Chapter 423 The Holy Son's Nighttime Rendezvous with His Aunt, Public Execution and Social Death!
Xiao Yuenu said calmly, "Do you still remember what Master told us back then?"
"The position of sect leader is related to the sect's inheritance and prosperity; you will all rely on your own abilities."
Liu Hongmian took a deep breath, dispelling the blankness on her face, and retorted sharply:
"Is this why you resort to underhanded tactics?"
Xiao Yuenu's gaze was calm as she slowly said, "Everything I have done is within the bounds of the rules."
"The position of the sect leader is related to the prosperity and inheritance of the sect. This is Master reminding us that those who are not skilled enough are not qualified to become the sect leader."
"You all rely on your own abilities, which means there are no rules, no bottom line, as long as you can win."
Liu Hongmian was furious and screamed, "This is impossible! Master often taught us that Wan Hua Lou is a sect composed of women."
To avoid being bullied, one must be ruthless and decisive on the outside, and united and loving on the inside.
Xiao Yuenu remained calm and looked at her: "Do you think your master doesn't know about my clumsy framing?"
She gave you a chance, but what did you do?
The methods used—crying, making a scene, threatening suicide—were weak and ineffective.
You are perfectly capable of retaliating; you can use even dirtier methods to fight back against me.
All you did was make a scene.
Your master is extremely disappointed in you and believes you are not suitable to lead the Wan Hua Lou.
Liu Hongmian stood there dumbfounded, stunned by the knife.
Clearly, she actually agreed with Xiao Yuenu's words.
To be precise, she was persuaded.
Xiao Yuenu stopped looking at her, turned to Li Chang'an, and said softly:
"I will imprison her in the Martial Arts Alliance, so the Heavenly King need not worry about future troubles."
"Fine, take her away." Li Chang'an nodded.
That evening, the Martial Arts Alliance hosted a banquet.
There are two themes: celebrating the ancestor's emergence from seclusion and thanking Li Tianwang for his righteous assistance.
At this moment, Xu Qi'an, Chu Yuanzhen, Tianzong Wolong Chufeng, and Miao Youfang sat in a row inside the hall.
Cao Qingyang and other high-ranking members of the Martial Arts Alliance, along with the leaders and heads of nine affiliated gangs, sat in a row.
In the central positions are Li Chang'an and Kou Yangzhou.
Li Chang'an's status is too high; even according to the rules of the martial arts world, he cannot be treated with the slightest disrespect.
Because the main peak collapsed and everything needed to be rebuilt, the banquet was not a grand affair, and no singers or dancers were invited to entertain. The food and drinks were quite simple.
However, this did not mean the dinner was dull or boring; on the contrary, the atmosphere was extremely lively.
The martial arts alliance has no shortage of people from all walks of life; those who roam the martial arts world all possess unique talents.
The program included storytelling, singing, and dancing—or rather, storytelling and opera—as well as performances by the women of Wanhualou. The program was continuous.
Even Xiao Yuenu, the leader of a sect, personally played the zither and sang a song, her voice as beautiful as heavenly music.
Cheers and applause resounded from all sides.
After a satisfying meal, Li Chang'an and the others took their leave.
Xiao Yuenu followed Li Chang'an without saying a word.
On the way back to her temporary residence, Li Lingsu started a conversation, saying:
"I have something to take care of. Please go ahead."
Li Miaozhen frowned and asked, "Where are you going?"
As a junior sister, it is only natural and reasonable for her to interfere in and care about her senior brother's private affairs.
"We'll talk about it later."
Li Lingsu casually gave a perfunctory reply, then a flying sword shot out from his sleeve. He gracefully stood on the spine of the sword and whistled away.
Watching Li Lingsu's disappearing figure, Li Miaozhen snorted:
"He was acting suspiciously and was quite strange. He was unusually quiet at the banquet and didn't flirt with any of the girls at Wan Hua Lou."
Xu Qi'an stroked his chin and said, "Speaking of which, we still don't know who Li Lingsu's old flame in the Martial Arts Alliance is..."
Xiao Yuenu could only turn a blind eye to Xu Qi'an's words.
Xu Qi'an said, "I remember Li Lingsu said that Quanrong Mountain is not far from Tianzong Holy Mountain, and the first place you will visit after you go down the mountain is Jianzhou."
