Chapter Six:

"Miss, we've arrived." Nangong Bingxue's maid, Nangong Qi, said, her voice as cold as her mistress's.

Nangong Bingxue and Tong Yunyue got out of the carriage together. "Bingxue, you've arrived." He Xiangwan greeted them with a smile and led them into the house.

After entering the house, Nangong Bingxue found a strange scene. Ji Qingran and Murong Tingyu were chatting with a group of women she didn't recognize.

They were laughing and talking and seemed to be getting along very well.

Not long after they entered the house, He Xiangwan's maid, Xiaoyun, rushed in and cried out urgently, "Miss... oh no...

oh no, the... sir... he's back, and he brought... brought a..."

"Xiaoyun, what are you saying! Can't you just say it all at once? You scared us to death. What did my husband bring that made you all so panicked?"

Chang Nonghuan's heart had been in her throat ever since Xiaoyun entered and she spoke.

"Miss, the young master brought back a..." Before Xiaoyun could finish speaking, I interrupted, "...a stunning beauty."

I carried the sleeping Shangguan Xin into the Zixuan Pavilion.

"Husband, you're back! Ah! So beautiful..." Shu'er was the first to run to my side, but when she saw Shangguan Xin on my body, she exclaimed in

surprise.

All the beauties placed their heads in my arms. "That's right, Xin'er is indeed a rare beauty. I'll listen to you all and not

touch any other woman, even if I really like her." I boasted, which earned me eye rolls from the women.

"Alright, Shu'er, your husband has to go to the capital. You take good care of Xin'er for me. She has a fever that has damaged her brain. I need to look up some medical books to see

if I can cure her." I said to her with a smile.

"Husband, you don't need to go to the capital. When I packed your clothes, I asked Defu to bring all the medical books you like. You

can go to the study to look them up!" Shu'er said obediently.

"You're such a treasure. Husband, you've cured Xin'er, let her thank you in person. She's so smart, she learns everything so quickly. You teach He

Mingfeng to play the zither! I'm not good at teaching women things." I said as I placed Shangguan Xin on the long bench.

"Husband, will it take you a long time? Let Nonghuan help you! Maybe it will be faster." He Xiangwan noticed something was wrong.

In the past I would definitely look at people that Nangong Bingxue and the others didn't recognize, but I didn't today.

"Alright, Nonghuan, let's study it together! Husband has discovered that Xin'er's illness is not just a simple fever." I gestured for Chang Nonghuan

to .

Chang Nonghuan came to my side and we went out together. "By the way, if you have any questions, ask that man who looks like a woman.

He will explain in great detail." I said as we left.

All the women turned their gazes to Yu Xuanzi, who was explaining something to Xiaomei. "Don't look at me like that. I'll tell you,

but don't be anxious after you hear it. Our eldest daughter has messed with someone she shouldn't have. To be precise, she harassed a respectable woman,"

Yu Xuanzi said helplessly.

Speaking of which, when I arrived at Weixia Manor in Jianchang Prefecture, I found the scenery incredibly beautiful. It was a place of "small bridges, flowing water, and houses."

The houses were built along the river, with "boats moored in front of every house," forming a winding waterway. The boat-turning bay, the water gate, and the wharf were all scenic spots

, deeply imbued with the spirit of the water town.

Every evening at sunset, fishing boats sang their evening songs along the river, and shepherds returned home singing; the setting sun cast its last rays on the streets, and wisps of smoke rose from the chimneys. Looking along the street, the walls were arranged in a staggered pattern,

with two typical Jiangnan-style courtyard houses built side by side. With white walls and black tiles, the courtyards were deep and secluded, reminiscent of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The two ancient brick-carved gate towers were richly decorated.

The main gate bears the inscription "Jade Tree Spreads Fragrance."

Above the side gate are the phrases "Continuous Succession" and "Rising Star," subtly implying success in both the imperial examinations and rising fame.

Another ancient building's gate is inscribed with "Blessed with Health and Prosperity, Phoenix and Wutong Trees in Harmony," hinting at boundless business opportunities. These two buildings together symbolize "Promotion and Wealth,"

revealing a strong feudal legacy. Currently, the ancient residence houses the Du Rongyao Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition Hall and the Xu Family Calligraphy and Painting Collection Hall, where visitors can leisurely browse

and appreciate their works.

