    Chapter Index

    Frankly speaking, Xu Qi’an was a little bit mentally prepared for the scene at this moment, and wasn’t completely at a loss for words.

    First of all, the candid scene will come sooner or later.

    The system of the Dae Bong was monogamy and multiple concubines, and as a man who readily accepts good advice, Xu Qi’an felt that he had to follow the customs of the country.

    But he knows that the system is the system and people are people.

    If the system could solve everything, where would there be open warfare in the mansion?

    Besides, none of the fish in the pond are good.

    Secondly, with Luo Yu Heng’s “love” personality and temperament, it’s likely that Shura will happen earlier.

    In Yongzhou, when the State Master had asked him to draw a line between him and the other women, Xu Qi’an had prepared himself mentally, having done a certain amount of analysis of his own strengths and weaknesses.

    Xu Qi’an has the advantage:

    For one, every fish isn’t close enough to him to talk about marriage, which would lessen the intensity of the Shura and everyone tearing up in name only.

    Two, he has a great persona.

    It was well known that Xu Yinluo was a frequent visitor to the Church and Workshop Department, and of the twenty-four flower girls in the Department, more than half of them had rolled in bed with him.

    It gives the impression that he hasn’t always been like this.

    Thus, on the level of being flirtatious and horny, people are forgiving of him.

    Xu Qi’an’s disadvantage is that, precisely because the relationship between the fish and him is not at the level of marriage, they are likely to jump out of the fish pond.

    However, after knowing his persona, it’s not very likely that he can still develop a crush on him and jump out of the fish pond.

    So what to do now was to divert Luo Yu Heng’s firepower.

    Because she, and she alone, would declare herself her man, and the other demonic jerks get the hell out of the way.

    Other fish don’t do aggressive things like that because the relationship isn’t there.

    In Xu Qi’an’s judgment, there was no once-and-for-all solution, and time was the best regulator of conflicts.

    What he has to do is to calm things down with excellent maneuvering in a similar conflict and clash over and over again.

    As of now, the best thing Xu Yinluo could think of was – summoning Xu Lingyue!

    She was well suited to the role of peacemaker.

    My sister won’t be able to pull the hate, and being in the center of the storm, I’ll say anything that’s wrong.

    In an atmosphere of killing and darkness, the door to the room buckled.

    Hoo …….. Xu Qi’an let out a synchronized sigh of relief as he decisively walked to the door and opened the door to the room.

    In the doorway stood his clear and lovely sister, and Chu Yuan-chien, who had not returned, had the good sense to disengage himself from the storm.

    “Reiyuki, what are you doing here.”

    Xu Qi’an flashed an older brotherly smile.

    Xu Ling Yue gave him a complicated look, her eyes sweeping inward.

    The first thing she saw was Luo Yu Heng’s back, dressed in a feathered garment, a ribbon binding out her slender waist.

    The State Master did not turn around, coldly scrutinizing the women at the table, as if she would immediately strike to suppress anyone who dared to disobey.

    Xu Lingyue’s gaze swept past the State Master and looked at the other women, the cold as frost Highness Huaiqing holding her tealight, her gaze slightly downcast, not saying a word; the righteous Fei Yan female warrior with her gaze sideways, looking to the side and grinding her teeth from time to time; the flamboyantly dressed Her Highness Lin’an with her red eyes glaring undauntedly at the State Master.

    The lively and cheerful Chu Caiwei rarely frowned and kept silent.

    “I heard that big brother came back, mother waited left and right, didn’t wait for you to come home, couldn’t rest assured, so she asked me to come over to take a look.” Xu Ling Yue softly said.

    Auntie, I’ll ask you to be a tool person for a while ………. Xu Qi’an drifted off, cleared her throat, and said:

    “Well, I’ve been away from the capital for many days, so I really should go back and take a look.

    “Well, uh …….. Gentlemen, I’ll take my leave.”

    “No going!”

    “You can’t go.”

    “Try walking one.”

