While writing a diary at Zongwu, Wang Yuyan falls in love with someone else.

A sly glint flashed in Lianxing's eyes, and she said with a touch of playfulness, "Then guess again, am I the older sister or the younger sister?"

Her voice was clever and lively, naturally possessing an innocent childlike quality that surprised the disciples of Emei.

If the person speaking weren't right in front of them, they would surely have thought the speaker was a beautiful, sweet, and innocent young girl in her prime, rather than a majestic and powerful ruler of the palace.

Dugu Yihe remained unmoved. After a moment's thought, he said, "Second Palace Master, please be kind to Xing."

"Oh dear, you were right. How boring." Lianxing sighed regretfully.

Dugu Yihe brought the topic back to the main point and said, "Palace Master Lianxing did not stay in Yunzhou, but came to my Mount Emei to commit murder. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

"Explanation? What explanation?"

Lianxing opened her clear, bright eyes and asked in confusion, "Why should I explain to you? Do you think you can be my match with 'Dual Sword and Saber Killing Techniques'?"

"I'll let it slide since you attacked me just now. But if you keep talking nonsense, I might kill you."

Her words were spoken casually, without any murderous intent, yet they conveyed utter contempt, instantly creating a tense atmosphere in the room.

Dugu Yihe's old face was also terribly gloomy.

From their earlier exchange, he had roughly gauged Lianxing's strength; it was similar to his own, both around the sixth or seventh level of the Grandmaster realm.

Mingyu's true energy is extremely domineering, and her "Shifting Flowers and Jade" technique, which borrows force to strike back, is a natural counter to his "Double Kill with Swords and Blades".

In this situation, even with his greater combat experience, it would be extremely difficult for him to win.

If there were no one else here but Lianxing, Dugu Yihe would still have a way to deal with her, because he had secretly learned a few evil and domineering kung fu techniques.

But now, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he absolutely cannot use it.

Because the Emei Sect is a righteous force.

If a deputy sect leader were to practice evil arts, how would he explain this to his fellow martial artists?

But should we just let them swagger around on Emei's territory?

This is absolutely not okay!

Just as Dugu Yihe was pondering a solution, Lianxing suddenly chuckled and said, "Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore! I'm in a good mood today, so I'll tell you."

With a delicate, slender finger pointing at a discarded small golden cylinder on the ground, she said in a clear, youthful voice, "Old man, look what that is."

Dugu Yihe looked in the direction he was pointing, his eyes narrowed, and he suddenly bent down and picked up the small cylinder. His brows furrowed slightly, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes: "This is..."

Lianxing didn't wait for him to guess and blurted out, "The Heaven-Slaying, Earth-Destroying, Bone-Piercing Heart-Piercing Needle! Old man, you haven't heard of it, have you?"

Never heard of it?

How could I not have heard of it!

The "Heaven-Slaying, Earth-Destroying, Bone-Piercing Heart-Piercing Needle" is of unknown origin, but it has enjoyed great fame since its creation.

This is because its appearance in public always signifies the fall of a great master.

It is said that this hidden weapon is cylindrical in shape and contains 130 silver needles as thin as ox hairs.

The simultaneous firing of silver needles is not only capable of piercing flesh and nailing bones, but also has the effect of breaking through qi and blood. Even grandmasters in later stages dare not withstand it head-on.

If the needle is poisoned, it would be even more terrifying.

The most glorious achievement known to people of the "Heavenly Annihilation and Earthly Destruction Bone-Piercing Heart-Piercing Needle" was the assassination of a Celestial Being!

Although that celestial being was not at his peak at the time, he was still a celestial being after all.

The infamous name of "Heavenly Annihilation, Earth-Destroying, Bone-Piercing Heart-Piercing Needle" is enough to make any grandmaster extremely wary, or even flee at the mere sight of it.

053 My house was burgled by accident.

Dugu Yihe looked at the abandoned golden cylinder, then glanced at Jiang Yulang, who was tortured beyond recognition, and connecting it with Lianxing's words, he suddenly understood something.

Dugu Yihe narrowed his old eyes slightly and tentatively asked, "Could it be... that this kid used this hidden weapon to ambush the Second Palace Master?"

He found it somewhat unbelievable.

If this is true, wouldn't it mean that Lianxing not only survived the sneak attack of "Heavenly Annihilation and Earthly Destruction Bone-Piercing Heart-Piercing Needle" but was also completely unharmed?

If that's the case, then he'll have to reassess Lianxing's strength.

At least Dugu Yihe himself wasn't confident he could do that.

