Chapter 1

Naturally, it is Wang Yun. A young woman, without any name or status, sharing a room with a man, is that not shameless

Famous figures are always deified. This shows that there have been no outstanding talents in the Central Plains martial arts community over the past twenty years, allowing Gongsun Yunfei to rise to prominence. It is not difficult to imagine that if the Central Plains cannot produce talents in the future, in forty years, Gongsun Yun will be described as a person who has ascended to immortality. She found this possibility amusing

The fact that the young lady has been poisoned is undeniable. The young master has also invited a doctor to examine her. The poison was found in the tea, yet the young master believes that your esteemed residence would not commit such an act, and that it is merely a ruse concocted by me and the young lady

Indeed. Her beauty is striking, and it is evident that she admires him. The young lady has heard that those who come to pay their respects to the late master are all prominent figures from the Central Plains. Previously, among those she could see, only the young hero had not yet reached the age of standing. The young hero is quite young, yet he possesses a dignified appearance and walks with an air of confidence. I dare to speculate that the young hero achieved fame at a young age and is now a well-known figure.

It has been ten years... Do you think I have been poisoned during these ten years?

We are all family, Brother Shaode need not be so polite

It would be even more inappropriate to have someone take care of the young lady. The young lady has been poisoned in your residence, and unless the young master can identify the culprit, it is unwise to allow anyone to approach her casually

I am Wang Yun, a young lady. She returned the courtesy. The people of the Central Plains have an abundance of etiquette; she suspected that they spend at least half of their lives on mutual polite exchanges.

"No, that was just my good luck." She slowly opened her eyes, locking onto the wild gaze of the man in the darkness. "He Zai, I have something to ask you, come here."

What do you think of Gongsun Yunsheng?

What a surprise has been brushed across the eyes

I hope the young master will soon identify the culprit. With that said, He Zaiye did not engage in further conversation and directly closed the door

"Ronghua, you must be mentally prepared. The snake mark on Tiannu's face is a special tattoo. Lao Wu has studied it, and this tattoo cannot be removed. If you choose to keep this person, the pressure that Tianhe Manor will face in the future will be unimaginable"

She caught sight of He Ronghua's fingers trembling violently again. It must be an underlying illness, it surely is an underlying illness

You are saying that these two individuals do not... do not...

I am fortunate, but my good fortune is built upon my beliefs and habits. The more delicious something is, the more problematic it is; it should not be touched. The more beautiful something appears, the more likely it is to harbor toxins; it should not be approached. The more enchanting a flavor is, the more it should be avoided, lest one falls into a trap. The closer one is to someone, the more distance should be maintained; otherwise, one risks an untimely demise. I have always adhered to these beliefs, which has allowed me to live until now, yet I never expected to still fall into a trap...

She did not open her eyes, merely caressing the jade flute back and forth, her breath somewhat unsteady, and her lips slightly pale

"Since the Huangfu family passed down the lineage to their three-year-old daughter seventeen years ago, there has been no further news. " Gongsun Yun replied in a clear voice, adding with profound meaning: "To this day, even the Lianyun family estate does not know her appearance, her whereabouts, her preferences, and even the number of confidants she has cannot be ascertained."

Little did she know, he was a step ahead, swiftly supporting her waist and allowing her to fall into his embrace

"The young lady is mistaken; Gu Shaode has merely occupied a few pages in the list of wanderers, which is nothing significant..." Seeing her look of confusion, he exclaimed, "The young lady is not aware of Yun Family Village?"

"Young master Shao, you ... ..." The people of the Jianghu were displeased

She stood in the corner of the hall, surveying the outside. The small side door next to the main entrance resembled a dog hole; she came through the dog hole while others were welcomed in with grandeur, as if an emperor were making a visit. Tianhe Manor truly shows favoritism, treating some with great respect while neglecting others.

"Leisurely clouds, do you want to hint at Miss Wang?" Gongsun Zhi asked.

"Young Master of Leisurely Clouds, please."

Young Master Gu, those dogs outside... the chivalrous heroes of the Jianghu surrounding that young man look... like a pack of dogs fighting over a bone. If she is not mistaken, that young man came here with Young Master Xianyun, right

What a silence, no longer asking questions. He turned around the stool and sat down by the side of the bed, closing his eyes to rest.

