinghao smiled weakly and said, "Your Highness, this humble subject stands in the court. Which side do you think I should lean towards? Should I remain loyal to the Emperor? Or should I collude with Ji Long to protect myself?"

Xu Ping smiled gently and said slowly, "Since Lord Guo has already mentioned colluding with Ji Long, is there anything more to say?"

Guo Jinghao gave a helpless bitter smile and said, "This humble subject is old and originally did not wish to join the court's struggles. However, I have too many protégés, and they all follow my lead. Now I have been forced to choose between Ji Long and His Majesty. Which side do you think I should stand on?"

"You choose to stand aside!" Xu Ping's face turned cold, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "That's your choice—to stand on the sidelines and watch the show! You want to get a share of the spoils in this conflict. If you succeed, you'll have the opportunity to reap the benefits; if you fail, you'll still be a high-ranking official in the court. As long as everything is done discreetly, is that all you need to do?"

"Yes!" Guo Jinghao nodded weakly, but said sarcastically, "This humble subject has always considered himself exceptionally intelligent, but I've made a foolish mistake at this crucial moment. Thinking about it calmly, what was I after? In terms of power, I'm already second only to the emperor, and while I'm not incredibly wealthy, my children are filial. Why would I bother stirring up this mess? It's just that I acted rashly and now I can't stop myself." "

Hmph!" Xu Ping snorted coldly, saying defiantly, "You regret it because of your family? I think you've finally realized it. Even if you could have profited from the internal strife, you wouldn't have the military power to quell the chaos, and that's why you regret your impulsive actions!"

“Yes,” Guo Jinghao blushed slightly, but quickly put on a self-deprecating tone and said, “Your Highness is absolutely right! If Ji Long really does rebel one day, even if this humble subject takes a huge risk to eliminate the victor, I will still be powerless to stabilize the situation when faced with the various armies that have already risen up. What use is stabilizing the capital? I was indeed confused about this.”

Xu Ping remained silent, looking at him coldly and saying, “Now that things have come to this, what do you plan to do? Just inciting those martial arts figures who already harbored disloyal intentions to rebel is already a serious crime, not to mention you killed the top scholar He Jin. No matter how you look at it, you can’t escape death!”

"Yes!" Guo Jinghao said, closing his eyes and trembling, "It's all my fault for being so foolish, for being driven by such intangible benefits and doing such a stupid thing. Even if I were to become emperor, what right would I have to contend with the troops of the Po Jun and Hungry Wolf Camps!"

"You're still just a civil official!" Xu Ping said sarcastically, "You've been blinded by the power in the capital. You, Guo, who's been so clever all your life, have made such a mistake. Didn't you see the fierce battles and mountains of corpses during the founding of the dynasty by our ancestors?"

"This sinful subject was foolish!" Guo Jinghao sighed deeply. His face, which had been full of dejection, suddenly perked up and tentatively said, "Your Highness, this sinful subject understands that you wouldn't have talked to me for so long if there was no way to salvage this matter! Since that's the case, I hope to atone for my sins with merit, and only ask for a peaceful old age!"

"Speak!" Xu Ping was surprised when Guo Jinghao spoke first, though his tone remained calm.

Guo Jinghao cleared his throat and said solemnly, "I hope Your Highness can guarantee that the court will not pursue these wrongdoings of this sinner!"

"And the conditions?" This was the question Xu Ping was most interested in!

Guo Jinghao cleared his throat, hesitated for a moment, and said, "This sinner dares not negotiate conditions. This sinner is willing to swear allegiance to His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince! When necessary, all matters in the capital will be arranged by His Highness the Crown Prince, and the sects and secret forces I have associated with in the martial arts world will also be at Your Highness's command!"

Xu Ping's expression turned cold, and he asked, "What do you mean by this!"

Guo Jinghao smiled slyly and said respectfully, "Naturally, it's all about ascending to the throne, and that depends entirely on Your Highness's wishes." "

Liu Qingyun!" Xu Ping called softly.

"Yes, Your Highness." Liu Qingyun broke out in a cold sweat, but still quickly responded!

"Step back!"

After Liu Qingyun retreated tremblingly, Xu Ping suddenly stood up and slapped Guo Jinghao hard across the face, cursing, "You still haven't given up your treacherous intentions! You actually incited this Crown Prince to rebel! Do you think you, Guo Jinghao, are really that important? Let me tell you, this Crown Prince would rather die as Crown Prince than do such a rebellious thing! If it weren't for the fact that you're still useful, I would kill you right now!"

Guo Jinghao groaned a few times on the ground after being hit, his old face was red and swollen, several teeth were knocked out, and blood immediately flowed from his mouth. However, his expression showed no surprise. After kneeling back, he said, "This sinful subject had no intention of harming you, Your Highness! Please investigate thoroughly!"

"Let me tell you!" Xu Ping's face turned cold, his expression twisted with malice. "Don't think you're so great just because you incited those martial arts figures. In front of the imperial army, they're nothing but small fry. It's not a good thing to think too highly of yourself. Your abilities, Guo Jinghao, lie in the court, not on the edge of a knife, understand?"

"This sinful subject understands!" Guo Jinghao lowered his head and whispered, "If this sinful subject is not mistaken, Your Highness, you have already taken action."

"That's strange!" Xu Ping didn't answer him, only grunted. Could such an unstable factor be allowed to continue developing? When he returned that night, he had already summoned all of Lou Jiu's men and assassinated them one by one, including Guo Jinghao's group of black-clad henchmen. Now Lou Jiu was secretly recruiting soldiers, and he had as many as a thousand men at his disposal. Even if the capital were to fall into chaos, this hidden force would be a very good surprise attack.

"This humble subject understands!" Guo Jinghao's expression immediately darkened. Although he was a servant, they had spent so many years together and there was still some affection between them.

"Alright!" Xu Ping waved his hand impatiently and said, "That person has nothing to do with Lord Guo, so what's there to be sad about? I came here today to bother you, and we had a very pleasant conversation, didn't we?"

Guo Jinghao naturally understood the implication and nodded, saying, "Yes, Your Highness's tolerance truly makes me ashamed."

"Get up!" Xu Ping said, chuckling slightly as he helped him up, "When are you going to call back those two little spies by my side?"

Guo Jinghao sat down obsequiously, awkwardly smiling as he asked, "So Your Highness already knew!"

"Yes!" Xu Ping was referring to Yao Lu and the other woman, his tone tinged with doubt as he said, "But I find it strange, what's the point of you placing these two women with me? They don't seem to serve any purpose, do they?"

Guo Jinghao smiled sheepishly and said, "Actually, it's nothing much, I just wanted to know Your Highness's itinerary. After all, I want to find a safe place for myself, or something useful when I want to do something, these are all steps I need to take, aren't they!"

"Hehe, you're quite straightforward!" Xu Ping chuckled, then asked after a moment's thought, "Don't you care about your daughter's condition?"

"Your Highness is a compassionate man!" Guo Jinghao smiled slyly, flattering him, "I'm completely at ease with my daughter in your hands."

Seeing his frankness, Xu Ping felt embarrassed. He'd only thought the little girl he'd lured was his daughter, but it turned out she really was! Looking at her still-childish appearance, although he hadn't seen her face clearly, she was definitely just a little kid. How could Guo Jinghao bear to make her do such a thing? This father really deserved a beating.

