Although Su Qingfeng didn't know why Murong Bo was delaying, it suited his purposes perfectly—Xiao Feng hadn't found that person yet. Whatever Murong Bo's schemes were, they were all buying him time; the more he urged him now, the less likely that old fox Murong Bo would act immediately.

At this moment, Yue Buqun's face turned pale, and he hurriedly shouted to Su Qingfeng:

"Wait! Lord Wu Xiang, my wife has agreed to be with you, please don't kill me!"

Su Qingfeng held Wanwan and Shi Feixuan in his arms and replied disdainfully:

"Get out! When did I ever say I wanted your wife? Which woman beside me isn't younger and prettier than your wife? You're going to die today!"

Shi Feixuan and Wanwan blushed deeply in his arms, each pinching his waist. Su Qingfeng grinned and gently stroked the two women's soft waists.

He wasn't about to let himself be pinched for nothing, but touching Shi Feixuan and Wanwan's waists did feel good. The two women realized he was up to no good and immediately grabbed his fidgeting hands with one hand each.

Yue Buqun stared at Su Qingfeng in horror:

"No, no...didn't you just praise my wife's beauty? She agreed, please spare my life!"

Ning Zhongze glared at Yue Buqun with eyes full of hatred, then knelt down and begged Su Qingfeng. Yue Buqun saw the beautiful women around Su Qingfeng and secretly hoped that Wu Xiangjun was also lustful—he had long heard that some officials loved to occupy his private quarters.

"Haha, your wife's agreement is useless. Murong Bo, if you don't act soon, Murong Fu won't be able to save his other arm either!"

Seeing that Su Qingfeng was determined to kill him, Yue Buqun hurriedly threatened Ning Zhongze, who was crying beside him, "Aren't you going to beg Lord Wu Xiang? Don't you want Lingshan to live?"

"Lord Wu Xiang, I beg you to spare Yue Buqun this time. From now on, I will serve you like an ox or a dog."

Seeing that Ning Zhongze was actually pleading for that hypocrite, Lin Shiyin asked in exasperation:

"Ning Zhongze, Yue Buqun is about to give you away, why are you still pleading for him? That hypocrite isn't worth it!"

Ning Zhongze gazed at the beautiful woman before him and sadly replied:

"I don't want to plead for him... but if I don't, my daughter will die. Yue Buqun cannot die now. Young lady, I beg you to ask Lord Wu Xiang to spare his life for now."

Lin Shiyin angrily replied upon hearing this:

"This hypocrite is using your daughter to blackmail you, so you absolutely cannot let him get away with this!"

Wanwan stared at Yue Buqun, wishing she could kill him immediately. She hadn't expected this hypocrite to use even his own daughter to threaten his wife, and immediately said angrily to Su Qingfeng:

"Yue Buqun deserves to die! Su Qingfeng, kill this hypocrite quickly!"

Huang Rong also angrily said:

"Su Qingfeng, kill this hypocrite who's even more despicable than you right now! Just looking at him is disgusting!"

Abbess Miejue was so angry that she trembled all over. She never expected that the dignified leader of the Huashan Sect would be such a coward who was willing to sacrifice his wife in order to save his own life, and even use his daughter to coerce his wife.

She pointed the Heaven-Slaying Sword directly at Yue Buqun and said to Su Qingfeng:

"Lord Wu Xiang, Yue Buqun is utterly despicable. This man must not be allowed to live. Kill him."

"Father, kill this hypocrite! He's not even human!"

"Indeed, he should be killed to prevent him from harming others in the future."

"This kind of person is actually the leader of the Huashan Sect? The Huashan Sect is truly blind!"

Ning Zhongze hurriedly pleaded:

"No, ladies... my daughter is currently in seclusion in a secret chamber, and only Yue Buqun can open it. If he dies, my daughter will be trapped and die inside... I beg you ladies to persuade Lord Wu Xiang to spare him this time!"

Lin Shiyin and the others exchanged bewildered glances. They hadn't expected such a hidden story and were unsure whether to let Su Qingfeng let Yue Buqun go.

Su Qingfeng was speechless after hearing Ning Zhongze's words. He hadn't expected Yue Buqun to have this trick up his sleeve, but he didn't care whether Yue Lingshan lived or died.

