271: I, Li Qiushui, cannot bear the shame.

"I heard that a golden coffin has appeared in the Great Qin Jianghu, and there is a heavy treasure hidden inside."

"It might be the Legacy of Master Wang You from the Cold Water Temple. Because of this, countless forces want to snatch the golden coffin."

"Oh, right, guess who the person escorting the golden coffin is?" Lu Xiaofeng suddenly asked.

"Who is it?"

"It's the brother-in-law of Prince Duan whom we met back in the Deaf-Mute Valley, the Young Master of the Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall's Lei Family, Lei Wujie." Lu Xiaofeng looked at Hua Manlou with a smile.

"So it was them. No wonder they were carrying a strange coffin when they went to the Deaf-Mute Valley. It turns out that was the golden coffin." Hua Manlou had a look of sudden realization.

So that golden coffin was indeed the golden coffin from the Cold Water Temple. Could it be that Master Wang You's Legacy is really hidden inside?

I heard that Master Wang You was an expert of the Earth Immortal Realm.

His Legacy is definitely not simple.

"Yeah, but Prince Duan came up with an idea and opened the golden coffin directly."

"As it turns out, there was no Legacy inside at all, but a little monk."

"However, according to the latest news, that little monk is the Young Sect Master of Beyond the Heavens. There are people from the Demonic Sect as well as those from the Righteous Path who want to snatch the little monk Heartless."

"And once Heartless dies, the people of the Demonic Sect from Beyond the Heavens will go completely mad and start a war with the Righteous Path."

"There are also people in Beyond the Heavens who want to start a war against the Righteous Path, but because of the little monk Heartless, no one supports them."

"Because they all want to welcome back their Young Sect Master and revitalize Beyond the Heavens, so they can resist the offensive of the Righteous Path."

"The reason the Righteous Path, led by Snow Moon City, and Beyond the Heavens have been stable for so many years is that the little monk Heartless was at the Cold Water Temple."

"Back then, the people of the Righteous Path wanted to kill Heartless and completely wipe out the people of the Demonic Sect of Beyond the Heavens."

"This was all because Master Wang You stepped in and took Heartless away, which allowed the Righteous Path and the Demonic Sect to remain stable for so many years."

"Now that Master Wang You has passed away, those with ill intentions from both the Righteous Path and the Demonic Sect are starting to stir."

"No matter who from the Righteous Path or the Demonic Sect gets the little monk Heartless, the peace of all these years will be broken."

"This is a key figure related to the future of both the Righteous Path and the Demonic Sect. It seems the Jianghu is about to be in turmoil again." Hua Manlou's tone was calm but full of emotion.

"Yes, the Jianghu is going to be in turmoil again." Lu Xiaofeng said with a sigh.

At that moment, an old man who looked like a butler quickly approached Hua Manlou.

"Young Master, there is a letter from the Kingdom."

"Oh? The Kingdom? Could it be a letter from Prince Duan?" Hua Manlou showed a look of surprise.

Lu Xiaofeng reached out to take the letter, and upon opening it, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Haha... As expected of Prince Duan, he truly is extraordinary."

"Haha..." Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Lu Xiaoji, what exactly happened? What did Prince Duan say?" Hua Manlou looked at Lu Xiaofeng with curiosity.

"Prince Duan invited us to attend the Full Moon Feast for the Little Princes and little princesses."

"Old Hua, guess how many children Prince Duan has this time?" Lu Xiaofeng looked at Hua Manlou with a grin.

"How could I possibly guess that? The Prince has so many confidantes by his side."

"Even if every one of them has an offspring, it's impossible to be sure how many. No one can say for certain if there will be twins."

"However, at a full count, there should be ten." Hua Manlou frowned and rubbed his chin as he analyzed.

"Hmm, that analysis makes a lot of sense. As expected of Old Hua, that brain of yours is quite useful."

"Prince Duan added three Little Princes and eight little princesses this time. My goodness, I have to say, in this regard, I truly admire Prince Duan." Lu Xiaofeng sighed as he looked at the information in the letter.

"If you weren't such a scoundrel, you'd have a group of wives and concubines by now too."

"However, I reckon you wouldn't have the strength like the Prince to make the women around you live together so harmoniously." Hua Manlou had a teasing expression.

Lu Xiaofeng was suddenly embarrassed. He knew himself very well; he was naturally romantic and claimed to have lovers all over the Great Ming, but he still hadn't married.

He owed many romantic debts, which was also the reason he often had no fixed residence—he was afraid those women would find him and cause trouble.

"So, this is exactly what makes Prince Duan so admirable."

"To be able to make the women around him live in such harmony, like biological sisters."

"This kind of method, even the current Emperor doesn't have it. It's truly enviable." Lu Xiaofeng sighed with a smile, his tone full of envy.

"Don't just stand there talking about sour grapes because you can't eat them."

"Did the Prince say when it will be held? Is the timing tight? If not, we still need to prepare a proper congratulatory gift." Hua Manlou's expression became much more serious.

"I'm aware of what you're saying, but the things we have on hand probably won't even catch the Prince's eye."

"The Prince doesn't lack those mundane items; what we need is sincerity." Lu Xiaofeng rubbed his chin and thought for a moment before speaking.

"Well, what you said makes some sense. So, do you have any good suggestions now?" Hua Manlou asked with a frown.

"There's only half a month left. Let's go, call Ximen along." Lu Xiaofeng said.

"Then let's go. We'll act separately. I need to return to the Hua Family's treasury to select a few suitable gifts." Hua Manlou stood up.

"I'll have to bring out my hidden treasures as well. It's just that, eleven of them at once is a bit of a headache." Lu Xiaofeng frowned slightly.

He was also having a bit of a headache. Having to prepare eleven kinds of treasures all at once, even his accumulation over the years wouldn't be enough.

Mainly, he didn't dare to bring out anything inferior, as that would cause him to lose Face.

Not only would it be losing his Face, but it would also be losing Prince Duan's Face.

Since Duan Zhengchun was going to hold a Full Moon Feast for the children, Li Qiushui naturally wanted to join in the fun and had many gifts prepared and sent to the Prince of Zhennans Residence.

Moreover, she also wrote down her unique skill, White Rainbow Palm Force, and handed it to Duan Zhengchun.

"This is my unique martial art. In the current Martial Forest, besides my Master, I am the only one who knows it."

"Now, consider it a gift for these little ones."

"I know you don't lack such things, but this is my sincerity." Li Qiushui handed the Secret Manual to Duan Zhengchun.

"You're being too formal. We're all one family, no need to be so polite." Duan Zhengchun grabbed Li Qiushui's small hand and looked at her with a smile.

"That may be so, but as their Godmother, I naturally have to prepare gifts for the little ones."

"Otherwise, if word gets out, I couldn't afford to lose that Face." Li Qiushui shook her head.

"Your coming here is the best gift. There are many guests today, so I'll need you to help receive them. I'm not as experienced as you in these matters." Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.

"I really don't know how you manage as a Prince, to have a mere woman like me handle these things." Li Qiushui gave Duan Zhengchun a playful glare.

She said this, but she didn't look like she had any Life Qi at all.

On the contrary, her eyes were full of smiles.

Duan Zhengchun can entrust this matter to her, which means he truly did not treat her as an outsider.