Seemingly sensing Xu Ping's disdain, Guo Jinghao smiled magnanimously and said, "Your Highness, why look at me like that? Actually, I know this matter can't be hidden from you and Ji Long. My daughter was just being mischievous and wanted to go, so I let her be. I believe that with your character, you wouldn't make things difficult for a defenseless young woman, would you?"

Xu Ping feigned embarrassment and said awkwardly, "I... it seems I've already slept with her."

"Really?" Guo Jinghao was pleasantly surprised. "It's truly my great fortune that Your Highness has taken a liking to my daughter!"

Xu Ping's temples throbbed. This old fox's face changed so quickly. Just a moment ago he was looking faint and lifeless, and now he's so excited. His emotions fluctuate so much; isn't he afraid of having a stroke?

Xu Ping said weakly, "Excuse me, but how old is your sister-in-law?"

Guo Jinghao smiled smugly, his old face flushed a frightening red, and said solicitously, "I have five sons and four daughters. Two of my daughters are already married. My third daughter, Wenwen, is fifteen and unmarried. My beloved daughter, Xiang'er, is thirteen." Thirteen

? So young? Xu Ping's scalp tingled, but thinking about it, it was normal. These days, fourteen or fifteen-year-olds had children, and eighteen was considered late marriage! Her daughter might be young, but she was of marriageable age.

Seeing the doubt still on Xu Ping's face, Guo Jinghao immediately explained, "Your Highness wants to ask about Qingyun, right? Actually, she's not my concubine. She calls Wenwen 'daughter' because she's Wenwen's aunt."

"Tell me about it!" Xu Ping looked at him with interest. Honestly, from the moment he first saw Liu Qingyun, he was completely captivated by her stunning beauty. He even started plotting to force Guo Jinghao to give up his beautiful wife. Now, upon hearing that she might be a virgin, his spirits lifted!

Guo Jinghao looked momentarily lost, but then, as if recalling something beautiful, he recounted, "Back then, I was young. I happened to meet a female disciple from the Hundred Flowers Palace who was traveling down the mountain. She was beautiful, kind, and charming, and we naturally became a couple. To be with me for life, she crippled all her martial arts skills in front of her master and came back to the capital with me!"

Damn it, she probably didn't expect you to have a bunch of wives and kids! If you had told me sooner, would you have lured her back like that, you old fox? Xu Ping cursed inwardly, but to learn more about Liu Qingyun, he didn't show his contempt on his face.

After a pause, Guo Jinghao's voice was filled with anguish: "We were formally married, and after our wedding night, I was as happy as if I were in a dream. But after my wife gave birth to Wenwen, her health deteriorated. I didn't want her to suffer anymore, but she felt guilty for not giving me a son. When she gave birth to Xiang'er in the third year, her health continued to decline, and soon she passed away, leaving behind two infant daughters! Before she died, she held my hand and asked me to raise these two daughters well."

"What about Liu Qingyun?" Xu Ping asked anxiously.

Guo Jinghao straightened his expression and said with relief, "Although she always acted like a concubine, I never touched her! When Baihua Palace learned of my wife's death, out of camaraderie, they wanted to take the two unborn daughters in. Naturally, I couldn't bear to be separated from my children, and that's when she came."

Xu Ping understood immediately; the people of Baihua Palace, out of consideration for their past relationship, were afraid that the two girls would be mistreated by their stepmother. These days, with so much preference for sons over daughters, their worries are understandable. It seems Liu Qingyun is here to protect these two girls. Judging by this, Wenwen's mother's status and connections before marrying Guo Jinghao were quite good.

Xu Ping pondered this, gesturing for him to continue.

Guo Jinghao sighed deeply and said, "They are my own flesh and blood, blood is thicker than water. I cherish them dearly. Although Baihua Palace is overthinking things, their kindness is genuine, and I am deeply grateful! Liu Qingyun is my wife's younger sister. After she stayed in the manor, my daughter naturally became close to her, calling her 'Mother' in public and private. They're closer than blood relatives."

"So that's when you started flirting with Baihua Palace!" Xu Ping asked directly,

secretly delighted. Judging from this, Liu Qingyun's presence here is entirely to take care of these two nieces, meaning she's probably a virgin. Wouldn't that be a boon for him? For people of this era, her age was already considered too old, but little did they know that this was precisely the prime of a woman's life, when her feminine charm was at its most radiant.

Guo Jinghao smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, they were also thinking of our shared sect. Plus, my wife was very popular before she married, which is why I have this opportunity!"

Xu Ping glanced at the time, knowing that even if he wanted to steal her away, he couldn't rush it. He stood up, looked at the now-cleaned courtyard, and said sternly, "Guo Jinghao, remember what you said today! I'll believe you for now, but if you dare to harbor any ill intentions..." He paused, half-closing his eyes at him.

Guo Jinghao stood up straight, solemnly swearing a solemn oath: "If I harbor any further disloyalty, may the heavens punish my Guo family, causing them to be childless and to die a horrible death!"

"Heh!" Xu Ping temporarily believed him, adjusting his clothes before saying, "That's for the best. Since we've finished discussing things, I'll take my leave."

"Respectfully seeing off the Crown Prince!" Guo Jinghao quickly knelt down.

"No need to be so polite!" Xu Ping chuckled, a lewd grin on his face. "In a few days, we'll all be family, so why be so formal, Father-in-law?"

"Yes, yes!" Guo Jinghao's face immediately crinkled with laughter, but then he frowned and cautiously asked, "I have two daughters. I wonder which one His Highness the Crown Prince has taken a fancy to?"

"Both!" Xu Ping glared at him, annoyed. He'd already lied and said he'd slept with his younger daughter; what was the point of asking now? A beauty like Guo Wenwen—just putting her and her sister on the bed together for a sisterly pleasure would be incredibly exciting.

Just thinking about it made Xu Ping's genitals engorged with blood!

Guo Jinghao's smiling face was like a blooming chrysanthemum, but then his expression suddenly turned fearful. He asked anxiously, "What about the Emperor? What does the Crown Prince intend to do?" Guo Jinghao's series of thoughtless actions could even be accurately detected by the Demonic Sect, let alone the Emperor's even more powerful intelligence network. Xu Ping understood that Guo Jinghao was worried about him leaving and then seeking revenge. After a moment's thought, he said seriously, "Don't worry! I'll handle things over there. But you'd better remember what you said."

"Understood!"

Guo Jinghao escorted Xu Ping to the alley entrance with great courtesy. Xu Ping refused his carriage and rode away on his own horse. By the time Guo Jinghao returned home, the stars were shining brightly, and darkness slowly enveloped the sky. The

further Xu Ping walked back, the more resentful he felt. In the matter of He Jin's murder, it was this old man who had tricked him in a roundabout way. Under his sweet talk, he had almost forgotten about it. No matter how he thought about it, he felt he had been greatly wronged. In a fit of anger, he abandoned his horse at an inn and rode back under the cover of night! Xu Ping was never one to suffer losses. Although he had given himself very respectable reasons, he couldn't deny that he still missed Liu Qingyun's captivating charm.

Whether it was her delicate appearance or the bewilderment she showed when worried about Guo Wenwen, she was undeniably captivating. Xu Ping had already made up his mind to possess this beautiful woman. To leave such a stunning beauty by Old Guo's side would be a waste of his youth, a truly extravagant act.

Under the cover of night, Xu Ping scaled the large wall and quietly slipped into the vast Prime Minister's residence, beginning his search for the beauty.

