Good heavens, the ancestor has gone to confess his love again!

Meng Yuxuan kept talking, but Xu Pingsheng frowned slightly.

The master of Tingxue Pavilion...

This name sounds somewhat familiar!

She seems to be Xu Laowu's dream lover; from childhood to old age, her house has been covered with her portraits.

It must be said that, judging from the portrait, she is indeed still charming and a very attractive young woman!

If Xu Laowu knew that his dream lover, whom he had secretly loved for hundreds of years, had remarried and had a child, would he break down and cry for three days and three nights again?

The thought of his still-single fifth and sixth brothers made Xu Pingsheng furious.

He's useless at everything, and at his age, he can't even find a wife. What a good-for-nothing!

As for the "uncle" Meng Yuxuan mentioned, he expressed considerable contempt.

It's obvious to anyone with a brain that this is a lonely, older woman who has fallen victim to a meticulously planned scam!

It would be one thing if she just lived off a woman, but now she's had a child and plans to inherit her family's wealth. How could the original descendants not be worried?

But what does that have to do with him!

Xu Pingsheng nodded in agreement: "Yeah, he doesn't sound like a good person at all. I don't know what kind of family raised a man who would ask for a dowry. But Xuanxuan, you're right. It's ultimately a matter for the elders. We can just complain about it in private, but we still need to be polite in person."

"Alright, let's go then. We can tend to the herb garden on the back hill when we get back. Let's go pick out some gifts outside the palace!"

After saying that, Meng Yuxuan turned and walked out of the palace.

Xu Pingsheng smiled faintly and followed.

…………

As they descended the mountain and left the celestial palace.

A furtive figure stealthily slipped into a luxurious private room halfway up the mountain.

"Brother Ye, Xu Pingsheng and an old woman have gone down the mountain!"

What?!

Ye Han suddenly slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and burst into laughter:

"Hahaha~~ I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"

"Back then, he ruined my grand plan to confess my feelings, and that bitch Wen Lingxi even went into seclusion for more than two years. I was furious!"

"That old bastard has been hiding in the back mountains for over two years, and I've never been able to find an opportunity to kill him. This time, I've finally decided to come down the mountain. Hehe~ This time, I can't let him die too easily!"

"It's a pity. Last time we sent people to wipe out the Xu family, but they were already in ruins. Hmph! Looks like that old man has a lot of enemies!"

"Let's go, this time, I'm going to personally torment him!"

A murderous intent surged in Ye Han's eyes, a ruthless glint of someone about to exact revenge.

"Alright, to avoid any unforeseen complications, let's set off immediately!"

…………

On the road.

Xu Pingsheng, driving a cloud-borne vehicle rented by the sect, glanced at Meng Yuxuan, a gentle smile curving his lips:

"Little sister Xuanxuan, we're almost at Yunxi City, the largest city nearby. Once we get there, I'll take you to eat osmanthus sugar cake at Wangchuanlou. I'm sure you'll love it."

Before the words were finished, a chilling aura suddenly surged in the air, and several silver darts coated with deadly poison shot out from both sides with a sharp whistling sound.

Xu Pingsheng was overjoyed.

Just as he was thinking about how to get closer to Meng Yuxuan, someone came to his aid.

"There's an ambush, be careful!"

Xu Pingsheng gave a low shout, his left hand suddenly grabbing Meng Yuxuan's slender waist, holding her as they drew a graceful arc in the air before landing steadily.

As he turned over, Xu Pingsheng's hand, which was supporting her waist, accidentally shifted slightly, and his fingertips inadvertently slid down an inch along the smooth, delicate skin of her waist...

As if stimulated by something, Meng Yuxuan, whose body instinctively wanted to resist, suddenly opened her mouth, her phoenix eyes widened, and her whole body stiffened.

Meng Yuxuan felt her mind explode with a buzzing sound.

How dare he...?

lecher!

