The scenery in the Spider Cave is beautiful

The disappearance of Qin Feng and his forty-one men quickly alarmed Zhaoxian Village, prompting a large-scale search by men and townspeople.
Soon, six bodies were found in a house; only footprints remained at the scene. All the bodies had been killed with a single finger, indicating the killer was both skilled and ruthless.
Hou Zhaoxian arrived at the scene and carefully examined it.
Half an hour later, someone discovered signs of collapse near Qingshui Bay, followed by evidence of dismemberment.
Hou Zhaoxian immediately ordered a digging operation.
Soon, based on the extent of bodily fluid seepage, they determined there were many bodies. Further investigation of the forest revealed that many people had been there.
Moreover, some of the boot prints resembled those found in the house!
They immediately began a careful examination and analysis.
After dark, they returned to the village and held a secret meeting.
What should have been a joyous occasion had turned into this predicament, a truly troublesome situation.
At the hour of Xu (7-9 PM), a Beggars' Sect disciple informed Zhu Tianmin and his group that they were having a meal in Black Hole Town, two hundred li away . Steward Hou immediately said, "They seem to be moving too slowly."
Hou Zhaoxian said in a deep voice, "If this is their doing, they will definitely be traveling via mountain paths. Send men to search along the mountain path north of Clear Water Bay."
"Yes! Should we check how many of them are left?"
"Yes, they originally had seventy people. If they were the ones who did it, their numbers would have decreased."
Steward Hou immediately led his men away.
Immediately, Hou Shi asked, "Young Master Zhen Qiang left the manor twice. Is he a suspect?"
"This... let's investigate further!"
Hou Peiyi replied, "Impossible! The times he left the manor don't match the days of the battle, and the time he was away was very short!"
"That makes sense!"
Hou Shi said, "If Qin Feng dies and Zhu Bianzhang leaves the manor, shouldn't Zhen Qiang win?"
"Let's put this matter aside for now! "
The three immediately pondered.
Zhen Nanren, however, leisurely ate his meal and sipped his tea.
After dawn, Steward Hou returned to the manor and reported, "Reporting to the Manor Lord, there are indeed footprints on the mountain path, and quite a few people, extending over two mountain peaks!"
Hou Zhaoxian said in a deep voice, "According to the Beggars' Sect's report, Zhu Tianmin only brought forty-two people to lodging in Heihe Town. Their suspicion is even more obvious!"
"Reporting to the Master, how should we explain this to the Qin Family Fortress?" "
I have already asked the Beggars' Sect to send a letter to Master Chun, including information about Qin Feng's abrupt departure with his men, the fight at Qingshui Bay, and the traces of corpse disposal!"
"Today, you will go with the officials to investigate the two crime scenes. However, for the time being, do not mention the Zhu family's involvement, so as not to offend both the Zhu and Qin families."
"Yes!"
"Regarding the martial arts competition, I will gather Zhen Qiang and the others today to settle things. Tell them to wait for me in the main hall at dawn. I have a plan."
"Yes!"
"Go! Thank you for your hard work!"
Steward Hou immediately agreed and left.
At dawn, Zhen Nanren and his eleventh brother had been waiting in the hall for a short while when Hou Zhaoxian immediately entered and said, "Thank you all for waiting so long. Please allow me to apologize first." "
As he spoke, he immediately cupped his hands in greeting.
Everyone immediately rose to return the greeting.
Hou Zhaoxian said, "According to reports, six people were murdered in a civilian residence in the city. The murderer is believed to be a martial arts figure. If a murder and body disposal also occurred in Qingshui Bay, it is also the work of a martial arts figure."
"Since Young Master Qin and his family left the manor yesterday, they have not been seen. I have already informed Lord Qin of his arrival, so I request that you gentlemen stay for a while."
He then said to Zhao Kui, "I have no intention of asking Kui. May I take my leave?"
"Why don't you stay a few more days, young master?"
"I apologize!"
"To be honest, these two murders may be related to the martial arts contest for marriage in our manor, and even more likely to the conflict between Young Masters Zhu and Qin yesterday." "
I hope that you will stay and testify to Lord Qin, so that Lord Qin may not arbitrarily vent his anger on you gentlemen in the future!" "
Qin Lei's fiery temper is world-renowned, and Zhao Kui immediately agreed to stay.
The others also agreed!
Hou Zhaoxian thanked him before leaving.
As soon as Zhen Nanren returned to his room, he studied the moves of the Jade Fan Prince and Qin Feng.
In the afternoon, Steward Hou pressed Hou Zhaoxian, saying, "Reporting to the Lord, this morning there were rumors in the city that Young Master Zhen had committed murder. I followed the clues and found that it was said by a Qingcheng disciple."
"I met with Zhu Ronghai, and according to him, the boot prints in the house and the boot prints and broken wood marks in the Qingshui Bay forest are quite similar to those of Young Master Zhen."
"Is this true? Have you been to the scene?"
"I have. There are indeed similar boot prints inside the wall and house, but they still need to be compared. As for the broken wood marks on the shore of Qingshui Bay, it is difficult to confirm."
"If that is the case, why would he cooperate with the Zhu family?" "
I'm also puzzled. Logically speaking, since Young Master Zhu seized the opportunity to win, Young Master Zhen wouldn't cooperate with them. I used this reasoning to refute Zhu Ronghai."
"If this matter reaches the Qin family's ears, it will certainly be detrimental to Young Master Zhen. We
should devise a countermeasure as soon as possible." "Could we send people to refute Zhu Ronghai's words everywhere?"
"Very well, everyone knows Zhu Ronghai holds a grudge and has challenged us many times!"
"Yes! However, if it was Young Master Zhen's doing, this estate might be in trouble."
"I don't believe he would do such a thing."
"Yes!"
"You've worked hard, take a rest!"
Steward Hou immediately bowed and withdrew.
Madam Hou whispered, "I don't believe Young Master Zhen would cooperate with the Zhu family."
"Yes!" "
While they were conducting their research, Yuehu, Tianxin, and Tianwa each led fifty girls south in batches. Their plan was to ambush and kill the Qin family's people to settle the matter." Five days later, they had led a hundred men to lodging in the town. After meeting up, they launched their operation in the dead of night.
The Qin family's people lodged in three different inns. They concentrated their attack on Qin Lei and his wife, along with their son and two daughters, while simultaneously killing thirty of their trusted men.
Yuehu, Tianxin, and Tianwa stormed into Qin Lei's room, immediately killing Qin Lei and his wife. Their men then attacked the remaining people.
The screams immediately attracted the Qin family's people lodging in two other places. Tianxin and Tianwa quickly led eighty men to intercept and kill them.
They were prepared and used poisoned nails, immediately gaining the upper hand. In less than half an hour, all the Qin family's people were dead.
They quickly used a corpse-dissolving potion to destroy the corpses and weapons.
The bodies of the twelve girls were also destroyed in the corpse-dissolving potion.
After a long while, they finally left.
To avoid being discovered, they ran in the opposite direction.
Half an hour later, they turned back.
Curious people who had followed them were immediately killed or had their bodies mutilated.
They circled around for a long time before finally leaving through the mountains at night.
The next evening, the Beggars' Sect sent a letter informing them of Qin Lei and his group being slaughtered and their bodies mutilated in the town. Hou Zhaoxian frowned upon seeing this.
Manager Hou said, "The Zhu family continued north, so it's not their doing. It seems the two cases in this city weren't their doing either."
Hou said, "Perhaps it was a tactic by the Zhu family to mislead people."
"Yes! Yes!"
Hou Zhaoxian sighed, "I shouldn't have held the martial arts contest to choose a husband!"
Hou said, "What's done is done, why go back on your word? Why not choose a day for the wedding ceremony?"
"Very well, let's choose the Mid-Autumn Festival!"
"Alright!"
Soon, Hou Zhaoxian and his entourage were invited into the hall. As soon as Hou Zhaoxian and his wife were seated, he immediately said, "My mind is made up, Young Master Zhen is the perfect son-in-law."
Zhao Kui and the others immediately congratulated him with smiles.
Zhen Nanren immediately smiled and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Master."
"I have chosen the Mid-Autumn Festival for our wedding ceremony. Please inform your parents."
"I have lost my father many years ago!"
"Your teacher once guided my late father, so we have some connection!" "It
is my greatest honor! " "
My dear son-in-law, please rest assured and stay at the manor. I will arrange everything for the wedding ceremony."
"Yes!"
"Young Master Zhao, welcome to join us for a celebratory drink."
Zhao Kui smiled and said, "I will be returning home soon and will come to offer my congratulations then."
"Very well!"
Soon, Zhao Kui and his entourage packed their belongings and departed leisurely.
