"Did Yu Yunzhai have many capable women?"
Now married, Yang Huanyun's demeanor is completely different from before. Although she still habitually wears a white shirt, the heroic spirit between her brows and eyes has a mature and dashing charm.
She sneered at Master Baidong, "A man like you who looks down on women, do you know how many women in this world you can't handle?"
Master Baidong seemed to want to buy some time to rest, or perhaps he wanted to probe Yang Huanyun's true strength further, so he asked in return, "I would like to hear the details. Tell me."
"Yang Taozhi, can you handle that?"
Yang Huanyun asked, a hint of disdain still showing on his lips.
Master Baidong honestly said, "Of course I am no match for her. I certainly cannot afford to offend a woman who can borrow half of Changsui City's swords."
Yang Huanyun then said, "Little Qingcheng Gong Xue has already pledged allegiance to my elder brother. Can you afford to offend her?"
Master Baidong thought for a moment and said, "The Sword Immortal Qingcheng is famous throughout the world. I certainly wouldn't dare say I can deal with her most outstanding disciple."
"Then what makes you think you can come to Yu Yun Zhai?" Qianqian Xiaoshou
"Isn't that because neither of them is here?"
"You're quite honest."
Yang Huanyun changed the subject and continued, "But here we are, there's me, there's Atao, and we're both top-notch experts. There's also Zhou Nuo, the first female instructor of Dajing and a sharpshooter. And Deng Yanjiao with her poisonous body. The four of us working together, not to mention Yang Taozhi, are at least no worse than Xiao Qingcheng Gong Xue. What makes you think you're confident you can get out of this Yuyunzhai?"
Master Baidong remained silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
The leaves underfoot rustled and vibrated.
"Why are you laughing? Did I say something wrong?" Yang Huanyun asked.
Master Baidong said, "I know you. You used to be the best spearman in the Maoshan Sect, but... do you just rely on words to fight?"
Yang Huanyun said seriously, "My words are only for my husband, not for my enemies."
"Then you shall die!"
Suddenly, Master Baidong made a move, sending several lotus-shaped thorns flying towards Yang Huanyun with a wave of his hand.
Up until now, Master Baidong's Lotus Thorn technique has always involved firing one thorn at a time; this is the first time he has fired more than one thorn at the same time.
A single lotus thorn can be broken down into dozens of thorns, and if several of them are broken down, then there are dozens of thorns in total.
And at the same time, it was fired at Yang Huanyun.
Yuan Yun was right next to Yang Huanyun, which already posed a threat to Yuan Yun!
Yang Huanyun's expression immediately turned serious. He immediately stood in front of Yuan Yun and began to spin his spear.
Zhou Nuo also fired a series of arrows at Yang Huanyun.
Just then, Master Baidong's body turned into a blur and rushed straight towards Atao!
Dealing with Yang Huanyun was just a pretext; his real target was Atao!
But Atao and the others were concerned about Yuan Yun and had no idea about Bai Dong Zhenren's true motives.
By the time Atao realized what was happening, Master Baidong was already only a step away from her, and in his hand he was holding a lotus thorn.
In Atao's pupils, the lotus thorns grew larger and larger.
It was about to pierce her body!
Bang!!!
A tremendous force of blade energy descended, creating a large crater between Atao and Master Baidong.
Bai Dong Zhenren was forced back, and the disintegrating Lotus Thorn in his hand was deflected by a blade. He raised his head and looked at the man who appeared in the smoke and dust in front of him. The eyes on the half of his face that was exposed revealed a strange expression.
As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, Zhao Hu swung his broken sword, the tip pointing to the ground.
"You dare to bully my woman? You deserve to die!"
Atao tugged at Zhao Hu's arm and reminded him, "Although this person is a top expert just like us, he's very powerful."
Zhao Hu said, "I know, otherwise you would have beaten me down long ago."
Master Baidong suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Finally, a man has arrived at Yuyunzhai."
Zhao Hu raised his arm, pointing his sword at Master Baidong, and said arrogantly, "I've heard you're very powerful. Shall we have some fun?"
Master Baidong said, "Now that you've mastered the Two-Broken Blade, you're indeed different from before."
Zhao Hu asked, "What do you mean? I don't know you, don't try to befriend me."
Atao whispered, "He knows my identity as someone who came from the Black Mountain Grottoes, and he can predict my attacks."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hu's expression darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "Is it really an acquaintance?"
"Haha, hahaha—"
Master Baidong suddenly burst into laughter and shouted, "Long time no see, Yi!"
...
"You'll help me?"
A voice pierced the air from the imperial prison.
The voice was gentle, yet it made Zhao Zhan immediately shut up and curl up like a hedgehog.
Zhao Zhan slowly turned around, and when he saw who was behind him, he called out, "Big brother, you're back!"
Zhao Cheng walked up to Zhao Zhan and smiled slightly.
Snap!
A slap landed across Zhao Zhan's face, leaving a red handprint.
Zhao Zhan covered his face and said, "Big brother, you hit me..."
Zhao Cheng said, "So what if I hit you? Haven't you been hit enough these past few years? Have you forgotten what it feels like?"
Upon hearing this, before Zhao Zhan could react, Miao Donglin, Miao Rusong, and the seven Baihe generals knelt down simultaneously.
"Greetings, Young Marshal!!!"
Zhao Cheng ignored them and looked at Zhao Zhan, saying, "Do you know why I hit you?"
Zhao Zhan remained silent.
Zhao Cheng glanced at Zhao Yan and continued, "It's one thing for you to do something wrong, but you also want to drag Lao San down with you and make him do something foolish?"
Zhao Zhan shouted, "I didn't kill people indiscriminately! My Zhao family killed a few people in the imperial prison, and Dong Xiao stopped us. Am I not allowed to teach him a lesson?"
Snap!
Zhao Cheng slapped him again, still speaking in a gentle tone, "Do you know what the consequences would be if it were your father instead of me coming tonight?"
"I don't know!!!" Zhao Zhan said stubbornly.
Zhao Cheng kicked Zhao Zhan to the ground, his tone finally becoming stern as he pointed at Chen Changyun and said, "If Father comes, you'll live with him!"
Chen Changyun immediately said, "Your Highness, I can give him this private room."
"Get lost!" Zhao Cheng glared at Chen Changyun.
Seeing that Zhao Zhan was still sulking, Zhao Cheng turned around and glanced at Miao Donglin and the others, saying, "These people are all accomplices, aren't they? Lord Dong, lock them all up."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhan immediately knelt down and cried out, "Brother! They were just following my orders, it has nothing to do with them!!"
"Yeah?"
Zhao Cheng walked up to Miao Donglin and asked, "Are you Miao Shaohua's brother?"
Miao Donglin trembled slightly as he replied, "Replying to the young marshal, I am Miao Shaohua's cousin."
“I have already reviewed your resume, and you are qualified to be the Grand Secretary.”
With that, Zhao Cheng ignored Miao Donglin and walked up to Miao Rusong, saying, "Raise your head."
Miao Rusong slowly raised his head.
"I have met the young marshal."
Zhao Cheng said, "Child, you've grown up."
Miao Rusong kowtowed and said, "I was able to grow up thanks to the young marshal's pardon."
Zhao Cheng suddenly sneered, "I pardoned you and let you grow up. And now, you want to kill my unborn child. Is this how you repay me?"