Although the person is attractive, he is not the most handsome man, which greatly disappoints her and further proves that rumors should not be fully trusted

"Are you leaving so soon?" He Ronghua said, summoning a maid. "Brother He, Miss Wang, you haven't even had a cup of tea; leaving in such a hurry makes it seem like I, as the host, have not fulfilled my duties."

She is somewhat dissatisfied with this answer and continues to stroll idly in the enemy camp street.

"... ... Good!" She almost clapped in agreement. Where did this young upstart come from? Is it that he truly possesses such charm, or does that idle young master have some enchanting sorcery?

Gu Shaode, upon hearing this, scrutinized her even more closely. "Miss, are you not one of the heavenly slaves from the Central Plains?"

The young master of the Shao family asked this, sighing, how should I respond? After all, I am a servant of the Huangfu family. She pretended to struggle, noticing that Gongsun Yunqing's cold gaze remained fixed on her. She sighed: "In fact, there is nothing to hide. The Huangfu family is not mysterious, but truly fallen. Miss Huangfu is of limited intelligence and is completely incapable of fulfilling the role of protector, let alone that of the leader. I believe that in another two years, the position of left protector will change hands, and Young Master Xianyun will no longer need to keep the Huangfu family in mind."

He Ronghua nodded, his expression softening, and said softly: "I see..."

She can see through his thoughts without even opening her eyes, a slight smile playing at the corners of her mouth

It is, I wish to live a long life and pass away peacefully. You must lead by example, and when a knife comes at you, you must stand in front of me to block it.

I did not expect... I thought... but they are not a couple... Idle clouds, what do you say about her...

Yun Family Village specializes in recording significant events in the martial arts world, maintaining a neutral position, and is respected by all sects. The Young Master of Yun Family Village, known for his extensive knowledge, assumed the title of Young Master at the age of thirteen, and it has been just over ten years since then. Various sects have established good relations with him and place great trust in him. Tell me, is he not impressive

Is Yunjiacun very famous

What?

In the world of rivers and lakes, it is common to see examples of young men and women living together without being overly concerned about trivial matters, and Ronghua need not be too bothered by it. Gongsun Yun continued to lower her gaze, lost in thought.

Gongsun Yun had initially swept past her casually, but then quickly adjusted his gaze back to the heavenly slave ring on her wrist. In that fleeting moment of pause, she noticed it, yet she remained composed and politely performed a bow.

It sounds quite mysterious. The successive guardians of the White Ming Sect have always been candidates for the next sect leader. This generation's left guardian, Huangfu, and right guardian, Che Yanyan, the latter of whom enjoys collecting heavenly slaves, has provoked us several times. It seems that she is most likely to be the next sect leader... Miss Wang, since you are in the Huangfu family, what are your thoughts on the intentions of this left guardian?

He averted his gaze and replied in a low voice

Gongsun Zhi said: "This poison is quite potent, but it can also be resolved quickly. This person who administered the poison must have known that I specialize in pharmacology and can promptly save Miss Wang. Miss Wang's constitution is quite good; at most, she will need a few more days of recuperation and will not suffer any aftereffects"

Gu Shaode was just about to elaborate further on Gongsun Yun's eyebrows and eyes when suddenly there was a commotion at the main door. He turned around and was filled with a mix of surprise and joy

Did the young lady figure out what exactly happened

I see. What a clever move. Next time there is difficulty, she will consider handling it in the same way, throwing He Zai into the crowd, and she will escape like the carefree Young Master Yun. The term "seamless cooperation" has always been used to describe her relationship with He Zai

He did not want to correct it anymore, so he simply remained silent

"Young lady, please wait." The long-haired He Zai finally spoke, saying in a calm tone: "It is said that the late Master He promised during his lifetime that after his death, all his sixty years of experience in the martial world, regardless of right or wrong, would be compiled into a volume of the Grand Master, which would be kept at 'Yun Family Manor' for anyone to read, to prevent future generations from making the same mistakes. Such actions truly earn our admiration. With such a broad-minded Master He watching over us from the heavens, he surely would not mind if a humble servant came to pay respects, would he?"

