Chapter 9: Sexy Night
In a quiet courtyard, in a unique little pavilion.
"Sister Wenren, can you tell me what kind of person is the famous Penglai Sword Princess?"
When the Double Cultivation Xuan Nu said this, Wen Ren Wan immediately looked at her with a smile: "Why do you want to know, Sister Huan Xin?"
The double cultivation goddess Xuannu had a demure expression and said calmly, "I'm curious. I heard that Penglai Sword Lady is extremely beautiful and is admired by countless heroes on the continent. There are countless rumors about her, but I have never had the chance to meet her."
Wen Renwan covered her mouth and chuckled: "Sister Huanxin, what you said is not entirely true. If you want to get to know my wife, it's not difficult. Next time, I will invite you to go to Penglai Palace together. My wife will definitely welcome you. It depends on whether you dare to go."
Seeing her teasing her like this, the Double Cultivation Xuan Nu said angrily: "Don't talk about other things. Sister hasn't answered my question just now."
Wen Renwan looked at the beautiful face of the double cultivation Xuannv and said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry. Although my wife never speaks well to those men, I am as beautiful as a fairy, elegant and virtuous. If you are willing to become my wife's daughter-in-law, she will definitely like you very much."
The face of the double cultivation Xuannu finally turned red.
Wen Renwan seemed to like seeing her blushing and smiled and teased her for a while. Then she remembered that Lin Zixuan had been summoned by the double cultivation Xuannv not long ago, so she asked casually.
The double cultivation Xuan Nu hesitated for a moment, then leaned close to Wen Ren Wan's ear.
Wen Renwan was surprised at first, then leaned over to whisper something into her ear. The double-cultivating Xuannv blushed and shook her head gently. The two women then whispered softly in each other's ears in the boudoir.
On the other side, the second floor of the courtyard building.
The white gauze curtains were hanging down, the oil lamp on the table was making a soft chirping sound, and under the dim light, a pile of clothes were scattered on the clean floor.
Two graceful figures and a thin figure were reflected on the snow-white bed curtains.
Lin Zixuan, who was completely naked, was half-sitting on the bed, and Yue Jian, who was completely naked, was hugging him, and the two were kissing passionately.
In front of Lin Zixuan, Lily, who was also naked, was kneeling between his legs, her lips moving up and down around Lin Zixuan's hot cock.
Lin Zixuan kissed Yuejian deeply, enjoying Lily's sweet lips and the warmth of her sucking on his cock.
She sometimes kissed Lin Zixuan's blunt rod head, licked the tightly closed urethra with her tongue, then rolled her tongue around and sucked the entire round rod head, before she took the entire rod deeply into her mouth.
Lin Zixuan let out a "huh" sound from his throat in comfort.
Baihe is three years older than Lin Zixuan, with a white and graceful waist, and her movements are very skillful.
What was even more unexpected to Lin Zixuan was that the lively and lovely Yue Jian was also very skilled in kissing him, which showed that it was not the first time for the two girls to do such a thing.
When he thought of these two outstanding beauties who had done the same thing with other men, Lin Zixuan felt as if his heart was blocked by something, feeling both comfortable and uncomfortable.
Yue Jian stopped kissing Lin Zixuan and moved to lie between his legs. Lily saw her coming over and stopped sucking, gently kissed the tip of Lin Zixuan's dick, then blushed and sat over, gently hugging Lin Zixuan's body, burying her pretty face in his chest, but she didn't hug and kiss him like Yue Jian did just now.
Yue Jian had already held his hard cock with both hands, and pecked it up and down with her cherry lips for a long time before putting it into her mouth and sucking it slowly.
Lin Zixuan embraced Lily's soft and smooth naked back. The beauty leaning against his chest gave him the first impression of being heroic, but now in his arms she was like a docile kitten.
"Master Lin, it's almost done now. Next, Yue Jian and I will offer our essence to you. Remember to follow your nose with your eyes and your heart with your nose. Don't move rashly, or you will fail."
"Please lie down, sir." She turned to look at Yue Jian and said, "Yue Jian, you go first."
Yue Jian spit out the warm cock in her mouth and climbed onto Lin Zixuan, her cute face full of shyness and trepidation.
Lin Zixuan had seen similar expressions on Sima Jiner and Wen Renwan before, when the two women had intercourse with him for the first time.
Lin Zixuan's heart moved, could it be...
What happened next really confirmed what Lin Zixuan had thought.
Yue Jian first held Lin Zixuan's penis and aimed it at her tender little hole, which was already wet at this moment. Then, she sat down gently with her petite body. Just the tip of the penis broke into the entrance of the honey hole. Yue Jian groaned miserably, then gritted her teeth and sat down. The little girl's eyes immediately turned red, "Sister Lily, it hurts..."
Lin Zixuan was startled and didn't care to lie down. He looked up and saw a small patch of bright red on the lower body of the two people where they were connected.
Yue Jian is still a virgin!
This was completely beyond Lin Zixuan's expectation, because the two women's behavior in bed just now showed that they were experienced in sex, but the blood that Yue Jian had when she was virgin was so conspicuous.
Lily rushed over to comfort him.
"Calm your mind, calm your breath, and practice the first form of the mental method."
Yue Jian did as she was told, and the pain was immediately reduced.
"Mr. Lin, Yue Jian's essence will slowly be transferred to your body. You don't need to do anything, just calm down and experience it."
Lin Zixuan nodded to show that he understood.
Yue Jian's vagina is tight and taut, similar to that of his fiancée Sima Jin'er. If he thrusts on his own, he will leak semen if he is not careful.
This was the first time he had seen Yue, and he didn't have the heart to destroy this delicate girl.
After a while, Yuejian began to gently twist her waist.
Lin Zixuan sighed softly, looking at Yue Jian who had her eyes closed tightly. Her petite, snow-white body had small breasts that bounced gently as she twisted her body like a pair of cute little pigeons.
Lin Zixuan was so excited that he stretched out his hands, touched her small breasts, and rubbed them gently.
As time slowly passed, Lin Zixuan felt a hint of coolness pouring into his body from the moment they intercourse.
His injuries were healing at an astonishing speed, a miracle that had never been seen before.
I have long heard that the Dual Cultivation Method is better than healing medicine, and it really lives up to its reputation.
This is just one-sided healing. If Lin Zixuan also has the dual cultivation method, the healing effect will be even more significant.
Suddenly, Yue Jian, who was twisting her body, trembled all over, and then seemed to lose strength and fell limply on Lin Zixuan's body.
Lin Zixuan's penis was deeply inside her body, and he could feel her vagina trembling, like a small mouth holding him tightly.
Lin Zixuan held her petite body, his hands gently caressing her naked back.
After a while, Yue Jian blushed and gently left Lin Zixuan's body.
"It's Lily's turn."
When the two of them were having sex, Lily was already very excited watching from the side, her lower body was already wet, so when she gently sat on Lin Zixuan, she just frowned slightly, not as painful as Yue Jian.
Lin Zixuan also saw the blood that was robbing her of her virginity, and looking at her shy face, he sat up involuntarily and kissed her little mouth.
After kissing for a long time, Lily panted and pressed him down, "Mr. Lin, Yuejian's essence has just been handed over to you, and it is not stable yet. You haven't practiced the dual cultivation method, if you accidentally leak it, all your efforts will be wasted. Leave it to Lily. After tonight, your injury will be at least 60% to 70% healed. In the remaining days, even if you accidentally leak it, it won't be a big deal."
After hearing what she said, Lin Zixuan lay down peacefully.
