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

Qin Mengyao understood the implication in Wu Xiangjun's words and knew that he wanted to negotiate terms. She and Le Bingyun had come prepared not to return—if they failed to complete the task assigned by Di Ni, they would either be executed or sent to serve other powerful figures and be used by Jingzhai.

She took a deep breath, straightened up, and said to Su Qingfeng:

"Please name your conditions, Lord Wu Xiang. We will agree to anything we can do. Even if... even if it means my sister and I have to stay by His Majesty's side, we are willing."

Su Qingfeng's heart skipped a beat: Cihang Jingzhai is really going all out this time, actually sending two peerless beauties here. They're practically offering themselves up to the tiger.

But he immediately became alert: something was amiss. When had he become a thorn in the side of Cihang Jingzhai? Could that old nun, Di Ni, be trying to control me through Qin Mengyao and Le Bingyun?

"**!"

Upon hearing Qin Mengyao's words, Shi Qingxuan angrily rebuked her. How could a reputable sect resort to such methods? How were they any different from the demonic sects?

Xue Nu and Dugu Feng had not expected the women of Cihang Jingzhai to be so direct. They looked at Su Qingfeng, waiting for his response.

The two had no hope for Su Qingfeng, that lecherous man—he must have already been tempted by the two beautiful women before him.

Le Bingyun lowered her head, not daring to look directly at the crowd. She never expected her senior sister, Qin Mengyao, to be so direct. If Wu Xiangjun agreed immediately, it would be difficult for them to back out.

"Lord Wu Xiang, do you... agree?" Qin Mengyao asked, barely suppressing her embarrassment and annoyance, seeing that Su Qingfeng was staring at her without answering.

Su Qingfeng smiled as he looked at Qin Mengyao. Although they had offered themselves up, he dared not accept them easily—these two women were no ordinary characters. They were young now and might not be ruthless enough to use any means necessary, but who could predict what the future held? However, Su Qingfeng was reluctant to let them leave so easily. After all, both were exceptionally beautiful, and to let them go so easily would tarnish his reputation as a "womanizer."

"Haha, how could I refuse such a good thing? However... that's not enough. Qin Mengyao, who did Cihang Jingzhai send for Yang Gong's treasure vault this time? And who will Jingnian Zen Temple send to compete for it?"

Seeing that this bastard had actually agreed, Shi Qingxuan was so angry that she reached out to pinch his waist again. But as soon as she raised her hand, it was firmly grasped, and she immediately wanted to kick him to death.

Su Qingfeng had been on guard against Shi Qingxuan's current somewhat out-of-control state—he knew that once he agreed to Qin Mengyao's request, she would definitely take action. Grasping the hand that was about to commit a crime, he secretly rejoiced that he had been prepared.

Is this woman really crazy?

Seeing Shi Qingxuan raise her leg to kick him, Su Qingfeng quickly pulled her into his arms and restrained her.

He leaned close to Shi Qingxuan's ear and whispered, "Don't be silly, I was just kidding them."

Shi Qingxuan struggled as the man hugged her. Although she heard his words and understood that he had pretended to agree to Qin Mengyao's request, if he was determined to deceive her, why was he still holding her so tightly?

"Let me go."

"Shi Qingxuan, you're safer in my arms. Right now you're a dangerous person, and I don't want you to kick me so I'll never have a child."

"**, I won't do it anymore, let go."

"Don't even think about it. How could I trust a woman's words? Especially a beautiful woman like you, you're even less likely to be trusted."

"**!"

Shi Qingxuan was helpless against this man; it wasn't the first time he'd held her like this. She glared at Su Qingfeng, then stopped struggling, wanting to see how this man would handle the two women from Cihang Jingzhai.

Qin Mengyao hadn't expected Su Qingfeng to propose another condition. Watching Wu Xiangjun playfully interacting with the woman in his arms, she pondered for a moment and said:

"Lord Wu Xiang, I can tell you all these things, but you must also grant me one request."

Tell me about it.