The red invitations for Zhen Nanren and Pei Yi's Mid-Autumn Festival wedding were quickly posted everywhere.
A wave of congratulatory guests immediately arrived.
Zhen Nanren then accompanied Hou Zhaoxian and his wife to receive the guests.
At dusk, Zhen Nanren and the Hou Zhaoxian family of four happily dined. After the meal, they chatted for a while before Zhen Nanren was led to a secluded manor.
Two maids immediately brought him household items and offered their greetings.
Zhen Nanren rewarded each of them with a silver ingot before happily taking a bath.
After bathing, he enjoyed tea.
From the next day onwards, Hou Peiyi and her brother accompanied him daily.
On the fourth day, Hou Peiyi began to accompany him alone!
The two were mutually attracted, and their feelings deepened.
Time flew by, and the annual Mid-Autumn Festival arrived amidst the city's anticipation. Guests flocked to Zhaoxian Manor early in the morning.
Zhen Nanren, already dressed in his finest attire, watched the guests through the window. He recalled his past poverty and present triumph, and couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.
He couldn't help but think of the gentle and tender Tian Xin.
At the auspicious hour, Zhen Nanren, accompanied by the wedding attendant, greeted Hou Peiyi and entered the hall for the wedding ceremony.
The hall was filled with dignitaries. The ceremony was completed amidst melodious music and blessings from the guests. Upon returning to his room, Zhen Nanren, according to custom, drank the incense wine with his bride.
Then, the two returned to the hall to entertain the guests.
Hou Zhaoxian, beaming with joy, greeted the guests, who were all delighted.
A little over an hour later, after seeing off the guests, they happily returned to their room.
The room was filled with the fragrance of dragon and phoenix candles, which instantly filled Zhen Nanren's heart with joy. He used a ruler to lift the red veil and removed Hou Peiyi's phoenix crown.
Her wedding robes followed, and then
her wedding attire was removed piece by piece. Soon, she shyly slipped into the brocade quilt
, still wearing her undergarments. He stripped naked and embraced her.
Before long, she drifted off to sleep with a captivating smile.
He, however, was completely absorbed in admiring her alluring beauty.
Only after a long while did he finally fall asleep himself.
The next morning, the two went together to the hall to pay their respects to Hou Zhaoxian and his wife. They had already learned of their daughter's satisfaction from the previous night's events and the live broadcast.
Seeing his daughter's charm now filled him with even greater joy.
They chatted happily.
At dusk, after their meal, she immediately accompanied him for a walk around the estate.
Not long after, they returned to their room, and she immediately and shyly undressed.
At this time, the Moon Fox and the Maiden, each carrying a sack of rice, rushed to the wooden houses halfway up Five Finger Mountain. They wanted to make amends for the thousand deceased Li people.
Seeing that the Li people had returned to their homes, they placed the sacks of rice in front of their doors.
They made six trips back and forth, leaving a sack of rice in front of each house. They unloaded their burdens and placed gold on top of the rice sacks.
At midday, they departed with peace of mind.
They then traveled in groups to Zhaoxian Village.
Yuehu and Tian Xin rode in the same carriage. Yuehu immediately took out a deposit slip and said, "Keep these 35 million taels of silver and the seal safe. Don't lose them."
"Yes! Why didn't you leave them
, Master?" "They're not needed right now. Do you miss him?"
"Yes, but I won't disturb him."
"Right, let's grant his wish first. He'll come looking for you."
"Yes, shall we still go to Zhaoxian Manor?"
"That's right, we must protect him secretly."
"Yes!"
They each closed their eyes to rest.
Early in the morning of September 15th, Zhen Nanren was awakened by the sound of vomiting. Seeing his beloved wife bent over in the inner room, he immediately asked, "Yi-mei, what's wrong?" "
I...I think I'm pregnant!"
"Oh my god!"
He was completely stunned!
He shook his head, thinking, "Impossible. Xinmei and the other two have been with me for so long, and they haven't had any good news. She's only been with me for a month!"
He immediately stepped forward to help her up, asking, "Really?"
"Yes! My period always arrives on time on the 28th of each month, and it's been more than half a month late. I might be pregnant!"
"Oh my god! I...I'm so happy!
" She let out another soft "uh," and hurriedly turned her head towards the small plate.
He immediately gently patted her back to help her breathe.
Soon, she rinsed her mouth and wiped her lips, saying, "I'll go let Mother take a look!"
"I'll go with you."
"Okay!"
As soon as the door opened, Madam Hou was already at the door, saying, "Yi'er, you..."
"I might be pregnant!"
"That's wonderful! Sit down quickly!"
As soon as the two sat down, Madam Hou immediately took her daughter's pulse.
Zhen Nanren was so happy he couldn't sit still!
Madam Hou smiled and said, "My dear son-in-law, for the next month, Yi'er needs to rest and prepare for childbirth. She can no longer serve you, so I will instruct Xiaoxian to serve you."
"No!" "No! Forget it!"
Hou Peiyi said with a smile, "Xiaoxian entered the manor at the age of six. I've always regarded her as a younger sister. She's also very beautiful and well-behaved. You should take her in!"
"I...we'll meet another day! Mother, shouldn't Yi-mei have some nourishing food?"
"Yes, I'll arrange it, don't worry."
"Thank you, Mother!"
As soon as Hou left the room, he couldn't help but hug and kiss his beloved wife.
"Husband, I want to give you many sons, okay?"
"Yes, the more the better."
The two immediately snuggled together.
Soon, Xiaoxian brought in breakfast and bowed, saying, "Congratulations, son-in-law, young lady!"
"Xiaoxian, thank you."
"Young lady, Madam instructed me to bring this package of pastries. Please keep it!"
As she spoke, she presented the candied fruit. As
soon as she left, Zhen Nanren and his companion happily began their meal
. After the meal, Madam Hou brought Xiaoxian into the room. Xiaoxian brought over a bowl of nourishing soup, and Hou Peiyi immediately took a spoon and sipped it with a shy delight.
Hou Zhaoxian then entered, laughing heartily.
As soon as he entered the room, he smiled and said, "Double the joy! That's wonderful!"
"Father, I heard that Brother De is getting married next spring!"
"Yes! The bride is Zhao Min, the younger sister of Zhao Kui!"
"That's wonderful! Congratulations!"
"Haha! Thank you! I will be going to Mount Hua next month to celebrate Elder Gui's birthday. My son-in-law, please come along!"
"Alright!"
"Elder Gui is eighty years old and is the most respected senior in the martial arts world today. Last time, a disciple from Mount Hua came to participate in the martial arts competition, which shows Elder Gui's support for us."
"Yes!"
"The leaders of various sects have long admired your name. They have repeatedly invited me to accompany you on your visit. Take advantage of the opportunity to celebrate Elder Gui's birthday to get to know them!"
"Yes!"
"By the way, have you heard of Zhen Nanren?"
"I don't recognize him. What's wrong with him?"
"This man was originally the successor of the 'Love-Slaying Master.' In order to avenge the Love-Slaying Master, he begged for medicine and skills from all sides, but disappeared for a long time because he was repeatedly rejected."
"According to a secret imperial decree, he has deposited 35 million taels of silver in an official bank. The authorities have entrusted our bank to secretly investigate the source and use of his money."
"Does Father have dealings with the authorities?"
"We value harmony above all else and have never offended either the legitimate or criminal elements, nor the authorities. Furthermore, we are very good at keeping secrets. Therefore, the authorities have secretly entrusted us to investigate this person." "
How does Father plan to proceed?"
"The authorities have provided the location of his deposits, and I have already sent people to investigate along the lines."
"If Father finds out, will he tell the authorities?"
"Yes, it won't matter anyway!"
"If it won't matter, why does the authorities want to investigate?"
"Perhaps because someone is curious? In fact, with the current interest rates, he could receive 2.1 million taels of interest annually!"
"That's astonishing! What if he doesn't collect it?"
"With interest calculated together, it's quite considerable."
"Yes! What has the Zhu family been up to?"
"After returning to Luoyang, they have rarely contacted the outside world."
"The Zhu family must be incredibly wealthy."
“Yes! They prospered from salt sales, and in the last thirty years they've owned half of all the shops in Luoyang. Their wealth is truly astonishing.”
“Has the authorities investigated them?”
“Yes, they have established excellent relationships with high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the imperial court. They've made their fortune through these relationships over the years!”
Zhen Nanren thought, “I can make this kind of money with peace of mind!”
“Father! Has their wealth attracted the attention of underworld figures?”
“Of course, but they have their own ways of dealing with it.”
“If Father were to marry into their family, it would surely…”
“Haha, a match made in heaven!”
“Yes!”
