Hearing Su Qingfeng repeatedly call me a "vicious woman," Shi Guanyin frowned and warned, "Su Qingfeng, if you keep calling me that, you won't be leaving either."

"My apologies, my apologies, it was a slip of the tongue. Please forgive me, I'm very magnanimous."

Yu Chuhong and Dugu Feng listened from the side, looking at the veiled woman in shock—they never expected her to be a terrestrial immortal from the Celestial Realm.

The two women were startled, and it seemed this deity had a grudge against Lord Wu Xiang. They looked at Su Qingfeng, speechless for a moment.

This Lord Wu Xiang is really courting death, daring to offend even a terrestrial immortal in the Celestial Realm.

"Su Qingfeng, you have to save me this time! You can't go back on your word!"

Su Qingfeng looked at Zhu Qiqi and sighed inwardly. If she had known this would happen, why did she write that promise in the first place?

He was now in a dilemma. If he didn't save Zhu Qiqi, what would the others think of him? Although Su Qingfeng didn't care about his reputation, if he really stood by and watched her die, people would probably have a negative opinion of him, since he had personally promised to do so.

Su Qingfeng glanced at Zhu Qiqi, then turned to You Chuhong of the Dugu Clan and said:

"Madam You, please take these friends of mine back to your residence to rest. I will arrive shortly."

You Chuhong glanced at Lu Xiaofeng and his group. These young people were all rising stars in the martial arts world, having already reached the Grandmaster level at such a young age. She really wanted her granddaughter, Dugu Feng, to get to know them. You Chuhong smiled and said to Su Qingfeng, "Alright, I promise you."

"Lu Xiaoji, you take everyone to the Dugu residence and wait for me. Guanguan, you and Shi Feixuan come along too. I can handle things here; it's not safe for you to stay."

Lu Xiaofeng and the others looked worried. They knew that Su Qingfeng was here to save Zhu Qiqi, but his opponent was, after all, a terrestrial immortal of the Celestial Realm. Although Su Qingfeng had just narrowly defeated Shi Guanyin, no one knew whether he would be in danger if he stayed behind alone.

Lu Xiaofeng asked seriously, "Su Qingfeng, are you really okay on your own? Or should I stay and help you?"

Lu Xiaofeng greatly admired Su Qingfeng, and Su Qingfeng's keeping of his promise this time made him regard him as a sworn brother. Although he wanted to persuade Su Qingfeng to give up saving Zhu Qiqi, he couldn't bring himself to do so—that would violate his principles. Therefore, Lu Xiaofeng only wanted to stay and face Shi Guanyin with Su Qingfeng.

Su Qingfeng gave a wink and said, "Help what? Lu Xiaoji, quickly take Sikong Zhaixing and Ximen Chuixue away."

Seeing Su Qingfeng's subtle signal, Lu Xiaofeng understood that he might have a way to escape. Although he didn't know the specifics, Lu Xiaofeng chose to trust Su Qingfeng—this guy always had a knack for dealing with women. "Alright, then we'll wait for you at the Dugu residence."

Su Qingfeng hugged Guan Guan and Shi Feixuan, kissed them each, and said, "Guan Guan, Feixuan, you should leave first. I'll be fine."

Wan Guan and Shi Feixuan exchanged a glance and decided to trust Su Qingfeng. His teleportation ability was extremely high; if he truly wanted to leave, Shi Guanyin certainly couldn't stop him. If they stayed, they might only be a burden to Su Qingfeng. "You be careful, if things get tough, run away quickly." "Su Qingfeng, I'll wait for you to come back."

Only Shi Guanyin, Zhu Qiqi, Ning Daoqi, and Su Qingfeng remained in the courtyard. After Lu Xiaofeng and the others left, the courtyard became quiet.

Zhu Qiqi clung tightly to Su Qingfeng's clothes, not daring to let go. Su Qingfeng was her only support now; if he left too, she would truly be doomed.