He had originally planned to have Murong Bo kill Yue Buqun directly, since Song Qingshu could buy them time; otherwise, Murong Bo might act immediately upon discovering Xiao Feng's absence. Just as he was about to give the order, Shi Feixuan gently tugged at Su Qingfeng's sleeve. Seeing Su Qingfeng's intention, she hurriedly advised, "Su Qingfeng, let this hypocrite go. He poses no threat to us anyway." Wanwan, standing nearby, glared at Shi Feixuan but also chimed in, "Shi Feixuan is right. Yue Buqun can be killed at any time. Let him go this time."

Lin Shiyin was about to speak when Su Qingfeng interrupted her, "Stop, no need to say anything." He understood that these women all wanted him to let Yue Buqun go this time.

Whether or not Yue Buqun was killed was not of great concern to Su Qingfeng. Although the man disgusted him, there was the even more disgusting Duan Zhengchun waiting to be dealt with, and he couldn't be bothered with Yue Buqun's affairs anymore. Su Qingfeng looked at Shi Feixuan and Wanwan and said, "This time, you decide. Whether to kill him or not is your choice." He didn't want to get involved anymore, lest he be accused of showing mercy because of Ning Zhongze, or be called cold-blooded and ruthless.

Shi Feixuan and Wanwan exchanged a glance, and Shi Feixuan said, "Then let Yue Buqun go."

Ning Zhongze, who was listening nearby, quickly said gratefully, "Thank you all. Ning Zhongze will definitely serve Lord Wu Xiang well from now on."

"Holy crap..." Su Qingfeng was stunned. He hadn't expected a female knight like Ning Zhongze to say such a thing, and he was a little embarrassed.

Shi Feixuan and Wanwan stared at Ning Zhongze with their mouths agape, as if they had shot themselves in the foot.

Su Yan stared at the beautiful woman in disbelief, his mind filled with thoughts of: there would be another person in the family, and she was his mother's rival... just thinking about it gave him a headache.

Lin Shiyin and Zhao Min, secretly surprised, glanced at Su Qingfeng and Ning Zhongze, assuming Su Qingfeng was about to take this beautiful woman under his wing again, and couldn't help but cast disdainful looks at him. Su Qingfeng, annoyed by their stares, quickly spoke up:

"Hey, what kind of looks are those? I didn't do anything. This was Shi Feixuan and Wanwan's decision, what does it have to do with me?"

Lin Shiyin glared at him angrily:

"Still trying to deny it! I've seen through you; you're completely captivated by beauty!"

Upon hearing this, Su Qingfeng put on a stern face and threatened her:

"Lin Shiyin, are you looking for a beating? When have I ever stopped moving at the sight of a **? Did I stop moving when I saw you? Did I stop moving when I saw Zhou Zhiruo or Zhao Min? Even when I saw Huang Rong, did I ever stop moving?"

Lin Shiyin hadn't expected his rebuttal, and was both annoyed and confused—she was clearly beautiful, yet this man never gave her a second glance and was always going against her. She stepped forward and grabbed Su Qingfeng's collar, gritting her teeth as she said:

"Su Qingfeng, are you tired of living?"

Zhou Zhiruo, Zhao Min, and Huang Rong also glared angrily at Su Qingfeng.

Why drag me into this?

"Su Qingfeng, what do you mean by that?"

"What have I, Huang Rong, done to offend you? I really want to kill you right now!"

They were furious that Su Qingfeng had compared them to Ning Zhong—Ning Zhong was already married and had children, while they were still unmarried young women.

Ning Zhongze's face turned completely red, and she hurriedly explained:

"Ladies...ladies, please don't misunderstand. I only said that I was willing to be a cow or a servant to Lord Wu Xiang in the future, not that I wanted to be his woman...I misspoke in a moment of excitement."

Su Qingfeng glanced at her helplessly:

"Ning Zhongze, you're not young anymore, you should be more careful with your words. Sometimes saying the wrong thing can kill you... Never mind, you can leave now, I won't kill Yue Buqun."

Ning Zhong hurriedly bowed and thanked him before quickly retreating.

Su Qingfeng turned to look at Murong Bo:

"I won't kill Murong Bo and Yue Buqun, I want to kill someone else."