In a desolate mountain outside the capital, the Guo family's four large carriages were being washed clean of blood by the river. The men in black in the valley had been buried very securely, but the Guo family servants hadn't noticed the soil around the pit loosening. A woman, barely alive and covered in blood, dug herself out of the mud covering her body.

The little girl gritted her teeth, her twitching fingers pressing the ground as she slowly dragged her body down the mountain!

Inside the Prime Minister's residence, Xu Ping gritted his teeth in hatred! These women from the Hundred Flowers Palace are really alert! If it weren't for his high cultivation level, he would have been discovered long ago! He also had to avoid the eyes of the ordinary guards, and this place was so vast that he even got lost. Without some extraordinary means, finding Liu Qingyun was impossible.

Frustrated, Xu Ping hid on the artificial hill in the garden, pondering a plan, when suddenly his eyes lit up. Several maids were gracefully carrying exquisite dishes. Judging from the pure silver tableware and the gold-inlaid purple ore pots, these were clearly not things ordinary people could afford; they were probably delivering meals to their master.

In ancient times, families usually ate together. If food was being delivered, it could only be for a sick person or someone unable to get out of bed. This food was most likely for Guo Wenwen.

Xu Ping chuckled slyly. Finding Guo Wenwen would naturally lead to finding Liu Qingyun. He immediately and secretly followed them, following the maze-like long corridor to a large courtyard. Xu Ping hid in a corner, secretly watching.

Several maids knocked on the door, but it was none other than that old fox, Guo Jinghao, who opened it. The man was flushed, his clothes disheveled, clearly engaged in what men love most; one could vaguely see the white flesh on the bed inside!

Damn it, this guy talks so passionately about his wife! I just left, and he's already having sex with a woman—how fucking exciting! Xu Ping cursed him a thousand times, and was about to leave in frustration when he made an unexpected discovery. In the main hall's corridor, Yao Lu walked gracefully towards them; it seemed Guo Jinghao had summoned her back!

But strangely, leading the way was the little girl Yao Shuiru, with Yao Lu and the other girls from the Hundred Flowers Palace following respectfully behind her!

What was going on? This girl seemed to have a very high status. Just as Xu Ping was wondering, a glint of light flashed in Yao Shuiru's eyes.

"Who!"

A melodious shout, as beautiful as a celestial murmur, rang out. Yao Shuiru, barely a meter tall, instantly unleashed an astonishing aura. With her cry, a white, flowing sleeve shot straight towards the tree where Xu Ping was hiding.

Damn it, how did she discover me here! Xu Ping cursed inwardly and quickly dodged, but he hadn't expected this little wench to already possess Earth-grade strength in her attack. The seemingly soft silk was now sharper than a dagger, instantly snapping a tree as thick as a water bucket in two.

As the leaves fell, Xu Ping leaped onto the wall, but before he even landed, a sharp whooshing sound came from all directions, and he hurriedly dodged. Strands of silk threads shot out, piercing the brick wall with incredible force. With a pull back, the once sturdy wall collapsed instantly! The combined attack of over a dozen Hundred Flowers Palace disciples was truly astonishing; in their hands, these tiny threads were like deadly weapons, capable of penetrating anything. Xu Ping finally understood why even a powerful sect like the Green Robe Sect was wary of the Hundred Flowers Palace's strength.

Thirty-five stratagems, none of them are as practical as running away! Xu Ping frantically dodged and weaved, while the trees in the courtyard were torn to shreds by the silk threads!

"Where do you think you're going, you thief!" Yao Shuiru shouted, her petite, childlike figure the first to give chase, her speed astonishing.

"Grandmaster!" The other disciples caught up immediately.

"Be careful, we're using a diversionary tactic. You all stay here and guard," Yao Shuiru called out in her delicate voice, immediately chasing after Xu Ping in the direction he had fled.

"Yes!" The disciples exchanged glances, seemingly confident in Yao Shuiru's strength, none of them showing the slightest worry.

Xu Ping's mind was filled with questions. Yao Shuiru looked no more than eight or nine years old, how could she be their grandmaster? Wasn't that their grandmother's generation? Damn, could she be some ancient monster who had lived for thousands of years? Despite his thoughts, he knew instinctively that she was faster than him. Xu Ping knew that he had already alerted the Guo family and even the guards of other officials in the alley, so it was more practical to make a run for it.

He finally made it outside. Although he wasn't as fast as her, relying on his familiarity with the terrain, Xu Ping weaved through the streets and alleys, making it impossible for her to catch up! Perhaps not wanting to alert too many people, Yao Shuiru simply followed behind, without making a move.

Having finally reached the outskirts of Beijing, Xu Ping felt relieved that no one was chasing him anymore. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he saw Yao Shuiru's petite, childlike figure reappear. Although her light steps and flowing dress made her look beautiful, this haunting presence was no solution!

Damn it! This woman had followed him across most of Beijing. Even outside the suburbs, she was still following him—was she trying to rob him?!

A thought flashed through his mind, and Xu Ping quickly disappeared into a grove of trees. Yao Shuiru, unfazed, quickly vanished into the branches.

The two moved like ghosts through the trees, Yao Shuiru's light body nimbly leaping like a mountain fairy! But she followed at a leisurely pace, impossible to shake off, which infuriated Xu Ping to the point of wanting to curse.

Only when they reached a relatively open area did Xu Ping stop, unable to resist turning around and cursing, "Damn it, how long are you planning to follow me? Even if I'm just taking a dump, you'll follow me!"

In Chapter Six of Episode Seven, the Hundred-Year-Old Abbess

Yao Shui Ru gently landed on a tree branch, looking down at Xu Ping. Her cute, youthful smile seemed surprisingly mature. She casually adjusted her skirt and said sweetly, "So it's Your Highness the Crown Prince. May I ask what brings you to the Guo residence so late at night?"

"Late night my ass!" Xu Ping cursed fiercely, "That old bastard Guo Jinghao is still in bed with his wife. What kind of late night is this? You've been following me for ages, are you ever going to stop?!"

"Hehe!" Yao Shui Ru smiled sweetly and said sweetly, "If Your Highness had revealed your identity earlier, I wouldn't have risked being accused of disrespect to chase you so far."

"Stop with the polite talk!" Xu Ping glared at her fiercely. "You've been eating and drinking my food for two months now, and you still don't recognize me? Don't tell me you're severely nearsighted!"

"What do you mean by nearsighted?" Yao Shuiru looked completely confused, her already youthful face looking even more innocent with that expression.

"..." Xu Ping didn't want to explain. He was annoyed by his tendency to slip into modern slang so easily; it was an instinct he'd had for over ten years. But he still said irritably, "Now that you see it's me, are you still going to follow me?"

"This humble woman must thank Your Highness for your kindness!" Yao Shuiru smiled gently and said, "If it weren't for your kindness, my apprentice and I wouldn't have been able to stay in your residence for so long!"

"Damn it, can you stop with the nonsense!" Xu Ping was about to lose it.

"Okay!"

With a crisp "okay," Yao Shuiru's small figure suddenly disappeared into the tree! Her speed was unbelievable. Xu Ping was startled and quickly took a step back, only then seeing her smilingly standing in front of him. Although she only reached his waist, she appeared incredibly tall, and her faint smile gave off an unfathomable aura.

"Young Master, be careful!" Yao Shui Ru spoke in a playful and cute tone, but quickly stepped forward and extended her delicate little hand towards Xu Ping.

"Damn!"

