[The Orphan's Love Affair with a Beauty's Rivalry] (Volume 1, Chapter 007)

Chapter 007 Murong's Background

Wu Yue placed a black piece at position 5 in the upper right corner, and casually said, "Godmother, why do you rarely

mention Godfather to me, and rarely spend time with him, unlike Uncle Sai and Aunt Lixiang?"

The lady responded with a white piece, casually replying, "You always play so conservatively, only knowing how to defend the edges and corners. Do you think

you can win by simply enclosing territory and defending? You need to learn how to seize other people's territory… Hmm~ You mean Master? It's

simple , I don't love him. Lixiang and her husband are a loving couple, of course, that's a different story!"

Wu Yue asked curiously, "That's what I don't understand. If you don't love Godfather, why did you marry

him back then?"

The lady sighed, "It was a marriage arranged for the benefit of the tribe, not my wish. Since you've brought

this up, I must ask you, how have I treated you… don't you feel anything?"

Wu Yue scratched his head and said, "You're my godmother, of course you're very good to me, don't I feel anything?"

The lady looked at him tenderly. She said, "It's not just because you're my godmother that I'm good to you. If it were just

maternal love , how could I be like this... You are the one I think about day and night, the one I dream about in my sleep, that's why I'm like this!"

Wu Yue's eyes widened, and she asked, seemingly understanding but not quite, "Really?"

The lady said angrily, "Of course! Otherwise, why

would I be so angry that night when you were fooling around with that bitch Hua Ying? You are the only man who has truly moved me. Every time we are apart, I miss

you so much, and I always dream about you at night. This feeling is really wonderful! At first, I thought it was just innate

maternal love, but later I realized it was much more than that. I don't want to be your godmother anymore, nor do I want to be your teacher anymore.

I only want to be your woman, your wife who will bear your children. A godmother's maternal love for her children should obviously not

be like this."

After saying this, even with her unconventional personality, she was still a little shy, and her beautiful

face turned blush. In fact, the more outstanding and exceptionally talented a woman is, the more independent and stubborn she tends to be.

Such a woman doesn't fall in love easily, but once she meets a man she loves, she becomes like a silkworm spinning its own cocoon,

trapped in a which she cannot extricate herself. Even the hardest steel can turn into a soft, yielding tenderness, displaying a womanly demeanor.

This was the case with the lady, yet she still mustered her courage and, in a soft, delicate, and deeply affectionate tone

, poured out her heart to him. She needed this opportunity to express her love for him.

After listening, Wuyue thoughtfully said, "Oh, I understand. No wonder you never let men

into , yet you allowed me to sleep with you. I thought it was because my godmother doted on me."

The lady shook her head: "It's not enough for me to love you; you must also truly love me. Lovers must

be of one mind and deeply in love to achieve a union of soul and body. Only then

can truly satisfied. Otherwise, I could just find any man. Why bother enduring so much hardship just to wait for you?

So I care a lot about whether you truly love me too."

Wuyue said earnestly, "You're so good to me, of course I truly love you!" This guy,

though , had incredibly high emotional intelligence. He seemed to have an innate understanding of what to say and what not to say in different situations,

especially in front of women. Knowing that the lady no longer wanted to be his godmother or mentor, he immediately changed his tune.

The lady pulled him into her arms, embracing him tightly, and said in a trembling voice, "I'm so happy! Tonight is truly

the happiest moment of my life. I'm the happiest woman in the world! At dinner, you said you would marry me,

and although I was happy, I always thought it was just something a child would say casually, not something to be taken seriously. Now I believe you

truly love me!"

Wuyue said, "Of course I do! You've taken care of me since I was little. If I didn't love you, who else would I love

?"

