The Deepest Affection in Qin's Time

Li Wu's simple rhetorical question silenced Cao Yuan.

He was, after all, just a trainee in the Aquaman program. Suddenly encountering a life-threatening challenge at the Aquaman level caused him to malfunction a bit. It seems he still needs to accumulate experience and practice for another two and a half years.

That said, Cao Yuan was speechless.

Why are you, a female assassin, so concerned about love?

What's it to you?!

"Come here."

A cold, emotionless voice rang out.

Li Wu and Cao Yuan were both startled, only then realizing that Jing Ni was standing in the corridor.

Damn it... Can't you experts act like human beings?! You're terrifying!

Cao Yuan looked at the solitary figure under the corridor, his heart pounding.

"Lord Jing Salamander..."

Li Wu lowered her head and obediently greeted Jing Ni.

Jing Ni wore a blue and yellow dress, her waist was outlined by a ribbon, making her extremely slender, revealing a more abundant figure than Li Wu, and her buttocks were very full.

Even without makeup, her stunning figure remained captivating, not to mention her clear, cool eyes, arched eyebrows, delicate, thin lips, and exquisitely beautiful face.

Aside from being too cold, it has no downsides.

Jingni looked at Li Wu, who had her head down, and said calmly, "From now on, you are not allowed to play the flute in the early morning."

"Oh……"

Li Wu's charming face showed some annoyance, and she couldn't help but glare at Cao Yuan.

Cao Yuan was secretly gloating. "Serves you right for playing around so early in the morning, and you even gave me a death trap."

Jingni raised her beautiful eyes slightly, her gaze falling on Cao Yuan, a hint of interest and curiosity in her eyes.

She parted her thin lips slightly, her voice clear and cold as she said, "You just said... you dreamt about me last night? What did you dream about me about?"

Cao Yuan was secretly pleased to see Li Wu get the short end of the stick, but when he heard Jing Ni's words, he fell silent.

Can I say that?

Are you thinking of having a third child?

Cao Yuan, quick-witted, respectfully said, "I dreamt that Lord Jingni asked me how to obtain the bronze treasure box from the Nameless Sword Saint and how to complete the mission."

Jingni felt a little disappointed and bored for some reason.

She nodded. "Perfect timing, I was just looking for you. We need you for this mission."

Li Wu glanced at Cao Yuan with disdain in her phoenix eyes.

Knowing this guy as she did, there was absolutely no way he would be concerned about the mission even in his dreams!

If that's true, she ate the flute!

Cao Yuan's heart skipped a beat. Was it coming?

He revealed that he had a good relationship with Yan Lu, which indeed caught Jing Ni's attention.

"Lady Jingni, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Nameless, the master of the Han Guang Sword, is a peak Grandmaster. He is a good friend of Lu Goujian, the Three-Handed Sword Demon. He is indifferent to fame and fortune and does not compete with the world."

Jingni handed the information about Wuming to Cao Yuan, saying, "I need you to get close to Wuming through that child and find an opportunity to steal the bronze box."

Cao Yuan said, "What if we get discovered..."

Jing Ni said calmly, "Wu Ming never kills innocent people, so you don't need to worry about him killing you or crippling you, because you are just an ordinary person."

Li Wu chuckled lightly, "It is indeed very suitable for an incompetent person like you."

Cao Yuan retorted to Li Wu, "If you can do it, then you do it!"

Li Wu snorted softly. If Jing Ni hadn't been there, she would have shoved her foot into Cao Yuan's mouth!

……

Linzi Academy.

Zihan walked out of the study with a pale face, puffy eyes, bloodshot eyes, and dark circles under her eyes, her steps unsteady.

He looks exactly like an old otaku who stays up all night playing League of Legends.

At this moment, he was tightly holding a piece of silk cloth in his hand, which was covered with dense, ugly characters.

It was Cao Yuan who gave him the first draft of "Human Nature is Good or Evil"!

"Meng Jiang!" Zihan roared, "Where is Cao Yuan?!"

Xiao Mengjiang, who was fetching water, was startled, and the copper basin fell to the ground, spilling water all over the floor.

"Is Aman in the shop...?"

As soon as Xiao Mengjiang finished speaking, Zihan, who had been walking unsteadily, vanished without a trace in an instant, as if she had learned the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique).

Xiao Mengjiang was at a loss.