Xu Ping couldn't see her cultivation level at all. This little hand was so soft, it felt like she was about to touch him. In a panic, he quickly reached out to block, but was forced back several steps by the seemingly soft hand.

"Hehe, not bad!" As Yao Shui Ru's delicate laughter rang out, her eerie figure moved, and that soft little hand reappeared in front of Xu Ping.

This time, Xu Ping dared not take it head-on and quickly dodged, but the little hand seemed to be fixated on him, once again approaching his chest. Left with no other option, Xu Ping blocked again. Although her movements seemed slow, they left him no opening to attack.

Yao Shuiru's posture was clumsy, like a child walking towards you with outstretched hands. She showed no trace of internal strength, yet with this simple contact, Xu Ping couldn't withstand the heavy pressure from her soft palm. He stumbled and was forced back more than ten feet, almost falling to the ground.

"Is this your mid-level Earth Rank?" Yao Shuiru's voice was still delicate, but the sarcasm was unmistakable.

"Damn it!" Xu Ping was also enraged, assuming a defensive stance and looking at her warily! For the first time, he felt like a mouse being toyed with, not only worried about his own safety but also enduring the disdainful gaze of the "cat." Although he wanted to resist, he felt utterly powerless. It was as if the person before him wasn't a small child, but an extremely powerful deity. He was shocked that she was so calm and composed when she attacked!

Yao Shuiru smiled quietly, looking at Xu Ping without saying a word. Her cute, pink, doll-like face and flowing long hair appeared even more petite and charming as the night breeze caressed her. Although she was only about a meter tall, which looked a bit awkward, she exuded the aura of a mature woman.

But in Xu Ping's eyes, her beautiful smile seemed like a provocation. After holding back for a while, he couldn't bear the heavy pressure any longer! Xu Ping roared and charged forward, throwing a straight punch at her face!

"The Shi family's Cross Fist, huh? It's been a long time since I've seen such profound martial arts!" Yao Shuiru said playfully, her tone slightly surprised.

"Nonsense!" Xu Ping watched his fist about to hit her face, but looking at her delicate, pretty face, he couldn't bear it.

"Too bad you're just a pretty face!" With a sweet, soft laugh, Yao Shuiru's small figure vanished like a ghost. In a moment of shock, Xu Ping felt a light touch on his waist, but the force was too much for his tall frame to handle, sending him flying forward more than ten meters, landing face-first in the dirt!

"Damn it!" Xu Ping was furious, his brain practically boiling. Though he was disheveled, he wasn't injured at all. This woman was deliberately trying to torment him! He'd rather die than live today than send troops to raze her Hundred Flowers Palace, dragging everyone from the palace master to the disciples to his mansion, raping them first, then sodomizing them!

"Why is Your Highness so angry?"

Just as Xu Ping was cursing, he was suddenly startled by the innocent child's voice beside him. Turning his head, he saw that she had somehow squatted down beside him, her little hands supporting her cute face, looking at him with a puzzled expression. That childlike face alone was enough to make him unable to get angry, and now her innocent look was even more infuriating.

"Damn it, what do you want?" Xu Ping sat up cross-legged, refusing to stand up no matter what. Since he couldn't beat her, he might as well resort to being a rogue.

"I didn't mean anything by it!" Yao Shuiru said playfully, looking at Xu Ping with a grin. "I've been staying in your house for so long and haven't even said a word to you! I just found it amusing to see you busy all day."

"Amusing my foot!" Xu Ping retorted irritably. "Aren't you afraid that if you come out, Old Man Guo's safety will be in danger?"

"I stayed with you for two months, and nothing happened to him!" Yao Shuiru smiled slyly and said, "But you really are quite amusing. I see you acting all dissolute all day long, but you don't seem to have done anything out of line. You're as stingy as a miser, yet you're willing to help so many refugees. It's really incomprehensible."

Xu Ping glared at her, stood up, brushed the dust off his clothes, and said irritably, "Enough! You've been a spy for me for so long. How dare you say that!"

"That's not it!" Yao Shuiru looked at Xu Ping with a pitiful expression, saying, "I was just really bored, so I ran out to play. Then I ran into Yao Lu going to your mansion, and I just went along on a whim. But there's nothing fun to do, and I'm bored too!"

"Spit it out!" Xu Ping turned his head away impatiently.

Yao Shuiru slowly stood up, smiling, and said, "It's nothing, I just want to stay in your mansion, okay? And please don't expose me. I can continue to play with others, but don't make them do those maid's chores."

"Damn, do you think that's possible?" Xu Ping couldn't help but curse. Having a monster with such high cultivation levels in the mansion was like having a bomb. Judging by her skills, even the guards, Uncle Liu, and himself wouldn't be a match for her!

"Please!" Yao Shuiru suddenly changed her playful demeanor, grabbing Xu Ping's hand and shaking it like a child pleading, her little face full of entreaty. "I have nowhere else to go to play, staying in the Prime Minister's residence is so boring. That person keeps calling me 'Grandmaster' and 'Senior,' but he's too scared to play with me! Please!"

"Wait!" Xu Ping was almost dizzy from her charm and pitiful appearance. Just as he was about to say "okay," he snapped out of it, looking at her short stature (only reaching his waist) and adorable childlike face with a puzzled expression. "How old are you this year? How come you look like such a little kid! And what exactly is your relationship with the Hundred Flowers Palace? Why do they call you 'Grandmaster'?"

"Wait, let me calculate!" Yao Shuiru innocently held up her fingers and started counting, sometimes frowning, sometimes looking completely bewildered, which was quite adorable. After a while, she said apologetically, "I should be 170 years old, right? Sometimes when I'm in seclusion for too long, I can't remember!"

Xu Ping rolled his eyes on the spot. 170 years old? What kind of monster is that!

"What's wrong?" Yao Shuiru still looked innocent.

"What's your name?" Xu Ping asked weakly, "Why are you in such a daze?"

"It's all from practicing martial arts!" Yao Shuiru pouted, looking like she was angry, but it also gave her a more delicate and cute feeling: "The martial arts I practice is something I obtained by chance when I was a child. When I reach a certain level, I have to go into seclusion. At first, it was ten days or a month, but it got longer and longer over time. The last time I went into seclusion was twenty years ago, and I only woke up half a year ago."

"What kind of martial arts?" Xu Ping asked curiously, his eyes wide.

"It's a secret!" Yao Shuiru looked at Xu Ping with a mischievous grin. "But my old name was Miaoyin. You can call me Master Miaoyin."

"You're Master Miaoyin!" Xu Ping was immediately speechless, his hands trembling. "Weren't you quite grown up twenty years ago? How did you become like this in the blink of an eye?"

So his uncle really did like monsters! Judging by the timeline he mentioned, she was a beautiful woman back then. How did she become a child now?

"I don't know. I turned into this after my seclusion!" Miaoyin said with a bitter face, looking aggrieved. "I used to think that practicing this martial art would grant immortality, and my appearance always changed around twenty or thirty years old. But I never expected to turn into a ten-year-old child." For

convenience, he'd call her Miaoyin from now on.

"..." Xu Ping was speechless, thinking she was simply an innocent and adorable child. She told him everything when asked a question. Was she really that easy to fool? Her cultivation was so high, but her mind seemed a little immature, perfectly matching her childlike body.

"Hehe!" Miaoyin chuckled as she stepped forward and asked, "Aren't you curious about the Hundred Flowers Palace and Lord Guo's affairs?"

