You've already caught the embroidered ball, and you still say it's not my husband?

Just moments ago, Shen Jinglian was extremely anxious, feeling that Lu Xuan was being reckless and arrogant, and she desperately urged him to run away. She was even prepared to fight to the death...

But in the critical moment, Lu Xuan made a move!

He easily captured more than a hundred bandits, including Huang Laosan, with his powerful and domineering talisman skills!

Using her sword, he executed a sword control technique and instantly slit the throats of all the bandits, thus erasing Huangfeng Village from the list of bandits!

And the whole process... only took a few blinks of an eye!

Glug~

Shen Jinglian couldn't help but swallow hard. She stared blankly at the handsome man beside her, her mind reeling.

She couldn't believe it. Wasn't Lu Xuan's cultivation level lower than hers? How could he be so incredibly powerful?

There is only one explanation—Lu Xuan is definitely not a seventh-rank official!

He is definitely a Qi Refining Realm expert!

They're much stronger than her and Huang Laosan!

Previously, she had foolishly worried about Lu Xuan and insisted on going up the mountain with him, even standing in front of him to protect him in various ways...

"I was so stupid!"

Shen Jinglian suddenly felt like a Muggle, stupid and ridiculous.

She also felt deceived and wronged, and her voice even sounded a little tearful.

"You're clearly already at the Qi Refining Realm, and you're proficient in talismans and sword control, yet you deliberately lied to me and made fun of me!"

"You...bad guy!"

She thought Lu Xuan was deliberately deceiving her and wanted to make a fool of her.

"No... Miss Shen, when did I lie to you?"

Lu Xuan was full of question marks, completely baffled. "Didn't I already tell you on the way here that my cultivation level is a little higher than yours, so my strength will naturally be a little stronger? Where did I lie to you?"

Shen Jinglian recalled carefully that she had asked Lu Xuan about his cultivation level before going up the mountain.

Lu Xuan's answer at the time was: His cultivation level is slightly higher than hers.

however!

Lu Xuan then denied that he was a fifth-rank official or a sixth-rank official. A clever person then used his brain to think that Lu Xuan's first half of the statement was a joke, and that the second half, "neither a fifth-rank nor a sixth-rank official," was the truth!

Then Lu Xuan's cultivation level can only be... seventh rank! (It can't be fourth rank, right?)

But now it seems that the second half of the statement was false, and the first half was true!

Lu Xuan's cultivation level was indeed higher than hers, that is... fifth rank!

At such a young age, she has already reached the fifth rank of cultivation. She is truly amazing and far more powerful than her!

"You bastard, you still say you weren't lying to me! You made me worry for nothing, you...you've gone too far!"

Shen Jinglian's eyes were filled with resentment and grievance. She even wanted to stab Lu Xuan in the chest with her sword, but in the end she changed her mind and punched him with her small fists.

Lu Xuan: "..."

Speechless!

Is it possible that everything he said was true and that he never lied to the other party?

He was inexplicably punched in the chest by this arrogant and somewhat foolish woman in white, who took her anger out on him. He had truly suffered an undeserved misfortune!

"Miss Shen, can you please stop this nonsense? Stop!"

"No, you're the one who lied to me! I'll beat you to death, you bastard!"

"I'm not lying to you, can't you be reasonable?"

"I'll hit it, I'll hit it!"

……

Bao Bulu watched the two, who seemed to be flirting, and couldn't help but roll his eyes: There's a donkey here! Can't you consider the donkey's feelings too?

Rumble~

Just then, the sound of thunderous hooves came from down the mountain.

A large group of people are riding horses up the mountain!

Previously, Shen Jinglian had sent her subordinate Hong'er to Bailian Peak to bring reinforcements, and now they were finally arriving.

Although we arrived a little late...

Shen Jinglian quickly stopped her coquettish and playful actions.

cough cough.

She coughed lightly, straightened up, raised her hand to adjust her clothes, composed herself, and regained her dignified and proper image as the Great King of White Lotus Peak.