Lily's figure was much more mature than Yuejian's, with delicate ribs, white and round breasts, and a graceful waist. Looking at her beautiful eyes slightly open, twisting her body with a breath like orchid, Lin Zixuan felt a completely different feeling from Yuejian.
Her vagina is not as tight as Yuejian's, but it is also very elastic, and she has more juice. When entering her body, you can feel a warm and slippery feeling.
A small mouth came over from the side. It turned out to be Yue Jian who had just completed her mission. Seeing the two people being intimate, she couldn't help but come over to get some of the rain and dew.
About half an incense stick later, the two women lay on either side of him, panting softly.
After the two women injected their pure essence into him, Lin Zixuan felt that the injuries in his body had healed almost completely.
Not only that, with the help of the dual cultivation method, his true energy was further improved, and it increased by more than 10% overnight, which made him feel happy.
Lin Zixuan had the most intimate physical relationship with the two women respectively, and it happened under the instruction of the double cultivation Xuannv, and the current relationship was very different.
He kissed both girls passionately on their lips.
"Lily, Yuejian, you are so kind to me. You have given me your precious virginity. I, Lin Zixuan, swear here that I will cherish and love you from now on."
Lily looked at him deeply, "With your words, Yuejian and I are satisfied."
Lin Zixuan smiled slightly: "Just now I saw that you two are quite experienced, so I didn't have much hope. I didn't expect that you are still virgins. This is really a pleasant surprise."
Lily blushed, knowing that he had noticed everything, and said in a low voice: "Sir, the young women in our pavilion have to follow the pavilion rules because they practice the dual cultivation method. They need to learn the skills of love between men and women. Even if they resist in their hearts, they have to follow the pavilion rules passed down after the establishment of the pavilion. Before Lin Lang appeared, Lily was an unintentional person, so even if it was not the request of those Nanyuan elders, Lily still kept her virginity. The other beauties were not as persistent as me, and they lost their virginity to them early."
Seeing that she was getting more and more anxious, Lin Zixuan transformed the anger of the elders she mentioned into infinite pity for her, kissed her on the face, and said softly: "Let the past be the past. I don't mean to blame you. It's just that you elders are too lucky."
Yue Jian, who was standing by, was much more aggressive. Seeing Lin Zixuan praising those old men for their good fortune, she said, "Sir, those elders in the South Courtyard are really annoying. Every time they go there, they strip me naked and hold me to sleep. Not only do they kiss and touch me, they always like to put their stinky things in my mouth. I wish I could bite it off and see how they enjoy their good fortune in the future."
Lily on the other end glared at her, indicating that she was speaking without restraint.
Lin Zixuan was stunned and immediately became angry: "These old guys actually treated you like this."
When Lin Zixuan thought of the two beautiful women beside him, who had stripped naked and lay on the beds of those Nanyuan elders, allowing them to do whatever they wanted, he became furious.
Suddenly, he remembered something and said nervously, "Huan Xin is the leader of the Shuang Xiu Pavilion. So, she...she also..."
Lily quickly hugged him tightly, "Master, don't worry, the young lady is of noble status, not the same as us. In the entire Shuangxiu Pavilion, except for the young lady's future husband, who has the right to touch her."
Lin Zixuan heaved a sigh of relief, and then thought about it. At the banquet tonight, the double cultivation Xuannv just glared casually, and those Deans Nan were so scared. It was understandable.
Yue Jian also interrupted and said, "Originally, the Madam intended to marry Xuanyuan Lin's brother Xuanyuan Gui to the young lady, but now that the young master is here, the young master Xuanyuan has no chance, and the young lady doesn't like him either."
Lin Zixuan became nervous when he heard this: "Xuanyuanlin's brother? Your wife wanted to marry him to Huanxin?"
He couldn't help but be nervous, he and the double cultivation Xuannv were in love at first sight, plus Penglai Palace had always been at odds with the double cultivation pavilion, he was most afraid that something might happen between the two of them.
"Young Master, don't worry. You are the young master of Penglai Palace, and you are a perfect match for my young lady. It's not an exaggeration to say that you are a match made in heaven. As for Young Master Xuanyuan, my lady saw that he is a top material for dual cultivation. If my young lady practices dual cultivation with him, she will have the hope of reaching the highest level of the mind method. But my young lady likes Young Master, and no matter his family background or martial arts, Young Master Xuanyuan is not comparable. Young Master Xuanyuan probably has no hope."
Yue Jian pouted: "I don't like Xuanyuan Gui, he is just like his brother, stupid and looks like a bear."
Lily glared at her and said, "Yuejian, stop gossiping. Young Master Xuanyuan is a distinguished guest in my pavilion. If you spread this to Miss, I'll see how you explain it to her."
"That's right. Not only is he ugly, but he's also stupid. Every time he sees my young lady, his face turns red like a monkey's bottom. My young lady is as beautiful as a fairy. How can he be worthy of her?"
Lily couldn't do anything to her, so she explained to Lin Zixuan softly, "Young Master Xuanyuan and his brother were homeless in their early years, and originally depended on each other for survival. Later, they offended others because of fighting for justice, and the two brothers were separated while fleeing. The younger brother Xuanyuan Lin was seen by the elders of the North Court of our pavilion. Seeing that he had a unique physique, he was indeed a good material for dual cultivation, so he was recruited into the pavilion. Since Xuanyuan Lin learned the dual cultivation method by himself, his skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and even the wife was surprised."
"After learning that he had a lost brother, the court sent someone to investigate. After more than half a year, the two brothers finally met. Madam also discovered that Young Master Xuanyuan's aptitude was much better than her brother's, a rare talent in her life, and he was pure and kind-hearted by nature, making him a good candidate for the young lady's future husband."
At this point, Lily sighed softly: "Although the elders all agreed after Madam revealed this intention, Miss has always been very polite to Master Xuanyuan. Although Miss didn't say it, we all know that Miss has no love for Master Xuanyuan. Although it is unfair to say this to Master Xuanyuan, to be honest, Master Xuanyuan is indeed not worthy of my Miss."
Lin Zixuan listened quietly and learned from the two girls that after Xuanyuan Lin's brother Xuanyuan Gui came to Shuangxiu Pavilion a year ago, Shuangxiu Madam began to train him vigorously.
Not long ago, he followed the two Southern Academy elders of Shuangxiu Pavilion to handle affairs in Ningzhou and was not in the pavilion, so he was not seen at the banquet tonight.
After thinking about it, Lin Zixuan decided to meet Xuanyuan Lin early tomorrow morning.
Early in the morning, Lily and Yuejian carefully helped Lin Zixuan dress. Not long after, the double cultivation Xuannv arrived.
Knowing that her young lady must have something to tell her lover, Lian Yuejian was also very tactful and closed the door, and the two women left first.
"Lin Lang, did you sleep well last night?" The double cultivation Xuan Nu said softly.
Seeing her in a long white dress, like a fairy from heaven, Lin Zixuan couldn't help but hold her hand and said, "You slept well. Thank you, Huanxin."
"Why should you be so polite, Lin Lang?"
When he held her hand, the double cultivation Xuan Nu blushed a little, but her eyes met his boldly. After a while, her sweet kiss landed gently on the side of Lin Zixuan's face.
"Lin Lang, Huan Xin is really happy to meet you. It's getting late, I'll ask Yue Jian to take you to have breakfast."
After saying this, she covered her face with a veil and wanted to take him out of the room.
"etc."
Just as the double cultivation Xuan Nu was about to speak, she was embraced by her lover behind her.
