Chapter Twenty-Three: The Sword Tournament at Huangshan

Early the next morning, the three woke up. Huangfu Hui and Xiao Qionghua, recalling the fierce battle of the previous night, blushed slightly. They exchanged shy smiles and helped Lan Tianpeng get up. After washing and having breakfast, they first went to the mouth to retrieve Huangfu Hui's horse, then hurried to Huangshan to participate in the sword tournament. The journey from Tanggula Exit to Huangshan was truly a long and arduous one, not something that could be accomplished overnight. Therefore, the three took the opportunity to visit scenic spots along the way. Once they left Qingkang and entered northern Sichuan, they received assistance from the Beggar Clan disciples of the Central Plains, and could hear news of changes and developments in the Central Plains at any time.

Lan Tianpeng first inquired about the whereabouts of "Heroic Beggar" Uncle Ma Wu from the Beggar Clan disciples, but the information he received was that "Heroic Beggar" had not returned to Lengxiang Valley. Xiao Qionghua judged that the "Heroic Beggar" must have discovered something else. Of course, the place he was going to and the things he was doing were naturally more important than the Cold Fragrance Valley, but they just couldn't figure it out for the time being. Upon arriving at Tianguan in northern Sichuan, the three of them headed straight for the northernmost and most remote branch of the "Dragon and Phoenix Society"—the Chaotianguan Branch.

Due to the great distance from the main altar at Kuocang Mountain, the Chaotianguan branch was dominated by five people, including "Zhuobei Lingjun" Guan Tianyong, who held absolute power and was famous far and wide. "Zhuobei Lingjun" Guan Tianyong was personally appointed by Huangfu Hui as the branch leader. He was tall and had superhuman strength. He wielded a three-edged sword with unparalleled skill and was a key member who could handle things on his own. Huangfu Hui, Lan Tianpeng, and Xiao Qionghua, the three of them on three horses, proceeded along the street, heading straight for the address of the Dragon and Phoenix Society branch on East Street.

As the three rode forward, they carefully observed the bustling crowds in the street. They did not find any members of the "Dragon and Phoenix Society" in uniform wandering the streets, thus gaining a deeper understanding of Guan Tianyong's leadership abilities. Just then, Xiao Qionghua raised her hand and pointed to the north side of the street, saying, "Sister Huangfu, it's over there."

Lan Tianpeng and Huangfu Hui followed her gaze and saw a tall, black-lacquered gatehouse about ten feet north of the street. The gate had five steps high, with rows of blue lions. A large flagpole about five feet high was planted on the tail of the top blue lion, with a twelve-foot-long brocade banner hanging on it. Embroidered with eight large characters in gold and black silk—"Dragon and Phoenix Society Chaotianguan Branch Hall"—and four burly men in blue robes with black trim standing solemnly on the steps, made the atmosphere even more solemn and intimidating.

After reading it, Xiao Qionghua couldn't help but praise, "Sister, you really know how to recognize and use talent. Judging from this, this Hall Master Guan must be doing quite well in the Chaotian Pass branch under Commander Yin's command."

Huangfu Hui listened with great satisfaction and said, "Hall Master Guan is an old acquaintance of Chief Hall Master Guo. With his recommendation and my observation, he was sent to take charge of Chaotian Pass. Judging from the situation, he is indeed doing well."

As they spoke, they arrived at the gate of the branch. The four burly men in blue standing on the steps immediately rushed down when they saw one man and two women on horseback. One of them clasped his hands in a fist salute to Lan Tianpeng and the other two and asked respectfully, "May I ask which one you three are looking for?"

Before he could finish speaking, Huangfu Hui interrupted, "Tell your Hall Master Guan that Young Master Lan of Lengxiang Valley has arrived." Upon hearing "Young Master Lan," the four burly men were all greatly surprised. The one who came to greet them immediately responded respectfully, while the other two hurriedly ran down the steps to pull their horses. Another man dashed back into the main gate to inform Guan Tianyong.

Huangfu Hui, Lan Tianpeng, and Xiao Qionghua handed their horses to the three burly men and went straight up the steps into the main gate. Passing the reception wall, they came to a large hall, where twenty or thirty people were rushing out. The person in front was immediately recognized as Guan Tianyong, the branch leader of Chaotian Pass; the others were undoubtedly his various incense masters and other high-ranking officials. Sure enough, Guan Tianyong, who had rushed down the steps, was startled upon seeing Huangfu Hui. He quickly ran to her, bowed deeply, and said loudly, "Guan Tianyong, branch leader of Chaotian Pass in northern Sichuan, apologizes for the late arrival of our leader."

The group of people following Guan Tianyong immediately perked up, dispersed, and stood respectfully before the steps. Many were certain that the beautiful woman before them was their leader, "Golden Thread Without Shadow." Huangfu Hui smiled calmly and said, "Quickly greet Young Master Lan and Miss Xiao." She then pointed respectfully to Lan Tianpeng and Xiao Qionghua.

Guan Tianyong quickly bowed deeply to the two, saying, "Guan Tianyong, Branch Master of Chaotian Pass, greets Young Master Lan and Miss Xiao." Lan Tianpeng and Xiao Qionghua politely returned the greeting and followed Huangfu Hui to the main hall. Upon

entering, a dozen burly men in blue robes had already arranged three large chairs side by side. Huangfu Hui sat in the center, flanked by Lan Tianpeng and Xiao Qionghua. Guan Tianyong, the Branch Master of Chaotian Pass, led his subordinates and incense masters in paying their respects again. Huangfu Hui rose to return the greeting and asked, "Judging from the situation, are you having a meeting?"

Guan Tianyong, the branch leader of Chaotian Pass, immediately bowed and said, "Yes, I just received a message from the main headquarters and am relaying it."

Huangfu Hui immediately asked with concern, "What message?"

Guan Tianyong respectfully replied, "It concerns the matter of the gang leader, Young Master Lan, and Miss Xiao."

Huangfu Hui's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately asked in a deep voice, "Has it been relayed?"

Guan Tianyong bowed and said, "It has been relayed."

Huangfu Hui nodded and said, "Then please return to your posts, leaders."

Guan Tianyong respectfully replied, "Yes," and immediately turned to his subordinate leaders, saying in a deep voice, "Return to your posts. If there is anything else..." "A new order to summon everyone."

Huangfu Hui and her entourage withdrew, first gesturing respectfully for Guan Tianyong to sit down, and then asked with concern, "Is the message from the headquarters about me and Young Master Lan, Miss Xiao?"

Guan Tianyong, who had just sat down, immediately bowed and said, "Yes, the headquarters has ordered me to send personnel to guard key roads and ferry crossings, and to inform the leader and Young Master Lan that once they reach the east, they should rush to Huangshan."

Lan Tianpeng's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and he couldn't help but ask with concern, "Has there been any change in that regard?"

Guan Tianyong said, "What change? The headquarters hasn't said, only that the Wudang Sect Leader, 'Master Qinghe,' is determined to protect the Alliance Leader's throne and has declared that no honorary seat above the Alliance Leader will be allowed."

Huangfu Hui immediately said calmly, "I know that."

Guan Tianyong, however, emphasized, "According to the headquarters' words, although the news hasn't changed much, 'Master Qinghe' seems to be harboring treacherous intentions and has other schemes."

Huangfu Hui nodded knowingly and asked, "Any other news?" Guan

Tianyong immediately bowed and said, "It's news about the whereabouts of Liao Jing and Liao Fan."

Since this news was no longer relevant to Lan Tianpeng and the others, no further questions were asked. Huangfu Hui nodded slightly and continued, "What changes or news have occurred in the Kongtong Sect recently?"

Guan Tianyong replied, "Master Yuxu has retired. On the first day of last month, he handed over the leadership to Liao Yin."

