A Man in the Snow: Starting with a Sword Challenge to the Northern Liang Prince's Palace

After more than a month, the news of the assassination of Xu Xiao, the King of Northern Liang, spread throughout almost the entire world.

It's unclear who deliberately leaked the news, saying that this matter is closely related to Li Yang.

west Chu Ye Yun's identity is merely a fabrication, a tactic employed by the Li Yang royal family. The true mastermind is inextricably linked to the Li Yang royal family.

At this moment, Ye Yun was sitting cross-legged on a soft futon, his face slightly closed, with a faint crimson aura surrounding his body.

Crackling sounds!

A sound like roasting soybeans came from inside my body, ringing continuously.

Half an hour later.

Ye Yun suddenly opened his eyes, and in a flash, he arrived in the courtyard. He stretched his body and felt the energy within him flowing smoothly.

"Young master, your skills have been restored."

Xiao Die, who was practicing her marksmanship, stopped what she was doing and looked at Ye Yun, who was full of energy, with delight.

Ye Yun did not answer. Instead, a hint of crimson appeared in his eyes as he looked at Xiao Die standing in front of him. He noticed a faint golden light emanating from her and murmured to himself:

"Is this what they call luck?"

Ye Yun suffered a severe backlash from forcibly using the power of the sword immortal, Nanming Li Huo, but unexpectedly gained the baptism of the immortal sword's power, acquiring the ability to see the strength of other people's fortune.

After nearly three months of recuperation, the damaged meridians not only recovered but also became more resilient and robust, greatly benefiting his future martial arts path.

"How is the situation in Lingzhou City recently?"

Ye Yun's cold voice rang out.

"Young Master, the entire Lingzhou City is still under lockdown. People are allowed to enter but not leave. Xu Xiao's adopted sons are in charge of the four regions: east, southwest, and north. They are still frantically searching for our whereabouts every day. They have even checked this small pharmacy no less than ten times."

"Oh, is there any news about Xu Fengnian?"

What Ye Yun was most concerned about was naturally the movements of this chosen one.

As long as Xu Fengnian doesn't reveal his identity, it's estimated that apart from Li Yishan, no one in the world knows where Xu Fengnian is.

If we want to kill Xu Fengnian, we need to plan carefully.

This guy has an extraordinary background; he's the reincarnation of the True Martial Emperor, carrying the fortune of three lifetimes. If he were to sit peacefully on the throne of the King of Beiliang, the fortune of the entire Beiliang region would likely be enhanced.

If I were to personally kill him, I fear I would be struck by bad luck.

The reason why his current power cannot be fully restored is because of the backlash of this fortune, and he needs a longer time to recuperate.

"Xu Fengnian? There's been no news of him, but Xu Longxiang is back, and..."

Xiaodie didn't dare to say what she was going to say next.

Ye Yun's gaze turned cold, and he thought to himself: I didn't expect her to come back after all.

"From now on, you don't need to gather information anymore. Focus on practicing your spear skills. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

After giving his instructions, Ye Yun returned to his room, changed his clothes, and headed straight out of the pharmacy.

"Young master, where are you going?"

Xiaodie caught up and blocked Ye Yun's path, asking him a question.

Ye Yun calmly said, "Listening to music in a brothel."

"Ah! Young master, you mustn't! That filthy place is beneath your dignity!"

Xiao Die frowned and tried her best to stop Ye Yun from going.

"let!"

Ye Yun's icy voice made Xiao Die take a few steps back.

"Xiaodie, don't forget who you are."

After saying this, Ye Yun left the pharmacy.

Xiaodie complained, "Hmph, you won't listen to advice. I hope you get venereal disease."

The most famous place for seeking pleasure in Lingzhou City is naturally the Zijin Tower.

As soon as Ye Yun stepped into the Purple Gold Tower, a middle-aged woman with well-maintained skin and a plump figure came to greet him.

"Oh my, what a handsome young master! Is this your first time here?"

The middle-aged woman looked Ye Yun up and down, and judging from his clothes and accessories, he was obviously a wealthy person.

Ye Yun glanced indifferently at the middle-aged woman, knowing in his heart that she was the madam of a brothel. He never expected that a madam would be so well-endowed.

