You were allowed to marry into No. 76 family, and you were promoted to director?

Chapter 321 Finally meet

At No. 15, Lane 3, Sixth Lane, South of Shanghai, Zhao Xuan parked his car far away and arrived at the Ghost Group's residence with Dao Ya.

"Team leader, you've finally deigned to come see us."

Chen Manli, who has a lively and outgoing personality, smiled and teased Zhao Xuan.

Liu Manping glared at Chen Manli before looking at Zhao Xuan seriously:

"Team leader, is there any task we need to complete?"

Zhao Xuan sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, invited Liu Manping and the others to sit down as well, and then glanced at Dao Ya and said:
"It's a special mission, you'll find out soon enough."

After speaking, Zhao Xuan looked at Song Yuanyuan:

"Judge (Song Yuanyuan), how are the stock market returns?"

Even Song Yuanyuan had to admire Zhao Xuan's investment acumen; the money he got from Citibank and invested in the stock market had already tripled in value.

If things continue at the current pace, by the time Zhao Xuan says to sell, we could expect a return of about ten times our initial investment.

"With prices soaring all the way up, it was sure to be a huge profit, so I invested some money and made a little pocket money."

Dao Ya smiled, pursing her lips. She also received dividends, and she owned an underground pharmaceutical factory and a newly started cyanuric chloride refinery. So, Dao Ya no longer had any concept of money. It was just a bunch of numbers. I, Dao Ya, am not interested in money now!
“Very good, we’ll sell them all when the time comes. Xiaoya, you should go and catch up with your masters. I have some things to discuss with Yanluo (Liu Manping).

Dao Ya looked at Zhao Xuan suspiciously. She didn't want to leave, but Song Yuanyuan, Chen Manli, and He Wanjun all grabbed her and pulled her away, so Dao Ya had no choice but to follow.

She knew that her brother-in-law must have an important mission to come with her today, but it was clear that he didn't want to include her in it.

Zhao Xuan: Little girl, you're overthinking it. I'm just worried that if you hear what I'm saying to Liu Manping, you'll run away in fear.
After they left the courtyard, Zhao Xuan looked at Liu Manping, who was sitting upright, with a serious expression and said:

"Yanluo, I need to meet with Fengweilan at four o'clock this afternoon. She should also know about your existence."

We can't keep it from Dao Yan. At least, letting her know that Liu Manping, Chen Manli, and He Wanjun are not dead will calm Dao Yan's anger a little.

Upon hearing Zhao Xuan's words, Liu Manping's eyes widened in surprise:
"Team leader, have you thought this through?"

Zhao Xuan nodded slightly:

"The situation in Shanghai is only heading in a more and more chaotic direction."

"Mao Sanlin has been transferred to Shanghai to serve as deputy station chief. I don't trust this person."

“If I don’t confront Yulan, she won’t consult me ​​on many things afterward. Although I have my own channels, even tigers can be sluggish sometimes, and I’m just afraid of what might happen.”

"After what happened to Tiger Girl, I don't want to experience another life-or-death separation."

Liu Manping slowly exhaled, a relieved smile appearing on her face:
"Personally, I really wanted to see Xiaodao one last time. She must have been heartbroken to see us die, right?"

"Yeah, Xiaoya and I were knocked to the ground by her in a fit of rage. By the way, weren't you two graduates in the same year? How did she train in combat?"

Liu Manping shrugged:

“That’s talent. Among the trainees, we lived in the same dormitory, and I can guarantee that the training content was the same, but the results of the training... I feel that what we learned and what Xiaodao learned were completely different.”

"The same fighting techniques, when they came to Xiao Dao, became completely incomprehensible to us. In fact, even the instructor couldn't last three moves against Xiao Dao."

Zhao Xuan gasped, wondering if his decision had been too hasty.

However, the thought that Liu Manping and the other three were all here gave Zhao Xuan some confidence.

"Okay, after Ayan arrives, you should see her first. Most importantly, you absolutely cannot let Xiaoya sense that something is wrong beforehand, or I'll be in big trouble."

Liu Manping looked at Zhao Xuan with disdain. Now she finally understood why Zhao Xuan had brought Dao Ya along.

