In the alley in front of the Princess's residence.
The lamplight couldn't penetrate; only the faint moonlight poured onto the ground.
A figure as elegant as an orchid and as beautiful as jade was reflected in the water.
Tall and lonely.
The sound of a longsword slicing through the air rang out.
The man lightly touched the ground with his feet, leaned back, and flew like an immortal, dodging the defense while striking out with a palm.
The newcomer could only dodge in a panic, using his longsword to block the palm strike, and staggered several steps before finally regaining his footing.
Dressed in red, she was charming and overjoyed.
It was Du Luanfeng.
"Brother Yunhan, it's been half a year since we last met, and your martial arts have improved so much. Even my master praised my 'Surprising Sword' move as full of spiritual energy, yet you easily broke it."
As she spoke, she sheathed her longsword and took two steps forward.
"You've come to find me to fulfill your promise and ride with me on horseback?"
Mo Yunhan is no longer the impetuous, lonely, and arrogant young general he once was.
His heart sank, and he suddenly bowed respectfully.
"Miss Du, I have a request."
Du Luanfeng was startled and stomped her foot playfully.
"What are you doing? Just call me Luanfeng. Tell me what's wrong, and I'll help you if it's within my power."
Mo Yunhan straightened up.
"I've heard that the Free and Unfettered Sword Sect possesses a supreme treasure called the Seven-Colored Phoenix Grass. Is that true?"
Du Luanfeng's expression was solemn.
"Brother Yunhan, you want the Seven-Colored Phoenix Grass? What do you need it for?"
She suddenly realized what was happening and her eyebrows furrowed in anger.
"You're doing this for Jiang Qingwan? Isn't she a Xuanmen master? Even Su Weichuan was defeated by her, and you've spoiled her to the point of being lawless. Does she really need you to beg me to find the Seven-Colored Phoenix Grass?"
Mo Yunhan didn't want to argue with her.
"Consider this a favor I owe you, and I will certainly repay it."
Seeing that he did not refute, Du Luanfeng
He sneered, "It seems that defeating Su Weichuan and resolving the crisis in the palace wasn't so easy for her. The Seven-Colored Phoenix Grass is a holy medicine for healing. If she hadn't suffered a fatal injury, no one would have risked going to the Free and Unfettered Sword Sect to seize its treasure."
Mo Yunhan pursed his lips, offering no further explanation.
"I have no need for you to take risks. I only want a map. Whether you get it or not is none of your business. Even if I am captured alive, I will not reveal a single word."
A flash of jealousy and displeasure crossed Du Luanfeng's eyes.
How could a woman who had been abandoned by others catch Mo Yunhan's eye?
That great hero, who fought bravely on the battlefield like a god of war descending to earth, should not be defiled by such a woman.
She slightly raised her chin.
“Brother Yunhan, you’re mistaken. I am an inner disciple of the Free and Unfettered Sword Sect, and my master is the head of the Twelve Peaks and the acting sect leader. The Seven-Colored Phoenix Grass is a treasure of our sect. If I help you steal it, it would be tantamount to betraying the sect.”
Mo Yunhan also knew that it was somewhat unreasonable to ask such a question.
Seeing that she was unwilling, he didn't say anything more.
"I understand."
After saying that, he prepared to leave.
Du Luanfeng quickly stepped in front of her.
"Why are you in such a hurry? I didn't say I wouldn't help. Given our relationship, why would I put you in a difficult position? The Seven-Colored Phoenix Grass is in the Sword Tomb. Unless you lead an elite force to besiege it, you can't get into the Sword Tomb unless you're an inner disciple. Even if you do get in, getting the Phoenix Grass will still be extremely difficult."
"I can take you in, and I can help you break those formations. But I want you to marry me and Luanfei and become equal wives."
"impossible!"
Mo Yunhan refused outright, and the next moment, Du Luanfeng reached out and touched his chest.
"Brother Yunhan, you'd better think this through. Since we're already using the Seven-Colored Phoenix Grass, it means the situation is beyond saving. She can't afford to wait this long."
These words pierced Mo Yunhan's heart like a sharp blade.
He grabbed Du Luanfeng's wrist with a murderous glint in his eyes.
It was almost crushed.
"I warn you, if you dare to utter another word, I will kill you."
Du Luanfeng was not afraid at all.
The pain made his body tremble, but he stubbornly held his head up and refused to budge an inch.
Under the moonlight, their intertwined figures were ambiguous and unclear.
A sharp shout suddenly came from the alley entrance.
What are you doing?
Upon hearing the voice, Mo Yunhan was startled.
Immediately let go and move forward to meet them.
Qing Sui, carrying a lantern, followed closely behind Jiang Qingwan.
The moment they met, Jiang Qingwan seemed not to see Mo Yunhan at all, and rushed straight towards Du Luanfeng.
With black spiritual energy gathering in his hand, he attacked without saying a word.
Du Luanfeng would never willingly be suppressed.
A strong fighting spirit shone in his eyes.
He drew his sword and attacked.
Although Jiang Qingwan's talismans were incredibly powerful, she didn't know any martial arts.
Du Luanfeng easily dodged it with her light-footed skills.
She became even angrier.
He quickly gathered more spiritual energy in his hands, preparing to intensify his attack.
Mo Yunhan was extremely anxious, fearing that her injuries would worsen, so he stepped forward and grabbed her wrist.
"Wan'er, let me explain..."
"Bang!"
Jiang Qingwan threw out the attack talisman without hesitation, which slammed into his chest.
Mo Yunhan was caught off guard.
He was hit so hard he vomited blood.
Du Luanfeng was furious.
"How dare you hurt him? You're asking for death!"
His sword strikes were like a rainbow, determined to teach Jiang Qingwan a lesson.
"don't want!"
Mo Yunhan rushed over and pulled Jiang Qingwan into his arms. It was too late to dodge the sword attack.
Jiang Qingwan, however, condensed a ball of black spiritual energy behind him and hurled it directly at Du Luanfeng.
Seeing Mo Yunhan blocking her way, Du Luanfeng had already intended to hold back her strength, but the sudden attack forced her to dodge in a sorry state.
The flying sword techniques failed to reduce the attack by much.