“You need to stretch your muscles a bit recently to prepare for the Mount Hua gathering.”
“Is it necessary to resort to violence?”
“Someone might challenge you to a fight!”
“I won't embarrass Father.”
“Haha, very good. You keep Yi’er company!”
With that, he immediately left happily.
Hou Peiyi whispered, "I just asked Xiaoxian. She's willing to serve you."
"I...I have to practice martial arts!"
"Practicing martial arts also requires regulating your mind and body!"
"Don't waste her youth."
"Fool, her being with you is a great blessing."
"I...I..."
"She's already moved into the room across the hall; you can go see her anytime."
"Alright, I'm going to practice!"
With that, he went into the next room.
He sighed, immediately thinking, "Damn it! How could Yuehu and the others have deposited that money in my real name? The Zhu family will definitely be suspicious!"
He immediately paced back and forth in the room.
After a long while, he finally settled down to practice his moves.
For ten consecutive days, he practiced martial arts day and night in his study, only returning to his room to rest with Hou Peiyi around midnight. His days were peaceful and regular.
That night, after he undressed and bathed, he lifted the bed curtains and smelled a strange fragrance. Looking closely, he immediately saw Xiao Xian lying shyly on the bed.
Her beautiful hair was draped over the pillow, her snow-white shoulders half-exposed, adding to her alluring charm.
"This lowly...this humble concubine serves...my lord..."
He had no choice but to submit!
She immediately closed her eyes in embarrassment.
He gently embraced her, saying, "Xiao Xian, I will not betray you."
"Thank you! Thank you!"
Her nervousness immediately made him tenderly pull her into his arms. He then gently kissed and caressed her.
On the Double Ninth Festival, after Hou Zhaoxian led his children and Zhen Nanren to pay respects to their ancestors, they immediately set off for Mount Hua. Twenty skilled warriors from the manor accompanied them, providing food, lodging, and protection.
Yuehu, Tian Xin, and Tianwa then led six others to follow.
That evening, after they checked into the inn, Zhen Nanren made an excuse to go for a stroll. Not long after leaving, he saw a middle-aged man smiling and calling out, "Sister, is that you?" The
middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he nodded with a smile and turned to leave.
Soon, the two entered the woods outside the town. They sped deeper into the forest, when the middle-aged man suddenly stopped, turned around, and opened his arms.
Zhen Nanren immediately stepped forward and hugged her tightly.
"Brother, hold on tighter."
"Sister, I missed you so much!"
"Really? I thought you were delirious with joy
!" "How could I dare!"
"Xin'er and the others are nearby, let's have some fun!"
"Okay!"
The two quickly stripped off their clothes and immediately began their physical encounter. She straddled him, and he immediately began to vent his desires like a wolf!
He immediately caressed her body to arouse her.
After a long while, both were satisfied.
Two young men immediately brought a bucket of water and bathing utensils. Zhen Nanren called out, "Wa Mei, Xin Mei,"
and immediately embraced and kissed them passionately.
Yuehu smiled and said, "Don't stay out too long, let's enjoy ourselves tomorrow night!"
He then happily entered the bath.
Tian Xin and the other woman helped him, and after bathing and dressing, he finally left.
Soon, he returned to the inn, savoring the pleasure of their secret tryst for a long time before finally drifting off to sleep with a happy mood.
He then spent time playing with the three women along the way.
On the morning of September 17th, as soon as they arrived at the Huashan Sect, they immediately saw the sect leader, Gui Dezhu, leading three direct disciples and a hundred third-generation disciples to warmly greet them.
Hou Zhaoxian immediately smiled and said, "Your son-in-law, Zhen Qiang."
Zhen Nanren immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Sect Leader."
"Hmm! A fine character indeed, truly living up to your reputation."
"I dare not accept such praise, Sect Leader, please give me your guidance."
"Haha! You're too kind! Please allow me to introduce my disciple."
He immediately introduced the Three Swordsmen of Mount Hua.
Both sides immediately exchanged polite greetings.
Soon, as they entered, they saw the elderly Gui Yongtai sitting in the hall with a smile. Hou Zhaoxian immediately stepped forward with a gift and bowed, saying, "Congratulations on your longevity, Elder Gui."
"Hehe! Very good, please sit!"
"Let me introduce you to my son-in-law, Zhen Qiang."
Zhen Nanren immediately bowed and said, "Congratulations on your long life, Elder Gui."
"Hehe! Good! Good! Come! Let me see you!"
Zhen Nanren stepped forward with a smile, but thought to himself, "Damn! I hope he doesn't see through my disguise!"
Gui Yongtai looked him up and down and smiled, "Good character, Zhaoxian, you have good eyes."
"Thank you for your kind words, Elder Gui!"
"Hehe! Young man, I heard you are the last disciple of Brother Zhu (the Six Harmonies Elder's name is Zhu Qing), is that right?"
"Yes!"
"Did he mention me?"
"My master only mentioned 'Soaring Crane to Capture Dragon'."
"Hehe! What a sweet tongue! I sparred with your master three times back then, and I lost every time. Your master is the person I admire most."
"I hope Elder Gui will give me some guidance."
"Very well, there are no outsiders here, so please demonstrate!"
"Yes!"
With an expert present, Zhen Nanren immediately focused on practicing the Six Harmonies Palm Technique.
Gui Yongtai watched with his brows furrowing and his expression showing confusion.
As soon as Zhen Nanren finished his move, he immediately asked, "How long has your master been instructing you?"
"Three years!"
"No wonder your moves are a bit off."
"Please give me some guidance, Elder Gui."
"Please demonstrate it again!"
"Yes!"
Zhen Nanren and Yuehu practiced the moves using the Six Harmonies Palm Technique manual, of course, without being personally taught by the Six Harmonies Elder. However, he had another excuse and demonstrated it again.
"Hmm! Come with me for a moment."
With that, he immediately stood up with a smile.
Zhen Nanren followed nervously for a short while before entering a pill-making room. Gui Yongtai's expression turned solemn, and he immediately asked, "How did your master cultivate your skill?"
"He cultivated it for me using both medicine and internal energy."
"That's not right! Your skill seems to be more yin than yang!" "I recently got married and have a concubine, which may have damaged my yang."
"No! No! Your yang is not damaged, it's just that your yin is too strong. Come!"
As he spoke, he immediately took Zhen Nanren's pulse.
Zhen Nanren's heart immediately began to pound wildly!
After a long while, Gui Yongtai released his hand and said, "You've practiced the art of 'replenishing the body'?"
"Yes! It was taught to me by my late master."
"Hmm! Did your master perhaps comprehend the 'Nine-Nine Returning to the Origin Heart Method' before his death?"
"My late master never explained it!" "
Did your master die a peaceful death? Or did he die in an accident?"
"A peaceful death! Before his death, my late master bequeathed his internal energy to me and instructed me to scatter his ashes on Mount Tai!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but bow his head as if in mourning.
"Your master is always so carefree, please sit!"
The two immediately sat down a few steps apart.
"Young man, in your Six Harmonies Palm Technique, three moves are out of form, but six have been significantly improved, which shows your superior wisdom."
He immediately pointed out the three out-of-form moves.
Zhen Nanren, seeing the clouds through the mist, thanked him gladly.
That day, he practiced those three moves in the alchemy room. Gui Yongqin observed Zhen Nanren while instructing him. Zhen Nanren's concentration immediately impressed him.
He couldn't help but ask repeatedly, "With his current reputation and beautiful wife, he is actually willing to learn so diligently. This demeanor proves that Zhu Qing's teaching is effective. I am ashamed to admit my inferiority!"
He immediately began to carefully instruct him.
As dusk fell, a crisp cry of "Grandpa!" rang out, followed by a flash of yellow. Zhen Nanren withdrew his attack and immediately thought, "So beautiful.
Huashan Yilian is even more beautiful!"
The yellow figure was a stunningly beautiful young woman. Upon seeing Zhen Nanren, she immediately stopped and stared at him. Zhen Nanren smiled and said, "Miss Gui, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
"You...you are the son-in-law of Zhaoxian?"
"Zhaoxian? What do you mean?"
