Chen Ping's Sword

The woman did not turn her head, as if she hadn’t seen Feng Jiu at all. She let out a cold snort and proceeded straight ahead into the Prince’s Mansion.

"Extreme Yin Sect, Gu Qingshuang..."

Feng Jiu stood in place, that name flashing through her mind.

She knew that ever since this woman had entered the Jinghai Army, their Prince had become increasingly different.

It’s unclear if the Prince was enchanted by this person or if the two had a more intricate collaboration.

However, thinking of the returning Heir of Jinghai, Ji Xuanheh, Feng Jiu dared not think further.

Some matters have been around for a long time; a three-foot-thick layer of ice does not form overnight.

Perhaps, she never truly understood the Prince.

Everything might just be a figment of her imagination.

...

"Prince, Mingyue still seems to have a bit of a temper and doesn’t care for me as her mother at all. I heard she even flipped over the meal that was just sent to her."

Gu Qingshuang entered the Prince’s Mansion, her body as soft as a snake, snuggling into Ji Changlie’s embrace.

She softly recounted some matters.

Behind her, several women trembled all over, wanting to flee but not daring to.

They just stood silently, waiting.

"Heh, the little girl always has some temperament. I have heard of the name of the Fourth Prince of Beizhou, Yuwen Hao. It’s said that this person could tear apart tigers and leopards at eight, entered Innate at thirteen, and at eighteen, could easily slay three Golden Knights. Now at twenty-eight, who knows how strong he has become, truly a rare son-in-law.

Even if the Hu People retreat, Yuwen Hao would not treat Little Mingyue poorly. As her father, I won’t harm her. Let the child figure it out on her own for now; things will improve with time."

"What about Chen Ping?"

Worry flashed across Gu Qingshuang’s face.

That time, Chen Ping’s thousand-mile journey to send Mingyue had spread widely.

Those of us who experienced it firsthand know well that Little Commandery Princess Mingyue’s heart had long been tied to that Chen boy.

If that boy hadn’t achieved anything, it would be one thing, but he not only seized Xingqing Prefecture but also conquered Qingjiang Prefecture, subdued the Cui Family, and secured a prefecture and eight counties, with ample money, troops, and strong armor, swiftly becoming a formidable power.

Such a person cannot be underestimated.

If he learns of Little Mingyue’s situation, wouldn’t he be furious and raise troops in wrath?

The good you see may not be seen as good by others.

"Don’t mention him anymore."

Ji Changlie let out a muffled snort, his right hand slamming heavily onto the armrest. "That kid is arrogant with the heart of a wolf. Why didn’t I see earlier that he was inherently rebellious?

Even though Xuan Ge turned out wrong, he was still of the Ji family bloodline, my son, Ji Changlie. Yet he directly killed him. The Cui Family is also worthless; they couldn’t protect Xuan Ge or Yuyin. So many of their clan died, and in the end, they eagerly assisted the Chen Thieves. It truly infuriates me."

After venting his anger, Ji Changlie’s eyes flashed with a fierce light as he pondered, looking Southwest in confusion.

"What exactly is that old man Cui Huchen planning? I’ve invited him several times to come out and help, but he ignored it, ambitious and even flirted with Beizhou. And what happened? He was beaten a few times by the Chen Thieves and became obedient. I hear recently he’s brought out the Cui family’s savings just to choose a master for the Azure Dragon Seal? I’ve never heard of him being so superstitious."

"Calm down, Prince. Cui Huchen and the others underestimate us, which is actually good. Let them stand in front, fight Beizhou to the death.

We’ll open the way South and secretly make alliances with Beizhou, so neither side will bother with us. As long as the Hu Cavalry heads South, fights to the death with Xingqing Prefecture and the Vice Capital True Martial King, by that time..."

Gu Qingshuang noticed Ji Changlie’s lingering anger and smiled charmingly again. "Xuan Ge’s death is indeed heartbreaking, but we have Xuanheh. Xuanheh, as the Saint Heir within the sect, can gain the full support of the Extreme Yin Sect. Prince’s great cause will be realized, and there are successors, there’s no need to dwell on the past anymore. In the future, we can take revenge when the timing is right."

"I regret not seeing the true nature of the Chen Thieves early on and failing to act swiftly, leaving a disaster behind." Ji Changlie took a few heavy breaths, his anger slightly dissipating, and finally looked at the three women behind Gu Qingshuang.

Seeing that each woman had peach-like cheeks and willowy eyebrows, with delicate figures, a hint of joy appeared on his face. He then felt the Qi Mechanism and looked at Gu Qingshuang with a slightly darkened expression.

"Why is there only one Innate among them? The other two haven’t even completely connected the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. Is the Extreme Yin Sect just going through the motions?"

"Please don’t be angry, Prince. Currently, during wartime, it’s a bit hard to find top-notch Tripod Furnaces. But everything takes time. As of now, the three envoys of my sect have been searching everywhere... It’s hard to catch the famous heroines of the Jianghu for now, but there are plenty of fresh young girls who are venturing out for the first time and acting chivalrously. After all, Prince’s newly acquired Great Joyful Zen Skill only considers constitution and Yin Essence, not the importance of the Cultivation Realm, so it should suffice.

If Prince is really worried about insufficient cultivation power, how about I let you take from me too, I should at least satisfy you."

"Enough, make do with them. Take them inside. Shuang’er, you don’t have to. If you damage your cultivation, some things will be inconvenient to handle. I still need you to manage many affairs."

Ji Changlie shook his head.

He led the young women into the inner hall.

Who knows what methods these people had endured, clearly trembling with fear, yet they behaved like meek sheep, not daring to resist at all.
