After conquering seven male favorites, the vicious heroine wants to run away

Chapter 165 Who is it that has never tried?
The Wulin Alliance was bustling with activity, as all sorts of martial arts figures gathered together.

When Shi Nuanyu and the others arrived, the leader of the martial arts alliance was already there with a large group of people at the gate to greet them. There were about several dozen people in total.

The carriage slowly came to a stop. Shi Nuanyu carefully observed the group of people. After a long while, she saw a familiar face in the crowd.

How interesting, it's time to start acting again.

"This humble citizen, Wei Chao, and his family pay their respects to the Princess."

The loud voice was deafening, and no one from the martial arts alliance dared to stand up without permission.

Shi Nuanyu's gaze fell on the woman, who was no more than thirty years old, and the child, who looked to be about ten years old, standing beside the martial arts alliance leader, Wei Chao.
"Are they your family members?"

The cold voice pierced his heart, and Wei Chao felt a chill run down his spine. He lowered his head and answered respectfully, not daring to hide anything.

“Mei’er is my concubine, and Wei Ming is my only son.”

Upon hearing the last two words, a cold glint flashed in Shi Nuanyu's eyes, and she questioned him in a slow and deliberate tone.

"He is your only son, so who else could he be if not tested?"

When Wei Zengshi was sent to the Nan Yue royal family, she was only ten years old. According to the information she received, the leader of the martial arts alliance ignored her for the past ten years and treated her as a dead person in the martial arts alliance.

I initially thought they were afraid of offending the royal family, but now it seems they've created a cover story.

Wei Chao felt a chill in his heart, but feigned concern for his child whom he hadn't seen for ten years.

"I wonder how Shi'er is?"

He tilted his head slightly and observed the princess's expression out of the corner of his eye.

Hua Lingyan's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he was about to draw his sword, but Shi Nuanyu put her hand on his to comfort him.

"So his childhood name was Shi'er," she said, a hint of impatience flashing across her face as she leaned against the boy and casually played with his fingers.

"Useless thing, slap yourself."

The treasure, who had been waiting for a long time, clenched its fists and struck a pose as if it were sharpening a knife to cut down pigs and sheep.

"You blind fool, daring to peek at the princess with your filthy eyes, I'll beat you to a pulp."

Zhenbao clapped his hands vigorously, rewarding each of the men with several slaps.

The concubine was beaten to the ground, covering her face and not daring to make a sound.

The members of the martial arts alliance glared angrily, each gripping a long sword, ready to charge forward.

The slap mark on Wei Chao's face was obvious, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes before he returned to normal.

"I have done something to displease the princess. I beg the princess to spare my life and give me a chance to repent."

He will seize any opportunity to behead the Southern Moon royal family.

Shi Nuanyu ignored him and fell into deep thought as she looked at the character 'kill' that the boy was gesturing in her hand.

The martial arts alliance has long harbored rebellious intentions, and it's likely that the Emperor already knew this, which is why he entrusted her with handling this matter.

Her gaze turned cold as she stared directly at Wei Chao. "Summon Wei Kongyu to come out and see me."

I remember the former leader of the martial arts alliance was the father of a woman who never met his mother, so how come he only has one concubine now?

Could it be?

If her guess is true, did she already know before she even tried it?

"Everyone knows that the Alliance Leader's wife has long since passed away, so why is the Princess being so aggressive?"

A young martial artist stood up and cursed angrily, his eyes filled with intense hatred.

"The Southern Moon royal family not only forced Junior Brother Wei to his death, but they also want to force the Alliance Leader to his death?"

A-Yuan appeared in front of him in a flash, grabbed his neck, and awaited his orders.

"Hey, you filthy thing, you've got some nerve to insult Princess Nanyue."

Zhenbao rolled up his sleeves and got to work, pulling out a whip from his waist and lashing him hard. Ayuan quickly covered his mouth to prevent him from making a sound.

"You damned thing, I'll beat you to death with treasure."

Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the boy, Shi Nuanyu patted his hand reassuringly and shook her head with regret.