"I...you are the son-in-law of Master Hou, aren't you?" " Indeed
!" "I've heard so much about you !" "I dare not accept such praise!" Gui Yongtai chuckled and said, "Lian'er, you're back?" The young woman immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Yes! I've come back especially to wish you a happy birthday!" "Hehe! Very well, how is the nun?" "She's in good health, but she's even less talkative now!" "Hmm! Did she play the zither on Qixi Festival?" " It was playing the zither that caused the trouble; she broke her three-stringed instrument!" "What? Broken three-stringed instrument? How could that be?" "Who knew that from that day on, she never uttered a single idle word. Even when she gave me pointers, she only gave me the essentials. However, she asked me to pass on a message!" "What message?" "Wolf Devouring the Moon, just those three words!" Gui Yongtai's expression changed, and he immediately locked his sword shoulder. "Grandpa, what does 'wolf swallowing the moon' mean?" "I'm still pondering it!" "But you seem to understand, even seem to agree!" "Hehe! That's not true. How long will you be back?" "My master has allowed me to return home!" "You've mastered your skills and are going down the mountain!" "Yes!" "Have you mastered 'Laughing Pointing at the Tathagata'?" "I've reached forty percent." Gui Yongtai pondered, "The nun instructed Lian'er to go down the mountain early and bring back the words 'wolf swallowing the moon.' Could it be that she has grasped the Zen principle from the broken string and realized that the dandelion has ambitions?" " I'm thinking about how to continue training you. " "Don't send me out to learn any more skills!" "Missing home?" "A little! But I've learned enough!" "Wrong! Learning has no end. You have such talent, don't waste it!" "I want to spend more time with you!" "Hehe, alright, I won't arrange for you to go out to learn any more skills!" "Thank you, Grandpa? " "Hehe! Little brother, I've neglected you!" " Zhen Nanren smiled and said, "It's alright, this junior is enjoying the joys of family life!" "Hehe! By the way, let's talk about you!" Zhen Nanren immediately began recounting his fabricated life story. The girl couldn't help but say, "Quite a difficult life!" "My life has been truly bitter!"

"No way! You're the only one in the world fortunate enough to be the son-in-law of Zhaoxian Manor! I heard Qin Feng is dead, and Zhu Jianzhang is disfigured. How can anyone be as lucky as you?" "
Extremely fortunate!"
Gui Yongtai said, "Lian'er, Young Master Zhu might accompany Manor Lord Zhu to celebrate his birthday. He has already healed his whip marks with medicine, so please don't mention it again."
"Yes!"
"Young man, you might as well stay here a little longer. I'll come here when I have time."
"Yes, thank you for your guidance, Elder Gui!"
"Hehe! I'm just your teacher, how could I neglect you?"
"I'm very grateful."
The girl asked, "Young Master Zhen, are you practicing the Soaring Crane Dragon Technique here?"
"No, I don't have such good fortune!"
Gui Yongtai chuckled, "He wouldn't stoop to practicing it!"
"Then why? What happened?"
"His Six Harmonies Palm technique is amazing! I'm just adding a finishing touch. Don't expect me to teach you sword moves!"
"How annoying! Others bend their arms inward, but you're protecting outsiders. How annoying!"
"Hehe! You're jealous!"
A yellow shadow flashed. She had already darted out of the alchemy room.
"Hehe! Young man, please excuse my rudeness!"
"What a delightful scene!" "Hehe! If you can eat vegetarian food, then dine with me here tonight!"
"Alright!"
Gui Shuiquan immediately summoned a servant and gave the order.
Soon, the two were dining in the alchemy room. Zhen Nanren was eating vegetarian food for the first time, and he couldn't help but savor every bite.
After the meal, Shuanyong accompanied him to the courtyard. Gazing at the mountains in the darkness, he couldn't help but say, "Young man, you've lived on Mount Sumeru for so long, you must love the mountains!"
"Yes! I love the mountains' silent strength, their resilience against wind and rain, their unwavering presence!"
"Indeed! The silence you speak of is extremely important. Martial arts training lies in training the mind, and training the mind lies in training the mouth. 'Silence is golden,' a timeless maxim!"
"Yes!"
"Did your master ever mention 'Wolf Devouring the Moon'?"
"No, my late master passed away early; why would I fear 'Wolf Devouring the Moon'?"
"Could you explain the meaning of 'Wolf Devouring the Moon'?"
"It's a code name. Only your master, the Nine-Fingered Nun, and I understand that it represents the resurgence and rampage of dandelions, which is my greatest worry."
"Isn't dandelion a flower name?"
"It's the alias of an evil person named Ma Zhuang. He wreaked havoc twenty years ago, but was driven back by the combined efforts of your master, the Nine-Fingered Nun, and myself. His talents have remained dormant ever since."
"I've heard he's been secretly building up his power over the years. If he resurfaces, we're in grave danger!"
"Has Elder Gui informed the various factions?"
"The various factions were all harmed by him back then, and have been very cautious these past years. However, since the factions are in the open, it's not only difficult to guard against hidden attacks, but they can also be fatal!"
"Why don't the various factions work together to eliminate him?"
"He repented and went into seclusion back then, that would have been the end of it!"
"Alas! The nun is merciful, and I'm too soft-hearted! Alas!"
"Elder Gui, do you have any other plans?"
"I can only remind everyone during this time when all the heroes have gathered."
"If he resurfaces, your faction will surely be the first to suffer, won't it?"
"Indeed! Alas!"
"Is there anything I can do to help?"
"This…we'll discuss it then! Young man, would you be willing to learn my humble skills?"
"Ah! Elder Gui, are you going to teach me a secret technique? Will the two palm techniques work together?"
"They will work together. Back then, your master and I sparred and researched for a period of time, and there are at least seven techniques that can complement each other. You should learn those seven techniques!"
“But I have no connection with Elder Gui, how can I learn his skills?”
“This… I don’t care about such things!”
“But your sect should have such rules!”
“This… indeed, I shouldn’t teach skills in private, but…”
“Elder Gui! I don’t want to cause you any trouble, let’s discuss it another day!”
“Alright, go back to your room and practice those three moves!”
“Do I have the pleasure of staying in the alchemy room?”
“Hehe! The alchemy room is the most basic place in our sect, I’m sorry to trouble you!”
“It’s my honor!”
“Hehe! You can practice slowly! I’ll go take a look at the front!”
With that, he immediately walked away with a smile.
Gui Dezhu, the head of the Jiuhua Mountain Sect, and his wife met with Gui Shuitai in the study. Gui Dezhu said, "Father, Nun, Lian'er was warned. What should we do?"
"I was just about to discuss this with you."
"Father, give your orders!" "Besides asking the Beggars' Sect to help monitor the Ma family, our sect also needs to send people to monitor them."
"Yes, I will send my junior brother with people."
"Very good. In addition, unless necessary, do not let the disciples go down the mountain, so that they can concentrate on training and defense."
"Yes!"
"I talked with Zhen Qiang today and also gave him some pointers on his moves. He has extraordinary comprehension and is very focused. I offered to teach him the Soaring Crane Capturing Dragon technique, but he politely declined."
"How could he refuse?"
"He didn't want me to put Jiuhua Mountain in a difficult position."
"That's rare! Anyone else would have agreed immediately!"
"Indeed, I am even more determined to teach him the technique. Do you have any alternative methods?"
As he spoke, he immediately looked at his wife.
Gui Shi understood and said, "Father, give your instructions!"
"I have an idea, you two should consider it, is it possible for him to marry Lian'er?"
Gui Dezhu and his wife were taken aback!
Gui said, "Lian'er has always been proud and arrogant; I'm afraid she won't accept a second wife!"
Gui Yongtai said, "I understand; I'm also hesitant about this."
After a pause, he sighed and said, "With Zhen Qiang's cultivation, he can definitely use two sets of ultimate techniques simultaneously. This is the only way to counter Dandelion's 'Thunder Palm'!"
Gui Dezhu said to Gui, "Madam, please sound out Lian'er's opinion first!"
"Alright!"
Gui Yongtai said, "This matter should be handled carefully to avoid any negative impact. It's best to proceed as soon as possible, because Zhen Qiang will leave after celebrating her birthday."
"Yes!"
Gui Yongtai sighed and asked, "Is Zhu Tianmin coming?"
"He should arrive by tomorrow noon."
"Is Zhu Jianzhang coming?"
"No!"
"That's good, it saves everyone from embarrassment!"
"Indeed, the Zhu and Hou families may have fallen out!"
"Alas! Zhaoxian shouldn't have held such a blatant martial arts contest to choose a husband."
"Yes!"
The three couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh inwardly!
Late at night, Gui Dezhu invited Gui Yongtai to the front yard. As soon as they entered the pavilion, he whispered, "Lian'er is very understanding. She has agreed to the marriage, but she has one condition."
"What condition?" "
She won't consummate the marriage until the dandelion is destroyed."
"This child... you gave in to her?"
"No, please give your instructions, Father."
Let me probe Zhen Qiang's tone! Has Zhu Tianmin met Zhao Xian? "
Yes, they exchanged pleasantries briefly, but haven't met again since."
"Let nature take its course! Will the leaders of the various sects arrive tomorrow?"