Opposite the ancient houses in the alley are Shengxian's "Steamed Bun Shop," Wuzhen's "Lizhi Academy," "Songji Clothing Shop," Lanxi's "Zoumalou," and

Jinhua's "Lao Ni Crispy Cake Shop." Jinhua crispy cakes are simple to make, made with high-quality ingredients, and are crispy and delicious, making them a top choice for tourists from all over.

Lizhi Academy was built during the Qianlong era of the Qing Dynasty. Its founding motto was "First establish your ambition, and those with aspirations will succeed." The Jiangnan region has produced many notable figures,

and this academy offers a glimpse into its ancient charm.

Leaving Lijia Lane, to the east lies a large stone arch bridge spanning both banks, named "Yingxiang Bridge." The couplets on the bridge piers, "Moonlight shines to welcome a hundred blessings,

the scenery gathers a thousand auspicious omens," and "A ray of clear light connects the Yue River, a half-sail's cold shadow carries the Wu clouds," highlight the bridge's location.

Standing on the bridge and looking north, one sees the riverside lanes lined with houses of varying tiled roofs; looking south, one sees the expansive water area for traditional water and land operas.

The opera stage in the square facing the bridge draws inspiration from the Xiuzhen Temple in Wuzhen and the Dashun Temple in Shengzhou. The entire stage design is unique, with

a double cross shape beneath; the streets and waterways are all accessible, creating a picturesque and ingeniously conceived scene.

The stage is adorned with red and green decorations, with backstage and dressing rooms on either side, and an orchestra pit on the side stage. As soon as the gongs and drums sounded on stage, the play began

.

At this time, spectators flocked in from all directions, sedan chairs filled the streets, and the crowds were immense. On days without performances, the square was

filled with itinerant performers, peddlers, vendors carrying sweet soup, fortune tellers, and people from all walks of life. There were lion dances, monkey shows, stilt walkers, fire-eating

with forks, folk songs, and various magic tricks—a dazzling array of performances. At the "Yu Hu Chun" teahouse in front of the temple, soft Wu dialect and laughter filled the air. Add to this

the "Qing Yin She" teahouse, where the Suzhou storytelling queen, Xiao Tao Hong, performed, her voice veiled, creating a vibrant tapestry of a bustling world

.

"Boss, this place rivals Suzhou! It's so prosperous!" Yu Xuanzi exclaimed.

"K, you're right, it's indeed very prosperous. Let's find an inn to stay in first. You haven't forgotten that Weixia Manor is

the richest man here, have you? They've got a stake in almost every restaurant, fabric shop, and inn. Let's observe for a few days before making a decision," I advised

him.

"Boss, aren't you a big fan of gambling? Look, there's one up ahead," Yu Xuanzi teased me.

"Nyyd, would you kill me if you didn't say that? I'm carrying a lovely lady in my arms, and we've been traveling for days. I need to rest;

I don't have time to gamble." I walked towards the Jixiang Inn.

Yu Xuanzi also shut up and didn't say anything. We asked for two quiet guest rooms in the backyard of the inn; the environment was very elegant.

"It's so beautiful, Xin Xin likes it here." Shangguan Xin's first words upon waking up were this, which stirred my desire to travel.

"Xin'er, let's rest for a day, and tomorrow your husband will take you out to play, okay?" I suggested.

The beauty nodded happily upon hearing this. Yu Xuanzi wanted to object, but under my fierce glare, he withdrew his voice. I gave him a "

you know what's good for you" look, and then went to the room to rest with Shangguan Xin.

The next day, Shangguan Xin and I arrived at Weixia Manor. Weixia Manor was mostly built with brick and wood, surrounded by high walls.

The houses inside the walls were generally two-story buildings with three or five bays. Larger residences had two, three, or more courtyards; there were ponds in the courtyards, and

flowers and potted plants were planted in front of and behind the houses. The beams, pillars, and railings were carved with exquisite patterns. Rows of small buildings, deep courtyards.

I was thoroughly admiring the beautiful structure. "Boss, what do you suggest we do?" Yu Xuanzi

interrupted .

"Damn, you'll die if you don't talk! Such a good atmosphere, and you're talking about this? Fine, I'll make you a scout. You keep

a close watch on that Wang Jun for a few days, report to me daily, and then I'll decide." With that, Shangguan Xin and I left.