Accompanied by the thunderous sound of horses' hooves, Hong'er, one of her subordinates, led a group of women soldiers dressed in red linen clothes and wearing red silk scarves to the mountaintop.

They rushed over from Bailian Peak, knowing that today they would fight to the death with their mortal enemies, Huangfeng Village. Each of them had a resolute expression and sharp eyes!

But when they climbed Huangshi Mountain and saw the corpses lying scattered in Huangfeng Village, they all gasped and were dumbfounded!

More than a hundred bandits from Huangfeng Village... were all dead!

Even the leader, Huang Laosan, had a cut on his neck... all of them had been killed by a single sword to the throat!

sword?

Isn't their king a swordsman?

Looking up, Shen Jinglian's longsword was indeed covered in the enemy's blood, which was still dripping down!

It was obvious... that their leader, wielding a long sword, annihilated the bandits of Huangfeng Village with unparalleled strength!

Call ~

The King is awesome!

"Why are you only arriving now?"

Shen Jinglian looked at Hong'er and the others, her delicate eyebrows slightly raised, as if she were blaming them.

Upon hearing her king's question, Hong'er immediately snapped out of her daze, quickly dismounted, and knelt on one knee, clasping her hands in apology.

"Your Majesty, I am late in protecting you. I humbly request your punishment!"

Bailian Peak is in the next town, some distance from Huangshi Mountain. Even though Hong'er had brought people here at full speed, they were still a little late.

"No need!"

Shen Jinglian spoke calmly, gently shaking off the bloodstains from her sword, and sheathed it with a dashing and handsome air!

In truth, she wasn't blaming her subordinates for being late; she had simply lost her composure in front of Lu Xuan earlier and now needed to regain her dignified demeanor as the Great King of White Lotus Peak, so she was just being serious.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Hong'er and the others stood up, their eyes filled with even greater fervor.

"Your Majesty is mighty, as all witness!"

No one knows who started shouting it, but the worship of this group of women for their leader was like the endless flow of the Yangtze River.

The dam is starting to break!

"Your Majesty bravely stormed Huangfeng Village, single-handedly wiping out the entire village with your sword! Your Majesty is mighty!"

"Your Majesty's swordsmanship must have become even more exquisite! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"It's a pity we arrived too late; we missed witnessing Your Majesty's unparalleled heroism as you bravely fought the enemy!"

Shen Jinglian's expression immediately became tense, and her eyelids twitched violently.

At the very least, we should strive to be realistic and pragmatic, right?

"I didn't kill him!"

She pointed at Lu Xuan beside her, "It was him! He was the one who did it, it has nothing to do with me!"

Upon hearing this, Hong'er and the others were stunned for a moment, and all looked at Lu Xuan.

Their minds worked quickly, and as if they had suddenly realized something, they immediately nodded vigorously, echoing each other's sentiments.

"That's right, Your Majesty is correct, we all understand!"

"This... young master is handsome and capable! He helped our king wipe out Yellow Wind Stronghold!"

"Yes, yes, yes! The King is mighty, and the young master is mighty too! Everyone has witnessed it!"

His subordinates were all convinced that Lu Xuan and their king had wiped out Huangfeng Village.

Because what they were thinking was: the king most likely has taken a fancy to Lu Xuan, that pretty boy!

Otherwise, why would the King risk his life to go up Huangshi Mountain with Lu Xuan? And why would he not hesitate to let Bailian Peak and Huangfeng Village fight each other?

However, their king was too valiant; he had wiped out Huangfeng Village before they even arrived...

then!

In order to make Lu Xuan "win over" as soon as possible and make it easier for him to become the bandit chief in the future, their queen did not hesitate to lie and say that she did not fight the enemy, and put all the credit on Lu Xuan!

It's like Kobe and I scored a whopping 81 points, and afterwards Kobe said it was all my credit and had nothing to do with him!

"My double-digit savings and Musk's wealth combined make me the world's richest person," Musk said at a press conference, adding that his double-digit savings played a crucial role.

I know everything!

They all understand what the King means!