The lady smiled radiantly, her mood exceptionally cheerful: "If you met another woman who treated you like I have, would you

be with her?" Wuyue replied without hesitation, "Whoever is good to me, I will naturally be good to her too." And that was indeed how he had always acted

throughout his life . 　　Seeing the change in his wife's expression, he quickly added, "Of course, it's only natural to be kind to her; it doesn't mean I like her." 　　His wife's expression softened slightly, and after a long pause, she said heavily, "Wuyue, although you've been with me for over ten years , you still don't know many of my secrets. These secrets have weighed heavily on my heart for over twenty years. Because they involve so much, I've never mentioned them to outsiders, especially Han Chinese, except for the clansmen who followed me south. But after much thought, I feel that lovers shouldn't hide anything from each other; it's time to tell you the truth." " 　　Wu Yue wasn't particularly curious about prying into other people's privacy, but not wanting to spoil her fun, she casually asked, "Is this secret very important?" 　　The lady replied in a heavy tone, "Yes, it concerns the rise and fall of the nation and the well-being of all people. Let me briefly tell you about my background. I'm not actually from the Central Plains, my hometown isn't in Shuntian Prefecture, and I'm not a daughter of the Wang family . I was born in Liaodong, between the Changbai Mountains and the Heilongjiang River." 　　Xiao Wu Yue looked blank and said, "Liaodong Jurchen, I think I've heard Sister Bing mention them, but I don't know the specifics ..." 　　The lady smiled and said, "You're still young. That place isn't in the Central Plains..." "It's very, very far from here, of course you wouldn't know. The ancestral homeland of our Jurchen tribes is even further north, where there are only forests and swamps . Our people have hunted for generations, and in winter the winds are biting cold, and the snow is piled up to a foot deep. A small body like yours would freeze to death in the wilderness in just an hour or two. That's why our ancestors led their people south to the area between the Changbai Mountains and the Heilongjiang River ." 　　Wuyue couldn't help but shiver; he was most afraid of the cold. He said, "You grew up there, weren't you afraid of the cold?" 　　The lady's face showed an expression of deep longing: "I'm not as afraid of the cold as you are. I'm very used to the climate of my hometown. Haven't you noticed how tall and strong I am? I'm quite different from the women of the Central Plains! The women there are all like me—strong, bold, and resilient. They can fight alongside men in battle, unlike the petty women of the Central Plains!" 　　Wu Yue, feigning a chivalrous air, cupped his hands and said, "No wonder you're so dashing and heroic, with a spirit no less than that of a real man !" 　　The lady chuckled, then retorted, "I'm telling you something so important, and you still have the mood?"

"A joke? If word gets out, this could get you killed, you know?"

Wu Yue stuck out his tongue and quickly said with a forced smile, "It's alright, I was just trying to lighten the mood since you're being so serious

! Please continue, I won't interrupt."

The lady smiled faintly and said seriously, "I was born into the family of a Jurchen tribal chief in Liaodong. My father, Sharwen

, was revered as the Jurchen King. My mother, Deerma, was my father's first wife, and she passed away when I was six.

My real name is Murong Ziyan; Wang Yingxiang is just an alias. I am the eldest daughter in my family, with more than a dozen younger brothers and

several younger sisters, but only two of my brothers share the same mother, the older one of whom was killed by my father."

Wu Yue held back for a long time, wanting to interrupt but unwilling to break his promise, his beautifully sculpted face turning red.

Madam ... Oh! She should now be called Murong Ziyan. She glanced at him and smiled, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?

I'll grant you this one break. Now that you know my real name, you can still call me 'Godmother' or

'Master' , but in private, I prefer you call me 'Wife' or 'Ziyan.'"

Wuyue nodded, then asked疑惑地问道, "Wife…" He really wanted to please his godmother, hence the deliberately affectionate

address , but this sudden change made him look around nervously. "If Master hears me addressing

you like this, he'll beat me to death!"

Murong Ziyan snorted coldly, "You don't need to be afraid of him. If he dares to lay a finger on you, I'll take his

life! Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that he's the father of my three children, I would have broken up with him long ago!"

Wuyue coughed lightly. A voice said, "I wanted to ask you, madam, is your father also surnamed Murong? Wow! That's

quite ."

Murong Ziyan couldn't help but chuckle. "My father's surname isn't Murong, and Murong isn't my original surname either. My grandmother

was a descendant of the Murong Xianbei people. She had a grandniece named Murong Ziyan, who was also my father's adopted daughter, a year younger than me.

