Chapter Twenty-Seven of the Ten Scenes Satin

Wen Yuan was startled, thinking, "With Lu Daoren's high level of skill, if he wields the Li Long Sword, that would be disastrous. I'm afraid even Brother Murong would struggle to handle him." Just as he was worrying, he suddenly heard Zi Yuan say, "Gentlemen, may I have a word to say?"

Zhao Pingbo was furious, but hearing Zi Yuan's gentle voice, his anger subsided by a third. He turned his head and asked, "What does the young lady wish to say?"

Zi Yuan stepped forward slowly, glancing around. The street fell silent for a moment. She said, "Although I am a lowly woman working in a brothel, I know how to maintain my integrity. Your Highness, being of noble birth, should also understand propriety. I am not feigning arrogance, but wealth and riches are fleeting. I have never been swayed by money or power, as Your Highness has surely heard." Zhao Pingbo remained silent.

Zi Yuan continued, "If Your Highness wishes to use money to make me your concubine, I regret that I cannot comply. With Your Highness's status, finding a suitable woman is not difficult; please, have some self-respect. Young Master Wen and the others are acting out of righteousness; please, Your Highness, do not make things difficult for them, lest you be ridiculed by the world. Since ancient times, nobles who wish to leave a good name must know that power should not be abused, and influence should not be used to bully others."

She then bowed slightly.

As soon as she finished speaking, the surrounding crowd began to murmur, clearly quite dissatisfied with Zhao Pingbo and his group. Murong Xiu laughed heartily and said, "Little girl, I didn't expect you to be so eloquent. You're not a subservient person; you're quite something!" Zi Yuan smiled slightly, "You flatter me." Zhao Pingbo's face turned ashen, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing that the crowd clearly sided with Zi Yuan, Lu Daoren was surprised: "This woman is no ordinary person. The fact that all these people are on her side is truly unexpected." A thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately said loudly, "Young Prince, I am ordered by Your Highness to escort you safely to the capital. To wage war over a woman would be extremely unwise. If the young prince, a man of noble birth, were to be endangered because of this, I would be willing to die a thousand deaths to atone for it. Let us set this matter aside for now and call it

a day." Zhao Pingbo had originally planned that Lu Daoren and Yan Tie would join forces to easily kill Wen Yuan and his men, but Lu Daoren's words were completely contrary to his wishes. He immediately shouted angrily, "Lu Daoren, are you unwilling to obey my orders?" Lu Daoren said, "Although the Murong brothers are ruthless, I am not afraid of them. I am only worried that they might be detrimental to the young prince. Young Prince, there are many beautiful women in the world, why be so fixated on this?" Yan Tie nodded, his voice hoarse, and said... "Master Lu is right."

Zhao Pingbo was furious and about to explode when he suddenly saw Master Lu give him a wink. Zhao Pingbo pondered for a moment, thinking, "The three opponents are all experts. Master Lu probably doesn't want to fight head-on and has another clever plan. That's right! This Murong Xiu won't follow Miss Ziyuan forever; there will always be an opportunity to strike. Let them redeem Miss Ziyuan first, and we can take her back later. It will save us a lot of money." Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his lips, and he said, "Since that's the case, I'll do you a favor. Granny Zhu, it's up to you whether Miss Ziyuan stays or goes."

Upon hearing this, everyone was in an uproar, discussing among themselves: "Why has this young master suddenly become so magnanimous?"

"Miss Ziyuan has talked him out of it." "Bah, I don't think it's that easy."

Zhao Pingbo mounted his horse and shouted, "Let's go!" Murong Xiu suddenly shouted loudly, "Where are you going? You little bastard, I still have a score to settle with you. You dare to be disrespectful to my little sister, hehe, leave your head behind before you leave!"

His figure flashed, and he suddenly closed in, grabbing Zhao Pingbo with one hand.

Lu Daoren had anticipated his surprise attack. He swiftly parried Murong Xiu's move with his left hand, coldly saying, "Great Murong, how about we settle this in the capital?" Murong Xiu sneered, "You son of a bitch, get out of my way!" He swayed, trying to overtake Lu Daoren, but Lu Daoren turned and blocked him again, shouting, "Brother Ke, Brother Shao, protect the young prince!"

Murong Xiu sneered a few times, then shouted sharply, "You idiot, get lost!" With a "whoosh," Murong Xiu drew his longsword, his wrist flicking, a series of rapid, crackling sounds as his sword flashed, pressing towards Lu Daoren.

Lu Daoren drew his sword to block, then shouted, a layer of white mist suddenly appearing on his face three times in succession. Murong Xiu recognized it as the Taoist divine skill "Three Pure Ones Returning to Origin True Technique," cursing inwardly, "Damn thief, is he going to use his real skills now?" His longsword flashed four times in quick succession, forming a "mouth-shaped" sword stance.

Lu Daoren's eyes widened, and he shouted, "Great Murong, today I'll show you something powerful!" Before he finished speaking, the sleeves of his Daoist robe whistled through the air, and the sounds of clashing swords filled the air. A muffled thud followed, and dozens of metal fragments flew everywhere, leaving both men with only half a blade of their swords.

