In the martial arts world, he threatens Yin Susu from the start.

But he turned out to be a fake eunuch, which immediately put him in an awkward position.

He wanted to become a great swordsman, but he didn't want to become a real eunuch.

However, the clever Wei Xiaobao secretly thought:

"Then I just won't castrate myself, right?"

Gu Hanyuan saw through his thoughts.

He said in a chilling tone:

"The 'Evil-Repelling Sword Technique' is unorthodox and only suitable for eunuchs to practice. Those who aren't eunuchs who try it will either spend their entire lives practicing and only achieve a third-rate skill, or they'll suffer a qi deviation, with unpredictable consequences. But Xiao Guizi shouldn't worry about that, right?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Xiaobao felt a chill run down his spine.

He deeply regretted his previous stubborn refusal to admit that he was a fake eunuch.

After all, since he had already been identified, and the other party hadn't said they would expose him.

Moreover, the two sides are not on equal footing.

Why would someone of Wutian's status target a fake eunuch like him?

But the situation is different now.

He stubbornly refused to admit that he was a fake eunuch, so Wutian specially brought out a "Sword Manual of Exorcising Evil" that was suitable for eunuchs to practice.

Moreover, the icy tone sent a chill down Wei Xiaobao's spine, and he even detected a threatening undertone in it.

How could I dare to say that I was lying to him just now?

However, Wei Xiaobao was indeed quite clever.

Compared to being a chivalrous hero, his own younger brother is more important.

Therefore, he hastily and tactfully declined:

"Thank you for your kindness, sir. However, I am lazy and cannot endure the hardship of practicing martial arts. I am afraid I will fail to live up to this divine skill."

Gu Hanyuan's eyes flickered, and he said in an enigmatic tone:

"Keep the manual; you never know when you might need it."

Upon hearing this, Wei Xiaobao knew he couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to awkwardly accept it.

However, he made up his mind that he would never practice the "Evil-Repelling Sword Manual".

Gu Hanyuan didn't take Wei Xiaobao's idea seriously.

Since he was given the "Evil-Repelling Sword Manual," he would naturally be made to learn it "voluntarily."

Looking at Wutian's amused gaze, Wei Xiaobao felt uneasy all over.

He quickly changed the subject, smiling obsequiously:

"Your Excellency has bestowed upon me a divine martial arts manual, for which I have no way to repay you. Is there anything I may do for you?"

Gu Hanyuan's waiting for Wei Xiaobao was not just to give him the treacherous "Evil-Repelling Sword Manual".

It was a matter of course that he said:

"Kangxi must have instructed you to secretly release the people from the Mu Prince's residence, right?"

"Your Excellency is incredibly insightful, wise and powerful, and your destiny is assured. I admire you greatly."

Wei Xiaobao tried to salvage his image in Wutian's mind.

Immediately, a barrage of flattery was hurled at him, leaving everyone both amused and exasperated.

Gu Hanyuan felt a headache coming on.

"Alright, stop with your nonsensical flattery. And that's called 'strategizing and planning,' not 'manipulating fate and fortune.'"

Wei Xiaobao smiled awkwardly.

However, he achieved his goal.

The atmosphere had clearly eased considerably at this point.

Gu Hanyuan ignored Wei Xiaobao's little scheme and gave the order:

"I trust you to handle how to reasonably release the people from the Mu family. However, there's a man named Liu Yizhou among them; bring him to me."

Wei Xiaobao asked cautiously:

"Who is this Liu Yizhou? Why does he need to be specifically reminded by an adult?"

He was afraid that Liu Yizhou and Wutian might have some connection.

They were worried that they might accidentally offend someone while letting the Mu family go.

That's why I specifically asked.

Gu Hanyuan glanced at the cautious Wei Xiaobao.

He said, with a pointed remark:

"Remember the two women you met during the day? Liu Yizhou is the older woman's fiancé."

Wei Xiaobao suddenly realized.

He said with a wicked smile:

"Rest assured, sir, I will bring him back 'unharmed'."

Gu Hanyuan smiled with satisfaction.

Wei Xiaobao's cleverness was exactly what he valued.

Few can match their talent, especially in doing bad things.

Moreover, they are ruthless in their methods, and if trained properly, they can become a sharp and effective weapon.

Gu Hanyuan said meaningfully:

"Go. I will be waiting for you in Princess Jianning's palace."

Upon hearing this, Wei Xiaobao's heart stirred once again.

They were amazed that Wutian had managed to subdue Jianning.

He met Jianning once or twice.

Therefore, he was very clear about Jianning's willful and fierce nature.

Furthermore, despite Wutian's unbridled entry and exit from the inner palace, Kangxi remained indifferent.

This only made him seem more unfathomable and of extraordinary status.

Wei Xiaobao's attitude became even more respectful.

He watched as Wutian's figure disappeared before his eyes.

He strode quickly toward the direction of the prison.

On the way, I suddenly remembered the fright I had just experienced.

He chuckled mischievously and muttered to himself:

"Liu Yizhou, right? Hehehe."

Jianning is busy helping Gu Hanyuan develop her mother, so naturally she won't be returning to her own palace to rest tonight.

Therefore, when Gu Hanyuan arrived at her palace, Fang Yi and the other woman were still waiting anxiously.

They were worried about the safety of everyone in the Mu family, and also concerned about their own situation.

Especially within the deep palace walls, there was a sense of loneliness and panic.

If the two women weren't there to keep each other company, this sense of panic would be many times greater.

Therefore, when they saw Wutian again...

The fear and alienation I felt before are long gone.

Mu Jianping's eyes lit up, and she ran forward excitedly to greet him.

Gu Hanyuan reached out and gently rubbed Mu Jianping's head, making her squint her eyes comfortably.

"Those arrested at the Mu Prince's residence will be released during the night."

He saw the two women's faces light up with joy.

He sat down on the edge of the bed with an air of authority, and said in a cryptic tone:

"I'm a little tired. You know what to do, right?"

Fang Yi understood immediately upon hearing this.

She knelt down gracefully, crawled forward on her knees, and served him tenderly.

Mu Jianping was no longer a clueless newbie.

Offer to help.