I thought her name sounded nice, so we secretly swapped names for fun, and eventually we got used to it. My father

doted on me, and since I've studied martial arts with a renowned master since childhood, I'm highly skilled and extremely strategic. Even at a young age, I could accompany my father

in leading troops into battle, winning many victories. My father allowed me to occasionally act a little capricious; after all, we were both his daughters, so it

didn't matter how he called me. Later, he would occasionally call me Ziyan." The matter, through

a series of unexpected events became a reality. Due to political and military needs, the leaders of the various Jurchen tribes frequently intermarried. When I

was ten years old, Heli, the leader of the Dong'e tribe, one of the five major Jurchen tribes, came to propose marriage, hoping to take me as his second wife

. He stated that after the marriage, he would lead his tribe to submit to the Liaodong Jurchen tribe.

Wuyue asked, "So young to be married? In the Central Plains, most people don't marry until they're thirteen or fourteen."

Murong Ziyan replied, "Early marriage is common among the Jurchen tribes; ten is the normal age for marriage. My father couldn't bear to see me become

someone else's concubine, nor did he want to lose such a powerful tribe, so he went along with the mistake and betrothed his adopted daughter, who had exchanged names with me,

to Heli. I remember on the wedding day, I was almost stopped by Heli's fierce wife, Zaokang. Zaokang was also a woman..."

He's a heroine , not only beautiful but also a capable general. She's straightforward and fiery, and Heri both respects and fears her. In the end, it was only

through my father's persuasion that the marriage was completed. From then on, I became Murong Ziyan, and my clansmen call me

Princess Murong, a name I truly love. Heri is now

one of my father's five most capable generals. He knows he's marrying my father's adopted daughter, but he can't do anything about it!

Wuyue chuckled, "Among the princesses sent to marry foreign rulers during the Han Dynasty, some weren't real princesses. Some

emperors couldn't bear to send their own daughters to marry far away, so they used their adopted daughters or even palace maids to impersonate princesses

. The famous Wang Zhaojun's marriage to the Xiongnu was like that. I didn't expect your father to know this trick too, haha…

" She couldn't help but giggle continuously after saying this.

Murong Ziyan frowned and said, "You're making fun of me again... Are you laughing at me for being a woman and how I could

lead troops into battle and win every time? Are you mocking me for bragging? Let me tell you,

there are plenty of female heroes among the Jurchen tribes beyond the Great Wall who are no less capable than men! Besides me, who is the best in martial arts and battle achievements, my father has several other

female generals . Among them, the one born in the Year of the Rooster has the most illustrious battle record."

Despite the cold weather, Wuyue was laughing so hard that he was almost sweating. "I'm not laughing at that. Even if I haven't eaten pork,

haven't I seen pigs run? I've experienced my wife's prowess firsthand..."

Murong Ziyan scolded him, "Fine! You dare to compare me to an ugly fat pig? Let's see how I

deal with you! Tell me! What exactly are you laughing at me for?" After saying that, she grabbed his little penis with one hand and tickled his little penis with the other.

Wuyue was most afraid of this move of hers because Murong Ziyan knew exactly which part of him was most sensitive to tickling, so she would tickle that part.

He was extremely unwilling, yet unable to suppress his laughter, which made him tremble all over: "Good...good wife, please spare me...

hehehe ...I'm laughing, hehe...Why are all the place names and personal names of you so long? They're making my head

spin. And your father and that...that female general, their names are so funny, don't you think?"

Murong Ziyan said fiercely: "You really have a death wish, daring to make fun of your future father-in-law, watch me

use second move to deal with you!" After saying that, she made a move to strike hard.

Wuyue cried out in pain, quickly begging for mercy, "Alright, alright, I won't dare again! I still want to ask you, since you are a Jurchen

princess , why did you travel thousands of miles to marry into the Central Plains?"

