108: Duan Zhengchun is seriously injured, Duan Yu's life story is revealed!

After Dao Baifeng returned to her room, she collapsed onto the bed, her face pale.

"It's over!"

"He knows!"

"He didn't turn hostile on the spot. Is it because he's considering Yuer, or is it because he already knew and just kept it hidden in his heart, never showing it?"

Dao Baifeng recalled Prince Duan's attitude towards her over the past two days, and couldn't help but suspect this.

"At least Yuer doesn't know yet, and he must never know."

"The two Aunt Ruan bore him children, suffered for over a decade waiting to see him, yet he never thought of finding their whereabouts. Even when they were close by, he wasn't willing to meet them. The moment he met them, he sweet-talked and deceived them, yet he never asked how they managed to raise their children alone all these years."

Ning Yuan's hands rested on their chests. Qin Hongmian hesitated for a moment but didn't resist. Gan Baobao, seeing that Qin Hongmian didn't object, also didn't resist, for reasons unknown, allowing him to do as he pleased.

"That's right, and Duan Yu is actually your son. So, are you going to kill him?"

Ning Yuan looked at the two women beside him, a surge of passion rising again.

Gan Baobao, on the side, couldn't help but feel a competitive spirit, "Since that's the case, then I dare too."

"Could it be Murong Fu has arrived?"

However, he didn't dare to gamble.

"Unlike me, I only feel for your difficulties, Aunt Ruan."

The next day.

Duan Yanqing's iron crutch landed on Duan Zhengchun's body, directly breaking all four of Duan Zhengchun's limbs, leaving him sprawled on the ground.

Duan Yu said hurriedly.

Duan Yanqing fell silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, "What a Princess of Dali, you lie without even batting an eye! Don't you know I have no heirs? I don't even know you, where would I get a son? What a joke!"

"As long as you, Aunt Ruan, are willing, I am willing to send out invitations far and wide, inviting people from the Jianghu to attend our wedding."

Duan Zhengchun pushed Duan Yu away and roared angrily.

Duan Yanqing sneered twice, "I want to kill someone, can you stop me? Let me tell you, today, no one can stop me from killing him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Zhengchun's iron crutch tapped, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared before Duan Zhengchun.

Duan Yanqing, holding his iron crutch, slowly emerged from the woods, his scarred face chilling to behold.

"Alright, this time when I return to Dali, I will divorce him. If that doesn't work, I'll go back to Yuxu Temple. That way, even if my belly grows, no one will know, and I can give birth in peace."

Seeing that Duan Yanqing was truly about to kill Duan Yu, Dao Baifeng gritted her teeth and suddenly shouted loudly, "You cannot kill him!"

"Who is it?"

Dao Baifeng again felt a surge of luck.

He didn't know who that woman was, and now suddenly learning that Duan Yu was his own son, this shock left the usually ruthless Duan Yanqing momentarily stunned.

In fact, Qin Hongmian naturally wouldn't truly do that; she was merely provoking Murong Fu to make him retreat.

Pfft!

With just one move, Duan Zhengchun immediately flew backward, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Don't waste your effort, no one is leaving today."

Dao Baifeng also looked around, suspicion in her eyes.

She held her long sword, slowly closing in.

"Do you alone deserve to bear the responsibility?"

"Nothing is impossible. This secret, I originally intended to take to my grave. If not for you trying to kill Yuer, I would never have told you."

Dao Baifeng's tone was mournful, then she glared sternly at Duan Yanqing, "So, are you still going to kill us?"

"Hahahahaha..."

Duan Zhengchun shouted loudly, "The throne was not stolen by us back then. If you want revenge, you shouldn't come after us."

Duan Yanqing snorted coldly, turned, and disappeared into the forest.

"Madam Duan, what do you intend to do?"

"Yuer, take Madam Ruan and head immediately towards Dali. She doesn't know martial arts; I will hold them off here."

However, what Dao Baifeng said did indeed match his past experiences; if she wasn't an eyewitness, she could never have known this matter.

Duan Yanqing said coldly.

Early the next morning, after Duan Zhengchun and the others had eaten, the four continued their journey.

But after seeing Ning Yuan's provocative gaze, Qin Hongmian was stirred up, "Good, as long as you dare to marry me, I will love you wholeheartedly."

Hearing this voice, the people present were first stunned, then immediately reacted.

"Do you dare to break the rules and not fear worldly judgment?"

"Mother, Aunt Ruan, be careful."

"What do you think?"

"You, you are the one from back then..."

"Now, merely because of some rumors and trivial matters, he harbors resentment towards the two Aunt Ruan, ignoring them. This shows that he never truly cared for you, Aunt Ruan. He only enjoys his achievements, enjoys his romantic escapades, and revels in the pleasure of several Aunt Ruan fighting for his affection, even to the death."