"Huan Xin, let me hold you for a while."
The heart of the double cultivation Xuannu softened, her heart pounding, she was totally unable to say no, she turned around and hugged him, enjoying the intoxicating feeling of a man and woman in love.
Sniffing the delicate fragrance, Lin Zixuan and her hugged each other in the room for a long time before Xuan Nu, the double cultivation practitioner, said, "Well, it's getting late. There's a long way to go..."
In the days that followed, Lin Zixuan would always recall this tender and touching moment from time to time.
The two walked out of the yard side by side, and a familiar figure in front of them surprised both of them.
Xuanyuan Lin was standing outside the courtyard when he saw the veiled Xuan Nu walking out side by side with Lin Zixuan. He was stunned for a moment and quickly bowed slightly.
The double cultivation Xuan Nu nodded slightly, "Xuan Yuan Lin, what's the matter?"
"Replying to Xuannv, I'm here to look for Young Master Lin."
Lin Zixuan's mind moved, and he said to Xuannv, who was practicing with him, "It just so happens that I also have something to ask Brother Xuanyuan. Tell Yuejian that I will come over later."
The double cultivation Xuan Nu said softly: "I'll ask Yue Jian to bring you breakfast later."
"Okay."
Xuanyuan Lin was very surprised when he saw the two people being so familiar and intimate, but he didn't dare to show it.
The two then sat down in the pavilion in the courtyard.
Yue Jian quickly brought breakfast, glanced at Xuanyuan Lin, and left again.
"Brother Xuanyuan, have you had breakfast yet? Let's go together?"
"OK."
Xuanyuan Lin responded, and the two of them ate and chatted. The topic was very casual, but Xuanyuan Lin's behavior was always a little awkward.
Finally, Lin Zixuan got to the point and asked, "I wonder why Brother Xuanyuan is looking for me?"
Xuanyuan Lin said hesitantly, "Young Master Lin, I couldn't sleep last night. I have a question for you. If possible, I hope you can tell me."
"Please speak." Seeing his expression, Lin Zixuan vaguely knew what he wanted to ask.
It can't be such a coincidence!
"I want to ask Mr. Lin, what is the name of the sword you used yesterday?"
Lin Zixuan perked up and asked instead of answering, "Brother Xuanyuan, don't you know the name of that sword?"
After hearing this, Xuanyuan Lin's eyes widened, "Could it really be..."
Lin Zixuan uttered three words in a deep voice: "Xuanyuan Sword."
"Xuan...Xuan...Xuan-Yuan Sword..." Xuan-Yuan Lin's entire mouth was fighting, his words were incoherent, and his face was full of shock.
The well-informed Wen Renwan had never heard of the same name. At this moment, this simple young man who looked like he came from the countryside looked lost. Lin Zixuan knew that the person sitting opposite him was most likely a member of his father's clan.
"How could it be such a coincidence." Lin Zixuan murmured.
He looked at Xuanyuan Lin, "Are you from the Xuanyuan tribe?"
Xuanyuan Lin came back to his senses and fell to his knees in front of Lin Zixuan.
"Young Master...you are the young master of my Xuanyuan clan, Grandpa, I have finally found the bloodline of my royal family..."
Xuanyuan Lin cried loudly like a child.
After comforting him for a long time, when Lin Zixuan took out the rusty iron sword left by Lin Tianhao and filled it with true energy, the dazzling golden color and the complicated inscriptions on it lit up, Xuanyuan Lin's eyes became red again.
Lin Zixuan learned from Xuanyuan Lin that a plague had struck Taoyuan Township, where only a few hundred people of the Xuanyuan clan remained. The plague had killed almost half of the village's population.
The remaining people, because of their powerful martial arts, did not die, but they just lingered on, living in pain every day.
The two brothers Xuanyuan Gui and Xuanyuan Lin escaped the disaster because they followed their grandfather, the village elder, out to purchase supplies. When they came back, they saw that most of the village had been burned down and the ethnic minorities were dying.
In a fit of rage, their grandfather also passed away three months later.
Before leaving, their grandfather left a last word.
"Gui'er, Lin'er, Grandpa is leaving. You must take good care of yourselves from now on and don't forget our blood feud. You must find our clan's Emperor Xuanyuan Hao and ask him to postpone the dragon slaying. Tell him that person attacked our Xuanyuan clan and ask the Emperor to avenge our clan. Remember...you must find...the Emperor!"
Xuanyuan Hao...slay the dragon...Lin Tianhao!
Combined with what was written in the scroll, Lin Zixuan has confirmed that his father, Lin Tianhao, is the emperor Xuanyuanhao mentioned by Xuanyuan Lin.
Xuanyuan Lin's face was filled with sorrow, while Lin Zixuan's face was filled with anger.
He said in a deep voice: "Who is that person?"
Xuanyuan Lin raised his head, bewildered: "We don't know either. Grandpa refused to tell us, fearing that my brother and I would overestimate our abilities. He said that in this world, except for the emperor, no one can be his opponent, and even the emperor may not be able to win. Moreover, that person is elusive, and only the emperor can find him."
Lin Zixuan was shocked when he heard this.
Lin Tianhao had personally experienced how powerful his martial arts were. Even if the three martial arts masters joined forces, they would probably not last more than a hundred moves and would inevitably end up defeated and killed.
And that person is someone that even Lin Tianhao may not be able to defeat.
When Xuanyuan Lin asked him, Lin Zixuan told him in a deep voice that Lin Tianhao had disappeared after the battle with the dragon. Xuanyuan Lin's face turned pale.
Chapter 10 Return to the Imperial City
"Xin'er, have you thought it through?"
Madam Shuang Xiu looked at her daughter who had a determined face, and her expression was slightly unhappy.
In the evening, the mother and daughter sat on the stone chair in the pavilion, surrounded by blooming flowers, fragrant and light breeze, which made people intoxicated. However, the atmosphere between the mother and daughter was particularly solemn.
"I have thought it through very clearly. From the first moment I saw Xuan Lang, I knew he was the one I had been waiting for. I hope you can fulfill my daughter's wish."
Madam Shuang Xiu could not deny it, "You know, he not only has a fiancée in the capital, but also the girl next to him, who is also very close to him. And his Penglai Palace and my Shuang Xiu Pavilion have always been at odds, why are you so insistent?"
The double cultivation Xuan Nu did not retreat, saying: "It is very common for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Xuan Lang is a dragon among men, and Master Xuanyuan may not achieve the same success as Xuan Lang in the future. As for the grievances of the previous generation, they should not be borne by the next generation. My daughter believes that Jian Ji is not an unreasonable person."
Shuang Xiu Xuan Nu looked calm, but she actually had no idea what her mother was thinking.
Madam Shuang Xiu has always been strong and has the final say in the pavilion. As for the candidate for Shuang Xiu Xuan Nu's future husband, Madam Shuang Xiu prefers Xuan Yuan Gui.
In her and the elders' opinion, if Xuanyuan Gui could combine with Xuannv, the benefits to both sides would be enormous.
First is Xuanyuan Gui. After becoming the husband of the double-cultivation Xuannv, with his extraordinary talent, as long as he practices double cultivation with his wife in bed, his martial arts will surely improve by leaps and bounds, and he is expected to catch up with the current double-cultivation Xuannv in just one or two years.
At most, in three to five years, Shuangxiu Pavilion will produce another top-level expert.
The benefits that Xuan Nu gained from the Dual Cultivation were even greater. By combining her Dual Cultivation with Xuan Yuan Gui, within five years, she would hopefully become the second person to break through the Dual Cultivation Mentality to the highest level since the founding of the Dual Cultivation Pavilion.
