Inheriting the old site and selecting famous craftsmen, the court was once again willing to spend money, so the Old Mountain detached residence was naturally built quite grandly.

But when a woman like Ye Lan’er walked in, the word that came to mind was “making a humble dwelling brilliant.”

People from Chu like splendid clothes, and Ye Lan’er’s attire was extremely exquisite. However, all the gold threads and jade patterns merely served as embellishments to her appearance.

Even Du Gu Xiao, though a woman, felt a moment of dizziness upon seeing this face. She truly couldn’t believe that people could grow into this appearance.

This was the only face that made her feel it could match her family’s Marquis. Everyone said the Li family women were famously beautiful in Linzi, but she had always stayed in Qingyang Town and never had the chance to see them. Still, she thought no matter how they looked, it was impossible for them to be better than this. Such flawless features, wasn’t this the limit of “beauty”?

This top beauty of Great Chu, even her voice was perfect, each sentence a piece of music.

Built in Qingyang Town, the Zheng Sheng Hall, Du Gu Xiao had visited many times. The wonder of pure sound was no more than this.

“Your family’s Marquis mansion is so large, with several detached residences in different locations, but there are actually few female masters to manage them?”

As the voice entered her ears, Du Gu Xiao snapped back to attention and said seriously, “My family’s Marquis is pure and virtuous, and is obsessed with cultivation. He has never invited any woman into the house.”

Ye Lan’er’s beautiful eyes turned, “But I heard he fully enjoys the Linzi wind and moon. I don’t know how many noble women from Qi country seek a glimpse of him but cannot.”

Du Gu Xiao laughed, “You also said, ‘seek but cannot.'”

“When I first saw you, I felt a strong connection,” Ye Lan’er casually took Du Gu Xiao’s hand. A jade pendant radiating spiritual energy had already been placed in Du Gu Xiao’s palm. “This is an inexpensive small item. Just take it. It will be of some benefit to your current cultivation and can save you three to five years of hard work.”

The quality of this jade pendant didn’t need Ye Lan’er’s introduction. The warm, smooth feeling transmitted from her palm, the lively fluctuation of Dao Yuan… it was absolutely a rare treasure Du Gu Xiao had never encountered before.

The Marquis treated her well, but the Marquis himself was also tight on funds… all day he was either taking advantage of Yan Fu Gongzi or digging into Zhong Xuan Gongzi’s money bag. It was impossible for him to give her such a treasure.

Du Gu Xiao couldn’t avoid the Shen Lin cultivator’s hand, but her hand returning the gift was very firm, “Du Gu Xiao eats the Jiang family’s salary and receives no other families’ grain. Miss Ye, please don’t make it difficult for me.”

Ye Lan’er didn’t insist. She took back the jade pendant and still said in a gentle voice, “How long have you followed your master?”

Du Gu Xiao’s eyes overflowed with pride, “Counting on my fingers, it has already been four years.”

“Then you are his most trusted confidante, no wonder this Old Mountain detached residence is all given to you to manage…” If Ye Lan’er wanted to get along well with someone, she could always adjust to the most suitable state. At this moment, she was full of smiles and very friendly, “What kind of women does your master like?”

“Her master likes to speak directly!” Jiang Wang’s voice came from outside the room.

Ye Lan’er, who was swaying gracefully in the reception room, lightly turned her head. Her beautiful, swan-like neck was fully displayed, and the corner of her mouth held the most perfect smile, “Is my question not direct enough?”

Jiang Wang waved his hand, signaling Du Gu Xiao to withdraw. He stepped forward and sat down opposite Ye Lan’er, getting straight to the point, “Miss Ye, I acknowledge the favor owed to Yang Chong Zu. Presumably, you came to Old Mountain not for idle chat. Both of our time is very precious, so let’s discuss the debt.”

Du Gu Xiao, who had already walked out of the reception room, heard these clear boundary words and felt boundless admiration in her heart. Ye Lan’er’s beauty made even her feel pity. It had to be her own family’s Marquis, completely unmoved by beauty, truly aiming for a figure thousands of miles away!

