Chapter 99 Luo Xi, the second young lady of the Luo family, comes to find Shen Pingjin

Jiang Mian was the founder of Xuri Pavilion. He grew up in a murderous environment and possessed profound inner strength and superb martial arts skills.

Basically, everyone who enters the Rising Sun Pavilion can barely withstand three of his moves even when they are using all their strength; there has never been anyone who could defeat Jiang Mian.

Until this young master Xi appeared.

Jiang Mian will never forget that day when he was defeated by this young master wearing the Asura Ghost Mask within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. He pulled the man into the pavilion with a smile, but in reality he was not convinced and wanted to have another match.

Who knew that they would take him down in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Jiang Mian was initially unconvinced, but during a mission, as an examiner, he personally witnessed the recklessness of this Ghost-Faced Asura.

From that moment on, he admired the Ghost-Faced Asura from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time, he never regarded the Ghost-Faced Asura as an ordinary cabinet member again.

Instead, he treated him with utmost respect, for he was terrified that the Ghost-Faced Asura would escape!

He asked him his name, and under the bright moon, the demon-faced Asura replied: Xi.

From then on, Jiang Mian called this young master wearing the demon mask "Young Master Xi".

“Young Master Xi, I will do as you say, but let’s forget about the martial arts competition.”

Yan Jue was somewhat puzzled, "I've heard that the Pavilion Master of Xuri Pavilion loves martial arts competitions the most, so why doesn't he like them anymore?"

Jiang Mian rolled his eyes. That's because I don't want to compete with you!

He chuckled and said, "If Young Master Xi is the Ghost-Faced Asura, then I can change my face faster than flipping through a book. Let's not talk about that for now. By the way, where were we just talking about?"

Yan Jue didn't expose him, "and they talked about the poisoning incident."

Jiang Mian said, "If Young Master Xi is so certain, then he must be very confident. Young Master Xi, please rest assured that our Xuri Pavilion will do its utmost to assist you."

Yan Jue nodded, but didn't forget to ask, "That's very good. If Pavilion Master Jiang is in trouble in the future, I will definitely do my best to help. But I still want to ask, do you know what the antidote for the Tendon-Losing Powder is?"

Jiang Mian pondered for a moment and replied, "Yes, there is, but I think it's best not to try to find a cure for this kind of poison."

Why?

Jiang Mian explained, "This kind of poison is inherently slow-acting, and by the time it is discovered, it has usually already penetrated deep into the bone marrow. Even if there is an antidote, it may not be very effective."

"There's no need to say more about Pavilion Master Jiang; I understand. However, Xi still wants to know the answer."

Jiang Mian sighed, "If Young Master Xi wants to know, then I might as well be frank. If you want to cure this Tendon Loss Powder, you must take the virgin blood of five virgins and a medicine called Snow Lotus as a medicinal guide."

The earlier parts were fine, but this snow lotus...

Yan Jue felt that these words sounded familiar. Wasn't snow lotus a precious medicinal ingredient that had been lost for a long time? No wonder it was said to be of little use, because snow lotus could not be found at all.

Seeing that Yan Jue remained silent, Jiang Mian naturally said, "Young Master Xi, you must have heard of this snow lotus flower, right?"

Yan Jue seemed thoughtful. "I have heard of it, but... didn't I hear that the snow lotus has long since disappeared from this world?"

"That's why I said that this 'Tendon-Losing Powder' is not easy to completely eradicate."

Yan Jue nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Sect Master Jiang, please don't agree to Miss Luo's request yet. It's getting late, and Xi has other things to do. Pavilion Master Jiang, farewell."

Jiang Mian couldn't wait for this devil to leave. "Young Master Xi, please take care."

Yan Jue led Ye Ting and the others away. On the way back, Ye Ting couldn't help but ask, "Master, are you sure you want to go to the palace? Won't you be doing the work of three people all by yourself?"

Yan Jue gave a low "hmm," knowing exactly what to do next.

-

On the other side, Shen Pingjin had just left Yan Jue and finally had some free time to play cards with Nian An and Nian Ning when the servant at the door pushed open the door and walked in anxiously.

Shen Pingjin is playing Dou Dizhu (a card game), a form of entertainment she learned from her mother's autobiography.

She could only put down the cards in her hand and look at the servant, "Has something happened?"

The servant bowed his head respectfully and said, "Reporting to the Regent's Princess, the second young lady of the Luo family has arrived. She says she wants to come in and catch up with you."

The second young lady of the Luo family? Shen Pingjin frowned, seemingly puzzled. It was only after Nian An and Nian Ning reminded her that Shen Pingjin remembered.

Miss Luo the Second, her rival in love from her past life?

Shen Pingjin said thoughtfully, "I have nothing to reminisce about with her, so I won't see her."

The servant looked somewhat troubled. "Reporting to the Regent's Princess, Miss Luo asked me to convey a message that she wants to form an alliance with Your Highness. She also seems to have guessed that Your Highness would refuse, saying that Your Highness should let her in and hear what she has to say before refusing."

An alliance? Shen Pingjin found it strange. She wasn't forgetting that the last time she met that Miss Luo was at Zuixiang Tower. This person had even insisted on asking her why she married Yan Jue and regretted marrying Su Xuanmao.

She rolled her eyes. "Let her in." Shen Pingjin was curious to see what kind of trouble Luo Xi was up to.

Shen Pingjin continued playing cards with Nian An and Nian Ning. Halfway through the game, she suddenly heard the sound of a hairpin swaying in her ear.

Following the rules her mother had taught her, Shen Pingjin played a game of "King of Kings" and won against Nian An and Nian Ning. Looking at the silver coins in front of Nian An and Nian Ning, she smiled and took them all.

Seeing the miserable expressions on Nian Ning and Nian An's faces, she comforted them, "It's okay, it's okay, you can win it back from me next time!"

She gave the two of them a look, "You two wait here, I'm going to meet this Miss Luo."

Nian'an and Nian Ning obediently listened to the instructions, while mentally reviewing the card game they had just played.

Luo Xi waited outside the Regent's Palace for a while, thinking to herself, "As expected of the Regent, his residence is truly magnificent."

She followed the servants into Shen Pingjin's courtyard. Looking around, she thought Shen Pingjin's life would be unhappy, but when she saw Shen Pingjin playing with her personal maid, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

It seems that the current regent treats Shen Pingjin quite well.

Although the person in front of her was her former rival in love, now that she has married the Regent, the two are no longer enemies.

Luo Xi smiled and said, "Sister Jin, it's been a long time. How have you been these days?"

The woman wore a pale yellow moon-like dress, her steps graceful and elegant, her beautiful eyes full of charm.

Shen Pingjin didn't stand on ceremony either, "I've been doing alright these days. But Sister Xi, your pale yellow dress today makes your skin look like porcelain. Was it made at Yujingfang?"

Shen Pingjin looked at Luo Xi's face with admiration, "Especially your beautiful hair draped over your shoulders, it makes you look even more lively."

Luo Xi blushed slightly at the praise.
