Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 376 Silent Shattering of Jade
As a military strategist who had fought for many years, Chen Qianye was never quite comfortable with the decadent atmosphere of Wangjiang Tower, so he went out to stake out the pit on his own.

Including the fight with Pei Xia, it's been quite a while since we left.

As he was, after all, an attendant of the Tiger Marquis's envoy, any slight abnormality might attract extra scrutiny, so he had to return to the banquet hall as soon as possible.

Watching the short-haired soldier's departing figure, Pei Xia turned to look at the room upstairs.

Now he is single again.

Flirting wouldn't work, so he straightened his clothes. Since he was wearing the disciple's robes from Jiangcheng Mountain, he could move more openly.

Unexpectedly, Pei Xia walked up the stairs in a grand manner, passing through the long corridor and approaching the room that Chen Qianye had pointed out.

To Pei Xia's surprise, this was clearly the bride's room, but there wasn't a single servant outside.

He gradually slowed his pace, tiptoed to the door, and listened carefully, only to find that the room was unusually quiet.

When Su Yan touches up her makeup, shouldn't she be surrounded by a bunch of people groping her and making a lot of noise?
Surely Master Su can't do his makeup all by himself, can he?
After confirming that no one was around, Pei Xia cautiously pushed open the door a crack and peeked inside.

The exterior of Wangjiang Tower is adorned with carved beams and painted rafters, so the interior of the tower is naturally exquisite and elegant as well.

However, apart from the expensive decorations and ornaments, the layout was as usual. What Pei Xia saw were tables, chairs, screens, and beds, as well as an adjacent zither stand, tea room, and study—which was indeed much more luxurious than Pei Xi's room in the Prime Minister's residence.

There was no sound from inside the room, and no one was at the dressing table.

Pei Xia examined it closely and saw that the rouge and face powder under the bronze mirror were neatly arranged, as if no one had ever touched them.

What's going on? Didn't Chen Qianye say he saw Su Yan come in to touch up her makeup?

This strange phenomenon made Pei Xia hesitate for a moment.

But thinking of Jiang Shu's young age and how he had fallen into the clutches of this vixen, Pei Xia, as his master, still had to muster up some of his remaining courage.

He pushed open the door and carefully walked in.

Once inside, the feeling became even more pronounced.

The furnishings were so neatly arranged that it looked like no one had ever lived there after it had been cleaned.

Pei Xia tiptoed over, his gaze sweeping around until it landed on the bed in the room. Through the bed curtains, he vaguely saw someone lying inside.

He shrank back, instinctively trying to hide.

Seeing no reaction from the bed, he took a closer look.

You're not mistaken, there really is someone on the bed, dressed in red, lying flat on top of it.

Could it be Jiang Shu?
Pei Xia wanted to get closer, but was worried that the legendary female vixen was hiding inside.

If she coveted Jiang Shu so much, how could she easily let him go if she saw her own handsome and charming appearance?

Just then, footsteps suddenly came from outside.

somebody is coming!

Pei Xia didn't have time to think and quickly hid behind a screen not far away.

Behind the screen was a bathtub, and the cat could stay in the shadows without worrying about light coming through.

Just as he hid, the door was pushed open.

A person dressed in bright red walked in.

Through the screen, Pei Xia could only see that the person was tall and slender with long hair.

Hmm, Su Yan?

Was the person on the bed just now really Jiang Shu?

Pei Xia was secretly annoyed. She should have been bolder earlier, pounced on the bed, grabbed Jiang Shu, and jumped out the window to escape!

Just as I was feeling annoyed, I saw the figure on the other side of the screen take steps toward the bed.

Oh no, is this vixen planning to commit adultery in broad daylight?
Pei Xia quickly considered her current situation. Su Yan was said to be a Vajra Realm expert. If she were to launch a sudden attack now, would she risk being captured and forced into... a dangerous situation?
There are risks.

Pei Xia thought about it and decided to observe first.

If all else fails, let Jiang Shu sacrifice himself and see if he can steal something from her while she's having fun.

Thinking it over, Pei Xia took out a small sword from her sleeve, poked a small hole in the screen, and then squinted to look through the hole.

The person in red did indeed have long hair and was sitting on the edge of the bed. Pei Xia could only see his profile for the time being, but this profile seemed to be different from the legend.

"Isn't things a little too peaceful?"

He was wondering what was going on when he saw the person slowly lift the curtain and pick someone up from the bed. Pei Xia's eyes widened in surprise.