By then, even Emperor Wuzong would have to bow his head in front of her.
This was a huge temptation that no one, including Madam Shuangxiu and the elders, could refuse.
The Yin Yang Sect is the mortal enemy of Shuang Xiu Pavilion for generations. Shuang Xiu Pavilion has long received news that the Yin Yang Sect has produced a peerless genius in this generation, calling himself the Yin Yang Master. He has taken the position of Sect Master before he is thirty years old. Even the Black and White Ghosts, who the previous Sect Master did not dare to order around, are willing to submit to him.
Half a year ago, an elder of the Southern Division of Shuang Xiu Pavilion had his limbs crippled by Young Master Yin Yang, who asked him to pass on a message to Shuang Xiu Pavilion: if Shuang Xiu Pavilion refused to submit, this would be the fate of this elder of the Southern Division.
Although she was not afraid of the Yin-Yang Sect, the pressure from the Shuang Xiu Pavilion was still great. Because of this, Shuang Xiu Xuan Nu had no love for Xuan Yuan Gui, and she did not refuse the matter proposed by her mother.
Until she met Lin Zixuan, Xuannu's heart was moved.
If Lin Zixuan's family background was average, even if Xuan Nu liked him, she would not take any action, because she knew that Madam Shuang Xiu would never agree.
But Lin Zixuan is not an ordinary person, but the son of Penglai Sword Princess and the future master of Penglai Palace.
This was a huge deal. Even though Madam Shuang Xiu had long been interested in Xuan Yuan Gui, she had to seriously consider her daughter's idea and the possibility of combining Shuang Xiu Pavilion with Penglai Palace.
In terms of benefits, it is still far less beneficial for the double-cultivation Xuan Nu to marry Lin Zixuan than to marry Xuanyuan Gui, who is the important cornerstone for the long-term development of the Shuang Xiu Pavilion.
But Shuang Xiu Xuan Nu was so determined, and as a mother, Shuang Xiu Madam had to plan for the future of Shuang Xiu Pavilion, and also consider the happiness of her beloved daughter.
Madam Shuang Xiu was silent for a while, then slowly said, "This is a serious matter, I need to discuss it in detail with the elders."
The double cultivation Xuannv knew that her mother had made up her mind and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
In the following days, every night Lin Zixuan would go to the small courtyard regularly, sit quietly with Xuannv and drink tea, and talk about some interesting things in the martial arts world, making her laugh softly.
Late at night, the double-cultivation Xuannv would always look at him lovingly, but because Lily and Yuejian were beside her, she seemed more reserved.
After the double cultivation Xuan Nu left, in the bedroom on the second floor of the small building, Lin Zixuan and Baihe Yuejian met each other nakedly, lying on the bed enjoying the two women's catering, letting the two women use their beautiful bodies to heal his wounds.
The next day, after Lily and Yuejian left, Shuang Xiu Xuan Nu appeared in the room tacitly. The two of them hugged each other gently, and Shuang Xiu Xuan Nu would always give Lin Zixuan a gentle kiss on the face.
Repeat this process.
Happy times always pass quickly, and on the fourth day, Lin Zixuan finally had to say goodbye to the three girls and continue on his journey.
We were already halfway to the imperial capital, in Wen Renwan's carriage.
"Brother Xuan, have some tea to cool down." Wen Renwan handed over a bowl of cold tea, but saw that the latter was leaning against the car window in a daze and didn't hear her words at all.
Wen Renwan couldn't help but chuckle, patted his shoulder gently, and called out, "Brother Xuan."
Lin Zixuan came back to his senses and asked in astonishment: "Sister Wan'er, what's wrong?"
Wenren Wan rolled her eyes at him and said, "What are you daydreaming about? You didn't even listen when I told you to."
Lin Zixuan shook his head, "Nothing."
"Don't lie to me, you can't bear to part with your sister Huan Xin, right?" Wen Renwan teased him.
Thinking of the time when they parted, when the beautiful eyes of the double cultivation Xuan Nu, who was covered with a white veil, contained deep feelings of reluctance, Lin Zixuan could not help but sigh: "Alas, after this separation, I don't know when we will meet again."
Seeing that he was already suffering from lovesickness, Wen Renwan smiled and said, "Okay, Brother Xuan, don't be like this. Shuangxiu Pavilion is only ten days away from the imperial capital. If you want to see Sister Huanxin, it will only take four or five days if you hurry. She has fallen deeply in love with you and can't escape. On the other hand, you two haven't seen Sister Jin'er for a long time. She is surrounded by a large group of young men every day. You should think about how to coax her next, so that she won't be snatched away by others."
Thinking of his noble and cold fiancée Sima Jin'er, Lin Zixuan smiled and said, "Sister Wan'er, stop joking. Jin'er is more discerning than Xiang. We have been childhood sweethearts since we were young. Apart from me, she won't even look at any other man. I have great confidence in Jin'er on this point."
Wen Renwan rolled her eyes at him and said, "You are the most arrogant. Come, drink this bowl of herbal tea."
Lin Zixuan obediently took the bowl and drank it all.
Four days later, the convoy arrived at the gate of the imperial capital.
Standing before everyone's eyes was a huge, impregnable city, with a stone wall nearly ten feet high. For hundreds of years, this ancient city had kept countless powerful enemies out.
On the city wall, there is a guard every three steps and a sentry every ten steps. Since the great achievements of His Majesty's ancestors, the security of the imperial capital has never been relaxed for a moment.
Outside the city is a vast plain. Once anything unusual happens, the sentinels will report everything to the palace as quickly as possible.
If outsiders want to enter the imperial capital, they need to pay a high entrance fee. For the wealthy Penglai Palace, this fee is just a drop in the bucket.
The Imperial City Avenue was very wide, enough for sixteen carriages to travel side by side. The ground was paved with solid blue bricks, and there were endless shops along the way. Walking on the road, the voices of vendors hawking goods could be heard one after another, and there was a constant stream of pedestrians on the road.
In the distance, a majestic palace stood before everyone. This palace, which had a history of thousands of years, was inhabited by the most powerful person on the continent today.
The prosperity of the imperial capital is dazzling.
Penglai Palace has some properties in the imperial capital. For example, there is a quiet courtyard in the west of the city, which is also where Wen Renwan and Lin Zixuan rest. Lu Zhongming occasionally comes to the imperial capital and stays there regularly.
But today, Lu Zhongming booked the Maple Leaf Inn in the south of the city, brought twelve butlers with outstanding martial arts skills, and personally guarded the two suspects.
Before coming here, Qin Yuning repeatedly told them that the two suspects from the Situ family must be kept under strict surveillance and that there must not be any mistakes.
With the idea that it is better to be safe than sorry, Lu Zhongming quietly moved into this humble inn.
Lin Zixuan and Wen Renwan stored the valuables they brought out of the palace in the warehouse of their own business in the city. After completing their mission, they both returned to their residence to wash off the dust on their bodies.
Lin Zixuan finished cleaning and waited for half an hour before Wen Renwan came out.
She changed into a light blue dress, and tied her long hair into a beautiful bun with an elegant plum blossom hairpin inserted in it.
As she moved lightly with lotus steps, her neat white embroidered shoes were faintly visible under her skirt. Under the long skirt, her slender legs and slim waist made her graceful figure stand out. At this moment, Wen Renwan's temperament was as extraordinary as a fairy.
Lin Zixuan was stunned.
