In the Demon Suppression Division: Crimson Words Nurture the Blade, Slaying Demons to Prove the Dao

That dignified and graceful young woman was incredibly beautiful; one glance from her inspired a feeling of closeness.

Every smile and frown exudes a vibrant charm and graceful elegance.

Wei Xuanfeng sighed inwardly...

The young woman's appearance and figure were no less impressive than Jiao Yu's.

"Young mistress, the master..."

A pretty maidservant helped the radiant and charming young woman and said.

Wei Xuanfeng overheard the conversation between the master and servant in the dark and seemed to be deep in thought.

According to the customs and etiquette of this world.

The only person in the entire Gongsun household who fits this description is Gongsun Rong's wife.

And the master the maid mentioned, could he be her father-in-law?

Gongsun Zhen, the head of the Gongsun family.

Perhaps through her, we can find some clues about Hu Murong from Gongsun Zhen.

"Xiao Lian, lead the way," the young woman said softly.

"Yes, young mistress."

The master and servant walked one after the other toward an elegant garden.

Wei Xuanfeng watched the two figures as they walked away and nodded to himself.

Exquisite! This young woman is truly exquisite.

There are indeed women in the world, with enchanting faces and wanton behavior, who arouse the imagination at first sight and lead one straight to the bedroom.

But there is another type of woman who appears dignified, elegant, gentle, and quiet. Yet, when a man first sees her, the thought that arises in his heart is also that he wants to hold her in his arms and cherish her as he pleases.

But even within that unrestrained spirit, there was always a touch of tenderness, a desire to cherish what one had...

This is the difference between outward charm and inner charm.

This young woman was clearly the latter, possessing an innate allure.

When she speaks, her words have a unique rhythm and cadence, her voice is languid and sweet, and her demeanor is intoxicating. Most men would willingly succumb to her charm after just one sentence.

If Wei Xuanfeng hadn't been so resolute, he would probably have already fallen at her feet under the combined assault of her beauty and voice.

"By the way, where did the young master go?"

"This...this...Xiao Lian doesn't know..." the maid replied.

"Is it that they don't know... or that they dare not say..."

"Young mistress, Xiaolian really doesn't know!"

"Whatever, it doesn't matter..."

The young woman smiled noncommittally, but a hint of mockery crept into her lips.

Wei Xuanfeng thought to himself, "Just as I thought..."

Gongsun Rong probably held no weight in her heart; otherwise, a woman would never have such an expression when talking about her husband.

"Why haven't I seen the master?" the young woman asked casually.

Wei Xuanfeng's gaze shifted slightly, for he keenly caught a fleeting glint of light in her eyes...

That kind of radiance only shines in a woman's eyes when she is facing the one she loves.

Tut tut...

Wei Xuanfeng originally thought that the young woman was forced by her father-in-law and that she was powerless to resist, so she could only silently endure this humiliating incestuous relationship.

Now it seems...

They're clearly a pair of scoundrels, both with mutual affection...

Wei Xuanfeng couldn't help but wonder...

What kind of methods did Gongsun Zhen possess that could make such a heavenly woman willingly become his secret lover?

"Master has gone out to discuss matters and has not yet returned," the maidservant replied without hesitation.

"Mm." The young woman nodded slightly. "Then let's go back."

After speaking, she gracefully moved with light, quick steps and disappeared at the end of the corridor in the blink of an eye.

After the group of people dispersed, Wei Xuanfeng quietly leaped down from the crossbeam.

This scene made him realize even more deeply how many unsavory deeds were hidden within these grand mansions.

He continued searching the mansion for Hu Murong's whereabouts, but after searching everywhere, he still could not find him.

"It seems we'll have to wait for Gongsun Zhen to return to his residence before secretly following him."

Wei Xuanfeng made up his mind. At the same time, he was secretly astonished that the security at the Gongsun residence was in no way inferior to that of the Northern Garrison Command...

The mansion was heavily guarded by hidden agents, all highly skilled, making it virtually impenetrable. Even with his current skill and agility, he nearly exposed himself several times.

Just as I was pondering this, a sudden, sharp gong rang out in the silent night...

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Immediately afterwards, shouts rang out from all sides: "Assassin! Assassin!"