"She will know who poisoned her once she wakes up; we need not intervene." Gongsun Yun relaxed his hands, and the broken twigs fell onto the muddy ground. He gazed at the mud for a moment, and when he lifted his face again, his expression was completely natural

Exactly ten years, neither more nor less

Gu Shaode saw Gongsun Yun finish offering incense, and then he stepped forward and said

"Miss." The voice was soft, almost whispering in her ear.

Behind me, there was a clamor, as if all the people from the Jianghu had gathered at the manor. Were they here to pay their respects, or were they waiting for Young Master Yun from the Yun family manor

"Huangfu family? Isn't that the left protector of the Demon Sect?" He Ronghua came from the back hall, with He Zai following closely behind. He Ronghua said: "In these past ten years, the Huangfu family has been in decline within the Baiming Sect. Does Xianyun or the Jigu Pavilion have any records of the Huangfu family?"

"What does the idle cloud refer to, young master Shao?" Gongsun Zhi reminded him

The people of the Central Plains are well aware that the sound of bells and the snake imprint are symbols of the heavenly slaves she asked tentatively

She returned the gesture and cast a glance at He Zai

Believe it or not. The closer the person, the easier it is to strike. She has raised a tiger, and this tiger can bite her at any moment

There shouldn't be any, right? This voice has turned cold again

Which one is 'he'? Is it him or her? The voice of Gongsun Yun sounded particularly cold on a moonless night

The Young Master of the Idle Clouds has arrived! He rushed out of the hall, shouting: "The main gate is wide open, welcoming the Young Master into the estate!"

She leisurely followed behind. After all, he was tall and strong enough to obscure the hostile glances of others.

"The fact that he allows us to enter and pay our respects shows that the young master has a magnanimous character. Such a person, when he inherits his father's position in the future, will surely bring comfort to the spirit of the old master in heaven." She complimented, watching as the maid brought over the tea. Gu Shaode took the tray nearby, and He Ronghua casually handed it over to He Zai.

I am He Ronghua, the master of Tianhe Manor. May I ask what important matters bring you both to Tianhe Manor?

No, she is not lucky; she is...

Ten years ago, when I left the Central Plains, Gongsun Yun had already earned the title of "Young Master." The Yun family estate had a literary figure and a martial figure, both of whom jointly presided over the Yun family estate. However, Mr. Fu passed away several years ago, leaving the title of "Mr." vacant for a long time. Gongsun Yun is well-versed in both literature and martial arts, and everyone regards him as the sole master of the Yun family estate, making him arguably the most successful figure of this generation

He gazed intently, gradually returning the gesture of respect

Gongsun Yun leaned against the corridor pillar, her clear eyes half lowered, remaining silent.

She did not stop her pace, closely following He Zai, to avoid accidentally being left alone and falling victim to an attack. She was not a cat with nine lives; she had to be careful to preserve her own life.

In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, she conformed to local customs, and her belief in peace without bloodshed was evident in her demeanor. The people of Tianhe Village should not resort to violence.

Is it necessary to make such a fuss? She touched the snake mark on her cheek, then lowered her head to look at her bright red male attire. Although she was wearing a shirt typical of the Central Plains men, her long hair was tied up with the hair ornaments of Central Plains women, clearly indicating that she was a girl.

His gaze swept over to the guest room where Wang Jun and He Zai were staying tonight, his handsome eyes reflecting an indescribable emotion

She smiled in a way that was neither fully a smile nor not a smile. "It seems that you are worlds apart from him. Ten years ago, you were at least a young hero, but now you are reduced to a mere slave that anyone can trample upon."

"Who exactly spread the rumor that he is an unparalleled handsome man?" Clearly, he is merely of above-average appearance, though his demeanor is indeed outstanding, carrying a hint of aloofness. His every gesture is elegant and noble, yet there is always a sense of detachment when he speaks to others. As for his looks...! Unless she is blind, all the rumors circulating in the world about his extraordinary charm and celestial beauty are nothing but utter nonsense

She was taken aback

I see, it was my misunderstanding. His tone became more gentle. Most of the disciples of the demonic sect are the disgraced individuals from the Central Plains, but there are also a small number of local unfortunate residents who, due to their difficult living conditions, willingly join the sect to become servants and maids

The Central Plains martial arts world... So this is how prosperous and sensational it is

Miss

He Ronghua lowered his eyes and remained silent

Young lady! What is the reason for your exclamation

He Ronghua gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger

"What is it, how many years have you been with me?" she asked thoughtfully

What can I say, I am not without consideration for you, but look at me, I am only a few years old this year, and I already have quite a few gray hairs. People, without that wisdom, insist on racking their brains, and they will end up like me. You should have some pity for me; I still wish to have a head full of black hair for a few more years

The young lady did not injure her internal organs, but she still needs to rest for several days. During these days, it is best not to exert herself.