"Yes, please preside over the banquet, Father."
"Good. If Zhen Qiang agrees to Lian'er's proposal, I will announce the good news. In principle, there will be no wedding ceremony, so as not to provoke Dandelion to launch an attack prematurely."
"Why not keep it a secret?"
"This... will Lian'er agree?"
"She is very understanding and will definitely agree."
"Alright, let's prioritize the overall situation!"
"Father, according to the Beggars' Sect, an eight-horse carriage appeared in Xiangyang this morning. The entourage consisted entirely of young men, handsome, with fine horses and exceptional riding skills."
"The Beggars' Sect judges they'll be coming to join the fun. I'm worried they might be part of Dandelion's group, so I've already arranged for someone to prepare a response."
"Very good. If Dandelion wants to make a comeback, he'll definitely join the fun. Besides, Zhen Qiang's skill is more yin than yang; I plan to give him the 'Seven Star Orchid,' what do you think?"
"Yes!"
"You must persuade Wen'er and Wu'er."
"They understand the greater good, Father, don't worry!"
"Very good! If I reach an agreement with Zhen Qiang tomorrow morning, after his birthday celebration the day after tomorrow, arrange for him to take the 'Seven Star Orchid.' This matter shouldn't be known by too many disciples."
"Yes!" "
Zhu'er, if Dandelion makes a comeback, we'll be the first to be affected. If the situation becomes critical, I will live and die with Mount Hua. You should take your men and leave to preserve our strength."
"Father, don't worry, nothing will happen." "You and I both know that Mount Hua is getting weaker with each generation!"
"Enough, the birthday celebration is approaching. Let's rest!"
The two immediately returned to their rooms to rest.
As dawn broke, the winter chill was still palpable, yet Zhen Nanren was already practicing his palm strikes in the open space in front of the alchemy room. Although he restrained his strength, his moves were still incredibly powerful.
After a long while, he finished his practice and let out a satisfied sigh.
"Young man, take a break, please have your meal!"
"I apologize for disturbing Elder Gui!"
"Hehe! It's nothing. I am very pleased with your progress!"
Zhen Nanren went inside to wash up and then accompanied Gui Yongtai to his meal.
After the meal, Gui Shuitai, after giving instructions for a short while, immediately said, "Young man, I have a workaround for you to practice my moves, but I need your cooperation."
"Please speak!"
"If you and Lian'er marry, this matter will be easily resolved."
"I dare not, I am not fortunate enough."
"Time is of the essence, no need for formalities."
"This... I must consult my father-in-law!" "Of
course! However, Lian'er hopes to eliminate Dandelion before consummating the marriage, what do you say?"
"Alright! Only this will put my mind at ease."
"Very good, good boy!"
"Greetings, Grandfather."
Saying this, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times.
"Hehe! Get up! Get up!"
"Yes!"
"Qiang'er! To avoid attracting Dandelion's attention, I will have to trouble you! I do not intend to announce the good news, nor will I hold a wedding ceremony!"
"Yes, a person of the martial world should be flexible and adaptable."
"Indeed, you concentrate on practicing your moves, I will go to see the congratulatory guests."
"Yes!" "As soon as Gui Yongtai left, Zhen Qiang clenched his fist and thought to himself, 'What kind of luck am I having? Wow! It's going
so smoothly! Everything is so perfect!' After a long while, he finally settled down to practice his martial arts.
Half an hour later, Hou Zhaoxian arrived with a smile, and Zhen Nanren, knowing what was going on, immediately went to greet him.
'Qiang'er, congratulations!'
'Thank you! I still need to ask for Father's permission!'
'Gladly agree, haha!'
'Thank you for your kindness, Father.'
'You can stay here and focus on your martial arts training. After Yi'er gives birth, I will send someone to deliver a message here.'
'Thank you, Father!'
'As far as I know, your master's and Master Gui's techniques complement each other perfectly. If you can use them simultaneously, you will not have difficulty becoming the number one martial artist in the world in the future!'
'I still need Father's guidance!'
'Haha! I won't bother you anymore!'
With that, he immediately left happily.
Zhen Nanren secretly exclaimed, 'Wow! It's all done!'" "I must wait for an opportunity to tell Yuehu and the others." He had already spread out a piece of paper and written down the details of the wedding and martial arts practice.
He dried the ink with his internal energy and put it into his pocket. He composed himself and then focused on practicing his moves again. The crowd was bustling, and the guests made the Huashan Sect lively. Zhen Nanren had put aside his martial arts practice early in the morning and followed Hou Zhaoxian through the crowd. The leaders and elders of various sects were his main targets. Many of the young people participating in the martial arts competition responded to him indifferently, but he was too lazy to pay attention to these minor characters. At around 7 a.m., Gui Dezhu hurriedly came and said, "Young Master Zhen, please let me pass by to talk." Zhen Nanren knew that something was going on and immediately followed. As soon as the two entered the room, Gui Dezhu immediately said, "Cui Ji sent twenty of her subordinates disguised as men to deliver a coffin. Go and help stop them from going up the mountain." "Yes! Can we hurt people?" "Try to avoid it. Wen'er will take you there." "Yes!" Immediately, a middle-aged man appeared at the door and said, "Father, the battle has begun!" "Go quickly!" Zhen Nanren and Gui Chengwen immediately left through the back door. Soon, they had descended the mountain path. Zhen Nanren suddenly saw a group of people fiercely fighting in front of a magnificent carriage. He shouted, "Stop!" and immediately rushed forward. Gui Chengwen had barely seen a blur before Zhen Nanren had already covered more than thirty zhang. Overjoyed, he immediately shouted as he flew, "Disciples of this sect, stop!" The fighting sides immediately retreated. Zhen Nanren landed in front of the twenty white-clad youths. He immediately faced the carriage and said in a deep voice, "What do you want? Come at me!" A cold voice came from inside the carriage: "Who are you?" "Zhen Qiang!" "You are Hou Zhaoxian's son-in-law?" "Indeed!" "This matter has nothing to do with you or Juxian Manor. Step back!" "What is it?" "Do you want to build a beam?" "That's right!" "Good; you can fight for a while first." "Alright!" "Go!" Three young men approached, swords drawn. Zhen Nanren, his feet planted firmly on the ground, immediately focused his attention. The three swords flashed simultaneously, thrusting from the three directions. Unwilling to waste time and eager to establish his authority, Zhen Nanren unleashed his full power with a Six Harmonies Palm strike. Within three moves, one sword was knocked away. Zhen Nanren grabbed the attacker, intending to push him towards the other two, but he suddenly grasped something soft and was immediately startled!

He looked at his opponent, two more swords already thrusting towards him.
He swiftly clapped his left palm, the force of which deflected both swords.
He said softly, "Excuse me!" and withdrew.
Immediately, a voice came from inside the carriage: "I wish to present a coffin to Gui Yongtai, do you intend to stop me?"
"That wouldn't be appropriate! Today is Old Master Gui's 80th birthday, let's not provoke him!"
"He's lived enough!"
"Why choose today? I'll host, let's go into the city for a gathering, how about it?"
"Are you really going to lay the coffin?"
"Sorry, I'm in charge!"
"Do you know the rules and consequences?"
"Don't drag our affairs into this, I'll take full responsibility!"
"Fine! I'll meet you!"
Immediately, a woman leaped out of the carriage. This woman was both beautiful and aloof, her sharp eyes filled with murderous intent with every blink.
Jia Chengwen called out, "Madam!" and her expression changed.
As soon as the woman landed, she said to Gui Chengwen, "Hmph! You, as the grandson of Gui Yongtai, let outsiders interfere in this matter. You really know how to save face for the Huashan Sect!"
Gui Chengwen blushed. Zhen
Nanren quickly changed the subject, "May I ask your name?"
"I am Cui Ji's head maid. Boy, do you really want to take the lead?"
"Yes!"
"Alright, I'll grant your wish. Make your move!"
As she spoke, she had already rolled up two long sleeves.
Zhen Nanren guessed that she was going to use "Water Sleeve Skill," so he cut in and attacked her shoulders. However, she shook her sleeves, creating two waves.
The energy surged and quickly enveloped Zhen Nanren's chest and abdomen.
Zhen Nanren wanted to finish the fight quickly, so he immediately cut at her sleeves.
With two "thuds," the ends of her sleeves were cut off.
"Little Yu, you're despicable!"
He immediately scolded her as she spun around and waved her sleeves!
The energy immediately swept out in all directions.
Zhen Nanren calmly launched his attacks, each move imbued with powerful force. In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the maid's sleeves were shattered and fell to the ground.
She immediately launched a furious, relentless attack!
Zhen Nanren's attacks became increasingly successful, and he immediately launched a full-force assault.
