lying-down sleeping position. She even thoughtfully covered him with his suit jacket, creating the illusion that he was exhausted and resting in the study after work. She also left her signature mark...Liàn Yī is currently riding a white horse, slowly following Wáng Zhēn Zhēn toward the Wang family estate in Longxi.
Five days ago, Lianyi decided to go down the mountain for training and to retrieve the treasure left by her biological mother. She planned to bring it back to Suxing Palace. After all, Suxing Palace had raised her and spared no effort in treating her heart condition.
Now, because of Princess Xiangyi who is like a mad dog, I have to hide the mountain gate and can't even openly accept disciples. It's truly frustrating.
Before setting out, Lianyi had a deep conversation with the Sovereign of Suguang, explaining her plans.
Since these things were left to me by my mother, I have the right to dispose of them. Auntie Zhen also supports my decision. Since the Su Nü Palace raised me, I also want to repay it in kind.
Over the past few years, the disciples of Su Nu Gong have lived a rather stifled life. I want to allow everyone to live more comfortably and walk the rivers and lakes without being looked down upon.
This time, I went down the mountain with Aunt Zhen to hone our skills and travel the world. We're also looking for some promising talents to replenish the Xv Nü Palace with fresh blood.
"If you insist on leaving the mountain, I won't stop you. However, the martial world isn't as idyllic as you imagine. There are honorable and righteous warriors, but also vicious and despicable villains. And with your exceptional beauty, you will undoubtedly attract envy. Be cautious and wary of everyone. Never underestimate the ugliness of human nature."
Sumin spoke earnestly.
She's almost ninety years old, having lived through so many changes. There's not much she regrets, except for worrying about her unfortunate apprentice. Originally, she wanted to pass on half of her internal energy to Lianyi to help her break through the last level of the Xu Nü Xuan Gong. However, Lianyi refused to accept it.
"Master passed his internal energy to me, what will you do How will the other senior brothers and sisters view my apprentice You are our Sushu Palace's guiding star, with you we can see the direction forward."
Besides, my disciple's body is now completely healed. This internal energy is naturally cultivated by himself, the most stable. No one else can take it away. Master should have confidence in his disciple.
The ripples were sweet as honey, coaxing Susu's heart. Only then did he bid farewell to his senior sisters and brothers, leaving the mountain gate of Sùnyǚ Palace.
When they reached the town at the foot of the mountain, Lian'i discovered the guards who had remained behind. Eight years had passed, yet these individuals hadn't given up. Her eyes flickered, and she swiftly drew her white horse, following closely behind Aunt Zhen as they left the town.
Aunt, these people haven't given up yet!
“Well, after Xiangyi's injuries healed, she started causing trouble again. But she kept inquiring about the Su Nü Palace, visiting every martial artist who had dealings with her master. She either abducted people's disciples or schemed against their sons, angering many in the martial world.”
Wang Zhenzhen has always been paying attention to Xiangyi. After all, this woman is the enemy of her sister.
"Has the scar on her face healed too"
Ripples smiled and asked.
Xiang Yi's face was injured by Lei Yaojian. Her natal sword carried the attribute of thunder and was extremely fierce. Although it lacked spiritual support, it was not so easy to heal.
She probably isn't cured, otherwise she wouldn't be wearing a veil.
What actions will the Emperor take
He sent someone else to watch the mountain gate and took no further action.
He wants to reap the benefits without lifting a finger.
The ripples clearly understood the emperor's approach, it was nothing but a balancing act.
"Auntie, the emperor values our martial prowess most."
"Well, Master mentioned this too. During the year you cultivated your body, we already knew."
"Master definitely wouldn't want us to become the court's lapdogs."
"Yes, Master said that the ancestor who founded Su Nü Palace only wanted women to be able to learn martial arts so they could stand firm in this world, not have to rely on men to survive, and have the ability to fight back when they were wronged."
Wang Zhenzhen sighed with emotion.
"I know that. I've read all the books and biographies about the Su Nu Palace. The Su Nu Profound Technique is an internal mental method that can be used in playing the qin, dancing, calligraphy, and swordsmanship. Although I practiced diligently, I have only mastered swordsmanship."
"To achieve mastery, is a result that surpasses your natural talent."
Wang Zhenzhen sincerely praised.
"Aunt Zhen, tell me about Grandma and Grandpa, and that nephew who inherited the family business!"
The ripples will decide to gather some intel first.
“Your grandmother would be overjoyed to see you. She was the one who agreed to your mother marrying Xu Fengze back then. Only after your mother's death did she become consumed with regret over her decision, almost following your aunt to join her in the afterlife. It was I who secretly told her that you were still alive, which allowed her to pull through.”
Wang Zhenzhen's eyes were far-reaching, softly speaking about the affairs of the Wu family.
"If Aunt Zhen had told me her identity sooner, I could have written to my grandmother to comfort her."
“It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t. When I was sent to the Sūnvén Palace, it was because something happened at home. My mother sent me there to protect my sisters. After my facial injury healed, I devoted myself to martial arts and didn't want to return to the Wang family. I didn't want to be a pawn in a family marriage.”
"And your mother fell in love with Xu Fengze, who was also a lifesaver for my sisters. With this connection, and some messy things happening at home, she agreed to your mother's marriage."
"Did Aunt Zhen come to the Su Nu Palace because of Grandmother's arrangement"
"Yes, I came to the Sutu Nu Palace initially for treatment of the scars on my face."
Wang Zhenzhen raised her hand to touch her smooth cheek, roughly telling her sisters about what had happened between them and Xu Fengze.
Ripple had not personally experienced it, but as her eyes rolled, she spoke:
“Auntie Zhen and my mother had this experience, they should have been targeted by someone. The fact that Auntie Zhen's maidservant could be replaced means there must be someone inside the household helping out. As for the woman pretending to be a maidservant, in your current position, do you think she is more likely to be from the martial world or the imperial court”
"You're so clever, I only figured this out while recovering at the Su Nü Palace. The only one in the inner house capable of such a thing is Aunt Ling. For her son, she would certainly be willing to give it a try. As long as we two sisters are dealt with, all of the Wang family's property will belong to her son."
As for the woman who made the move, she should be a hired hand raised by an official family. She must have disliked the Wang family and wanted to sabotage them because they couldn't get what they wanted. This is the consistent method of those people, they just used Aunt Ling's hand.
For the sake of the imperial merchant's reputation.
Ripples lightly kicked the horse's belly and said an affirmative sentence.
Still, ripples are clever, one thing leads to another.
Our Wang family was the richest in Longxi. It's not an exaggeration to say we were as rich as a country. My mother and I each received one-third of the Wang family fortune at the time. You tell me, how much would that be
So I think the mother's murder wasn't necessarily entirely because Xiangyi had unresolved feelings for Xu Fengze. This is just an excuse, the real motive should be the Wang family's wealth.
It's just that Auntie Zhen retreated to the Palace of Pure Maidenhood, and your mother died. Two-thirds of the family fortune vanished into thin air. It's certain that those who had long considered these riches theirs would be in a hurry now.
This news about the Treasure appearing in the world is also being spread strangely, I guess it’s just to lure Aunt Zhen out!east under control, Lian Yi arrived at the magic circle and dismounted her silver armored horse. She looked at the strong rhinoceros beast, which was about as tall as a person, and intuitively felt t...
