There are too many female protagonists with deceased husbands in the Qin Dynasty's Past Books.

As the saying goes, the layman watches the spectacle, while the expert sees the details.

Most of the girls from Zilan Pavilion who were gathered in front of the gate were skilled in martial arts, but their level was only mediocre, with the leader being only a second-rate player.

Of course, this is enough for them.

Compared to hidden blades, their appearance and figure are their more effective weapons—more concealed and more deadly.

After all, as the saying goes...

A beautiful woman of sixteen or seventeen, her body as soft as butter, a sword at her waist to slay ordinary men.

With their martial arts skills, Liu Yi, who was originally furious and about to resort to violence, was completely subdued and prostrated himself the next second.

He kowtowed several times to Madam Hu.

Such a gratifying scene is truly delightful, making one want to clap and cheer.

Everyone could guess that Jiang Mo must have done something, but their cultivation level was completely incapable of discerning any clues, and they didn't understand what had happened.

But that didn't stop everyone from crowding together and laughing uproariously.

Only Nongyu, relying on her extraordinary talent in the art of playing the zither, vaguely sensed that Liu Yi's turbulent emotions had abruptly stopped, and vaguely perceived something.

"Sister Zi Nu, what was Brother Jiang doing just now...?"

Unsure of her own judgment, Nongyu leaned close to Zinu's ear and whispered a question, but her eyes couldn't help but glance at the beautiful figure in green in the room.

She didn't know this person.

Because of Liu Yi's bulky body, it was impossible to see the other person's figure and appearance clearly. Only from the whispers of the sisters next to them did they vaguely learn that she was Liu Yi's wife.

But for some reason, Nongyu felt a strange sense of intimacy from the other person.

"Acupressure".

With her light purple eyes fixed on Jiang Mo, Zi Nu couldn't take her eyes off him and pointed out the methods he used.

Seemingly worried that Nongyu might not realize the subtlety of it, she couldn't help but emphasize it again:

"A very skillful acupressure technique!"

Zi Nu's tone was very complex, showing amazement at witnessing such skillful methods, a sense of pride that couldn't be contained, and regret for failing to drag Jiang Mo into the quicksand.

Zi Nu dared not say that she saw clearly what Jiang Mo had just done.

Although Zi Nu couldn't help but hold her breath and grip her sword hilt tightly when she saw Jiang Mo standing in front of Madam Hu, ready to support him at any moment.

Then, they saw Jiang Mo lightly flick his right fingertips, which were hanging by his side.

The originally calm air seemed to ripple slightly with his imperceptible movement, and the scene of the air distorting and changing as if caused by a heat wave lasted only for a moment.

The only thing Zi Nu was certain of was that Jiang Mo hadn't flicked any hidden weapon from his fingertips. But then Liu Yi froze, falling straight to the ground.

Based on his behavior before and after, Zi Nu guessed that Jiang Mo had used acupressure techniques.

As far as Zi Nu knew, the current head of the medical family, Mr. Nian Duan, was extremely disgusted by the meaningless fighting in the martial arts world, and even refused to treat martial arts practitioners.

Acupressure is a medical art that outsiders have no way of learning.

Zi Nu didn't know how Jiang Mo learned such a unique skill, but she was certain that Jiang Mo's acupoint striking technique was absolutely superior to most skilled medical practitioners.

For beginners, the method of acupressure requires touching the acupoints with their fingertips.

Those who are proficient in this method can infuse their internal energy into hidden weapons such as pebbles, indirectly affecting the target's blood circulation.

Those who have mastered the skill can easily perform feats such as inserting needles into acupoints or transferring qi from thin air.

In Zi Nu's view, Jiang Mo's skill level was even higher than that of a master, reaching the pinnacle! He had even completely broken free from dependence on external objects, and could subtly control the target's vital points simply by stirring the air with his internal force.

It's absolutely incredible, beyond belief!

The greatly shocked Zi Nu was unaware that such a technique was actually only the introductory stage of the wind-riding method recorded in "The Heavenly Illusion Phoenix Dance".

With Jiang Mo's current internal strength, he can only gather qi to strike acupoints.

In terms of lethality, it is actually no match for normal hidden weapons. It merely uses the flow of air to channel internal energy into the opponent's vital points, disrupting the target's qi and blood.

If it were someone like Zi Nu, with solid internal strength and profound power, it would be difficult for her to fall for the attack.

However, it's perfect for crushing weaker opponents. Dealing with good-for-nothings like Liu Yi is a piece of cake. He can manipulate them with ease without anyone noticing.

As for the art of controlling the wind, it has reached an even higher level.

In the copy of the book of the past, Qingluan has already demonstrated that the spiral energy it condenses can easily penetrate even mountains!

Dealing with Liu Yi is not difficult.

If Zi Nu wanted to, she could easily draw the Crimson Flame with a flick of her wrist, instantly killing that guy.

But Jiang Mo's methods were far more sophisticated.

Using extremely secretive methods, they easily subdued Liu Yi with little attention, leaving no one able to find out what was going on.

However, Zi Nu couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Falling to the ground could be explained by being too drunk, but Jiang Mo pretending to help Liu Yi up while actually slamming his head down was a bit too arrogant!