"Yes!" Xu Ping nodded firmly. The strength of the Hundred Flowers Palace was evident from the formidable skills of its young female disciples, and with the addition of this nearly two-hundred-year-old monster still alive, their power was almost astonishing, enough to send chills down one's spine just thinking about it.

"Hehe!" Miaoyin seemed unreserved, more like she was venting her frustrations: "I don't really know what happened to the Hundred Flowers Palace. They used to just take in a few little kids, but after I came out of seclusion, they inexplicably started the Hundred Flowers Palace, and then it just kept getting bigger and bigger. It's so annoying with all this 'Master' stuff. I wanted to run away, but I didn't know where to go! After coming out of seclusion, I didn't recognize the roads, and all the people I knew before are dead. I couldn't find anyone to keep me company, so I went to the Guo residence out of boredom."

"Alright!" Xu Ping didn't want to have anything more to do with her, so he quickly got up and said, "You should go back to him, old man. My temple is too small to accommodate a great bodhisattva like you."

"No way! I'll just follow you, I won't cause trouble!" Miaoyin started to whine in her childlike voice, so sweet it made one's bones melt.

Having already found out what he wanted to know, Xu Ping's first thought was to make a run for it. He had unexpectedly run into such a cunning old monster, and what was worse, she was pretending to be young. If he didn't run away quickly, she might play him to death on a whim. Having

made up his mind, Xu Ping suddenly stood up and ran away at his fastest speed.

Seeing Miao Yin standing there with a disappointed look on her face, gazing at him resentfully, Xu Ping was embarrassed by her expression, but he continued running without looking back.

What a joke! Keeping such a master in the manor—if she got angry, would he even survive? Besides, she used to be on Guo Jinghao's side, making it even less safe!

Once in the city, he carefully circled around, making sure she wasn't following him before daring to return to the manor. It was the middle of the night, and the girls were already asleep. Xu Ping instructed the maid to prepare some food to fill his poor stomach. He had just breathed a sigh of relief and opened his room door when he was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

Everything in his room was normal, except for one thing: Miaoyin was sitting casually in a chair, swinging her jade-like white legs and grinning at him.

Xiaomi, on the other hand, looked utterly astonished!

Xu Ping wanted to smash his head in. This woman knew his house; what good was running away? She would come back on her own. What to do now? He couldn't beat her! Should he really send in the army to wipe out this monster? He'd probably be killed by her before the army even arrived.

"Damn it!" Xu Ping cursed as he entered, already pondering how to get rid of this formidable woman!

Xiaomi, blushing, approached and asked, puzzled, "Master, do you really want her to serve you tonight?"

Spitting blood, he stared at Miaoyin's flat figure. Xu Ping would rather rape Qiao'er than have any intention of having sex with her; this was definitely something she made up! That vicious woman! Wanting to deny it but feeling it inappropriate, Xu Ping could only nod reluctantly and mumble, "Hmm!"

The maids brought the dishes, and Xiao Mi said worriedly from the side, "Master, shouldn't you consider this? Shui Ru is so young, can she withstand your favor?"

"What is favor?" Yao Shui Ru asked, feigning innocence.

"Nothing!" Xiao Mi blushed and stepped forward, asking softly, "By the way, where did your aunt go?"

Xu Ping didn't want so many things to be exposed, so he quickly took over, saying, "I gave her a task; she won't be back for a while."

"Oh!" Xiao Mi responded, watching Xu Ping sit down and eat his meal with gritted teeth, his brow furrowed in worry, wondering what had happened.

Miaoyin seemed completely oblivious to Xu Ping's gloom, still innocently and adorably eating dinner with him, sometimes even trying to please Xiao Mi.

Xu Ping was annoyed! After wiping his mouth, he said to Xiao Mi, "Forget it, she's too young to serve in bed. I'll go somewhere else tonight!"

"Okay!" Xiao Mi nodded obediently, asking, "Which master's? I'll go prepare hot water for your bath."

Xu Ping thought for a while, then said, "Ningxue's."

"I'll go prepare it right away!" Xiao Mi responded and went out. As soon as

she left, Xu Ping glared fiercely at Miaoyin, asking each word clearly, "What do you want?"

"I didn't mean any harm!" Miaoyin looked at Xu Ping pitifully, her voice trembling with tears, "I'm just a servant, I only sleep on a hard bed. If I didn't say I was here to serve in bed, the guards at the door wouldn't let me in!"

"You—" Xu Ping was so angry he almost rolled his eyes. The guards wouldn't let you in? With your abnormally high martial arts skills, killing them all wouldn't be a problem! "I'm not a pedophile, you're ruining my reputation!

" "Don't be angry!" Miaoyin looked at Xu Ping pitifully, saying with a satisfied yet aggrieved expression, "I just wanted to find a nice place to stay, and after thinking about it, your room is the best in the mansion. I've decided to stay here temporarily. Anyway, your bed is so big, we can squeeze in."

"No thanks, you should rest well!" Xu Ping got up weakly and ran away. Sleeping with you, even if I were to lose my temper, I couldn't rape you. If you sleepwalked and punched me a few times, I could be a funeral party by tomorrow morning. Xu Ping

fled like a madman; the room was occupied by this pervert. Xu Ping thought and thought, but he couldn't do anything about her. Make a scene? That would cause a lot of trouble. Fight? Even if Uncle Liu and the others ganged up on her, she wouldn't stand a chance. He could only endure it for now!

Hearing the childish, smug laughter from inside the room, Xu Ping gritted his teeth in anger, suppressing his rage as he walked towards Cheng Ningxue's room.

Xu Ping was practically weeping blood. How could he have provoked such an old vixen! She was clearly over a hundred years old, yet she acted like a ten-year-old child—what was she pretending to be so young for?! And she even occupied his room! Was there no justice?

Xu Ping was extremely frustrated, so frustrated he wanted to bang his head against the wall and die. Who was to blame? The first one to blame was definitely that old fox, Guo Jinghao! He had to invite such a monster! If he weren't outmatched, Xu Ping would have already attacked! He was still wondering about this old vixen's cultivation level. With his mid-level Earth Rank strength, he was being toyed with like a child!

He couldn't help but shudder. Having lived for one hundred and seventy years, just how powerful was this old vixen? After thinking for a moment, Xu Ping angrily turned around and secretly ran out of the mansion without saying a word to anyone.

He easily found his way to the small courtyard where Guo Xiang'er was imprisoned. Only after confirming no one was following him did Xu Ping gently knock four times on the door.

"Who is it!" A wary, deep male voice came from inside.

"Damn it!" Xu Ping couldn't help but curse, but first he gave the code: "I'm here to solicit a prostitute!"

There was a moment of silence inside, and then the door slowly opened. It was Lou Jiu himself who opened the door. Because he felt that Guo Xiang'er's matter was more important, Xu Ping had specifically instructed him to bring a group of experts to guard this place after he finished his business. After witnessing the skills of the disciples of Baihua Palace, Xu Ping felt that this measure was correct! But to be honest, if Abbess Miaoyin came to snatch her herself, Xu Ping didn't think Lou Jiu and his group would be a match for her.

After welcoming Xu Ping in, Lou Jiu quickly closed the door after checking that no one was around. He said with a wry smile, "Master, all the previous codes were fine! Why change them to these lewd phrases?"

"I wanted to!" Xu Ping glared at him and asked, "How is she?"