This is to give Dao Yan a scapegoat.

Seeing Liu Manping's disdainful look, Zhao Xuan smiled nonchalantly:
"What kind of look is that? They're sisters, Ayan definitely wouldn't hurt them badly. But it's different for me. My injuries haven't fully healed yet. If Ayan hits me again, I'll probably have to stay in the hospital for ten days or half a month."

Liu Manping chuckled:
"Team leader, you don't need to explain. I didn't say anything."

Zhao Xuan's lips twitched slightly: "The way you're looking at me is less helpful than saying something!"

"In short, we absolutely cannot let Xiaoya get away before Ayan sees me. That's an order!"

Liu Manping was speechless. She had always thought that the team leader was upright and honest, but she never expected him to be so shameless.

"Okay, but team leader, you're really something. You even tricked your sister-in-law, and Xiaoya is our student. You did it in front of Teacher Xiaoya. Team leader, you really didn't hide anything at all."

No. 15, Lane 3, Sixth Alley, Shanghai, 3:50 PM.

As we left the International Cemetery, a light drizzle began to fall.

Dao Yan held an umbrella, wearing a beige trench coat, her hair fluttering in the breeze that swept through the rain.

The tall military boots trotted lightly on the wet ground, making no sound at all.

Dao Yan walked into the alley. In the quiet alley, Dao Yan looked up at the sky covered by dark clouds, her delicate face revealing a hint of curiosity and hesitation about the unknown.

Taking another step, Dao Yan followed the alleyway all the way to the front of No. 35.

After standing at the door, Dao Yan did not rush to knock. He first took a few breaths, and a look of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

dong dong~
The knocking on the door was like Dao Yan's heartbeat at that moment. She wondered what the tiger cub would look like when the door opened.
creak!

With a soft sound, the door was pulled open. Through the increasingly larger crack, Dao Yan's expression changed from relaxed at first to surprised, and finally she even froze on the spot, looking at the person who opened the door for her in disbelief.

Liu Manping!
Someone who should have been dead, someone for whom Dao Yan had wept and mourned, was now standing alive and well in front of her.

At this moment, Dao Yan was filled with doubts. Although she seemed stunned, countless guesses had already flashed through her mind.

"Little Knife, it's been a long time!"

Hearing Liu Manping's familiar voice, Dao Yan seemed to see a scene of training in the Military Intelligence Bureau's temporary training ground.

Long time no see~

The door opened wide, and Liu Manping looked at her classmate, roommate, and friend with a gentle smile!
After taking a deep breath, Dao Yan raised his hand to rub his temples, shook his head slightly, and his gaze immediately became sharp and extremely aggressive.

"Liu Manping, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

"Come in first."

As soon as Liu Manping finished speaking, Dao Yan's umbrella fell to the ground. Dao Yan rushed forward at lightning speed, opened her arms, and hugged Liu Manping tightly. A tear slid down Dao Yan's cheek. At this moment, Dao Yan could not describe her feelings.

Happy? Probably.

Puzzled? Yes, I am.

But the strongest feeling was anger!
She was still alive, but he had never known it. Thinking about how many tears he had shed for this woman, Dao Yan wanted nothing more than to beat her up.

If Liu Manping knew that I was secretly wiping away tears, that woman would be overjoyed, and might even make fun of me.

A mix of complex emotions swirled in Dao Yan's heart. Her clenched fists slowly loosened. At this moment, all Dao Yan wanted to do was hold Liu Manping tightly, afraid that this woman would stage another fake death for her. Dao Yan didn't want to experience that feeling a second time.

Liu Manping hadn't expected Dao Yan to be so emotional, but being hugged by Dao Yan, a warm smile appeared on Liu Manping's lips, and she also reached out and hugged Dao Yan back.
"Alright, it's not just me. If they see this, they'll laugh at you."

Upon hearing Liu Manping's voice, Dao Yan had a slight guess and felt inexplicably overjoyed.

After releasing Liu Manping, Dao Yan looked intently into her eyes:

"You're not the only one?"

"Manli and Wanjun are still alive, right?"

