53: Princess, I will serve you well! (Please order 10,000 updates)

Gusu.

Yanz 塢.

"Young Master, was your trip to Dali successful?"

After returning to Yanz 塢, A Zhu asked softly.

"Everything went smoothly."

Ning Yuan replied with a smile.

Looking at A Zhu in front of him, her black hair was already coiled up, and he immediately pulled her into his arms.

Although he had done it many times during his time in Dali, now only a twofold amplification remained, but at this moment, he didn't need such a high amplification for the time being.

After all, he had once again fallen into a Bottleneck.

Super-class, almost the limit of a Martial Artist.

The Three Elders of Xiaoyao, the Four Greats of Tianlong, were all at this level.

It was just that their Cultivation Technique, combat experience, and the characteristics of their Cultivation Technique were different.

Only the Sweeping Monk might have broken through this Realm.

"If I can obtain the Cultivation Technique of the Three Elders of Xiaoyao again, perhaps I can advance another level."

Ning Yuan thought to himself.

He had already started planning in his mind.

Obtaining the Cultivation Technique of the Three Elders of Xiaoyao was not difficult for him now.

He didn't even need to forcibly take it.

He could make them willingly give it.

That night.

Dao Baifeng didn't wait for Ning Yuan to appear in the room, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But for some reason, she was also a little disappointed.

Dao Baifeng quickly shook her head, throwing away the shameful thoughts that suddenly appeared in her mind, "How shameless, how can I have such thoughts? Nothing tonight, I'll find a chance to leave tomorrow."

"I can't give him another chance, I can't make the same mistake twice."

Dao Baifeng made up her mind, clenching her delicate fists... The next day.

Dao Baifeng was about to bid farewell.

Ning Yuan interrupted her first.

"Second Brother, since you've come to my residence, I'll take you to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan these few days. My Aunt's Mantuo Manor has beautiful scenery, rare in the world. My Aunt has been a widow for many years, so if Aunt goes, she might be able to chat with my Aunt."

Ning Yuan sincerely invited her.

Dao Baifeng was about to refuse, but Duan Yu had already nodded in agreement impatiently, "Since Big Brother invites me, I, your brother, naturally accept Big Brother's kindness."

Dao Baifeng could only swallow the words she had prepared last night once again.

Although Ning Yuan didn't come to her last night, staying one more day meant one more 'day' of danger for her.

And Ning Yuan's insistence on keeping their mother and son clearly had ulterior motives.

Unfortunately, Duan Yu didn't know, and she couldn't explain it.

"It's fine if Princess Consort wants to stay, but Zhu Danchen and I need to return quickly to inform the Prince that the Young Master is safe, to reassure the Prince and the Dali officials."

Ba Tianshi bid farewell.

"Since Minister Ba has important matters, I won't keep you. Don't worry, the Princess Consort and Young Master will be absolutely safe with me. When the time comes, I will return them to Dali intact and unharmed."

Ning Yuan also said seriously.

"Thank you, Young Master Murong."

Ba Tianshi and Zhu Danchen bowed in unison, then left Yanz 塢.

Ning Yuan then took Duan Yu and Dao Baifeng, along with the two girls A Zhu and A Bi, and set off by boat to Mantuo Manor.

Duan Yu stood at the bow, admiring the lake scenery.

The gentle breeze felt like a spring breeze, making one feel lazy.

A Bi and A Zhu rowed the boat on both sides.

Dao Baifeng and Ning Yuan sat inside the boat canopy, brewing tea and chatting.

"Aunt, how does the scenery here compare to Dali?"

Ning Yuan glanced at Duan Yu, who was standing with his back to them, and asked casually, while his hand had unconsciously taken hold of Dao Baifeng's soft hand.

Dao Baifeng instantly tensed up, pulling twice, but failed to withdraw her hand. A trace of panic appeared on her face, and her gaze immediately swept towards Duan Yu, who was standing with his back to them at the bow, then she glared at Ning Yuan.

But she dared not scold him.

She could only grit her teeth and say, "It is indeed beautiful, with a unique charm."

Seeing this, Ning Yuan immediately sat beside Dao Baifeng, casually kneading Dao Baifeng's jade hand, his palm resting on Dao Baifeng's lower abdomen, "It's good that Aunt likes it, then my little nephew's painstaking efforts won't be in vain."

Dao Baifeng bit her lips tightly, but dared not make any sound, let alone scold him.

"Mother, look ahead!"

Just then, Duan Yu at the bow suddenly shouted in surprise, pointing ahead.

Hearing Duan Yu's voice, Dao Baifeng shivered in fright and quickly looked up.

At this moment, Duan Yu also turned his head and saw Ning Yuan and his mother sitting in the boat canopy, and he didn't mind their close proximity. He smiled and said, "Mother, the scenery of Jiangnan truly has its own unique charm compared to our Dali!"

Seeing that Duan Yu hadn't noticed what Murong Fu's hand was doing under the table, Dao Baifeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "That's natural."

"By the way, how much further do we have?"

Dao Baifeng looked at Ning Yuan and asked, but her gaze carried a hint of pleading.

Making such gestures in front of her son made her feel embarrassed.

Seeing Dao Baifeng's pleading gaze, Ning Yuan smiled slightly, understanding that Dao Baifeng was becoming more submissive, so he released her hand, "We'll be there in a moment."

"I see it."

Duan Yu suddenly shouted at this moment.

Dao Baifeng was startled, her body stiff, then she slowly looked up, only to realize that at some point, Duan Yu had already turned around, pointing at the island and manor appearing ahead.