"Boss, don't be so cruel! Why do I have to monitor that person? Wouldn't it be better to just have the authorities question Wang Jun directly?" Yu

Xuanzi pleaded.

"Yeah, I don't want to alert him, so you have to monitor him for a few days. I'll reward you, don't worry." I gave him a wicked

smile , a calculating glint in my eyes.

Yu Xuanzi didn't say anything in agreement, obediently accepting the task.

Shangguan Xin and I walked along the crowded street. The beauty was curious about everything, and I let her choose what she liked. When we reached the entrance of

the gambling , my heart skipped a beat.

Seeing my expression, Shangguan Xin smiled and said, "Husband, come in and play. Xin Xin will keep you company."

I couldn't help but sigh at the deep connection between us. I wondered if she would like me just as much once she recovered. This was

the question I was pondering.

Urged on by Shangguan Xin, I happily entered the gambling den. When we entered, everyone stared

at as if two monsters had entered.

"What are you looking at? Does everyone have to be a certain type of person to come here?" My words made everyone look away and continue gambling.

They were all very busy placing bets.

"Place your bets!" the dealer shouted. I went to a 'Big/Small' table where they were playing dice. "Okay, I'll bet

on this ," I said, sitting down with Shangguan Xin in my arms.

All the gamblers kept glancing at the beauty in my arms, but Shangguan Xin didn't seem to care. She hugged my neck and kissed me

several times. I heard many people gasp.

The dealer started rolling the dice. He was very skillful, rolling three times up and three times down, slowly but systematically, which could produce a big win.

Without hesitation, I took out my silver note and placed it on "big." The dealer looked at me with surprise, but I ignored him and continued playing with Shangguan Xin.

Urged by the gamblers, the dealer opened the dice. Four, five, six, big! The dealer said helplessly, he just didn't believe

there were any experts in this small town. This time he sped up the game, but I ignored him and placed my bet on "small." In the end, I won again.

People gathered around, and more and more people came. I was still winning. Several dealers came and went, even the boss joined in, but Wang Jun's men

never . The gambling den was also owned by Weixia Manor, how could he not come after such a big incident?

The boss dared not gamble anymore. He decided to consult the backer, the owner of Weixia Manor. But strangely, he didn't go directly to

Wang Jun, but to the protector.

Upon hearing the report from the gambling den, a woman whose coldness rivaled that of Nangong Bingxue gestured to her protector, Gao Yuan,

who then left with the gambling den owner.

Chapter Seven

That woman was none other than Ye Wuxia, the leader of the Heavenly Silkworm Sect, a woman greatly feared by both the legitimate and illegitimate worlds of martial arts. Everyone knew her only as the

adopted daughter of the sect leader, possessing an exceptionally high aptitude for martial arts. Even the former sect leader had gone to great lengths to collect martial arts manuals for her

to practice . This was what cemented her status as the fearsome female assassin of the martial arts world.

No one had ever seen her face; those who had were dead. Like the young mistress of the Goddess Palace, she veiled her face. From the moment she heard

the report , she found it strange that a gambling master had appeared in the martial arts world.

When Gao Yuan, the protector of the Silkworm Sect, entered the gambling den, he was greatly surprised to see me and the beautiful woman in my arms.

He found it strange that someone would bring a woman along to gamble; who was this person?

"Young master, I am the manager of Weixia Manor. This gambling den is owned by Weixia Manor. Your gambling skills are exceptional. If

you don't mind, I'd like to be your friend and treat you to a meal," Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"Alright! I've gambled enough today. I only want my initial stake; I'll return the rest in full. Weixia Manor is a prestigious

place; I'll give your lord face. That's all for today," I

said with a satisfied, wicked smile. Gao Yuan was still very friendly, smiling and gesturing for me to move to Zuixiang Residence. "Then please, young master, move to Zuixiang Residence. There are excellent

dishes ."

I picked up Shangguan Xin, put away the silver notes the gambling den owner gave me, and left the gambling den with Gao Yuan.

While we were eating, Gao Yuan inquired, "Judging from your voice, you're from the capital. May I ask what your ancestors did?"

"Oh! My ancestors were officials," I answered honestly, but they were the emperors who governed the people of the land. I didn't finish my sentence

, leaving him to guess.

