The silver-haired girl pondered, discerning. Her left hand made a fist, lightly tapping her right palm, expressionless. She recalled the owner of that arrogant voice, the Third Young Master of the Duke Mansion. Hearing such commotion, it was clear this person had issues. Shaking Light thought for a moment, pulled out an ordinary-looking jade stone, and following Mr. Siming’s method, left mystical skills on the jade. Then she quietly took the opportunity of someone delivering food to sneak in. Using mystical skills, it would record everything being said inside. The Third Young Master Li Yuanchang sat there, holding a cute and charming girl in his arms. Though not of celestial beauty, she was extremely graceful. Li Yuanchang lost the usual uselessness he showed before his father and brothers, with a hint of gloom in his eyes. A woman laughed coquettishly: "Young Master, what you say doesn’t align with the filial piety of the Central Plains. Where in the world would one hope for their father to be trapped to death in a city?" Li Yuanchang only said: "This is merely how my father treats me." He laughed self-deprecatingly, fiddling with a wine cup, calmly saying: "Elder Brother is groomed as the heir, known to all under Heaven. The Young Master of the Duke Mansion in Xiyi City is of excellent character, literary talent, and martial prowess; while ’Second Brother’, her demeanor is extraordinary, vision uncommonly superb, even surpassing Elder Brother." "I am merely the stepping stone used by Father to balance the relationship between the two of them, and after Elder Brother ascends, a pawn and a sword used against ’Second Brother’ to maintain the equilibrium of Xiyi City." "A son of a duke is trained as a duke, a hero like a Divine General ought to have the temperament of a Divine General, but I alone, not the eldest, not brave or fierce enough, am only supplied with some gold and silver utensils, allowed to grow freely." "Since Father doesn’t train me according to their standards, doesn’t see me as the real son, he cannot blame me." Another gentle woman with a compassionate look said: "Third Young Master, you have indeed suffered some hardships." Li Yuanchang laughed self-deprecatingly, saying: "People in the world call me reckless, but if I were not reckless, I might have long been a pawn, drawn into the balance within Xiyi City, forced to act foolish in front of Elder Brother and ’Second Brother’. "Only this way can I live a long life of fortune and longevity." His voice paused for a moment as he embraced the woman’s waist, calmly saying: "This time I provided intelligence for your Sect Hierarch, ’Second Brother’ will personally attend. If ’Second Brother’ fails, then Father will die, ’Second Brother’ will be guilty, and the court’s blame shall naturally fall to Elder Brother." "If successful, the position of Duke might be stripped to Marquis, but this Marquis should be inherited by me!" "Even if Your Majesty is unwilling to honor the promise our family has held for generations to safeguard the Western Regions." Thɪs chapter is updated by N()velFire.net "To see that composed Elder Brother and spirited ’Second Brother’ both fall to the dirt like me would be a lifetime’s satisfaction, a great joy indeed!" "It’s just a pity, can’t even ten thousand troops hold him back?" At this time, the intelligence had not yet been relayed, he was unaware of the eight hundred Xuanjia’s charge, unaware of Li Guanyi’s solo feat of General Slayer, merely posing as a carefree playboy, seated in this opulent city of Heroic Pass in Xiyi City, with an air of surveying the world. He seemed drunk, lowering his head, taking a deep breath at the neck of that gentle beauty. The beauty groaned softly, blushing, pushing him away yet seemingly shy, biting the golden goblet to pass wine to him. The scene was most romantic. Yet between them, there seemed to be multiple layers of distrust. Growing up in such tumultuous times, occupying such positions, which of them was easy to deal with? The silver-haired girl wielded mystical skills, recording the entire scene. Her face devoid of expression. Every detail was recorded. Li Yuanchang frowned again, saying: "However, your Sect Hierarch told me to pay attention to a silver-haired girl beside Tian Ge’er, but I have had no chance to act. What are you seeking her for?" The songstress laughed playfully: "That would be the Hierarch’s private affair." Li Yuanchang sighed: "What a pity, I had been planning to find a way to bring her to you, but ’Second Brother’’s guest arranged for valiant people to protect her, and she stays in the courtyard recently, so I truly cannot catch her." The songstress said: "What a pity, indeed." "However, even if ten thousand troops have retreated, our Sect Hierarch has already prepared methods, capable of devouring Qi Fortune, many wonderful things that one not of certain standing like myself wouldn’t know." The woman lowered her head, knowing Xiao Yuxue surely had more vicious moves against those guarding at Yemen Pass. The White Emperor, though bearing One Sword, still had an immensely abundant Qi Fortune. Borrowing this Qi Fortune to strike from afar, there were no more than five people in the world who could withstand! Sect Hierarch Xiao Yuxue’s methods involved stepping into the worldly disputes as a Martial World woman. The advantage of victory was on my side. But such words were certainly not to be told to Li Yuanchang, so the woman only smiled sweetly, saying: "If Young Master is willing to join our Holy Sect, all the numerous wonders can be fully known, can’t they?" Li Yuanchang merely smiled without answering, his eyes carrying some cold disdain. Treating these songstresses and the Holy Sect as mere blades. Yet there lay mocking and scorn in the eyes of the beautiful gentle songstress towards the aristocratic scion. Li Yuanchang suddenly exerted force with his arm, pulling the beautiful woman into his embrace, cheeks touching, necks leaning, silk and brocade swirling, resembling two entwined venomous snakes in the chaotic world; amidst men who are cold and women who are vicious, it was an exceptional scene indeed.