Seeing Liu Manping nod, Dao Yan got the answer she wanted, and at that moment, Dao Yan's heart was completely at peace.

A self-deprecating smile appeared on his face:
"I see. But how did he do that? Was he inside?"

Looking at Dao Yan, who had completely calmed down, Liu Manping's lips twitched slightly. Oh no, her IQ has returned!

Rumbling--

After a loud bang, Dao Yan shoved Liu Manping aside and walked straight into the courtyard.

As the rain fell, Dao Yan's hair slowly became wet. Seeing Chen Manli, He Wanjun, and Song Yuanyuan standing in a row with umbrellas in the courtyard, Dao Yan lowered her head for a few seconds, then looked up at them again, a smile of indescribable joy, like that of someone who had lost something and then found it again, blooming on her face.

As she laughed, Dao Yan's eyes welled up with tears. She shook her head slightly and then let out a sharp laugh:
"what!"

"Song Yuanyuan, you..."

Among the dormitory sisters, Liu Manping, Chen Manli, and He Wanjun all "died" before her eyes.

In this world, Song Yuanyuan is the only good friend she has left.

At the time, Dao Yan did consider going to find Song Yuanyuan, but she was really scared. She was afraid that if she took the initiative to go to Song Yuanyuan, she would accidentally expose Song Yuanyuan's identity. Dao Yan really didn't dare to think about whether the string in her heart would snap.

So Dao Yan held back, but she didn't expect that Liu Manping and the other two had faked their deaths.

So, Dao Yan already knew the answer to who the young tiger was.

However, Dao Yan still couldn't understand how Zhao Xuan managed to save them under those circumstances.
They were clearly dead back then!

Clinging to a sliver of hope, Dao Yan went to confirm it herself; he was dead, indeed dead.

But now they are standing alive and well in front of me.

At this moment, Dao Yan didn't know whether to be grateful to Zhao Xuan or beat him up like a pig's head. Who told that guy to deceive her so badly!

"Little Knife, aren't you happy to see us?"

With a smile, the free-spirited Chen Manli asked a question.

Song Yuanyuan quickly tugged at her friend's sleeve. "Can't you see that Dao Yan is too calm? If you say that now, you're going to suffer a lot later!"
He Wanjun quickly said:
"Dao Dao, we didn't lie to you on purpose. At the time, we didn't even know we were still alive. No, at the time, I thought I was really dead."

Chen Manli then realized what was happening and quickly followed up with:

"Yes, yes, Xiaodao, please don't blame us. We had no choice at the time. If you feel cheated and are angry, you should find our team leader. He's the one who told us not to see you."

Chen Manli's words made He Wanjun, Song Yuanyuan, and Liu Manping, who had just closed the door and walked into the yard, turn completely pale.

Good heavens, Chen Manli, you've offended not only Dao Yan but also the team leader with just one sentence!
Dao Yan raised her hand to wipe away the tears welling up in her eyes, and looked calmly at the three people in front of her:
"How could I blame you? I'm so happy that you're alive and I can see you again, really!"

Chen Manli was already trembling slightly.

They knew Dao Yan all too well; the calmer the situation, the more thoroughly Dao Yan's violent genes awakened.

Thinking back to the training ground, the scene of them ganging up on Dao Yan with their instructors, those scenes of falling down at the slightest touch and getting injured by the slightest graze, have been Chen Manli's nightmare for many years.

The image of Dao Yan calmly dealing with their attack and finally taking them all down on the training ground, then picking up her military jacket and casually waving for a medic's help, is deeply etched in their minds.

That time, the four sisters and three instructors ended up lying in the hospital for more than half a month.

In the room in front of the courtyard, Dao Ya looked at her brother-in-law, who was tightly gripping her wrist, with a look of utter despair. No, he was no longer her brother-in-law!

Dao Ya now wanted nothing more than to bite this guy to death; he was simply inhuman!
"Brother-in-law, I risked my life for you and made tons of money for you, and this is how you repay me?"

No wonder Zhao Xuan didn't let her be present when he discussed things with Liu Manping, and instead had the other three masters accompany her.

That wasn't about keeping her company; it was clearly about being afraid she'd run away.