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Hui turned to look at Lan Tianpeng and Xiao Qionghua and said, "Brother Peng and Sister Qionghua, you managed to save Lan Xiangji while also persuading Yuxu to abandon his ambition to dominate the martial arts world. This is truly a good deed."

Xiao Qionghua smiled and said, "What truly made Yuxu realize this was his three direct disciples. Each harbored rebellious intentions, and each wanted to seize his leadership position out of jealousy. With internal unrest, how could they unite against external forces?" "As they spoke, wine and dishes were already laid out in the left hall.

Guan Tianyong served as their host, and after the four discussed the matter, Lan Tianpeng and his two companions decided to hurry to Huangshan. Huangfu Hui, Lan Tianpeng, and Xiao Qionghua left Chaotian Pass, and the three of them, on three horses, traveled eastward along the official road, traveling by day and resting by night, without incident. They guarded Chaotian Pass themselves, and in every major city, there were branches and territories of the Dragon and Phoenix Society. Not only were their communications excellent, but their food and lodging were also exceptionally well taken care of. In particular, each branch had a communication pigeon that traveled back and forth, so even while Lan Tianpeng and his companions were still on their way, the news had already reached another branch, and their food and lodging had already been arranged."

Huangshan is located north of Qian County in Anhui Province, bordering Taiping County to the north. Originally named Beiqian Mountain, it was renamed "Huangshan" during the Tianbao era of the Tang Dynasty, and is also known as Huangyue. Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor, along with Guangchengzi and Fuqiu Gong, once sailed together on this mountain, hence the name Huangshan. Its mountain range is majestic, stretching northward from Huaiyu Mountain in Jiangxi and Zhejiang provinces, with peaks extending for thousands of miles, creating a magnificent spectacle. The peaks of Huangshan are countless, but the most famous is Xinshi Peak, one of the thirty-six peaks. It is a favorite gathering place for martial arts heroes, with flowers blooming everywhere, colorful rocks scattered about, and pine forests forming a forest where the wind whispers through the trees. In particular, the sea of clouds hangs just below the peaks; standing atop Hualien and Tiandu Peaks, the view resembles a beautiful island in the ocean. In previous years, Huangshan sword competitions required not only masterful swordsmanship but also exceptional lightness skills to reach the summit and participate.

However, this year's martial arts tournament was held at Wufengpo, a hillside on the southwestern slope near Qianxian County, contrary to previous years, as the Wudang Sect Leader, "Master Qinghe." Master Qinghe's reasoning was that Wufengpo's terrain was ideal, convenient for heroes and warriors from all over to attend, and its round valley-shaped basin could accommodate 20,000 to 30,000 people. It was generally speculated that "Master Qinghe," being the previous leader, wanted to make this year's tournament a grand and spectacular affair. All

the sects that participated in the previous tournament were invited, totaling over thirty units, large and small. Each unit set up camp in secluded valleys and flat areas around Wufengpo to accommodate the participating masters. Heroes and warriors from all sides flocked to Qianxian County and the towns and villages within a 20-mile radius of the southwestern slope of Huangshan Mountain; the area was already full three days prior. Peddlers from all walks of life flocked in from various places, setting up stalls, wine taverns, and teahouses. The small village, rarely visited by outsiders, suddenly became bustling with activity.

The Dragon and Phoenix Society's headmaster, "Double Palms Shake the Universe," had already arrived at his branch in Qian County. However, he had been secretly ordered to arrange a resting place for Lan Tianpeng, Ouyang Zi, and their companions at a farmhouse a few miles southwest of Gongshan. This farmhouse was surrounded by paddy fields, with hundreds of bamboo groves in the center, encircling three thatched huts, only one of which was a small cooking shed. Lan Tianpeng, Huangfu Hui, and Xiao Qionghua arrived at South Lake at dusk, three days before the gathering. The three of them, on three horses, were moving forward, admiring the lake's shimmering waters, the rippling waves, and the occasional dart of waterbirds catching fish, while fishing boats returned to shore. Just then, a rider galloped from the dense grove ahead, following the lake embankment to meet them.

Seeing that it was a yellow dappled horse, Huangfu Hui immediately looked at Lan Tianpeng with a smile and asked, "Brother Peng, look who's coming!" Hearing this, Xiao Qionghua, who was also on horseback nearby, noticed as well, assuming it was Ouyang Zi.

Xiao Qionghua looked closely and saw a beautiful young woman, about seventeen or eighteen years old, riding on the approaching yellow dappled horse. She wore a yellow satin top and a yellow sword cloak. The girl had fair skin, flowing hair, delicate eyebrows, narrow eyes, a straight nose, and cherry lips; she possessed a quiet yet spirited air. She was already smiling and waving at the three of them. Xiao Qionghua, seeing that it wasn't Ouyang Zi, concluded that she was a leader of one of the "Dragon and Phoenix Society's" halls. However, because Huangfu Hui had specifically mentioned it to Lan Tianpeng, she paid extra attention.

Lan Tianpeng naturally recognized Su Xiaoxiang, the head of the "Liying Hall," with whom he had a brief encounter, and said with a smile, "So it's Sister Xiang! I wondered who it was?"

Upon hearing "Sister Xiang," Xiao Qionghua knew that this woman and Lan Tianpeng were definitely not ordinary. The two rode towards each other, and in a short while, they were close by. Su Xiaoxiang had already stopped her horse and greeted him with a smile, saying, "Welcome, Dragon Head, Young Valley Master, and Miss Xiao. This humble servant has been waiting for you at the manor for quite some time."

Huangfu Hui reined in her horse and smiled at Xiao Qionghua, saying, "Sister Qionghua, let me introduce you. This is Su Xiaoxiang, the head of the 'Liying' Hall, one of the three halls of our association. She is already Brother Peng's wife."

Xiao Qionghua smiled and said, "Sister Xiang, from now on, we are all sisters, so there's no need to be so polite."

Su Xiaoxiang said, "This is the rule of the 'Dragon and Phoenix Association,' which is to keep public and private matters separate."

Lan Tianpeng smiled at Su Xiaoxiang, whose face flushed. Huangfu Hui and Xiao Qionghua couldn't help but laugh, making Su Xiaoxiang even more embarrassed. The four rode forward, and Huangfu Hui asked with concern, "Has my sister Zi arrived yet?" Su

Xiaoxiang replied happily, "She arrived yesterday at noon."

Upon hearing the question about Ouyang Zi, Lan Tianpeng's heart immediately fluttered with sweetness. At the same time, the scene of their encounter at Gaojialou, teasing "Liaochen," and raising the "Five Tigers" instantly came to mind. Thinking of "Gaojialou," he couldn't help but think of the affectionate Gao Lianying. He wondered how she was doing now. Between Huangfu Hui and Ouyang Zi, Lan Tianpeng felt closer and more approachable to Ouyang Zi. Thinking that they would meet soon, a smile unconsciously appeared on his handsome face. Xiao Qionghua naturally noticed, but considering that they had been separated for several months, it was only natural for them to meet again. Therefore, she didn't say anything, especially with Huangfu Hui present.

Thinking it over, Huangfu Hui continued, "Who from the Outer Three Halls is here?"

Su Xiaoxiang replied, "This morning, the head of the main hall came to the manor to consult with the leader, and left after lunch..." Before she could finish speaking, they had already entered the manor's protective forest. A straight road led from the lake embankment directly to the manor gate.

