Martial Arts Universe: With a single command, 100,000 iron cavalry will sweep across the martial wor

He only hugged her once, how could that be considered abandoning her after starting something?

Su Qingfeng immediately understood that Wanwan was deliberately dragging him into this mess as revenge for the hug she had given him earlier.

He quickly said to Wanwan:

"Girl, don't talk nonsense. I have a wife. If my wife hears me say this, she'll kill me."

Wanwan put on a pitiful look:

"You're lying! You just said you didn't have a wife... Now I've given you everything, how can you abandon me?"

Su Qingfeng turned to Shi Feixuan and said urgently:

"I really have nothing to do with her! Girl, you have to believe me, I just met her. Shi Feixuan, you must believe me!"

As he spoke, he secretly admired Wanwan's acting skills—if she lived in modern times, she would definitely be an outstanding actress.

Shi Feixuan pointed her sword at Su Qingfeng:

"Who are you? How do you know I am Shi Feixuan?"

She became suspicious. This was the Song Dynasty, and very few people should recognize her. This man was probably not simple.

Wanwan also looked at Su Qingfeng with great interest. This bastard had just taken advantage of her, and as soon as he heard Shi Feixuan's name, he was eager to distance himself from her.

It seems he recognizes her too... Now that he even knows Shi Feixuan, Wanwan couldn't help but feel a bit curious about Su Qingfeng.

Su Qingfeng immediately pointed at Wanwan and said:

"That's what Wanwan told me, um, it was Wanwan who said it."

Su Qingfeng wanted to slap herself. In her haste, she had accidentally let slip Shi Feixuan's name, and now she probably wouldn't be able to leave.

Wanwan looked at him and smiled slyly:

"When did I ever say she was Shi Feixuan? The moment Shi Feixuan arrived, you heard the little nun call her name and tried to leave, so you must recognize me too. Tell me, who are you? How do you know me and the little nun?"

"Who exactly are you?"

Shi Feixuan also wanted to know why this man recognized her and Wanwan, and why he seemed to know them so well.

Su Qingfeng quickly explained:

"I'm just an ordinary rich young master. Don't misunderstand, I really don't know you. You see, I don't know any martial arts at all, how could I possibly know who you are?"

Seeing that he indeed did not seem to be a martial artist, and that he appeared frail and uncouth, unlike a wandering swordsman, Shi Feixuan asked softly:

"What's your name?"

Looking at the elegant and refined Shi Feixuan, Su Qingfeng blurted out:

"My name is Su Qingfeng, Su as in Su Qingfeng, Chen as in Su Qingfeng."

Shi Feixuan felt helpless at this somewhat frivolous answer. Just a moment ago she was flustered, but in the blink of an eye she was joking as if nothing had happened, leaving Shi Feixuan speechless.

"Su Qingfeng... I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before." Wanwan tilted her head and looked him over.

Su Qingfeng quickly replied:

"It's just a common name; there are plenty of people with the same name."

He was terrified that Wanwan would connect him to the Lord of Gusu City, Wu Xiangjun. If she knew he was the Lord of Gusu City, she would probably take him away from the Song Dynasty immediately. Although Su Qingfeng could teleport away, he didn't want to reveal this ability unless absolutely necessary.

Wanwan blinked and stared at him:

"Really? But I always feel like you're hiding something from me. Su Qingfeng, am I right?"

Su Qingfeng quickly shook her head:

"That's not true. We're complete strangers. Even if I were hiding something, that would be normal, wouldn't it?"

Shi Feixuan looked at him and said:

"Su Qingfeng, you can leave now."

"Okay, okay, I'll be going now."

Su Qingfeng felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He quickly walked to the horse and was about to mount when Wanwan suddenly leaped lightly onto its back and sat down in front of him. Su Qingfeng looked at Wanwan, who was so close to him, and was speechless for a moment.

"Shi Feixuan, didn't you also want to see the Beggars' Sect gathering? Su Qingfeng is going too. Shi Feixuan, let's put our grudges aside for now. Anyway, you can't do anything to me and I can't do anything to you. We'll continue our competition when we get back to the Great Sui Dynasty."

"OK."

Shi Feixuan pondered for a moment and felt that Wanwan's words made sense. The two had been competing for years, and their skills were evenly matched; it was indeed difficult to determine a winner at the moment. The Beggars' Sect Assembly was about to begin, and she also wanted to see the martial arts masters of the Song Dynasty.

