Yaoyue lay on her side on the couch, her curves fully displayed. Su Qingfeng, gazing at her ample bosom, couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Seeing her languid sleeping posture, he stroked his chin and coughed lightly: "Yaoyue, are you... trying to seduce me?"

Upon hearing this, Yaoyue hurriedly tightened her clothes and angrily said, "Get out! You lecherous scoundrel, your mind is full of filthy thoughts!"

She had only arrived a little earlier and was taking a nap in Su Qingfeng's carriage when this man entered without even noticing her presence. Her speaking just now had allowed him to see her relaxed state, and this bastard even accused her of intentionally provoking him—how hateful!

Watching Yaoyue's captivating beauty, Wanwan felt a pang of envy—such a woman was truly enchanting. Seeing Su Qingfeng's mesmerized expression, she longed to pinch him.

Shi Feixuan lowered her head and remained silent, the tips of her ears turning slightly red. She hadn't expected Yaoyue to have such a stunning figure, and after glancing at herself discreetly, she was speechless for a moment.

Seeing that Yaoyue was embarrassed and annoyed, Su Qingfeng laughed instead: "You can't blame me for this, you let me see it yourself."

Seeing the strange looks in Wanwan and Shi Feixuan's eyes, Yaoyue quickly changed the subject: "Stop talking about that. Why did those martial arts masters come in too?"

Su Qingfeng looked embarrassed. He really didn't want to say that he had lost money gambling, which was why the debt collectors came to his door. He could only vaguely say, "It's a long story... You can ask your sister Lianxing later."

He suddenly remembered his mission to search for Yang Gong's treasure in Luoyang. If he were discovered during the mission, Jingnian Temple would surely obstruct him, and the various sects of the Demonic Sect would likely vie for it as well. Perhaps it would be better to let Yaoyue deal with that madman, Shi Zhixuan.

"Yaoyue, come with me to Luoyang in a few days. I need your help with something."

Yaoyue raised an eyebrow: "I can help you, but I never do anything for free. What will you offer in return?"

Su Qingfeng leaned closer to her, smiling ingratiatingly, "How about I switch places with you?"

Yaoyue blushed and pushed him away: "Don't give me that! What use are you to me?"

"Sigh, we once embraced and relied on each other, how can you be so heartless?"

"Su Qingfeng! Do you really want to die?"

Seeing that she was about to get angry, Su Qingfeng quickly pulled her back. The matter of Yang Gong's treasure had to be revealed now—he hadn't intended to hide it from Yaoyue anyway. Although their relationship was complicated, he trusted that she wouldn't harm him, and she would definitely accompany him to Luoyang this time.

Su Qingfeng gently pressed Yaoyue down to sit beside him and then wrapped his arms around her.

"Don't be angry, I was just mentioning it casually. Yaoyue, there's a Yang Gong treasure in Luoyang, and I'm worried that Evil King Shi Zhixuan and those monks from Jingnian Temple might come and cause trouble. With you and Lianxing, two Grandmasters, here, I'm not afraid of them trying to steal it."

Upon hearing Su Qingfeng mention Yang Gong's treasure, Wanwan immediately moved closer to him and took his arm. She knew in her heart that the treasure contained the Evil Emperor's Relic of the Demonic Sect—if Su Qingfeng could bring it to his master, Zhu Yuyan, his master would surely be able to break through to the Grandmaster level.

If Shi Zhixuan hadn't deceived her master's feelings back then, Wanwan believed that Zhu Yuyan would have been a Grandmaster decades ago. Now that Su Qingfeng knows the location of Yang Gong's treasure, Wanwan naturally wants to obtain the Evil Emperor's Relic for her master. She also understands that this will put Su Qingfeng at a disadvantage, and secretly plans to compensate him more in the future, since... she'll probably be bullied by him to the very end from now on.

She held Su Qingfeng tightly, asking anxiously, "Su Qingfeng, is the Yang Gong treasure you mentioned before really in Luoyang?"