Dao Ya is now filled with regret, realizing she was careless and trusted her brother-in-law too much.

Dao Ya felt she should have realized something was wrong sooner, but her brother-in-law's sweet talk completely stole her mind, and by the time she realized something was wrong, it was too late.

Zhao Xuan smiled awkwardly and looked at Dao Ya beside him, earnestly saying:

"Xiaoya, your brother-in-law is only doing this for your own good. Look at you these past two days, you've been avoiding Ayan all the time. Can you hide forever?"

"Brother-in-law is helping you clear up the misunderstanding and make up."

Dao Ya rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. She didn't believe a single word Zhao Xuan said, not even a punctuation mark.

"And you heard it too, Ayan just said she was very happy, which means my plan worked. Playing the emotional card really works. When we get out, apologize. On a day like today, when we meet again, do you think Ayan would disrespect you and beat you up in front of her fellow trainees?"

Daoya tilted her head and thought about it carefully, then nodded, finding it very reasonable:

"It seems... well, it seems that today's situation is indeed a good opportunity."

Hearing Dao Ya's words, Zhao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, sisters understand each other best. Even Dao Ya said so, so Zhao Xuan felt that Dao Yan Zhengyi wouldn't be facing a two-on-one situation in today's game.

Seeing Zhao Xuan reach out to open the door, Dao Ya took a deep breath, a sly glint of fear flashing in her eyes.

Brother-in-law, you plotted against me first! Even if we get beaten up, we'll go together. We'll take someone down with us!
That's right. After spending so many years together, how could Dao Ya not understand Dao Yan?
Ha, my sister is on the verge of exploding right now. Good brother-in-law, get ready for the storm to break. Serves you right for scheming against me!
creak-

The door opened, and Zhao Xuan led Dao Ya out.

Chen Manli and the other two, who were standing in the courtyard, also stood on either side, leaving space for Zhao Xuan and Dao Yan.

"Phoenix Tail Orchid, let me formally introduce myself. My name is Zhao Xuan, codename Young Tiger."

"This is Dao Ya, codename Tiger Girl!"

As he spoke, Zhao Xuan pulled Dao Ya, who was hiding behind him, out.

Dao Ya smiled sheepishly and slightly raised her hand to greet Dao Yan:

"Hi~ Sister!" A light rain was still falling from the sky, and Dao Yan's trench coat was already soaked, with strands of hair sticking to her forehead and the skin of her face.

After listening to the words of that scoundrel and her dear sister, Dao Yan raised her hands to smooth her hair back, took a deep breath, and her face turned completely gloomy.

Zhao Xuan's pupils contracted as he watched Dao Yan clench her fists and take steps forward. In that instant, Zhao Xuan even wanted to pull Dao Ya in front of him to shield her from the attack!

But Dao Ya was so clever. Sensing something was wrong, she immediately broke free from Zhao Xuan's hand and hopped to stand next to He Wanjun.

At this moment, Dao Ya's eyes flashed with a hint of triumph at having avenged her great grudge, as well as a hint of curiosity and fear about the strength of her sister's attack.

In short, we'll all die together, brother-in-law, that was your choice!
However, before they could both perish, Dao Ya needed to see her brother-in-law get a beating first to appease her anger.

She trusted her brother-in-law so much, yet he hurt her young heart. He deserved to be beaten up first!
"I am Dao Yan, codename Phoenix Tail Orchid, rendezvous complete!"

It's time to settle accounts!

After speaking each word clearly, Dao Yan was already standing in front of Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan sighed and started to give up, knowing he couldn't escape this beating anyway.

Zhao Xuan now only hoped that Dao Yan would go easy on him, after all, he was still a patient.

I hope that my repeated hints to Dao Yan this morning have had an effect, reminding her that she is still a patient.

The four women, including Liu Manping, who were standing on both sides of the courtyard, had a different feeling from Dao Ya. They were inexplicably excited and worried at the same time.

The reason for their excitement was naturally that they would see Xiao Daodao take action again, and this time it was to beat up their group leader. Just thinking about their group leader being beaten to the ground and begging for mercy made their hearts pound with excitement!