"Bang!" The maid clutched her shoulder and staggered backward.
Six young men immediately stood before her, swords
drawn. Zhen Nanren withdrew his hand and stood still.
The maid sighed. He said in a deep voice, "Good! Very good! I won't let you go."
"I'll take full responsibility, just so others won't be implicated, okay?"
"Don't worry, the grievances have their source, the debts have their debtors. I'll skin you alive, let's go!"
With that, she immediately leaped onto the carriage.
Soon, twenty knights escorted the carriage away.
The Huashan Sect disciples looked at Zhen Nanren with a mixture of joy and envy.
Gui Chengwen stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your help, young master."
"It's nothing, don't delay the time, let's go!"
"Please!"
The two immediately led the group up the mountain side by side.
The three Moon Foxes, hidden in the distance, smiled with satisfaction and immediately followed him down the mountain.
Zhen Nanren entered and saw Gui Dezhu smiling and nodding at him from the crowd. He understood that the other had received the good news, and he immediately smiled and nodded back.
Then he saw Zhu Tianmin looking at him from the crowd on his right, and he immediately smiled and nodded.
Zhu Tianmin immediately came forward and said, "A pleasure to meet you!"
"Good day! How is your son?"
"Fine, thank you!"
"Let's chat!"
"Please!"
The two stepped out of the gate, and Zhu Tianmin headed up the mountain.
Soon, seeing that no one was around, he immediately asked, "I killed Qin Feng!"
"No, I was resting in my room the whole time."
"I also thought it impossible, after all, you took your bribe!"
"What do you mean, Master?"
"Didn't you take his five million taels of silver notes to go easy on him and fight to a draw?"
Zhen Nanren smiled bitterly, "Indeed, but I've done it all for nothing!"
"Why?"
"The silver notes are lost!"
"Lost? My silver notes are lost too?"
"Yes! I didn't have time to look for them, and I couldn't tell anyone, it's disgusting!"
"Do you know who went to collect them?"
"I don't know, Master, do you have any clues?" "
The other party deposited a total of thirty-five million taels of silver in the official Yongchang Silver Exchange, and it was deposited in Zhen Nanren's name. Have you had contact with him?"
"Damn! It was him! How hateful!"
"What happened?"
"I kindly invited him for drinks, I thought he'd get drunk with me! How hateful!"
"You know him?"
"Having met him several times, I admire his determination to avenge his lover. Who knew he'd pull this stunt? I'll definitely give him a good beating!"
"Where does he usually hang out?" "Uncertain, he's always begging for medicine and seeking martial arts! Is he worried about the money?"
"No, I was just curious!" "I'm
so sorry! Master, you've lost money!" "
It's nothing. What are your plans for the future?"
"Master Gui and my late master were very close. I might stay at Mount Hua temporarily before returning to Zhaoxian Manor. If Master has any orders, I'm willing to serve."
"I've already found out that Zhao Kui accepted one million taels of silver from Qin Feng, leading to Xiao Quan's defeat and disfigurement. I originally wanted to hire you to get rid of him!"
Zhen Nanren thought, "Damn! How can I do that? De Di is marrying Zhao Kui's sister next year. If I do that, I'll be guilty for the rest of my life!"
"I'm sorry, Master, please choose someone else!"
"Never mind! Please keep this a secret."
"That's only right. We've always had a pleasant working relationship!"
"Have you tried your luck in the north? I'd be happy to assist you."
"If needed in the future, I will definitely come to your door to ask for your help."
"Welcome! Zhaoxian Manor is, after all, the Yue family's residence; let's not let outsiders criticize us.
" "Well said!"
"In short, I admire you!"
"Thanks!"
The two then smiled and returned to Mount Hua.
Soon after, Gui Yongtai came out with a smile to meet everyone, and the scene immediately became lively.
Zhen Nanren and Hou Zhaoxian sat with their fellow elders from various factions. His character and humility immediately won the favor of those at the table, and Hou Zhaoxian couldn't help but drink heartily.
Soon after, Gui Yongtai, along with Gui Dezhu and his wife, and their three children, Gui Chengwen, Gui Chengwu, and Gui Hanlian, went from table to table toasting, immediately creating a climax.
When they came to Zhen Nanren's table, Gui Hanlian immediately lowered her head shyly.
Zhen Nanren then congratulated everyone.
Gui Yongtai chuckled and said, "A large cup!"
A maid immediately poured a large cup of wine.
"Hehe! Zhen Qiang, I heard you have a good capacity for alcohol, is that right?"
“Not bad, junior will offer three cups of wine.”
“Hehe, good!”
A maid brought over three large cups of wine. Zhen Nanren immediately downed them with a “shali” (a sound of slurping).
Hou Zhaoxian brought over two cups of wine, then handed one to Gui Dezhu: “Congratulations!”
“Congratulations! Cheers!”
Gui Chengwen and his brother each raised a large cup of wine to Zhen Nanren: “To the young master.”
“Thank you! Cheers!”
He brought over two large cups of wine and immediately drank them down.
Gui Wulian blushed and also raised her cup: “To the young master.”
“To the young lady!”
The two immediately concealed their embarrassment by drinking the celebratory wine.
Hou Zhaoxian said: “Qiang’er, toast the headmaster and his wife.”
“Yes!” He
immediately downed three large cups of wine in one gulp.
Gui Dezhu and his wife promptly drank in return.
The wedding banquet was thus successfully completed!
Gui Yongtai chuckled and led the group out to continue toasting.
Zhen Nanren sweetly brought out the delicacies.
The birthday banquet lasted for an hour and a half before the guests and hosts dispersed in turn. Soon after, Hou Zhaoxian accompanied Zhen Nanren into a room.
There, they saw four generations of the Gui family seated around two tables, and they happily took their seats.
Gui Yongtai cheerfully said, "Double happiness! Let's all drink a toast!"
Everyone immediately raised their cups.
Gui Yongtai said, "Qiang'er defeated the head maid this morning, which will surely attract Cui Ji's entanglement. Our disciples must be vigilant and diligently practice swordsmanship."
"Furthermore! I judge that Cui Ji is a member of the Pu Gongying faction. The head maid's appearance today was a test; the Pu Gongying faction will surely take further action. Everyone should be careful."
"Yes!" "
Starting tomorrow, I will instruct Qiang'er to take charge of the sect. Do not disturb him unless absolutely necessary."
"Yes!"
"In-law Hou, your manor is always well-informed. Please keep an eye on their movements."
"Of course. How long will Qiang'er stay?"
"One and a half to two years."
"My daughter is pregnant. We'll share the joy with everyone then!"
"Hehe! Very good, congratulations!"
"Thank you!"
"I don't intend to let too many people know about Qiang'er and Lian'er's good news, lest outsiders interfere with Qiang'er. You should also not let the disciples of this sect know about this."
"Yes!"
"Qiang'er, do I have any objections?"
"No!" "
And you, in-law Hou?" "Nothing, let's keep in touch!"
"Good! Good!"
Suddenly, Gui Dezhu asked, "Qiang'er, what did Master Zhu talk to you about in private?"
"He was trying to verify whether Qin Feng died at my hands."
"I've always suspected he has another mission. Don't get too close to him." "
Yes!"
Gui Yongtai said, "Everyone has been busy for many days, let's rest early!"
Everyone immediately left happily.
Hou Zhaoxian led Zhen Nanren into the pavilion and immediately asked, "Did Zhu Tianmin ask Zhen Nanren?"
"Yes, he did. He checked with the authorities. It seems he asked the authorities to investigate this matter. I told him I knew nothing, and he didn't press further. He then encouraged me to go to Luoyang to develop my career."
"You agreed!"
"I was just being perfunctory. I'll leave it for another day!"
"Don't get too close to him. After Yi'er gives birth next year, should she bring the baby to see you?"
"No need, to avoid any accidents."
"Alright, I must be careful of Cui Ji causing trouble!"
"I'm sorry!"
"Don't say that. You're doing this on someone's behalf. Besides, you should try your luck. I'm setting off tomorrow. Focus on practicing your skills and don't come to see me off."
"Yes! Have a safe journey, Father!"
"By the way! I've been paying attention to Shao Yuan's strange behavior. He's the top disciple of the Huashan Sect. Is this why my father-in-law Gui repeatedly instructed me to keep it a secret?"
"Are they afraid that Shao Yuan will betray us because of heartbreak?"
"That's quite possible. The Huashan Sect is in need of manpower right now, so it's best not to have any trouble!"
"Makes sense!"
"I brought this up to remind you to be careful of this person."
"Yes!"
"The chaos in the martial world is starting to emerge. I will be keeping a close watch on things from now on. Be careful too."