Because the one being lifted from the bed was clearly a woman!

This woman was beautiful, and despite wearing a bright red wedding dress, her voluptuous figure was still evident. In comparison, she seemed more like the legendary enchanting mountain lord, Su Yan.

But if it's Su Yan lying in bed, then who is this person picking him up?

It was as if to resolve Pei Xia's doubts.

The man had one arm around Su Yan's waist and the other hand brushing his temple, revealing a profile that Pei Xia found somewhat familiar.

The man who shattered jade, Qu Ying!

Why is it him?

Isn't the groom Jiang Shu?
Pei Xia realized in an instant that her information might be wrong, or perhaps there was an error somewhere.

Therefore, the person Su Yan truly intends to marry is not his disciple Jiang Shu, but rather the Jade-Shattering Man Qu Ying?
But wait, isn't Qu Ying here to overthrow Jiangcheng Mountain?

Furthermore, this wedding was initiated by Su Yan, so why does it seem like he's the one in charge?
Pei Xia held her breath and continued to observe the situation around the bed through the small hole.

He saw that Su Yan's eyes were open, but the Vajra Realm expert's gaze was unusually empty, as lifeless as a puppet.

Qu Ying, on the other hand, had a gentle expression. He reached out and stroked Su Yan's smooth cheek, and a faint spiritual energy rose up from it.

A power that Pei Xia found incredibly familiar quietly filled the room.

This is a special rule of spiritual power, a magical technique!
Pei Xia was startled. When she met Qu Ying that night, she only noticed that he had the spiritual power of the Opening Mansion Realm.

I didn't expect this guy to be a beginner as well?
Moreover, his technique feels somewhat familiar.
As the spell was completed, a hazy light flickered in Su Yan's eyes, followed by Qu Ying's deep voice calling out, "Su Yan."

The seemingly boneless mountain lord of Jiangcheng unconsciously murmured, "...I'm here."

"you love me."

"I...I love you."

"You must marry me."

"I want...I want to marry...you."

“You invited a wide range of guests, bringing together all the sect leaders you could from Dongqin.”

"They've all been...invited."

"Very good. Now, let these words sink into your mind once more, and then go to sleep."

Su Yan's bright red lips moved unconsciously. She slowly closed her eyes, her breathing became long and deep, and she truly fell asleep.

Pei Xia recognized it; he had indeed seen a similar technique before. It was at the Lingxiao Sword Sect, where Changsun Yu used this method to control Xiaoyue, a Transformation Realm elder in the sect.

Changsun Yu was able to succeed because he possessed a fiery inner fire, which allowed him to use the calamity of the monstrous pig to achieve his goal of overthrowing his superiors and controlling the Transformation Realm with magical techniques.

Although there are only four realms in the Refining Head stage, the Vajra Realm is already the third, and even if it is not as good as the Transformation Realm, it is not far off.

It's astonishing that Qu Ying, at such a young age, possesses the martial arts cultivation of the Opening Mansion Realm.

If that can be explained by "earth energy", then where does this level of cultivation as a master of the natural arts come from, as well as his terrifying computing power?

No, no, no, no!
This jade-shattering man is definitely not as simple as he appears!
Qu Ying put Su Yan down and drew the bed curtains again. He muttered to himself, "This time, more than ten sect leaders from Dongqin have been gathered here. If we can wipe them all out, Li Qing's eastward advance will accelerate considerably, and Li Xu will have no choice but to..."

The voice behind him faded, and Pei Xia could not hear it clearly.

It wasn't until Qu Ying straightened her clothes, got up from the bedside, and made a move to leave that she finally arrived.

As Pei Xia got closer to the screen, he could hear Qu Ying's whispers again.

"Is it possible that Zhou Tian, ​​that old bastard, noticed that I used supernatural powers in this risky trip?"

"Alright, Li Qing's actions are aggressive and fiery. I think this matter will be over soon. When that time comes, I can leave without fear of that old man."

"Besides, many people on this trip have picked up my scent, which should be able to confuse him a bit..."

As she spoke, Qu Ying walked out of the room and closed the door behind her.

However, when they reached the outdoor corridor, Qu Ying, dressed in a red wedding gown and with his long hair flowing down, stopped in his tracks.

He didn't make a sound, but turned his head to look at the door, his gaze seemingly fixed on a corner of the room.

He curled his lips into a silent, eerie smile.