Ye Lan’er smiled, “After Huang Liang Tai separated two years ago, Jiang Gongzi’s reputation spread frequently. Breaking the Xia seal of Marquis, defeating demons and returning with honor were all major events that shook the past and dazzled the present. But they were all just stories… Only today, seeing Gongzi in person, do I truly feel that the boy next door has already grown up. And compared to what concubine imagined, he has grown even more.”

Jiang Wang didn’t understand, “What do these words mean?”

Ye Lan’er looked at him, her beautiful eyes misty, “You won’t even look out the window now.”

Jiang Wang:

Wu An Marquis is a magnanimous person.

He wasn’t ugly, so he was forced to jump out the window to escape. This time, his Shen Lin achievement and cultivation had greatly improved, but he didn’t think of drawing his sword to return and ask this Marquis “how handsome” he was.

Instead, he unnaturally turned the topic back, “Speaking of two years ago in Chu country, Miss Ye seemed to have something to discuss with me. Only at that time, we were both too busy and met and parted in haste, without saying anything in detail. May I ask Miss Ye… is today’s matter related to the matter of the previous day?”

Ye Lan’er sat up straight, her posture beautiful. She lightly sipped the tea that Du Gu Xiao had brought earlier. Her voice came from her moist red lips, with a soft, sticky quality, “You speak clearly. Was it you who was too busy, or was it me?”

Jiang Wang didn’t follow up, “Since it’s the matter of the previous day, Miss Ye already helped me kill Zhang Lin Chuan’s substitute life body. A few days ago when I was in Chu country, Miss Ye didn’t come to find me… is this matter related to Miss Ye’s operations in Chu country?”

Ye Lan’er looked over with some surprise, then laughed again, “You are such a person! You say you owe a debt of favor, but why do you only discuss the debt and not the favor, being so distant!”

“Jiang is not being distant, just doesn’t want to waste Miss Ye’s time,” Jiang Wang glanced at the sky outside and said, “It’s noon and a quarter. I need to practice my pupils.”

Ye Lan’er restrained her smile, “I see your eyesight is not very good either, unable to see true intentions and true hearts.”

Jiang Wang said, “After practicing my pupils, I still need to practice my sword. If Miss Ye hasn’t thought it through, you can come back in a few days to find me. But it’s best not to exceed the twentieth of this month, because Jiang is going on an expedition soon, and I don’t know when I’ll return.”

Ye Lan’er raised her willow eyebrows, “From now on, the one who owes the debt is the master. The ancients truly didn’t deceive me!”

“Because Jiang’s eyesight is not very good, practicing pupils cannot be delayed,” Jiang Wang picked up the teacup, “There’s still another quarter of an hour.”

Ye Lan’er immediately calmed her anger and calmly put forward her request, “Three Points Fragrance Building wants to make an effort in Linzi and obtain a status equivalent to the four great famous halls, so it also needs to obtain official support commensurate with the influence of the four great famous halls.”

Jiang Wang was surprised for a moment, but quickly covered it up, “You represent Three Points Fragrance Building?”

At this moment, Ye Lan’er was like a jade statue, stern and inviolable, “Let’s re-recognize each other. Heaven Fragrance First, Ye Lan’er.”

The involvement of Three Points Fragrance Building with the Chu Court was deeper than imagined. Ye Lan’er, as Heaven Fragrance First, could actually represent Chu country to fight in the unlimited field of the Yellow River Meeting!

What exactly was that Great Chu Emperor thinking?

Jiang Wang didn’t think too long. He put down the teacup and said, “Before Three Points Fragrance Building formally joins the four great famous halls, it will not receive obstruction from official power.”

On the contrary, Ye Lan’er showed surprise, “You agree so simply?”

One must know that the four great famous halls in Linzi all had significant backing. Linzi was a strong city three hundred li away from Ba country, the capital of Great Qi. How lively was the wind and moon here! Not to mention others, that Wen Yu Water Pavilion alone was the industry of Jiang Wu Xie, the master of Yang Xin Palace. And Wen Yu Water Pavilion was not outstanding among the four great famous halls. The depth of the water here could be imagined.

Three Points Fragrance Building’s request for official support commensurate with the four great famous halls was absolutely not a simple condition, but Jiang Wang agreed so simply!