"Yes!" "
My father-in-law Gui has already arranged for you to take 'Seven Star Orchid' to enhance your Yang energy. Seize this opportunity. The Huashan Sect and I will support you in becoming the number one person in the world."
"Thank you, Father!"
As soon as the two separated, he immediately went to the alchemy room.
Upon entering, he saw a main plate on the table with a pale purple flower in it. There were seven flowers, and they resembled the Big Dipper.
"Qiang'er, have you seen this before?"
"No!"
"It's called 'Seven Star Orchid.' More than two hundred years ago, our sect leader, He Gongyuan, discovered it in a deep valley behind Chaoyang Peak and transplanted it here."
"It can enhance Yang energy, and it has miraculous effects on those who cultivate Yang-powerful palm techniques. It can strengthen and increase your Yang energy. Take it today!"
"Thank you, Grandpa. Why not give it to my two elder brothers?"
"No, their aptitude is too poor, and they are already married and have lost their virginity. Chew the flowers and leaves together and swallow them. Then circulate your energy for a while, and it will surely have miraculous effects."
"Thank you, Grandpa. I swear to serve Mount Hua!"
"Eliminating dandelions is my great wish, and I rely on you!"
"Yes!"
"Take it!"
With that, he carried the tray to the bedside.
Zhen Nanren removed his boots and climbed onto the couch, immediately sitting cross-legged to await orders.
Gui Yongtai picked leaves and branches, then presented them to Zhen Nanren one by one.
Soon after taking the medicine, Zhen Nanren felt a burning sensation throughout his body.
He immediately focused all his energy on
circulating his internal energy. Half an hour later, steam was rising from every pore of his body, and the exquisite disguise drug of the Moon Fox was gradually being absorbed as beads of sweat.
Seeing this, Gui Yongtai's eyes immediately lit up .
He had already seen Zhen Nanren's true face, and he was both angry and shocked.
He immediately left the room and summoned Gui Dezhu.
Gui Dezhu entered and immediately recognized Zhen Nanren. He then accompanied his husband away.
"Father, his name is Zhen Nanren. Three years ago, in the spring, he came begging for skills but was refused."
"This matter is no small thing; we must handle it carefully."
"Yes!"
"Even Hou Jixian was deceived by him, which shows how cunning he is. Let's devise a plan!"
"Yes!"
The two immediately began to rack their brains!
The following evening, Zhen Nanren slowly exhaled and immediately opened his eyes. He saw Gui Yongtai sitting alone on the edge of the bed, looking at him. He immediately got out of bed and knelt down, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Grandpa."
"I don't know how to say it?"
As he spoke, he handed a round mirror to Zhen Nanren. The image in the mirror made Zhen Nanren's whole body tremble and his heart skip a beat.
He immediately bowed his head and said, "This junior has no ill intentions."
"Should I believe you?"
"How can this junior gain your trust?"
"Tell me the purpose of your disguise and what you did."
Zhen Nanren thought, "I absolutely cannot betray Yuehu and the others."
He immediately said, "Three years ago, in the spring, this junior came to your sect to beg for skills. Afterwards, this junior went to Mount Sumeru and by chance obtained the secret manuals and elixirs of the elders."
"After this junior mastered the palm technique, it happened to be during the martial arts contest at Zhaoxian Manor. This junior was momentarily confused and disguised himself to participate. However, this junior certainly had no ill intentions to harm anyone."
"Where did you obtain your Yin Pure Power?" " It was taught to me
by my late master." "
Xuan Sui Ke could not cultivate your Yin Pure Power. You used Yin energy, didn't you?" "No! This junior obtained the power from the Vajra Pearl bestowed upon me by my late master."
"The Vajra Pearl?"
"It was contained within the Vajra Pearl in the deep sea. My late master used the power of a thunderbolt to split the stone and retrieve the pearl before his death."
"Where is it now?"
"I have absorbed most of the essence and buried it in the ground." "What about the Six Harmonies Manual?"
"I have hidden it away."
"You are truly audacious!"
"Please forgive me, sir. I will leave immediately and vow to fight alongside Dandelion and Cui Ji to repay your great kindness. I implore you to grant my request."
"I have lived an upright life and hate deceit the most. My son, you may leave, but the matter between you and Lian Er is wiped clean, and you are not allowed to act on behalf of Mount Hua in the future."
"Yes! Thank you, sir."
He immediately kowtowed three times.
"Go!"
Zhen Nanren left in shame.
He stepped out of the gate and silently descended the mountain.
The three women of Yuehu, hidden in the distance, were startled when they saw him appear in his true form!
Yue Guli immediately transmitted a message: "Brother, meet behind the Guandi Temple in the south of the city. Be careful not to give away your secrets."
Zhen Nanren immediately lowered his head and sped away.
He swiftly traversed the forest outside the city and soon arrived at the Guandi Temple. Finding the temple gates locked, he stealthily went to the cypress grove behind the temple and silently observed.
Soon, Yue Gu approached alone and asked, "What happened?"
He immediately recounted taking the "Seven Star Orchid" and the incident of his body being exposed.
Yue Gu sighed and said, "Gui Yongtai is indeed a true disciple. Don't worry, I'll disguise you again. From now on, help the Huashan Sect more, and you can repay this kindness."
"Yes! By the way! Zhu Tianmin spoke with me privately yesterday!"
He immediately recounted the events. Moon Fox smiled and said, "This fellow is quite cunning; I'll tease him properly."
Immediately, a young man carrying a bundle approached. Moon Fox immediately said, "Change your clothes and put on a mask first! I'll prepare medicine to disguise you tomorrow."
As the young man drew near, Zhen Nanren immediately asked, "Little Sister, is that you?"
"Yes! Just now, someone followed you from the woods on the right side of the Huashan Sect. My junior sister and I captured him and forced him to confess that he was acting on Cui Ji's orders to monitor the Huashan Sect."
"That was close. Thank you!"
"You're welcome,"
Moon Fox said. "After you forced the head maid to retreat yesterday, the three of us went to monitor her. She secretly visited two groups of people at Tongguan. I deduced that she wanted them to monitor you, so the three of us have been keeping a close eye on her."
"You suddenly appeared in your true form just now. I notified you while keeping an eye on the surroundings, and we managed to catch those two in time, saving us a lot of trouble!"
"Thank you! I was almost terrified by Gui Yongtai!" "It was an accident. The powder and method I used were quite refined. If it weren't for the 'Seven Star Orchid's' intense heat dissolving it, you wouldn't have revealed yourself." "You won't reveal yourself again , will you?"
"Don't worry, just play with the child for a while, and you'll be fine!"
Tianwa lowered her head happily.
Zhen Nanren nodded and said, "Thank you!"
"Child, you go play at Lotus Peak. I'll wait for you at the usual place this afternoon."
"Yes!
" "Remember, don't be too carefree!"
With that, she immediately flew away.
Zhen Nanren immediately hugged Tianwa and said, "Little sister!"
He knew she liked this, so he kissed her.
She kissed him passionately.
Soon, the two of them flew away.
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the two had already entered a cave on Lotus Peak. She took out a thin thread from her bundle and tied it to the cave walls on both sides. She then hung three small copper bells on it before saying, "It works!"
"A small soldier can achieve great things. This trick is quite effective!"
"Yes! Come here!"
She happily embraced him and stepped into the winding cave passage.
Soon, she placed her bundle on the stone table, and while undressing, said, "This place used to be inhabited by Taoist priests, which is why the table and bed are so well-preserved!"
"That's wonderful! Would it be impolite for us to play here?"
"No, it's not! Perhaps hundreds of years have passed!"
"That makes sense!"
"Ren-ge, I heard Hou Pei-yi is pregnant?"
"Yes! I've always wondered why you two couldn't conceive?"
"When we had our first period, our master used his magic to remove our reproductive organs. This strengthened our physique, making it easier to practice martial arts, which is why we have what we have today."
"Isn't the price too high?" "Being with you is enough for me!"
"Wa-mei, you two make proper arrangements. I must openly accept you."
"Thank you! Because of our master, we have to go secretly."
"No! I can't bear to make things so difficult for you. You make the arrangements!"
"Okay, no rush, right?"
"This matter can be judged from two aspects. Whether Gui Yongtai will inform Hou Zhaoxian is the crux of the matter." "He won't leak the secret; he has principles." "Then it's simple! What will happen if you give a 'false confession'? What will happen if you make up another story?
Analyze it carefully."
"That makes sense. I think we should use a 'false confession.' Otherwise, I was originally going to stay at Mount Hua to practice martial arts, so why did I suddenly leave?