Seeing that the two of them had reached an agreement in just a few words, Su Qingfeng quickly interjected:

"Hey, I'm not going to the Northern Beggars' Sect's meeting with you guys. We're not on the same side."

He really didn't want to travel with these two stunningly beautiful women. Beautiful women are always a source of trouble, let alone "super troublemakers" like Shi Feixuan and Wanwan. Su Qingfeng had originally intended to attend the meeting discreetly, but with the two of them by his side, he couldn't hide himself no matter how hard he tried.

"If you don't want to die, get out of here."

Wanwan drew a throwing knife and brandished it, her voice laced with threat.

Su Qingfeng stared at the knife in her hand, surprised:

"Good heavens, Wanwan, you truly live up to your reputation as the little vixen of the Yin Kui Sect. Shi Feixuan is much gentler."

When Wanwan saw Su Qingfeng looking at Shi Feixuan, she burst into laughter:

"Haha, Su Qingfeng, you wouldn't happen to like this little nun, would you?"

Su Qingfeng rolled her eyes at Wanwan:

"You said she's a nun, how could I like her? I admire her, don't you understand?"

Wanwan didn't trust the somewhat cunning Su Qingfeng. She always felt that Su Qingfeng was no ordinary person and that she needed to investigate his background thoroughly.

"Who would believe your nonsense? Shi Feixuan, you'd better be careful, this pretty boy might have his eye on you, don't be fooled by his sweet talk."

Shi Feixuan blushed slightly and said:

"My affairs are none of your business."

"Tch, like a dog biting Lü Dongbin, not recognizing a kind heart."

Su Qingfeng had no choice but to follow behind them—his horse was occupied by Wanwan, and Shi Feixuan had somehow acquired another horse, leaving him to walk behind on foot.

At this moment, at the gate of Suzhou city.

Huang Rong had been waiting for Su Yan since early morning and was now getting anxious. The martial arts practitioners in the city were leaving one after another, but there was still no sign of the young princess, Su Yan. Huang Rong suspected that Su Yan might not be able to come, perhaps because her strict father was holding her back, forbidding her from attending the Beggars' Sect assembly.

"Wait another quarter of an hour. If Su Yan doesn't come by then, I'll leave first and settle accounts with that little girl later."

Guo Jing urged anxiously from the side:

"Huang Rong, let's hurry up and set off, or we might miss the Beggars' Sect gathering."

Guo Jing knew that Huang Rong was waiting for Wu Xiangjun's daughter to set off together, and he was worried that Wu Xiangjun might bring his daughter along. If Wu Xiangjun really came, Huang Rong would probably have to meet him again, and Guo Jing was really afraid that there would be some further entanglement between them.

Huang Rong was already in a bad mood, and Guo Jing's incessant chatter only made her more impatient.

Huang Rong suppressed the urge to hit Guo Jing and said to him helplessly:

"Can you please stop bothering me? We're not really related; we just happened to be passing through Suzhou together. Can you please stop following me around like this?"

Guo Jing, however, said with a serious expression:

"Huang Rong, I'm just worried about you. There might be danger at Xingzi Forest. My master said there might be an accident at this Beggars' Sect gathering. If we're together, I can protect you."

Huang Rong looked at Guo Jing and remembered Su Yan saying he was a simpleton, and now she saw that it was indeed true. Why couldn't he understand what she was saying? If it weren't for the fact that Guo Jing was doing it for her own good, Huang Rong would have really wanted to beat him up right then and there.

Just then, a troop of cavalry suddenly appeared at the city gate. These cavalrymen, dressed in black armor, were escorting a magnificent carriage, which was slowly driving out of Suzhou.

A general immediately led his troops forward to stop them, saying:

"Commander Liu Teng, where are you going? Without His Majesty's order, the Princess cannot leave Suzhou. Don't make things difficult for me."

Liu Teng smiled at Zhang Xishan:

"Commander Zhang Xishan, I am merely a guard. What can I do if the princess wants to leave the city? You might as well go and ask the princess yourself."

Zhang Xishan waved his hand, walked to the carriage, and bowed, saying:

"Zhang Xishan, commander of the Xuanwu Legion, pays respects to the Princess."

Su Yan, sitting in the carriage, said somewhat nervously:

"Commander Zhang, I need to leave the city. Tell your men to make way."

