Can't a girl be a traitor like Cao Cao?

Tong Yan felt a chill run down her spine as she felt Ji Chijun's extremely aggressive gaze fall upon her.

She frowned and asked Chi Junlin, "Who exactly are you? Why... do you possess Master Yan's sword...?"

Chi Junlin smiled slightly and asked in return, "Sect Leader Tong is cautious, and possesses both outward beauty and inner wisdom. Didn't you already guess that?"

His youthful face tightened.

Yes, she had already guessed Chi Junlin's identity.

As such a spirited and beautiful woman, she was able to treat the current princess so intimately and casually, and she also had the sword that Yan Chunyu always carried with her.

There is only one person in the world who fits her identity.

Chi Junlin, the Marquis of Anguo, is the Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Army and a newly promoted Grand General of the Great Zheng Dynasty.

Tong Yan looked at Chi Junlin with a complicated expression on his face.

Not long ago, she was still pondering just how exceptionally beautiful and heroic Chi Junlin truly was.

I never expected to have the opportunity to see it in person so soon.

That's generally how things are in this world.

Everything will unfold when you least expect it.

After pondering for a moment, Tong Yan said to Chi Junlin, "General, you can't have come to my sect just for a spring outing. If you have something to tell me, please speak frankly."

Chi Junlin smiled and said, "Don't rush, I have something else here that I want to show the sect leader."

As she spoke, she took out a rolled-up painting tube from her sleeve and handed it to Tong Yan.

With a hint of hesitation, Tong Yan accepted the scroll from Chi Junlin's hand.

She had assumed it contained some secret or important item, but to her surprise, when the scroll was unfolded, it turned out to be a wanted poster of a criminal.

Moreover, I am somewhat familiar with the person in the painting.

Upon closer inspection, he realized it was his own apprentice, Ding Xia!

Tong Yan was taken aback, never expecting that Ding Xia had become a wanted criminal by the imperial court without her knowledge!

"This……"

Tong Yan was slightly taken aback and looked up at Chi Junlin.

Chi Junlin smiled and said, "It's true. Ding Xia conspired with rebels to assassinate the emperor. He is wanted by authorities everywhere and considered a major criminal."

However, the arrest warrant hasn't been issued to Wuling yet. Perhaps in a few days, it will appear in the nearby county government offices.

Tong Yan's heart was pounding. Looking at the wanted poster in her hand, she felt somewhat incredulous.

But upon closer reflection, it seems that Ding Xia is capable of doing such a thing.

After all, the matter involved the Lou family, and even Yan Chunyu was involved in this major treason case...

At this moment, Chi Junlin smiled and said, "In addition, Yan Chunyu also asked me to pass on a message to the sect leader."

"what?"

Tong Yan asked instinctively.

Chi Junlin replied calmly, "He said that the Lou family is not a wise ruler and can never succeed. He hopes that the sect leader will reconsider and serve the court as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Tong Yan frowned slightly, her expression somewhat melancholy.

Chi Junlin remained silent, gazing at the youthful, beautiful face with a hint of enjoyment.

She absolutely adored his youthful face and the cool, slightly troubled expression.

It made her want to bully her, to disturb the aloof fairy's troubled mind with even worse news.

Chapter 64 Humiliation

Tong Yan remained silent for a long time, seemingly pondering the meaning behind Chi Junlin's words.

She clearly believed that Yan Chunyu had said something to her after Chi Junlin defeated him.

But it may not be the exact words that Chi Jun said at that moment.

However, what Yan Chunyu said is actually not important.

The important thing is what Red King wants to convey to himself.

She hoped to bring the Sword Harmony Sect to serve the imperial court.

That makes some sense.

Another question is, why did Chi Junlin show him Ding Xia's wanted poster?

Is it that Chi Junlin was trying to express that she was very clear about what the Lou family of Xiangdi had done in secret, and also knew about the Jianhe Sect's wavering stance in it?

The Red King is threatening.

She threatened that if he didn't listen to her, the Jianhe Sect would be labeled a rebel by the Dazheng court, just like the Lou family.

Not only Ding Xia, but the entire Jianhe Sect will be wanted and slaughtered.

Tong Yan was quick-witted and almost instantly guessed Chi Junlin's thoughts.

But she still had some doubts.

Given Chi Junlin's status and position, why would he need to resort to so many tactics against the Sword Harmony Sect?

She doesn't even need to put in so much effort; as long as an imperial edict is issued, the Sword Harmony Sect will be destroyed in an instant.

Tong Yan was fully aware of his own situation and that of the Sword Harmony Sect.

They couldn't even resist a minor county official in this area.

Since Chi Junlin is so dedicated, he must have some ulterior motive towards them.

But he himself was just a small sect in the Sword Union Sect, an insignificant little sect in the martial arts world.

What could they possibly be plotting?