I can't find an explanation!" "Alright, but I need to make sure my 'false confession' is complete." "It shouldn't be a problem. The Six Harmonies Elder has already turned into a corpse. As long as I have the 'Diamond Bead' and the 'Six Harmonies Secret Manual,' I can definitely keep it from the Hou family." "Then let's do it that way! Come!" Zhen Nanren suppressed his lust and gritted his teeth, barely managing to gather his strength.
Soon, he finally successfully absorbed her power.
Not long after, she gently pressed his right back, and he understood and sat down to practice his power. She thought contentedly, "With him, I would be willing to die!" "
Soon he got up to take his medicine and began practicing his internal energy.
Zhen Nanren, however, was once again enveloped in the heat.
At dawn, the heat seeped into his pores, and his blood-red face gradually faded, becoming a stable white with a hint of red after an hour.
Tianwa was secretly pleased and left, returning an hour and a half later with braised food and drinks."
As soon as she finished setting out the food, Zhen Nanren exclaimed, "It smells delicious!"
"Brother Ren, congratulations!"
He stepped forward and hugged her, saying, "Thank you for your help. Are you alright?"
"It's just five years of cultivation. I can replenish it with spiritual medicine."
"Thank you!"
"Don't be so polite. Let's eat!"
"Brother Ren, I just saw our master. She's preparing medicine. She plans to disguise you at noon. Besides, she's arranged a carriage so we can set off smoothly!"
"You've helped me so much!"
"You are our focus and our hope!"
"Have you mentioned to our master how we can reunite in the future?"
"Yes! Our master will make proper arrangements. Don't be distracted."
"Okay!"
After the meal, the two buried the remaining food and cleaned the stone bed before descending the mountain together. Zhen Nanren had already put on a mask and changed his clothes and boots, so he immediately descended the mountain with peace of mind. Half an hour later, as soon as they entered the cave, Tian Xin greeted them with a smile.
"Xinmei!"
"Ren-ge, Master is waiting for you in the cave."
Zhen Furen entered with a smile and saw Yuehu sitting on the ground with a bowl of water beside her. She immediately said, "Come, wash your face and neck first."
Zhen Nanren immediately smiled, removed his mask, and sat cross-legged on the ground.
Yuehu wiped his face and neck clean and then covered his cheeks with a towel soaked in medicine.
After a while, she lifted the towel and carefully wiped off the disguise medicine.
After carefully applying makeup, she applied another towel with medicine and said, "Brother, circulate your energy! Once your energy is absorbed, the disguise medicine will be completely absorbed, and you will become a handsome man!"
Zhen Nanren immediately and carefully circulated his energy.
After a short while, Yuehu smiled and said, "Success!"
He breathed a sigh of relief and immediately embraced and kissed her.
"Be careful, don't ruin it."
"Haven't we already succeeded?"
She gently stroked his neck and said, "Success!"
As she spoke, she immediately kissed his lips.
After a long kiss, the two immediately handed over two boxes, saying, "The Vajra Beads and the Six Harmonies Manual are inside. Pack them in your bundle and then go tell Hou!"
"Sister, thank you!"
"If the Hou family can't tolerate you, just leave. Anyway, you've already amassed 35 million taels of silver, and I've also arranged for you to establish your own business."
"Yes! If the Hou family keeps me, what should I do?"
"Study the palm technique and be ready to serve Cui Ji at any time."
"Yes! How can I get close to Cui Ji?"
"Slaughter her subordinates to force her out. She will definitely tempt you with fame, fortune, and sex. Play with her properly, and she will submit to you."
"Won't I betray you?"
"Don't think like that. To achieve your goal, use any means necessary."
"Yes!"
"I estimate you'll have to go through some trouble to get close to Cui Ji, and you might even lose some people from Zhaoxian Manor. Handle it carefully!" "
Sister, I have an idea. I'll go and seek refuge with Zhu Tianmin."
"Princess! Brilliant idea! You plan to use Cui Ji to force the Zhu family to reveal their true colors?"
"Yes,"
"Brilliant! Arrange and execute it well!"
"Yes!"
"Brother, you're so clever! Go ahead and do it! I'll support you."
"Thank you!"
"Let's go! Don't waste time,"
"Please!"
Zhen Nanren put the two boxes into his bundle, and she immediately put a mask on him, saying, "I need you to take turns accompanying the three of us on the journey. Such opportunities are rare in the future!"
"Alright!"
The two met up with You Xin and the other, and then they flew away together.
At dusk, the four of them boarded three carriages in the city. As soon as Zhen Nanren and Yuehu entered, they saw that the carriages were covered with new, safe bedding, and there was a small table filled with delicacies.
"Sister, you're truly amazing!"
"A piece of cake! These kids are getting more and more knowledgeable! They've already set off for Zhaoxian Village in batches. Along the way, they'll arrange the carriage and our lodging and meals."
"What about this carriage?"
"Destroy it, to avoid revealing our plans."
"A grand gesture, no less impressive than men!"
"Let's eat!"
The two immediately sat down to eat.
After the meal, they moved the small table aside and undressed to lie down.
"Sister, I want to be openly with the three of you, okay?"
"The time isn't right yet. Let's eliminate the dandelion first!"
"Okay! When that time comes, I'll have Hou Peiyi address you as 'sister.'"
"I'm so happy! I'll dress younger."
"Sister, what are your plans for those hundred-odd subordinates?"
"I plan to settle them in a suitable place after the world is at peace, and find them husbands to compensate them properly."
"They're all infertile, aren't they?"
"Yes! What are you worried about?"
"I'm worried their men might mind not having offspring?"
"No! They'll definitely satisfy those men. They're richer to support men and can even adopt other people's children. Don't worry about that."
"That makes sense!"
"When you're with me, do you feel incestuous?"
"Honestly, I felt that way at first, but I'm used to it now!"
"Very good. Men bear heavy burdens; they must be open-minded. There's a reward!"
Saying this, she immediately gave him a kiss.
Their bodies were intertwined as the carriage swayed. After a long silence, she sighed and said, "So beautiful! Brother, I have a plan that might bring you great success, but you must remain calm and withstand setbacks."
"No problem!"
"From what I've observed, Dandelion and Cui Ji have people spread throughout various places and factions, even secretly developing organizations. You might as well unleash a massacre to force them to deal with you with all their might."
"No problem!"
"They will definitely try to subdue you or make you submit through force first. After they fail, they will use Zhaoxianzhuang or Huashan Sect to coerce you." "
At that time, Hou Peiyi and her child may be harmed, which will be your own pain. Therefore, you must be mentally prepared beforehand to avoid losing your composure and becoming a victim."
"Don't worry! I'm prepared."
"You don't love her?"
"Impossible, but for revenge, someone always has to sacrifice."
"Yes! Yes!"
He couldn't help but think, "She's really ruthless. I really need to be mentally prepared."
He immediately smiled and gently stroked his body.
"Brother, I can't hold back anymore!"
"Won't it attract the attention of passersby?" This… sigh! How annoying. "The woman in the carriage, disguised as a man, immediately began to cautiously observe.
Soon, she drove the carriage into the forest, allowing them to have their fill of fun."
Tian Xin immediately ordered the carriage to stop nearby.
Tian Wa whispered, "Master's addiction is really strong!"
"You're having a wild time too!"
"Yeah! How about you?"
"I had a great time yesterday! So charming!"
"Senior Sister. If anything happens to Master, we must cooperate sincerely!"
"No problem, I've always respected you."
"If we're with Hou Peiyi, we should cooperate even more."
"Of course!"
"Senior Sister, let's weather the storm together!"
"Of course! You. Keep the deposit slips and seal safe, we'll rely on them to live a carefree life!"
"No problem, if we encounter a strong enemy, you have to send me away first!"
"Of course!"
The two chatted as they sketched out their happy plans!
Soon, the two young men crept into the distant woods, observing the swaying carriage. They overheard the man on the right whisper, "Who's being so lewd? So blatant!"
"Be careful, those two drivers are no ordinary people!"
"Hmm! Should we report them?"
"Let's follow them a little longer."
"Alright!"
These two were Cui Ji's spies. They had stumbled upon this incident, and their pursuit led to many unforeseen events—but that's a story for another time.
The two horses neighed, their necks aching from the shaking!
Seeing this, the two drivers immediately steadied the carriage shafts and released the horses. The onlookers, hidden in the distance, became even more curious and attentive!
"So beautiful! So wonderful!"
The two immediately began to caress each other.
The two drivers quickly reined in the horses and positioned them.
Soon, the two carriages sped off again.
Yuehu groaned for a moment and then fell into a deep sleep.
Zhen Nanren, however, happily practiced his internal energy.
The two young men used their lightness skills to follow them through the woods.
