Xiangmei panicked immediately, "No, A-Yang won't kill me, Mu Tiantian, just give up on that idea!"

She shouted out the last sentence, as if only in this way could she feel more confident.

"Of course I'm telling the truth. The treasure map is in my hands, as long as you kill her." Mu Tiantian put down her sword and pushed Xiangmei out.

Feng Yang was even more swift and decisive, stabbing Xiang Mei in the chest with his sword and coldly saying, "Just a worthless life."

Xiangmei's eyes widened as if the world had collapsed. She questioned, "You... how could you... how could you... do this to me? You said... you would make me the sect leader's wife."

Feng Yang laughed twice, "You, a mere pheasant, want to become a phoenix? What a pipe dream. I've been using you all along."

“But you…you gave me…the jade pendant…” Xiangmei tremblingly took out an exquisite jade pendant.

Feng Yang grabbed a handful of things, smashed them on the ground, and said smugly, "I just bought this on the street. I would be disgusted even if you gave it to me for free. If you weren't still of some use, do you think I would be willing to play along with you?"

Xiangmei finally came to her senses after hearing these words.

In this man's eyes, she meant nothing.

If it weren't for her managing Wushuang Manor, he would never have approached her.

Mu Tiantian never expected Feng Yang to be so ruthless and decisive, killing without hesitation.

She walked over to Xiangmei and supported her frail body, whispering in her ear, "Ever since you finished practicing the Fiery Palm, have you been experiencing excruciating abdominal pain every month when you have your period, like being burned by flames, and no medicine can relieve it? You never used to have this problem, did you?"

Upon hearing this, Xiangmei realized that she did indeed have this problem.

But she always thought it was just because she was getting older, because other women also experience severe pain during their periods.

"That's because your constitution is extremely yin and cold. If you practice the Flaming Palm, it will backfire on your body and make you infertile. Most importantly, if you practice it for too long, your organs will be melted away, and you will die a gruesome death."

“The Xuanbing Palm is an extremely yin and cold martial art. If you practice it, your body will freeze and you will eventually freeze to death,” Mu Tiantian said disappointedly. “Do you think I’m not letting you learn these things because I don’t want to?”

"The sword techniques I taught you and Xiao Cui are to improve your physical condition. Only when your body is in good condition can you learn these martial arts manuals with demanding requirements. Before I left, I told my master that once your body is in good condition, he will give you the manuals."

"It's a pity that all my efforts have been wasted." Mu Tiantian let go, letting her body fall down. "From the first day you entered the manor, I told you that since the manor took you in, it would definitely take responsibility for you to the end. You didn't believe me, so I have nothing more to say."

"Fortunately, you are not Xiangxue's biological sister, otherwise I would have had to save your life. But it's good this way, so that Xiangxue can see you clearly after you go down."

Mu Tiantian said that this was a way to let her die knowing why.

Xiangmei had never thought this way before. She couldn't help but feel regret, resentment, and hatred for being used by Fengyang. In the end, she couldn't even die in peace.

"Mu Tiantian, stop talking nonsense, where is the treasure map?" Feng Yang wanted to get the treasure map before Tuoba Qing arrived.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud "Bang!" was heard.

A magnificent firework bursts into the sky as the sun sets.

Feng Yang sneered, "What, you want to call more people over? Let me tell you, the imperial army will be here soon. No matter how many people you have from Wushuang Manor and Xuanbing Pavilion, can they outnumber the imperial army? If you know what's good for you, hand over the treasure map quickly!"

"Fengyang, I remember I only asked you to surround Wushuang Manor, not to do anything else."

A gentle male voice sounded from behind Mu Tiantian.

Feng Yang looked up at the man in the python robe who had led the troops, and her imposing manner instantly deflated. She said ingratiatingly, "Brother-in-law..."

Tuoba Qing's eyes turned cold, and Feng Yang quickly changed his address, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Mu Tiantian turned around and looked at Tuoba Qing, who was dressed in noble clothes. Compared to five years ago, he looked much more mature, steady, and dignified.

"I wonder what brings Your Highness to my Wushuang Manor?" Mu Tiantian asked knowingly, glancing at the number of soldiers behind him and smiling slightly, "Such a grand display."

After a long pause, she stopped smiling. "It seems the Crown Prince doesn't intend to keep his promise?"

Tuoba Qing opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

System: [Bei Mingchuan's corruption value decreased by 10, currently at 60.]

Why did it suddenly drop?

Mu Tiantian: [Seven Unifications?]

Seven Systems: [...]

They're still not back.

However, with the life-saving system activated, she wasn't worried.

Seeing that Tuoba Qing was standing there in a daze, Fengyang stepped forward to remind him, "Your Highness, Mu Tiantian said that the treasure map is in her hands."

Tuoba Qing snapped out of his daze, noticed the several corpses on the ground, his eyes darkened, and he glanced at Feng Yang, "Did you do all this?"

"I just wanted to help His Highness the Crown Prince find the treasure map as soon as possible, so I took some measures," Feng Yang replied cautiously.

Despite the Phoenix Buddha Sect's high standing in the martial arts world, it could never defeat the imperial court.

Moreover, his father is dead, and he alone cannot make Fengfo Sect the number one sect in the martial arts world.

Furthermore, her father had agreed to her entering the palace earlier, suggesting that he also had the idea of ​​seeking refuge with the imperial court.

So he took advantage of the court's ban on martial arts to return home.

However, he also had his own selfish motives. He planned to find the treasure map and keep it for himself, then secretly find the treasure and become emperor.

Mu Tiantian could see through his thoughts at a glance, and said softly, "Young Master Feng is in such a hurry for the treasure map, could it be that you want to keep it for yourself?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Fengyang exclaimed anxiously, and hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, I didn't do that. Don't listen to her nonsense."

Tuoba Qing said coldly, "Take some men and go out to guard the area. Don't let anyone enter or leave the manor."

Feng Yang opened his mouth, wanting to explain further, but seeing the chilling glint in Tuoba Qing's eyes, he had no choice but to shut his mouth and obey orders.

In less than fifteen minutes, the surroundings became much quieter.

"Does Your Highness have something to say to me?" Mu Tiantian asked with a faint smile, but her tone was indifferent and aloof.

"Tian Tian..."

Mu Tiantian raised her hand to stop her, "You can just call me Miss Mu."

Tuoba Qing pursed his lips, reluctantly but still respectfully addressing her, "Miss Mu, did you really die or fake it back then?"

"I'm still alive now, so whether I really died or faked it back then is no longer important."

"How can it not be important? You're lying to me." Even the usually composed Tuoba Qing couldn't control himself at this moment.

"Haven't you ever lied to me?" Mu Tiantian glanced at his legs, her meaning clear.

Tuoba Qing remained silent.

He did lie to her.