"Can the idle clouds be guessed?" He Ronghua relied heavily on him

She glanced outside the hall again and asked Gu Shaode

Impressive, impressive... She is very cooperative. Has it been a bit too long since we last gazed upon her remains

I know. She felt weak all over and barely managed to turn herself over.

Wang Yun saw He Zai come to his side to guard him, and then said

Gongsun Yun, upon hearing this, glanced with his eyes over the unusual colors, and with an unchanging expression, said:

The tinkling sound of the bracelet on her wrist echoed with the chime of the bells on his ankle, creating a melodious harmony. However, these people from the Central Plains were oblivious to its value, each one glaring at them with a fierce and menacing demeanor

The庄内 servants immediately pushed open the main door, and the central door of the hall was also fully open, clearly a first-class arrangement to welcome distinguished guests

It turned out to be Tian Nu... Gongsun Yun murmured, her attention no longer focused on her, as she stepped forward to light incense and pay her respects

The girl was a bit timid. She then strode forward with determination.

The fine drizzle began to fall after she entered the mourning hall

... ... is, young lady. Why is it that you do not move at all

The young lady is intelligent

You are correct; my late father would not have concerned himself with your identities. If he were still in this world, he would certainly have personally welcomed you both. Attendant, go and make the necessary preparations, do not treat these two friends lightly

Such commands, he never disobeyed, and he silently approached her.

Speaking of beauty, she recalled...

Wang Yun said indifferently, "If the owner is not convenient, we will not insist, then we shall take our leave."

I am naturally timid and cannot bear these gazes, you go ahead

She considers herself not smart enough, lacking in presence, insufficiently talented in martial arts, and too timid, yet she happens to be born into the White Ming Sect, which is universally condemned.

As long as she does not fall into her own trap, becoming so bored as to infiltrate an enemy camp known as the Central Plains Martial Arts World

Are you a couple?" He Ronghua was somewhat flustered

She tilted her head, observing He Ronghua's back. It was evident at a glance that he was a young man from a prestigious family, with no hint of wickedness in his eyes. Although he was not as tall and robust as He Zai, his strides were quite imposing, exuding the demeanor of a family estate owner. However, there was one flaw.

"It is of no consequence," Wang Jun said with a slight smile, "the main gate and the side gate are both gates; it is merely a matter of convenience for the young master."

He did not look away and replied: "They are looking at you and me"

He Ronghua's face showed difficulty, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally sighed and said

She shook her head with a smile, "This is my first time coming to the Central Plains"

"We will discuss these matters tomorrow, young lady. You should rest early." The two had been together for ten years, almost inseparable, with Meng never leaving Jiao and Jiao never leaving Meng. In the first few years, it was not particularly noticeable, but in the past two years, it has become increasingly evident that there is indeed a distinction in strength between men and women. After she was poisoned, although she was treated immediately, the damage was significant, and she needed more rest.

There is indeed such a possibility. Among the young heroes of that year, seven or eight out of ten did not end up like me; either they were talented in their youth but failed to make further progress as they grew older. My dear, although you are well now, it is best not to exert yourself too much. Let me carry you back to bed.

As she was deep in thought, a young man from Tianhe Manor rushed out, glanced towards the entrance, and was momentarily taken aback. He quickly regained his composure and approached with a courteous gesture, clasping his fists in greeting.

She sighed

Brother Shaode, the Young Master Xianyun is about to arrive. If he perceives that Tianhe Manor lacks grandeur, it will be recorded in the future, and I will have no face to meet my late father

The young master is a carefree wanderer, while the young lady is merely a cloud floating on water. For some reason, when he uttered her name, she felt a bit uneasy and found it somewhat familiar

At Tianhe Manor, the day is spent in mourning. People from the rivers and lakes come and go, and as night falls, an extraordinary stillness envelops the surroundings, a stillness that carries a hint of chill. This chill is somewhat akin to Gongsun Yun's temperament, always keeping others at a distance of a thousand miles.