"Sister Wan'er, why are you dressed so beautifully?"
Wen Renwan smiled and covered her mouth: "I have to dress up to go back to the academy. I have an appointment with a few friends. My sister will be back late tonight."
Lin Zixuan came back to his senses and nodded, "I wanted to ask you to go to Jin'er's place, but since Sister Wan'er has an appointment, I have no choice but to go by myself."
"You two haven't seen each other for such a long time, you will definitely spend time together tonight, so I won't disturb you."
Wen Renwan had already ordered her servants to prepare the carriage, and after saying goodbye to Lin Zixuan, she left in the carriage.
Lin Zixuan had the servants load the gifts he had prepared early in the morning onto another carriage, and then drove to Yumanlou where Sima Jiner was.
In the eyes of the people of the imperial capital, Yu Man Lou, as the personal residence of the stunning beauty and talented woman Sima Jin'er, is very famous in the entire imperial capital.
Yumanlou is a building in the literal sense, but in reality it is a spacious and quiet garden.
Whether it is the rockery and pond, or the Hundred Flowers Garden where all the flowers bloom in spring, they are all favorite places for scholars and ladies in the imperial capital.
Not to mention, any distinguished guest who is qualified to enter the building can often see eleven famous talented women, led by Sima Jiner, playing the zither and painting in the round pavilion in the middle of the lake. If you are lucky, you can occasionally see the talented women dancing.
There are many unique courtyards in the house, which are where eleven talented women who are famous in the imperial capital live.
The elegant three-story building at the innermost part is the Yu Man Lou, which is famous in the imperial capital and is Sima Jin'er's personal residence.
Since the day Sima Jiner established Yu Man Lou, Yu Man Lou has taken in some girls from poor families. These girls, who were about the same age as Sima Jiner at the time, learned to play the piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and to get along with others with the support of Sima Jiner.
Gradually, some talented people emerged, and Sima Jiner took advantage of the situation to promote these talented women to fame. The eleven talented women were the best among them, and now they have gained a good status and reputation in the imperial capital.
Lin Zixuan got off the carriage, ordered two servants to take the gifts off the carriage, and then walked into Yu Man Lou.
The two doormen recognized him and welcomed him in without even asking if he had a post.
In a small pavilion not far away, several young men and women in gorgeous clothes were chatting and laughing.
Li Ping'er, who was chatting and laughing with the man in front of her with dignity, saw Lin Zixuan approaching from a distance, and her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up.
"Please make yourself at home, Prince Wang. Ping'er is going to greet a friend."
The young master surnamed Wang smiled and said, "It's okay, Ping'er, go ahead. I'll stay here and play chess with them."
Having said that, Wang Hao secretly looked at Lin Zixuan in the distance. When his friend started to make his move, he saw Li Ping'er smiling charmingly at the young man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and he suddenly became flustered.
He is a famous talent in the imperial capital. Although his family background is ordinary, his talent and learning are superior to others. Otherwise, he would not be able to enter the White Deer Academy.
A year ago, he got a precious post through a friend's introduction and was able to enter Yu Man Lou.
When he saw Li Ping'er for the first time, he was deeply attracted by her extraordinary appearance and temperament, and he lost his appetite afterwards.
His friend saw his situation and asked him about it. Wang Hao did not hide anything and told his friend what he was thinking.
The friend is pursuing the goddess-like girl Jin'er, and there is no conflict with him.
After hearing this, his old friend slapped his thigh and immediately said that he would help him to take down Li Ping'er.
Although several of the ladies in Yu Man Lou are truly talented women, and all of them sell their art but not their bodies, as long as you can impress them, it is not impossible to have sex with them.
The best way to win her heart is to spend a fortune or impress her with your talent and make her fall in love with you.
Before this, there was a wealthy man in Kyoto who spent three thousand gold coins on Miss Yu'er of Yu Man Lou, and completely moved her heart. He became Miss Yu'er's lover for three consecutive nights, enjoying her good fortune every night.
This incident caused a sensation for a while, and countless people were amazed at the generosity of this wealthy man, and everyone envied his good fortune.
Not long after this, Li Heng, a talented scholar from Bailu Academy, wrote a seven-character quatrain in public for Miss Pingzhu from Yumanlou. This poem was an excellent work in terms of both word choice and artistic conception, and was worth a fortune.
That night, Miss Pingzhu offered herself to sleep with Li Heng, and asked him to stay overnight in her courtyard. This story of a talented man and a beautiful woman became a good story, and people talked about it with great relish.
Wang Hao didn't have the financial resources of the wealthy man in Kyoto, and he didn't think his talent could match Li Heng's, but he had many friends and connections, and every time he came, he would give him enough face in front of Li Ping'er.
Li Ping'er mistakenly believed that he was a wealthy and talented scholar. That night, he spent hundreds of gold coins he borrowed on Li Ping'er, and added a poem that he spent three months polishing. That night, Li Ping'er blushed and shyly kept him.
Wang Hao had been preparing for half a year, and finally got his long-cherished wish. That night in Li Ping'er's boudoir, he lay on top of her and fucked her to death. When he got out of bed the next day, he felt his legs were floating.
Since then, Wang Hao has regarded Li Ping'er as his woman. Although Li Ping'er's attitude towards him returned to a solemn and reserved state after that night, the scene of the two of them facing each other in bed that night, as intimate and loving as a couple, is still vivid in his mind. He does not believe that Li Ping'er will forget this incident.
Since they had already had physical contact, I think Li Ping'er must have treated him differently from others in her heart.
Wang Hao deeply believed this, but at this moment, seeing Li Ping'er's brilliant smile like a blooming lily, which she had never shown in front of him before, he panicked.
Looking at the young man, a hint of resentment appeared in his eyes.
Lin Zixuan was a little surprised. He was quite familiar with Li Ping'er. As one of the eleven famous talented women in Yu Man Lou, she was the object of pursuit by many talented men and dignitaries in the imperial capital.
But to him, she was just an acquaintance of Sima Jiner's and there was nothing special about her.
What surprised him was that Li Ping'er was very enthusiastic today, too enthusiastic, personally leading the way for him and making jokes from time to time.
It felt like she was in love with him, which made him feel uncomfortable for a while.
Because of Sima Jin'er, these talented women were always familiar with him but not close to him, for fear of accidentally causing misunderstandings among the talented women.
His identity as Sima Jin'er's fiancé had blocked their progress from the beginning, but Lin Zixuan was used to it.
Although the talented women are beautiful, they are still far from Sima Jiner.
The two servants followed behind with gifts in their hands, and when they passed by the lotus pond in the garden, they happened to run into Shangguan Yu'er.
Shangguan Yuer came over with a sweet smile and said hello.
"Sir, you haven't come for a long time. I don't know how long we sisters have been waiting for you."
Lin Zixuan was stunned when he heard this. He didn't understand what was going on today and why the two women left the talented men around them and came to him.
"I'm here to look for Jin'er. I'll chat with Miss Yu'er when I have time."
Shangguan Yuer smiled sweetly, "Jin'er is painting with the Third Princess and the others by the lake. I'll take you there."
"Don't bother sister Yu'er, I'll take the young master over there. Your young master Li is still waiting for you over there." Li Ping'er said with a smile.
"Sister Ping'er, that's not right. Young Master Li and I just met by chance. Please don't say anything nonsense. Sister Ping'er, is it really okay for you to leave your young master Wang behind like this?"
Shangguan Yuer said with a smile.
The two women seemed to have a very close relationship, and they did not hide their fun at each other, which made Lin Zixuan laugh.