The four of them spurred their horses forward. It was already dark inside the forest, and two large gauze lanterns were lit on the manor gate, which was about seven or eight zhang away. The manor gate didn't seem very big, and they could vaguely see three or four people standing under it. As they approached the manor, they could see that the people standing

under the lanterns were four female guards in red. The four female guards dismounted and took their horses, while Su Xiaoxiang hurriedly ran into the gate. Lan Tianpeng, Huangfu Hui, and Xiao Qionghua leisurely handed their horses to the female guards, and as they stepped up the steps and passed the welcoming wall, Ouyang Zi and the others, smiling, hurried out of the hall to greet them. Ouyang Zi was still wearing her lotus-colored silk robe with a purple satin sleeveless long gown, exactly the same attire she wore in the Qiyuan Valley on the rooftop. The only difference was that she had been carefully groomed, making her appear exceptionally radiant and dazzling, even more noble and elegant. Following behind her, besides Su Xiaoxiang, were the poised and arrogant "Green Magpie Hall" leader, Zhuo Yujun, and another group of female stewards. The hall was brightly lit, and apart from a few maids, most of the attendants were red-clad guards.

Ouyang Zi's personal maid, "Xia Lu," and Huangfu Hui's trusted maid, "Chun Hong," also followed behind her, coming out of the hall to greet her. As soon as the two maids appeared, their eyes fell on Lan Tianpeng and couldn't look away. All of this was naturally observed by Xiao Qionghua, who was well aware of what was going on. Upon seeing Ouyang Zi, Huangfu Hui immediately rushed forward, calling out "Sister!" in a cheerful voice. Ouyang Zi, in turn, warmly grasped Xiao Qionghua's jade-like arm, calling her "Sister" as well, and introduced Zhuo Yujun and the others to Xiao Qionghua one by one.

Lan Tianpeng waited until they finished their pleasantries before bowing to Ouyang Zi and calling her "Sister." Ouyang Zi had missed him day and night, her heart filled with longing. Her beloved had returned, yet she couldn't fully enjoy their reunion, naturally feeling somewhat uneasy. However, on the surface, she had to maintain a graceful and magnanimous elder sister's demeanor, giving Lan Tianpeng a concerned look, smiling brightly, and saying, "Please sit in the hall, everyone. There are still many matters waiting for you to discuss upon your return." Entering the hall, they immediately took their seats, with Xia Lü and Chun Hong pouring wine.

Ouyang Zi began angrily, saying, "That old Taoist Qinghe, what on earth is he up to? Not only did he revoke the honorary seats of the 'Three Wonders of the Universe,' but he also moved the sword-fighting competition to Wufeng Slope." Huangfu Hui smiled calmly and said, "

I heard that Wufeng Slope can hold twenty or thirty thousand people. Perhaps he wants all the heroes of the world to come and witness this sensational martial arts tournament."

Ouyang Zi said with some complaint, "Now I think we should try to reclaim the honorary seats of the three elders and maintain them at the tournament to commemorate their former supreme status in the martial arts world."

Lan Tianpeng disagreed, saying, "I think securing the honorary seats is secondary. The most important thing is to show the heroes of the world that the three elders all have disciples, and their martial arts and swordsmanship are still unmatched. Moreover, they should accept any challenge and defeat them convincingly."

Xiao Qionghua immediately said seriously, "I agree with Brother Peng's opinion. Moreover, I discussed this with Sister Huangfu on the way, specifically the issue of maintaining the honorary seats and rankings of the three elders."

Ouyang Zi was startled and asked anxiously, "Sister Qionghua, are you saying that the two elders, 'Divine Nun' and 'Holy Monk,' will send someone to participate?"

Huangfu Hui shook her head first, saying, "The Holy Monk has long since abandoned the pursuit of fame and fortune through his arduous cultivation. Pu Jing serves the Holy Monk day and night, unable to be separated for even a moment. Pu Ming is still young, and his swordsmanship is not yet refined enough; it seems impossible for either of them to come..."

Ouyang Zi asked with concern, "When you bid farewell to the Holy Monk, did he give any instructions?"

Huangfu Hui said solemnly, "The Holy Monk gave no instructions other than instructing us to use the strength of the 'Dragon and Phoenix Gathering' to balance the martial world and maintain peace. He seems unaware that the Huangshan Sword Competition is about to begin again—"

Ouyang Zi looked at Xiao Qionghua and asked, "Did the Divine Nun make any indication?"

Xiao Qionghua said solemnly, "I left early; the Divine Nun hasn't mentioned it yet."

Huangfu Hui also asked with concern, "Do you think the Divine Nun will send a disciple to compete for a position?"

Xiao Qionghua hesitated for a moment, then said solemnly, "Before the Divine Nun, there are two senior sisters. The oldest is over forty, and the youngest is thirty-nine. Moreover, they have already converted to Buddhism." Lan

Tianpeng, standing to the side, sullenly drank his wine, calculating in his mind. In the past, when discussing swordsmanship, the "Silver-Clad Swordsman" was slightly superior among the "Three Wonders." However, the "Silver-Clad Swordsman," citing seniority, ranked the "Holy Monk" first, the "Divine Nun" second, and himself third. Now, the Wudang Sect Leader, "Qinghe," seeking to monopolize the Sword Altar Alliance, believed his swordsmanship was already at its peak. Furthermore, the "Three Wonders" hadn't blatantly revoked their honorary titles over the years, suggesting he had ulterior motives. Logically, "Qinghe" was ambitious and wanted to maintain his leadership, but he didn't know if the "Three Wonders of the Universe" still needed those three supreme honors, hence his motivation to revoke them starting this year.

Assuming the "Three Wonders" maintain their decision from the previous two sessions, they will undoubtedly send their disciples to participate in the tournament. This would provide an opportunity to test the strength of their disciples. The most obvious point is that "Master Qinghe," following in the footsteps of "Master Yuxu" of Kongtong, harbors ambitions to dominate the martial arts world and lead all others. However, while Lan Tianpeng is the heir to the "Silver-Clad Swordsman's" robes and sword, he is not a direct disciple, so whether he can represent the group and protect the honorary seat remains a question.

His master, Ding Shangxian, is renowned for his "Flying Clouds Technique," but has never been ranked in previous tournaments. His father, known for his Golden-Backed Saber, is also unparalleled in the martial arts world and has never participated in any tournaments. Therefore, strictly speaking, aside from participating as the heir to the "Silver-Clad Swordsman's" robes and sword at tomorrow's Huangshan Sword Tournament, he is not qualified to participate. However, he does possess a fundamental and rightful qualification: he is a swordsman. He used a sword, and he could challenge from the lowest-ranking sect all the way up to become the leader of this year's Sword Tournament.

However, he also considered that Ouyang Zi, for the sake of her father's honorary seat, would undoubtedly fight tooth and nail and would not allow "Master Qinghe" to arbitrarily revoke it; she would certainly strive for it. His only concern was whether, after winning the honorary seat, the original agreement would still be maintained, with the Holy Monk first and the Divine Nun second. This was also a problem. Xiao Qionghua was the "Divine Nun's" last disciple, and Huangfu Hui had also become the "Holy Monk's" successor. In the martial world, the teacher's kindness was immense, and no one could be allowed to damage the teacher's reputation for personal reasons.

He and Xiao Qionghua had already begun to worry about this matter during their journey to the Western Regions. Because, although it seemed trivial, if handled improperly, it could easily cause displeasure among the women and discord among the three. For Lan Tianpeng, this would not only be his own misfortune but would also cast an everlasting shadow over the future of Lengxiang Manor. Lost in thought and worry, he didn't know what the three women were talking about.

Just then, Mu Wenchunhong blurted out urgently, "The Grand Master is back again." Lan Tianpeng was startled and quickly looked up, only to see Grand Master Guo, known as "Double Palms Shake the Universe," striding solemnly towards the hall.

Huangfu Hui's eyebrows furrowed slightly; from Grand Master Guo's expression, she deduced that a thorny problem had arisen. Ouyang Zi felt even more strongly that something was amiss, because "Double Palms Shake the Universe" had just left at noon, and according to the distance calculation, he hadn't even reached halfway to Huangshan Village. Upon seeing Huangfu Hui, Lan Tianpeng, and Xiao Qionghua, "Double Palms Shake the Universe" immediately forced a smile, clasped his hands, and said cheerfully, "Yesterday I received a report from the Qianshan branch saying that the Dragon Head and Young Valley Master... Miss Xiao, will you arrive this evening..." Lan Tianpeng had already stood up and also clasped his hands and smiled as he greeted the Grand Master.

