145: It's unbearable! Beautiful women are a source of trouble!

"I need to hurry back and tell Lord Ye, so she can inform Big Brother Shen!"

Xu Muqing's face showed urgency, and she rose to leave.

Xu Muyan was pulled along by her, still holding a half-eaten chicken leg.

"Muqing, don't be so anxious!"

Lu Hongmian looked at Xu Muqing a little strangely and whispered, "Given Lord Shen's astuteness and the capabilities of the Imperial Dynasty's Three Departments, even if you don't say anything, they probably already know. The current lack of movement is just them biding their time."

"This kind of thing, you used to see through it at a glance. Now, how... how..."

This is the confusion that comes with caring too much!

Xu Muqing, of course, understood her Master's meaning, and her fair face immediately turned red.

"Master, I, I..."

Lu Hongmian shook her head, looking at Xu Muqing, who had always presented herself as elegant and aloof, now uncharacteristically flustered and blushing. She was certain.

She sighed slightly, then said with a smile, "Don't be so nervous. We are not like those great Sects of Buddhism that need to adhere to strict precepts. The Dao of Cultivation is inherently a solitary path. It is rare enough to meet someone you admire and love. How could Master stop you?"

"Master, what are you saying? I don't..."

Xu Muqing's cheeks grew even redder, but her panic had subsided, replaced by a hint of shyness.

"Oh, let's not talk about this right now!"

Xue Ziyi was a bit fed up with the topic. Everyone present had been single for many years, and Xu Muqing suddenly had someone she liked, and her Master was even so supportive.

Unbearable!

It was truly unbearable!

She quickly changed the subject, saying, "Since Duan Tianxiao is colluding with Prince Pei's Mansion, why don't we follow them and see? We might even get some other information."

"Ziyi is right! Let's go and see."

"Alright!"

The group paid their bill, left the restaurant, and followed the commotion in the street...

On the street, Liu Xianyun held a sword in one hand and a wine jar in the other, drinking as she walked.

Walking and drinking like this, she had a somewhat alluring, hazy-eyed look of intoxication.

Liu Xianyun had long forgotten what happened in the restaurant. She didn't even know that Duan Tianxiao had already led people in pursuit.

But even if she knew, what then?

The fact that she dared to walk so openly on the street meant she had no intention of hiding her whereabouts.

"Move aside, move aside!"

"Our Young Master Duan is here, hurry up and get out of the way!"

At this moment, several arrogant voices came from the street. A group of servants in short jackets chased from behind, pushing aside all the vendors and pedestrians blocking their way.

These overbearing and tyrannical methods drew the attention of passing Cultivators.

"Oh? Whose Young Master is this, daring to act so wildly in Pei Wang City? Aren't they afraid of being arrested by Prince Pei's Mansion's patrol soldiers?"

"Arrested? You must be new to Pei Wang City, right? That's Young Master Duan of the Duan Family, who would dare to arrest him?"

"The Duan Family? Could it be that Duan Family that has expanded its business to ten surrounding Imperial Dynasties?"

"It seems you're not completely ignorant. Besides that Duan Family, who else could it be? I heard the Duan Family cooperates with Prince Pei and has some connection with the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to do such a large business."

The Myriad Treasures Pavilion!

Everyone showed understanding.

If the Duan Family truly had the Myriad Treasures Pavilion's backing, then it made perfect sense!

The entire street was quickly cleared.

Those watching the commotion stood in the corners.

On the street, a dozen or so servants had completely blocked the way at both ends of the street.

Only Liu Xianyun stood alone in the middle of the street.

"Good dogs... don't block the Dao!"

Liu Xianyun was unconcerned, a faint smile playing on her lips.

This smile, however, caused the Cultivators present who saw her face to show surprise, a strange look in their eyes.

What a peerless beauty!

Why had they never discovered such a stunning woman in Pei Wang City before?

