After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

The white-haired man felt a little uncomfortable under the stare, and he was slightly ashamed. "Alright, I admit I was wrong about this."

Zhao Duo asked, "Count?"

The white-haired man said, "Alright, it was my fault. I'll go apologize to that young man."

Zhao Duo said, "If you want to go into the mountains, I'm afraid it's not possible now."

Why?

He was met with Zhao Duo's scimitar.

The white-haired man instinctively defended himself, saying, "I didn't expect it to really be like this..."

The two fought their way from Lin Wu's courtyard to the city gate of Wuling County.

They are evenly matched, and it's hard to tell who is better.

Because they both use curved swords, their moves are also very similar.

Zhao Duo never did anything useless, nor did he want to drag things out any longer, so his moves became ruthless.

He rarely used this style of play because Pearl didn't like it.

This kind of fighting style is very harmful to the body, and he doesn't want to see Pearl sad, so he almost never uses it.

In the end, the white-haired man was outmaneuvered and his life was blocked by a curved blade.

"You lost," Zhao Duo said.

"So what if I lost?" the white-haired man said nonchalantly before introducing himself, "My name is Wu Ren."

"If my husband agrees to take you up the mountain," Zhao Duo said, sheathing his sword. "If he doesn't agree, then this is absolutely impossible."

Wu Ren said, "You're getting revenge on me by telling Yin Zhiwei about Yin Cheng."

Zhao Duo said, "Think what you want."

Wu Ren said, "I went into the mountains because..."

Zhao Duo interrupted him, "It doesn't matter, I don't care."

Wu Ren said, "You should know us..."

Zhao Duo interrupted again, "So what?"

Uren said, "It seems you've also discovered, Atuna, that we share the same lineage."

Zhao Duo didn't say anything, but simply locked him up in jail temporarily.

Although he knew in his heart that the prison in Wuling County could not hold him at all.

After leaving the yamen, Zhao Duo did not return to the princess's mansion immediately, but instead went back to the Zhao family mansion.

Zhao Lang and his wife were asleep when they were suddenly awakened by a knock on the door.

After a while.

Qian Yuan rubbed her eyes and sat drowsily at the table. "What is it that you have to tell me now?"

Zhao Duo asked, "Uncle, did a branch of our family migrate to the borderlands several hundred years ago?"

Qian Yuan wasn't quite clear-headed at the moment, and was feeling sleepy. "It seems like there is such a thing."

"I met someone, perhaps a descendant of that lineage," Zhao Duo said. "The cultivation method he used was exactly the same as the one passed down from his ancestors."

Upon hearing this, Qian Yuan immediately became fully alert.

"Huh? I thought their entire lineage was dead. Turns out they're still alive."

"So, such a lineage really exists?"

Qian Yuan said, "Do you remember something mentioned in the family genealogy that our ancestor originally had a companion?"

Zhao Duo nodded. The Atuna clan once had two twin spirit snakes, one white and one red.

He'd known about this since he was a child.

"Our lineage left behind the white serpent of Mount Tsukimi, while the other lineage took away the red serpent," Qian Yuan said.

"It seems that their lineage is more skilled in martial arts, but I can't quite remember. If you're interested, you can look up their family tree later."

Zhao Duo nodded and said, "He said he wants to go to Mount Tsukimi."

"If he wants to go, then take him. We were all one family hundreds of years ago."

He also said that the king was shot by an arrow.

Qian Yuan's heart skipped a beat. "What?! Does our little pearl know about this?"

Zhao Duo sighed and nodded heavily.

"Then hurry up and take Pearl back to the Northern Territory to see her," Qian Yuan said. "Regardless of whether it's true or not, don't let Pearl be sad."

Zhao Duo nodded. "That's what I was thinking too. We're planning to set off tomorrow morning." He paused. "That man's name is Wu Ren. He has white hair and also uses a curved sword."

Qian Yuan immediately understood her son's plan and said, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on that junior."

Zhao Duo nodded. "I'll head back now."

Qian Yuan said, "Okay, be careful."

County Palace.

Pearl was so anxious that she couldn't sleep at all.

He was really worried about his father.

Back when we lived in Caixia City, my father was often injured.

After all, it's war, and it's impossible to emerge unscathed every time.

Although Yanru is now behaving herself, there are still so many alien races, big and small, in the Northern Territory. Even small skirmishes are enough to give her a headache.

Pearl wanted to fly back to the North to see her father immediately, but she was also afraid that the information the white-haired man had given her was false.

Pearl got up at the crack of dawn.

He couldn't sleep, and as soon as he stepped out of the inner room, he saw several servants packing his belongings.

Pearl asked, "What are you doing?"

The young servant said, "Your Highness, the young master said you are going back to the Northern Border and instructed us to pack."

Pearl quickly asked, "Where is he?"

The servant replied, "The young master is already waiting outside the door."

Pearl quickly ran out, calling out, "My husband!"

Zhao Duo frowned and said, "Why aren't you wearing more clothes?"

Pearl said, "I'm not cold. My husband, shall we return to the North?"

Zhao Duo nodded, "We'll set off after breakfast."

"Then I'll go tidy up." Pearl turned back halfway.

"Husband, has that person been dealt with?"

"He has been locked up in the county jail, but I don't think he can be contained there."

Pearl said, "What if he escapes from prison and then goes and bullies Lingling again?"

No, it won't.

Pearl said, "Oh, right, send a servant to tell Lingling that he lives in the west wing."

"He went back this morning."

Pearl exclaimed in surprise, "So early?"

Zhao Duo hummed in agreement. "He probably guessed that we were in a hurry to return to the Northern Territory and didn't want you to be distracted by taking care of him, so he went back early this morning."

"Lingling is the best behaved." Pearl was a little worried about her younger brother, but then she thought that her fifth uncle and the others would be back today, and she felt a little more at ease.

Pearl was eager to return home, so the young couple set off quickly.

No sooner had they stepped out of the city gate than Wu Ren caught up with them, asking when Pearl could take him into the mountains.

After Zhao Duo briefly explained the whole story, Pearl sneered, "When will our Lingling forgive you? That's when you'll be allowed to enter Mount Tsukimi."

At the time, Pearl thought simply that although Lingling was weak and soft, she had a strong sense of principles and would not be easily swayed.

Even if the white-haired man in front of her could be considered a relative of her husband, it was a certainty that he had trespassed on her property and bullied the young man!

Want to enter Tsukimiyama? Then go and atone for your sins!

I never expected that Bai Mao would be so stubborn.

He relentlessly questioned Lin Ling every single day.

"Have you forgiven me today?"

At first, Lin Ling was shocked. Wasn't he locked up in jail? How did he get out again?

White Hair proudly declared that the prison guards were no match for him.

Lin Ling was absolutely terrified.

Wu Ren came for three days in a row, and Lin Ling was both scared and annoyed by him.

He happened to be an exceptionally polite young man; even when the white-haired guy was driving him crazy, all he would say was, "Could you please not come anymore?"

The man ignored him and continued to do as he pleased.