Realizing her misunderstanding, Dao Baifeng let out a long breath, showing a look of relief.

Just then, a faint voice came from her ear, "Aunt, just stay here from now on. Your little nephew will take good care of you."

Before Dao Baifeng could answer, Ning Yuan had already stood up.

Leaving Dao Baifeng in the boat canopy with a restless heart... Mantuo Manor.

Madam Wang was leaning on a soft couch, pricking a small doll in her hand, muttering curses through gritted teeth, "Damn Murong Fu, that cursed little scoundrel, he stirred up my fire and then ran off, not returning for a month, I'm so lonely I could die!"

Madam Wang squeezed a silver needle and fiercely pricked the cloth doll.

The maids working in the garden were all cautious, fearing to anger Madam Wang.

Madam Wang's temper was always bad, and it had become even more peculiar these past few days.

It seemed she was angry all the time.

If Miss was not in the residence, several people might have been beaten to death by Madam.

And just as Madam Wang was still sulking, a hurried footsteps came.

Madam Wang's willow-like eyebrows immediately raised, her eyes widened, revealing a furious expression, "I said to be quiet, you lowly maid, how dare you disturb my peace, do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"

Madam Wang shouted sharply.

The maid who rushed in was so scared that she shivered, immediately knelt on the ground, and said tremblingly, "Madam, please forgive me, Madam, please forgive me!"

"Speak, what exactly is the matter?"

Madam Wang snorted coldly, "If there's nothing, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"It's, it's Young Master Murong who has arrived."

The maid kowtowed to the ground, not daring to raise her head, and quickly said.

"What?"

Hearing Murong Fu's name, Madam Wang immediately sat up, exclaiming in surprise, "Murong Fu is here."

"Yes, it's Young Master Murong!"

Although the maid felt Madam Wang's attitude and tone were a bit strange, as this should have been the Miss's reaction, she dared not think too much at this moment and truthfully said, "Young Master Murong also brought two guests."

A Zhu and A Bi were Murong Fu's trusted maids, so they were naturally not considered outsiders.

"Good!"

Madam Wang immediately stood up, showing joy, "Since it's for this matter, I'll pardon your offense, follow me to..."

Madam Wang was about to say to welcome them.

Suddenly, she felt it was inappropriate for her status to welcome a Junior, and immediately stopped speaking.

Especially in such a proactive situation, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.

Madam Wang narrowed her eyes, looking at the maid kneeling on the ground outside the pavilion, head bowed. The maid shivered in fear, not daring to speak.

"What kind of guests did he bring?"

Madam Wang regained her calm and asked.

"It's one male and one female."

The maid immediately replied.

"There's a woman?"

Upon hearing that there was a woman among the people brought, Madam Wang's almond eyes widened involuntarily, then she snorted coldly, "Bring them in."

Madam Wang lost the intention to personally greet them.

"Yes!"

The maid felt as if she had been granted a great pardon.

It wasn't until she left the garden that she let out a long breath, her pale face regaining some color.

"How can Madam treat Young Master Murong like this..."

The little maid felt strange in her heart, but dared not think deeply, and quickened her pace... "Big Brother, this Mantuo Manor truly lives up to its name, with beautiful scenery, vibrant flowers, and a fragrant garden."

Duan Yu stood outside the gate, looking around with an appreciative expression.

"It's good that Second Brother likes it, then stay a few more days."

Ning Yuan said with a smile.

At this moment, the mansion gate opened wide, and a white-clad young girl had already rushed into Ning Yuan's arms, "Cousin, you're finally back."

"Who is this?"

Duan Yu looked at Wang Yuyan, immediately showing a look of infatuation, then as if remembering something, his mouth opened wide in surprise, his fan pointing at Wang Yuyan, stammering, "This, this, isn't this the Heavenly Immortal sister from the cave that day? Did that Heavenly Immortal sister's jade sculpture come to life?"

Wang Yuyan looked up, gazing at Duan Yu blankly, not understanding what he meant.

"This is my Cousin, Wang Yuyan, and also my fiancée. You can call her Big Sister-in-law."

Ning Yuan said to Duan Yu with a smile.

Wang Yuyan's cheeks instantly flushed, and her gaze towards Ning Yuan was filled with disbelief, and—surprise!

Because this represented the acknowledgment of her status.

Wang Yuyan's face was flushed as she thought of these things.

"Is that so!"

Duan Yu's smile was a bit forced. Looking at the beautiful A Zhu and the petite A Bi beside Ning Yuan, he couldn't help but ask, "What about Miss Mu?"

"Miss Mu?"

"Cousin, who is Miss Mu? Is she a new friend you've made?"

Wang Yuyan looked up and asked curiously.

Duan Yu immediately showed an embarrassed expression towards Ning Yuan.

Ning Yuan, however, understood that Duan Yu's mentality had also collapsed.

"You'll know about this later. Let's go pay our respects to Aunt first."

Ning Yuan said casually.

"Oh."

Wang Yuyan nodded obediently. Although curious, since Cousin didn't say, she wouldn't ask. Cousin's acknowledgment of her status just now had made Wang Yuyan completely disregard other things.

"The mistress of the Murong Family!"

Wang Yuyan thought happily.

Dao Baifeng, beside her, looked at Wang Yuyan, who was like a Heavenly Immortal descended to earth, and her mood became even more complex.

"This person in front of me is even more promiscuous than Duan Zhengchun!"

Dao Baifeng thought to herself, then remembered that even a middle-aged woman like herself had been... Dao Baifeng's cheeks felt slightly hot, and she quickly regained her composure.
