From a slave to the Great Qian Martial Saint

Bang! Bang bang!

The sound of the clapper rang out, sometimes slow, sometimes fast, indicating that it was already past midnight.

As the saying goes, it was the dead of night, and apart from a few hall lamps, all the lights in the Marquis's mansion had already been turned off.

The bustling mansions of the daytime were now as quiet as the smaller, humble dwellings under the dark night sky.

"who!"

In the bedroom, Madam Li Qinghan suddenly woke up and saw a dark shadow reflected in the window.

Li Qinghan secretly gathered strength in his hands, ready to make a move at any moment.

Snapped!

Suddenly, a figure outside raised his hand, and a hidden weapon pierced through the window screen and shot straight in.

Li Qinghan's eyes widened, and she reached out to catch it.

It was round and hard; it wasn't some kind of hidden weapon at all, just a stone.

Then, looking up at the window again, the figure had already disappeared.

gone……

Li Qinghan frowned. Who was it, and what was their purpose?

After a moment's hesitation, he looked at his hand again.

The stone was wrapped in a piece of paper. Upon opening it, Li Qinghan's expression changed drastically.

The sign only reads "Willow Lane," but next to it is a swirling, storm-like lone cloud, which is the symbol of the Fufeng Association.

Li Qinghan gripped the crumpled paper tightly, her knuckles turning white.

Clearly, that person knew she was a member of the Fufeng Society.

After a moment, Li Qinghan took a deep breath, stood up, and took out a cloak and a snake mask from a hidden compartment deep inside the cabinet.

After getting dressed, I quietly left the bedroom.

Lord Hou is usually busy with official duties and needs to rest well, so he generally does not sleep with Li Qinghan at night.

Moreover, in order to keep her secret from being discovered, Li Qinghan never arranged for maids to be in her bedroom.

Easily avoiding the patrolling guards along the way, Li Qinghan jumped out of the Hou Mansion from a courtyard wall on the east side and headed straight for Willow Lane.

Willow Lane is a small alley just a few streets away from the Jing'an Marquis's residence.

Before long, Li Qinghan saw the large willow tree at the entrance of the alley in the distance. He hesitated slightly, took a deep breath, and walked over.

Seeing no one around, Li Qinghan frowned and walked into the alley. He stopped abruptly at the deepest part of the alley and turned around.

Two people, both wearing masks, were already standing there.

"...It's you guys!"

Upon seeing the blank, unadorned mask and the half-human, half-ghost Asura mask, Li Qinghan frowned instantly.

It was the Holy Son No. 81 and his Yan Yi.

Yes, at the age of fifteen, the two men suddenly attacked her, finally cutting off her mask and revealing her true face.

That's probably why they were able to find out her true identity.

"A Marquis's wife, a member of the Fufeng Society—if word gets out, where will Marquis Jing'an's face be?"

Chen Shi spoke, his voice tinged with mockery.

"Madam, do you think the Marquis will divorce you to save face for the Marquis's family?"

"What do you want to do!"

Li Qinghan gave a sharp shout, his gaze particularly gloomy.

Clearly, the other party was threatening her!

In fact, the moment they met, she had already conceived the idea of ​​killing him to silence him.

Her status as a member of the Fufeng Association must absolutely not be revealed!

However, she was no match for the two men opposite her.

At this point, we can only feign compliance and look for an opportunity later.

Since the other party specifically called her out without directly revealing her identity, they must have something to ask for.

As long as there is a request, there is still room for negotiation.

"Hehe, Madam, let's get to know each other formally."

Chen Shi did not answer, but smiled and raised his hand to take off his mask.

"...How come it's you!"

But upon seeing Chen Shi's true face, Li Qinghan's eyes widened instantly, filled with surprise.

She never expected that Fu Feng, the Holy Son of the Eighty-One, was actually a lowly servant in her household!

"Hmph, so it's you, you dog slave."