Murong Ziyan's jade-like face couldn't help but show a sorrowful expression: "Born into royalty, they appear to have a prestigious status and

countless servants, yet most of them suffer tragic fates. Apart from my father's adopted daughter, none of my sisters

escaped the fate of political marriages, and none of our marriages were happy! Twenty-two years ago, the Jurchen tribes were constantly

at war My father and I each led our troops in battles to the south and north, conquering countless cities and territories, defeating a coalition of nine tribes and 30,000 men, becoming

the uncrowned kings of the Jurchen tribes. Beifeng and the other three maids, along with a captain of the elite guard, were..." "The daughters of the fallen leaders or nobles of the nine tribes

, they became orphans at a young age..."

Wuyue murmured, "So Beifeng and the others weren't from the Central Plains either."

Murong Ziyan said, "Of course, women from the Central Plains are too delicate to be as powerful as them! After

a series of bloody battles and marriage alliances, the Liaodong Jurchen tribe's prestige soared. To further expand their power, my father petitioned the court,

hoping to lead troops to assist in the campaign against Goguryeo. However, the court was wary of us and guarded against us at every turn. Not only did they refuse to

send troops , but they also disregarded the three-front war and deployed troops to monitor us. After a meeting of tribal leaders, it was generally agreed that

once these three major battles were over, the next target would definitely be the Liaodong Jurchen. Our strength is no less than that of the court..."

For ants and elephants, survival of their tribes requires foresight. At that time, I could see that although the Millennium Dynasty appeared

powerful, the emperor had lost the diligence and ambition of his youth. He had begun to retreat into the palace, indulging in rampant desires such as alcoholism, lust, greed,

and arrogance, using the guise of logging, firing, weaving, and procurement to extort money from the people. In the nineteenth year of the millennium, the emperor

appointed eunuchs as mining supervisors and tax commissioners, who then plundered the people, causing widespread resentment and frequent peasant uprisings. In particular,

the simultaneous launch of three major campaigns resulted in heavy losses, enormous expenditures of silver, and endless warfare, emptying the national treasury and further exacerbating the suffering of the people. The court was

only able to survive primarily due to the continuous flow of wealth from the prosperous coastal regions. At that time, the richest people

in the Central Plains were Zhou Long of Jinan and Li Tingbi of Jiangnan. Jinan was relatively close to the outside of the pass. At that time, there was also

the Wang Amang uprising near Shandong. So we set our sights on Zhou Long, hoping to cut off one of the court's

sources of revenue . On the other hand, we also wanted to use his wealth to continue to incite peasant uprisings near Shandong, further weaken

the court's strength, and make it unable to wage war against the Jurchens in Liaodong. Wu

Yue nodded and asked, "Is this why you married your godfather, my wife?"

Murong Ziyan sighed and shook her head, saying, "Initially, there was no intention to form a marriage alliance with the Zhou family. I volunteered

to join the household of Wang Zhihao, a wealthy man in Shuntian Prefecture, and became his eldest daughter, Wang Yingxiang. He had been a merchant in Liaodong in his early years

and was a close friend of my father. He was my godfather and treated me like his own daughter. My godfather

had many business dealings with Zhou Shilong, which was the main reason I joined his family. My plan was to recommend top-notch bodyguards to Zhou Shilong,

and have my trusted confidants, skilled in martial arts and meticulous in their minds, infiltrate the Zhou family to secretly inform me and

coordinate an attack from within , choosing the best location to rob the Zhou family of the tribute money they were paying to the imperial court, thus cutting off this important source of revenue for the court. At that time, the

plan had partially succeeded. I had two trusted confidants recommended by my godfather to enter the Zhou family, but they couldn't infiltrate the inner

circle in a short time and couldn't achieve much. Once, Zhou Shilong visited my godfather and heard him mention my..." My tutor, a renowned master

with exceptional martial arts skills, requested to meet this remarkable woman. Having already roamed the Central Plains martial arts world for some time, I

was no longer a naive young lady, so I didn't hesitate to meet him, only to discover he was just over thirty

. Zhou Shilong was astonished by my beauty. His wife, Wenjun, was recently widowed, and the next day he personally visited again

to propose marriage. This sudden turn of events disrupted my plans! I rushed back to Liaodong that very night

to discuss the matter with my father and the tribal alliance. The tribal leaders believed that a marriage alliance with the Zhou family was the most direct way to control them. Although

Zhou Shilong was a second wife, his first wife had recently passed away, and I would remain the principal wife after marrying into the Zhou family. In our tribe, the eldest daughter is considered like

a mother, signifying a heavy responsibility. For the Liaodong Jurchens to survive with the court at their side, my father and I

agreed the marriage. As my godfather's eldest daughter, marrying into the Zhou family was considered a suitable match.

