I am the snake demon!

I unexpectedly became an apprentice.

But this did not affect Bai Xuan.

However, Huangfu Xiongwen's arrival seemed to usher in a new era, with one after another renowned civil and military officials from the northern border arriving.

Before long, Leng Shih-hu, known as the number one killing god in the North, arrived.

Before the person even arrived, a terrifying aura of malevolence surged forth.

Bai Xuan looked up and saw not a person, but a ferocious beast. He thought to himself, "The name of the God of Slaughter is indeed well-deserved."

However, Leng Shih-hu did not look at him, but instead mourned the passing of the Prince of Zhenbei.

Sensing Leng Shih-hu's genuine emotions, Bai Xuan was slightly moved. This was probably the kind of camaraderie he had never felt before.

Ordinary people come to comfort the bereaved family.

However, Leng Shih-hu needed to be comforted by his two family members, the Princess of Zhenbei and Duan Bai-yu.

"Don't worry, my two sisters-in-law. Even though my elder brother is gone, everything will remain the same. As long as I, Leng Shih-hu, have a breath left, this northern border will forever belong to the Prince of Zhenbei!" Leng Shih-hu said to the Princess of Zhenbei and Duan Baiyu.

"We're all family, why say such things? It's a pity Zhenlan isn't lucky enough to marry Qinghan. But I've already prepared all the necessary documents, and I'll send them to the General of the West's residence later, so it won't delay Qinghan," Princess Zhenbei said regretfully.

"Zhenlan, what a pity!"

Leng Shih-hu also sighed. If Xu Zhenlan hadn't been in trouble, even if it were just the Prince of Zhenbei who was in trouble, it wouldn't have been this troublesome.

After all, Xu Zhenlan was someone he had watched grow up. He was excellent in appearance, literary talent, and martial arts. He was skilled in both martial arts and formations. At the age of twenty, he had reached the seventh rank of the Dao Realm in martial arts, and his formation skills were even comparable to the half-step Tongyou Realm.

His talent is exceptional, rarely seen in the world.

His only flaw was that he inherited his father's womanizing ways.

However, one cannot force the heir of a prince's household to do so.

As for Xu Shi'an, his talent is unknown, his temperament is unclear, and apart from being handsome, there is nothing that he is better than Xu Zhenlan.

Also, the idea of ​​marrying the older brother first and then the younger brother is indeed unpleasant to hear.

Duan Baiyu remained silent. She could chime in on other topics, but when it came to Xu Zhenlan, it was inappropriate for her, who seemed to be a beneficiary, to say anything that might damage their relationship.

Bai Xuan remained silent.

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.

Princess Zhenbei's face immediately darkened. Someone actually dared to cause trouble in front of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, which was tantamount to slapping the face of the entire Northern Territory.

Even the current emperor wouldn't dare to do that!

However, Bai Xuan's expression immediately became subtle, because he had already heard the sound.

"Qinghan, you are not yet married, so you do not need to observe mourning."

"A woman cannot serve two husbands. I, Leng Qinghan, am already engaged to Xu Zhenlan, and the wedding date has been set. I belong to Xu Zhenlan in life and in death. Do not try to stop me!"

……

Bai Xuan desperately suppressed his laughter, but inside he was overjoyed.

As expected, the Prince's mansion has plenty of melons.

I just walked in and I've already stumbled upon another juicy piece of gossip, and I'm about to witness a great show.

This is what life is like.

The previous ten years spent at Yuzhen Temple were truly a waste.

As Bai Xuan sighed, footsteps sounded, and he sensed someone approaching. He saw a slender figure coming from not far away, and his eyes lit up.

The woman had a cold and aloof expression, with beautiful features and a graceful figure. Her snow-white mourning dress accentuated her slender figure, and her waist was so thin that it could be encircled by a single hand. She was shrouded in a cold and desolate aura, which made people want to pity her.

Bai Xuan sighed inwardly, "A woman should be beautiful and filial; the ancients were right."

However, what pleased him most was not the white clothes, but Leng Qinghan's hair, which was styled in a bun.

Unmarried girls do not wear their hair up; only married women do.

Therefore, Leng Qinghan appeared with the makeup of the widow of the Xu family.

If she observes mourning again, she will become the true heir apparent of the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion.

Even though they weren't officially married, no one can deny her marital relationship with Xu Zhenlan.

If Bai Xuan were to marry her, it would be like a younger brother marrying his sister-in-law, which is against propriety.

That's brilliant!

If this hadn't happened, the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion would have issued a document canceling the engagement, and the man and woman would have gone their separate ways.