Could it be that something happened to Cao Cao?

She felt uneasy thinking about how Cao Cao had sent her to stay at the Confucian academy. After hesitating for a while, she hurriedly left the academy and ran to the "Golden Key" locksmith shop.

……

"Golden Key" Locksmith Shop.

A wooden sign with the words "Closed" was hanging on the shop door.

Inside the hall, three cobblers were engaged in a heated "communication".

Of course, it was just Li Wu and Cao Yuan having a passionate online battle.

Jing Ni knelt expressionlessly in the middle, which prevented the two from completely losing their minds and resorting to hand-to-hand combat.

"Idiot! You should go directly to that child and then approach the Nameless One!"

Li Wu unleashed her full power against Cao Yuan, her self-righteous demeanor, coupled with her surging, malevolent form, making her appear extremely aggressive.

Cao Yuan sneered disdainfully, "You think Wuming is an idiot who can't see anything? A stupid woman with big breasts but no brains!"

"What did you say?! Say it again!"

Li Wu slammed her hand on the table and stood up, her pretty face full of anger. Her chest heaved with rage, and she almost rolled up her sleeves and started fighting Cao Yuan on the spot. It was only thanks to Jing Ni sitting in the middle with a cold face that she was able to hold back.

Cao Yuan sneered, "Say it again, it won't cure your brain."

He realized that the "small" in Pan Lu Deng Xiao Xian's strategy was useless, and it would be better to confront Li Wu more often and have a more satisfying head-on clash.

Anyway, with Jing Ni around, he's the protected animal of the Luo Wang until the bronze treasure box is opened!

"Ok?"

Jingni suddenly stood up, her sharp gaze fixed on the shop door.

"boom!"

Outside the door, a seemingly frail young man kicked the door open and scrambled in, grabbing Cao Yuan's leg and howling, "Brother Cao! What happened to your lower half?! Where's your lower half?!"

Cao Yuan: "O(口)O"

Li Wu: "(°°〃)"

Jing Ni: "(⊙⊙)"

……

Chapter 6 My Wife, My Concubine

Cao Yuan struggled to pull his leg out of Zihan's grasp.

Looking at Zihan, who had clearly stayed up all night, I felt both annoyed and amused.

However, he feels more relaxed now.

Fortunately, I took many humanities-oriented courses in college, such as literary history and poetry appreciation, which were easy to get good grades in.

In addition, by frequently watching short videos on Douyin (TikTok) such as "I love invention" and those that vulgarize and promote Confucianism, it is not difficult to write an essay titled "Human Nature is Good or Evil," which is full of Confucian flavor.

Whether he can obtain the bronze treasure box and successfully escape from the gap between Jing Ni and Li Wu depends on whether his performance can alarm the Confucian master!

Jingni glanced at Zihan, who was dressed in Confucian robes, her eyes flashing slightly, and then discreetly hid the Jingni Sword.

There are many Confucian masters in Linzi, especially since she used the Jingni Sword yesterday when she was ordered to lure them away. Therefore, she cannot easily reveal her identity, lest the mission fail.

As one of the Eight Swords of the King of Yue, the Jingni Sword is highly recognizable in the martial arts world.

Li Wu pouted, crossed her arms to the side, and sulked, thinking about how to get back at Cao Yuan to vent her anger!

Zihan realized there were two people in the store, so she hurriedly stood up from the ground and straightened her clothes.

"Excuse me, ladies..."

When Zihan saw Jingni and Liwu's stunningly beautiful faces, she was amazed.

"Cao, Cao, Cao... Brother Cao, they are..."

Zihan blushed deeply. Having grown up in Xiaoshengxianzhuang, where the lights were on late into the night and the roosters crowed at dawn, he had never seen such a beautiful girl before, and he was so flustered that he could hardly speak.

Cao Yuan subconsciously introduced Jing Ni, "This is..."

Jing Ni suddenly took Cao Yuan's arm and calmly said, "I am his wife."

Cao Yuan, realizing what was happening, immediately said, "Oh right, my wife."

Zihan nodded, then looked at Liwu, her heart pounding, and asked, "And who is she?"

Cao Yuan replied naturally, "My concubine."

Zihan was stunned.

Li Wu was stunned for a moment, and almost had a heart attack from anger on the spot.

She gritted her teeth, staring at Cao Yuan with wide, beautiful eyes, wishing she could devour him!