Su Qingfeng was surprised—Qin Mengyao was actually going to agree to what he had just mentioned. What on earth was wrong with these people from Cihang Jingzhai?

Why does it seem like the people at Cihang Jingzhai aren't very loyal? Qin Mengyao's master is like that, and so are Qin Mengyao and Le Bingyun. Is it because Dini oppresses them too much? Or are they afraid of Dini's methods, which is why they want to betray Jingzhai?

Thinking of the task assigned by Dini, Qin Mengyao had no choice but to say to Su Qingfeng, "You have to withdraw the troops from the Yue Ma Bridge area."

She didn't really want to work for Di Ni anymore, but if she didn't do anything at Wu Xiangjun's residence, Di Ni would probably send someone else, and might even kill the three of them before she could rescue her master Yan Jing'an.

After much deliberation, Qin Mengyao decided that it would be better to complete Dini's first task first, so that Dini wouldn't suspect them of having ulterior motives. Once they rescued their master, they could escape to another country and hide—after all, Dini's plan was at a critical juncture, and she certainly wouldn't have time to pursue them.

Su Qingfeng was surprised that Qin Mengyao would make this request, and felt somewhat relieved. He had originally planned to withdraw his troops from Yuema Bridge tomorrow, and if Qin Mengyao hadn't come today, she might have made other demands.

The Snow Maiden, Dugu Feng, and Shi Qingxuan beside her all looked at Qin Mengyao with pity in their eyes. If she had only come tomorrow, there would have been no need to mention these conditions; Su Qingfeng would have withdrawn his troops on his own. Now, Qin Mengyao would probably be led around by Su Qingfeng.

Qin Mengyao waited anxiously for Su Qingfeng's answer. She knew that Wu Xiangjun might not agree to this request, but there was no other way—if the army continued to guard Yuema Bridge, the Cihang Jingzhai forces would be unable to get close at all.

Jingzhai is not incapable of taking action against the army, but there are more than 100,000 garrison troops in Luoyang, and hundreds of thousands of troops under Wu Xiangjun nearby. It is definitely not something that people from the martial arts world can confront head-on.

Su Qingfeng looked at Qin Mengyao and felt that she looked like a helpless little wildcat. He smiled and asked:

"Withdraw the troops from Yuema Bridge? Do you think you and Le Bingyun are more valuable than the treasures in Yang Gong's vault?"

Qin Mengyao was speechless. How could she and her fellow disciples compare to Yang Gong's treasure vault? It contained countless gold, silver, treasures, weapons, and even the Demonic Sect's supreme treasure, the Evil Emperor's Relic. The Evil Emperor's Relic alone was far more important than them. She didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Le Bingyun looked up at her senior sister, hesitating to speak. They had originally planned to come, but if they couldn't even get past Wu Xiangjun, all their plans would fall through.

After a moment's thought, Le Bingyun walked up to Su Qingfeng, took out the pills that Di Ni had sent, handed them to him, and said:

"Lord Wu Xiang, this is medicine that our Grandmaster Di Ni sent to us, instructing us to secretly take it with you. Although my senior sister and I don't know what this medicine is, we're certain it's not for good. Does this show our sincerity?"

Su Qingfeng took the three pills, her face showing surprise:

"The medicine Dini gave you? You have to take it all together? Could this be...?"

Le Bingyun's cheeks flushed red instantly, and she shook her head repeatedly:

"We don't know what kind of medicine this is... we only brought it out to gain the trust of the emperor."

Su Qingfeng secretly inquired with the system and learned that the medicine was called "Red Flower," made from the spirit flower Red Oriole Flower. It was an extremely potent medicine that would cause an inseparable bond between men and women after consumption, and their trust would deepen day by day.

He cursed Cihang Jingzhai inwardly for their despicable methods, while wondering: the Red Oriole Flower is a spiritual flower that has long been extinct in the world, so how did Cihang Jingzhai obtain it? Could it be that they control a secret realm?

