I'm the first granddaughter-in-law officially recognized by the authorities!
Hmph!
Unfortunately, this harmonious atmosphere was quickly and unpleasantly interrupted by Cheng Gujian's grinding teeth.
The Duke of Gujian settled in Bengbu.
To be fair, as a Grand Duke who held a very high position, he had mastered the art of keeping his emotions hidden for so many years that even if someone were to stage a coup, it was unlikely that you would see a single expression on his face.
But now he's really a bit vulnerable.
It was one thing to be cursed at by Dongfang Xiao just now, but what are you doing now?
Anyone who didn't know better would think it was a family reunion! Are they going to have dinner together later?
I am rebelling!
Nobody cares?
Do I not care about saving face?
"...I've completely forgotten that there's more important stuff to do."
The grinding of teeth successfully attracted Wen Shengkui's attention, and he gestured to Xia Wuyou, "Xia family girl, you protect that little girl first."
"I'll go find that brat Xu Shi after I've cleaned up this place. Let's make it clear first, you can't interfere when I teach him a lesson."
"yes."
Xia Wuyou nodded quickly; she wouldn't interfere.
这和爱不爱许时关系不大，再爱许时也无法否认那家伙很欠揍的事实。
She, along with the other girls, had little chance to deal with him, and over time, they all tacitly reached an understanding.
It's rare to see Xu Shi get his comeuppance; this kind of scene is quite uncommon.
However, now is not the time to talk about this. She knew that what happened next was beyond her control. All she could do was protect Dongfang Xiao.
"Thank you, Madam Xia."
The little empress thanked her.
"You're welcome, but it would be troublesome if you died."
Xia Wuyou spoke her mind, "Xu Shi has trained you for so long, if we replace you with a new person, wouldn't we be doing the same work overtime?"
"..."
Dongfang Xiao was speechless.
Although she knew that this was indeed the case, if Xu Shi won a great victory today, he could unilaterally break the contract, remove her from power, replace her with a more reliable person of his own, or even take the throne himself.
If that's the case, her fate will either be to lose her usefulness and die suddenly, or she will be kept by Xu Shi as a Xingnu powerhouse...
But don't say it outright! Leave some hope, okay? Xu Shi should keep his promise... right?
In short, this Mrs. Xia is really annoying!
Waaaaah, I miss Teacher Xie, oh no, Sister Xie, on my first day here.
While she was secretly shedding tears, Wen Shengkui finally began to take his opponent seriously.
"SS-rank? No wonder that kid Xu Shi insisted on calling me here."
His eyes regained their coldness. "Your name is Cheng Gujian? It's a good thing to be able to fight you."
"Come on, let me see how strong you are."
"...Then let's see who's the best!"
Cheng Gujian didn't waste any words. His spear reignited with gray flames, and he unleashed a killing move right away!
He certainly sensed the danger as well. His skirmishes with Xia Wuyou were minor, but this old man in front of him was no ordinary person!
Although he doesn't consider his opponent to be in the "God Realm," which is SSS, he still has to go all out against opponents of similar strength!
The spear shot out like a dragon, its offensive power far surpassing that against Xia Wuyou, even causing black spots to appear in the surrounding space, as if it had been completely destroyed.
Faced with the opponent's offensive, Wen Shengkui also became serious.
"defense."
The old man remained still and recited softly.
The next second, Cheng Gujian felt immense resistance around him, making it extremely difficult to move forward even an inch.
He frowned subconsciously.
He knew that Wen Shengkui was quite strong, but he had no idea what the other party's abilities were. This shot also carried a strong sense of probing.
So his ability... is protection?
Before he could confirm, Wen Shengkui's voice came again.
"die."
In an instant, Cheng Gujian felt the surrounding air turn icy cold, as if a demon were clinging to his body, constantly devouring his life force.
This is bad!
Grand Duke Gu Jian felt a chill run down his spine, clearly not expecting the opponent's abilities to be so domineering.
However, his response was quick enough; he paused with his spear, and wisps of gray mist rose around him.
His complexion improved slightly as the ashes burned like flames.
"...Mistress Xia, what's going on with them?"
Dongfang Xiao blinked and asked, looking puzzled.
If she could at least watch the show of Xia Wuyou and Cheng Gujian's duel earlier, she really couldn't understand it at all now.
Although I didn't feel that the confrontation between the two was anything earth-shattering, there was something strange about it.
Xia Wuyou pursed his lips, but didn't hesitate to explain it to her.
She was well aware of Old Master Wen's ability that "knowledge is power." The scene of him annihilating the S-rank Dragon Heaven Cauldron with a single wave of his hand during the riot in Sin City a year ago was still vivid in her mind.
It seems that the old man's abilities have improved during this year at sea.
It's not difficult for him to improve his abilities; as long as he maintains a normal intake of knowledge, he will definitely see improvement.
Although his chances of reaching SSS rank are slim due to his physical condition, there is no doubt that he is among the top SS-rank individuals.
At least for now, he has reached the level of "his words becoming law".
When he says he wants to defend, he can establish an invisible, absolute defense; when he says he wants to die, death can come upon Cheng Gujian without him even realizing it.