The last sentence carries a hint of self-deprecation!

Wu Yue sighed, "I never imagined the events would be so convoluted and complicated!"

Murong Ziyan was somewhat agitated, "The Liaodong Jurchens and the Central Plains have been enemies for generations. My great-grandfather and grandfather were both killed by

government troops . The court repeatedly supported other Jurchen tribes that were hostile to us in order to weaken our

strength. I hate the Han people of the Central Plains to the core, and by extension, I feel even more contempt and disgust for my husband. It was he who ruined my

youth and happiness!"

Such a strong-willed and heroic iron lady only revealed her

most vulnerable side in front of him. Whenever she was alone with Wu Yue, she always felt particularly relaxed.

Wu Yue embraced her waist, comforting her, "Don't be sad, I'm here with you."

Murong Ziyan hugged him tightly, her rosy cheeks gently stroking his forehead, her words

revealing a thousand tender feelings and boundless love: "You are the lovely little angel sent by heaven to accompany me,

to compensate for my bumpy fate. You brought light to my soul, letting me know that besides the pursuit of fame and fortune,

scheming and killing, there is also true love and affection in this world. The first ten years after marrying into the Zhou family were

the lowest point of my life. Marrying someone I didn't love, being far from my hometown and family, I had no one to confide in about my bitterness! I

was born with a nature that refuses to be silent or accept fate, and I will never give up even in the face of adversity. " "I lost. Heaven bestowed upon me unparalleled

power, and by chance, I encountered a master who guided me, allowing me to wield this immense power with ease,

granting me supreme martial arts skills. I became ambitious, the long-accumulated power surging within

me , my body yearning for a violent volcanic eruption, letting the blazing flames shoot straight

to the sky, bursting forth with dazzling light! Let the abundant energy within me, the boundless humiliation and desolation in my heart,

be released fiercely and thoroughly!"

Her tone was like a musical movement, gradually rising from a low point to a sudden climax, then soaring into

the clouds , sharp and piercing, making Wuyue's eardrums ring loudly, feeling as if her eardrums were about to burst. Her

beautiful almond-shaped eyes flashed with a chilling light!

In an instant, she exuded an awe-inspiring aura, as if she were soaring through the heavens and looking down upon the world. This incomparably

powerful aura was like a tangible force, perfectly natural, as if she were originally a supreme queen, born

to be worshipped!

Wu Yue, who was standing beside her, could no longer describe his feelings as worship. His handsome face was

pale , his eyes showed fear, and a chilling coldness rose in his heart, spreading throughout his body, causing him to tremble slightly

.

Noticing his unusual behavior, Murong Ziyan realized her own lapse in composure and quickly tightened her grip on him. She

softened her high-pitched voice, like the gentle melody that usually

fades quickly after a tumultuous climax in a magnificent musical piece, her eyes revealing a hint of desolation: "I secretly controlled

the Zhou family by force. The government troops escorting the Zhou family's assets to the court were often intercepted by my men. The three major battles

lasted for over a decade, and the court was temporarily powerless to deal with the Liaodong Jurchens. So I began to travel across the land." Dressed entirely in black with a black

veil , she roamed the martial world, challenging renowned masters

and leaders of various sects and factions. Over several years, she fought nearly a hundred battles, large and small, emerging victorious in every single one. "

My wife is truly amazing!" Wu Yue exclaimed admiringly. "And then what happened?"

Murong Ziyan seemed lost in thought, gazing intently for a moment before slowly replying, "The Jurchen tribe has always

operated on a law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak. They conquered the territories of other tribes, plundering their food, wealth, slaves, and women."

