The more the two fought, the more desperate Ren Ruyi felt! For the first time in his life, he felt this indescribable feeling welling up inside him!

Wei Tingyu could clearly see that Ren Ruyi's expression in the afterimage was becoming increasingly anxious, and he could also clearly feel that the woman's movements were gradually slowing down.

Her strength was gradually being exhausted, and her attack frequency was getting lower and lower.

Wei Tingyu lost interest in continuing to play around and directly channeled the surging internal energy he had accumulated over the past twenty years!

Ren Ruyi was still making a last-ditch effort, but unexpectedly, Wei Tingyu suddenly seemed to be hit by a typhoon, and a huge force threw her backward!

In this raging storm, Ren Ruyi couldn't even maintain her posture and fell directly onto the lawn a few steps away!

When she looked up at Wei Tingyu in shock, the almost visible gale quickly subsided.

The flowers and plants in the courtyard even tilted outwards from Wei Tingyu!

"What is this...?" Ren Ruyi struggled to sit up, but still sat on the ground looking at Wei Tingyu with a bewildered and shocked expression.

"It's just releasing internal energy!" Wei Tingyu said directly to Ren Ruyi.

During his exchange with his opponent just now, he could clearly sense that Ren Ruyi also possessed internal energy! It seems that with the integration and expansion of this unified world, martial arts levels are gradually rising!

These martial artists, who originally knew nothing about internal energy, now had a rudimentary understanding of this powerful force that could be controlled by humans!

However, Ren Ruyi, as the deputy envoy of the Zhuyi Guard, is one of the top martial arts masters in this world! Yet her internal strength is just like that of an ordinary sect disciple who has diligently cultivated for half a month.

He possesses internal energy, but it's barely enough to be of any use! It's practically useless in combat!

Of course, the existence of this internal energy greatly enhances her endurance in using external skills, allowing Ren Ruyi's moves to continue endlessly, which is akin to a dimensional reduction attack compared to those without internal energy!

However, it's still a long way from achieving a highly advanced technique like projecting internal energy outwards!

Ren Ruyi was shocked to hear that releasing internal energy had such an effect.

710 Because Wei Tingyu was probably a few years younger than him, but his internal strength was more than ten million times stronger.

Ren Ruyi was, after all, a martial arts prodigy, and she understood the reason in an instant.

If this marquis wasn't able to stretch a day into a hundred, then there's only one explanation: his own method of cultivating internal energy was far inferior to the other's!

In other words, the other party must have a unique secret technique for cultivating internal energy!

Ren Ruyi also attached great importance to the pursuit of martial arts. When she looked at Wei Tingyu again after thinking about this, her eyes even lit up!

Seeing Ren Ruyi's expression, Wei Tingyu knew what the girl was thinking, and immediately waved to the Golden Shadow Guard.

The female Golden Shadow Guards left immediately after receiving their orders, leaving only the three of them in the courtyard.

At this moment, Wei Tingyu was no longer afraid of the two women escaping. Not to mention that they now knew they couldn't escape, even if Wei Tingyu opened the door wide, the two women probably wouldn't want to leave!

Thinking of this, Wei Tingyu walked to the stone table next to him and slowly sat down.

Ren Ruyi and Linglong, who had already stood up, exchanged a glance, and they could see in each other's eyes that they wanted to stay.

Having confirmed this, Linglong ran over without saying a word, looked at Wei Tingyu with a sweet smile, and then picked up the wine glass on the table and poured herself a glass of wine.

"Your Majesty's might is awe-inspiring! I am in awe!" After pouring the wine, Linglong knelt respectfully before Wei Tingyu without saying a word, raised the wine cup high above her head, and toasted him with a look of longing, saying, "I wish to offer this wine as an apology to Your Majesty!"

Wei Tingyu looked at Linglong in front of him and knew that this woman was really realistic.

She immediately realized that she had no intention of killing them, so she quickly stepped forward to fawn over them and apologize!

Assassins like Linglong are very adept at poisoning food. Just look at the few seconds she spent pouring the wine; she had at least several opportunities to silently put poison into the wine.

However, Wei Tingyu at this moment could not be killed by a little bit of so-called poison, and Linglong's methods could not escape his eyes.

So he wasn't worried and drank the wine in one gulp.

Seeing that Wei Tingyu did not suspect her, Linglong was overjoyed.

At the same time, she remembered the bet that Ren Ruyi and Wei Tingyu had just made.

"Your Excellency has won!" At this moment, Linglong was afraid that Wei Tingyu would go back on his word, so she quickly admitted defeat, saying, "From now on, I belong to Your Excellency! I am willing to obey Your Excellency's orders!"

But after she finished speaking, she found that the thing she expected—that the Marquis would ask her to get up—did not happen!

Linglong looked up with some confusion, only to see Wei Tingyu looking at Ren Ruyi, who was still standing in the distance.

Although the Marquis did not speak, he immediately understood what the other party meant.

Thinking of this, Linglong immediately gave Ren Ruyi a frantic wink, signaling her to come over and submit to Wei Tingyu like she did.

Previously, Ren Ruyi was definitely her superior in the Zhuyiwei! But according to the bet just now, both women are now people of the Jining Marquis's mansion, so there is no longer any distinction between superiors and inferiors.

"..." Ren Ruyi's feelings were complicated at this moment.

Her mind was clear; she didn't want to leave the Jining Marquis's residence with such doubts, especially after learning that Wei Tingyu possessed a unique manual for cultivating internal energy!

If Ren Ruyi doesn't learn this skill, she won't be able to sleep soundly!

However, considering the bet they had just made, and the fact that she now wanted to stay by Wei Tingyu's side and be his woman, she naturally couldn't go back on her word.