Wei Xuanfeng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly slipped behind a rockery, thinking to himself...

I have clearly been proceeding cautiously and meticulously, so how could anyone have noticed?

He wasn't worried about his own safety, but he had finally found a clue about Hu Murong, and he was afraid that if he made a scene, he would alert Hu Murong and all his previous efforts would be in vain.

Wei Xuanfeng immediately realized...

It wasn't he who exposed his whereabouts, but rather another night owl who sneaked into the Gongsun residence under cover of darkness.

"Could it be that Wen Shihan deliberately made a scene to cover for me?"

The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. He originally wanted to go and meet him, but then he thought of Wen Shihan's superb lightness skill and figured that even the guards of the Gongsun Mansion would have a hard time catching up with him.

Even though the mansion is full of experts, Wen Shihan is capable of protecting herself.

Even if he were captured, given his status as a minor officer in the Northern Garrison, his life should not be in danger.

Wei Xuanfeng had just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Gongsun residence suddenly erupt in chaos...

A large number of guards quickly assembled, and spies from various places also appeared.

"An assassin broke into the manor. The old patriarch has ordered that, to prevent the thieves from reaching our area, we must immediately activate the highest level of alert."

A man who appeared to be the leader raised his voice and gave the order.

"yes!"

The crowd responded with thunderous applause, scattering in an orderly fashion to take their positions and begin patrolling.

Wei Xuanfeng secretly groaned in despair.

His lightness skill was indeed superb, allowing him to come and go freely even deep inside the Gongsun residence.

But that was entirely due to the fact that the defenders were completely unaware, which allowed him to take advantage of that fleeting gap and use his light-footed skills to break through the defenses.

But now the entire prefecture's defenses are already in full operation, with guards every three steps and sentries every five steps. Where is there even a tiny gap to exploit?

"What a nightmare!" he cursed under his breath, noticing a group of guards searching in his direction. He immediately gathered his strength and leaped away from where he stood.

Having dodged and weaved his way through the journey, narrowly avoiding revealing himself several times, Wei Xuanfeng's forehead was already beaded with cold sweat, and he was filled with resentment...

If it weren't for rescuing Hu Murong, he would have razed the Gongsun mansion to the ground long ago.

The person who designed the defenses of this mansion must have been a master.

Once this highest level of alert was deployed, even someone as skilled as Wei Xuanfeng found it difficult to move forward.

In just half an hour, he had evaded more than a dozen rounds of searches, but he was still being relentlessly pursued and gradually found himself in a predicament.

He keenly sensed that there were guards on both sides and sentries closing in from the front, effectively blocking all hiding places. In just a few breaths, he would have nowhere to hide.

Wei Xuanfeng gritted his teeth and pondered, just as he was about to force his way in and fight, a door suddenly creaked open not far away, and a bright and charming young woman stood inside, looking out with a puzzled expression...

It was the same person I had just seen.

In a moment of quick thinking, Wei Xuanfeng darted into her room.

The young woman felt a blur before her eyes, and before she could see the person's face clearly, someone covered her mouth from behind.

Wei Xuanfeng lowered his voice and ordered sternly, "Close the door and don't make a sound."

At that moment, a sudden realization dawned on me...

No wonder there are several squads of guards patrolling back and forth here; it turns out that an important person lives here.

He had stumbled upon this young woman by accident, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

The young woman was initially terrified, her face turning pale and she kept whimpering. However, her gaze happened to fall on the wrist where he was covering his mouth, and she saw the familiar pattern on the cuff. She was startled, but then quickly calmed down.

"Very good, as long as you cooperate obediently, I naturally won't hurt you."

Noticing her sudden change in mood, Wei Xuanfeng loosened his grip slightly, but remained vigilant, ready to subdue her before she could utter a sound if she made the slightest move.

"Why are you still so reckless and impulsive?"

The young woman even spoke with a hint of reproach, complaining in a coquettish voice.

Wei Xuanfeng was stunned for a moment. What was going on?

Not only was she not afraid at all, but she seemed to be acting coquettishly.

Could this be the late stage of what people commonly refer to as "Stockholm Syndrome"?

He muttered to himself.