Li Chang'an nodded affirmatively, "Yes, that's when I met Miaozhen and Lingsu... and Yuenu."
Xiao Yuenu lowered her head and chuckled softly, "Master Li had quite a few old flames in the brothel before. I kicked those four girls out of Wan Hua Lou."
"Four of them!" Xu Qi'an, Chu Yuanzhen, and Miao Youfang exclaimed in shock.
Li Chang'an smiled. Back when he led Xiao Yuenü to catch the adulterer in the act, he had personally witnessed the Holy Son being driven to madness by four young girls.
Later, Li Chang'an went to the capital, Li Miaozhen went to Yunzhou, and Li Lingsu remained in Jianzhou. Could it be that she has a new lover?
Xu Qi'an chuckled, "After all, the Wan Hua Lou is full of beauties. Perhaps the Holy Son has other lovers!"
Chu Yuanzhen asked, "Perhaps, it really isn't."
Xu Qi'an chuckled. "Miao Youfang, do you remember before we came to Jianzhou, when you pressed him about whether he had a lover at Wanhua Tower, how did Li Lingsu respond?"
Miao Youfang mimicked Xu Qi'an stroking his chin and said, "He was stammering at the time, as if he had something difficult to say."
Hearing this, Chu Yuanzhen also became interested and analyzed, "Given the style of Fellow Daoist Li's other two confidantes, they would probably have jumped out long ago when they saw their lover appear in the Martial Alliance. They couldn't have endured it until now."
Miao Youfang suddenly realized, "Unless she has some reservations?"
At this moment, Li Miaozhen said to Li Chang'an, "Husband, the women of Wanhualou are all ruthless characters. I'm afraid something might happen to my senior brother."
Xiao Yuenu rolled her eyes, but didn't argue with Li Miaozhen in front of Li Chang'an.
It now seems that the Golden Eagle Heroine still harbors some resentment about Xiao Yuenü's early success in Jianzhou.
In fact, Xiao Yuenu was also wronged. It was clearly Li Chang'an who was skilled and knew women's minds very well. Moreover, he was talented, beautiful, and highly skilled. He managed to get her into bed in just a few days.
Li Miaozhen continued, "Li Lingsu must have gone to see her lover. Isn't her husband's mirror capable of monitoring from thousands of miles away? Why not use it to take a look?"
Everyone's eyes lit up.
The group returned to the courtyard where they had settled down, went inside without prior arrangement, lit candles, and then sat down at the table.
Li Chang'an took out the Hun Tian Divine Mirror, his tone carrying a mysterious air:
"Divine Mirror, help me find Li Lingsu."
The Heavenly Mirror protested, "Why do you like spying on men?"
I'll mark a few beauties for you; go and peep at them while they bathe.
Everyone's expression froze, while Xu Qi'an and the others were filled with anticipation for the mirror.
What a pity, this belongs to my master.
Li Chang'an glanced at Li Miaozhen and Xiao Yuenu, thinking to himself, "Do I, the king, need to sneak a peek at beauties emerging from their bath?"
He said to the mirror, "Stop talking nonsense and get to the point."
“Of course.” After saying that, the Hun Tian Divine Mirror transformed its bronze mirror surface into a transparent glass color. The mirror surface first rippled like water, and then calmed down.
A picture appears.
Everyone saw Li Lingsu flying on her sword.
His direction was towards the western mountains of Quanrong Mountain.
Is it to see an old flame?
But to see an old flame, do I really need to fly this far?
Could she be a married woman?
Various guesses flashed through everyone's minds, making them even more interested.
Li Miaozhen and Xiao Yuenu, in particular, had bright, shining eyes.
A woman's gossipy nature seems to never be extinguished.
Before long, Li Lingsu pressed down on her flying sword and landed on a mountaintop.
He looked around and, seeing no one nearby, quickly pulled a wooden comb from his pocket.
She deliberately messed up her neat bun slightly, letting two strands of hair fall down, highlighting her unruly and unrestrained temperament.
Next, Li Lingsu took out her storage artifact and took out a long robe with a black background and embroidered gold and silver threads.
Thus, amidst his unruly and unrestrained nature, he also acquired a touch of the air of a noble young master.
He sheathed the flying sword and held it in his arms.
Leaning against a tree trunk, he hid himself in the shadows, head slightly bowed, motionless.