Ouyang Zi asked with concern, "Why are you back again?"

Guo, the head of the "Double Palms Shake the Universe" sect, immediately became serious upon hearing the question, saying, "I was only halfway there when I encountered Master Pang of the 'Black Tiger Altar'..."

Before he could finish, Ouyang Zi asked anxiously, "Has something terrible happened at the main altar?"

"Double Palms Shake the Universe" replied, "Not long after we left the main altar, a young master named Puming went there..."

Before he could finish, Huangfu Hui, Ouyang Zi, Lan Tianpeng, and Xiao Qionghua all paled, exclaiming in relief. Huangfu Hui asked urgently, "What did Junior Brother Puming say?"

"Double Palms Shake the Universe" said with difficulty, "He relayed Master Pujing's words, saying that the leader should strive for the honorary seat for the sect to protect the 'Holy Monk's' supreme reputation at the Sword Debate Conference." Upon hearing this, Huangfu Hui let out another weak "Ah!" and froze.

Ouyang Zi and Lan Tianpeng also lowered their heads, their lips tightly pressed together, lost in thought. Just then, Chunhong said urgently, "Miss, Master Fang of 'Jade Horse Hall' has also arrived."

Upon hearing Chunhong announce that Master Fang had arrived, Xiao Qionghua looked up towards the hall. She saw a robust young man, about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, dressed in a pink, bright satin outfit, with a pair of tiger-head hooks stuck in his back, striding into the hall. As she looked him over, she heard Master Guo of "Double Palms Shake the Universe" say, "Master Fang's arrival must mean some amazing news." As soon as he finished speaking, Master Fang strode into the hall.

Upon seeing Huangfu Hui and Lan Tianpeng, Master Fang's expression immediately brightened. He quickly stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "This humble servant, Fang Lizhang, greets the Dragon Head and Young Master Lan." Huangfu Hui, her heart heavy, simply nodded and said nothing.

Lan Tianpeng was a guest, and although he had something on his mind, he couldn't be impolite. So he smiled, stood up, cupped his hands, and said in a gentle voice, "How are you, Hall Master?" Then, taking the opportunity, he glanced at Xiao Qionghua and pointed to Hall Master Fang, introducing him: "Cousin, this is Hall Master Fang of the 'Jade Horse Hall,' his full name is Fang Lizhang. He wields a pair of tiger-head hooks with uncanny skill, so his friends in the martial arts world call him 'Little Tai Sui of the Divine Hooks'..."

"Little Tai Sui of the Divine Hooks" had already heard from Hall Master Guo that "The Beautiful Rakshasa" was his cousin, Li Shaogu. Hearing Lan Tianpeng address this beautiful girl in green as "cousin," he immediately knew it was Xiao Qionghua, the nemesis of the underworld, whose swordsmanship and agility were both superb. Therefore, before Lan Tianpeng could finish speaking, he took two steps forward, bowed deeply, and said, "I dare not accept such praise, Young Valley Master. This must be the renowned Miss Xiao."

Seeing that "Little Tai Sui of the Divine Hooks" already knew her identity, Xiao Qionghua could only return the greeting. Smiling, he said, "Master Fang, you're too polite. I look forward to your guidance in the future."

Upon hearing this, "Little Divine Hook Tai Sui" hurriedly replied, "Miss Xiao, you're too kind."

Ouyang Zi was certain that "Little Divine Hook Tai Sui" had come with important news to report. However, his meeting with Lan Tianpeng and his introduction to Xiao Qionghua were both just proper courtesy. As the hostess, although she was eager to know the purpose of "Little Tai Sui's Divine Hook," she had to politely smile and say, "Sister Qionghua's lightness skill and swordsmanship are world-renowned. You should ask Hall Master Fang to give her more guidance in the future. No wonder he was so flustered and kept saying he dared not."

Xiao Qionghua quickly said humbly, "Sister Ouyang, your words only make me feel embarrassed."

Hall Master Guo, who was known for his "Double Palms Shaking the Universe," knew the close relationship between the three women, so he interjected and said, "The three ladies have each received the true teachings of a master. In this sword competition, to protect the highest honor of the three masters, we must work together to deal with 'True Man Qinghe'..."

Before he could finish speaking, Little Tai Sui interrupted seriously, "Now the problem is, is it about dealing with 'True Man Qinghe' alone?"

Upon hearing this, everyone remembered the reason for Little Tai Sui's return. Ouyang Zi asked first, "Has there been any major change on that side since you came?"

"Little Tai Sui of the Divine Hook" immediately replied respectfully, "Yes, not only have the leaders of the major sword-wielding sects in the Central Plains arrived, but also the figures from the various border regions whose main weapon is the sword."

Ouyang Zi asked with concern, "Which sword sects are on the border?"

"Little Tai Sui of the Divine Hook" said solemnly, "Leaving aside the sects in Hainan and the Northwest, just take the Kunlun Sect of the Western Regions, 'Ice Maiden,' for example; she is a formidable figure among the current sword masters." As soon as

the words "Ice Maiden" were uttered, Xiao Qionghua's beautiful face changed instantly, and she froze, while Lan Tianpeng also blurted out "Ah," not knowing what to say! Ouyang Zi and "Double Palms Shake the Universe" were indeed moved, because the "Ice Maiden's" superb swordsmanship was known throughout the world. In particular, in the past, they had repeatedly sent people to invite "Silver-Clad Swordsman" to the Ice Plateau for a sword duel, but "Silver-Clad Swordsman" could not go due to his serious injuries. Her personal visit this time was quite obvious; she was undoubtedly the leader of the prestigious martial arts tournament, though her defeat at the hands of the "Five Fingers Manor" in the previous tournament was due to a sneak attack.

Huangfu Hui, who had been feeling heavy-hearted, suddenly asked, puzzled, "Brother Peng, didn't you and Sister Qionghua already meet 'Ice Maiden' on your trip to the Western Regions? Why has she come to the Central Plains again?"

Both Lan Tianpeng and Xiao Qionghua had promised Daoist Qingyun that they would keep the secret of the Li Palace's change of ownership a secret from anyone. Although Huangfu Hui and Lan Tianpeng were close, practically betrothed, he and Xiao Qionghua decided that, at least for now, there was no need to tell Huangfu Hui.

Therefore, since entering the pass through Tanggula Pass, although they had discussed going to the Ice Plateau, they only said it was at Qingyun's request to visit the front palace. Of course, it was mentioned that "Ice Maiden" was the sister of "Qingyun" Daoist, but the purpose of going to Ligong Palace was not explained, which was to treat the poison in "Ice Maiden's" body.

At this time, when Huangfu Hui asked, he could only vaguely say: "At that time, we only talked about the sword duel with Ouyang Bo in the past, and did not talk about the sword duel at Huangshan. Moreover, at that time, the date of the sword duel was still far away..."

Huangfu Hui said without letting up: "In the end, the date is not far away. We are here today, and they are here today. Even if they set off later than you and Qionghua, they are at most three or five days later..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Qionghua said seriously: "It is strange. Although we talked about some changes in the martial arts world at that time, we did not talk about the sword duel at Huangshan. Perhaps they deliberately avoided talking about it."

Ouyang Zi, who was standing next to him, said in confusion: "By the way, you talked about swords as soon as you met. When you went to the Western Regions, did you meet "Xuanqing Immortal"? What did "Ice Maiden" say about the sword duel with my father in the past?" "

Because this matter involves a great deal of information and cannot be explained in a few words, Lan Tianpeng downplayed the seriousness of the matter, saying, 'On the way from the Western Regions to the Glacier Plateau, we encountered the Daoist Qingyun. According to him, his other junior brother, who came from the east, had already met Aunt Ouyang…'

Lan Tianpeng, who had been listening attentively, immediately interjected, 'Since they all know the truth about why my master did not go to the appointment, my act of going on behalf of my master has been deemed as 'not following orders' and therefore I have no reason to participate in the sword duel.'