The concern was that Dao Yan might go too far and end up in the hospital for half a month. Who knows what excuse the team leader would come up with to fool the Japanese?
Recurrence of injury?

Hey!

Liu Manping and the other three were now watching the drama unfold with great interest, each of them slowly clenching their fists, their beautiful eyes gleaming.

Dao Ya swallowed hard, pressed herself close to He Wanjun, and blinked her big eyes. Dao Ya, who was clearly aware of the seriousness of the problem, would rather see her brother-in-law get beaten up than see him get beaten up herself.

As for myself, since my brother-in-law has already been beaten up, it's no big deal if I get beaten up too. As long as the eldest brother doesn't laugh at the second brother, that's fine.

However.
Just as Zhao Xuan was mentally preparing himself to face Dao Yan's iron fist of judgment, Dao Yan, who was right next to him, stood on tiptoe, raised his hands, grabbed Zhao Xuan's head, and pulled him towards himself.

Zhao Xuan's heart skipped a beat. Holy crap, that's brutal, a knee strike!?
But when Dao Yan's lips, which were somewhat cool yet incredibly soft and all too familiar, pressed against his own, Zhao Xuan's mind went blank for a moment.

When the lips and teeth meet, the lips enter the mouth.

The passionate kiss in the rain, this dramatic scene, left Liu Manping and the other four onlookers completely dumbfounded.

Three full minutes passed before Dao Yan finally released Zhao Xuan, panting slightly, her face flushed as she looked up into Zhao Xuan's eyes.

"You bastard! Is it fun to lie to me?"

"Do you know that your superiors ordered me to turn you against your side? Do you know how many assassination attempts I've orchestrated against you? Do you know how conflicted I've been after truly falling in love with you? And do you know that I'm here today to have three of the cub's ribs broken, to avenge you?"

"You bastard, you always say that husband and wife should support each other through thick and thin, is this how you support each other through thick and thin?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuan turned around and pulled Dao Yan into his arms:
"I'm sorry, Ayan."

Hearing Dao Yan bury her head in his chest and sob softly, Zhao Xuan felt a pang of heartache. Perhaps he had really gone too far and should have revealed his identity to Dao Yan much earlier.

Dao Ya's mouth opened and closed, her expression changing rapidly. No, that's not how the script was written!
hiss--

If my brother-in-law is alright, then I'm doomed!
No, no, my sister and brother-in-law have reunited, so my sister must be overjoyed. On such a wonderful day, would my sister really bear to hit me? I'm her own sister!

After silently comforting herself, Dao Ya slowly exhaled.

Coming to their senses, Liu Manping and the others looked at the couple embracing in the rain with smiles on their faces.

A few minutes later, Dao Yan pushed Zhao Xuan away, lowered her head shyly to wipe away her tears, then looked up at Zhao Xuan and smiled sweetly:
"Now, I am completely at peace."

Indeed, Dao Yan felt an unprecedented sense of peace. It turned out that her husband had been secretly protecting her all along.

Although Zhao Xuan's concealment of his identity angered Dao Yan, when Zhao Xuan truly revealed his identity to her and realized that Youhu was Zhao Xuan, Dao Yan's anger had long since dissipated, leaving only relief and joy.

Bang bang bang~
Hearing the applause from both sides, Dao Yan's complexion, which had eased slightly, regained its rosy hue.

Thinking about her bold actions just now, Dao Yan felt a little embarrassed.

However, who is Dao Yan? How could the pent-up resentment in her heart for so long be completely dispelled just because Zhao Xuan is the young tiger and her man is the legendary ace agent?

Thinking about what Zhao Xuan had said to her at the dinner table last night, Dao Yan didn't care whether it was true or false, since it was probably false anyway, but Dao Yan needed to vent her anger completely now.

So, Dao Yan smiled and looked at Dao Ya, who was standing next to He Wanjun:
"Good sister, so you've been the one preventing me from meeting with Young Tiger, haven't you? You really enjoy watching Ah Xuan and me pretend not to recognize each other, don't you?"

Dao Ya's expression changed, and she shook her head repeatedly, waving her hands in a panic as she said:

"No, no, no, sister, let me explain. Oh no, sister, let me explain, it's all brother-in-law's fault!"