"You want to protect your son, yet you tell such a shameful and ridiculous lie. Don't you feel ashamed?"

Inside the room, robes lay scattered on the floor.

Duan Yanqing sneered.

"Whether it was stolen by you or not, since you brothers took this throne, the hatred between us is irreconcilable."

Yanz塢.

Murong Fu had sent him to eliminate Duan Zhengchun and his son, but now understanding the situation, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Duan Zhengchun and Dao Baifeng shouted simultaneously.

As they arrived at a forest, a sudden finger strike assailed them.

"Brother Chun!"

Seeing Duan Zhengchun severely wounded, Ruan Xingzhu anxiously cried out and rushed forward, but it was too late. Duan Yanqing's crutch smashed onto Duan Zhengchun's head. Duan Zhengchun immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, falling to the ground, his life unknown.

"Truly heartless and ungrateful!"

Ning Yuan picked up one woman and tucked the other under his arm, ignoring their exclamations, and directly carried them into the room, tossing them onto the bed.

"You can kill me, but you cannot kill my son."

Dao Baifeng also suddenly spoke, "Yuer, listen to your father."

Duan Yanqing raised his iron crutch again, intending to stab down.

Ruan Xingzhu's face changed drastically, but she knew no martial arts.

Dao Baifeng took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her gaze was resolute, "Because he is your son."

Gan Baobao on the side also snorted, gritting her teeth and saying, "If it weren't for you, I would never have..."

Duan Zhengchun took a deep breath, his face serious.

Dao Baifeng secretly gritted her teeth.

"Duan Yanqing, what exactly do you want to do?"

Duan Yanqing muttered to himself, his face full of disbelief.

He couldn't help but feel a murmur of doubt in his heart.

Although he had always known Qin Hongmian was bold, he never expected her to be this bold.

On the other side.

"Hehe!"

Ignoring the two women's exclamations, the commotion continued.

Duan Yanqing sneered, "Only by eliminating you brothers and your descendants can this throne return to my backside. Blame yourselves for accepting the throne back then, blame yourselves for not practicing martial arts diligently, for being weak."

"It's the leader of the Four Evils."

Duan Zhengchun was startled, raised his hand to block, then leaped from his horse, looking ahead with vigilance.

"Mother, you are pregnant, you should leave first."

Duan Yanqing retreated a few steps, a complex look in his eyes. After a moment, he regained his composure, "Hmph, I will investigate this matter thoroughly. Today, I will spare your lives."

"I feel for your hardships, Aunt Ruan."

Based on her current understanding of Murong Fu, he would never let her be alone outside.

Gan Baobao on the side couldn't help but be surprised.

"In the future, tell outsiders that you adopted him."

Just then, a hoarse, strange voice came from deep within the forest.

"You are no different from Duan Zhengchun."

Dao Baifeng's gaze also fell upon Duan Yanqing.

Ruan Xingzhu embraced Duan Zhengchun, crying out in panic.

Duan Yanqing looked at Dao Baifeng, who was blocking Duan Yu, and slowly raised his iron crutch, "If you remain stubborn, I will send you mother and son to reunite in the underworld."

"Yet he only coveted the bodies of the two Aunt Ruan, watching several Aunt Ruan fight for his affection, while he himself reveled in it."

"Duan Yanqing, it's you!"

"Yuer's true identity was only known to me. Now there's you. For Yuer's position, I can only let you down."

... "Alright, I'm willing to stay, but only if you release my son. I can bear all responsibility."

Memories flooded back, returning to twenty years ago, the ugly old man before her gradually overlapping with the person outside Tianlong Temple on that rainy night.

He had already despaired, collapsing outside Tianlong Temple. It was that woman, like Guanyin, who appeared and brought him hope, stimulating him, which led to the present The Utterly Evil.

"Hmm?"

"No, how can I let Father stay? Moreover, there's Mother."

Duan Yu sternly refused.

Duan Yanqing sneered twice, "I don't want to kill women. Today, Duan Zhengchun and his son must die."

Seeing Duan Yanqing about to kill Duan Yu, Dao Baifeng immediately panicked, instantly pouncing on Duan Yu and shouting loudly, "Stop! You are not allowed to harm my son!"

"Two Aunt Ruan, after this incident, I presume you have seen Duan Zhengchun's true colors, haven't you?"

Ning Yuan's face was serious.

"But I will never be as irresponsible as Duan Zhengchun, abandoning you, Aunt Ruan, merely because of some rules and worldly opinions. If it were me, I would break the rules and bring you all into the Prince's Mansion to share joy."

Seeing Duan Yanqing about to strike ruthlessly, Dao Baifeng dared not delay, immediately shouting, "Outside Tianlong Temple, beneath the Bodhi tree, a disheveled beggar, Guanyin with long hair."

"Since Aunt Ruan dares, how could I shrink back?"

No third person must know.

"Senior Sister, are you really going to do this? What about Mu Wanqing?"