"Then, sir, what is your name? I am Gao Yuan, the manager of Weixia Manor. Please tell me." I smiled at him, seeing he'd gotten to

the point. His true intentions weren't what they seemed; I'd try to fool him.

"My name is Tianxing, and my grandfather, Ji Yun, was a Grand Secretary of the Inner Cabinet." Old Ji was indeed my grandfather; his granddaughter was my woman

.

Gao Yuan had heard of Ji Yun's reputation and happily noted my reply to report back to his master. Seeing his thoughtful expression, I smiled wickedly.

I hadn't expected this man to be so easily fooled.

Seeing Shangguan Xin constantly eating shrimp skewers, I couldn't help but order her another plate. Gao Yuan, however, couldn't sit still any longer. He smiled and stood up, saying…

"Brother Tianxing, there's something at the manor that I need to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

I knew he had to report something, so I smiled and watched him leave, then finished the meal with Shangguan Xin.

"Husband, Xin Xin wants some tea," Shangguan Xin said after finishing her meal. "Alright, husband will accompany you to the teahouse ahead." I picked her up and

headed towards the teahouse.

Along the way, Shangguan Xin and I chatted and laughed, making passersby envious.

We didn't return to the inn until dusk. Before we even entered, we heard Yu Xuanzi shouting, "Boss, you've kept me waiting! You're still in the mood to play with your beauty at this hour,

while I have to wait in that place. My life is so miserable!"

"Damn it, having you, this super third wheel, around is not something I'm doing stupidly. Shouldn't you give me a report on today's events?"

I said, handing Shangguan Xin a teacup.

"Nothing's wrong. That person acts like a lowly servant, doing everything but neglecting all

the properties of Weixia Manor," he said, raising his suspicions.

I took a sip of tea and said wickedly, "If I'm not mistaken, that person is probably like Granny Wang, a traitor

planted Weixia Manor. It seems Weixia Manor must be a prominent figure in the martial arts world, and quite famous at that. Otherwise,

why would the mastermind go to such lengths? This is going to be interesting. You'll have to work hard for a few more days, and I'll go to Weixia Manor again in a few days."

At the inn, the three of us ate. After the innkeeper brought up the dishes Yu Xuanzi had ordered, I ordered two more: Dragon Body Phoenix Tail Shrimp and Tai Chi Prawns.

Upon seeing these two dishes, Shangguan Xin happily kissed me several times on the cheek, making Yu Xuanzi, who was standing nearby, extremely jealous.

"Boss, please consider the feelings of a lonely man like me," he protested.

"Damn it, alright, I've considered your feelings, so hurry up and eat. I have something to tell you after you finish, so eat quickly."

I said, peeling shrimp for Shangguan Xin.

Yu Xuanzi knew it was bad news, and he quickly ate while I changed my mind.

After he finished eating, he looked at me, waiting for me to announce something about him. "It's like this, today Xin'er and I heard

some things about Kong Tian of Dezhuang in the capital and you at the teahouse, so I came to tell you." I said while eating my love meal.

"Boss, what did you say? What about me and Kong Tian? I've already married Xiao Mei, how come there are still rumors in the capital?" Yu Xuanzi protested

.

"I know, but do you know! Your brother who likes men married a man to be the mistress of Dezhuang. The rumor is that

the man looks a bit like you, so people in the capital think he did it because he was heartbroken." I said after I finished eating.

"He...he actually...I killed that bastard, and he actually insulted me like that." Yu Xuanzi's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"K, you actually have such filthy thoughts? I have a very good suggestion for you: take a few more wives, and then people in the capital

will have a new rumor that you've become lecherous." I mocked him wickedly.

"Boss, you're still making fun of me. You know Xiaomei's personality; she'd kill me for sure." Yu Xuanzi sighed, seemingly

afraid of his wife .

"You're really useless. You'd better explain things clearly to Xiaomei, and it would be best if you had a son within a year. Then there won't be any problems. This is

my best advice." I picked up Shangguan Xin, preparing to go back to the room.

"Boss, this is the first time you've spoken like a human being. I really thank you for your advice." His grateful eyes made me feel like a heinous

villain.

"K, nyyd, do I look like a bad guy? You just need to keep a close watch on Wang Jun." I left, letting him think

alone for a while.