However, another possibility occurred to him: "Or perhaps this kid who launched the sneak attack was too useless and gave himself away beforehand, allowing Lianxing to take precautions?"

Just as he was lost in thought, Lianxing pointed to a silver needle on an open space not far away: "Isn't this obvious?"

Dugu Yihe glanced in that direction and immediately fell silent.

Lianxing smiled and said, "He attacked me with a hidden weapon, so it's perfectly reasonable for me to kill him, isn't it? Do I need to report to your Emei Sect?"

Dugu Yihe frowned as he looked at Xiao Mimi's corpse and asked, "Does the Second Palace Master know who she is? Why did she die here? Furthermore, where did this kid's 'Heavenly Annihilation and Earthly Destruction Bone-Piercing Heart-Piercing Needle' come from?"

Lianxing smiled gently: "Old man, you must be mistaken. I'm only telling you this because I'm in a good mood. You have no right to interrogate me. If you want to know, go and find out for yourself."

Having said that, Lianxing turned around and flicked her long sleeves: "Let's go."

The maids of Yihua Palace followed behind.

All the disciples of the Emei Sect looked at Dugu Yihe without prior agreement.

Dugu Yihe remained expressionless and coldly ordered, "Search! Search this place thoroughly! I need to know what's going on here!"

The disciples of Emei obeyed the order and went.

Among them, Xie Yunzhen, Sun Xiuqing, and Shi Xiuyun watched Lianxing's departing figure, then looked at the devastated site of the former Diling Palace, lost in thought.

……

The closer they got to Leigu Mountain, the more people they encountered. Fortunately, the "Central Plains Escort Agency" was a well-known name, and no one dared to provoke a grandmaster without good reason.

Seeing some people on the street start fighting over a single word or a glance, Jiang Sishui felt that her decision to hire bodyguards was the right one.

He seemed a bit distracted today; after dinner, he went back to his room to write in his diary.

[In novels, when it's difficult for the female and male protagonists to get married, this kind of plot usually occurs.]

[For example, arrange an accident to make them have physical intimacy.]

This unexpected event was simply because one of them was poisoned by aphrodisiacs. If they weren't treated in time, they would die from burning lust, thus giving the other person an opportunity.

[Snap! They hit it off immediately!]

I used to think this kind of clichéd plot only existed in the author's fantasy, but I never expected that one day I would actually encounter such a good thing.

What's this called? A marriage by chance? A stroke of good luck? Or just a destined romantic encounter?

The diary was updated early today, and all the women quickly opened it to see what new content had been written.

Upon seeing the opening paragraph, all the women were taken aback, their expressions becoming inscrutable, their feelings varying.

But the strongest reactions came from Huang Rong and Zhao Qiying.

One of them was Jiang Sishui's favorite, and the other was her first love.

It can be said that the two of them are now the closest to Jiang Sishui.

Judging from the contents of the diary, could it be... that their home was raided?!

In an instant, Huang Rong and Zhao Qiying's hearts clenched.

Unable to find an inn last night, we stayed at an abandoned manor. A group of travelers also checked in during our stay.

The noise at first was quite loud and woke me up, so I got up to check.

Finding everything was alright, I went back to sleep.

Just as they were about to enter, they suddenly noticed a girl in white standing in the courtyard.

Quite by chance, she was infected with aphrodisiacs, and while I was hesitating between being a beast or something less than a beast, she pounced on me.

I'm not some saintly figure like Liu Xiahui, who could remain unmoved even with a woman in his lap; how could I possibly withstand such a test?

So I carried her into the room and treated her for the poison.

The process was very enjoyable, and this was the first time in both of my lives that I'd experienced something like this. I have to say, it was truly addictive.

At an inn less than 100 miles from Leigu Mountain, Huang Yaoshi and his family of three, who had already come ashore, were having a meal.

Suddenly, Huang Rong's pretty face turned ashen. She pursed her thin lips, slammed the chopsticks on the table, and turned to go back to her room.

Huang Yaoshi and his wife Feng Heng looked at each other in astonishment, not understanding why their beloved daughter had suddenly changed her expression when everything had been fine just moments before.

"Rong'er, you..."

"I'm not eating! I'm going to sleep!"

Huang Rong went into the room without looking back and slammed the door shut.

Huang Yaoshi and Feng Heng looked at each other in bewilderment.

Inside the room, Huang Rong buried her face in the blanket, feeling an indescribable sadness in her heart.

She herself didn't understand why she was sad.

She hadn't even met Jiang Sishui yet, and hadn't decided whether she would stay with him or not, so what business was it of hers if he was with other women?

Huang Rong understood this principle, and she used it to convince herself.