Su Qingfeng chuckled and pinched her cheek: "Yes, Wanwan, you'd better make it up to me. I plan to let you and your master absorb that Evil Emperor's Relic together."

Wanwan's eyes widened: "Really?"

"Fake."

"You bastard! I'll bite you!"

Seeing that Wanwan was really about to bite, Su Qingfeng quickly pulled her into his arms and held her down: "Okay, okay, it's true. I've already talked to your master, the Evil Emperor's Relic belongs to you two."

"That's more like it."

Seeing Su Qingfeng treating Wanwan so well again, Shi Feixuan felt a pang of resentment. She had never received any help from Su Qingfeng, yet Wanwan had benefited several times, and now even the Evil Emperor's Relic was going to be given to her. If Wanwan truly absorbed the relic, the gap between their martial arts would likely widen even further. Shi Feixuan silently lowered her head.

Su Qingfeng noticed her low spirits and guessed she was jealous. He had no other way to improve Shi Feixuan's cultivation at the moment. He had originally kept ten Vermilion Fruits for emergencies, but seeing her distress, he decided to give her one. Anyway, Wanwan had the Evil Emperor's Relic and didn't need the Vermilion Fruits; keeping two for himself would be enough.

He released Wanwan and Yaoyue, walked up to Shi Feixuan, gently hugged her and kissed her: "Feixuan, I've already talked to your master, and I'll help you raise your skill level to the same level as Wanwan. I will never let that little vixen surpass you."

Yaoyue scoffed from the side, "You make it sound so real. How can someone who doesn't know martial arts help others improve their cultivation? This kind of guy who only deceives women should be dragged out and castrated."

Su Qingfeng held Shi Feixuan in his arms, utterly helpless against Yaoyue. Why was this woman also going against him? He would definitely have to teach this crazy woman a lesson in the future.

"Hey, Yaoyue, which eye of yours saw that I can't help people improve their cultivation? What if I raise Shi Feixuan to the late stage or even the peak of the Grandmaster realm? What will you do then?"

Upon hearing this, Yaoyue burst into laughter:

"Alright, bring it up now. If you can get her to the late Grandmaster stage, I'll let you do whatever you want with her."

"Yaoyue, if I wanted you..."

Before Su Qingfeng could finish speaking, Wanwan pinched him hard on the waist, causing him to wince in pain. Seeing this, Yaoyue immediately pulled him away. Shi Feixuan wanted to help, but having been injured by Wanwan earlier, she didn't have time to intervene and could only anxiously try to snatch Su Qingfeng back.

Wanwan stopped her:

"What's the rush? Su Qingfeng will be fine. Besides, Yaoyue is a Grandmaster; can you even save her?"

"Witch, it's all your fault! If it weren't for you, Su Qingfeng wouldn't have offended Yaoyue."

"Ha, how would I know what nonsense that bastard is going to spout? Don't worry, I guarantee Su Qingfeng won't die."

Shi Feixuan glared at Wanwan, then nervously looked at Yaoyue, fearing that she might slap Su Qingfeng in a fit of anger. However, hearing that Su Qingfeng hadn't forgotten her warmed her heart. Although she didn't know if he could truly help her break through, those words were enough for Shi Feixuan.

At this time, after Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling returned to Yangzhou City, they accidentally obtained Su Qingfeng's fake "Longevity Manual".

They had just obtained the manual when they were targeted by some martial arts figures, forcing them to secretly flee the city. Despite their extreme caution, they were recognized as soon as they left the city gates. Once the news spread, martial arts figures throughout Yangzhou rushed out to hunt down the two scoundrels.

When people outside the city heard that the "Longevity Manual" was in the hands of these two, tens of thousands of martial artists hurriedly searched for Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. Even most of the experts who had been watching the battle from Su Qingfeng's side left their ranks to chase after them.

In the end, only a handful of people remained, including Lianxing, Zhu Yuyan, and Han Fei. Even Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing went out to find those two thugs—after all, the "Longevity Manual" was related to the mystery of immortality, and no one wanted to miss it, so they couldn't even care less about the upcoming battle.