"Young Madam, there is a risk of assassins breaking into the mansion. I need to search the house to ensure your safety."

Suddenly, there was a knocking sound and a report coming from outside the door.

Wei Xuanfeng immediately tensed up, put his arm around the young woman's waist again, and covered her mouth with one hand, afraid that she would raise her voice to warn him.

As they embraced, a sweet and delicate fragrance wafted into his nostrils, and her body was so supple and boneless that even in the midst of danger, he couldn't help but feel a slight flutter in his heart.

The young woman reached out to pry his hand off his mouth, but to no avail. Frustrated and anxious, she stomped her foot.

Wei Xuanfeng couldn't possibly guess what she was thinking, so how could he dare to let go?

They could only secretly hope that the person outside the door would leave soon.

"Young mistress?"

The person outside called out a few more times, but when there was no response from inside, they couldn't help but exclaim, "Something seems off?"

Wei Xuanfeng was secretly amazed...

These guards were all among the elite, and he sighed with admiration while remaining tense and not daring to relax for a moment.

But just then, a moist, warm, and unusually slippery sensation suddenly came from my palm.

He lowered his gaze in disbelief, looking at the woman in his arms...

She was gently licking his palm with the tip of her tongue.

Wei Xuanfeng suddenly felt that his mind was a little stuck.

He had long heard that this young woman was promiscuous, but he never expected her to be so wanton...

She would casually bump into any man and become friendly with him, even if that man was a potential assassin who broke into her residence at night.

Her teasing only made him more agitated, and he involuntarily let go of her hand.

Only then did the young woman lower her voice and whisper, "Quick, go to bed."

"Huh?" After this series of changes, Wei Xuanfeng was almost numb.

Anyway, I'm skilled and daring, so I'm not afraid of any traps or ambushes on the bed.

Hearing that the guards outside might break down the door at any moment, he simply grabbed the young woman's slender waist and leaped onto the bed.

The curtains had just fallen when the guards burst through the door, calling out, "Young Madam?"

The crowd did not rush forward...

After all, there is a distinction between master and servant, and men and women should be kept separate. If the young woman is just sleeping too soundly to hear anything, and they rashly barge in and stumble upon something they shouldn't see, they might not be able to handle the consequences later.

But then I thought, the sound of banging on the door was so loud that even the deepest sleeper should be awakened. If no one answered, then something must have really happened.

The gauze curtains swayed slightly, but there was no response from inside.

The guards looked at each other in confusion, and then, with a series of sharp sounds as blades were drawn, they all drew their weapons at the same time.

"What's all the noise about? Can't a person have some peace and quiet?"

Just then, a slightly annoyed scolding came from the bed. A slender, white hand reached out from inside the bed curtains, lifting a corner of the curtain. Then, she stepped down gracefully, her clothes slightly disheveled, her face full of anger.

"I have offended you."

The head guard immediately bowed and apologized, then briefly explained the situation of the assassination attempt at the West Mansion and the activation of the highest alert level throughout the mansion.

He looked her over carefully and saw that the young woman was calm and composed. After getting off the bed, she stood calmly in front of him, with no one else within three feet of her. Clearly, she was not being held hostage.

"Highest alert level?"

The young woman was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but quickly recovered and waved her hand, saying...

"What does the assassination attempt in the Western Prefecture have to do with us? You may all leave now; I need to rest."

"yes!"

The leader acknowledged the order and led his men out quickly. Before closing the door, he added, "Young Madam, please stay in your room for the next few days and do not go out."

The young woman neither agreed nor disagreed, only giving him a reproachful glare before walking over and bolting the door from the inside without saying a word.

As the head guard stepped out of the room, the image of her alluring glance at him at parting still lingered in his mind. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he swallowed hard, a fleeting, sensual thought rising in his heart…

The young mistress is truly a captivating beauty; if I could spend a night with her, I would gladly shorten my lifespan by ten years...

Wei Xuanfeng thought to himself that such thoughts were only meant to be kept in his mind; if even a whisper of them were to leak out, he would likely die a horrible death.

As the footsteps behind the door faded into the distance, the young woman finally breathed a sigh of relief, a sweet smile appearing on her lips. She jogged back to the bedside, pointed her slender finger at the man on the bed, and said reproachfully.

