6: Langhuan Jade Cave!

Not long after.

At the dining table in the living room.

"Cousin, where did you go this morning?"

Wang Yuyan looked at Ning Yuan and asked curiously.

After all, she had searched all over Mantuo Manor but couldn't find her Cousin.

Madam Wang, who was sitting distractedly at the head of the table, couldn't help but secretly glance at Ning Yuan upon hearing this.

Her legs involuntarily clamped together; at this moment, she wasn't wearing any undergarments.

Ning Yuan, however, had a calm expression. "I found a quiet place to practice martial arts. Is there something you need, Cousin?"

"No, I was just worried about Cousin."

Wang Yuyan quickly shook her head.

She naturally couldn't say that she was worried Murong Fu would leave in anger because of her mother's attitude.

"This afternoon, I need to take your Cousin to Langhuan Jade Grotto to retrieve something. Yu Yan, you don't need to follow. Go to the camellia garden behind the mountain and look after the camellias for me."

At this moment, Madam Wang suddenly put down her chopsticks and said.

"Mother, you're taking Cousin to Langhuan Jade Grotto?"

Wang Yuyan showed surprise. Langhuan Jade Grotto is one of the five Holy Lands of the Martial Forest and the core of the Murong Family. Mother has always forbidden outsiders from entering.

Even Cousin had never been allowed to set foot inside.

Although Wang Yuyan was naive and simple, she knew her mother's wariness towards her Cousin, or rather, the Murong Family.

Today, she had unexpectedly changed her usual temper and allowed her Cousin to go to Langhuan Jade Grotto, which naturally surprised Wang Yuyan.

After all, Mother's attitude towards Cousin last night was still very bad; this change was too sudden.

"Why, is it not allowed?"

Madam Wang asked with a stern face.

"Of course not. Then, Mother, you two go ahead. I'll come find you later."

Wang Yuyan quickly stood up and shook her head.

Although she found this strange, since Mother's attitude had changed, it was a good thing.

This way, perhaps Mother wouldn't oppose her marriage to her Cousin in the future.

Wang Yuyan thought happily to herself.

As Wang Yuyan left, Madam Wang finally let out a sigh of relief. However, with a maidservant still nearby, she couldn't make any inappropriate moves.

"Let's go."

Madam Wang also stood up and said to Ning Yuan, then instructed the nearby maidservants: "You don't need to follow."

"Yes!"

The maidservants on both sides immediately bowed their heads and responded.

Madam Wang had long held authority in the Murong Family; no one dared to say 'no' in front of her.

This was also why Madam Wang had previously been so condescending towards Murong Fu.

Because she was already used to it... --- Langhuan Jade Grotto.

A small pavilion by the lake.

"Come in."

Madam Wang snorted and walked in, swaying her graceful figure.

Watching Madam Wang's swaying figure, Ning Yuan smiled slightly and followed closely behind.

As they went up the stairs, the two arrived on the upper floor.

They immediately saw rows of wooden shelves piled high with Secret Manuals for martial arts.

Madam Wang quickly twisted a lamp stand on the wall, opening a hidden mechanism. A square-shaped small hole appeared in the wall, inside which a wooden box was placed.

"The Xiao Wu Xiang Skill is for you, but I must warn you, this Cultivation Technique is missing its last section and is incomplete."

Madam Wang opened the wooden box expressionlessly, threw the Secret Manual inside to Ning Yuan, then turned around to face Ning Yuan and said through gritted teeth, "What happened between us ends here."

"I also hope you can keep this a secret. If this matter becomes known, both you and I will be ruined."

Madam Wang said sternly.

Although last night had allowed her to re-experience the joy of being a woman and quenched a thirst of over a decade, Madam Wang still did not want to be associated with Murong Fu.

"Auntie saying that truly saddens me. Was your nephew not attentive enough last night?"

How could Ning Yuan easily let Li Qingluo off, especially when Li Qingluo adopted such a condescending attitude in front of him, which immediately ignited Ning Yuan's anger.

"The martial arts have already been given to you. What else do you want to do?"

Madam Wang couldn't help but take a step back, leaning against the bookshelf, her face showing nervousness.

"I don't want to do anything, but Auntie, you've been alone for over ten years. Can you really bear to continue being alone?"

"Auntie, you are nearing forty. Your prime years are passing. If you continue to be lonely, I fear your beauty will not be preserved!"

Ning Yuan's words were subtle.

Madam Wang's expression immediately changed repeatedly.

Because Ning Yuan was right; she was indeed no longer young.

Over the years, she had already felt the traces of time etched on her face.

It was just that she maintained herself well, so it wasn't obvious.

But without nourishment, she would only age faster and faster in the future.

But,

"What does that have to do with you!"

Madam Wang's almond-shaped eyes widened as she rebuked sharply, "I can pretend that what you did to me yesterday never happened, and I hope you don't continue to make mistakes."

"But I'm afraid Auntie, your body doesn't think so, does it?"

Ning Yuan suddenly grabbed Madam Wang's arm, and with a gentle pull, Madam Wang was turned around, facing the bookshelf. Her waist involuntarily bent, and her face pressed tightly against the bookshelf.

Her hands were also twisted behind her waist.

"Murong Fu, what else do you want to do?"

Madam Wang asked in a low voice, but after what happened yesterday and this morning, Madam Wang's resistance was not strong.

It was more like a reluctant acceptance.

She indeed couldn't bring herself to actively cooperate against her will.

But if it was forced, she could convince herself.

"How can you do this to Yu Yan?"

"How will you and I face Yu Yan in the future?"

"Stop this. I can pretend not to know about this matter."

Madam Wang reprimanded in a low voice.

"Don't worry, as long as Auntie you don't say anything, how would Cousin know? Unless Auntie you insist on telling Cousin about this."

Ning Yuan said indifferently.

After all, he was just a transient in this world and didn't care about these things at all.

Ning Yuan lifted her skirt, and there was nothing underneath.

The cool sensation immediately made Madam Wang shiver all over, and her face showed an expression of shame and annoyance.

"You were prepared for this. It seems what you think in your heart is different from what you say with your mouth!"

Ning Yuan showed a playful expression.

Not long after, the study was in turmoil... An hour later.

Li Qingluo knelt on the ground.

At this moment, Wang Yuyan also cautiously entered the pavilion.

"Strange, Qiuyue and the others said Mother and Cousin came to Langhuan Jade Grotto and haven't left. Did something happen?"

"Mother didn't have another conflict with Cousin, did she?"

A hint of worry appeared on Wang Yuyan's beautiful and refined face.

"Mother, are you there?"

Wang Yuyan walked up the stairs and called out.

Madam Wang behind the bookshelf suddenly froze, her almond-shaped eyes wide, her willow-like eyebrows raised, and her face revealing a panicked expression.

She dared not speak, only signaling Murong Fu with her eyes, worried about making any noise.

Ning Yuan took half a step back, and Madam Wang finally managed to catch her breath, calming down slightly. Hearing the approaching footsteps, she immediately whispered:

"Yu Yan, Murong Fu is currently comprehending martial arts. It's a crucial moment and he cannot be disturbed. Please wait outside first."

Madam Wang said hurriedly.

Wang Yuyan also quickly stopped upon hearing the voice. "Cousin is Cultivating?"

"That's right. I've already taught him the Xiao Wu Xiang Skill. He's currently comprehending it. Please step back and wait."

Madam Wang continued.

And Ning Yuan, at this moment, took half a step forward.

Madam Wang glared angrily at Ning Yuan.