That is the Fifth Young Master, ranked fifth among the Young Masters of Numbers, and he is an assistant to the Idle Cloud Young Master in writing history

The shameless person, it is not her. She would not be so bored as to take such insults upon herself, so she turned her back. Unexpectedly, that person followed her like a shadow and circled back to face her.

You are saying that it is impossible! Even if he poisoned, it is likely that the two conspired together

She raised her eyebrows, looked at him, and said with profound meaning: "Otherwise, what would I ask you?"

She chuckled softly. "Why, do you know why I always say I am lucky to have lived until now?"

Gongsun Yun broke off a slender branch, seemingly toying with it. He asked:

Since it is not appropriate for a single man and a single woman to live together in the same room

He Ronghua expressed gratitude with a smile. "Thank you, Xianyun"

What a relief to gently stabilize her body, he said: "Fortunately, at that time, the fifth young master of the Yun family was present. He is well-versed in medicine and diagnosed that the young lady was poisoned. I had already administered a medicinal soup to her, and she needs to rest for a few more days to recover."

Gu Shaode was taken aback upon hearing this, covered his mouth and coughed, feeling a bit embarrassed as he said

Hmm?

She turned to look at the young man behind her and asked in a very friendly manner

"Impossible!" He Ronghua gritted his teeth and said, "In Tianhe Manor, there would never be such despicable individuals who resort to poisoning; such shameless behavior is certainly not the way of righteousness."

A young man, approximately twenty-five or twenty-six years old, is strong and robust, with strikingly handsome features that exude a wild charm. His honey-colored skin is complemented by long hair cascading over his shoulders, and he wears heavy makeup that matches her own alluring style, with glaring snake tattoos etched on his cheeks.

Gu Shaode's expression changed slightly, and he said: "At the very least, given their status, they should not enter through the main gate"

Suddenly, the room was plunged into darkness, and she said: "What now, shall we go to bed"

He Ronghua was taken aback, her eyes filled with disbelief

The corpse in the coffin is not that of the old estate owner

She closed her eyes, allowing He Zai to cover her with a thin blanket

The servant, dressed in mourning attire, rushed in upon seeing them and shouted loudly

He stared at her for a while before calmly saying

Gongsun Yun did not express his opinion. His pair of cold, handsome eyes remained fixed on her face.

He Ronghua let out a cold snort and said

It is truly very bad, so bad that she suspects He Ronghua has a congenital illness.

As far as the eye can see, there is a strange bed, a strange room, and the door is half ajar, allowing a glimpse of the night outside, where two silhouettes of men can be seen.

The young lady is exceptionally intelligent

Is that so

She turned a blind eye and said to He Zai, "We cannot keep troubling the young master here."

Just when he thought she had fallen asleep, he heard her say:

What is this person with the surname He really trembling his fingers for

I am Wang Xuan. Who is he? We happened to pass by this place and were suddenly informed of the passing of the esteemed elder He Laozhuang from the Central Plains. We have come to pay our respects.

The young lady is right. He is not angry either

Knowing that what she said was exaggerated, I still went along with her and said

Miss Wang! Gongsun Yun was the first to notice her complexion change dramatically; his gaze shifted suddenly, and he quickly reached out to support her as she was about to fall.

One is what, and the other is ...? ... That one with the hidden ailment, He Ronghua?

It is not right for me to let the young lady worry and toil

Sigh, knowing that there are tigers on the mountain, I still head towards the tiger's mountain. Why is that? You must ensure my survival, for I still wish to see the green mountains and flowing waters endure.

So it turns out to be the young hero Gu, I was just worried that I wouldn't have the chance to speak with you

She pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time, until the sound of the distant gong rang out, at which point she finally uttered a sound of acknowledgment

The young man’s facial muscles twitched in agreement

She thought for a moment, paused her steps, circled to his back, and said

Outside the door, someone is gasping

Gongsun Yun did not respond to him

I understand. He Ronghua is rarely composed. Even if Tianhe Manor is forced to revert to its original state and withdraw from the martial world, I must absolutely keep He Zai. The issue lies with Wang Lun; if she were to stop He Zai or go back to seek help from the Huangfu family... Xianyun, what do you think? Shouldn't we take the initiative? ... I noticed Gongsun Yun was staring at him coldly, and he stammered, "Otherwise, what do you think?" ... Xianyun, what do you think? Shouldn't we take the initiative? ... I noticed Gongsun Yun was staring at him coldly, and he stammered, "Otherwise, what do you think?"