Seeing everyone heading towards the Longevity Manual, Zi Nu and Han Fei felt helpless. Although they were also quite interested in the manual, their only reliable ally, Wei Zhuang, was currently engaged in a contest with Ximen Chuixue, leaving them powerless to compete for it on their own.

Zi Nu stood beside Han Fei, watching the fight between Wei Zhuang and Ximen Chuixue, and said:

"Wei Zhuang is no match for Ximen Chuixue. This time, Ximen Chuixue suppressed his cultivation to the early stage of Grandmaster, also because he did not want to win unfairly."

"Wei Zhuang used his ultimate moves several times, but Ximen Chuixue easily neutralized them all. Now, Wei Zhuang has exhausted most of his true energy, yet Ximen Chuixue has never retaliated. In this battle, Wei Zhuang should be convinced of his defeat."

Han Fei smiled and said to Zi Nu:

"After this battle, Brother Wei Zhuang will surely make even greater progress in the future."

Zi Nu firmly believed this as well. With Ximen Chuixue's guidance, Wei Zhuang would surely be able to hone his swordsmanship upon returning. "Yes, he must have gained a lot of swordsmanship insights from Ximen Chuixue; his swordsmanship will definitely improve greatly in the future."

Han Fei suddenly asked Zi Nu:

"By the way, Miss Zi Nu, did you also receive a promise from Lord Wu Xiang?"

Han Fei knew that Lord Wu Xiang had just agreed to those women's request. This promise could be big or small; if it were in his hands, he would certainly ask Lord Wu Xiang to send troops to help Han resist Qin. But those江湖人 (jianghu people) mostly only wanted small favors or money, so giving this promise to them was somewhat of a waste.

Zi Nu frowned and shook her head:

"No, I don't need it. Besides, that Lord Wu Xiang is clearly a scoundrel, and my silver notes are a complete waste—he took the money and has no intention of returning it."

"Even after losing a bet with Lu Xiaofeng, he didn't honor the agreement. I'm not going to bother with such a scoundrel. I'll just consider that silver note lost."

Zi Nu had stopped paying attention to Wu Xiangjun after witnessing his handling of the women, as she had already discerned his despicable character. Besides, those women each had their own agendas and didn't truly need the promise; Zi Nu naturally didn't wish to get involved.

Han Fei felt a pity upon hearing this. Such a good opportunity had been let go by Zi Nu, and he couldn't help but glance enviously in the direction of the carriage.

He thought that Lord Wu Xiang alone was enough to destroy the state of Han, not to mention the powerful women behind him. If he were to gain their assistance, his power would be unimaginable.

Han Fei thought for a moment, then smiled and said to Zi Nu:

"This Lord Wu Xiang is indeed somewhat absurd, but his power is truly considerable. I also can't understand how someone who spends his days idly wandering around and attracting attention could wield such great power?"

Zi Nu glanced at Han Fei, and said with a hint of mockery:

"Ninth Prince, you're not feeling good about it, are you? This Lord Wu Xiang is much more impressive than you, the Prince of Han."

"He doesn't know martial arts, just like you, but look at his army—this isn't something he brought from Suzhou. He can mobilize such elite troops even while still in the Sui Dynasty. If he were in the Eastern Continent, do you think he could command the armies of other countries?"

"Besides, all his female confidantes are either grandmasters or great grandmasters. And you? You don't have a single one who's powerful. Aren't you envious?"

Han Fei nodded immediately, glancing at Zhu Yuyan and Lianxing beside him, his eyes filled with envy:

"How could I not be envious? Every man would be green with envy. Yaoyue and Lianxing of Yihua Palace, Zhu Yuyan of Yinkui Sect, Fan Qinghui of Cihang Jingzhai, and even Grandmaster's wife of Su Qingfeng... Even Dongjun of Yin Yang School has become his woman. This Wu Xiangjun is simply going to turn the world upside down."

He turned to Zi Nu and said, half-jokingly:

"Zi Nu, why don't you become my confidante? At least I'll have someone to rely on."