Lou Jiu led the way, saying, "She's alright, but she's eating very little! Judging from her appearance, she must be from a wealthy family. She eats and drinks very slowly and politely. She also seems unaccustomed to this environment; she's still in a daze. She doesn't seem like anyone special!"

"I see!"

Xu Ping thought to himself, what hardships could Old Guo's daughter have endured? She's been pampered in a greenhouse since childhood. However, hearing that Guo Wenwen used her own savings and jewelry to help the disaster victims, and that her sister also contributed her own savings, and that the two sisters were helping the refugees together, his impression of them improved considerably! This girl only did this on a whim, ultimately out of girlish curiosity. She probably regrets it now!

Opening the door to the secret room, Xu Ping frowned at the unpleasant odor emanating from within. It was truly remarkable that such a pampered young girl hadn't cried or made a fuss after being in such a place for so long.

In a corner, Guo Xiang'er huddled listlessly. Suddenly seeing a handsome young man with fair skin enter, she was momentarily stunned! Slightly nervous, she timidly asked, "Who are you? Where is that senior from last night?"

Xu Ping chuckled inwardly; he had only called her "boss" a few times, and she already thought he was an old man. However, he didn't want to explain too much to her at this moment. He smiled and walked over, squatted down behind her, and saw that she was still wearing a veil. She looked very nervous. He couldn't help but tease her, saying, "That old man has already sold you to me. Hehe! He said you are a beautiful young girl. I came to check the goods."

"What?" Guo Xiang'er was immediately stunned and hurriedly explained, "No, you must be mistaken! I have an appointment with your sect leader and I have something to talk to him about. I'm not some girl selling herself."

"Talk about what!" Xu Ping chuckled, lewdly scanning her delicate body, and said, "The youngest daughter of Guo Jinghao, a high-ranking official of the first rank, tsk tsk! Just this identity alone can fetch a good price. I'm very interested! How could I bear to let you go? You stay by my side as a concubine, and I will definitely not mistreat you."

"What Guo Jinghao? I don't know him!" Guo Xiang'er was immediately startled, but still stubbornly argued.

"Hehe, admit it or not, it's up to you!" Xu Ping chuckled lewdly. For some reason, he found the girl's childish voice, brimming with panic, particularly endearing.

"What exactly do you want!" Although young, Guo Xiang'er understood the gravity of rebellion. She immediately raised her head stubbornly, staring intently at Xu Ping with flustered eyes, though her gaze was uncertain and wavering.

"Nothing!" Xu Ping didn't want to tease her anymore. After chuckling a few times, he extended his hand to her and said gently, "You can go now. I'm here to rescue you!"

"No, I don't know you!" Guo Xiang'er frantically waved her hands.

Xu Ping was thoroughly amused by her. She was clearly a girl still quite young; so clever last night, yet now she was showing her childlike nature, looking so lost and helpless, utterly pitiful. After all, she was his future wife, so it was best to see what she looked like first. Xu Ping suddenly reached out and yanked off her veil!

"Ah!" Guo Xiang'er cried out in surprise, frantically trying to cover her face, but it was too late. Xu Ping had a clear view of her delicate features!

Her long, loose black hair had a soft, pleasing quality typical of young girls. Her round, slightly chubby, doll-like face was incredibly cute, and she did indeed resemble Guo Wenwen somewhat! Her bright eyes were filled with fear, her delicate nose was pert and upturned, and her small, rosy lips revealed her childlike charm. A true little beauty in the making, already so beautiful and charming at only thirteen; what would she be like when she grew up?

Come to think of it, Guo Wenwen is so beautiful, how could her twin sister be any less so! However, she even has a bit of a cute, childlike version of Liu Qingyun, making her even more endearing. Xu Ping looked at her, clicking his tongue in admiration, "You're quite cute too! I almost don't want you to leave!"

Faced with the praise of a handsome young man, Xu Ping couldn't hide his affection. The naive Guo Xiang'er couldn't bear it and immediately lowered her head in embarrassment. Still not believing Xu Ping, she stubbornly asked, "Where are the people from your sect? Weren't you supposed to talk to me? Why haven't they come out yet?"

Xu Ping slowly reached out, lifting her chin to examine her still-childlike face. He could almost feel the little girl's nervous heartbeat emanating from her hot, delicate skin! The more he looked at her, the cuter she seemed, but he didn't want to tease her too much.

He chuckled and said, "The Demonic Sect members? I've already wiped them out! I'm here to take you home, Miss Guo Xiang'er." Guo Xiang'er was stunned, as if recalling the scene of her entire family being killed for plotting a rebellion. Her cute little face instantly turned deathly pale.

Xu Ping slowly lifted her seemingly boneless, soft body in his arms. Looking at her panicked little face, he felt a surge of pity and gently comforted her, "Don't worry, nothing will happen! Your father was just using this opportunity to lure out those traitors and help the court eliminate them in one fell swoop. He's not a criminal, he's a loyal minister of the court!"

"You...you're lying!" Guo Xiang'er's thin lips trembled as she spoke, clearly not believing Xu Ping, but the more she looked at him, the more familiar the handsome and masculine face seemed.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you!"

Xu Ping held her, feeling the little girl's small but bouncy buttocks. As they left the courtyard, Lou Jiu had already discreetly led his men away, though he knew they were hiding somewhere protecting him. With a satisfied smile, he carried the still uneasy Guo Xiangwen out of the courtyard.

A carriage was already waiting outside. Lou Jiu glanced at it briefly before quickly getting out and helping Xu Ping open the curtain.

He carried her into the carriage, and seeing Guo Xiangwen still shaken and uneasy, Xu Ping couldn't help but chuckle. The thought of this thirteen-year-old girl soon becoming his bride, bearing his children, was amusing. He wondered if her innocent little head was truly prepared for wife and motherhood; he hoped she wouldn't be scared to tears on their wedding night!

"What's wrong?" With the swaying of the carriage, Xu Ping couldn't resist reaching out and affectionately pinching her little nose.

Guo Xiangwen slowly came to her senses, a blush quickly spreading across her face. She asked timidly, "Where are you taking me?"

"Home, of course!" Xu Ping was exasperated. Seeing her shifty, wary eyes, it seemed she still didn't believe him.

"I...I'm not Guo Xiang'er!" she stubbornly persisted.

Xu Ping shrugged indifferently, and taking advantage of her momentary lapse in attention, he suddenly pounced on her, pinning her petite body beneath him. Looking at the barely concealed panic in her bright eyes, he leered and asked, "You really aren't?"

"N-no," Guo Xiang'er stammered, terrified. From childhood, she had always stayed obediently at home. Even when she occasionally went out, she was always treated with utmost respect by the children of officials, never daring to speak even slightly provocatively. How could she have ever been so intimately involved with a man?

Xu Ping chuckled, pressing down further, his body pressed against hers, exuding a girlish fragrance. Staring directly into her eyes, he noticed the little girl was embarrassed by his gaze and turned her head away shyly. Despite her young age, she already understood the proper etiquette between men and women, and seemed to be a well-mannered young lady from a respectable family. Her shy and bashful appearance was truly alluring.

"That's good then, I have nothing to hold back now!" Xu Ping said with a lewd grin, and then, under her questioning gaze, he suddenly grabbed her small head and pulled it towards him. Looking at her soft, delicate red lips, he couldn't resist any longer and kissed her fiercely.

"Ugh!" Guo Xiang'er froze for a moment, feeling the man's hot lips already on hers. She struggled in fear, her small feet kicking the wooden planks of the carriage with a thud.