    “………”

    The women in the room made their attitudes known.

    As expected, the State Master forced me to draw a line between them, and they also wanted me to take a stand. At a time like this, it was obvious that it would be best for me to remain silent and break them down one by one in private.

    ……… Xu Qi an glanced at Xu Ling Yue, who did not take care of him and kept silent.

    Luo Yu Heng’s gaze went cold, and the corner of his mouth picked up a dangerous arc as he said:

    “Xu Lang, I’m going to get angry if you keep pushing me around.”

    Lin An and the others’ gazes instantly sharpened, staring straight at Xu Qi’an.

    Alas, State Master ah State Master, the main reason why I am avoiding this matter is because I don’t want you to die completely socially! Xu Qi’an sighed in his heart and was just about to say something when Xu Ling Yue spoke first:

    “Hsu Lang?”

    She acted extremely shocked, “Guo, Guo Shi, you and my big brother ………”

    Luo Yu Heng finally turned his head back and looked squarely at this Human Sect’s named disciple and said indifferently:

    “Xu Qi’an is my dual cultivator.”

    During the time Xu Qi’an had left the capital, Xu Lingyue was already a registered disciple of the Human Sect, this was to avoid her aunt’s urging for marriage.

    While the other women were looking at him, Xu Qi’an was also looking at Xu Ling Yue.

    The situation at hand was that Luo Yu Heng was aggressive and the other fishes were defiant and joined forces to fight against it.

    While not admitting to having a relationship with him, he waited for him to take a stand.

    “What Ling Yue has to do is to dispel the State Master’s aggressive attitude and bring this matter through without huffing and puffing, as long as the State Master voluntarily gives up, I’m sure I can privately coax them into a good relationship ……….”

    Xu Qi’an analyzed in his heart, looking at Xu Ling Yue with anticipation in his gaze.

    Who knew that Xu Ling Yue pursed her lips and didn’t say a word.

    When she didn’t say anything, the framing couldn’t hold back and sneered:

    “The head of the Dao, as a Grand Bong Master of State, a figure of the same generation as my father’s father, is actually double-cultivating with Xu Ningyan, a latecomer, and isn’t he afraid of being laughed at when he spreads the word.”

    This was a disguised mockery of Luo Yu Heng’s old ox eating young grass, and at his age, he was even looking at a junior.

    Lin An, this rhythm of your answer is going to get you killed ah …….. The corners of Xu Qi’an’s mouth twitched violently, sure enough, she was still the best at provoking.

    Zhong Li whispered, “She’s just using Xu Qi’an, she’s shameless.”

    Li Miaozhen: “This matter has nothing to do with me, except that I really don’t like the State Master’s aggressive attitude.”

    Huaiqing faintly said, “This Palace and Lord Xu is also innocent relationship, but is somewhat curious why the State Master must force him to clear the relationship with us.”

    Chu Caiwei also felt wronged and said:

    “Xu Ningyan and I are just friends, why are you forcing him to cut himself off from me, really, the State Master is too overbearing.”

    The corner of Huaiqing’s mouth quirked, “I guess it’s because I’m not confident, Lin An may be stupid, but there’s still some truth in what he said.”

    Xu Qi’an’s mind was filled with “crap” while guarding against Luo Yuheng’s flip-flopping.

    Confidantes quarrel tearing, as a man is not good to obviously favor which side, but to care on the side, can not let them fight.

    Luo Yu Heng laughed back in anger, “A bunch of sharp-tongued little bitches, since you guys don’t know how to appreciate yourselves, then don’t blame this seat for being impolite.”

    Li Miaozhen and the others’ faces changed, and they were instantly half abashed.

    Advent braced himself and said, “You, what do you want.”

    The sickly petite state master ignored her, looked sideways at Xu Qi’an, and softly said:

    “Xu Lang, since you’re not willing to give up these sluts, I can only make the decision for you.