Only in the smiles of the two women, they both saw the hidden, barely perceptible vigilance in each other's eyes.
"Okay, you two, stop bickering. Since you've been so attentive to me, I'll give each of you something later. I guarantee you'll like it."
"real?"
The two women shouted in unison, and saw the joy in each other's eyes.
"Zhen, let's go together. I miss my Jin'er so much."
After a while, the three of them came to the artificial lake in the garden. In the distance, there were many beautiful girls. Several large tables were placed on the lakeside. These ladies were painting and playing at the same time, which was dazzling.
Not far away, a group of talented scholars were watching from afar. Lin Zixuan had seen this scene countless times.
Most of these people came here because they admired the reputation of his talented fiancée.
These people were just waiting, hoping to find some reasonable excuse to get in touch with this stunning and talented woman.
Soon, Lin Zixuan, who was walking in front of the three people, immediately attracted the attention of the girls.
Some newly arrived talented people not far away frowned when they saw a rich and elegant gentleman being led by two talented ladies from Yu Man Lou. They whispered to their friends around them about Lin Zixuan's background.
Li Ping'er and Shangguan Yu'er separated without leaving a trace and blended into the crowd of women.
Lin Zixuan glanced past all the beauties and his eyes met Sima Jiner's.
After not seeing each other for a while, Sima Jiner has matured a lot.
The light yellow palace dress covered her exquisite figure, her eyebrows were like emerald feathers, her teeth were like pearls, and her eyes were like water.
She clearly has a scholarly temperament, and her stunning appearance is not without a hint of charm.
With her inherent coldness, she is like a goddess descending from the sky, proud and unconquerable.
This is a kind of beauty that is different from Wen Renwan, Qin Yuning, or the double-cultivation Xuannv.
The first time you see her, you can always feel her innate nobility and elegance, as well as her coldness that keeps people at a distance.
With her unique beauty and charming temperament, she has become the goddess in the eyes of countless young talents in the imperial capital, and the beauty that many dignitaries and nobles want to conquer.
But no one has ever been able to cause a ripple in her calm heart.
Lin Zixuan felt a surge of pride in his heart, because he was the only man of this talented woman.
She is painting.
To Lin Zixuan's surprise, when she saw her fiancée coming, she just nodded slightly and went back to her business.
Seeing that there were many people around, Lin Zixuan ordered the servants to deliver the gifts to Sima Jiner's small building, and then a maid and two servants left.
"Mr. Lin." A young woman in elegant clothes nodded to Lin Zixuan.
Lin Zixuan bowed quickly and said, "Greetings, Third Princess."
The current emperor's biological daughter, the third princess Li Ying, is Sima Jin'er's best friend. The two girls often visit each other, so she and Lin Zixuan are quite familiar with each other.
"I have nothing to do today, so I invited Sister Jin'er and I to come to the lake to paint. By the way, Master Lin has not been to the capital for a long time, but do you miss your sister Jin'er?"
As soon as he said this, all the girls gathered around him with smiles, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Lin Zixuan said without thinking: "I really want to."
All the girls burst into laughter immediately.
These young ladies who usually stay in their boudoirs for three steps a day, when they come to Yu Man Lou together, they are like birds out of their cages, free and bold.
Yu Man Lou's free style full of scholarly spirit was deeply loved by these young ladies.
We are all of similar age, and it is so pleasant to get together and write and draw on weekdays.
Not to mention that this is a place where many young talents often visit. Watching the talented people reciting poems and composing couplets makes people feel particularly happy.
The pair of lotuses painted by Sima Jin'er were eventually begged by a Shangshu's daughter. Her brother was a frequent visitor to Yu Man Lou and was very generous with his money. Sima Jin'er painted the paintings herself this time as a way of expressing her gratitude to her.
After playing for a long time, until the sun was about to set, the girls reluctantly left with their respective works.
Lin Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief, and the two of them stopped by the lake to rest. Sima Jiner leisurely brewed tea beside them, while Lin Zixuan watched her busying herself.
Seeing her pure white hands holding the cup, Lin Zixuan gently held it.
Sima Jin'er struggled a bit, but Lin Zixuan held her tightly, so she couldn't get away, and she let him hold her hand.
"Jin'er, I miss you so much."
Sima Jiner smiled calmly, "Really? You haven't come for so long, I thought Xuanlang had forgotten me."
"How could that be? I'm here now. I'll be staying in the capital for a while. I'll make up for all the time I owe you."
Sima Jin'er was surprised and asked, "Stay for a while, is this what Madam wants?"
"Yes." Lin Zixuan nodded, "Uncle Lu is going to do something very important next, which may be troublesome, so I have to stay and help at any time."
Sima Jiner asked, "What's going on?"
Lin Zixuan briefly explained to her the recent actions of the Situ family and the arrest of two suspects from the Situ family.
Sima Jiner frowned slightly when she heard this: "Why would the Situ family dare to offend Penglai Palace and do such a cold-blooded thing? Is there any hidden reason behind this?"
Lin Zixuan sneered: "They are probably colluding with some forces. Who knows what they want to do. But the identities of those two people have been found out. The Situ family can't escape this time."
Sima Jiner casually reminded: "Then you can't take the two prisoners to the other courtyard. It's not safe there. Everyone in the capital who has a little bit of information knows that the other courtyard is the property of Penglai Palace."
"Don't worry, Uncle Lu has arranged for them to stay at the Maple Leaf Inn, and Uncle Lu will personally guard them with twelve deacons. It's only a hundred or two hundred miles away from Huzhou, so there won't be any problems."
Sima Jiner looked at him and said, "With Uncle Lu, one of the three great martial masters here, I don't think anyone would be stupid enough to rob someone, but I still have to remind Uncle Lu to be careful. It's getting late, I've already told the servants to prepare some food, let's go together."
"Just the two of us?" Lin Zixuan asked tentatively.
Sima Jiner smiled slightly, "Just the two of us."
On the table, exquisite snacks were served one after another. Sima Jiner considerately picked up many of his favorite dishes and poured him a few glasses of fine wine.
The two of them ate and talked, and the meal took nearly an hour.
After having a good meal and a good drink, Lin Zixuan sniffed the intoxicating body fragrance coming from her body, and then looked at her pretty red face, and couldn't help but said: "Jin'er, I have prepared a lot of gifts for you this time, I will take you to see them."
Then he took her hand and walked towards her small building without saying anything.
"You all go down."
Lin Zixuan waved away several maids in the building, and they all stopped what they were doing. One of them seemed to be the leader and looked at Sima Jiner, who nodded slightly, and then they all left.
"This skirt was made by three of the best workers. It took a month to make. It is made according to your measurements and is made of the best silk and fabric. Please see if you like it."
"And this night-shining pearl hairpin, I spent a lot of money to have it made. In order to put these seven small night-shining pearls together, I spent a lot of time with my mother. Look, do you like it?"
Sima Jiner looked at it for a while, then smiled calmly and said, "I like it very much. Thank you, Xuanlang."
"As long as you like it." Lin Zixuan's face flushed from drinking, he quietly looked at his fiancée in front of him, then hugged her and kissed her beautiful red lips.
"Xuan Lang, don't..."
Just as he tasted the faint scent of rouge in her mouth, Sima Jiner suddenly gently pushed Lin Zixuan away, and the latter was stunned.
Seeing his bewildered look, Sima Jiner smiled and said, "I forgot to tell Xuanlang that Jiner caught a cold a few days ago. Although I took medicine and have recovered, I don't want Xuanlang to get it too."
