Mu Qiuyao, her eyes red, was seen lying on Su Yunying's body, sobbing softly.

Su Yunying gently patted her back, seemingly trying to comfort her.

After a long while, the two finally separated. Su Yunying took out a silk handkerchief and wiped away the tears from Mu Qiuyao's eyes.

"well--"

She sighed softly, then walked towards Shen Zhao with Mu Qiuyao.

"Holy crap, what's going on?"

Shen Zhaozhen was completely baffled and could only watch helplessly as the two stunningly beautiful figures drew closer and closer to her.

"Sigh, Brother Shen, just how many romantic entanglements have you gotten yourself into?"

Before Shen Zhao could speak, Su Yunying gave a coquettish laugh and shook her head at him.

"I, I..."

Shen Zhao didn't know how to explain for a moment. The more he explained, the worse it got, so he simply kept quiet and let Su Yunying "blame him".

"You..."

Su Yunying instantly adopted the demeanor of a matriarch of the household.

Seeing this scene, Mu Qiuyao found it even more amusing.

This man, who could cause a huge uproar, now stood before Su Yunying like a child who had made a mistake and was waiting to be punished.

This scene almost made her lose her composure.

"As expected, there is always someone who can subdue another. Sister Su is truly skilled."

Su Yunying continued, "Brother Chen, I've said it before, I can understand if you have other women outside, but you can't expect a woman to be the kind of person who starts something and then abandons it, can you?"

Since this happened between you two, you should take responsibility. Why didn't you tell me sooner?

Shen Zhao hurriedly said, "Yun Ying, I was planning to tell you about this, but..."

"Okay, stop arguing. I understand."

Su Yunying interrupted Shen Zhao without any politeness.

"Now that you and Sister Mu have come this far, what else can I say? Don't let her down, understand?"

“No…I won’t…”

Mu Qiuyao really couldn't hold back anymore. She never expected that Shen Zhao would actually be afraid of his wife.

Judging from the situation, he was completely under Su Yunying's control. Looking at his cautious appearance, it was impossible to associate him with the immortal martial god who fought alone in the Nine Netherworlds and made decisions from afar.

"Alright, Sister Su, don't blame Zhao Zhao anymore. I believe he's not the kind of man who starts something and then abandons it. He brought me to the Southern Region to gain your approval."

Now that Sister Su is willing to accept me, and Zhao Zhao is willing to take responsibility for it, then we are family from now on.

As she spoke, Mu Qiuyao took out a pendant that exuded Daoist charm and laws.

"This is the first time I've met you, sister. I don't have much to give you, but this Northern Region Glazed Crystal Source is a small gift. I hope you won't find it offensive."

"This, sister, is far too precious. I cannot accept it."

"If my sister doesn't accept it, does that mean she's not agreeing?"

"Well... alright, sister, don't worry, I won't stand in the way of you and Brother Shen. I'm not the kind of woman who gets jealous easily."

Seeing Mu Qiuyao's pitiful appearance, Su Yunying had no choice but to accept it.

Shen Zhao was truly impressed by Mu Qiuyao's methods. He had thought today would be a battleground, but it turned into a gentle haven in an instant.

“Sister, it’s a rare opportunity for you to come to the Southern Region. You must stay longer. I’ve heard that you have a remarkable ability to govern the Northern Region. I would like to ask you for some advice.”

"Oh, sister, what are you saying? I don't have any tricks up my sleeve. They're just some low-class things. But since you've put it that way, I'll tell you everything I know."

The two quickly became sworn sisters and chatted happily.

"that……"

Feeling ignored, Shen Zhao was just about to make his presence known.

"Don't interrupt us sisters when we're talking."

The next second, he was immediately rebuked by the two women in unison.

"Damn, this is too surreal."

Just as Shen Zhao was lamenting his awkward position, Ding Bu'er suddenly rushed over in a great hurry.

The first thing he said to Shen Zhao was, "Master Shen, something terrible has happened! A bunch of bastards have come to Luoyang to cause trouble, threatening to demand an explanation from the Court of Justice!"

"What did you say?"

Shen Zhao was taken aback upon hearing this.

"Are you just asking for a beating? What's going on?"

"Xu Ning reported that a large group of sects and families that had been targeted by our Public Trial Association had invited some White-Browed Taoist to Luoyang City to demand an explanation from the Association's leader, Si Yu."

Shen Zhao narrowed his eyes: "Tell me honestly, how many people have you offended behind my back?"

Ding hurriedly protested his innocence: "Master Chen, your words are too hurtful. Our judicial committee always puts reason first in all its work."

Those we dealt with, weren't they all petty thieves and bullies?

Speaking of which, wasn't the most ruthless thing that Liang kid did? Not only did he sleep with someone's wife, but he also destroyed Chunyang Palace.

Compared to him, our shady dealings are nothing but a gentle breeze and a light rain; they wouldn't even cause a stir in history.

"What's this? Judging from the implication of your words, you actually want to go down in history, don't you?"

"In this situation, it's hard to stay anonymous."

Ding Bu'er looked completely indifferent.

"Anyway, now that they've come to our door, are you going to take care of what's going on with President Si Yu?"

Shen Zhao was about to speak.

Ji Bingyan suddenly reported: "My lord, a group of hooligans have come to the outside of Luoyang City demanding an explanation."

Ding Bu'er looked disgusted: "Alright, Miss Ji, your information is outdated. I just told Master Chen everything."

"Then do you know what their purpose is in coming here today?" Ji Bingyan asked. "Can you name the key figure among them?"

Ding Bu'er shook his head: "I don't know. I don't handle intelligence, so how would I know these things?"