Tong Yan was puzzled, then sighed and looked at Chi Junlin with clear eyes.

He then said, "General, you may speak frankly. The Sword Harmony Sect is now a small and insignificant sect, and can no longer withstand any storms."

Chi Junlin nodded, looking at Tong Yan with a hint of fondness.

This is another intelligent person, and Chi Junlin has always liked to talk to intelligent people.

This way, a lot of meaningless nonsense can be omitted.

So she placed her hand on the sword box and smiled at Tong Yan, saying, "Ding Xia's matter can be left uninvolved in the Sword Harmony Sect."

Whatever the Sword Harmony Sect did in the past can also be forgiven.

There is only one condition.

As Chi Junlin spoke, he held up one finger.

Tong Yan showed an expression of eagerness to hear more.

Chi Junlin revealed a playful smile, and gently ran his raised finger across the smooth, delicate hand of the youthful-looking man.

"The night is long. I want to spend this wonderful evening with my wife."

Tong Yan was stunned when she heard this.

I thought I heard it wrong.

But then, she immediately realized what was happening.

His expression turned furious as he looked at Chi Junlin, feeling that he had been greatly humiliated!

Originally, she thought that Chi Junlin was a woman like herself. Although his eyes were strange and his expression was intimate, he would at least not have any overly inappropriate thoughts.

But upon closer reflection, her behavior, gestures, and expressions with the other women in the teahouse—

This is clearly not the kind of friendship that should exist between ordinary women!

Chi Junlin just loves women!

That's the kind of thinking I have about myself!

Having traveled the martial world for many years, Tong Yan had seen all sorts of strange people and didn't find Chi Junlin particularly astonishing.

But what angered her was that she already had someone she loved, and she was deeply in love with her deceased husband.

In the martial arts world, there is no shortage of men and women who are in love with him.

But none of them would use such blunt language to humiliate her!

This has nothing to do with gender, it only concerns whether Chi Junlin respects himself!

Tong Yan, with her fiery temper, immediately stood up, her face turning pale with anger, and glared at Chi Junlin.

"Yan is not the kind of person who would offer himself to another man! Please refrain from such remarks, General, and show some self-respect!"

Then, with a cold expression, he turned around angrily and walked out of the quiet room without hesitation.

The female disciple standing not far outside the meditation room was startled when she saw Tong Yan leave her seat in anger.

Clearly, they had never seen their serene and composed sect leader, who never showed his emotions, so openly display his anger as he did today.

They didn't know what the two had talked about in the quiet room, and were somewhat at a loss in their panic.

However, Chi Junlin, sitting in the quiet room, was not in a hurry at all.

In fact, Chi Junlin did not expect Tong Yan to have such a reaction.

She knew that Tong Yan had a strong personality, unlike Yang Yurou who was soft-hearted and submissive.

Simple verbal threats were utterly ineffective in making the Childlike Sect Master submit.

However, she also knew that Tong Yan was an extremely calm person.

Although she might be blinded by anger for a moment, she would soon realize that she shouldn't offend herself so easily.

Otherwise, the consequences of getting angry would be something that the Little Sword Union Sect could not bear.

Sure enough, before long, even Chi Junlin hadn't put down his teacup.

A female disciple ran over and said very respectfully to Chi Junlin, “I’m so sorry, Your Excellency. The Sect Master said that she was a little rude in the heat of the moment. Please forgive her.”

However, the sect leader absolutely cannot agree to your suggestion. Please understand.

After the female disciple finished speaking, she looked at Chi Junlin with a somewhat fearful expression.

She clearly didn't know what the two had just said; she was just relaying Tong Yan's message.

Chi Junlin had already guessed that this would happen, and it seemed that he didn't care.

He simply smiled at the female disciple and said, "The gifts on the table are for Sect Leader Tong. Please take them to her. She will understand."

Upon hearing this, the female disciple respectfully bowed to Chi Junlin.

Then he put away the scrolls and sword box on the table and walked towards the inner courtyard of the sect leader where Tong Yan lived.

However, halfway there, the female disciple became curious and opened the scroll to take a look, wanting to know what was in the painting.

She was startled when she saw it.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a wanted poster of Ding Xia.

The female disciple looked around, but there was no one there.

But then he suddenly understood why the sect leader was so angry.

It turns out that Ding Xia made such a big mistake outside.

The female disciple frowned, unsure of what to do.

He could only take two items with him as he entered Tongyan's inner courtyard residence.

-

Afterwards, when it was time for dinner, female disciples came to invite the distinguished guests to the dining room for a meal.

When Chi Junlin returned to the girls, he saw Jiang Qianju facing him with a smug expression.

She was clearly very happy to see that Chi Junlin had failed.

"You messed up, didn't you? Your method might not work."

Jiang Qianju then whispered something in her ear with a grin.