Xu Ping wasn't in a hurry at all; she couldn't resist anyway! He first kissed and licked her thin lips, and seeing that she stubbornly refused to open her mouth, he didn't force her. His tongue traveled down her small mouth, kissing all the way to her fair and slender neck. It seemed that she hadn't bathed all day, as there was a faint smell of sweat, but it couldn't hide the soft fragrance unique to a young girl.

"No, no... no!"

Guo Xiangwen struggled frantically, her small mouth agape as she cried for help. Her little hands pushed against Xu Ping, but to no avail. No matter how hard she tried, Xu Ping remained unmoved, continuing to nibble at her delicate, white neck, even brazenly licking it several times with his tongue.

"No, please, please don't do this!" Guo Xiangwen was filled with fear, and being so young, she couldn't possibly imagine anything erotic. She pitifully begged Xu Ping, her eyes red and swollen.

Taking advantage of the moment her mouth was open, Xu Ping immediately kissed her again. Afraid she might bite him in her nervousness, he didn't immediately extend his tongue to savor her sweet scent, but instead licked her pearly white teeth, which seemed to carry a pleasant fragrance, gently touching her gums.

"Ugh..." Guo Xiangwen couldn't make a sound, only protesting by patting Xu Ping's shoulder with her small hands.

Xu Ping felt a surge of pride, as if he could almost smell a strange, faint fragrance emanating from her mouth, a scent perfectly suited to her age, making him even more eager to savor the aroma from her small lips!

As Guo Xiang'er struggled nervously, Xu Ping, seeing she couldn't bite down, quickly moved his tongue over, gently licking her mouth. After a while, he finally captured her stiff, tense little tongue, which remained motionless even when Xu Ping held it in his mouth. Her delicate tongue, like her small lips, was small, moist, and carried a captivating warmth.

Xu Ping pressed her tightly down, sucking on her little tongue for a while, finding the girl's fragrance incredibly alluring. This impulse was rare; he shouldn't normally like girls too young, but for some reason, her pitiful appearance aroused his lust, making him want to cherish this exquisite little beauty beneath him.

"No!" Guo Xiang'er, too terrified to enjoy the beauty of her first kiss, was instead filled with the sorrow of no longer being a virgin. She weakly uttered the word through clenched teeth, then burst into tears with a loud "Wah!"

Two hot tears immediately streamed down her face as Guo Xiang'er sobbed loudly in grievance. The little girl's fear was palpable. Xu Ping panicked, quickly sitting up and holding her small body in his arms, patting her back and comforting her, "Don't cry! What's there to cry about?"

Only then did Guo Xiang'er truly act like a child, wailing and sniffling without saying a word. Between sobs, she pounded on Xu Ping's chest!

"Okay, okay! I was wrong." Xu Ping was most afraid of girls crying, especially since she was so young. Just that pitiful childish voice was unbearable. He quickly comforted her, "Little miss, please don't cry. If you don't cry, you can do whatever you want."

Guo Xiang'er still didn't speak, continuing to wail loudly! It seemed as if she was releasing the fear of the past two days through tears. Ignoring the fact that Xu Ping was teasing her, she buried her little head in Xu Ping's arms and just kept crying. Headache! It's okay

to comfort a woman, but comforting a child is a bit difficult. Xu Ping was so anxious that he kept scratching his head. What was wrong with him tonight? Even when he saw Qiao'er, that invincible little brat, he wasn't so impulsive. Why was he so impulsive when he saw Guo Xiang'er? Was it because he was tricked by Master Miaoyin? Did he develop a vengeful mentality towards girls this age? That damned old witch really caused a lot of trouble.

Xu Ping's head was spinning from listening to the deafening crying. He didn't expect that this little girl's body was so small, but her decibels were so loud! She was crying so hard she was almost fainting. No wonder everyone says children are hard to raise; crying like this all day long, who could stand it?

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the Prime Minister's residence. Guo Xiang'er didn't seem to notice, still sobbing uncontrollably. Xu Ping couldn't push her away, thinking, "Is it really necessary to make such a fuss over just a kiss? I'm not a pig." Looking at her pitiful little face, he couldn't bring himself to get angry. Helplessly, he could only sigh and hold her, gently comforting her while enduring the torment of her high-decibel sobs.

After a while, the crying gradually subsided, replaced by even and sweet breathing. Xu Ping looked down and was immediately amused and exasperated. The little girl had actually cried herself to sleep in his arms. She's just a child after all. Isn't she afraid that I might get a little "sexually aroused" and rape her? Really.

His chest was wet with tears. Xu Ping smiled helplessly and picked up her soft little body. As she alighted from the carriage, she saw that someone was already respectfully waiting at the gate!

Liu Qingyun, leading a group of disciples from the Hundred Flowers Palace, waited outside. Seeing Lou Jiu's wary expression and the invisible murderous aura emanating from him, and noticing the carriage seemed familiar, she realized it had stopped right in front of her house. The sound of her daughter crying meant the Crown Prince must have brought her back. Although her heart ached at the sound of Guo Xiang'er's sobs, she dared not approach rashly.

As soon as the carriage curtain opened, Xu Ping saw this beautiful woman and instantly perked up. He wanted to tease her, but the occasion seemed inappropriate. His face was filled with a helpless, bitter smile. He looked at Guo Xiang'er, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and said, "Your daughter is really troublesome. She's been crying for most of the day!"

"Thank you for your trouble, Your Highness!" Liu Qingyun took her daughter from Xu Ping's arms with heartache. At first, hearing her childish cries, she thought Xu Ping had violated her little body in the carriage, but now, seeing that her clothes were only slightly disheveled and there were no signs of rape, she breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little guilty for worrying too much.

"Your Highness!" Just as Liu Qingyun was about to pull her hand away, she found that Xu Ping was holding her hand tightly. With so many people around, it would be awkward.

Xu Ping leered at her soft, boneless hand, squeezing it a few times to savor its smooth texture. Pretending nothing was wrong, he said with a hidden meaning, "Be careful, you can't break such delicate skin."

"Yes!" Liu Qingyun blushed and struggled to pull her hand back, her tone slightly annoyed. "Thank you, Your Highness, for escorting me back. It's late, and as a lowly woman, I'm not comfortable entertaining you. Please go back and rest early."

"Hehe, what's the rush!" Xu Ping glanced at the group of girls behind her, clicking his tongue in admiration. While the female disciples of the Hundred Flowers Palace didn't possess the striking beauty of her or the Guo sisters, they were all still lovely and charming!

"Your Highness, I take my leave!" Seeing Xu Ping's lecherous gaze upon her sisters, Liu Qingyun was instantly embarrassed and angry, but she still gave a perfunctory bow and turned to leave.

"Okay!" Xu Ping readily agreed, swiftly snatching a hairpin from her hair that still seemed warm from his touch!

"You?" Liu Qingyun glared at Xu Ping, her hand touching it, and immediately realized her beloved ornament had been taken.

Xu Ping proudly waved the delicate hairpin, saying softly, "Keep this as a souvenir!"

"No!" Liu Qingyun's attitude was surprisingly firm.

"Hehe, I was just telling you, not asking for your consent." Xu Ping said domineeringly, putting the hairpin in his pocket, and said meaningfully, "I'll consider returning it when I see you again." With that

, ignoring Liu Qingyun's alluring anger and embarrassment, he got into his carriage and drove away!

