Martial Arts Crossover: My Master is Huang Rong

Only Lin Xuan and Dao Baifeng remained in the living room.

After dismissing the servants, Dao Baifeng immediately grabbed Lin Xuan's sleeve and led him to a secluded corner.

Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Lin Xuan, her voice trembling with urgency:

"Young Master Lin, how is it? Look at Yu'er... look at his face and bone structure, is there anything wrong with him? That method... can it be used?"

Chapter 188: The Princess Consort Gifts a House

The afternoon sun shone through the leaves and cast golden dappled patterns on the ground.

Dao Baifeng's beautiful eyes, which were originally filled with anxiety and unease, were now fixed on Lin Xuan, as if he were the only piece of driftwood she had when she was drowning.

"Young master... are you telling the truth?"

Her voice trembled, her hands gripping the whisk tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force, "Yu'er... he really can..."

Lin Xuan remained calm, a confident smile playing on his lips.

He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing intently at the still-charming princess before him, and slowly nodded.

"Your Highness, please rest assured."

Lin Xuan's voice was deep and powerful, exuding an unquestionable sense of authority. "Just now, I carefully observed Young Master Duan's face and bone structure, and secretly probed his aura. Although it is somewhat troublesome, the method of reversing cause and effect and reshaping bloodline can indeed be used."

Upon hearing this, Dao Baifeng felt a sense of relief, as if a large stone that had been weighing on her heart for over a decade had finally been lifted.

But she was still somewhat incredulous and cautiously pressed for more information: "Then... after the spell was cast, Yu'er..."

"After the spell is cast, the bloodline energy within Young Master Duan's body will undergo a tremendous change."

Lin Xuan interrupted her, saying with certainty, "He will completely sever all karmic ties with that person from the past, and his blood, bone marrow, and even his blood will be of the same lineage as Prince Duan. Even if someone suspects it in the future and uses the most rigorous blood test to verify kinship, Young Master Duan's blood will perfectly blend with Duan Zhengchun's blood, without the slightest rejection."

"A blood test for kinship can pass?!"

Dao Baifeng exclaimed in surprise, unable to hide the joy in her eyes any longer, and was so excited that she almost jumped up.

This is exactly what she was most worried about!

In this era, blood kinship testing is the ironclad rule for confirming blood relations.

As long as this hurdle can be overcome, Duan Yu's background will be safe forever, and no one will be able to use this matter against him again!

"That's great...that's really great..."

Overjoyed, Dao Baifeng wept, her eyes red-rimmed, her gaze towards Lin Xuan filled with gratitude and admiration. "Young Master is truly a divine being! If you can save Yu'er from this sea of ​​suffering, this humble Daoist... will be eternally grateful!"

Lin Xuan chuckled inwardly as he looked at her excited expression.

The so-called "blood test for kinship" is not very scientific to begin with. In addition, with his innate true energy and many other means, it would be extremely easy for him to tamper with the blood.

"Your Highness is too kind."

Lin Xuan smiled slightly, timely pouring cold water on her to keep her sober, "However, this method goes against the heavens and consumes a great deal of energy. I need to go back to prepare some things and adjust my own condition. Therefore, I'm afraid I can't use it today."

"This……"

Although Dao Baifeng was somewhat disappointed, she knew that such a major event as defying fate could not be rushed.

She quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked respectfully, "Then how many days will you need to prepare, young master? Is there anything you need me to help you find? Please don't hesitate to ask."

"I'll take care of the preparations myself."

Lin Xuan waved his hand and said mysteriously, "As for the time... it will probably take three to five days. Once I'm ready, I will come to the Prince's residence again. At that time, Your Highness just needs to do as I say."

"Alright! Alright! We'll do as you say, young master!"

Dao Baifeng nodded repeatedly; at this moment, she was completely obedient to Lin Xuan.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Lin Xuan took his leave.

Although Dao Baifeng was reluctant to part with him, she knew that Lin Xuan needed to go back to prepare, so she didn't dare to force him to stay.

She personally escorted Lin Xuan out of the living room, through the long corridor, all the way to the main gate of the Prince's Mansion.

The guards at the gate were all quite surprised to see that the princess was personally escorting a young gentleman out, and with such a respectful attitude.

Standing in front of the palace gate, Lin Xuan stopped and turned to Dao Baifeng, cupping his hands in greeting: "Your Highness, please wait. I will take my leave now."

Looking at Lin Xuan's handsome face, Dao Baifeng suddenly felt a strong sense of reluctance.

She suddenly spoke up, "Young master, please wait."

"Oh? Is there anything else, Your Highness?" Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow.

Dao Baifeng hesitated for a moment, glanced around, and lowered her voice to say, "Young Master is currently staying in an inn, which is convenient, but it's also crowded and noisy. Since you need to prepare for your spellcasting, you need to calm your mind and focus, so an inn might not be a suitable place."

She paused for a moment and then said, “I have several private residences in the city, not far from this Prince’s Mansion, in quiet and elegant surroundings. If you don’t mind, why don’t you move there temporarily? I can then send someone to take care of your daily life.”

Lin Xuan did not refuse; instead, he revealed a meaningful smile.

"The princess is very thoughtful."

Lin Xuan nodded and smiled, "The inn is indeed a bit noisy and not suitable for quiet cultivation. Since the Princess is so kind, then I will gladly accept."

Upon hearing Lin Xuan's agreement, Dao Baifeng's face immediately lit up with a joyful smile.

"It's good that you've agreed, young master! I'll have someone clean and furnish the place right away, so that you can stay comfortably!"

"but……"

Lin Xuan changed the subject and stated his requirements, "The house doesn't need to be too big or too luxurious. The most important thing is tranquility. Also, there shouldn't be any servants or maids inside. I'd rather live alone and not be disturbed."

