Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

The stone chamber was pushed open from the inside, and Qin Han emerged with a gust of air.

Cheng Qingshuang and several Lingjiu Palace disciples had been waiting outside. Upon noticing Qin Han emerge from seclusion, they quickly stepped forward to greet him.

The disciples all bowed down.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, on breaking through to the next realm!"

Qin Han had just emerged from seclusion, and his internal energy was flowing smoothly, giving him a light and agile feeling.

Looking at the girl named Cheng Qingshuang in front of him, he realized that she had been by his side for the past few days. Because of the weather, her cheeks were slightly flushed from the cold.

Without thinking much, he gently pinched Cheng Qingshuang's cheek.

The moment his fingers touched the other person's skin, he realized something was wrong; this girl was neither Shuang'er nor Xiao Zhao.

"Ahem, thank you for your hard work these past two days."

Cheng Qingshuang remained motionless, her cheeks flushing rapidly, her eyes wide open.

Qin Han coughed twice, feeling a bit uncomfortable under his gaze.

"Has anything happened on the mountain these past few days?"

Cheng Qingshuang was lost in thought when she heard this and subconsciously replied.

"N-nothing...it's nothing..."

Qin Han nodded as he walked.

"That's good. There's nothing much going on at Lingjiu Palace lately, so you can get some rest for a couple of days."

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from Cheng Qingshuang's sight, leaping across the Sky-Connecting Bridge and disappearing into the thick fog in the distance within a few breaths.

Cheng Qingshuang stood there dumbfounded, then subconsciously touched the cheek that had just been touched.

Two younger female students next to her grabbed her arms on either side, teasing her with playful smiles.

"Senior sister, what did it feel like when the prince pinched you just now? Why is your face so red?"

Cheng Qingshuang immediately put on a stern face and rolled her eyes at her two junior sisters.

"Shut up, all of you! If you dare to tease me again, believe me, I'll make you shovel snow on the back mountain for three months!"

The two little girls didn't stop laughing; instead, they laughed even louder.

"Oh my, Senior Sister, you're already acting like a princess even before you've become a lady."

Cheng Qingshuang's face turned bright red.

"You two brats, I'll teach you a lesson today!"

At this time, the Chengdu Prince's Palace.

When Qin Han rushed back to the mansion, the red lanterns hanging at the main gate were still there.

As soon as I stepped through the door, I heard intermittent voices coming from the main house in front.

Pushing open the half-closed door, Li Canghai sat upright in front of the dressing table in the middle, with Zhu Jian standing behind her helping her style her hair, using a hairpin to pick up a strand of long silver hair and fix it behind her head.

Little Dragon Girl sat quietly on the bench on the left, while Lan Jian held a peach wood comb and combed her long hair from top to bottom.

Li Mochou sat alone in the chair on the right, tidying up the stray hairs by her ears, lost in thought.

Qin Han embraced Xiaolongnu and Li Mochou from behind, one on each side.

Bamboo Sword and Orchid Sword were startled by the sudden action. After turning around and seeing who it was, they quickly swallowed back the words they were about to say.

He wisely withdrew.

"Have you missed me these past few days?"

He had been watching for so long, and only Li Canghai had noticed it; the others hadn't really noticed Qin Han.

Li Mochou's cheeks flushed quickly.

After Xiaolongnu learned that it was Qin Han, she let him hold her.

Qin Han was currently immersed in the joy of successfully passing the level when he voiced a bold idea that was on his mind.

"Don't go back to your rooms tonight. Let Cheng Ying, Daiyu, and the others all move into the main hall and make do for the night. Wouldn't it be nice if everyone squeezed in together for a lively time?"

Li Mochou's initial coy demeanor vanished instantly, replaced by an angry glare.

"Tch, so the first thing you said after coming back from seclusion was... nothing else to say? All you said was... nothing but that kind of thing. Anyway, I'm not doing it!"

"Huh? I meant when everyone is properly covered with blankets and sleeping."

"Do you think I'm as easy to fool as Little Dragon Girl?!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaolongnu simply turned her head in the opposite direction, ignoring him and making no attempt to refute him.

Even from the side, a noticeable blush could be seen at the tips of her ears.

Qin Han realized he was in trouble; he had been too hasty and should have coaxed them all over first.

Li Canghai slightly curled the corners of his mouth and casually swept his hand through the air.

"All you do when you get back is bully people. What kind of behavior is that?"

A powerful and steady current of air struck Qin Han's chest. He did not try to resist it, but let the force push him out of the room.

Just then, Shi Qingxuan walked in through the side door carrying tea, followed by Wang Yuyan carrying a tray.

The two had just entered the room when they witnessed this scene. Shi Qingxuan tried her best to suppress her laughter and quickly stepped aside to make way for them. To prevent the tea from spilling, she even raised the cup in her hand a little higher.

Wang Yuyan readily stepped to the side, making room for more people.

Qin Han wasn't angry. He just watched the two women go inside and then walked alone to the osmanthus tree in the center of the courtyard.

Soon, Li Mochou's voice, tinged with complaint, came from inside the room.

"I worried about him a lot during his seclusion because he was always so unruly, but he came out of seclusion without saying a word."

He came out still thinking about all sorts of things; he deserved to be kicked out. Let him stand outside and reflect on his actions!

Shi Qingxuan chuckled.

"Serves you right."

Wang Yuyan was one of the two brides who had their wedding night ceremony last that night, and she managed to avoid offending either side.

"This is indeed the prince's fault. How could he say such shameless things in broad daylight?"

Qin Han stood under the tree, bored.

"Is this really a reason to get so angry? I've been in seclusion for several days and just got back. Why won't they even give me a chance to come inside and have a drink of water?"

Bamboo Sword and Orchid Sword secretly slipped into the courtyard, while two pretty maids hid to the side, chuckling.

Bamboo Sword mustered his courage and reminded him.

"Master, you have no idea how worried the ladies have been about you these past few days. Not only did you come back without a word, but you also..."

Qin Han gave her a disgruntled look.

"What do you mean 'still'? What do you know, you little brat? Don't meddle in adults' affairs."

Bamboo Sword mischievously stuck out its tongue and muttered to itself.

"They're not little anymore."

In fact, Qin Han quite liked this kind of life, which at least proved that the group of them had formed a strong tacit understanding.

The initial sense of unfamiliarity between them when they first moved into the Prince's mansion was long gone.

He was just thinking about what excuse to use to go back into the house and appease the ladies when he happened to notice someone rushing over there.

It is a vain act.

Even when faced with an emergency, this old man rarely showed such a demeanor.

Even from a distance of about ten steps, Xu Xingzhi's voice could already be heard.

"Your Highness, this is an urgent secret letter sent by the Luo Wang organization yesterday. It concerns Lin'an..."