Ouyang Zi glanced at Xiao Qionghua, who looked uneasy, and as soon as Lan Tianpeng finished speaking, she immediately changed the subject, saying, 'Judging from Sister Qionghua's expression, it seems that she has some reservations about the 'Glacier Heroine,' but is the 'Glacier Heroine's' swordsmanship truly invincible?'" Upon hearing this

, Lan Tianpeng, fearing that Ouyang Zi might act impulsively and secretly challenge Hao Xiaoyu to a duel, thus ruining the harmony between the two sides, quickly interjected, "In the Western Regions, 'Ice Maiden's' swordsmanship can be considered among the best, but compared to my master, she is far inferior."

Ouyang Zi, naturally unable to say anything since Lan Tianpeng was referring to her father rather than her, looked at Xiao Qionghua with a puzzled expression and said with a smile, "Then why does Sister Qionghua look so unhappy, as if she has a lot on her mind?"

At this point, Huangfu Hui couldn't help but chuckle and said, "How come Sister Qionghua is hanging out with an old woman who's almost fifty?"

Lan Tianpeng's heart skipped a beat, feeling extremely nervous, fearing that Xiao Qionghua would blurt out the actual age of "Ice Maiden" Hao Xiaoyu. However, the exceptionally clever Xiao Qionghua skillfully smiled and said, "Although this is a private matter between me and 'Ice Heroine,' it will benefit both of you in the future."

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Hui, whose mood had been heavy, suddenly became sensitive and excited, saying, "I know, my foolish sister! It must be that you want to learn her 'age-preserving technique'?"

Reminded by this, Ouyang Zidi smiled with a tone of sudden realization and said, "That's right! How come I didn't think of that? If we are still twenty-two when we are fifty, how wonderful that would be!"

Xiao Qionghua could only smile happily and say, "Please forgive me for keeping you in suspense for now, but in short, this matter will benefit both of you. In the future, my beautiful face will ensure that both of you will remain youthful. If wrinkles appear on my face in the future, then your hair will surely be gray." "Huangfu Hui and Ouyang Zi, though both exceptionally intelligent, were momentarily captivated by the 'youth-preserving technique' and failed to grasp the profound meaning behind Xiao Qionghua's double entendre. Huangfu Hui and Ouyang Zi believed it to be absolutely true: Xiao Qionghua, having learned the 'Ice Maiden's' youth-preserving technique, would naturally pass it on to them. Of course, if Xiao Qionghua's practice was effective, their youth would also be preserved; if Xiao Qionghua aged, their hair would naturally turn white. However, they were unaware that Xiao Qionghua's statement, 'Both sisters will benefit,' referred to the 'Ice Maiden' Hao Xiaoyu marrying Lan Tianpeng, thus gaining another sister in her household.

'Double Palms Shake the Universe' Master Guo, though seasoned and experienced, was also completely bewildered, unable to grasp the underlying meaning. 'Divine Hook Little Tai Sui' was a subordinate, only concerned with other tasks; he didn't bother with such matters at all." Lan Tianpeng naturally understood Xiao Qionghua's cryptic message. Huangfu Hui and Ouyang Zi were both girls, and naturally, they couldn't escape the girlish desire for beauty. Therefore, they both looked at "Divine Hook Little Tai Sui" in unison and asked, "Hall Master Fang, do you know the camp of 'Ice Maiden'?"

"Divine Hook Little Tai Sui" immediately replied respectfully, "After receiving news of the arrival of 'Ice Maiden' and 'Qingyun' Dao of the Kunlun Sect, I rushed here immediately..."

"Double Palms Shake the Universe" Shen Bo Fang Hall Master was reprimanded and immediately interjected, "Each sect has a fixed camp, and there are plaques outside. It's not difficult to find them when you go." Lan Tianpeng was startled when he heard this. He knew that Ouyang Zi was referring to Ice Maiden Hao Xiaoyu.

Xiao Qionghua shook her head and smiled, saying, "It's better for me to go see her alone."

Lan Tianpeng was startled again. He didn't know why Xiao Qionghua wanted to see Hao Xiaoyu. Thinking back to the scene when they left the Li Palace, he wondered what Xiao Qionghua's intentions were. He immediately smiled and said, "I'll accompany you, cousin."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Qionghua immediately smiled tactfully and said, "It would be inconvenient for you to go. You should stay and reminisce with Sister Ouyang." Though she meant no harm, Ouyang Zi's beautiful face immediately flushed. In her heart, she was secretly grateful to Xiao Qionghua, knowing she was a sister she could share a husband with.

Although Lan Tianpeng had some reservations, thinking of the longing he had felt during their journey, he indeed should reminisce with Ouyang Zi. Huangfu Hui looked at "Double Palms Shake the Universe" and asked, "How are the preparations going?"

"Double Palms Shake the Universe" Chief Guo bowed and said, "Everything is being prepared according to Miss Ouyang's instructions. A secluded farmhouse has been chosen, and we are not revealing a single trace of it to our reputation, so as not to arouse suspicion from heroes."

Huangfu Hui continued, "So, everything is ready?" "Double Palms Shake the Universe" Chief Guo immediately replied respectfully. Huangfu Hui then looked at Xiao Qionghua and asked with concern, "When will Sister Qionghua go?"

Xiao Qionghua, unsure of Huangfu Hui's intentions, solemnly replied, "I will depart immediately after dinner; the horses will remain here."

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Hui immediately looked at Chief Guo again and instructed, "Miss Xiao should arrive at 'Five Phoenix Slope' by midnight. Please tell her the location of that farmhouse so she can rest there after finishing her business."

Master Guo respectfully agreed and told Xiao Qionghua the location of the farmhouse. However, "Little Divine Hook" was stunned when he heard that Xiao Qionghua could arrive in the middle of the night, thinking that her lightness skill was indeed amazing. Taking the opportunity, Huangfu Hui said to Ouyang Zi, "I think I'll lead Master Fang and Chunhong there first after dinner, so we can secretly observe the situation when we get there."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Zi blushed even more. This was clearly creating an opportunity for her and Lan Tianpeng, and she was naturally grateful for her senior sister's kindness. However, she had to suggest, "Since that's the case, why don't we go together?"

Huangfu Hui immediately said seriously, "We can't leave this place unattended. You and Peng should set off tomorrow at noon. We still have half a day and a night to discuss the Sword Tournament and the strength of each faction."

Ouyang Zi glanced at Su Xiaoxiang and Zhuo Yujun and continued, "We can leave Hall Master Zhuo and Hall Master Su here."

Huangfu Hui still said seriously, "This is the communication center. In case of important news, the two of them will have to come to us overnight." Hearing this, Ouyang Zi naturally had nothing to say.

So, everyone quickly finished their dinner, and it was already time for the night watch. A sound came from outside that the horses were ready, and Huangfu Hui, Xiao Qionghua, "Divine Hook Little Tai Sui" and Chunhong, accompanied by Lan Tianpeng, Ouyang Zi, Su Xiaoxiang, Zhuo Yujun and others, walked out of the gate. "Double Palms Shake the Universe" Hall Master Guo, because he still had urgent matters to attend to on Huangshan, also set off with Huangfu Hui.

It was already past midnight, and a gentle breeze blew across the lake, carrying the faint stars; the air was already crisp with the scent of autumn. Several guards in red led the horses of Huangfu Hui and the others, along with Xiao Qionghua's "Xiao Qing," which was pulled behind by Chun Hong, towards the southern foot of Huangshan Mountain so that Xiao Qionghua could ride from there. Upon reaching the gate, Xiao Qionghua, eager to find Hao Xiaoyu, immediately bid farewell to Huangfu Hui and Ouyang Zi, saying, "Sisters, we'll meet at the southern foot of Huangshan Mountain. I'll take my leave now."