In that case, Bai Xuan could still marry Leng Qinghan.

It doesn't sound good.

Things are different now.

Unless Bai Xuan and Leng Shih-hu are truly shameless.

Therefore, all the words can be summed up in one sentence.

Sister-in-law, you're awesome!

Bai Xuanzhen was genuinely happy to be disliked for the first time, and couldn't help but show admiration, saying, "Sister-in-law is loyal and righteous, and there is no more chaste and virtuous woman than her in ancient times. She should be a role model for all ages."

Hearing Bai Xuan's sigh, Huangfu Xiongwen secretly shook his head. He was too young and inexperienced in politics. He needed to be properly guided in the future and encouraged to read more history books to learn from history.

Is this a matter of being a role model or not?

Leng Shih-hu and the other two also heard Bai Xuan's words and their expressions varied.

Duan Baiyu was the only one who knew the cause and effect, so he was not surprised by Bai Xuan's reaction. He just thought to himself, "This kid is smart. He managed to lift Leng Shihhu up."

Leng Qinghan is an unavoidable obstacle for Bai Xuan, who impersonates Xu Shi'an, inherits the title of Prince of Zhenbei, and takes control of the northern border.

Marrying her is not an option, because Bai Xuan is not the real Xu Shi'an.

Not marrying her is even worse; if Xu Yanheng or Xu Wenzheng were to marry her, there would be endless troubles.

But if Leng Qinghan were to marry into the family and become a widow, that would be a different story.

Neither Xu Wenzheng nor Xu Yanheng can marry Leng Qinghan in this lifetime, otherwise they will be gossiped about for the rest of their lives.

Unexpectedly, Leng Qinghan solved this seemingly unsolvable problem on her own.

Princess Zhenbei did not speak immediately. Having known each other for decades, how could she, as Leng Shih-hu's sister-in-law, not know his thoughts?

From a broader perspective, the Princess of Zhenbei couldn't object to Leng Qinghan marrying Bai Xuan.

But to say that I have absolutely no lingering resentment would be a lie.

After all, she was originally her son's fiancée.

If it weren't for this accident, I would be calling her my mother-in-law now.

Now that Leng Qinghan has made such a fuss, she is actually quite pleased.

The only one truly enraged was Leng Shih-hu, his eyes wide like a furious black bear. He cursed Bai Xuan for his stupidity and wanted to slap his own daughter, but in front of his elder brother's spirit tablet, he dared not lash out. He roared, "Qinghan, what are you doing?"

With a furious roar, a surge of powerful true energy erupted, and the primordial energy of heaven and earth surged like a tide, the sound waves rolling and pressing down on Leng Qinghan and the others.

Everyone felt their heads spin, and Leng Qinghan felt a chill run down her spine. However, she did not back down at all. A stubborn look appeared on her beautiful face as she said, "Father, Zhenlan and I set our wedding date long ago. I was unable to return for Zhenlan's funeral. Now that my father-in-law has passed away, how can I not come?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? You're not even married into the family yet," Leng Shih-hu said angrily.

"Even if we're not officially married, I'm still a member of the Xu family!" Leng Qinghan retorted without backing down.

You made me marry Xu Zhenlan. Although we've only met a few times, I married you because you told me to.

Now that he's dead, I'll still marry him!

"Qinghan, what are you doing? Zhenlan is gone, but the living still have a future. Your mother and Uncle Leng have already agreed to give you your freedom."

Hearing the commotion, Xu Yanheng rushed over, a look of anxiety in his eyes.

However, in response to his attempt to persuade her to stay, Leng Qinghan simply said, "Brother, please have some self-respect. You should address me as your sister-in-law, not by my given name!"

Xu Yanheng was struck dumb upon hearing this. Leng Shih-hu was known as the God of Slaughter, and he was known as the Little God of Slaughter. He and Leng Qinghan were childhood sweethearts and grew up together, but now all he got in return was a word of self-respect.

Before the spirit tablet, Bai Xuan desperately tried to control himself and not laugh out loud, but inwardly he felt incredibly satisfied, as if he could see Xu Yanheng's nose turning red.

Elder brother, please have some self-respect.

That was a killer shot!

I never expected there would be such a good show at the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion.

Leng Shih-hu wanted his younger brother to marry his sister-in-law, while Xu Yan-heng, the older brother, also wanted to marry his younger brother's wife.

Indeed, as Dream of the Red Chamber says, the cleanest thing in a grand mansion is the stone lion at the entrance.

However, on the other hand, the more shows like this, the better.

If everyone is harmonious, wouldn't he be very bored?