"She died, so she used her child to save the lives of everyone in the martial arts alliance, but she herself wouldn't live more than ten years. The husband she loved married someone else, and a concubine gave birth to a child who took her child's place."

"Truly, 'No poison, no manliness,' wouldn't you say, Wei Chao?"

Seeing the drastic change in Wei Chao's expression, she knew that the reason was not simple.

Following the clichéd plot logic, it was all for power. She finally understood why Wei Zengshi deliberately angered the original owner of the story and was willing to perish in the flames—it was to avenge his mother.

Wei Chao suppressed his fear and pretended to shed a tear, saying, "Five years ago, the lady suffered from heart and liver failure due to excessive worry and died tragically."

This humble subject is filled with sorrow and grief. I beg Your Highness's forgiveness; my wife is unable to come and pay her respects to Your Highness.

The other kneeling martial arts practitioners looked on with amusement, seeing the truth being distorted and misrepresented – truly befitting the leader of the martial arts alliance.

"Enough," Shi Nuanyu snapped, "I feel disgusted just looking at your face."

"Guards, investigate the cause of Wei Kongyu's death. I want to see who is deceiving me."

Hua Lingyan waved her hand, and the guards drove the carriage slowly into the Martial Alliance.

The man mingling among the martial arts practitioners cast a complex look at the woman in the carriage.

She knew everything.

With the royal family arriving, the martial arts alliance dared not be negligent and provided the best of everything, including food, clothing, and other necessities.

Several maids inspected the building before letting her in.

Shi Nuanyu clung to the boy, letting him carry her into the building.

As she lay down on the small couch, she let out a long sigh.

"Ah Ling, give me a hug."

The woman's coquettish manner made his heart skip a beat. Hua Lingyan opened her eyes wide, trying her best to appear harmless.

The possessiveness in his eyes was still evident when he held her tightly in his arms.

Hua Lingyan rolled onto the bed and snuggled tightly against the woman in his arms, greedily enjoying his tenderness.

Shi Nuanyu was so tightly held that she could hardly breathe. Just as she was about to ask him to loosen his grip, she heard the boy's request.

"Sister, can I kiss you, Ah Ling?"

The boy stared intently at her lips with innocent almond-shaped eyes, and Shi Nuanyu instinctively covered her mouth, firmly refusing him.

"No, if you kiss me again, my skin will really break."

She had been kissed countless times along the way, and the boy seemed to never get enough of it, seizing every opportunity to kiss her, leaving her at a loss for what to do.

Hua Lingyan lowered her head in disappointment, tears welling up in her eyes, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

I feel so bad that Nuannuan won't give me a kiss.

Shi Nuanyu was speechless for a moment, then turned over and pressed the boy down to kiss him.

She couldn't stand the boy's pitiful appearance.

Treasure, along with several maids, chuckled to themselves as they excitedly jotted down the story in their little notebooks.

Judging from the current situation, the day when Young Master Lingyan will serve me in bed is not far off; I must prepare red eggs.

Inside the Moon Pavilion, a perfect couple kissed passionately in the slanting rays of the setting sun.

The maids, being quite perceptive, withdrew.

After the kiss ended, Shi Nuanyu's eyes were red and her face was flushed. She breathed slightly and looked at the boy for a talk.

"Ah Ling, please don't kiss me anymore, okay? Does it really hurt?"

If she keeps kissing him, she won't be able to have dinner tonight.

Hua Lingyan lowered her head and gently nuzzled her neck. After a while, she pitifully uttered a single word.

"Ah."

After a long pause, he spoke up, sounding frustrated.

"Ah Ling is going to investigate a case tonight and won't be able to stay with her sister."

It's all the Grand Preceptor's fault; he made him investigate the martial arts alliance leader's hidden things at night.

Shi Nuanyu patted his head tenderly, "Be careful, don't get hurt."

After comforting the boy and letting him leave, she sat on the small couch, gazing blankly at the sunset.

She only knew that the boy was her bodyguard, existing to protect her, but she felt that his identity was more than that.

Which bodyguard doesn't spend every day by the side of the mission target, instead having a mountain of official duties?