Zhang Xishan inwardly groaned. He knew this princess would be difficult to deal with, and of all things, he happened to encounter her trying to leave the city today while on duty. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply:

"Princess, His Majesty has decreed that you may not leave the city without his permission. Please understand."

"A'Zhu, show the jade pendant to Commander Zhang."

"Yes, Princess."

Su Yan was also very nervous at this moment. She was not sure if the jade pendant her father had given her would work. She could only try it and hope that the jade pendant would be useful.

Huang Rong saw the carriage escorted by the army and knew that Su Yan had arrived. However, the soldiers guarding the city stopped the carriage, and she couldn't help but worry about whether Su Yan would be able to leave the city smoothly.

A'Zhu stepped out of the carriage and handed the jade pendant to Commander Zhang. Actually, A'Zhu wasn't sure if the little princess's jade pendant would be effective here.

Upon seeing the jade pendant, Zhang Xishan immediately bowed and said:

"Princess, I apologize for my rudeness earlier. You may leave the city now."

This jade pendant is a token of Lord Wu Xiang, and with it, the princess can mobilize all troops and go anywhere.

Hearing Zhang Xishan's words, Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief:

"Commander Zhang, I don't blame you. It was your duty. Liu Teng, let's go."

"Thank you, Princess."

Zhang Xishan returned the jade pendant to A'Zhu and immediately bowed, saying:

"Yes, Princess."

Once the carriage left Suzhou, A'Zhu picked up Huang Rong. At this moment, Su Yan had no more worries. She looked down at the jade pendant and couldn't help but smile slightly—her father had ultimately treated her very well.

She never expected the jade pendant to be so significant; it seemed she could accomplish many things with it in the future.

Huang Rong was secretly surprised as soon as she got into the carriage: the interior was so spacious and luxurious, it would be very comfortable to lie down and rest. However, seeing Su Yan staring at the jade pendant and grinning foolishly, she couldn't help but speak:

"Little girl, what are you laughing at that piece of jade for? How did you manage to persuade your father to let you leave the city this time?"

"I didn't tell him."

Su Yan smiled mysteriously.

Huang Rong was taken aback: "What? You snuck out? How could the soldiers guarding the city have let you through?"

She felt uneasy: if Su Yan's father found out that she was the one who took his daughter away, she would probably be implicated as well.

Su Yan handed the jade pendant to Huang Rong:

"It's thanks to this. My dad gave it to me, and I never thought it would let me leave the city."

"This...this is a family jade pendant, a certificate of identity. Why would your father give it to you?"

Huang Rong examined the jade pendant closely, her expression one of shock. This jade pendant had always been a symbol of the heir, and she hadn't expected Su Qingfeng to dote on this daughter so much.

Su Yan asked, puzzled, "Why can't I have it? I'm his daughter, who else would he give it to?"

Seeing that Su Yan did not understand the meaning of the jade pendant, Huang Rong said seriously:

"This jade pendant represents the family's inheritance and should rightfully be given to the eldest son, the future heir. You are a woman, so how did it end up in your hands? Do you intend to inherit the title in the future?"

"What? It has that other meaning? My father never mentioned it."

Su Yan was also taken aback. She hadn't expected her father to entrust her with such an important jade pendant. At that moment, she felt her palms burning and even wanted to return it.

Considering that she wasn't Su Qingfeng's biological daughter, and that he had treated her well enough, Su Yan secretly decided that she should leave the jade pendant to her younger siblings and return it to her father someday.

Huang Rong smiled and patted Su Yan's head.

"I can't say for sure. You little girl are sure to be extraordinary in the future. When you become a female warrior, you'll have to take good care of me."

"Let's talk about the future later. My dad is still young."

"That's true, but you're still young. I can wait until you grow up."

At the gates of Suzhou, Guo Jing stood somewhat bewildered. Huang Rong boarded the carriage and left without even saying goodbye. The soldiers guarding the carriage wouldn't let him near, so Guo Jing had no choice but to follow the cavalry towards Xingzilin.

In the apricot grove, Su Qingfeng leaned against a tree, drenched in sweat. He had truly suffered this time—the two women had unexpectedly sped up halfway through the journey, and that vixen Wanwan had tied him up with ropes, making the horse drag him along. Su Qingfeng was still panting heavily, and in his heart, he wished he could teach Wanwan a good lesson.