"It's our survival rule, an instinct. If you can't conquer others, you can only be conquered or destroyed. I

thought to myself, what use is a mere empty title if you're already strong? Why can't you be revered? I want to be the master of the martial world, build

a vast Jianghu (martial arts world) force, and echo my father's power. If the imperial court sends troops to attack my father, I will use the scattered Jianghu

gangs to create chaos and incite peasant uprisings. This will inevitably drain the imperial court's national strength and military resources, greatly reducing

the possibility of the Liaodong Jurchens being wiped out. I began to defeat them one by one, using my martial arts and strategies, employing

both military conquest and winning hearts and minds to gradually annex these Jianghu gangs."

Then she began by recounting her conquest of the Kunlun Sect to Wuyue.

Wu Yue was still young and didn't have a strong sense of right and wrong, so he couldn't really talk about loyalty to the country. He just felt that his wife

was telling a story, a very exciting one. He couldn't help but ask, "Kunlun is thousands of miles away in the west. Why did you go to such lengths,

my lady ?"

Murong Ziyan smiled and said, "Precisely because the Kunlun Sect is far from the Central Plains, and its members rarely

travel , it's easy for me to keep the news from spreading when I make my move, making it easier to secretly target other sects later!"

After a while, Wu Yue interjected again, asking, "What kind of giant eagle is so powerful that it can carry people into the sky? I've

never seen one before."

Murong Ziyan said smugly, "You really have a lot of questions! Those giant eagles are secretly kept in my hunting grounds.

Tomorrow you..." " When you go hunting with Beifeng, you can have her take you to see it. But you're not allowed to try riding it.

It's dangerous without me by your side; if you fall from the sky, you'll lose your life!"

He nodded: "Okay, you can take me riding from now on, please continue!"

Hearing Uncle Sai issue a martial arts invitation, someone he respected most, he asked with some doubt: "

Since you wanted to secretly control the Kunlun Sect, you naturally wanted to keep it as secret as possible. Why did you instruct Uncle Sai to issue a

martial arts invitation and hold an inauguration ceremony? Isn't that too ostentatious?"

Murong Ziyan looked at him with admiration and smiled faintly: "Wuyue, you are indeed a smart person;

you can see the key to everything. What you said... " "Indeed, if we're only talking about controlling the Kunlun Sect, my high-profile actions

are inappropriate. But you must understand, my target is the Nine Great Sects."

A thought flashed through Xiao Wuyue's mind: "You intend to bribe them secretly? But these people are all high-ranking, powerful, wealthy

, and influential. If you don't intend to subdue them solely with martial arts, what treasure could possibly move them?"

Murong Ziyan's eyes revealed surprise and admiration. She cupped his face in her slender hands and kissed him: "

Heavens ! My darling is still a child! You're even smarter than an adult! Think again, besides

what you mentioned, what do men usually like most? And what do women usually like most?"

Wuyue thought for a moment: "Men are lustful, and women… usually love..." " Money, but I've already mentioned money, and

I can't think of anything else. Speaking of men being lustful, the leaders of these sects are either old monks or old Taoist priests, so women

shouldn't have any effect on them, right?"

Murong Ziyan laughed, "It's not that they don't work, it's just that they're difficult to get close to them. My beauties..."

There was a soft knock on the door. "Madam, Elsa, the captain of the Second Column, requests an audience."

Murong Ziyan laughed, "Speak of the devil! I was just telling you about my beauties, and here

comes this ice-and-snow beauty. Many banner leaders and deputy banner leaders from the Lower Four Banners have been asking me for her!" She called out, "Come in."

The people of the Rakshasa Sect called Elsa the ice-and-snow beauty, not only because of her beauty, but also because her skin was as white as snow.

By rank, she wasn't qualified to enter the Madam's inner chambers to request an audience. Firstly, she was Beifeng's most capable subordinate; secondly

, she was resourceful and highly regarded by the Madam; and thirdly, she and Beifeng were like sisters, and when Beifeng was too busy, she often looked after

Wuyue, inevitably making frequent visits to the Madam's inner chambers.

Elsa entered and respectfully reported, "Madam, the hunting gear is ready, and we can depart early tomorrow morning.

Is there anything else you require?" She casually placed a hand warmer into Wuyue's cold hands, indicating that this

was her main purpose for requesting an audience.