Seeing her frightened, Su Qingfeng let her hold on. Right now, he needed to figure out how to get Shi Guanyin to let Zhu Qiqi go. As for Ning Daoqi, who remained silent, Su Qingfeng had no intention of getting involved—he had no interest in saving the old man.

Shi Guanyin sat on the stone bench, watching Su Qingfeng with great interest. The initiative was back in her hands, and she wanted to see how this guy planned to save this little brat.

Su Qingfeng felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze, so he coughed lightly and said:

"Ahem, Shi Guanyin, what will it take for you to release Zhu Qiqi?" Shi Guanyin blinked and said with a smile:

"Heh, why would I let her go? I'm a ruthless woman who doesn't even blink an eye. Do you think I'd let someone go?"

Su Qingfeng felt disgusted just seeing her wink at him. This woman was promiscuous; no matter how beautiful she was, he had no interest in her. "Stop with the nonsense. I know what you're thinking; just state your conditions."

boom!boom!

Suddenly, Shi Guanyin struck, knocking Zhu Qiqi and Ning Daoqi unconscious and then striking their pressure points.

"Don't worry, they're just knocked out. They're not entitled to hear our conversation. As for whether they live or die afterward... that's up to you." Su Qingfeng picked up the unconscious Zhu Qiqi, sat down opposite Shi Guanyin, and looked at the face behind the veil, saying:

"Shi Guanyin, no, I should call you Li Qi—you are Li Qi, the sole survivor of the Huangshan family, which was wiped out decades ago, aren't you?"

"How...how did you know?!"

Shi Guanyin was taken aback. Since that tragedy decades ago, the name "Li Qi" had long since disappeared, and no one in the world should know it. Su Qingfeng's revelation of it surprised her greatly.

"I know a lot more, such as your journey to Japan, your marriage to Tenka Jushiro, and the two sons you bore for him, and..."

boom!

"Shut up! Are you crazy!"

Su Qingfeng did not expect Shi Guanyin to make a sudden move. Fortunately, he had been on guard, otherwise he and Zhu Qiqi would have been killed by her with a single palm strike.

He teleported away with Zhu Qiqi in his arms, then looked at the furious Shi Guanyin. He hadn't expected that bringing up the past would agitate her so much—did she intend to silence her?

"You utterly despicable bastard, how dare you slander me like this! I'll kill you!"

"Wait, Shi Guanyin, how did I slander you? I'm telling the truth. Are you trying to cover it up by silencing me?"

Shi Guanyin trembled with rage. Though she wasn't a good person, she couldn't tolerate Su Qingfeng's fabricated story—what did she mean by marrying into Japan and having two children? How could this not enrage her?

"I'm not hiding anything! I've never been to Japan! You bastard, you dare say I'm married and have children... I swear I'll kill you today!"

"Wait, wait a minute! Shi Guanyin, you really haven't been to Japan? And you don't know Tenkazushiro?"

Su Qingfeng hurriedly waved his hand to stop her, a question forming in his mind. Shi Guanyin had never been to Fusang? How could that be... In the original story, she clearly married Tianfeng Shisilang; he couldn't possibly be mistaken.

"I've never been to Japan, and I don't know Tenkazu Shiro. Su Qingfeng, do you have any more questions? If not, then prepare to die."

"Damn it," Su Qingfeng was dumbfounded. Shi Guanyin hadn't gone to Fusang at all, so she definitely didn't know any Tianfeng Shisilang. Su Qingfeng cursed inwardly, "I've messed up again." Seeing Shi Guanyin raise her palm, he shrank back instinctively.

"Um... Li Qi, I misremembered... Can you let me off this time?"

What do you think?

"I think you'll let me off the hook."

"Dream on! Prepare to die!"

Shi Guanyin pushed with both hands, striking towards Su Qingfeng from a distance. Su Qingfeng quickly teleported away, but did not notice that the moment he disappeared, Shi Guanyin had already swiftly unleashed palm strikes in all directions.

Boom boom boom boom boom—cough cough!