    “Zhong Li is a prophet, then the town will be at the bottom of the Star Picking Building for twenty years, and I will personally discuss this matter with the Supervisor.

    “As for Lin’an, he has also reached the age when he should get married, the young emperor has just come to power not long ago, and his foundation is not stable, so I will directly approach him to explain that Xu Lang is my dao mate, and see if he is willing to offend me.”

    Luo Yu Heng scrutinized Huai Qing, “After Wei Yuan’s death, you still have backers in the dynasty?”

    She turned to Li Miaozhen, “Bingyi Yuanjun is looking for you, I’ll kidnap you today to give a gift to the Heavenly Sect.”

    Jong Li shrank back.

    Advent gritted his teeth.

    Huaiqing’s face was grim.

    Li Miaozhen’s breath shook cold.

    Then, they looked at Xu Qi’an together.

    …….. Xu Qi’an immediately took an attitude, “State Master, don’t say anything to scare people.”

    Luo Yu Heng then felt aggrieved that when the little bitches had taunted her just now, Xu Qi An had stood by with cold eyes.

    At that moment, Xu Lingyue said in a thin voice:

    “Why should the Master of the State be so angry?

    “Though my elder brother often goes to the Church Office and sleeps in flowers and willows night after night, I know that he is a decent man and will definitely not fail the State Master.”

    Thank you old sister ……… Xu Qi an had a complicated mood, feeling that she was sheepishly sarcastic, but she was unable to refute it.

    Xu Lingyue continued:

    “I can assure the State Master that Big Brother and the two princesses are innocent. During Daoist Li’s stay in the Xu Mansion on loan, he and Big Brother stopped being polite and treated each other as close friends, and there was absolutely no affection between a man and a woman.”

    Luo Yu Heng frowned, “Are you insinuating that I’m jealous?”

    Xu Lingyue busily said, ”Disciple wouldn’t dare, disciple didn’t mean it like that. It’s just that as a younger sister, I should defend my elder brother’s innocence. It is also hoped that there will be no misunderstandings between elder brother and the State Master that will hurt their feelings.”

    Her words were beautiful, speaking for Huaiqing and the others while tacitly acknowledging Luo Yuheng’s relationship with Xu Qi’an.

    No one is offended by being a peacemaker.

    As expected, Li Miaozhen and the others stopped talking when they had this step.

    The one who knows what’s right is the one who doesn’t see eye to eye with Luo Yu Heng.

    But the sickly Luo Yu Heng didn’t eat this and said unhappily:

    “You don’t get to talk here.”

    Xu Lingyue’s face turned white, and with tears flashing in her eyes, she actually huffed and cried.

    This is crying?

    Advent didn’t even feel that delicate.

    Xu Qi’an exhaled a breath, straightened his back, and spoke in a deep voice:

    “Master of the State, how can you talk about my sister like that.”

    Privately, he transmitted, “That’s enough, I’m innocent with them, don’t make any more trouble.”

    Luo Yu Heng snorted.

    Xu Lingyue shook her head and sobbed:

    “Big brother, I was the one who spoke too much.

    “Although you were raised by your parents, they are not your birth mother after all, who you wish to couple with is your own business. Father and mother do not have the qualifications to intervene, so I should not be able to tell you what to do.”

    Luo Yu Heng raised his eyebrows.

    This Xu Ling Yue moving out Xu Qi An’s uncle and aunt appeared to be a concession, but it was actually a very clever way of retreating in order to advance.

    Although they are not real parents, the grace of birth is not as great as the grace of adoption.

    She’s using it to counter her own “you don’t get to talk here.”

    She and Xu Qi’an had a dao couple, so she could force him to draw a line with other women, but she couldn’t force Xu Qi’an to disown her sister.

    Luo Yu Heng faintly said:

    “That’s just it… Xu Lang, you will make an oath here.

    “Would never have anything to do with these little bitches, not before, not ever.

    “Take the oath and the matter will be closed.”

    Several of Lin An’s flowery faces changed slightly, and their faces turned white with anger.