Dao Yan twisted her neck and loosened her wrists, then slowly walked towards Dao Ya in the rain.

As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn. Dao Ya made a decision immediately, said no more, and turned to run away.

Although Dao Ya ran away quickly, Dao Yan took a step, splashing water everywhere, and in the blink of an eye, her palm landed on Dao Ya's shoulder.

Dao Ya gritted her teeth, grabbed Dao Yan's hand with her backhand, and swept her foot backward.

I've already graduated from being a conductor; I'm not the same person I was yesterday. My dear sister, do you still want to bully me? Do you really think I'm a pushover?
Since we can't escape, let's just take down Dao Yan!

Dao Ya mustered her courage and used a close-quarters grappling technique, attempting to overturn Dao Yan with an over-the-shoulder throw.

Hey! Eh?

Dao Ya strained with all her might, almost breaking her waist, but Dao Yan, standing behind her, remained unmoved.

"That's some progress!"

Upon hearing Dao Yan's words, Dao Ya turned her head to look with a stiff smile.

pat!

As Dao Yan took a step back and pulled back, Dao Ya fell to the ground with a thud.

However, Dao Ya's reaction speed was also extremely fast. The moment she fell to the ground, Dao Ya exerted force in her waist, bent over and kicked backward, her two legs kicking straight towards Dao Yan who was standing behind her.

But the scene that Dao Ya had expected—kicking Dao Yan over—did not happen. Instead, Dao Yan's hands held her feet tightly.

"Hey? Sister, let go, let go now, I'm dizzy!"

Dao Yan smiled coldly, twisted her hand to change the direction of Dao Ya who was lying on the ground, and then kicked Dao Ya in the butt. Just like that, Dao Ya slid two meters away along the ground.

"Oh dear! Masters, save me!"

Upon hearing Dao Ya's words, Liu Manping, who had been watching the scene unfold, twitched at the corner of her mouth, Chen Manli trembled slightly, and all four of them turned to look at Dao Ya.

All that pain was for nothing! This student was really wasted!
Sure enough, Dao Yan's gaze swept over them.

"I knew it! Where did this little girl get the courage to challenge me? Turns out it was you guys!"

"Liu Manping, Song Yuanyuan, Chen Manli, He Wanjun, don't say I'm bullying you, all of you, master and apprentice, come at me together!"

Chen Manli puffed out her cheeks in anger:
"Big sister, I can't take it anymore! I really can't stand it! It's been so long since I've seen her, and she's still just as arrogant! Take this!"

Chen Manli sprinted forward and leaped into the air, delivering a sweeping kick towards Dao Yan.

"cough--"

Bang!
Chen Manli, who had just rushed out, flew back at an even faster speed. He Wanjun quickly caught her, but the impact caused her chest to ache.

"Girls, let's go!"

Liu Manping couldn't hold back when she saw this scene. She knocked Chen Manli down with one move, right in front of Dao Ya. Don't teachers have any dignity?

Dao Ya lay on her side on the ground, rubbing her buttocks with her hand behind her back and groaning, but seeing Chen Manli doing this, Dao Ya momentarily forgot the pain:

"Teachers, let me help you! Ouch!"

Dao Ya stood up, ready to attack again, but then her buttocks started to hurt. However, seeing Liu Manping, Song Yuanyuan, and He Wanjun already ganging up on Dao Yan, Dao Ya's eyes lit up. She felt that her chance for revenge had come!

Taking a deep breath, Dao Ya took a step forward and rushed quickly towards the battle circle.

Despite being surrounded, Dao Yan still seemed to be in complete control of the limited space filled with punches and shadows.

Zhao Xuan stood to the side, rubbing his chin, and had already concluded that even if he joined forces, they would not be a match for Dao Yan.

Dao Yan's head seems to have eyes, so sneak attacks are useless.

Zhao Xuan had no idea how Dao Yan had developed such fighting skills. Could it really be a talent?

Looking at Dao Yan's well-proportioned figure with slender arms and legs, and her short stature of 1.65 meters, it's impossible for her to unleash such strong power.
All four of them, including Liu Manping, are over 1.7 meters tall. Of course, except for Dao Ya, who is quite petite and will probably grow to 1.6 meters this year.