Liu Qingyun sighed helplessly, looking tenderly at Guo Xiang'er, who was sleeping like a kitten in her arms, and murmured, "Never mind, as long as you're alright! Let's go back to sleep."

"Senior Sister!" One of the younger disciples couldn't hold back any longer and stood up, saying indignantly, "You just let this scoundrel go like that! Even if he's the Crown Prince, so what? You can't treat someone like that!"

"Let's go!" Liu Qingyun seemed to have let it go, smiling gently as she said, "My Puppet Voice is useless against him. Now that Grandmaster isn't here, do you think we can do anything to him? Even if we could, so what? Do you want to brand Hundred Flowers Palace with a treasonous charge?"

The disciples had no choice but to follow Liu Qingyun back to the manor.

Guo Xiang'er remained sweetly asleep in Liu Qingyun's arms, completely unaware that at such a young age, she and her sister were about to become someone else's bride, the bride of the same man, who was infatuated with their beloved aunt!

Xu Ping inhaled the scent of the hairpins along the way, as if a faint fragrance was teasing his sense of smell! Just like smelling Liu Qingyun's alluring body directly, Xu Ping's face was full of intoxication, and he was already planning how to win over this beauty. To encounter such a stunning beauty and not be moved would be unmanly!

Although some women were beautiful, and the palace was not lacking in young and beautiful girls, Xu Ping still insisted that a relationship based on genuine feeling was the best. What defines a woman? Like Lin Ziyan, Liu Ziyi, or his aunt, once you see her, her image will be on your mind during sex. When you witness their captivating charm, your entire body will be soft except for one part that is hard.

What defines a girl? Zhao Ling's obedience and intelligence, Xiao Mi's gentleness and loveliness, Cheng Ningxue's stubbornness and strength, and his niece Yu Chen's passionate love and hate. They constantly exude the flavor of youth and vibrant energy, making one want to cherish them. This is the charm of young girls.

As for Luo Ji, Qiao'er's mischievousness, Guo Wenwen's innocence and cuteness, and Miaoyin Shita's youthful and tender... Ugh! How could he be fantasizing like that, and then suddenly think of that old monster again! Xu Ping couldn't help but curse himself inwardly

. If he were really interested in her, it wouldn't just be pedophilia, it would be a love story between a human and a ghost. But thinking about how Liu Qingyun was originally calm last night, and how she was a little annoyed by his teasing, Xu Ping smiled smugly. He gestured to Lou Jiu to go back, and then strolled back home alone. By the time he got home, it was already dark. Thinking about Cheng Ningxue, whose virginity he had taken last night, and the sensual feeling of her large breasts swaying beneath him, he felt an itch and went straight to her room. He could

still hear the sounds of laughter and chatter coming from inside. He pushed open the door and saw Cheng Ningxue sitting at the table, wrapped in a thick robe like a sick person, seemingly discussing something amusing.

Xiaomi sat obediently to one side, listening with great interest as she recounted the interesting tales of the martial world.

"Master!"

"Brother Ping!"

Upon seeing Xu Ping enter, the two girls stood up simultaneously, glanced at each other, and couldn't help but chuckle. After a day together, the two beautiful girls, who were initially not very familiar with each other in the vast Crown Prince's residence, had become as close as sisters.

A tub of hot water was already prepared in the room, and Xiaomi obediently didn't ask where Xu Ping had gone. She stepped forward and helped Xu Ping undress, softly asking, "Master, are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"

"No!" Xu Ping, having undressed completely under her care, soaked in the hot water. Looking at Cheng Ningxue's still somewhat shy and adorable appearance, he couldn't help but tease her, saying, "I have a beautiful woman to enjoy later; any more and I'll need a cane."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Cheng Ningxue gave him a charming glare, her gaze naturally avoiding Xu Ping's naked body.

Xiaomi, on the other hand, was much more natural. After serving Xu Ping for so long, she had lost some of her girlish shyness and gained a more docile composure. While gently wiping Xu Ping's body with a towel, she looked at Cheng Ningxue ambiguously, her heart pounding with anxiety—would her master keep her to serve him in bed that night?

"Xiao Mi!" Xu Ping asked, enjoying the gentle touch of her small hand stroking his hair. "How long has it been since you went home? If I remember correctly, your hometown is Liangshan, right?"

"Yes!" Xiao Mi's adorable face was full of longing as she softly replied, "I entered the palace at the age of ten, and before serving you, my master, I hadn't been home for six years!"

"Oh," Xu Ping let out a long "oh," and stood up, gesturing for her to help him dry off. Xiao Mi immediately and diligently brought a dry towel, carefully drying Xu Ping's body. She then timidly kissed his already erect penis, looking at him with satisfied anticipation.

Xu Ping naturally knew what she was thinking, but he didn't say much. He simply walked towards the bed, saying, "Pack your things. Tomorrow I'll take you back to your hometown in Shandong!"

"What?" Xiao Mi was completely taken aback, momentarily speechless.

Xu Ping was already in bed, sprawled out, and yawned. "I want to go out for a while," he said. "You haven't been home for years, so I'll take you home to visit, so you won't miss it."

"Master," Xiao Mi's eyes reddened, remembering the hardships of leaving home as a child and the blurred memories of her family. Her voice trembled as she spoke, and she suddenly knelt down.

"Don't say anything more, go prepare!" Xu Ping waved for her to rise. After all, palace maids may appear glamorous, but their lives are the most miserable. If he hadn't taken her back to the palace by chance, Xiao Mi might have wasted her limited youth in the palace, never seeing her family, living a life of constant fear, always at risk of losing her head for a mistake. If she was lucky enough to survive, she might be given a meager sum of money to send her home when she grew old. Everyone misses home, especially when she left as a naive child.

"Yes!" Xiao Mi quietly wiped away her tears of homesickness, lowered her head, and ran out, sobbing softly. Her eyes held a bittersweet expression, but even more so, a mixture of emotion and joy.

"Brother Ping, where are you going?" Cheng Ningxue sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes filled with reluctance and love. After all, she had given herself to the man she loved most, and now he was leaving her; how much resentment filled her heart!

"You little jealous pot!" Xu Ping chuckled, pulling her into his arms. He removed her thin nightgown, his hands caressing her full breasts with affection, kisses raining down on her delicate face. "Brother Ping has important business to attend to. When I return, you'll have to wait for me with a big belly, okay?"

"Ugh, who's pregnant!" Cheng Ningxue groaned, her delicate body now stripped naked by Xu Ping, her jade-like form collapsing limply into his arms!

"If once isn't enough, I'll have to plant more seeds!" Xu Ping cheered, then pressed her down, passionately nibbling at her full breasts and sucking on her beautiful, pearl-like nipples.

"No, please..."

Cheng Ningxue's feeble restraint gradually turned into low moans and gasps under Xu Ping's caresses, then slowly evolved into high-pitched cries with the impact of their bodies and the fullness of pleasure within her. The two naked bodies on the bed were tightly intertwined again, writhing rhythmically.

Poor Lin Ziyan next door, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by her daughter's moans! While resentfully thinking about Xu Ping, she couldn't suppress the heat emanating from deep within her body. Despite feeling ashamed, she couldn't help but tremble as she reached out her slender hands, slowly caressing the desire between her legs. Her private parts became increasingly wet, and accompanied by the sounds of her daughter and son-in-law's pleasure, she continued to search for the most intoxicating pleasure in sex!