Murong Ziyan knew that Elsa was more astute than Beifeng, so she meticulously explained all the precautions, not only being verbose

but also nagging, even specifying trivial matters such as where Wuyue could relieve herself along the way.

Looking at the chessboard, tonight's handicap is also eight stones. Murong Ziyan particularly enjoys aggressive play; whenever Wuyue's

opening has the slightest flaw and he gains the initiative, she will definitely invade and engage in a fierce battle. And she's a master of this,

often capturing his large groups of stones.

Wuyue is focused on preserving his positions on both sides and in the corners, but after she invaded with a white stone at position 84 on the right,

it quickly spread. Not only could he not capture this group of white stones, but it also took root on the right side and

broke through, cutting off the black group in the upper right corner. The black group that could have connected with the lower group now faces a difficult

situation where it needs to make a living group , and it looks like he's about to lose again!

He desperately wanted to ask Beifeng for advice, but his godmother, who was usually concise and to the point with her subordinates, was now rambling on and on.

Anxious, he held back for a long time before finally interrupting, "Sister Ai, why hasn't Sister Beifeng come in?"

Elsa, already dizzy and worried about missing something, exclaimed "Ah!" upon hearing this, glanced at

the madam, and hesitated, "Eldest sister is in the outer room..." In the madam's inner chamber, people generally didn't address each other by their titles.

Murong Ziyan sighed, "You want to ask Beifeng for advice again? Call her in." The last sentence was directed at

Elsa ; the two were together every day at the hunting grounds, what was there to be wary of?

Beifeng came in to look at the chessboard, stared intently for a long time, and then pointed at the board. When Xiao Wuyue needed her

, she only thought of helping him with all her might, whether on the chessboard or in life, often neglecting the madam's

feelings.

Her move was indeed brilliant. The black stones in the upper right corner didn't try to live; instead, the white stones, attacked from both above and below

, were forced to live! Bei Feng's style of play was the same as Murong Ziyan's—she believed that offense was the best defense!

Moreover, in terms of skill, she seemed to be surpassing the Madam.

After Bei Feng left, looking at the chessboard, it was Murong Ziyan's turn to frown. "I've raised these girls one by one

, and all they do is help you fight me! Yun'er is the same way, they're truly heartless!"

Wu Yue shoved the hand warmer into her godmother's hands, letting her warm them, then leisurely rested her chin on her hand, waiting for her godmother to make a move, and

casually asked, "Speaking of the Charming Maiden Pavilion, are there still these people in the Rakshasa Gate? I've never seen them before."

Murong Ziyan was irritated, worried about losing, and had cursed Bei Feng countless times in her heart, even towards Wu Yue.

Yue, unwilling to submit, absentmindedly said, "The headquarters of the Charming Maiden Pavilion and the Blue Flag Guard of the Elite Guard is located in the Yinxiao

Manor in the south of the city, so you naturally haven't seen it..."

After thinking for a long time, she finally put down the white piece before continuing to talk about how she set a trap for Daoist Yinzheng.

Wu Yue sighed, "Such traps are hard to guard against, and they always stem from greed. I

feel sorry for Daoist Yin Zheng; isn't it a bit inappropriate to scheme against such a respected elder?"

Murong Ziyan's bright eyes flashed with a sharp light, "Haven't I always taught you that to achieve your goals and defeat your enemies, you must

use any means necessary, stepping over their corpses to reach the pinnacle—that's what makes a great hero! Having a woman's soft heart, feeling

sorry for this person and that person, might mean that one day the one who stabs you in the back is someone you once pitied!

Think about it, when a great figure does such a thing, and Sai Xiting 'accidentally' 'stumbles upon' it,

what ?"

Wu Yue replied without hesitation, "These people cherish their reputation and are most afraid of

being ."

Murong Ziyan smiled, "Think again, since they're afraid of their shameful deeds being discovered, what will they do?"

Wu Yue said, "Either kill them to silence them, or be blackmailed by you." "They can't kill you, so they'll have to blackmail you

. I hope you won't leak their philandering schemes."