"You're getting bolder and bolder!"

Wei Xuanfeng was slightly taken aback.

He had been wondering why the young woman was so proactive in covering for him, and his previous assumption that she was promiscuous and would fawn over any man she saw had long been overturned...

Even the most womanizer wouldn't stoop to this level. Now, hearing the coquettishness and intimacy in her tone, he immediately understood.

She had clearly mistaken herself for someone else.

He had probably arranged to meet someone here in secret tonight, and he just happened to stumble in by mistake.

"This woman is really carefree. She didn't even see the other person's face clearly before she took the initiative to get close to him. Isn't she afraid of being taken advantage of?" Wei Xuanfeng clicked his tongue in amazement.

However, when his gaze fell on his own cuffs, he immediately understood...

Just now, he changed into Gongsun Rong's clothes as a precaution. When he subdued the young woman from behind, she caught a glimpse of the pattern on the sleeve and recognized it as her husband's clothes, which made her completely lower her guard.

Furthermore, since there were no lights or candles lit inside, it was completely dark. Although Wei Xuanfeng could use the faint moonlight streaming in from the window to make out the young woman's face with his internal energy, she was completely ignorant of martial arts and could not recognize him at all.

Just as he was lost in thought, a soft, smooth body pressed against him, its arms gently encircling his waist, its cheek resting against his chest, whispering softly.

"That's too risky of you. What if someone sees you? How will you face anyone after that?"

The almost coquettish soft words, accompanied by the gentle wriggling of the delicate body in his arms, made Wei Xuanfeng feel his mouth go dry, yet his doubts only grew stronger...

You are husband and wife, so even if you are seen, what is there to be ashamed of?

"Um……"

He knew that his silence would inevitably arouse her suspicion. He wanted to imitate Gongsun Rong's voice to give her a few perfunctory words, but he suddenly became alert when the words were about to come out, and in the end he just gave a vague hum.

"I heard from the maid today that my husband hasn't come back all day. I immediately guessed that you must have found a way to send him away. But the mansion is under martial law, and you still dared to sneak in and steal a kiss. Your audacity is truly growing..."

The young woman complained softly, but her tone was full of reproach.

"If this gets back to our ancestors, we'll see how you handle it."

Wei Xuanfeng was stunned by the implied meaning in her words...

It was clear that the young woman did not recognize him as her husband, Gongsun Rong, but rather mistook him for someone else.

The fact that this person could legitimately lure Gongsun Rong away, combined with the various rumors he had heard before, made his identity almost obvious...

This is Gongsun Zhen, the current head of the Gongsun family.

Wei Xuanfeng's mind raced, but before he could sort things out, the young woman in his arms let out a soft moan, her body twisting and turning like a snake, her nimble hands already unbuttoning his clothes.

Before he could react, the other person had already leaned down and kissed his chest.

That smooth touch, that practiced process...

This immediately aroused a man's instincts!

Wei Xuanfeng's body tensed up suddenly, never expecting things to develop in this direction.

That small, nimble tongue, like a master musician plucking the strings, both captivates the heart and ignites the most primal desire in a man's bones.

"What a bewitching little enchantress..."

The boudoir was filled with a sweet fragrance, and Wei Xuanfeng felt as if he were floating on clouds. He was so intoxicated by the atmosphere that he forgot to leave.

Reason kept reminding him that his actions were inappropriate, but his male instincts made it difficult for him to resist such temptation.

Moreover, this young woman was not a well-behaved, respectable woman, so even if something did happen, she wouldn't have much of a psychological burden.

The young woman let out another soft hum, her voice so sweet it went straight to the bone.

What Wei Xuanfeng touched was warm and slippery...

She had somehow managed to remove all her clothes.

Her figure was so supple and boneless, her whole body soft and melting.

Wei Xuanfeng had seen a lot of people, and the moment he touched her skin, he knew she was already deeply moved. He couldn't help but secretly marvel...

A woman who is so aroused without any foreplay is truly a natural beauty for men.

"Although it's very dangerous for you to come at this time, I'm overjoyed..."

The young woman bit his ear and chuckled softly.

