Qiaoying sighed helplessly. She felt that her young mistress had changed, to the point that she hardly recognized her anymore.
“Go back to the Wen family. You are a servant of the Wen family and should stay there. I don’t have your indenture here, so you still need the Wen family to deal with you.”
Wen Qihe glanced at her and said calmly.
"But, Miss, I've served you for so long, and I'm a little reluctant to leave you. Could you please talk to Miss Cen and ask her not to let me go?"
Qiaoying grew up with Wen Qihe, and it's hard for her to leave her all of a sudden.
“She doesn’t like me right now, and there’s nothing I can do about it. You should go back to the Wen family first. In a month or two, I’ll settle things with her and then let you go up the mountain.”
Wen Qihe glanced at the two people walking away and said helplessly.
"Okay, then remember to call me back, Miss."
Qiaoying nodded, somewhat disappointed.
Let's go!
Wen Qihe waved to Qiaoying and watched her leave.
After Qiaoying walked away, she slowly walked towards Cenxi's courtyard.
...
As night deepened, Cen Xi slept soundly, holding Xiao Yu in her arms, when suddenly a hidden arrow shot straight at her brow. Immediately afterward, a group of people burst through the door, approaching Cen Xi's bedside step by step with knives in hand.
Sensing the approaching danger, Cen Xi instantly grabbed Xiao Yu and rolled into the bed, bursting out of the bedspread in a flash.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass on my Flying Phoenix Mountain?"
"Hey, you're the one who's going to kill me, take this!"
Just as Cen Xi found a roof beam to take shelter from, the leader of the group approached her with a sharp sword aura.
Cen Xi, carrying Xiao Yu, couldn't easily use her martial arts skills; her clothes were torn. She immediately leaped out of the window and called to Zhu Yan Niang next door:
"Zhu Yanniang, come out and help quickly, it's really inconvenient for me to be holding a child."
While dealing with the people who came chasing after her, Cen Xi shouted at Zhu Yanniang, who lived in the next room.
"Damn it, who is it that stays up all night doing such filthy things? Cen Xi, who did you offend to be so reckless as to want to kill you?"
As soon as Cen Xi finished speaking, Zhu Yanniang joined the battle fully clothed.
"He's sick. What kind of people would a perfectly good girl like me attract? Now, protect the little fish."
Taking advantage of the chaos, Cen Xi replied, then used the momentum of sliding down to throw the little fish into Zhu Yanniang's arms.
Zhu Yanniang took it without hesitation and also cursed:
"You're sick. These martial arts skills are advanced, but you can handle them by yourself. I'll leave them to you and just watch the show with Little Fish."
Zhu Yanniang picked up Xiaoyu, showing no interest in fighting, and pushed her aside to watch Cen Xi kill with effortless grace.
The little fish in her arms wasn't afraid at all; its eyes were wide open, and it was even muttering something:
"Mother, over there, tap him on the head. Mother, there's a hidden arrow over there, you have to dodge it!"
"Little girl, aren't you afraid?"
Zhu Yanniang pinched Xiaoyu's little face and smiled.
"I'm not afraid at all. My mother will protect me. Look, none of them are a match for my mother."
Little Fish looked smug, her hands restlessly tugging at Zhu Yanniang's sleeve.
"Since you enjoy watching your mother fight so much, how about you learn martial arts from me in the future? Your aunt's martial arts skills are very impressive."
Seeing that Cen Xi had killed more than ten people in an instant, Zhu Yanniang suddenly set her sights on Cen Xi's daughter.
“No, Mother said that we can listen to anyone on this mountain, but not you. She said you always have bad ideas in your head and think about men all day long, which is not good. She told Xiaoyu not to learn from you. Besides, Mother said she will teach me martial arts in the future. Your martial arts are not as good as my mother's, so why should I learn from you?”
Zhu Yanniang never expected that this little girl, who was only about four years old, would be so fluent in speech, and even scold her for thinking about men all day long.
That wretched woman, Cen Xi, I'll settle the score with her soon enough.
Just as Zhu Yanniang was thinking this, a man in black appeared out of nowhere, whose martial arts skills were more than ten times better than those of the men in black from before.
Upon his arrival, Cen Xi felt an immediate increase in pressure, and even her sharp sword energy became somewhat dulled.
"Little Fish, it seems your mother has met her match. What do you say if you agree to become my apprentice, I'll go and help your mother?"
After a fight, everyone who was supposed to wake up woke up. Zhu Yanniang glanced at A Xiang and deliberately said to Xiao Yu.
"No, Mother is the best. She can win without your help. She doesn't need your help, an outsider."
With a dark expression, Xiaoyu slid down from Zhu Yanniang and walked towards A Xiang. She felt that this aunt was definitely not a good person, and she didn't want to stand with a bad person.
After walking to A Xiang's side and being picked up by A Xiang, Zhu Yanniang looked at her with the eyes of someone looking at a bad guy.
Seeing her expression, Zhu Yanniang opened her mouth several times, but ultimately remained silent. She was already twenty-seven years old; she shouldn't hold a grudge against a child.
Seeing that after the powerful man appeared, more than a dozen others appeared as well. Zhu Yanniang couldn't stand it any longer and joined the battle with her sword.
She had been in the martial arts world for six or seven years, and her bloodthirsty nature had long been ingrained. So when these people came, she could have a good fight.
"Cen Xi, you handle that powerful person, I'll take care of these small fry for you. When the time comes, your daughter will have to become my apprentice."
After Zhu Yanniang joined the battle, she didn't forget to shout something at Cen Xi, who was locked in a fierce fight.
"Whether she wants to take on apprentices depends on whether she herself is willing."
After taking a moment to reply to Zhu Yanniang, Cen Xi turned to the man in black beside her and said:
"Your Excellency, could you be Emperor Taizu Yan Shengxiao? After hiding for so long, you've finally decided to show yourself?"
"..."
The man in black did not answer. The sharp sword energy was infused with another layer of internal force, heading straight for Cen Xi's waist. Cen Xi reacted quickly, performing a somersault to land behind him, and then, with incredible speed, he crawled between the man's legs.
Hmph! You think I can't do anything if you don't answer?
Pulling down his pants is inhumane, but she's always been thick-skinned, so she's not afraid of him at all.
Just as Cen Xi finished pulling down the other person's pants, the other person reacted and flipped in mid-air, instantly retreating ten feet away from Cen Xi.
While he was turning over, Cen Xi took advantage of the moonlight to carefully examine his thigh. However, the moonlight was too bright tonight, and besides seeing the birthmark on his thigh, she also saw something that was an eyesore.
Cen Xi was speechless, lamenting that she was too strong and had actually pulled off the other person's underwear.
However, this person really was Emperor Taizu of Han, as he did indeed have a birthmark on his left thigh.
Just as Cen Xi was marveling at the scene, the man suddenly made a move, sealing Cen Xi's major acupoints with his internal force from ten feet away.
Cen Xi cursed instantly. How come every master in this world can strike pressure points in mid-air? Is she really going to die at his hands today?
"Shameless vixen, today I..."
Before the man could finish speaking, Shen Jinchen, dressed in white, suddenly descended gracefully, pointing a finger at the man's vital points.