Ouyang Zi was the first to anxiously say, "Sister Qionghua, when you see the 'Ice Glacier Heroine,' be sure to ask her to pass on her secret techniques to you."

Xiao Qionghua couldn't say anything, but could only nod happily and say, "I understand." As soon as she uttered the word "了" (le), she leaped into the air, her lithe figure flashing above the treetops before disappearing completely.

Huangfu Hui and Ouyang Zi had witnessed Xiao Qionghua's lightness skill before, so they weren't surprised. "Double Palms Shake the Universe," though he had met Xiao Qionghua before, had never seen her use her lightness skill firsthand, and upon seeing it now, couldn't help but secretly admire her. However, Su Xiaoxiang, Zhuo Yujun, and "Divine Hook Little Tai Sui" were all secretly alarmed. They were now convinced that Huangfu Hui's claim that Xiao Qionghua could reach the southern foothills of Huangshan at midnight was true. Once Xiao Qionghua was gone, Huangfu Hui and the others quickly mounted their horses, said "See you the day after tomorrow" to Lan Tianpeng and Ouyang Zi, and spurred their horses towards the lake.

Ouyang Zi, filled with a joyful and sweet feeling, waited until Huangfu Hui and the others disappeared into the dark woods before turning to look at Lan Tianpeng. When she turned her head, she was startled. She then noticed her beloved Peng-di, who looked troubled and dejected, as if burdened with worries, or perhaps reluctant to see Xiao Qionghua and Huangfu Hui leave. In that instant, a terrible thought flashed through her mind: she had lost her allure in Lan Tianpeng's eyes.

She then understood why her senior sister Huangfu Hui had rushed to the Western Regions to find Lan Tianpeng; Huangfu Hui must have already seen through this. However, she firmly believed that Huangfu Hui wasn't intentionally vying for his favor, because the two of them had sworn to never leave each other, to share one husband, or to become nuns together. She was a forthright and stubborn girl; she couldn't admit defeat. She had to find a way to reverse this decline; she couldn't lose Peng-di, whom she had so painstakingly won over.

So, she pretended not to notice Lan Tianpeng's expression and said cheerfully, "Brother Peng, let's go in." Lan Tianpeng regained his composure and realized his lapse in manner, but due to his depressed mood, he had no intention of putting on a smile.

Just as they turned past the screen wall in front of the hall, Su Xiaoxiang and Zhuo Yujun, knowing better, stopped and said respectfully, "If the Dragon Head and Young Valley Master have no further instructions, we will take our leave." Upon hearing this, Lan Tianpeng stopped and turned around first, nodding and smiling politely.

However, Ouyang Zi unconsciously blushed slightly and said gently, "It's alright, you two can rest now." Su Xiaoxiang and Zhuo Yujun bowed in agreement and stood respectfully to see them off. Su Xiaoxiang had already consummated her marriage with Lan Tianpeng, but compared to Ouyang Zi, there was still a gap. Su Xiaoxiang understood that she would need Ouyang Zi and Huangfu Hui's approval, and considering they hadn't seen each other for a long time, she didn't want to disturb them at this time, even though she wanted to stay.

Ouyang Zi and Lan Tianpeng then ascended the steps and entered the hall. After entering the hall, Ouyang Zi didn't sit down, but walked past the screen, through the hall, through the middle gate, and straight to the back gate into the inner courtyard. Lan Tianpeng knew that Ouyang Zi still had questions for him, so he silently followed behind her, but in his heart, he kept thinking about what would happen after Xiao Qionghua met Hao Xiaowang. In the blink of an eye, they entered another exquisite courtyard, and Ouyang Zi was already walking in front of a small building. Lan Tianpeng quickly focused his mind and found that there was no one behind him, to his left and right, and even in the entire courtyard filled with flowers and bamboo, there was no one in sight; everything was quiet.

Looking up at the small building, though not large, it was three stories high. The first two floors were dimly lit, while the third floor was brightly lit with a faint pinkish glow. Adjoining the ground floor were two elegant upper rooms, shaped like a flower hall. Beyond the surrounding gardens was a courtyard wall, and beyond that wall lay the protective grove. Lan Tianpeng, preoccupied with his troubles, had unknowingly traversed several courtyards to reach this place. In the blink of an eye, Ouyang Zi hurriedly entered the elegant upper room, turned right, and saw a staircase leading to the second floor. Ouyang Zi, without a word, went straight upstairs.

The second floor was dimly lit with a melon-shaped lamp, a desk, and bookshelves, seemingly a study. Ouyang Zi remained silent, continuing up the stairs to the third floor. Seeing this, Lan Tianpeng felt uneasy, for he was certain Ouyang Zi was angry—before even reaching the third floor, Xia Lu was already smilingly greeting him at the entrance.

Upon reaching the top of the stairs, Xia Lu immediately greeted them with a smile, "Young Master, Miss." As

Lan Tianpeng ascended, his eyes lit up—upper floor, brocade quilts and curtains, a jade-inlaid bed, a bright red velvet carpet, a low table, two potted flowers by the window, and two floor lamps in the corners. Whether it was Ouyang Zi's preference for pink or the original lampshades, the light was pink, illuminating the room and subtly conveying a festive atmosphere. Ouyang Zi removed her embroidered gold-embroidered boots, and Lan Tianpeng also removed his swastika-patterned shoes.

Lan Tianpeng was feeling uneasy when he suddenly saw Ouyang Zi smile brightly and ask, "This is the shared bedroom with Senior Sister Hui. What do you think, Brother Peng?" He had assumed Ouyang Zi's previous silence meant she was moved, but of course, he didn't know that Ouyang Zi was actually thinking about how to win Lan Tianpeng's heart.

At this moment, Lan Tianpeng quickly glanced around the room and immediately nodded repeatedly, "Good, good, wonderful."

Ouyang Zi looked at Lan Tianpeng affectionately and asked with a smile, "How so?"

Lan Tianpeng had only said it casually, not expecting her to ask such a question, and was taken aback, but quickly smiled and said, "It's small and exquisite, with an elegant arrangement..." Ouyang Zi sat cross-legged on the embroidered cushion and gestured for Lan Tianpeng to sit down. So, while taking in the room's furnishings, he sat to Ouyang Zi's left, and a delicate fragrance of face powder immediately wafted over.

The scent of girls' face powder has a strong allure for any boy, and Lan Tianpeng was no exception, so he unconsciously turned his head to look at Ouyang Zi. Because the two were so close, Ouyang Zi seemed to feel a burning sensation from Lan Tianpeng's gaze on her beautiful face, and she knew without a doubt that her face must have turned red. Her heart pounded wildly, a sweet feeling welling up inside her, her cheeks burning. She immediately lowered her head shyly.

This was the first time Lan Tianpeng had ever seen her do this, and a surge of warm joy welled up within him. He couldn't help but softly call out, "Sister Zi."

Ouyang Zi gave a soft "Mmm," then immediately looked up at Lan Tianpeng with deep affection, asking gently, "Do you like this little building?"

Lan Tianpeng glanced around the room, nodded, and said, "I like it. It gives me a feeling of being in a world apart, forgetting the mundane."

Ouyang Zi asked affectionately, "You mean just you?"

Lan Tianpeng, having already noticed that Xia Lu had taken the opportunity to go downstairs while he and Ouyang Zi were upstairs, replied with a smile, "Of course it's just the two of us."

Ouyang Zi's heart skipped a beat, and she deliberately asked, "Don't you miss Sister Qionghua and Sister Hui?" The smile on Lan Tianpeng's face vanished immediately at the mention of Xiao Qionghua.

Ouyang Zi felt a pang of displeasure and immediately asked with concern, "Are you afraid of her?...or...?"