On the other side, after Gao Yuan reported everything to Ye Wuxia, Ye Wuxia's first reaction was that Gao Yuan had been deceived. She

raised an eyebrow, "Gao Yuan, you've been fooled. Ji Qingran is an only child; she has no brothers or sisters." Gao

Yuan was too frightened to speak. "Alright, you didn't know any of this anyway. Since the manor suffered no loss, let's just forget about it."

Ye Wuxia finished speaking expressionlessly and left the hall to return to her villa.

Time passed. I spent my days teaching Shangguan Xin music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. To my surprise, she learned them all very quickly. That evening, I took her

pulse; it was very strange, and I didn't know how to cure her.

Just as I was teaching Jiaren to paint, Yu Xuanzi burst into my room. "Boss, what you wanted has appeared. Wang Jun contacted someone, and

he went to the teahouse today. The teahouse owner gave him a note, and I later found out that a customer specifically requested it. The owner

doesn't know the contents, but judging from the person's generosity, it's not a good thing."

Seeing him bring me such good news, I didn't blame him. "Good, you keep a close eye on Xin'er today. Don't let anything happen to her,

or I won't let you off the hook." I transmitted my voice to him. Jiaren couldn't know about this; it would be bad if she went with me.

"Boss, your woman doesn't like me. She'll cry. You'll kill me then." Yu Xuanzi pleaded.

"If she cries after waking up, don't worry, I won't be angry. Just protect Xin'er like you protected Shu'er and the others

." I said with satisfaction.

Yu Xuanzi nodded helplessly in agreement and tactfully left. I continued teaching Shangguan Xin to paint, and she listened attentively.

As night approached, I had dinner with the beauty, and after she took a bath, I held her in my arms and coaxed her to sleep. Seeing Shangguan Xin gradually drift off to sleep,

I got up from bed with peace of mind.

"Boss, you should leave now. You must promise me that if she cries, it's not my fault, and you won't get angry at me," Yu Xuanzi

emphasized repeatedly.

"Damn, when have I ever gone back on my word? Just focus on protecting Xin'er." I used my 'Shadowless Demon' technique

to leave.

Chapter Eight

The night was dark and windy. With a series of footsteps echoing through the air, I had entered the grounds of Weixia Manor. Following the map Yu Xuanzi had shown me a few days ago, I sneaked into the courtyard marked on the map under the moonlight. What intrigued me most was that there was a 'Plum Blossom Stake Formation'

here, similar to that of Zhuge Liang . 　　This formation is entirely composed of winter plum blossoms. The Bagua Plum Blossom Formation incorporates features of Zhuge Liang's Bagua Formation, using 10,000 winter plum branches ranging from 1 to 2.5 meters in height. The entire flower formation has only one formal entrance and exit. The intended center of this Bagua formation is a pond, half of which is filled with water.

The area is dry land, with green water and white soil, creating a striking contrast of yin and yang. On one side of the dry land is an ancient well, resembling the eye of a yin-yang symbol.

Around the pond, eight main lanes radiate outwards, dividing the plum blossom area into eight sections. These are further connected by side lanes and branch lanes.

Outside these lanes, along the edge of the plum trees, are eight smaller plum blossom formations, enclosing the courtyard with a higher outer area and a lower inner area.

The pond is the center of this Bagua formation, the "central palace," with more than ten plum blossom stakes evenly distributed throughout, forming

eight palaces: Kan, Li, Zhen, Dui, Gen, Xun, Kun, and Qian. Together with the central palace, this makes nine palaces.

These eight palaces represent the snake, bird, dragon, tiger, and the heaven, earth, wind, and clouds formations, making this a rare "Bagua formation."

"Damn it, is this a mistake? A steward's courtyard doesn't need to be this elaborate!" I thought to myself. Luckily, I'm

very , otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get in.

After overcoming the obstacles, I headed towards an exquisite attic. Attics, typically called "corner towers," are known for their

varied , intricate decorations, and gracefully flowing facades.

I used my light-footed skills to ascend the attic, but unexpectedly, I still alerted the owner. "Who goes there? How dare you trespass into Weixia

Manor !" a cold, emotionless voice rang out.

"Damn, what's going on? It's a woman! What's with that androgynous thing?" I was startled. Wasn't this the steward's house?