Even if it happens suddenly, you still shouldn't touch other people's things...

Waaaaah~~

"Xuanxuan, don't worry, as long as I'm alive, I will never let you get hurt!"

Xu Pingsheng's voice rang out at the right moment, deep and firm.

This made Meng Yuxuan's heart tremble once again.

Is this the sense of security that men provide by protecting you?

Would a man really risk his life for a woman?

"Oh my gosh~~ A hero saving a damsel in distress, so touching~~ Hahaha~~ I'm dying of laughter!"

"Pah! Two old hags, what are you doing putting on this life-or-death farewell act? How disgusting!"

"Don't worry, today I'll let you watch your old flame get sliced ​​to pieces alive!"

Accompanied by a burst of mocking laughter, Ye Han and the others walked out from both sides.

Ye Han stared intently at Xu Pingsheng, then grinned maliciously: "Old man, I've finally waited for this day. Did you think about this calamity when you offended me?"

"Huh?" Xu Pingsheng was taken aback, his face full of confusion: "Who are you?"

puff~~

Upon hearing this, Ye Han felt a sudden tightness in his chest and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

I've hated him for two and a half years, and it turns out this old bastard doesn't even recognize me!

"I'm Ye Han!" Veins bulged on his forehead. "Back then, you intercepted me halfway and ruined my confession ceremony to that bitch Wen Lingxi. You dare say you don't remember?"

These words instantly jolted Meng Yuxuan, who was still savoring the lingering tingling sensation on her fingertips.

She took a step forward, her face frosty, her voice as still as an icy pool:

"Ye Han! You are a descendant of the Ye family and the new senior disciple of the Immortal Palace, yet you dare to utter foul language towards Her Highness the Holy Maiden and even attempt to kill members of the Immortal Palace here. Aren't you afraid of enraging the three Palace Masters and having you reduced to ashes?"

Hahaha~~

Ye Han let out an extremely arrogant laugh.

"Naive! As expected, Xu Pingsheng and that old bastard are a match made in heaven! Let alone whether the Palace Master knows about this, even if he does, so what? The Deputy Palace Master is my second ancestor. With my status, what can he do to me by killing two insignificant servants?"

"You—" Meng Yuxuan bit her lip lightly, her chest heaving.

Xu Pingsheng gently shook his head, reaching out to shield her behind him again. The warmth of his palm seeped through her clothes, his voice still gentle and warm:

"Xuanxuan, let me handle things like this from now on. You just need to stand behind me."

As he finished speaking, he looked up at Ye Han, all the warmth in his eyes vanished, leaving only a resolute acceptance of death:

"Ye Han, if you have a grudge against me, then come at me. Xuanxuan is innocent. Let her go, and I will let you do whatever you want with her."

What?!

Meng Yuxuan's delicate body trembled, and she suddenly looked up at the increasingly tall figure, her beautiful eyes sparkling with admiration.

Does true love that transcends life and death truly exist in this world...?

"Oh~~ You've met your true love~~" Ye Han seemed to have discovered something amusing, a strong sense of mockery flashing in his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a small jade bottle from his storage ring, raised an eyebrow, and said with amusement:

"Old man, this small bottle contains a rare poison called 'Ten Thousand Ants Eroding the Heart.' Once ingested, its effects spread along the meridians, like thousands of poisonous ants gnawing at the internal organs and bone marrow, causing excruciating pain from the inside out, leaving one wishing for death!"

He shook the jade bottle, his voice laced with both seduction and cruelty: "If you drink it willingly, I'll let this old Xuanxuan leave, how about it?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Pingsheng's lips twitched.

Are you really not a shill I hired?

This isn't about killing me, it's clearly about helping me gain favor!

With his pure yang body, he is virtually immune to all poisons, and this level of erotic poison cannot penetrate his meridians at all.

Without any hesitation, Xu Pingsheng snatched the small jade bottle.

"don't want--"
