Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

Chapter 586 Jiang Yunying in Danger



Chapter 586 Jiang Yunying in Danger

"My lord, is it not done yet?" Guo Zhixi asked anxiously as she felt Lin Ping's silver needles entering her body.

Although she never thought this day would come, she was still quite excited when it actually arrived.

This was something that had been with her for over ten years, and losing it suddenly made her feel a little sad.

"It'll be ready soon." Lin Ping broke out in a cold sweat, fearing that the disciples of the Enforcement Hall outside might suddenly rush in, which could expose his identity.

A full hour passed before Lin Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally... out."

"Has the lotus poison in my body really been removed?" Looking at the five small balls in Lin Ping's hand, Guo Zhixi felt a mix of emotions.

These five poison pills had troubled her for years; she even thought she would be controlled by the Lotus Palace for the rest of her life.

But Lin Ping took it out so easily!

"Your lotus poison has been removed, and you are no longer under the control of the Lotus Palace," Lin Ping said, dusting his hands, hoping that Guo Zhixi would abandon the darkness and embrace the light.

"No wonder Senior Sister dared to openly refuse Lotus Palace's request; it turns out the lotus poison had already been removed by the Master." Guo Zhixi exclaimed with deep emotion, as if she had uncovered a shocking mystery.

She finally shook her head: "The reason why the Huizhou private army helped Lotus Palace is not because I was controlled by them, but because it was a mutually beneficial cooperation. Once they win against the court, my father will be the king, and I will be the princess of Wu Kingdom."

She made no secrets from Lin Ping.

Everyone has their own ambitions, and Lin Ping doesn't force anyone.

Guo Zhixi couldn't persuade him to leave, and he couldn't completely dissuade Guo Zhixi from her dream of becoming a princess.

The two fell silent, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Guo Zhixi couldn't stay here for too long, so she said softly, "Don't worry, sir, I won't let them do anything reckless."

After saying that, Guo Zhixi left reluctantly.

"She opened her heart to me so completely, yet I secretly plotted against her." Lin Ping shook his head in self-reproach and said, "For the sake of the people of Wu Kingdom, I can only let you suffer a little. Don't worry, I will do my best to keep the title of Lord of Huizhou City."

Watching Guo Zhixi's figure, Lin Ping was filled with emotion, feeling somewhat sorry for her.

If Guo Zhixi hadn't appeared in time today, his handsome face would probably have been ruined.

This is more terrifying than killing him.

At this moment, Fan Xiaojian was complaining to Mei Jiecao with a wronged expression.

"Master, please go to Hanyue Peak immediately to arrest Guo Zhiqian. She is actually helping an undercover agent."

"Outrageous! How dare you repeatedly injure my beloved disciple!" Mei Jiecao smashed the table with a single palm strike, his eyes revealing a chilling murderous intent.

Fan Xiaojian was secretly pleased. Although his wrist was broken, it was still worth it compared to punishing Lin Ping and Guo Zhiqian, the adulterous couple.

“My disciple, just wait a little longer. One day your master will avenge you,” Mei Jiecao comforted him.

“Why not now? Guo Zhixi has already violated the palace rules, and even Chu Rujun has no reason to stop her,” Fan Xiaojian rambled on.

"She is, after all, the daughter of the Lord of Huizhou City. She is of temporary use to Lotus Palace. The Palace Master once said that we should not make things difficult for her in the near future."

Mei Jiecao explained that this was also a way to give Fan Xiaojian an explanation.

"Hmph, you two, you just wait and see," Fan Xiaojian said through gritted teeth.

"It's strange, why would Guo Zhixi help Lin Ping, whose origins are unknown? Could it be that the two of them have some shady deal?" Mei Jiecao was puzzled and finally instructed, "Xiaojian, go and keep an eye on the two of them secretly. Report any developments immediately."

"Yes, ma'am..." Fan Xiaojian replied somewhat reluctantly.

He's injured and can't wield his sword for a while. If the enemy finds out, he'll die a horrible death.

After all, he was a master of the Black Lotus Realm, so he still had some confidence in himself.

"Why hasn't my wife returned yet?" Lin Ping lay on the ground, gazing at the full moon outside the window.

Ten days have passed since he was imprisoned; even the most difficult task should have been completed by now.

These past few days, he's had a lot more peace and quiet. The disciples of the Enforcement Hall only dared to glance at him from afar and didn't dare to get close.

Guo Zhixi would bring Lin Ping some free meals every day, and he ate them with great relish.

The quiet night was a good time to think things through, but Lin Ping was awakened by the noise outside the door.

"What happened? Cold Moon Peak looks chaotic. Could Big Dipper Peak be causing trouble again?" With the help of X-rays, Lin Ping saw the messy situation at Thousand Mountains.

A figure flashed past the door, and the disciples of the Enforcement Hall fell to the ground one after another.

"Sir, come with me quickly!" Without saying a word, Guo Zhixi grabbed Lin Ping's arm and tried to rush out.

"What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?" Lin Ping asked, puzzled.

He had given Guo Zhixi a clear answer that he would not use her help to escape.

Or rather, he was waiting for Jiang Yunying to return.

I'd die happy just to see my wife one last time.

"Senior Sister is in trouble. Lotus Palace is facing a great crisis. Master is discussing the matter with the other peak masters," Guo Zhixi said hurriedly.

Lin Ping, who had been looking relaxed, felt a pang of anxiety upon hearing this and immediately perked up: "What's wrong, my wife? Tell me quickly!"

"The Lotus Palace mission failed, more than a dozen Cold Moon Peak disciples were killed, and even Senior Sister was captured," Guo Zhixi hurriedly explained.

"When did this happen? Where is my wife being held? Take me to rescue her!" Lin Ping was even more anxious.

Lin Ping breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that Jiang Yunying was still alive.

However, through Guo Zhixi's description, Lin Ping understood the severity of the situation.

Otherwise, the major sects wouldn't be in such a panic.

This matter is not only about Cold Moon Peak, but also about the success or failure of the entire Lotus Palace.

"Fengyang Prefecture! Senior Sister was ordered to capture the Fengyang City Lord and force him to join the Lotus Palace, but unexpectedly, a large number of experts appeared in the Fengyang City Lord's mansion, resulting in heavy casualties among my fellow disciples." Guo Zhiqian told Lin Ping all the information she knew.

"What will you do if I leave?" Lin Ping was still somewhat rational and didn't want to drag Guo Zhixi down with him.

“I’ll go with you,” Guo Zhixi nodded in reply.

Without further hesitation, Lin Ping rushed out of the room and headed straight for the path behind the mountain.

The reason he cultivated in Chu Rujun's forbidden area was to find a path leading down the mountain, and he clearly succeeded.

"There's actually a path here?" Guo Zhixi exclaimed in astonishment. Lin Ping always managed to surprise her.

"Although this path is longer, it will always allow us to avoid the sect's interception." Lin Ping pulled Guo Zhiqian along as they jogged.

What else could Guo Zhixi say but give a thumbs up?

"You'll likely face punishment from your sect for rescuing me this time," Lin Ping said remorsefully.

"Do you think Master doesn't know? She just turns a blind eye." Guo Zhixi smiled faintly.

Chu Rujun is the peak master of Hanyue Peak. Not only is he highly skilled in martial arts, but he also controls every move of the entire mountain.

How could she not know what Guo Zhixi had done?

In other words, it wasn't just that she tacitly approved it, but more like that she instructed it.