How did I end up in a woman's room ?

This was all Yu Xuanzi's fault for not explaining clearly. He bought a map, leading the servants of Weixia Manor to believe he was pursuing their master. He gave

them the master's map, so hearing a woman's voice wasn't surprising at all.

I dared not utter a sound, even forcibly slowing my heartbeat by half. The woman inside had already come out when she heard me come upstairs and

was now standing before me.

"Young master, you're incredibly audacious. To enter the defensive perimeter of Weixia Manor and breach my carefully laid defenses—you

are indeed rare indeed. However, I only wish this to happen once, so you shouldn't exist." A woman with icy

eyes, her face veiled, drew her sword before she could finish speaking.

The longsword, gleaming brightly in the moonlight, was blinding. "Damn, I don't fight women. You'd better not lay a hand on me." The thought that this woman was not to be trifled with flashed through my

mind .

A flash of sword light, and the woman attacked me. She wielded the Shaolin Dharma Sword, incredibly refined. The first move, "Stirring the Sea," saw the sword

trace a large arc from left to right, aimed directly at my left hand! I hastily dodged.

Then came the second move, "Opening the Heavens." The woman twisted her waist, her right hand forming a circle, the sword thrusting straight towards my chest!

I hastily dodged, but her third move came at me. She half-bent, half-squatted, executing a "Dragon Swallowing Stance," her sword tip drawing countless circles,

a sudden gust of wind sweeping across the sky! I dodged while shouting, "You idiot, I already said I wouldn't fight you anymore, but you still attacked me

from both sides without any mercy! Fine! I'll make an exception and play with you today." I stopped dodging and met her attack head-on.

She used a very subtle sword technique, her longsword slashing downwards with a powerful, explosive sound, aiming straight for my right leg! I

dodged to the left , and she leaped forward, her left hand forming a sword gesture, her right hand unleashing a "Mist-Breaking Stance" to thrust at my right ear! The slanted shadow of the sword light, accompanied by

the incredibly slow movement of her longsword, slowly swung towards my left hand!

I couldn't figure out what she was trying to do, but my instinct told me to dodge. I used my "Shadow and Spirit" technique to evade her attack. This

woman was incredibly skilled; she had actually incorporated Tingyu's Splitting Light Saber Technique into her swordplay—her most powerful move. She clearly intended to kill me.

"Damn it, I've tolerated you for a long time. You even use Tingyu's Splitting Light Saber Technique against me! You expect me to show mercy? No way!"

As soon as I finished speaking, I grabbed the woman's hand.

The woman had been distracted when I mentioned Tingyu's name, and now that I was holding her hand, she was even more terrified. For a woman

who never interacted with men, my actions were an insult to her reputation.

"You… let go of me! I swear I won't rest until I kill you!" The murderous intent in the woman's eyes intensified, making even me shudder.

"Wow! Your murderous aura is so strong; you shouldn't be holding a sword then." As soon as I finished speaking, I snatched the sword from her hand.

But my hand was still wrapped around hers. I couldn't tell if she was beautiful or not, but her snow-white, soft, slender hand made me reluctant

to let go.

"You shameless bastard, let go!" The woman's heart trembled as I gently squeezed her hand. A thrill flashed through her chest, and

she frowned, her tone growing colder.

"Damn, I still have teeth, look!" I feigned ignorance, flashing my teeth in front of her.

The woman was already flushed with anger at my words. "You…" she stammered, unable to finish her sentence.

"Woman, you're smart. I have things to do, I don't have time to play with you." I smiled wickedly, kissed her hand

, and then used my "Sky-Piercing Delight" to leave.

Just as I saw this icy woman also feel shame, I heard the sound of branches rustling in the woods.

"You lecher! Where do you think you're going? I'll never let you go!" The woman chased after me relentlessly. I didn't care if she could

catch me or not, and sped away.

"Wang Jun, you're too late. A mere lord of Weixia Manor has scared you like this? You're utterly incompetent. Ye Wuxia is just a

rising star; there's no need for you to be so afraid!" An old man's voice echoed from a clearing in the woods.

"Protector He, aren't you afraid of Ye Wuxia's Wind and Dust Sword Technique? She

modified , making it the formidable martial art it is today. You can't even get close to Murong Tingyu, yet you speak such boastful words." Wang Jun retorted angrily

, angered by the insults.