That voice was warm and gentle like jade, with a hint of coolness, far more pleasant to the ears than He Zai. Such a voice paired with a handsome man would indeed be a delightful sight. She had always regarded beautiful people and beautiful things as venomous snakes and fierce beasts, yet she maintained a perspective of distant admiration. Thus, she turned her head to take a glance; apart from Gu Shaode, who had entered the hall, there was a young man in a flowing white robe.

Fifth brother, the poison from Miss Wang, it won't have any aftereffects, will it

She closed her eyes and waited for a while before hearing the sound of angry footsteps departing

"Please." He Ronghua was waiting behind the door, his tone soft.

Wang Yun noticed that their topic had strayed and was about to give He Zai a subtle hint to prepare to leave when suddenly, her vision blurred and a sharp pain gripped her abdomen.

He responded softly, saying:

"Enchantress!" someone muttered under their breath, but clearly cursing.

She slowly raised her head, a slight smile on her lips, and exclaimed in surprise

No, that is not what I meant... The voice was clearly weak, even carrying a hint of servility.

What a nod. "It is time to leave."

They look at us, because... are we the heavenly slaves?

"Heavenly Slave! It is the Heavenly Slave! Young Master, it is serious, the demonic cult's Heavenly Slave has arrived!"

"She is a celestial slave," Gu Shaode said softly

The young lady is exceptionally intelligent and has never fallen victim to the schemes of those with ulterior motives

Wang Yun?" He slowly repeated her name

"So it turns out to be the waves on the river, what a good name." After saying this, he casually asked, "May I ask under which master Miss Wang is employed?"

Gongsun Yun's voice, cold as the sound of jade striking against stone, he said without any mercy

She remained expressionless, turning a deaf ear, maintaining a smile, and ensuring her peace.

The Wang surname is common, and the name Yunnan is derived from the river; the name reflects the grace of the parents, but it may not necessarily be suitable for the children. She is a quintessential example of this.

After struggling for a long time, she finally had the strength to open one eye slightly

It is better to avoid suspicion in such matters. He Ronghua said softly, "I originally thought only one would come, but unexpectedly two arrived... Who could have poisoned? Only Wang Lun was poisoned, but at that time there were five or six cups; who would have anticipated that she would definitely pick the one with poison? If there was to be poisoning, it wouldn't fall upon an inconspicuous servant girl!"

This is the flawless jade, the idle cloud gentleman

"If I could figure it out, I would have ascended to immortality even earlier than Gongsun Yun," she said

Fortunately, up to now, her life has been quite uneventful... Occasionally, there have been some minor disturbances... No, she must admit, there have been a few major upheavals, but by sheer luck, she has managed to get through them unscathed. She thinks that at the age of twenty, given her talents, surviving until now is quite fortunate, and she should be able to maintain this good fortune going forward

After she sincerely worshipped with incense, she began to play with the jade flute she kept close to her, waiting for He Zai, who was paying respects to the remains, to come out

What is it, are they looking at you

Indeed, such talents are rare both in heaven and on earth. She echoed with regret. Individuals of such high integrity will soon depart for the Western world, Amitabha

What a surprise, Gu Shaode also drank it all in one go. After Gongsun Yun and the others finished drinking, they then spoke to He Ronghua saying

However, to speak of it, the Young Master of Idle Clouds possesses an outstanding temperament, noble character, and is as pure as a clear spring, a truly extraordinary talent. Yet, he happens to be born in the rough and tumble of the world, which is simply a diminishment of his lofty brilliance

"Is the girl asking me about the beauty of Gongsun Yun?" Is this on topic or off topic?

She no longer scrutinized, turning to take tea from the maid's tray to drink, for a good listener also needs to moisten their throat at the right moment

He Ronghua was taken aback, glanced at He Zai, and said softly: "Dear friends, this..."

She still hasn't opened her eyes

The young woman is poisoned and unconscious; it has been several hours, and now it is already night.

