"Miss, I don't seem to know Yu Xuanji at all. Why does she want to see me?"

"I don't know either. My young lady instructed me that she was attracted by the gentleman's unique temperament and insisted on meeting him no matter what."

"Then please tell your young lady that I am a married man, and that I am henpecked."

If anything goes wrong and my wives find out, I'll be in big trouble. Please forgive me.

After saying this, Shen Zhao bowed politely and prepared to leave to find Fahai.

But the maid stopped him: "Sir, my mistress said that she would be very sad if you did not see her."

"Then let her be sad." Shen Zhao waved his feather fan, looking indifferent. "Besides, whether she is sad or not is none of my business."

The maid was taken aback and was about to try to persuade her again when she heard someone in the hall suddenly overturn the table.

Dong Chao pointed at the maid with a face full of resentment and said angrily, "What do you mean by this?"

I, the esteemed heir of the Western Liang royal family, have spent a fortune yet still haven't caught a glimpse of Miss Xuanji's true face.

Why is it that he, a complete stranger who's just arrived, has won her favor? This isn't fair!

The maid dared not utter a sound. Given her status and position, she could not afford to offend the young master of the Western Liang royal family.

Seeing this, Feng San Niang quickly stepped forward to comfort him, saying, "Young Master, please calm down. Perhaps things aren't as you think..."

"What do you mean?" Dong Chao's eyes widened. "You know perfectly well that I've been in love with Miss Xuanji for a long time."

I spent countless spirit stones for her, yet I don't even have the right to see her.

But now this outsider, without spending a single penny, can directly enter Miss Xuanji's boudoir. What am I supposed to think?

Feng San Niang immediately became a little nervous and was about to continue comforting her.

Dong Chao abruptly pushed Feng San Niang aside, saying, "Let me tell you, no one can get even a hair's breadth near Miss Xuanji without my permission."

If anyone dares to steal the woman I, Dong Chao, have set my sights on…

The next second, a gleaming silver spear was stuck directly into the table.

"That would mean going against the entire Western Liang Royal Palace!"

Instantly, the hall fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.

The prestige of the Western Liang King's Mansion was so great that it made everyone tremble with fear.

"Is that so?"

Shen Zhao, who was about to leave, suddenly let out a contemptuous laugh.

Then he walked toward the maid, bowed and said, "Then please introduce me to your young lady."

The maid immediately gestured for him to come: "Sir, please follow me."

"Try taking that step!"

Dong Chao was furious and pointed his spear at Shen Zhao, cursing loudly.

"Boy, you don't even respect my Xiliang Royal Palace?"

"You dare steal a woman from me, Dong Chao? You're courting death! You'd better not make me uncomfortable."

Shen Zhao lightly waved his feather fan and replied calmly, "I apologize, I did not intend to contend with you, but what you just said to me..."

This seriously crossed my bottom line. After all, men are the most vulnerable creatures to provocation.

"Since you're going to feel uncomfortable, then feel uncomfortable. As long as it makes you uncomfortable, it's not necessarily a bad thing."

Instantly, a tense atmosphere filled the entire lobby of Yupinxuan.

"Very well, you dare to talk to me like that? Then leave your name if you dare!"

"Floating duckweed drifts aimlessly on the autumn waters."

"Ren Piaomiao? So you're that Ren Piaomiao!"

Instantly, Dong Chao exploded.

"That's wonderful! I was just wondering where to find you to avenge my little sister."

"I didn't expect you to deliver yourself to my doorstep, so you'll have to leave your life behind today."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Chao drew his silver spear and thrust it at Shen Zhao without saying a word.

Shen Zhao's eyes sharpened, and the feather fan in his hand soared into the air. With a flick of his finger, it instantly transformed into a spiritual sword that landed half a foot in front of him, just in time to block Dong Chao's spear attack.

Bang!

Sword energy emanated from the air, and half of the tables and chairs inside the Imperial Pavilion shattered.

Startled, Dong Chao quickly put away his gun and retreated, taking more than ten steps back.

"The wind fills the tower, swirling yellow sand; the sword dances through the ages, its fame resounds throughout the world."

"Rain falls in the misty rain, weary of the mortal world, I return the pearl to you, like duckweed floating on autumn waters."

Since we're going to put on an act, let's go all the way.

That's how you gain prestige.

As Shen Zhao finished reciting his poem, he officially switched into the form of an unparalleled swordsman.

The maid standing nearby, witnessing this scene, felt her heart race and her pretty face flush slightly; she was completely mesmerized.

"Come, I hope you can please me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the spirit sword was instantly drawn.

The sword energy swirled, its clanging never ceasing.

Dong Chao's pupils contracted. Before he could even sense the change in his opponent's demeanor, he decisively raised his gun and unleashed a killing move.

"The silver dragon roars!"

With a sweep of the spear, it was unstoppable.

However……

"Sword One - Break".

Bang!

A sharp sword aura swept across, landing on the silver spear and immediately knocking Dong Chao back three steps.

"Supreme Grade Two, not bad."

With just one probing move, Shen Zhao understood Dong Chao's cultivation level.

"What is this person's cultivation level? And what about his swordsmanship? Why is it so fierce?"

Dong Chao was greatly shocked. He never expected that "Ren Piaomiao" was not only handsome, but also had such exquisite cultivation and swordsmanship.

After receiving that attack, he felt a tingling numbness in his hand, and the silver spear almost slipped from his grasp.

"Your Highness, is this the end?"

Shen Zhao took a step closer, holding his spirit sword.

"I am not yet satisfied. May I continue? I wish to enjoy myself to the fullest?"

Men are creatures most susceptible to provocation.

For the first time, Dong Chao felt that the enemy's words were a profound truth.

For example, right now, even though she knew she was no match for Shen Zhao, that contemptuous tone was simply unbearable for her proud and arrogant self.