Murong Ziyan said smugly, "You really are a genius at scheming! Follow me and learn well, and in time

even I might have to admit defeat, hehe! Next, the Hengshan Sect Leader, Fairy Yanxia, will become my second prey

..."

Wuyue asked curiously, "Wait! Isn't Fairy Yanxia a woman? Could she be bewitched by women?"

Murong Ziyan smiled gently, "Women naturally aren't bewitched by women. Back then, she was on the beauty list..."

Wuyue, always talkative and fond of interrupting, laughed, "You mean the fifteenth beauty list from twenty-two years ago

? I know a little about it. This list is published every twenty years. The fourteenth and fifteenth issues

are published , a famous chivalrous thief and the most authoritative beauty pageant judge. The two beauty lists he publishes have a

very wide selection range, and even beauties who rarely show their faces in public won't be missed by him. It's generally considered the most authoritative." " The beauty ranking list.

You are number one in the fifteenth beauty ranking list! And you are even more amazing than Fairy Yanxia, not only have

you been selected , but you were also thirty-nine years old when you were selected this time!"

Murong Ziyan's eyes were filled with joy. She gently tucked her disheveled hair behind her ear and sighed, "After all,

time waits for no one! I have dropped to fifth place in the sixteenth ranking list. All four of my girls are in the top ten. Beifeng

is first, Rainbow, Zhaiyue and Feishuang are third, sixth and ninth respectively. What surprised me the most was Feishuang. Her hands are stained with blood,

she always has a cold face, as if the whole world owes her money, but she was actually selected. How about it?" Rakshasa Sect

"Beauties are everywhere, hurry up and join, I guarantee you will enjoy endless beauty, hehe!"

Wuyue shook her head and said, "I have my wife, that's enough. Besides," Rakshasa Sect "The recruitment threshold for the Elite Guard is so high.

Every time a few vacancies appear, on average, there are about 10,000 applicants for each spot. Without the first-class skills

of "Don't even think about it!"

Murong Ziyan smiled and said, "You little Zhuge Liang, you're so knowledgeable. Have you heard that Jianghu Kongkong'er released

the second 'Handsome Men Ranking' at the beginning of the year? You're number one, you little devil who kills women!"

Wuyue scratched his head, somewhat confused, and said, "Really? How come I didn't know? You just like to tease me."

Murong Ziyan laughed and said, "Believe it or not! The threshold for entering the Jingwei Team is indeed extremely high, but occasionally they will

make exceptions to recruit all kinds of top talents. A handsome young man like you who is outstanding has a good chance! Beifeng

is the chief examiner. If you go and try to get in touch with her, she will most likely open a back door for you, hehe! Don't say you're

not interested in the Jingwei Team. When my people go out, as long as they show the special waist badge of the Jingwei Team, they will be surrounded by followers wherever they go."

After a bit of joking, Wuyue reminded her, "You haven't told the story of Fairy Yanxia yet?" He found that

as soon as his godmother started telling stories, she was more likely to make mistakes in chess, which greatly increased his chances of winning.

Murong Ziyan was once again lost in memories. The events that had happened to Fairy Yanxia back then were still vivid in her

mind. Not only did Yanxia later become her best friend, but it was also because Yanxia's actions

had profoundly changed her feelings for Wuyue.

************

Earlier this year, at the Shuiyue Palace on Xianxia Ridge in Hengshan, Wuyue was playing in the back garden with her siblings Xiaohong and Xiaojin, while Fairy

Yanxia and Murong Ziyan chatted idly in the inner room.

The Fairy of Misty Clouds sighed, "Yunfan and I have separated. He lives in Tingfeng Pavilion on Jianxing Peak, while I live

here with Xiaohong and Xiaojin. Alas, love is such an elusive thing. Just when I feel I have happiness firmly in my grasp,

it always vanishes in an instant. Everyone says Yunfan and I are a perfect match,

but and unblessed often endures! Just like my ex-husband Meng Tiancai. He was plain-looking,

of average intelligence, and so much older than me. Everyone said I was a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung, but our relationship lasted even

longer."

Upon hearing this, Murong Ziyan couldn't help but picture a graceful and dashing figure in her mind…