It was definitely a lot of fun...

Zi Nu still felt that Jiang Mo might have gone a bit too far. Not to mention Liu Yi, who had already been subdued and unconscious, his guards and attendants were not easily fooled.

Normally, even trusted attendants wouldn't stay by one's side the whole time when coming to Zilan Pavilion.

However, Liu Yi had caused quite a commotion after getting drunk and had tried to forcibly take Madam Hu home, so he sent his guards and attendants over.

This is also why Liu Yi is so fearless.

But to his utter surprise, Jiang Mo dared to make a move under these circumstances, and managed to take him down without him even noticing.

So much so that the guards and attendants didn't even have time to react.

It wasn't until Liu Yi kowtowed several times that he realized something was wrong.

Even if their master is indeed a bit henpecked, it doesn't warrant such a grand gesture in public! Besides, how could someone who was furious just a second ago suddenly repent and kneel down to beg for forgiveness the next?

So, with hostile gazes, the many guards and attendants, despite having no idea what Jiang Mo had done, still surrounded the most suspicious person.

But the one who came to greet them was Madam Hu, whose expression was solemn.

"What are you all standing there for? Can't you see the master is already passed out drunk on the ground? Hurry up and take him back to his residence!"

His speech, delivered with the air of a head of household, caused all the guards and attendants to stop in their tracks.

Liu Yi's entourage and guards knew all too well how he treated Madam Hu. They didn't need to whisper in her ear; as long as they acted as if they were in a bad mood because of them, Liu Yi would kick them out the next day.

Who cares whether they are fulfilling their duties or not?

When Madam Hu stood in front, she was even more influential than a renowned martial arts master, causing her entourage and guards to look at each other in dismay and dare not make a move.

"Oh dear, it is indeed a great trouble for you all."

With a beaming smile, Jiang Mo arrived early and warmly greeted the hesitant attendants and guards.

With a flick of the sleeve, the gifts were quietly delivered to everyone.

These attendants and guards surrounding Liu Yi were all seasoned veterans. They didn't even need to look; they could tell what was being stuffed into their hands just by pinching it with their hands.

What else is there to say?

Just cooperate with the other party and that's it!

Lord Liu was merely a little drunk and behaved inappropriately; everyone saw it, there was absolutely no trouble!

In a moment of eye contact, the group quickly reached a consensus.

It's not that no one is stubborn, but although Jiang Mo had a smiling face, the aura emanating from him was becoming increasingly profound and cold, making people feel that if they didn't know when to stop, the gold in their hands might become money to buy their lives.

Following Liu Yi, how much silver do you earn in a month?

Why risk your life?

After a combination of carrot and stick tactics, Liu Yi's attendants and guards were completely subdued, and they lifted Liu Yi up to retreat from Zilan Pavilion.

Seeing this, Zi Nu, who was hiding in the shadows, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon raising her eyes and catching a glimpse of Jiang Mo's gaze, Zi Nu immediately became serious, her lips parting to utter silent words:

The rest time is enough, hurry back and continue practicing your sword.

I must swing my sword at least a hundred times tonight.

Jiang Mo, who had originally wanted to be praised, did not expect to receive such a response, and the smug look on his face immediately fell slightly.

Busy cleaning up the mess, Jiang Mo didn't notice that after his gaze shifted away, Zi Nu's lips couldn't help but curl into a pleasing smile, and a thought involuntarily flashed through his mind:

It feels really good to have someone you can rely on!

Seeing that Jiang Mo had handled things perfectly, Zi Nu had no intention of staying any longer. She gently pulled Nong Yu's arm and prepared to go back to the backyard to wait for Jiang Mo to continue practicing his sword.

Surprisingly, it couldn't be pulled.

Standing stiffly in place, Nongyu was completely petrified, not even her delicate, long eyelids and eyelashes trembled slightly.

She stared intently at Madam Hu with her beautiful eyes wide open.

Following the other person's gaze, Zi Nu looked over with considerable confusion and saw that the lady had a very familiar Fire Rain Agate hanging from her waist.

Its perfectly round shape, its vibrant and beautiful colors.

Could it be that Nongyu accidentally lost it again?

The thought flashed through Zi Nu's mind in an instant. Her gaze instinctively shifted slightly downwards, only to spot an almost identical Fire Rain Agate beside Nong Yu.

Is it...

Instantly guessing what was going on, Zi Nu couldn't help but widen her eyes. Before she could say anything, Nong Yu, seeing Madam Hu preparing to leave, couldn't contain herself and wanted to rush out immediately.

But she failed.

Jiang Mo had been keeping an eye on the area since he discovered that Nongyu was nearby. When he saw the girl about to rush out, he immediately pointed at her.

Caught off guard, Nongyu's vital points were struck, and her delicate body instantly froze on the spot.

Silly girl, there are too many people around; this is not the time to waste on recognizing each other.

Come find me again at midnight.

Intentionally shielding Madam Hu's wandering gaze, Jiang Mo silently moved his lips, mimicking Zi Nu's actions as he left a message for Nong Yu.