"Alright, I'm here to convey the Master's message, not to argue with you. The Master is losing patience and hopes you quickly

retrieve the jade pendant from Mo Linglong. Also, the Master hopes you can break Ye Wuxia's formation as soon as possible. The Master wants Ye Wuxia to become his woman; you must

know the Heavenly Silkworm Sect is a rare and valuable force." Protector He said with amusement.

"Hey, what are you talking about? The Lord has already... You know that no one has ever broken into Ye Wuxia's backyard, you..."

Wang Jun realized he shouldn't reveal too much, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Wang Jun, this is the master's order, we cannot disobey it. I heard that the lecherous Prince Gong has also come here. You lure him

into your sect leader's 'Plum Blossom Stakes Formation.' If he takes a liking to your sect leader, even better. It will make Ye Wuxia hate the Manchus and

realize the master's dream of becoming emperor," Protector He suggested.

"Damn, they've actually come after me! Wait, that formation looks like the 'Plum Blossom Stakes Formation.' That cold woman, could she be...

Oh no, I'm in trouble! That female assassin that no one in the martial world dares to mess with! My heart is breaking."

Before Wang Jun could even ask any questions, a cold female voice interrupted. "What a meticulous scheme! They've actually come to attack

the Heavenly Silkworm Sect. Have all the Heavenly Silkworm Sect members died?"

I heard two big men gasp. "Useless things, I'm not even as scared as you." I watched

the good show that was about to unfold.

"Sect...Sect Master, you...you weren't already...already..."

"Already asleep, weren't you? Do you think I'm an idiot?" Ye Wuxia interrupted before Wang Jun could finish speaking.

Ye Wuxia glanced at the two of them and sneered, "He Mingke, you'd become someone else's lackey too? I never thought the leader of the Kongtong Sect would do this,

even setting your sights on me. You two are truly tired of living." As soon as she finished speaking, her long sword pointed at them.

"Ye Wuxia, if you knew who my master is, you would definitely regret making this move." He Mingke said while resisting.

"Hmph! Even if they're from the Nine Heavens Demon Palace, I wouldn't put them in my eyes. Are you afraid of your master?" Her sword swept towards Wang Jun,

who fell to the ground with a thud, a single sword to the throat. What a powerful swordsmanship, both fast and ruthless.

He Mingke was, after all, a sect leader. Ye Wuxia swept her sword at his left arm from behind. He hurriedly raised his sword to block, unaware that he

had exposed an opening. Ye Wuxia, expressionless, used her lightness skill to dodge, and before he could react, her sword had already pierced his chest.

"Ye... Ye Wuxia, our lord will definitely... will not let you go." He Mingke died as soon as he finished speaking.

"Hmph, I don't know how many people I've killed. If I were afraid of everyone cursing me before they died like you, I wouldn't be Ye Wuxia

." Ye Wuxia laughed, her laughter so cold, as chilling as a messenger from the King of Hell. I was stunned. What a woman with character, but she seemed to

have ruined my good time.

"You can come out now. Do I have to ask you to come out?" Ye Wuxia's voice was even colder than before.

"Damn it, you actually ruined my good time! Woman, don't you ask who the mastermind is before you kill someone? I still have things to

investigate." I angrily climbed down from the tree.

"The dignified Prince Gong, a man so fond of women, actually goes out on business, and it's even a matter of the martial arts world. It seems the heavens have opened their eyes." Her icy

voice, laced with mockery, infuriated me.

"Damn it, can't I, a man with nothing better to do, meddle in other people's business?" I retorted irritably. This woman was indeed

formidable ; she could discern my identity from a single conversation.

"What I'm curious about is, how can a lecherous man possess such excellent martial arts skills? Logically, Your Highness should be enjoying the company of a brothel right now."

Ye Wuxia continued to mock, unaware of the conflict she had ignited.

I thought the daughter of the owner of Weixia Manor must be quite attractive. I didn't expect Weixia Manor to have a female owner, and no one had ever seen her before, so I came to see for myself. I never

imagined she would be the leader of the Heavenly Silkworm Sect, and a woman who dares not show her true face." Seeing her gaze grow even colder,

I felt immense satisfaction, and the conflict intensified.