Duan Yanqing's gaze fell upon Dao Baifeng, sizing her up, his eyes gradually showing astonishment and shock.

Dao Baifeng spoke coldly, seemingly asking, but her tone was actually certain.

Clearly, she was also guessing it was Murong Fu's doing.

"Hehe..."

"Since both Madam are willing, why don't I, your husband, test your skills tonight?"

"Yes."

Duan Yanqing retreated a few steps, his face full of astonishment.

The murderous intent in his heart also diminished somewhat.

Ruan Xingzhu's face showed nervousness, forcing a smile, "Madam Duan, what, what are you trying to do?"

"Brother Chun, how are you?"

Duan Yanqing spoke hoarsely, then slowly raised his hand, accumulating palm force.

If Duan Yu was truly his son, then what was he fighting for?

Anyway, the throne would eventually return to his lineage.

Duan Zhengchun's raised finger unleashed a powerful finger strike, but Duan Yanqing's iron crutch was like an iron pestle, directly shattering Duan Zhengchun's I Yang Finger and fiercely stabbing into Duan Zhengchun's chest.

Ning Yuan said calmly.

"Don't worry, he's not dead yet. I still need his life."

"Impossible, how can this be?"

"Prince Duan, after a few months, have you forgotten me so quickly?"

Duan Yanqing said coldly, then came to Duan Yu's side, "However, I only need to keep one of them. This boy is useless now."

Duan Yanqing, who was about to strike, froze in place. Even Ruan Xingzhu, who was tending to Duan Zhengchun, couldn't help but turn her head.

Duan Zhengchun immediately turned and roared at Duan Yu.

Dao Baifeng spread her arms, blocking in front of Duan Yu.

Back then, he had sought an audience with his uncle, Master Kurong, outside Tianlong Temple, but Master Kurong claimed to be in seclusion and refused to see him.

"Why can't I kill him?"

"I'll kill you!"

Duan Yu immediately shouted; after all, he had been imprisoned by the other party, so he was very familiar with the other party's voice.

Qin Hongmian, on the other hand, froze in place, because she was not yet mentally prepared for such a thing.

Qin Hongmian's eyes showed complexity, a moment of wavering, but she quickly calmed down, saying sarcastically, "Aren't you the same?"

Duan Yanqing sneered repeatedly, full of ridicule.

She also understood that Duan Zhengchun clearly hadn't directly turned hostile towards her because of Duan Yu's existence.

Such words, he naturally wouldn't believe.

Ning Yuan came behind Qin Hongmian and Gan Baobao, placing his hands on their shoulders, his tone gentle.

This also made her determined to completely hide the secret of Duan Yu's true identity in her heart.

Seeing Duan Yu's life hanging in the balance, Duan Zhengchun raised his hand to attack Duan Yanqing, but the gap between him and Duan Yanqing was too great.

"I Yang Finger!"

After a long while, seeing that Duan Yanqing had not reappeared, Dao Baifeng finally let out a sigh of relief, her body somewhat weak. But when she saw Ruan Xingzhu beside her, she regained her spirit, a murderous intent appearing on her face.

Duan Zhengchun's face showed tension and solemnity; knowing the other party's identity, he was very clear about the conflict and hatred between them.

Duan Yu, seeing this scene, immediately became furious and rushed forward.

Duan Yu also stood in front of the two with a vigilant expression.

Hearing Gan Baobao mention Mu Wanqing, Qin Hongmian hesitated for a moment, but then became resolute, just staring at Ning Yuan, "Do you dare or not?"

"If I find out you're lying to me, I will definitely kill him."

Duan Yu was full of anxiety behind them.

Since learning from Ning Yuan that the beggar outside Tianlong Temple was Duan Yanqing, this was the first time she had seen Duan Yanqing after knowing his identity.

"Father!"

Duan Zhengchun's mood was heavy. In another day, they would reach the rendezvous point with his subordinates, but now, the approaching person was clearly hostile.

Qin Hongmian sneered, raising her head to look at Ning Yuan, "Are you saying you dare to marry us?"

"You heard everything, didn't you!"

"Yuer!"

Dao Baifeng secretly calculated, but no one could predict the future.

"These sweet words can't deceive me."

Duan Yanqing's sharp iron rod stopped three inches from Dao Baifeng's face, the sharp gust of wind severing a strand of Dao Baifeng's hair.

"It seems he didn't lie to me; that person really is Duan Yanqing."

At this moment, Duan Yanqing attacked again, smashing Duan Yu with an iron rod. Duan Yu immediately flew out, falling to the ground, unconscious... "Yuer, hurry and leave, don't mind us."

Dao Baifeng's eyes showed murderous intent.

Because if Ruan Xingzhu lived, Duan Yu's true identity could be exposed at any time, which would shake his status as heir to the throne, something she absolutely would not allow.