Ye Lan’er couldn’t help but re-examine the status of this Wu An Marquis in Qi country today.

Jiang Wang looked seriously at this Heaven Fragrance First, “Zhang Lin Chuan’s substitute life body is not so easy to kill. It’s worth this price.”

Ye Lan’er said, “You don’t want to ask why Three Points Fragrance Building wants to make an effort in Linzi, you don’t want to ask what problems Three Points Fragrance Building has encountered in Chu country, you don’t want to ask what Three Points Fragrance Building exactly wants to do?”

Jiang Wang said, “That’s your Three Points Fragrance Building’s own business.”

“It can also be related to you,” Ye Lan’er said in a tone of an excellent partner, “Three Points Fragrance Building’s industry in Qi country is willing to give Jiang Gongzi thirty percent of the dry shares, as a condition for accepting Jiang Gongzi’s long-term protection.”

Jiang Wang said in a light voice, “The condition you have already stated, and I have also agreed. As for the term, I have also made it very clear, before you join the four great famous halls.”

Ye Lan’er said, “Concubine always believes that interests are a long-term plan.”

“This Marquis’s promise is also,” Jiang Wang stood up, “The time to practice pupils has arrived, so let’s end here today?”

Ye Lan’er’s tone was sincere, “This thirty percent dry shares is purely given to you, without any conditions attached. To be honest, killing one Yang Chong Zu didn’t require much effort from me… I feel uneasy asking you for such a big favor.”

“Something that is very difficult for me may be very simple for you, but I cannot just view it simply. Conversely, the same applies,” Jiang Wang said, “Dry shares are not needed then. Didn’er Miss Ye say, besides the debt, there is also a favor? Then let’s count it as me returning the favor. The time for cultivating skills has arrived, please excuse me.”

Saying that, he then lifted his foot and walked out of the reception room. His figure flickered and disappeared. Only that lingering voice, which was not warm from beginning to end, still remained in his ears— “Xiao Xiao, see the guest out!”

Ye Lan’er, on the contrary, did not show any unpleasant expression, just lightly sipped the tea in her cup and said, “He is truly a heartless young master!”

Horizontal handle, vertical edge, one side with flowers before the moon, one side with the moon on a willow tip. The patterns on both sides were natural, only the sword edge was thin as a line, named ‘Heartless Young Master’.

This sword would not easily show its appearance, because it always escaped outside the line of sight.

In the present world, it had almost forever escaped people’s vision. In the Taixu Illusion, it basically did not give people a chance to see it.

This time, Heartless Young Master encountered an opponent with a rather strange name, called ‘Dou Xiao Er’.

Born with eyes like fighting chickens, a garlic head nose, wrapped in mud and sky, a pockmarked face, and a scabby head, how ugly it was!

Seeking such an ugly face in the present world was already rare, and in the Taixu Illusion, it almost did not exist.

Because appearances could be decorated here.

Even a woman like Ning Shuang Rong, who intentionally concealed her true beauty, would at most let herself appear ordinary in the Taixu Illusion, not to the point of offending herself with ugliness.

The current master of Heartless Young Master made himself handsome to a degree rarely seen in the world.

While this ‘Dou Xiao Er’ seemed to have a special love for the word ‘ugly’. Every detail on his face was deepened towards the ugly, developed towards the even more ugly.

As soon as they clashed on the Sword Discussion Platform, he immediately started shouting, “Hey, you little pretty boy, hurry up and accept death, don’t waste grandpa’s time! Grandpa still has to rush to the next match!”

His voice was also an unpleasant duck voice!

It had been a long time since he had returned to the Taixu Illusion!

Re-entering this place that first showed him the vastness of the world, Jiang Wang felt more familiarity than strangeness in his heart.

Once again opening the Blessed Land challenge, while gaining the qualification to challenge the Blessed Land, he also encountered far more competitors than in the past. It seemed that during the period he was trapped in the demon world, the Taixu Illusion’s development speed had not slowed down.

This world would not stop operating because of the disappearance of some person.

Sui Ren died, You Xiong rose; You Xiong perished, Lie Shan rose; Lie Shan was gone, the hundred schools contended! No matter how splendid a figure, they were all swept away by the flood of history.