Su Qingfeng had just appeared on the other side when he was blasted away. He crashed to the ground, spitting out blood, and stared at Shi Guanyin in disbelief.

Unexpectedly, she used a wide-range attack this time. If she had known this would happen, she would have just taken Zhu Qiqi and run away. Zhu Qiqi's fate is unknown now... Su Qingfeng clutched her stomach, feeling as if her internal organs had shifted.

Upon seeing Su Qingfeng fall to the ground, Shi Guanyin immediately flashed to his side and lifted him up. This time, she absolutely couldn't let him escape again. Her movements were lightning-fast, striking several acupoints on Su Qingfeng's body—this fellow's escape skills were too formidable; she had to be on guard.

"You bastard, you're finally in my hands. Let's see where you can run now!"

"Damn it! Shi Guanyin Li Qi, I only said one wrong thing, right? Even if you've never been to Japan or aren't married, you don't have to be this cruel!" "Just think about how I'll torture you. You damn bitch."

After speaking, Shi Guanyin picked up Su Qingfeng and flew out of the courtyard. She wanted to find a secluded place to properly deal with this troublemaker.

Not long after the two left, Lu Xiaofeng and the others returned. They hadn't actually gone far; they had been secretly observing from the vicinity. Hearing the loud noise from the villa, they knew something had happened.

Lu Xiaofeng rushed into the courtyard, only to find it in complete disarray. They found the injured Zhu Qiqi and Ning Daoqi in a corner. Lu Xiaofeng's expression was grave:

"Su Qingfeng and Shi Guanyin are missing, and Zhu Qiqi and Ning Daoqi are both injured."

Wanwan and Shi Feixuan searched the surrounding area but couldn't find Su Qingfeng, growing increasingly anxious. Huang Xuemei, holding Zhu Qiqi, saw their uneasy expressions and comforted them:

"Don't worry, Su Qingfeng is extremely fast. Maybe he escaped first and Shi Guanyin chased after him."

Huang Xuemei felt guilty. If she hadn't sent Su Qingfeng to rescue Zhu Qiqi, perhaps this wouldn't have happened. Now, Su Qingfeng's whereabouts were unknown, and his fate was uncertain.

"This is really going to be a big problem. If Su Qingfeng's wives find out he's missing, they'll probably lead their troops north immediately."

Three days later, Murong Qiudi of Yangzhou learned of Su Qingfeng's disappearance in Luoyang and immediately dispatched ten thousand Netherworld Iron Cavalry to Luoyang. With Su Qingfeng's fate unknown, she could only secure Luoyang first and then search for her slowly.

Luoyang was in chaos. Zhu Yuyan of the Yin Kui Sect and Fan Qinghui of the Cihang Jingzhai Sect rushed over, and even Yaoyue and Lianxing of the Yihua Palace arrived in the city. The Dugu Mansion became the temporary residence for these women, and the guards inside were taken over by the Cihang Jingzhai and Yin Kui Sects. The flower servants of the Yihua Palace were also searching for Su Qingfeng's whereabouts around Luoyang.

Prince Yang Lin led his troops into Luoyang. He knew that this Wu Xiangjun was the future emperor of the Song Dynasty. His spies reported that Wu Xiangjun's army had occupied the southern part of the Song Dynasty and was stationed on the border of Dali. Originally, the Song Dynasty wanted to send troops to punish him, but because the Western Xia had stationed more than 200,000 troops in the north and the Yuan Dynasty had also sent more than 100,000 troops to attack, the Song Dynasty had to turn to deal with the two countries and temporarily put aside its actions against Wu Xiangjun.

Prince Kao Shan had suspected that Wu Xiangjun was colluding with the Western Xia and the Yuan Dynasty, but later learned that the old lady of Su Qingfeng's family was actually the Queen Dowager of Western Xia and actually controlled the Western Xia court. Moreover, the general leading the Yuan army this time was none other than Princess Zhao Min, Su Qingfeng's confidante. This news shocked Prince Kao Shan.