    The scene’s firepower was focused on Xu Qi’an again.

    Luo Yu Heng is not good at fooling around and has a clear goal.

    Despite Xu Lingyue’s incessant attempts to make peace, bring up the tempo, and shift the goalposts, none of them were able to sway her.

    How would Ling Yue respond? Xu Qi’an thought in his heart, then he heard Xu Ling Yue sob:

    “Master of the State, this is not a good thing.

    “My elder brother is innocent with the two princesses, Taoist Li, and the two sisters of the Sithian Supervisor.

    “You have to force my big brother to swear, is not to say that they are all with my big brother is not clear, this world women’s reputation is the most important, especially the two princesses ……..

    “You are not humiliating them.”

    Luo Yu Heng sneered:

    “You’re teaching me things?”

    Xu Ling Yue lowered her head and said timidly:

    “The disciple wouldn’t dare.

    “But disciples are not only registered disciples of the Human Sect, they are likewise elder brother’s sisters and friends of fellow Daoist Li, so naturally I can’t see the State Master bullying them and humiliating them like this.

    “Even if you are the State Master, you shouldn’t be this unreasonable.”

    Luo Yu Heng narrowed his eyes and scrutinized Xu Ling Yue, her expression indicating that she was moved to anger.

    Xu Lingyue’s face turned white and she grew more and more timid, wincing:

    “If the State Master doesn’t like to hear it, then it’s fine for the disciple to go.

    “It’s just that big brother has been away from the capital for many days, and father and mother miss him in their hearts. The State Master can’t stop Big Brother from seeing it.”

    Luo Yu Heng’s face was expressionless: “No one is allowed to leave!”

    She knew she was in a state where she couldn’t afford to run out of time, and if she didn’t finalize things today, she wouldn’t get the chance in the future.

    Xu Ling Yue sniffed and looked sideways at Xu Qi’an:

    “Big brother, since the State Master is so insistent, you will take an oath in accordance with his wishes.”

    When she finished, she looked at a few more women and apologized:

    “Your Highnesses, Daoist Li, Senior Sister Zhong Li, Senior Sister Caiwei, it was not my elder brother’s intention to cause you to suffer damage to your reputation and honor, and it was also a last resort.

    “Please don’t take it to heart, a few people.”

    Li Miaozhen and the others didn’t say anything, unable to tell if they were acquiescing or what they meant.

    Xu Qi’an almost saw Xu Ling Yue’s maneuver and coughed:

    “Since the State Master must have an oath, I ………”

    Luo Yu Heng jerked her head around, glared at him angrily, and said through clenched teeth, “You know that’s not what I want!”

    She suddenly pinched her brow and sighed, “That’s just it.”

    Slanting a glance at Xu Lingyue, the State Master transformed into golden light and vanished.

    Xu Qi’an instantly looked at the fishes, framed gamely sidestepped his face; Huaiqing was expressionless; Zhong Li hung his head and ignored him, and Chu Caiwei skimmed his lips.

    Li Miaozhen looked at him angrily, “What are you looking at, why don’t you get lost!”

    If you are wrong, you have to admit it, and if you are beaten, you have to stand up …….. Xu Qi’an muttered silently and left with Xu Ling Yue.

    The moment she stepped out of the threshold, Xu Ling Yue’s clear face gradually lost its expression, revealing a rare coldness.

    The softness, chutzpah, and fear from a moment ago were all gone.

    “Ling Yue, thank you, I’ll send you back.”

    Xu Qi’an said.

    Xu Lingyue closed her eyes, slowly exhaled a breath, and resumed her soft and lovely posture as she said in a thin voice:

    “Didn’t give big brother a hard time, did you.”

    “No, you’re doing fine.”

    Xu Qi’an led her to the window outside the veranda, hugged Xu Ling Yue’s waist, leapt out, and flew to the Xu Mansion on the royal wind.