Murong Xiu angrily retorted, "You wicked Daoist, do you want to fight to the death?" Lu Daoren remained unmoved, saying, "If you want to fight, we'll settle this in the capital. I won't be playing today!" With that, he swung his right palm, sending a gust of wind straight at Murong Xiu, and retreated. Murong Xiu casually deflected the attack with a palm strike, feeling a slight tremor. He snorted and said, "To the capital? Heh heh, you want to use the Imperial Mausoleum Sect to kill someone with a borrowed knife?" Lu Daoren sneered and said, "As long as that Huang Zhonggui doesn't kill you first, this humble Daoist will be waiting for your arrival." A

murderous glint flashed across Murong Xiu's face. He took a step forward, when suddenly he heard Little Murong call out, "Big Brother!" Murong Xiu hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Lu Zamao, you'd better wash your neck and wait!"

Lu Daoren said nothing more, turned around and walked to Zhao Pingbo's side, mounted his horse, and escorted Zhao Pingbo away.

Zhao Pingbo glanced back, smiled slightly, and rode away. Yan Tie and the others followed behind, and in the blink of an eye, they were all gone.

Seeing the Jingwei Prince's Mansion members retreat, Xiao Murong smiled at Murong Xiu and said, "Brother, thank you! I'm so glad you held back and didn't kill anyone." Murong Xiu stamped his foot and angrily said, "You brat, if I had known Lu Zamao was here, I wouldn't have agreed to this annoying condition." Wen Yuan said, "If someone were to die, the Prince's Mansion would have a pretext, and then it wouldn't be easy to deal with." Xiao Murong smiled at Wen Yuan and said, "That's right. Anyway, let's save Miss Ziyuan first, and we can kill them slowly later."

Murong Xiu threw away the broken sword in his hand and shouted loudly, "Granny Zhu, take the 100,000 taels of silver here, and then let this little girl leave. Little sister, brat, you two handle things here, I'm leaving!" Without waiting for a reply, he turned and ran. Xiao Murong called out, "Brother, wait! Where are you going?" Murong

Xiu stopped and turned back with a cold smile, "Of course, I'm going to catch up and kill that thieving Taoist!" After saying that, he turned around again and left without looking back.

Wen Yuan asked, "Brother Murong, are you alright without your sword?" Little Murong shrugged and smiled, "Don't worry, Big Brother will be fine."

Meanwhile, Granny Zhu had already ordered people to carry the boxes of silver inside. Zi Yuan remained silent and quietly entered the Water Swallow Tower. Wen Yuan and Little Murong exchanged a glance and followed her in.

Zi Yuan passed through the front hall and arrived at the Bond Pavilion. The pavilion hadn't changed much, except for a large wooden box—the luggage that Granny Zhu had hastily packed. Zi Yuan opened the box and saw only simple clothes inside, nothing valuable. She smiled slightly and whispered, "Mother Zhu is very shrewd."

Xiao Murong whispered to Wen Yuan, "Hey, what do you plan to do with Miss Zi Yuan?" Wen Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "I think I'll send her back to her hometown first, to see if she has any relatives left. Miss Zi Yuan, what's your opinion?"

Zi Yuan whispered, "I'll leave it to Young Master Wen." Saying this, she picked up her pipa, packed a few sets of clothes from the box, and said softly, "Let's go, we can't stay here any longer." Xiao Murong nodded and said, "That's right, those guys left so reluctantly, they might have some ulterior motives. We should leave first."

Xiao Feng entered the pavilion and smiled, "Congratulations, Sister Zi Yuan!" Zi Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Feng, do you want to come with me?" Xiao Feng said, "Mother Zhu won't agree." Zi Yuan said, "I'll go tell Mother Zhu that you can stay with me, and we'll leave together." Xiao Feng was overjoyed and asked, "Really?"

Zi Yuan smiled at Wen Yuan and said, "Young Master Wen, is that alright?" Wen Yuan smiled and said, "If the young lady is willing, why not?"

The four of them came out of the pavilion, and Ziyuan told Granny Zhu what had happened. Granny Zhu initially refused, but Xiao Murong secretly slipped her a few silver ingots, and Granny Zhu smiled and readily agreed.

The residents of the city, knowing that Ziyuan had left the brothel, flocked to the Shuiyan Tower to see her off, crowding the place to the point of being impassable. Several beggars rushed to Ziyuan and kowtowed repeatedly. Ziyuan quickly stepped forward to help them up, saying, "Please, everyone, don't do this. You've made me feel so ashamed." An old beggar stood up and said respectfully, "Young lady has always been very kind to us poor beggars. You're sure to have endless good fortune in the future. We're still so poor today, we can't repay your kindness, so we can only kowtow a few times." The courtesans of the Shuiyan Tower also saw Ziyuan off, all filled with envy.

Xiao Murong first went to the inn to find Hua Xuan, told him what had happened, and then met with Wen Yuan and the others outside the city. They had just met when a plume of green smoke rose from the northern sky, accompanied by a ring of yellow mist. Little Murong frowned and said, "Big Brother didn't catch them and wants us to hurry." Hua Xuan asked, "Where to?" Wen Yuan replied, "We're going to Xiangyang." Hua Xuan was taken aback and asked, "Why Xiangyang?" Wen Yuan said, "To send Zi Yuan back to her hometown first."

Hua Xuan felt a pang of unease and whispered, "Murong and I are going too?" Little Murong laughed, "Oh, of course! Sister, can you really rest easy if you don't come?" Hua Xuan's face flushed, and she lowered her head, stealing a glance at Wen Yuan.

Wen Yuan immediately hired two large carts. He and Hua Xuan rode in one, while Little Murong, Zi Yuan, and Xiao Feng rode in the other, heading west. The driver, seeing one man and four women traveling together, was quite surprised but didn't dare ask, continuing westward.