Seeing that Ye Yun remained silent, the madam hurriedly stepped forward, took Ye Yun's arm, and enthusiastically introduced, "Judging from your appearance, young master, this must be your first time visiting my Zijin Tower. Do you have any familiar girls that you would like me to recommend?"

Ye Yun casually pulled out a gold ingot from his sleeve and held it out in his hand: "I heard that there is a girl here who practices swordsmanship named Yu Youwei. I wonder if I could introduce you to her?"

When the madam saw the large pile of gold ingots, her smile grew even brighter. She quietly took the ingots and said, "Young master, you are truly generous. But which young lady is willing to sell her art but not her body, and whose price is extremely high? Perhaps this old servant could recommend some skilled and beautiful courtesans to serve you well."

"No need, bring her to see me!"

Ye Yun took out two more gold ingots and placed them in the madam's hand.

"Oh dear! I'll arrange it for you right away, sir."

"Honghong, quickly take this gentleman to the VIP room and treat him well." The madam called out cheerfully, then continued to Ye Yun, "Master, you go to the VIP room first, and I will bring him to you later."

Ye Yun nodded and followed the red-clad courtesan upstairs.

The bustling brothel and the desolate Lingzhou city outside formed two completely different worlds.

Even if the King of Beiliang dies, it won't affect business in places like this.

The madam rarely saw such a generous guest as Ye Yun, so she knew perfectly well that he was a fat sheep, and if she served him well, she would surely reap a bountiful harvest.

Soon, she swayed her voluptuous waist and led a woman towards Ye Yun's room.

"Master, Miss Yu Youwei has arrived. Her sword dance is truly the best in our Zijin Tower."

Ye Yun looked up and saw an extremely beautiful yet refined woman, dressed in a light blue robe, holding a cat with snow-white fur and red eyes in her arms, her chest…

"When you look down, you can't see your toes; that is the most beautiful sight in the world."

To describe this woman is an exaggeration; her beauty is already unparalleled.

"You can go now! I'd like to speak with this young lady alone."

Ye Yun's voice remained calm, yet it carried the domineering air of someone in a superior position.

"Alright! Master, if you have any other orders, please feel free to give them. Have fun."

The madam, being a sensible person, pushed Yu Youwei into the room and then closed the door with Xianmei.

The moment Yu Youwei looked up and saw Ye Yun, she sensed that this person was different from the others who came to the brothel for pleasure.

Especially his eyes, which actually had a hint of crimson.

"Yu Youwei greets Young Master. May I ask if Young Master would like to hear a piece of music or watch a sword dance?"

Yu Youwei's voice is very pleasant, yet it carries a hint of coldness. It seems gentle, but it keeps people at a distance.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Ye Yun. I once had a special identity: the son of Ye Baikui, the military strategist of Western Chu."

"what!"

Yu Youwei seemed frozen in place, unaware that the white cat in her hand had ended up in Ye Yun's hands.

After a moment of stunned silence, he said tremblingly, "You are a descendant of General Ye, and it was you who killed Xu Xiao, the King of Beiliang."

"That's right, I killed the person. I don't know whether to call you Yu Youwei or Yu Xuanji."

Ye Yun's voice struck Yu Youwei's chest like a drumbeat.

"Xuanji greets Young Master Ye."

Yu Youwei hurriedly knelt down and bowed.

At this point, he had already admitted his true identity.

Ye Yun stepped forward, reached out and helped the pitiful woman up, and returned her cat to her as well.

Do you know why I came looking for you?

"Please enlighten me, Young Master Ye."

Yu Youwei asked in confusion.

"I know your purpose in coming to this brothel is to assassinate Xu Fengnian. Xu Xiao is dead, so Xu Fengnian probably won't come to this brothel for the next few years."

"I wonder if you would be willing to stay by my side, learn swordsmanship, and one day personally kill him."

Ye Yun said calmly.

It was as if this were an extremely simple matter.

"Young Master Ye, there are rumors that you are seriously injured. How could you go to the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion to kill again?" Yu Youwei mostly admired Ye Yun.

To dare to storm the Northern Liang Prince's mansion alone and kill Xu Xiao with his bare hands—how domineering!

Ye Yun revealed a mysterious smile and said:

"Who said that!"

"I'm going to kill Xu Fengnian right now."