Dao Baifeng nodded in agreement: "Alright, I'll do as you say, young master. I'll just have someone prepare everything and make sure no unauthorized people are left inside."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Your Highness."

Lin Xuan gave her a deep look, his eyes filled with approval.

Then, without lingering, he turned and strode away, quickly disappearing at the end of the street.

Dao Baifeng stood at the door, gazing longingly in the direction he had left, until he was out of sight, before reluctantly turning back to her residence.

When we returned to the inn, it was nearly dusk.

The afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto the window frames, bathing the room in a warm orange hue.

Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing were sitting at the table.

Zhong Ling held a piece of osmanthus cake in her hand, eating it with relish, a few crumbs still stuck to the corner of her mouth.

Mu Wanqing held a silk handkerchief in her hand, carefully wiping the long sword in her hand, her expression focused and cold.

Seeing Lin Xuan push the door open and come in, Zhong Ling immediately put down the pastries in her hand and rushed over like a happy little bird.

"Brother Xuan! You're back! Was the Prince's mansion fun? Were there any good food or fun activities?"

Lin Xuan smiled and caught her, wiping the crumbs from the corner of her mouth. He said indulgently, "The Prince's mansion isn't as comfortable as we are outside. As for good food, there's plenty. I'll take you to try some next time."

Mu Wanqing remained aloof and taciturn, not speaking to Lin Xuan, but she still casually pushed the teapot towards him.

The three of them sat together, ordered some food from the inn, and had a simple dinner.

After the meal, there was a knock on the door.

Is Young Master Lin here?

A respectful voice came from behind.

Lin Xuan opened the door and saw a well-dressed middle-aged butler standing at the door, followed by two servants.

Upon seeing Lin Xuan, the steward immediately bowed and said, "This humble servant greets Young Master Lin. By order of my mistress, the house has been prepared and I have come to invite Young Master Lin to come and take a look."

Lin Xuan secretly praised Dao Baifeng: Dao Baifeng is really efficient. It's only been a few hours and she's already made the arrangements.

"understood."

Lin Xuan nodded, then turned to the two women in the room and said, "Ling'er, Wanqing, pack your things, we're moving."

"move place?"

Zhong Ling's eyes widened in surprise. "Where are we moving to? Aren't we moving out of here?"

"I'm not staying here anymore."

Lin Xuan laughed, "Someone gave me a house, it's much more comfortable than this inn. Let's go stay there."

"Give away a house?"

Mu Wanqing frowned, keenly sensing something. "Who sent it? Was it that female Taoist priest again?"

Lin Xuan didn't hide anything and said frankly, "That's right. She is the Princess Consort of Zhennan. To thank me for helping her, she specially lent me a private residence to stay in temporarily."

"Hmph, those who offer unsolicited favors are either up to no good or are thieves."

Mu Wanqing gave a cold comment, but her body language betrayed her as she stood up and began packing her bags.

Although she was stubborn, she knew that inns were indeed inconvenient places, especially for someone like her who was introverted and preferred quiet places.

The three quickly packed their bags, paid their room bill, and left the inn with the steward.

After passing through several bustling streets, we turned into a quiet alley.

An exquisite mansion appeared before everyone.

This house is located near the bustling city, yet it is quiet and secluded, as if it were isolated from the world.

The butler opened the door and respectfully welcomed the three inside.

"Young Master Lin, this is the residence prepared for you by the mistress. All the necessary living utensils have been provided, and the bedding has been newly changed. The mistress has instructed that no servants will be kept here to serve you. If you need anything, please feel free to ask me. I will be staying in the separate courtyard at the entrance of the alley."

The butler gave a few instructions, handed the key to Lin Xuan, and then tactfully withdrew with his servant, closing the door behind him.

As the doors closed, the whole world seemed to fall silent.

Lin Xuan looked around and nodded.

Bai Feng really put his heart into this.

Although the house is not very large, its layout is extremely ingenious.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious courtyard with a spotless bluestone pavement.

Several bamboo stalks and a few osmanthus trees are planted in the courtyard. At this time, they are in full bloom, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance of osmanthus.

In one corner of the courtyard, there is a rockery and a small fish pond with clear water where several koi carp swim leisurely.

The main house and side rooms together have a total of seven or eight rooms, all in an antique style.

Wow! This place is so beautiful!

As soon as Zhong Ling entered the courtyard, she was captivated by the surroundings.

She cheered and ran to the fishpond, teasing the koi in the water with an excited smile on her face.

"This place is so much better than the inn! There are flowers and fish! Brother Xuan, I love it here!"

Although Mu Wanqing didn't shout like Zhong Ling, the coldness in her eyes had dissipated considerably.

She looked around and nodded slightly: "It's relatively quiet."

"Alright, since you like it, let's pick a room quickly."

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "I'll take the main room. You can choose the remaining east and west wing rooms yourselves."

"I want to stay in the east wing! It's closer to Brother Xuan!"

Zhong Ling spoke first without hesitation, then picked up her bundle and ran towards the east wing.

Mu Wanqing glanced at Lin Xuan and said calmly, "Then I'll stay in the west wing."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the west wing.

Although the west wing is a little further from the main house, it is only separated by a courtyard.

The two women went back to their rooms to pack.

Lin Xuan walked to the center of the courtyard with a relaxed expression.

There was a wisteria-covered lounge chair there, with a delicate little tea table next to it.

He plopped down on the recliner and stretched comfortably.

A gentle night breeze, carrying the fragrance of osmanthus and the fresh scent of bamboo leaves, caressed my face, making me feel relaxed and happy.

A bright, clear moon hung overhead, casting its cool, silvery light that enveloped the entire courtyard in a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere.

Lin Xuan put his hands behind his head and closed his eyes to rest.