Every syllable of hers, every breath she exudes, is enough to make a man's blood boil.

Wei Xuanfeng understood perfectly well at that moment...

Gongsun Zhen and this young woman often secretly met like this on ordinary days...

First, he casually sent Gongsun Rong away under some pretext, and then Gongsun Zhen secretly sneaked into his daughter-in-law's boudoir to enjoy the pleasures of their intimate encounter.

To avoid being accidentally discovered by his servants, he would always wear Gongsun Rong's clothes to conceal his presence whenever he came. This is why the young woman mistook Wei Xuanfeng for someone else just now when she saw the clothes he was wearing.

The reason she didn't mistake him for her husband was because Wei Xuanfeng had just displayed extremely high-level lightness skills in a flash, while Gongsun Rong only knew some rudimentary skills. He could only bully a few maids and servants, let alone be considered a refined person.

Among all the members of the Gongsun family, only Gongsun Zhen possessed such profound skills.

Wei Xuanfeng could also see that the young woman's feelings for Gongsun Zhen were truly genuine...

Otherwise, there wouldn't be not a single maid in this room.

You should know that in these high-class households in the city, maids and servants are always at hand, both inside and outside the house. Now that they are empty, it is clear that she deliberately sent them away.

Thinking of this, Wei Xuanfeng couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Gongsun Rong...

No wonder he had gone mad and stormed into the mansion to humiliate Gongsun Zhi. He must know better than anyone why his father had sent him away.

But everything he had was given to him by his father. He had lived under the oppression of Gongsun Zhen since childhood. He dared not resist and was powerless to break free. He could only vent his pent-up resentment and anger on others. Gongsun Zhi almost became a victim of his venting.

As Wei Xuanfeng's thoughts drifted, the two unconsciously became entwined in each other.

The young woman, like a seductive and alluring cat, teased him relentlessly until Wei Xuanfeng could no longer restrain himself. With a low growl, he flipped over and pinned her down.

Feeling the man's heavy and aggressive body, a strange feeling swept through the young woman's heart...

He seemed somewhat different today than usual...

He is usually gentle, refined, calm and composed, but at this moment he is like a blazing sun, radiating a masculine aura that is several times stronger than usual.

That intense sense of oppression actually stirred within her a deep-seated urge to submit.

She quietly reached down and touched the man's body. She involuntarily flinched, her pretty face instantly turning as red as if it were about to bleed, and her body became even more limp.

Sensing her silent consent, Wei Xuanfeng was about to knock on the door when Hu Murong's stubborn, unyielding eyes, filled with anger and complex emotions, suddenly flashed through his mind.

Upon realizing this, he suddenly came to his senses...

This trip is to rescue Hu Murong; how can we let momentary pleasure ruin our important mission?

If something were to happen to Hu Murong during this period, he would probably never be able to forgive himself.

Sensing the sudden change in the man's mood, the young woman asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"

Wei Xuanfeng felt ashamed in his heart, raised his hand and sealed the young woman's acupoints, then hurriedly put on his clothes.

The young woman was completely bewildered by this sudden turn of events. Her beautiful eyes blinked incessantly, but her acupoints were restricted, and she couldn't utter a single word.

He quickly fastened his clothes, wondering to himself whether Gongsun Zhen had already returned to the manor...

Only by following closely behind could he find Hu Murong's whereabouts.

Suddenly, a slight sound came from outside the door. Wei Xuanfeng recognized it as the sound of clothes rustling in the wind. He was startled and wondered what kind of expert the newcomer was. Unexpectedly, the other party walked straight into the room.

Wei Xuanfeng had no choice but to lift the corner of the quilt and crawl inside. In doing so, he was pressed tightly against the young woman's hot and soft body. The intoxicating fragrance of the quilt almost made him lose his composure again.

Then they heard the person push open the door and enter, then close the door behind them. A flick of the tinderbox indicated that the lamp in the room had been lit.

A deep, magnetic male voice rang out: "Xinning, are you already resting?"

The young woman gazed at the incredibly familiar face under the lamplight, and in an instant, a chill ran down her spine...

Since Gongsun Zhen has only just arrived, who was it that was sleeping in the same bed with me just now?

……