But do I really want to be his woman? If it's just about being a subordinate, then I might consider it!

Ren Ruyi had wanted to break away from the Zhu Yiwei for a long time, but even after breaking away, she couldn't live freely because she would definitely be hunted down! Moreover, she had some important things on her mind that she hadn't had time to take care of!

The Marquis of Jining's mansion can provide him with protection right now.

So working for Wei Tingyu isn't necessarily a bad thing! Anyway, as an assassin, it doesn't really matter to Ren Ruyi whose orders she takes to kill.

However, the thought that the bet included the option of becoming his woman made it difficult for him to accept.

Seeing Linglong kneel down before Wei Tingyu so quickly, she couldn't help but feel speechless and complain.

However, before he could even complain, he saw Linglong frantically winking at him!

Linglong was only doing it for her own good! Ren Ruyi knew this, of course. She wasn't a cold-blooded person; her steely heart was simply because she wasn't very sensitive to emotions!

Now that we've lost the gamble, we can only accept it!

Thinking of this, Ren Ruyi lifted her skirt and walked straight to Wei Tingyu. Then, staring directly into Wei Tingyu's eyes, she slowly knelt down.

But there was a hint of resentment in the girl's eyes.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Given her personality, there wouldn't be much resistance to taking her in as a subordinate, but making her her woman... this girl definitely won't be able to make up her mind for the time being.

She only had to do it because of the bet they had just made!

"Good girl!" However, the more she did this, the more Wei Tingyu wanted to tease Ren Ruyi. He reached out and gently patted the heads of Linglong and Ren Ruyi, who were kneeling in front of him, and showed a very gratified expression.

The more smug Wei Tingyu looked, the more Ren Ruyi hated him.

"My lord!" Linglong was gently patted on the head by Wei Tingyu, so she obediently knelt forward two steps, then rested her face directly on Wei Tingyu's lap, and whispered, "This servant has something I would like to ask my lord to grant me!"

Just looking at that charming appearance, Ren Ruyi couldn't help but shiver!

"What is it?" Wei Tingyu asked directly when he saw that Linglong was so obedient and seemed to be genuinely compliant with him.

“All of us White Sparrows have family members being held hostage!” Linglong looked up at Wei Tingyu, her face full of pleading, and said, “According to the rules, only when a White Sparrow dies can our families regain their freedom!”

"So you want me to announce your deaths to the public?" Wei Tingyu was taken aback, then smiled and asked.

"Please grant my request, Your Excellency!" Linglong nodded directly and then spoke earnestly.

She still cares about her family. Now that she can't go back to Anguo, she can rest assured as long as her family is no longer threatened.

“This is simple!” Wei Tingyu nodded in agreement without hesitation: “Tomorrow I will spread the word that you two attempted to do something improper while serving me at night, and were killed by the guards in my residence!”

"From now on, you will live here under your new identities!"

As Wei Tingyu spoke, he gently lifted Linglong's chin with his hand and smiled at her.

When Linglong heard that Wei Tingyu had agreed to her request so easily, a look of joy immediately appeared on her face.

Even if Anguo's Zhu Yiwei had extraordinary abilities, they would never dare to come to the Jining Marquis's residence to spy on his life or death! And in order to set an example for the other Baiques and encourage them to act fearlessly, the higher-ups would certainly not dare to go back on their word!

When Ren Ruyi saw Wei Tingyu and Linglong smiling at each other, their eyes seemingly about to melt each other's hearts, she helplessly pursed her lips and looked away, no longer wanting to see what was happening in front of her.

Although she knew nothing about relationships between men and women, this display of affection was still a bit too unexpected!

Of course, Ren Ruyi still mentally complained about Linglong! The two had worked together for a while, but she never expected that this woman would turn into this after seeing the man she admired!

Just a quarter of an hour ago, she was trying to kidnap Wei Tingyu, even going so far as to fight him, but now she's docilely groveling beside him like a canary!

Having escaped her identity as a white sparrow from the Anguo Zhuyiwei, she has now become a canary kept in the Jining Marquis's mansion, leaving Ren Ruyi speechless.

Of course, Wei Tingyu was much easier to get along with than Zhu Yiwei and his ilk, and he didn't hesitate or make any demands when he agreed to Linglong's request.

This made Ren Ruyi look at this man with new respect.

"Don't be too happy yet!" Of course, Ren Ruyi couldn't stand Wei Tingyu's smug look, so she immediately poured cold water on Linglong's enthusiasm, saying, "We Vermilion Birds are all poisonous!"

"Even if the Marquis were to keep us at his residence, we probably wouldn't be able to serve him for very long!"

After saying this, Ren Ruyi carefully observed Wei Tingyu's expression, wanting to see what he would think after hearing this.

Is he only concerned about his and Linglong's health, and then abandons them after sleeping with them? Or does he genuinely hope that his two women can stay by his side for a long time?

To Ren Ruyi's disappointment, Wei Tingyu seemed to have known all along, and his expression didn't change at all.

However, Linglong was reminded by Ren Ruyi's words and immediately panicked.

“Ruyi is right!” Linglong quickly looked up at Wei Tingyu and said, “We White Sparrows need to take the antidote every six months to survive! If we can’t get the antidote, the two of us will probably only be able to stay by the Marquis’s side for another three months!”

At this point, Linglong's eyes even reddened; she had finally seen hope in her life.

No more being an assassin to kill people who have nothing to do with me! No more practicing these dances every day for other men to enjoy, and even having to endure their gossiping and teasing.

Most importantly, Wei Tingyu gave her a sense of belonging for the first time! It's just a pity that this period of happiness might only last three months…
