The Deepest Affection in Qin's Time

Jingni's pretty face flushed crimson, her ears burning hot.

"Whatever you say."

She closed her beautiful eyes again, waiting for the scene Li Wu had described to unfold.

She had seen the "horrible sight" of Li Wu bleeding, but she wasn't afraid; on the contrary, she was somewhat looking forward to it.

"Lord Jingni, your subordinate has arrived."

With a wicked grin, Cao Yuan decisively took action.

The bed is bearing pressure that is beyond its capabilities.

Faced with a sparring match between a half-step Grandmaster and a peak Grandmaster, the bed indicated that it really couldn't take it anymore and was about to collapse.

From night to day, day and night, without stopping.

Clothes were scattered all over the floor inside the house.

There were men and women.

Men's clothing is simple, while women's clothing is more complex, consisting of both large and small items.

For example, the torn white bib, or the crumpled skirt and trousers.

And paired with a white dress stained with a lot of bright red blood.

Everything demonstrated the intensity and devastation of last night's battle.

Jingni slept peacefully, her breathing even, like a sleeping beauty.

Cao Yuan dressed, covered Jing Ni with a light blanket, and gently kissed her beautiful, clear face.

Then he quietly rubbed his lower back, yawned, and left.

To defeat a peak Grandmaster from a half-step Grandmaster is something no ordinary person can do.

Especially in the latter half of the night, Jing Ni seemed to awaken, turning from passive to active, almost causing him to lose money.

Fortunately, Jingni was still concerned about his cultivation and did not indulge in excessive sexual activity, so he still had the energy to get up and go out.

Otherwise, he would truly be unable to enjoy the favor of a beautiful woman.

……

Inside the courtyard.

Li Wu played with her bamboo flute and asked Cao Yuan, who had just stepped out of the house, with a smile.

"How is Lady Jingni?"

Cao Yuan chuckled at Li Wu's double entendre.

How about Jing Ni?

That's definitely... incredibly awesome.

The salamander tastes really good.

I just have a bit of lower back pain and weak legs...

"Why don't you go in and take a look?"

Cao Yuan tossed out a sentence and left gracefully, his face beaming with a calm and composed demeanor.

Li Wu watched Cao Yuan's retreating figure and sneered, "What are you pretending for? Look at how weak your legs are!"

Just as Cao Yuan was about to step out of the courtyard gate, he heard Li Wu's sneer and almost stumbled, disappearing in a rather disheveled manner.

He was also helpless.

Facing Jing Ni, a Grandmaster at her peak, especially one who dared to fight desperately, the fact that he has managed to hold on until now is a testament to the immense sweat, blood, and tears he has shed.

Fortunately, he didn't stay overnight at Madam Hu's place last night, otherwise he would have been squeezed to death by Jing Ni.

Thinking of Madam Hu.

Thinking of Madam Hu's elegant, gentle, and delicate appearance, as if she were someone he could easily take advantage of, Cao Yuan quickened his pace.

Today, let's first do a quick search of the former Zheng State Cold Palace to see what's going on.

Then, in the middle of the night, I would go to Mrs. Hu's place to relax and have some fun, and experience the thrill of flirting with a respectable and beautiful woman.

His days are truly packed with activities.

So fulfilling!

Chapter 86 Your sister is mine now.

The Cold Palace of Zheng was originally the old royal palace of the Zheng state.

Since the founding of the Republic of Korea, only ruins of a palace remain here, connected to the royal palace, and it was often used as a cold palace to punish nobles within the palace.

A gust of autumn wind swept up the falling leaves.

Cao Yuan surveyed the somewhat desolate palace before him and stepped inside.

As mentioned in the anime, Wei Zhuang found a scroll here containing the secrets of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon.

For some unknown reason, Wei Zhuang threw him into the lake inside the Cold Palace, where he was eventually taken away by the lurking Mo Ya and given to Ji Wuye.

"Where is it...?"

Cao Yuan murmured to himself, his gaze sweeping over his surroundings.

The Cold Palace was neither too big nor too small; it took him a little over an hour to walk through it.

However, there was nothing here except some discarded old things.

"Could there be some hidden secret here?"

Cao Yuan frowned slightly.

That scroll of azure dragons was neither particularly large nor particularly small.

If it were just placed anywhere, it would probably be hard to find, let alone if someone intentionally hid it.

Cao Yuan realized that this cold palace seemed to belong to Duke Zhuang of Zheng, a minor hegemon during the Spring and Autumn Period.

If he were Duke Zhuang of Zheng, what would he do?

Cao Yuan shook his head.

Who knows what Duke Zheng Zhuang would have been doing hundreds of years ago?

He thought about it.

Instead of wasting time running around every day looking for clues, we might as well wait for Wei Zhuang to bring it up.

With this thought in mind, Cao Yuan left the Cold Palace.

As Cao Yuan was walking down the main street of Xinzheng, a carriage suddenly stopped in front of him.

A young man dressed in a tight-fitting outfit with his sleeves tied up stepped off the carriage.

"Mr. Cao Yuan".

Looking at the young man before him, Cao Yuan suddenly realized who he was.

"you are?"

Cao Yuan asked the question knowing the answer already.

"My name is Han Qiancheng. I have met Mr. Cao Yuan." Han Qiancheng clasped his hands in greeting and said, "His Highness the Fourth Prince would like to invite you to his residence for a chat."

Cao Yuan's face showed a look of certainty.

"What business does Your Highness Han Yu have with me?"

Han Qiancheng replied decisively, "I do not know."

Cao Yuan chuckled lightly: "Since we don't know, let's find out later."

Han Qiancheng was slightly taken aback. He had considered that Cao Yuan might refuse, and he even had a plan and excuse in mind.

But he never expected Cao Yuan to refuse so directly and decisively, without caring at all or being afraid of offending his godfather.

"...Why, sir?"

Cao Yuan said with a half-smile, "His Highness the Crown Prince is still here."

After saying that, Cao Yuan left.

Han Qiancheng was left standing there in a daze.

When Han Qiancheng returned to the young master's residence and reported the matter to Han Yu, Han Yu, with a righteous expression, immediately said, "Ninth Brother is truly blessed to have such a friend."

Han Qiancheng asked with a puzzled look, "Isn't Godfather angry?"

Han Yu smiled faintly and said, "This Mr. Cao Yuan is no simple man. He has only been in Xinzheng for a day or two. I only invited him for a chat, and he already knew what I was thinking. He is amazing, truly amazing."

After learning that his ninth brother, Han Fei, had returned to Xinzheng, he began to investigate his brother's current situation.

After learning about Cao Yuan's situation last night, he realized that this young man was extraordinary and had the idea of ​​making him his retainer to assist him.

Therefore, he immediately sent his adopted son to invite him, wanting to personally test the abilities of his friend, Ninth Brother.

He never cared about his elder brother, even though his elder brother was the crown prince.

But the ninth brother was different. As a genius boy in Korea at the time, he was exceptionally talented and was regarded as the hope of the royal family.

His return now is very likely due to the same thought he has: to vie for the throne!

"Then what is Godfather preparing..."

"The newcomers seem hostile; let's wait and see."

Han Yu then recalled Cao Yuan's intelligence.

Although Cao Yuan was renowned among Confucian scholars and highly regarded among the Seven Kingdoms, it was of little use to him.

It was only because of his ninth brother that he noticed him.

Compared to Cao Yuan, he valued Ji Wuye more, and the Nightfall behind Ji Wuye.

To successfully inherit the throne, he will inevitably have to cooperate with the Nightfall.