"I have a strong inner strength, I am not afraid."
Sima Jiner shook her head, "No."
Lin Zixuan looked disappointed, but soon returned to normal. While Sima Jiner was puzzled, he hugged her again, and then Lin Zixuan put one hand straight into her slightly open neckline and grasped the round and beautiful breast that he had been thinking about day and night.
Sima Jiner gasped softly and fell limply into his arms.
Feeling the smooth, plump and soft touch in his hands, Lin Zixuan rubbed his fiancee's breasts while praising them: "Although we can't kiss, at least we can touch them. Jin'er, I haven't seen you for a few months, and you seem to be a little fuller here."
Sima Jiner was kneaded so hard that she couldn't speak. She pressed his arm tightly and panted softly.
Just as Lin Zixuan was enjoying himself, a maid's voice came from outside the door.
"Miss, you have an appointment with Prime Minister Wang's daughter tonight, and it's already late."
Sima Jiner quickly broke free and said to Lin Zixuan, "I almost forgot about my date with the Wang family girl. Xuanlang, I have to hurry to keep the appointment."
After finally returning home, I had intended to spend some time with my beloved fiancée, but first she had not fully recovered from her cold, and she had an appointment with a friend, so I wasted a lot of precious time.
Lin Zixuan was really frustrated this time.
Sima Jiner tidied her clothes, saw his disappointment, smiled gently, stroked his face with her slender hand, and comforted him: "There is a long way to go, Xuanlang, we are not in a hurry for such a short time."
"Okay, I'll come back tomorrow when I'm free."
"Wait, Xuanlang."
"Hmm?" Lin Zixuan turned around.
After a while, Sima Jiner came down from the wooden stairs on the second floor, holding a beautiful bundle in her hands.
"This robe was made by Jin'er herself in the past few months. Xuanlang will be able to wear it when autumn comes. Jin'er's craftsmanship is not very skilled, so it may not be very beautiful. Xuanlang, please don't despise it."
Lin Zixuan's eyes lit up when he heard this. He knew that his fiancée was very good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she had never touched a woman's feet before and was not good at sewing clothes.
The robe in front of me was soft and made of gorgeous materials. It was obviously not cheap, but the workmanship was very ordinary. It could even be said that the workmanship somewhat ruined the materials.
This shows that she made this robe very carefully, stitch by stitch. Although Sima Jiner looks arrogant and cold, she really loves her fiancé from the bottom of her heart.
He pulled up Sima Jin'er's hands and carefully examined her green onion-white slender fingers. As expected, he found that there were still several faint traces of needle punctures on them, and he couldn't help but be deeply moved.
The loss and frustration just now disappeared without a trace. Lin Zixuan kissed her face heavily, then laughed loudly, packed up his robe, and took it away carefully.
Just as Lin Zixuan returned to the villa, on the other side of the south city, Lu Zhongming was sitting in the lobby of the inn, cleaning up the food and wine served by the waiter while thinking about something.
He didn't drink much, but just had a few small sips to relieve the alcohol urge in his stomach.
There were eight tables in the small hall, and three deacons sat at each of the other two tables, making it seem quite empty.
Because he had already sent people to book the inn, there were no other guests except them, and the other six stewards were still on the second floor, two of them were guarding the prisoners, and the other two were on guard.
Wait until the six people below have finished eating before going up to take their turn.
Situ Dezong, humph!
Lu Zhongming sneered inwardly. This old guy was getting more and more confused as he grew older. He actually dared to rob the goods of Penglai Palace and kill their people.
Little did he know that Penglai Sword Lady was his woman, and if he disturbed his woman's interests, he would be making a great enemy of him.
He had already sent a message to his brother at the villa, asking him to prepare to write letters to his old friends in the underworld, inviting them to gather at the villa in ten days.
By then, he wanted to let everyone see the true face of this old fellow Situ Dezong, and see how he would be ruined and deserted by his friends and relatives.
After drinking two more cups, three men walked into the inn.
"Where is the shopkeeper? Hurry up, hurry up, prepare three good guest rooms for the three of us brothers, and a table of the best food and wine. Oh, and the wine, it must be the strongest. Hurry up, my brothers are starving."
A man with a face full of flesh sat down at one of the empty tables. Two skinny men with shifty eyes sat down beside him.
The waiter came over and said, "I'm so sorry, my three guests, our shop has been booked by customers here today. There is really no seat left. Please move..."
"Move your mother, there's no seat, open your eyes and look, one, two, three, four, five, what's going on with these five empty tables? You told me there's no seat, are you deliberately trying to fool me?"
"No... No, sir, our shop is really reserved and there is no room left." The waiter kept explaining.
The man had a fierce look on his face and slammed the table in front of him with a loud bang.
"Stop talking nonsense and serve me the food. In the whole imperial capital, who doesn't know my name, Lei Lao Hu? If you dare to neglect me again, believe it or not, I can smash your store with just one word."
The other six deacons in the hall all frowned, showing anger on their faces, but they managed to hold it back and looked at Lu Zhongming in the middle, who was the person in charge.
Lu Zhongming put down his chopsticks and said expressionlessly: "Lei Lao Hu, right? You are famous? Come on, smash one for me to see."
When the big man heard this, veins on his forehead jumped, and his eyes stared at Lu Zhongming. Suddenly, he overturned the table in front of him, and there was a crash. The big man shouted angrily: "Fuck your mother, I will smash it, so what!"
The noise downstairs startled several deacons on the second floor, and they all came out to see what was going on.
The waiter was so scared that he didn't dare to approach. At this time, Lu Zhongming spoke.
"Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Pay double the damages to the store and get out. I won't pursue your offense."
As one of the three great martial masters of Jiuzhou, Lu Zhongming still has this kind of broad mind. At first glance, these people are just small-time hooligans who usually bully the weak by relying on their bad temper. Lu Zhongming feels it is beneath his dignity to fight with such people.
The deacons on the second floor couldn't help but look at each other, all of them finding it funny, and they all wanted to see if this man with a face full of flesh could still be so arrogant.
But at this moment, one of the two people beside the big man looked at Lu Zhongming with some doubts at first, and after a while, he seemed to remember something and shuddered all over.
The sly-looking face was filled with panic and fear. He leaned close to the big man's ear, looking at Lu Zhongming and whispering something quickly.
The big man looked unhappy at first, but after a while, his eyes changed and he said something carefully to the man next to him.
Although Lu Zhongming was some distance away from them, his extraordinary hearing still caught the conversation between the two.
"Are you sure, is it really him?" The big man's voice sounded somewhat doubtful.
"Brother Huang, I'm sure. I've seen him from a distance twice in Huzhou. I'm sure it's him."
"Damn it, why didn't you tell me earlier? Are you trying to kill me?" The big man's voice was trembling.
"It's been a while, I can't remember him right now, but I thought he looked familiar. I really didn't mean to do that. Brother Huang, what should I do now?"
"What else can we do? Hurry up and ask for help. He is a big shot, he won't make things difficult for us little people."
The big man suddenly took a step forward and said hesitantly, "Sir, I have offended you just now. I hope you will forgive me and let me go. I will... I will compensate you for the things. I will compensate you right away. Waiter, here are five taels of silver. I... This is all I have. Do you think it is enough? If not, I will... Oh, it is enough, it is enough."
He turned to Lu Zhongming, his forehead wet with sweat: "Uncle, I have already paid for the broken things, you... you see..."
"roll."
Lu Zhongming was too lazy to argue with him.