It's really unbelievable.

Seeing that Dao Ya was still not giving up and charged over again, Zhao Xuan was moved by her spirit.

What Zhao Xuan found unbearable was that Dao Ya, who had just rushed into the battle circle, was kicked by Dao Yan again. Although Dao Ya crossed her arms to block, she still staggered backward and finally fell to the ground.

Daoya was almost in tears after her already injured buttocks were further injured.

"Hahaha! Xiaoya, why don't you just not go in?"

Seeing Zhao Xuan still making sarcastic remarks from the side, Dao Ya was so angry that her teeth were grinding together.

Just then, Chen Manli, who had rejoined the battle, was struck by Dao Yan's powerful punch, causing her to clutch her abdomen and fall to the ground.

Song Yuanyuan was also knocked down by Dao Yan's sweeping leg.

The instant after using the sweeping leg, Dao Yan suddenly leaped high from the ground, performing a split in mid-air and kicking Liu Manping and He Wanjun on the shoulders respectively.

The two were thrown back half a meter and landed on the ground.

"puff--"

Zhao Xuan, who was engrossed in watching, spit out a breath and flew backward, crashing into the stone table.

Zhao Xuan, clutching his chest, managed to stay upright by supporting himself on the stone table with one hand, but his face was flushed red.

It turned out that the moment Dao Yan landed, she actually kicked out the first time, which hit Zhao Xuan directly in the chest.

Zhao Xuan didn't realize he'd been punched until he was kicked and the pain in his chest swept through his entire body.

What happened to the love we were promised?

At this moment, Dao Yan, who had already landed, was also a little confused. She hadn't attacked Zhao Xuan, so how come Zhao Xuan had also been sent flying?
"Ah Xuan, are you alright?"

"I didn't see clearly just now, why did you suddenly step forward?"

Dao Yan quickly ran forward, squatted down next to Zhao Xuan, and asked him with concern.

Zhao Xuan, who had gasped in shock, calmed down a bit. Now he didn't know whether Dao Yan had done it on purpose or not.

Seeing Dao Yan's concerned eyes and worried expression, as well as the barely suppressed curve of her lips, Zhao Xuan remained silent for two seconds before sincerely choosing to forgive her.

"It's okay!"

"Hehehe—hahaha!"

Dao Ya, who was still furious, couldn't hold back anymore when she saw Zhao Xuan being kicked three meters away. She stood aside, rubbing her butt, and burst into laughter.

Liu Manping and the other three stood up, rubbing their aching bodies. Four years later, they were fighting Dao Yan again, but they hadn't expected that while they had improved, Dao Yan had improved even more.

They used to be able to hold out against Dao Yan for about three minutes, but now they're all knocked down and starving in less than two minutes.

"Is it funny?"

Dao Yan glared at Dao Ya, who quickly covered her mouth with her hand and shook her head.

After helping Zhao Xuan to his feet, Dao Yan and Liu Manping exchanged glances. Then Dao Yan released Zhao Xuan, and the five of them stepped forward together. Once they were close together, the five women huddled together in the courtyard.

Seeing this, Dao Ya smiled sincerely. After silently walking to Zhao Xuan's side and standing still, Dao Ya whispered:
"So, weren't you moved by the camaraderie between my sister and my master?"

I dare not move, I really dare not move!

Just now, Zhao Xuan took a step forward after seeing that the battle was over, but Dao Yan kicked him away, so he really didn't dare to move.

"Hmph, you stinky brother-in-law, I'll definitely settle this score with you today!"

"Zhizhen Garden, two meals!"

Hearing Zhao Xuan's words, Dao Ya swallowed hard, then her gaze hardened, and she raised her hand to slap Zhao Xuan:
"Five meals, or don't expect me to forgive you!"

"Three meals, just three meals!"

"make a deal!"

Just as Zhao Xuan was about to say he'd only ask for four meals at most, Dao Ya made the deal.

For a moment, Zhao Xuan even wondered if Dao Ya had already been bribed when he suggested two meals.
Oops, I was careless and shouted too loudly!
