29: Qin Hongmian, the Asura Knife (end of the month)

“This…” Duan Zhengchun showed hesitation and couldn't help but look up at Duan Zhengming.

“Worthy Nephew Murong, wouldn’t it be rude for us to do this? Let’s verify it later!”

Although Duan Zhengming was also very curious, the other party was a guest after all, and it would be impolite for them to make a move.

“Senior, you speak too seriously. I consider Young Master Duan Yu my brother, and since you two are his elders, you are also my, Murong Fu’s, elders. Moreover, Junior is also doubtful about this matter and wishes to witness the true power of I Yang Finger.”

Ning Yuan immediately said with a serious expression.

Dao Baifeng, who was sitting beside him, also frowned, not knowing what Ning Yuan was planning.

But at this moment, it was not good to say much.

“Since that’s the case, then I apologize for the offense.”

Duan Zhengchun was not an indecisive person. Having received permission, he immediately clasped his fists and said, then raised a finger to attack Ning Yuan.

Ning Yuan used Star Shift, and the two exchanged blows. They only stopped after more than ten moves.

“I Yang Finger is indeed powerful, but I can also confirm that the I Yang Finger displayed by that First Evil…”

Ning Yuan suddenly paused here and looked at Duan Zhengchun and Duan Zhengming.

“Young Master Murong family, please speak freely.”

Duan Zhengming immediately said.

Murong Fu then nodded, “Based on my previous experience fighting the First Evil, the I Yang Finger he used is exactly the same as the finger technique Prince Duan uses. The only difference is…”

“What is the difference?”

Duan Zhengchun’s face was serious as he anxiously pressed for an answer.

“The difference is that the First Evil’s internal Qi is deeper, and his mastery of I Yang Finger is probably even greater than Prince Duan’s.”

Ning Yuan finally finished speaking.

“How is that possible?”

Duan Zhengchun looked disbelieving. It was one thing for the First Evil to know his Dali Duan Family’s I Yang Finger, but now to say he was more skilled than a member of the Dali Duan Family naturally made Duan Zhengchun find it hard to believe.

“Hmph, if you spent all the time you spend on women on martial arts, you wouldn’t let an outsider surpass you in your family’s martial arts.”

Dao Baifeng couldn’t help but retort sarcastically.

“Madam…”

Duan Zhengchun looked embarrassed.

Fortunately, Duan Zhengming interrupted in time, “It seems the identity of this First Evil still needs careful investigation. However, Young Master Murong family hasn’t had a good rest these past two days. Yu’er, you should take Young Master Murong family to rest first.”

“Uncle, don’t worry, I’ll take Big Brother Murong family to rest now.”

Duan Yu excitedly stepped forward.

And Dao Baifeng, hearing her son call him 'Big Brother' repeatedly, felt a mix of emotions in her heart.

But she couldn't stop it... Returning to the front hall.

Mu Wanqing immediately rushed over, “Husband, what did they want with you?”

Mu Wanqing asked with a worried expression.

“Nothing, just thanking me.”

“But you didn’t encounter any danger, did you?”

“No, all the Four Evils were blocked by you, Husband. We had a smooth journey back to Dali and brought reinforcements, but you, Husband, had already repelled the enemy.”

Speaking of this, Mu Wanqing showed an expression of admiration.

Just as the two were chatting for a while.

A maid hurried over, “Young Master Murong family, Miss Mu, the Prince invites you to dine.”

“Alright, we’re going now.”

Ning Yuan led Mu Wanqing to the main hall.

However, Dao Baifeng was not at the table.

“Where is the Princess?”

Ning Yuan asked casually.

“I’m truly sorry, Madam was injured and tired from the journey, so she has already gone to rest. Please forgive our inadequate hospitality.”

Duan Zhengchun stood up, smiling and cupping his hands in explanation.

“I see, the Princess being injured certainly needs rest.”

Ning Yuan nodded in understanding and sat down with Mu Wanqing.

“Big Brother Murong family, Miss Mu, thank you both for your help this time. I’d like to toast you both!”

Duan Yu raised his wine cup and suddenly said.