Lan Tianpeng assumed Ouyang Zi was referring to Huangfu Hui and Xiao Qionghua, and immediately said frankly, "I respect and miss both of you sisters, especially you, sister."

Hearing this, Ouyang Zi's heart immediately filled with sweetness; she knew Lan Tianpeng was speaking from the heart. However, she couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Is that true?"

Lan Tianpeng replied without hesitation, his expression serious, "Of course it's true, because I often reminisce about when we met at Gaojialou, and then again at the Green Valley Cave deep within the rooftop..."

Before he could finish, Ouyang Zi had already grasped Lan Tianpeng's hand affectionately and naturally, saying with a mixture of affection and jealousy, "I noticed you looked so forlorn and silent after seeing Sister Qionghua and Sister Hui leave, as if you'd lost your soul."

Lan Tianpeng shook his head sadly and said, "I wasn't feeling for the two sisters' departure...

" Yang Zi immediately asked, puzzled, "Then what is it for?"

Upon hearing the question, Lan Tianpeng immediately thought of Hao Xiaoyu's matter and the promise he made to the "Qingyun" Daoist. Therefore, he sighed softly, his mind heavy with worry, and said, "It's for something else."

Hearing this, Ouyang Zi became even more curious about this other matter, and said somewhat angrily, "What is it?"

Lan Tianpeng, pressed by the question, could only patiently and solemnly say, "It concerns a secret of a sect."

Ouyang Zi immediately pressed, "Who? Which sect?"

How could Lan Tianpeng say? He could only say in a troubled and anxious voice, "Sister, I really can't say."

Ouyang Zi's heart stirred. She was certain that Xiao Qionghua knew about this. If Lan Tianpeng could tell Xiao Qionghua, then all his words of respect and longing for her were false, and his love for her was certainly worth considering. So, she deliberately asked in a soft but serious tone, "Can't even your own wife reveal something?"

Lan Tianpeng immediately replied seriously, "Yes, this secret also includes my parents and wife."

Ouyang Zi deliberately asked, "So, even Qionghua doesn't know?"

Lan Tianpeng, being kind-hearted, felt that his sister Ouyang Zi, who had been kind to him and loved him, was lying, and without hesitation said, "Oh, she knows."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Zi was both jealous and angry, and couldn't help but smile coldly, asking, "Why does she know?" As she spoke, she immediately released Lan Tianpeng's hand and turned her head away.

Lan Tianpeng was startled and grabbed Ouyang Zi's hand, anxiously asking, "Sister, are you angry?"

Ouyang Zi gave a light snort and said reproachfully, "I was just asking how Sister Qionghua knew."

Lan Tianpeng immediately said anxiously, "She's involved."

Ouyang Zi's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately turned to ask, "Since she's also involved, this secret must belong to the Kunlun Sect or the Ice River Heroine."

Lan Tianpeng said somewhat awkwardly, "Sister! I beg you not to pursue this matter for now..."

Ouyang Zi immediately asked with concern, "When can I ask?"

Lan Tianpeng smiled without hesitation and said, "When that time comes, I will naturally tell you."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Zi knew that he was referring to after arriving at Lengxiang Valley. Thinking that she could be with her beloved Peng-di brother day and night, and be called "Young Madam" by all the servants, a wave of happiness and sweet comfort immediately rose in her heart. But when she heard Lan Tianpeng use the word "you," she couldn't help but ask with concern, "You mean, this also includes Sister Hui?"

Lan Tianpeng immediately replied seriously, "Of course, since I can't tell you now, I certainly can't tell Sister Hui beforehand."

Ouyang Zi understood the reason for Lan Tianpeng's sullen mood, and her spirits naturally lifted. Moreover, his refusal to reveal other people's secrets to her was a testament to his trustworthiness, something she should be proud of. Naturally, she wouldn't be angry with Lan Tianpeng anymore, especially since his love for her was unconditional. Even so, she still couldn't help but ask with concern, "You just said you especially missed me, why?"

Lan Tianpeng frowned and thought for a moment, then smiled honestly and said, "Why, I don't know either, but I just think of you whenever I'm quiet."

Seeing Lan Tianpeng's honesty, Ouyang Zi unconsciously spoke her true feelings, "Me too..." As she spoke, she blushed and leaned her head warmly against Lan Tianpeng's chest.

Lan Tianpeng passionately leaned down and kissed Ouyang Zi's cheek. He held her delicate hand, gazing at her with deep affection. Ouyang Zi's beautiful eyes also flashed with a strange light. This look intoxicated him, melting him completely. A fire within Lan Tianpeng unexpectedly ignited even stronger, and he suddenly embraced her tightly, kissing her passionately. Everything was so natural, so intense, so sweetly intoxicating.

"Mmm...hold me tight...my...brother Peng..."

Ouyang Zi pointed to her room. Lan Tianpeng scooped her up with both arms, carried her into the room, and placed her on the bed. Ouyang Zi pulled hard, Lan Tianpeng stumbled, and the two tumbled onto the bed, embracing each other. They were like two flames, burning within each other, instantly stripping naked, completely naked. Ouyang Zi was already overflowing with desire, her beautiful eyes filled with longing, her lips curved in a seductive smile, allowing him to caress and tease her. Lan Tianpeng is now quite experienced and skilled in this area, teasing her relentlessly to intensify her desire. Ouyang Zi's body trembled, writhing like a snake, every cell in her body throbbing and vibrating. Ouyang Zi, burning with

passion, stretched out her arms to tightly embrace him, one hand grasping his hard, fiery member and guiding it towards her already overflowing vulva. Lan Tianpeng, a seasoned pro, thrust his hips forward, and with a "plop," he was inside, completely inside. Ouyang Zi felt as if she had drunk a sip of ice water in the sweltering heat, a blissful sensation that penetrated to the bone.

She couldn't help but tremble and whisper, "Ah...brother...brother...so good...sister...sister...it...is...so...pleasant...I'm...dying...with...Peng brother...faster...ah...ah...faster...a...little...move...harder...thrust...in..."

Lan Tianpeng, experienced as he was, held her tightly, his large glans deeply pressed against her core, first kneading and rotating it for a while. Then, with unhurried, gentle thrusting, he pumped in and out forty times, teasing Ouyang Zi like a hungry, thirsty kitten. She held him tightly, twisting her waist and hips, pushing against the fleshy opening of his large glans.

"Brother...brother...harder...ah...ah...pump...harder...sister...it's...so...itchy...it's killing me..." Lan Tianpeng then launched a full-scale attack, his hips swaying rapidly like a galloping horse, thrusting forcefully, his lips also drawing attention to her nipples.

"Ah...dear...brother...brother...sister...it's...so...comfortable...um...so...beautiful...beautiful...to...go...to...heaven...ah...um...ah...really...to...go...to...heaven...ah...faster...faster...faster...a little faster..."

Knowing she was nearing her climax, Lan Tianpeng intensified his assault, thrusting harder and harder. His movements were fluid and mechanical, like a machine. In the midst of the intense and stimulating action, Ouyang Zi couldn't help but tremble, reaching her climax and collapsing. Exhausted, she relaxed her limbs, limp on the bed, and groaned weakly like a dead snake, indicating extreme pleasure.

“Oh…oh…good…brother…I…am…willing…to…my…baby…ah…sister…to…so…pleasant…Luo…brother…pleasant…rest…for…a…time…you…are…too…tired……”

“Good…sister…your…little…tender…hole…is…so…beautiful…so…small…and…tight…fitting…to…penetrate…it…is…so…pleasant…it…makes…my…big…treasure…red…ah…you…flow…so…of…semen…”

He lay on top of her, temporarily ceasing the battle, letting her rest for a while, before conquering her again. He wanted to be entwined with her once more, to make her completely convinced and devoted to him. Ouyang Zi felt that his thick, strong member showed no signs of softening, still proudly pressing against her flower core, eager to move. Curious, she asked, "Brother...brother...how come you...haven't lost your essence yet...looks like it's still very strong..."