He carefully picked her up and returned to the bed

He is a universally recognized handsome man in the martial arts world, ethereal and transcendent, one could say he is the only flawless jade in the world. Regardless of age, the martial artists of the Central Plains have a kind of illusion that he is a celestial being descended from the Ninth Heaven, bringing a taste of heavenly leisure to this generation's martial arts world.

"Just right, someone has poisoned me, and I must rest for a few days. You can thoroughly investigate what exactly is going on at Tianhe Manor."

I have written a detailed account of the life and deeds of the old master overnight, and I will ask the young master to place it in the coffin later

Shameless

No

She looked at He Zai, and he remained silent, so she could only respond with a polite gesture

The two individuals walked for a while and arrived at a large estate currently in mourning, with the words "Tianhe Manor" inscribed above the entrance. White lanterns hung on either side of the main gate, and a continuous stream of people from the martial world came to pay their respects. At this moment, they all stopped in their tracks, staring at them in astonishment, and some martial artists instinctively grasped the hilt of their swords, their disdain evident.

I work under the Huangfu family, but it is merely doing some minor chores

He then said: "Someone has swapped the corpse of the old landlord, and that face has been altered."

"Young Master Shao, they are the Heavenly Slaves, bringing disgrace to the martial arts of the Central Plains. Allowing them to enter for worship will surely bring shame to the old master’s face," a person from the Jianghu stepped forward and spoke, revealing disdain in his words.

With a jingling sound, she realized that with every step she took, everyone was watching her as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

The Tian Nu finds it inconvenient to walk in the Central Plains, Miss Wang, you must be cautious. If any difficulties arise, it is essential to seek help from others to resolve them. Gongsun Yun always spoke with a hint of nonchalance.

One must value self-awareness in order to live to seventy or eighty; this has always been the principle of Wang Lun's existence

He first handed her one, then took another cup for himself

The old landlord is indeed highly respected, even Tian Nu has come to pay her respects. He looked at her and said with a bow: "I am Gongsun Yun."

For some reason, he always felt that the phrase "just right" carried a peculiar and profound significance

She glanced at him, suppressing her discomfort, and moved to sit at the edge of the table, blowing out the candle in one breath

He Ronghua furrowed her brows, and her complexion appeared somewhat pale.

He has long hair, a strong build reminiscent of a tiger's back and a bear's waist, capable of delivering a fatal punch at any moment. Now, upon closer inspection, He Zai is handsome, but unfortunately lacks the elegance he possessed ten years ago, which leaves her with a deep sense of regret when she dreams of him at midnight

He Ronghua looked bewildered, and finally said: "I only know that it is definitely not a leisurely cloud, nor is it me"

"The young lady can share a room with me; there is no need for the young master to send someone to take care of her." This was the voice of He Zai.

Bastard! She knows that the more delicious something is, the more likely it is to cause problems! A foul odor surged up her throat, and Wang Jun opened her mouth without restraint, spraying blood onto He Zai's face in a fit of rage

She answered quickly and smoothly, laughing as she spoke

Thus, she and He Zai bypassed the half-open main door and, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, entered the inconspicuous small side door. It is likely that to this day, only she and He Zai have passed through this unremarkable small side door.

Miss Wang, I have received your kind intentions, but it is not very convenient at the moment

They slept in the same room! He Ronghua said with hatred, his fists clenched tightly. The night was cool as water, yet he was filled with rage.

He approached the bedside, meeting her weak gaze

If you wish to keep her, then do not disturb her. Gongsun Yun said no more.

This is certainly the case. She savored the tea; the tea from the Central Plains is truly excellent, and if given the opportunity, I must pack some to take away

The young master is currently going to see the late master’s remains with a servant, and will be out shortly

Gu Shaode was taken aback, swallowing back the insult that was on the tip of his tongue

"Of course, my lady," he added without turning his head, "the lady can simply wish for a long life."

Outside the door, the man's astonished cry stirred her unconscious mind

"Pope Bai Ming, the family of the Huangfu..." Gongsun Yun slowly circled around her. When he reached behind her, his gaze fell directly on her tied-up black hair. He lowered his eyes, making it difficult to discern his expression. "Indeed, a strong general has no weak soldiers. Miss Wang dares to return to the Central Plains with her companions; her courage is truly admirable to Xianyun."

He Ronghua suddenly raised her eyes, gazing at him intensely

"Why should the young master be polite to them? They are the slaves of the heavens!"