Then, coming to her senses, Li Qinghan let out a soft snort, her face full of disdain once again.

Chen Shi's eyes turned cold instantly. He took a step forward and, without uttering a single word of explanation, threw a punch at Li Qinghan.

Unexpectedly, Chen Shi suddenly made a move. However, Li Qinghan was a seventh-rank martial artist after all, and his reaction was extremely fast. His arms transformed into two venomous snakes, and he went straight to meet the attack.

boom!

Although his cultivation level was one grade higher, Li Qinghan couldn't withstand Chen Shi's immense strength of several thousand jin at all, and the poisonous snake that his arm had transformed into was directly knocked away.

But she had two arms, and with them two venomous snakes formed from solidified blood energy; the other one immediately pounced on Chen Shi.

But the next moment, the venomous snake suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Chen Shi stood there, holding up a token in his hand—the Fufeng Society's identity token.

"I am the Holy Son of the Fufeng Society!"

"...Greetings, Holy Son."

Li Qinghan hesitated slightly, then released his condensed blood energy and bowed in respect.

Just as Zhe Liu had guessed, she was only a fourth-class member of the Fufeng Society, while Chen Shi, as the Holy Son, was a third-class member.

The Fufeng Society has a strict hierarchy, which must not be overstepped!

"Ha, ha!"

Looking at the meek and obedient Li Qinghan, Chen Shi first chuckled softly, then couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The dignified Marquis's wife, the high-ranking first wife of the Jing'an Marquis's mansion, was now bowing and scraping before him. How wondrous is life!

Cool!

That was fucking awesome!

Looking at the arrogant and domineering Chen Shi, Li Qinghan frowned and clenched his fists, wishing he could kill this lackey immediately.

But she couldn't kill Chen Shi.

It wasn't just because Chen Shi held a higher status than her in the Fufeng Society; the most important factor was his strength.

Although Chen Shi was only an eighth-rank cultivator, and his cultivation level was one rank lower than hers, when it came to fighting to the death, he was in no way inferior to her.

Li Qinghan already knew this back in Duanhun Territory.

Moreover, Yan Yi, who also had a seventh-grade cultivation level, was by her side at this time.

Li Qinghan's submission to Chen Shi at this time was not due to rank, but rather to strength.

Of course, the fact that her identity was exposed also forced her to temporarily lower her stance.

"...What do you want to do?"

Thinking of this, Li Qinghan couldn't help but ask a question.

Chen Shi already knew her identity, but she didn't know that Chen Shi was the Holy Son of the Eighty-One. The fact that Chen Shi invited her here tonight, took the initiative to reveal his identity, and gave up the advantage of the enemy being in the open while he was in the dark must have some reason.

"Naturally, I hope that the First Madam will take good care of me in the future Marquis's mansion."

"This is not difficult."

Li Qinghan gave a light snort, and couldn't help but reveal his arrogant attitude again.

After all, she was in a superior position most of the time.

"If that's the case, why don't I talk to Xiao Fengxiao and ask her to come over directly? That way, it will be much more convenient for me to take care of you."

Immediately afterwards, Li Qinghan spoke again.

Chen Shi looked at her shifty eyes and couldn't help but sneer.

Saying that it would be convenient to take care of him was nothing more than trying to smear him with the reputation of betraying his master. Given Xiao Fengxiao's style, how could he let him off the hook?

At that time, Li Qinghan only needs to give it a little push, and he can get rid of Xiao Fengxiao through his hands.

To put it bluntly, it's nothing more than using someone else to do the dirty work.

It doesn't really involve much technology.

"That won't be necessary. I'm perfectly fine as I am."

"I only suggested it on a whim. Since you're not willing, then forget it."

Li Qinghan said it casually, pretending to be calm.

She was also afraid that Chen Shi would see through her thoughts and anger him, which would be detrimental to her.

"but."

At this moment, Chen Shi spoke again, smiling as he spoke.

There is indeed something I need your help with right now.