Lan Tianpeng laughed smugly, "Sister, I'm still a long way off. I want you to taste the true flavor of my treasure, to completely conquer you, to let you know just how powerful this big treasure really is!" He paused, then said, "Sister, how about we try a different way?"

"What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?" Ouyang Zi was curious and wanted to try something new.

"Sister, how about we play 'Fire from Afar' now?" Ouyang Zi blinked her beautiful eyes, "What's 'Fire from Afar'?" "Sister, this method is incredibly fun, and it's endlessly interesting for men and indescribably wonderful for women. You'll know once you try it.

"

"

So he helped Ouyang Zi up, told her to lie face down on the edge of the bed, stick her buttocks out as far as possible from behind. Lan Tianpeng reached out and gently caressed her breasts, then his left hand slowly and gently slid down her spine to her wet vulva. He first gently rotated his palm on her labia, and her body began to twist with his rotation and friction. Then Lan Tianpeng used his index finger to move up and down in that narrow crevice, sometimes gently digging at her bright red clitoris. Every time Lan Tianpeng did this, she would let out a trembling moan: "Ah...oh...mmm...so...itchy...mmm...um..."

As Lan Tianpeng's finger gently inserted and slowly thrust in and out, it was no small matter. Ouyang Zi's face showed desire and need, and her body twisted even more violently, and her wetness slowly flowed from her vulva with the thrusting of his fingers. She seemed unable to bear the teasing: "Brother...ah...good..." "...Itchy...ah...quick...use your...big treasure...insert it into my little hole...dry sister...use your thick treasure...help sister stop...stop the itch..."

Lan Tianpeng held his treasure and rubbed it against her labia. The tender flesh inside her labia was rubbed by the trembling of the glans, and her whole buttocks swayed violently, her body trembling. She said lasciviously, "Good brother...don't tease sister anymore...I...can't take it...quick...quick...insert it...um...uh...use your big treasure...insert it...fuck...me...fuck me...quick...ah...um..."

He looked down and saw that her wetness had already covered the ground, so he aimed his treasure at the entrance and slowly inserted it. After more than twenty thrusts, his big treasure was fully inserted, but at this time he stopped thrusting. He rubbed his lower abdomen against her labia and swayed his buttocks, making his big treasure rotate violently inside her hole. In this way, Ouyang Zi felt very comfortable, and her moans were continuous.

“Mmm… Oh… Peng, you’re so good at penetrating… I’m surrendering… Ah… Fuck me… Fuck me again… My dear husband… Good brother… I want you to fuck me every day… Mmm… Ah… So good… Oh… My body… You can do whatever you want with it… Mmm… Sigh… I’m yours now… So… beautiful… Ah…”

Lan Tianpeng grabbed Ouyang Zi’s breast with his right hand, rubbing and playing with her nipple with his index finger, while his left hand reached down to pinch and knead her clitoris, which was driving her crazy. Then he thrust his lower abdomen forward and rapidly pumped in and out. Attacked from three sides, she felt like he had only thrust a few dozen times, but she was already completely insane. She cried out wildly, "Oh... my darling brother... this feels so good... harder... thrust in... mmm... mmm..."

Lan Tianpeng thrust forcefully, panting heavily, "Brother... brother... this... way... you... do... feel... pain... pleasure...? Is it... comfortable... or not..."

Ouyang Zi nodded repeatedly, pushing her buttocks back as far as possible, twisting her plump hips, panting heavily, "Good brother... my darling brother... you really know how to play... tonight... you... will... play... sister to death... mmm... so... good... ah... so... beautiful... so comfortable..."

"Mmm... faster... faster... fuck me harder... oh... I'm dying... oh... oh... oh... so... comfortable... ah... ah... thrust... harder... ah... this... one... thrust... into... my... flower... heart..." Her juices sipped, dripping onto the ground. At the same time, her body was covered in fragrant sweat.

Ouyang Zi cried out, "Ah... my darling little brother... I can't take it anymore... ah... God... almost... almost coming out... ah... um... it's... coming out..."

"Sister Zi, I'll carry you to take a bath."

"Mmm." Ouyang Zi wrapped her arms around Lan Tianpeng's neck, nestling in his arms like a little lamb. Lan Tianpeng's penis became erect again, pressing against Ouyang Zi's buttocks.

"Ah... Peng little brother... you... can't... again... I surrender... I really can't."

"Really? Your juices are still flowing."

"You're bad, you're bad! You just bully your sister."

In the bathroom, Lan Tianpeng washed Ouyang Zi's vulva, while Ouyang Zi rubbed Lan Tianpeng's penis. As he rubbed, Lan Tianpeng lifted Ouyang Zi up, pulled her into his arms, and passionately kissed her lips. Ouyang Zi also offered her tongue to his mouth, their two warm, moist tongues intertwining. Meanwhile, Lan Tianpeng's hands continued to caress her breasts and vulva, while Ouyang Zi played with his penis, rubbing it back and forth. After a long while, their lips parted, both panting. Lan Tianpeng lay down in the bathtub, gesturing for Ouyang Zi to sit on him. Ouyang Zi supported his penis and slowly inserted it into her vulva. Suddenly, Lan Tianpeng thrust upwards, slamming the head of his penis against her cervix, causing tears to stream down Ouyang Zi's face.

"Ouch...you don't even care if I can take it, you're doing this so hard!"

"Sister, I'm sorry! I hurt you, I'll just pull it out."

"Sister isn't blaming you, don't pull it out! It just hurts at first, you're not used to it! You can move now."

"Okay, then be careful." At this moment, Ouyang Zi was hungry and lustful, like a fierce jackal, her jade body straddling Lan Tianpeng, rising and falling violently.

“Ah…mmm…beautiful…beautiful…good…good…mmm…mmm…mmm…Hangchu…so comfortable…ah…Peng brother…you…are…so…good…ah…oh…mmm…mmm…so good…so good…”

Lan Tianpeng said, “Sister Zi, you have so much lustful fluid.”

Ouyang Zi said, “You rascal…it’s all your fault…brother…brother…your treasure…is too…too big…oh…it’s making me unable to bear it…I…I love it to death…ah…oh…so…so good…harder…brother…big treasure brother…fuck…fuck…fuck my…little cunt to death…ah…mmm…”

“Today I’m going to make you bleed all your lustful fluid.”

“Oh…oh…darling…darling…you are really…heartless…sigh…oh…you…bad…oh…I…I like…ah…mmm…comfortable…so comfortable…oh…”

Lan Tianpeng said, “Who told you to be so charming and alluring? Beautiful and captivating, so slutty and wanton, so lewd and wanton?”

Ouyang Zi said, "Mmm...uh...good...good...little brother...dear husband...I'm going to die...you rascal...ah...you're going to kill me...you are the...devil...ghost...deadly...treasure...so...thick...and...long...hard...like iron...pounding...me...bone shattered...clouds flying...ah...ah..."

"I'm willing...treasure...I...haven't...tasted...the...big treasure...for so long...brother...ah...mmm...it's so good...no...I can't take it anymore...I've...come again...ah...mmm...oh..."

Ouyang Zi was made to gush with lustful fluids by the thick, long, and huge treasure. Her eyes were wide open and her eyebrows were relaxed. She swayed her hips and her flower heart opened and closed. She was panting and gasping. She was dying and living! She was truly a woman of many lustful behaviors and a woman of countless lustful charms! Lan Tianpeng was brave and skilled in battle, using his techniques to move swiftly and rapidly. Ouyang Zi could no longer resist. Seeing her delicate panting and her fighting spirit despite her exhaustion, he was aroused and continued to advance with renewed vigor. Feeling that he had conquered this seductive woman, he smugly carried Ouyang Zi back to bed.