    With the qi wrapped around her, Xu Lingyue didn’t feel cold, snuggling into her big brother’s warm chest and whispering:

    “Big brother is really making things difficult for me, people were crying in fear just now.

    “It’s also fortunate that the Master of the State was kind enough to let you go in the end.”

    Yes yes yes, big brother knows you are completely incapable of these messy hookups. In the end it was the state master who figured it out and gave it up of his own accord, rather than being forced by you to swear that it was only a formality ……..

    Xu Qi’an spat in his heart as he flew on the wind.

    That said, he didn’t understand Xu Lingyue’s operation until the very end.

    After her first failed attempt to “get out”, she remained silent, actually observing the crowd.

    By the time Luo Yu Heng and the crowd of fishes had finished exchanging blows, she could see again that the fishes were showing signs of cowardice and were being taken to the core, so she took the initiative and said a bunch of beautiful words in a guaranteed manner, giving Li Miaozhen and the others a step up.

    By this point, the fish had stabilized for the time being.

    Only Luo Yuheng was left next.

    In her subsequent encounters, she realizes that Luo Yu Heng is soft and insists on swearing on her own.

    So there is a strategy, deliberately provoking Luo Yuheng, stealing the concept of “swearing” into a form of forced helplessness.

    You know, at this point, the fish have already stepped down, choose to compromise. Therefore, they will not be heartbroken because of this form than the actual “vows”.

    It’s inevitable to be upset, but not so much that it’s unacceptable.

    It was because Luo Yu Heng could see this that he didn’t bother asking him for another oath.

    Xu Qi’an summoned his eldest sister over for two reasons, one being that he needed someone who made peace and whose identity was secure enough to break the ice for him. The second was that Xu Lingyue’s abilities were trustworthy.

    “Big brother, the State Master must hate me to death, right?”

    Xu Ling Yue said worriedly:

    “Is she going to be mad at me for this?

    “What should I do if she gives me a hard time when you’re not in the capital?

    “The State Master is so scary, and today he forced you to swear and made things difficult for you.

    “Unlike me, all I do is feel sorry for my big brother.”

    What bad thoughts can a sister have? They’re all good sisters who care about their brother.

    As for the State Master, whether she will give you a hard time, I don’t know. But she will definitely hunt me down and kill me because of her bursting shame ……….. Xu Qi’an was saddened.

    This level of social death in the State Master, late stage, hopeless.

    ………….

    The night was getting deeper and deeper, Luo Yu Heng stood in the small secluded courtyard, looking out into the heavy night.

    “Alas ……..”

    She sighed in frustration and hatred:

    “Next month, next month must force you to make a choice, sell the woman who is ambiguous with you and Mu Nanjian together to the Department of Cultivation.”

    She fumed silently, and suddenly muttered with the corner of her mouth quirking:

    “At least the purpose has been achieved, and as far as my pretentious nature is concerned, I will more than likely remain reserved until the seven-day period is over, if I am not pushed to the breaking point.”

    At that moment, her ears twitched and she looked sideways into the darkness, coldly:

    “What are you doing here with me if you’re not at the Szeth to keep your little lovers company.”

    “For falling in love with the bed of the Master of the State.”

    Xu Qi’an burrowed out of the shadows and skinned up in an attempt to liven up the atmosphere, but all he got was a cold glare from the State Master.

    Luo Yu Heng’s face was icy cold: “No double cultivation tonight, please return, Lord Xu.”

    With that, he turned around and went back to the quiet room.

    Xu Qi’an let out a bitter smile, crossed the courtyard, arrived at the door, pushed the door, and his palm was bounced back by a force.

    “I’m really leaving then.”

    He shouted toward the room and turned away.

    After an incense stick, he went and returned, pushed the door, and still couldn’t get in.

    “Really no more duals?”

    Xu Qi’an scratched his head, his gaze swept around and landed on the window, his heart fluttering.

    A moment later, the window “squeaked”, opened and closed, Xu Baijuan disappeared outside the house.