“Brother Duan, you speak too seriously. Since we call each other brothers, saying thanks again would be too formal.”

Ning Yuan also stood up and said seriously.

“Big Brother Murong family, then I won’t say anything extra.”

Duan Yu looked excited, then drank it all in one gulp.

“Then from now on, I shall call you Worthy Nephew Murong.”

Duan Zhengchun also said with a chuckle.

To befriend a Young Master like Murong Fu naturally brought countless benefits.

Moreover, his son being able to get to know such a Master and become brothers with him made him, as a father, feel more at ease.

“Uncle Duan!”

Ning Yuan also called out with a smile.

The few of them chatted happily.

It wasn't until late at night that a commotion was heard outside.

Duan Zhengchun frowned, and just as he stood up, he heard a scolding voice, “Wan’er, aren’t you coming with me?”

“It’s Master’s voice.”

Hearing the shout, Mu Wanqing stood up in surprise, her face showing a hint of panic.

“This voice… could it be…”

Duan Zhengchun was also startled, showing a thoughtful expression.

“Since it’s your Master, let’s go out and meet her.”

Ning Yuan stood up, took Mu Wanqing’s delicate hand, and said gently.

“Husband, when you see my Master, please don’t say anything out of turn. Let me explain. My Master has a bad temper, so you must not get into a conflict.”

Mu Wanqing turned around and said earnestly to Ning Yuan.

“Don’t worry, how could I possibly get into a conflict with your Master? She is your Master, your elder, and therefore my elder.”

“Miss Mu, is your Master Shura Blade Qin Hongmian?”

At this moment, Duan Zhengchun asked excitedly.

Mu Wanqing, however, looked bewildered, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. My Master is called Secluded Valley Guest.”

“Secluded Valley Guest?”

Duan Zhengchun was suspicious, but still walked out with them.

They saw a middle-aged woman in a black shirt standing in the courtyard of the Prince’s manor.

The woman had a pointed face, long slender eyebrows, and was quite beautiful, but her eyes held three parts stubbornness and three parts fierceness.

Mu Wanqing had completely inherited this personality from her.

“Wan’er, let’s go home!”

Qin Hongmian saw Mu Wanqing and immediately said.

“Master, why are you here?”

Seeing Qin Hongmian, Mu Wanqing also showed excitement and immediately ran forward.

“If I didn’t come, who knows who would have abducted you.”

Qin Hongmian snorted coldly.

Mu Wanqing’s cheeks immediately flushed red, feeling a bit embarrassed.

“Hongmian! It really is you!”

Just then, a voice full of excitement came.

Duan Zhengchun also quickly walked down the steps, his eyes gazing affectionately at Qin Hongmian, “Just now, hearing your voice, I had a hunch, and I didn’t expect to really see you again.”

“Duan Zhengchun!”

Seeing Duan Zhengchun, Qin Hongmian’s eyebrows immediately shot up in anger, and she scolded, “Prince Duan, please just call me by my full name.”

“Hongmian, what’s wrong? We’ve finally met again, please come in, let’s have a good chat.”

Duan Zhengchun took a few steps forward, but Qin Hongmian’s eyes sharpened, a short blade appeared in her sleeve, and she pointed it at Duan Zhengchun.

The surrounding Prince’s manor guards immediately drew their swords upon seeing this.

“What’s going on?”

“Do Father and Miss Mu’s Master know each other?”

Duan Yu was also confused.

Ning Yuan, however, understood the reason and merely watched with cold eyes.

“Master, do you know Prince Duan?”

Mu Wanqing also asked in surprise.

After this incident, she didn't have time to introduce Ning Yuan to Qin Hongmian.

“Wan’er, let’s go!”

Qin Hongmian snorted coldly and pulled Mu Wanqing, about to leave. Duan Zhengchun was about to stop them when two playful laughs came.

“Good apprentice, I finally found you, come with me!”

Yue Lao San and Yun Zhonghe appeared beside Duan Yu, and without giving Duan Yu a chance to speak, they had already carried Duan Yu and leaped off the high platform.