Jiang Wang never thought he was the center of the world, but at least he was the strongest Teng Long in Taixu, the strongest Inner Mansion. He had fought his way out of many honors in the Taixu Illusion. When had the name “Du Gu Invincible” been so looked down upon, except for that earliest period?

The name Du Gu Invincible was destined not to be verbose. With just a slight movement of his ear, the angry sound shouted by that ‘Dou Xiao Er’ transformed into sound pattern weapons of knives, guns, swords, and halberds, surrounding and madly attacking ‘Dou Xiao Er’ himself.

Such an unpleasant voice should be counterattacked by its master.

‘Dou Xiao Er’ indeed had some skill. Holding a broken knife with a unique style, with a casual shake of the knife edge, he had already chopped open all the approaching sound pattern weapons.

His foot stepped on the ground, cracking like a thousand armies rushing in array. One horizontal slash of his knife turned ten thousand laws into nothingness.

What a fierce knife technique!

Jiang Wang also didn’t hold back and immediately enabled his prepared fighting system for the Taixu Illusion.

His ear showed a jade color, with an immortal sitting in it!

Without Zhi Wen Zhong, he couldn’t temporarily copy the long sound hearing immortal domain that could even contend with true demons for a while, ‘Listen to eight directions, all heard exhaust known’.

In the meantime, his master’s fire domain became even more skilled and powerful!

Such a spiritual domain clashed with the unnamed spiritual domain of ‘Dou Xiao Er’, instantly like a furnace exploding, sparks flying.

And Heartless Young Master had already unsheathed— the sword edge was even outside of his vision, yet it covered all thirty-six vital points of ‘Dou Xiao Er’!

‘Dou Xiao Er’ used a broken knife to the point of soaring killing intent, like a dragon circling his body, yet he felt his entire body was not smooth, every move restrained by others.

Every knife move was broken as soon as it started, and the knife handle sank as soon as the blade came out. Truly damn evil!

He was also a famous favored son of heaven, a regular on the battlefield. Although he was a newcomer in the Taixu Illusion, he had experienced countless life-and-death situations. Of course, he knew that he was already suppressed in this fight. If he didn’t quickly change the situation, he would soon be pushed into an irreversible abyss!

For a moment, he didn’t care about hiding his identity. He changed to holding the broken knife with both hands, his angry hair spread out. Instantly, his qi and blood were like a flood, like an ancient wild beast waking up. The terrifying momentum covered the entire Sword Discussion Platform, even extending to the star river!

His duck voice also became domineering and fierce, “You dare call yourself invincible? Now you dare to be crazy again in front of grandpa? Didn’t you boy claim to be invincible?!”

He wanted to liberate himself, he wanted to explode with full force, he wanted— one roar did not stop, one momentum did not stop.

He just felt that his sea of consciousness had been savagely crashed open.

Just like that attacking city hammer that breaks countries and destroys arrays, it was forcefully pulled over and crashed through his own door.

Then, countless, dense crystal thoughts, like a mountain collapsing and a flood surging, filled his Yuan God sea, bombarded his God Containing Hall, and submerged his divine soul! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

His brain was blank for an instant, then there was an seemingly endless boom.

Amidst the pain of his spirit knowledge being rawly torn, he still had to clearly hear… that hateful guy’s voice.

“My invincibility does not need to be said aloud!” Immortal technique · Thought · Flood!

This was a rather rough and extremely violent use of immortal technique, purely relying on the strength of immortal thought to carry out a naked crush on the enemy, injuring oneself to injure the enemy. As soon as this technique was used, whether the enemy died or not, one was almost gone.

Except in the state beside the immortal jade bead, only in the Taixu Illusion could one be so wantonly swinging.

Jiang Wang had already completely recognized his old acquaintance. Why was that broken knife’s style unique, why was it familiar? Wasn’t it the appearance after Tian Xiao broke?

So he also enthusiastically gave a welcoming gift, pouring all of these methods, which were destined not to belong to regular means, onto his body.

In an extremely embarrassed state, the newcomer named ‘Dou Xiao Er’ did not hide his pain at all

“Grandpa remembers you, wait for grandpa next month, grandpa, Dou Zhao of Great Chu, will definitely come back!”