Murong Bo shook his head:

"Lord Wu Xiang, this is against the rules. Since Yue Buqun has been chosen, he can only be killed or not killed; no one else can be chosen."

Su Qingfeng glanced at him and said nothing more.

"You old scoundrel, I understand. I'll go kill Song Qingshu right now. Yue Buqun, you get out of here right now, or I'll kill you too." "Yes, yes, yes, I'll go kill Song Qingshu right now."

"Thank you, Lord Xie Wuxiang, for sparing my life. Thank you, Lord Xie Wuxiang..."

Watching Murong Bo lead his men away, Su Qingfeng wondered if he would truly go all out to eliminate Song Qingshu this time. But that was enough; Xiao Feng should be finding the person he was looking for soon. Murong Bo was, after all, a Grandmaster; having been played by him for so long, Su Qingfeng had no intention of continuing the game.

At this moment, Liu Teng, the centurion of the Netherworld Legion, stepped forward and saluted:

"Your Majesty, Commander Wang Meng has led 20,000 Xuanwu soldiers to the outside of Xingzilin, awaiting your orders."

Upon hearing that the Xuanwu Legion had arrived, Su Qingfeng immediately gave the order:

"Have Wang Meng be ready to attack at any time. Don't let a single Beggar Clan member here escape. I want Wanyan Kang, the young prince of the Jin Kingdom, and Duan Zhengchun of Dali alive."

"Yes, sir!"

Wanwan asked in confusion:

"Su Qingfeng, when did you mobilize these troops? How come I had no idea?"

Su Qingfeng scoffed lightly:

"Do you think I, the dignified Lord Wu Xiang, would go out without guards? Those woodcutters, martial artists, farmers on the road... they are all elite scouts from the army in disguise."

"Were all the people we met on the road... your people?"

Wanwan was incredulous. She had seen no fewer than a thousand people along the way, and if they were all Su Qingfeng's subordinates, then this man was far too terrifying.

"Mostly."

Wanwan felt dizzy listening to this, and recalling everything that had happened along the way, she couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. She pressed on with her question:

"Then why didn't you let your men rescue you when Shi Feixuan and I were in such a hurry to get there and tied you up to take you away?"

Shi Feixuan also looked over, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Su Qingfeng glanced at the two of them:

"They would never have acted without my order. Besides, if we had tried to rescue them then, the cost would have been enormous. You had no intention of harming me at the time, otherwise you would have been riddled with bullets."

Wanwan patted her heart:

"You're too afraid of death, hiding so many guards when you go out."

She secretly rejoiced that she hadn't attacked Su Qingfeng back then, otherwise she would probably have been killed by a hail of arrows long ago.

Su Qingfeng pulled Wanwan into a hug, kissed her, and said:

"What you're saying is all nonsense. That old fox Murong Bo has been plotting against me in the dark. If I'm not careful, you might really be a widow." Wanwan pushed Su Qingfeng away, saying with a mix of shame and anger, "Pah, who wants to be your wife?"

Su Qingfeng casually put his arm around Shi Feixuan beside him and replied with a smile:

"If you don't want to be my wife, then let Feixuan be my wife all by herself."

Hearing this, Shi Feixuan, held in his arms, blushed and lowered her head. She couldn't tell if Su Qingfeng was being truthful, but a sweet feeling welled up inside her. Seeing Su Qingfeng turn and hug Shi Feixuan, Wanwan grabbed his arm angrily and said, "You don't even spare nuns? Shi Feixuan is a nun, how could she possibly marry you!"

Wanwan was furious—this man had just declared himself his wife, and then immediately abandoned her. Although she had put on a brave front, she was absolutely unwilling to let her nemesis, Shi Feixuan, take Su Qingfeng away.

"Ouch, let go! My arm is going to break... Wanwan, are you trying to cripple me?"

Su Qingfeng hadn't expected this little vixen to be so angry this time; there were still bruises on her arms. He looked at Wanwan helplessly, now unable to explain the nature of their relationship.

But Su Qingfeng would never let go of Wanwan, who was as agile as an elf.

Previously, Su Qingfeng only wished to live a quiet life in Gusu City, but after Zhao Min and Huang Rong analyzed the situation Su Yan was facing for him, he also developed the ambition to control the Song Dynasty.