Su Qingfeng put away the medicine and sneered at Le Bingyun and Qin Mengyao:

"This is a potent drug. If you were to take it all together, you should understand the consequences."

The snow woman beside her spoke up to remind her:

"Su Qingfeng, Cihang Jingzhai has begun to deal with you. Be careful from now on, and don't let yourself be taken advantage of by a woman."

Dugu Feng also quickly advised:

"Your Majesty, we should increase the number of guards from now on and discourage people from leaving the manor. Cihang Jingzhai's scheme has failed this time, and they will surely seek other methods."

She was secretly worried. Since the Dugu clan had already pledged allegiance to Wu Xiangjun, if something happened to Su Qingfeng, the Dugu clan would also be in turmoil. Moreover, her grandmother intended for her to marry Su Qingfeng, and she also had feelings for him, so naturally she did not want to see him in danger.

Shi Qingxuan replied softly:

"Su Qingfeng... you really need to be more careful from now on."

If Cihang Jingzhai uses ** this time, they might use murderous intent next time.

Shi Qingxuan didn't want to see this guy meet with misfortune. Although he was somewhat lecherous, he had never truly harmed any woman. She also knew that the women in the Dugu household all harbored some feelings for him. Although it had nothing to do with her, and she was even a little annoyed that this man had disturbed her peaceful life, the constant bickering with him these past few days had actually made Shi Qingxuan find life much more interesting than before.

Seeing the worried expressions on Xue Nu's and the others' faces, Su Qingfeng smiled and reassured them, "Don't worry, I'm not so easily tricked into dying."

When Qin Mengyao saw Le Bingyun take out the medicine and hand it to Wu Xiangjun, and Wu Xiangjun was able to recognize it as a potent drug at a glance, her heart sank – it seemed that he had used this kind of method to deal with women quite often in the past.

Seeing that Su Qingfeng did not respond for a long time, Qin Mengyao couldn't help but say, "Lord Wu Xiang, although we are not as important as Yang Gong's treasure vault, we are still Grandmasters. From now on, we sisters are willing to serve you, and we only hope that you can agree to that condition."

Su Qingfeng, holding Shi Qingxuan, looked at the anxious Qin Mengyao and finally nodded: "I agree. Your sincerity is enough; the army at Yuema Bridge will withdraw tomorrow. Remember your promise. Now tell me, who will Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Chan Temple send to seize Yang Gong's treasure trove?"

Qin Mengyao was overjoyed to see that he had agreed and even planned to withdraw his troops the next day—this brought her one step closer to rescuing her master, Yan Jing'an.

She did not hide anything and told the truth: "Cihang Jingzhai has brought more than a hundred people this time, including ten grandmasters and experts, but no great grandmasters. Jingnian Chan Monastery should be led by Grandmaster Liaokong, with the four holy monks and more than a hundred monks at the innate realm traveling together, as well as external support, the details of which are unknown. But Grandmaster Ning Daoqi will definitely participate."

Su Qingfeng felt slightly helpless after hearing this. Cihang Jingzhai was indeed powerful, with ten grandmasters leading over a hundred innate female warriors; Jingnian Chanyuan was no less formidable, Liaokong was already difficult to deal with, and the four holy monks working together could even defeat Shi Zhixuan, so they should not be underestimated. As for external aid, he was not worried—those people would rush towards profit and flee at the first sign of danger, making them the most unreliable.

"Qin Mengyao, Le Bingyun, now that you have followed me, you must not associate with other men. Your master is not available for the time being, and I cannot fully trust you yet. Go and rest now; I will give you instructions if needed. Dugu Feng, arrange accommodations for them."

"Yes." The two responded and withdrew.

Qin Mengyao and Le Bingyun blushed upon hearing Su Qingfeng's words. They hadn't expected Wu Xiangjun to give them such a direct instruction.

The two women secretly thought that it was already a rare privilege to be able to stay here, and that Lord Wu Xiang would certainly not trust them on their first meeting. As long as they stayed, they would eventually have a chance to find out where their master, Yan Jing'an, was being held.