The big man nodded hurriedly: "Ah, go away, go away, we will go away and not disturb you while you are eating."
The three then ran faster than the rabbits.
Having his appetite ruined by these people, Lu Zhongming simply drank a little, while the other deacons called the people upstairs to come down and take turns.
The people upstairs laughed and scolded the three blind guys, and someone shouted into the room: "Hey, Deacon He, you can come out now, Lao Wang and Lao Li are already here."
After a while, the deacon who had called out had already stepped on the stairs, but there was no movement in the innermost room.
So he shouted again, this time a little louder.
There was no movement, nor any sound.
Lu Zhongming suddenly put down his wine glass and jumped up to the second floor. The others saw this and realized something was wrong, so they all ran up.
Lu Zhongming pushed open the door. The windows in the room were intact, but inside the room lay three bodies that had been stabbed in the throat with a sword. His face turned pale and he squeezed out a few words: "We've fallen into a trap!"
The twelve deacons chased after the three men, only moments after they left. But when the twelve deacons came back, they found nothing.
Those three people had already disappeared into the vast night, leaving no trace.
The deacons' faces turned extremely pale. The assassin had silently killed two prisoners and a deacon with great martial arts skills right under everyone's noses.
The whole process was extremely fast and without making any sound.
Although the responsibility does not lie entirely with them, one can still imagine how furious Sword Princess would be when she learned the news.
"Mr. Lu, who... who did this?"
Lu Zhongming felt the faint fragrance that was about to dissipate in his nose, and said in a deep voice: "Including the three people downstairs just now, there are at least five of the eight shadow assassins just now. The one who attacked should be one of the three skeleton elders. This is their usual killing method, combined with their unique soul-bewitching incense, it is very effective against a small number of targets. The auras of those three were hidden so well that even I was deceived by them."
"The No.1 Killer Organization!"
"Blood Skull!"
The deacons cried out in shock.
Lu Zhongming realized that the complexity and seriousness of the matter far exceeded his previous expectations.
In order to destroy the evidence, the Situ family colluded with the Blood Skull. This notorious killer organization, led by its leader, the Skull Master, has become more rampant recently.
The Situ family's move tonight is tantamount to declaring war on Penglai Palace.
After thinking about it, Lu Zhongming wrote the letter overnight and sent it back to Penglai Palace using the fastest flying bird.
Lin Zixuan didn't know what happened tonight.
When he returned to the courtyard, he put aside all distracting thoughts, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to practice meditation.
His "Cultivation Divine Art" has entered the foundation-building stage. He can currently circulate twelve cycles in one breath, and has reached the middle and late stages of foundation-building. In the near future, if he can break through sixteen cycles in one go, he will successfully enter the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation Stage, which is the Condensation of Veins Stage.
According to his inference, Lu Zhongming's Wu Zong, after decades of practice, should be at the peak of the Condensed Veins Stage.
If he continued to progress at such a rapid pace, Lin Zixuan couldn't imagine how high his cultivation would go.
Therefore, he didn't want to relax for a moment.
As Lin Zixuan entered into a state of meditation, time passed quickly.
During the cultivation process, Lin Zixuan was in a trance when he heard the sound of the door opening, followed by soft footsteps walking in.
A familiar scent floated into his nose. The person seemed to look at him for a while, then took a silk scarf and wiped it on his forehead and face a few times, and then the footsteps slowly left.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already bright outside.
After a night, the Qi in his body increased again, and this feeling was exceptionally good.
But soon, his good mood did not last long and was completely destroyed.
"You said that the two prisoners were assassinated right under Uncle Lu's nose."
Lin Zixuan's face was filled with shock, while Wen Renwan's face was also filled with disbelief.
Lu Zhongming was in a very bad mood. He said in a deep voice, "I have written a letter to my wife overnight. I should get a reply tonight. I originally thought that the Situ family was just the first family in Wuzhou, nothing special, but I didn't expect that they would cause our Penglai Palace to suffer a series of defeats. Good, very good, I will remember this grudge."
Wen Renwan frowned, "The Situ family definitely doesn't have the ability to kill someone under Uncle Lu. Who did it?"
"It was most likely done by Blood Skull's men. They did not hesitate to expose the true identities of the three shadow assassins and deliberately caused trouble downstairs in the inn, attracting our attention. Then at least one of the Skeleton elders took action personally, first using the soul-stirring incense to make the deacon in the room lose consciousness for a short period of time, then killing the three people in a lightning-fast manner, and then retreating calmly. This is the usual style of the Blood Skulls, and no one else imitates it."
Lin Zixuan and Wen Renwan both felt a sinking feeling in their hearts when they heard this.
Blood Skull is a killer organization developed from You Country. The origin of its leader is extremely mysterious. He is called Skull Venerable and has reached the pinnacle of martial arts.
The three skeleton elders under him all possessed superb martial arts. Lu Zhongming had fought with one of them seven years ago. The two fought for nearly a hundred moves before Lu Zhongming injured him. The other party was only slightly injured and escaped from Lu Zhongming's hands.
From then on, Lu Zhongming took notice of him.
Under the three skeleton elders, there are eight shadow assassins who come and go without a trace, and nine hundred dead soldiers, forming the huge body of the blood skeleton.
This is a dark force that is hard to guard against. Anyone who provokes it will lose his appetite.
At Yu Man Lou, Sima Jin Er saw Lin Zi Xuan's worries, and she comforted him, "Xuan Lang, since the suspect has been killed, it's useless to worry about it now. Madam and Uncle Lu are here, they will find a solution."
Lin Zixuan frowned and said, "We were very careful about our whereabouts and safety along the way. My mother also sent three experts who are good at tracking and anti-tracking to follow us. If there is any movement, Uncle Lu will track it down immediately. No one followed us along the way. After entering the city, Uncle Lu was even more careful in case someone from the Situ family came to kill us. The whereabouts of the two prisoners were kept secret throughout the whole process. I really can't figure out where our whereabouts were leaked from."
"Xuan Lang did mention it to me yesterday, but Jin Er would never believe that someone from the Situ family or the Blood Skull Organization sneaked in to eavesdrop. I don't think it was you who leaked the secret, but someone from the Situ family and the Blood Skull Organization who had been waiting for you in the imperial capital since early in the morning. You kept changing routes along the way, and the convoy was protected by a large number of experts, so they had no chance to attack."
Sima Jiner analyzed calmly, "But it's different when we come to the imperial capital. The situation in the imperial capital is complicated. As long as we create an opportunity, it's the best time to fish in troubled waters. Waiting here, the chances are much better than taking action on the road. After all, one is in the dark and the other is in the light, it's hard to be on guard all the time."
Lin Zixuan sighed and said, "Oh, it's all my fault for not listening to you yesterday. If I had been more careful, I wouldn't have let them succeed."
If it was just the Situ family, Lin Zixuan wouldn't be too worried, but now that the Blood Skull Organization is involved, the situation has become serious.
He was no longer in the mood to enjoy himself with his fiancée, so after chatting for a while, he left in a hurry.
Qin Yuning's reply came very quickly, arriving before midnight that evening.
In the letter, she asked Lu Zhongming and Lin Zixuan to investigate the evidence of the collusion between Blood Skull and the Situ family. The clues can be found from the three shadow assassins who have appeared.
As many people as needed, they can be directly transferred from Penglai Palace.
Wen Renwan had to put aside her studies temporarily and immediately travel south by water, as Qin Yuning had another important task to assign to her.
When the three received the letter, it was announced that Penglai Palace had officially started a fight with the Situ family.