Her voluptuous and sensual figure, exquisite face, a pair of captivating eyes, and long, firm legs were particularly eye-catching.

Especially with that hint of drunken, hazy charm, everyone was mesmerized.

"Hahaha... you bitch!"

"I thought you were going to run!"

"I really didn't expect your guts to be so extraordinary. You crippled my hand on my territory, and you still dare to swagger through the streets?"

"It seems the heavens are helping me!"

On the street, Duan Tianxiao, with his crippled arm hanging, walked towards Liu Xianyun, his pale face showing glee.

Behind him followed the three Xiaoyao Realm Masters from Prince Pei's Mansion!

"Young Master Duan, is this the woman who dared to offend you?"

"Indeed, she's bold. Don't worry, we'll capture her shortly and put her in your sedan chair so you can have your revenge!"

The three Xiaoyao Realm Masters showed disdain.

One of them spoke with a somewhat ambiguous expression.

Pei Wang City was Prince Pei's territory. As people from the Prince's Mansion with Xiaoyao Realm Cultivation, they simply didn't put others in their eyes.

Perhaps only those around Shen Tianxing could make them restrain themselves a bit.

After all, they didn't have the guts to provoke people from the Imperial Dynasty.

Duan Tianxiao was very pleased. He walked up to Liu Xianyun, and seeing her charming and exquisite face, a restless fire reignited within him.

Truly a peerless beauty!

For her, he lost an arm, but as long as he could have her, it would all be worth it!

Liu Xianyun's beautiful brows furrowed slightly. She exhaled a puff of wine-scented breath and looked at Duan Tianxiao with hazy eyes.

"You're too noisy!"

"If you dare to bother me again, I'll make you regret it!"

Liu Xianyun had no interest in getting entangled with a dissolute Young Master like Duan Tianxiao.

It was too beneath her!

Although she had robbed him of his money, he had brought it upon himself!

With her Cultivation Realm and perspective, it was even less likely for her to kill such a person.

However, even if she didn't kill him, she had plenty of ways to make him suffer.

"Joke, this is Pei Wang City!"

"In Pei Wang City, who doesn't know the prestige of my Duan Family?"

"Today you broke my arm, so don't even think about leaving!"

"Wu Liang, I'm leaving her to you!!!"

Duan Tianxiao was afraid Liu Xianyun would strike again. With one arm already gone, he didn't want to get involved himself.

It was better to leave it to those few Xiaoyao Realm Masters. Once she was captured, he would torture her properly!

"Hehe, Young Master Duan, don't worry!"

"A Cultivator from who knows where, with no clear background, how much power could she possibly have?"

"Leave it to us!"

The three Xiaoyao Realm Masters had already probed her with their Divine Thought.

Although they couldn't fully discern Liu Xianyun's Cultivation, they estimated that at most, she was just like them, having stepped into the Carefree Realm. To put it bluntly, they didn't even need all three of them to act!

But since it was arranged by General Fu Xiu, they didn't mind taking action and capturing Liu Xianyun!

Boom!!!

The three Xiaoyao Realm Masters attacked together, their Auras surging. Three powerful Auras enveloped Liu Xianyun!

Crack!!!

The sword Liu Xianyun leaned on the stone slab trembled slightly, and the stone slab beneath was directly shattered by the three Auras!

Immediately after, the three of them simultaneously reached out a hand towards Liu Xianyun, grabbing at her!

"Three Xiaoyao Realm Masters against a mere woman? The people of Prince Pei's Mansion are too shameless!"

"I know them. They seem to be the Wu family brothers from Xianzhou, highly favored by General Fu Xiu. I never thought General Fu Xiu would send them out to be Duan Tianxiao's thugs!"

"This girl is going to suffer. Of all people to offend, she had to offend Duan Tianxiao, this dissolute Young Master."

"Alas, beauty is a curse. If she didn't possess such a peerless face, how would she attract the covetousness of wolves..."
