36: An old woman and an ugly woman? Are you sure?

Seeing this pair, Duan Zhengchun instinctively looked at Xiao Zhao.

Sure enough, Xiao Zhao's Face showed shock, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.

Yes, it was panic.

The newcomers were none other than Golden Flower Granny and A Li.

Golden Flower Granny had a notorious reputation in the Jianghu, killing without blinking an eye, often over a single disagreement.

However, almost no one knew that while Golden Flower Granny appeared to be an old woman in her seventies, her true identity was actually a genuine beauty.

Moreover, she had a resounding title: Purple Robe Dragon King.

She was one of the Four Great Guardian Kings of the Ming Cult, which spoke volumes of her status.

It was only after her husband Han Qianye died that she also disappeared.

The Jianghu lost a Purple Robe Dragon King but gained a Golden Flower Granny.

Furthermore, Purple Robe Dragon King and Han Qianye had a daughter, Xiao Zhao, whose real name was Han Zhao.

At this point, it could be said that only Purple Robe Dragon King herself and Xiao Zhao knew each other's identities.

Duan Zhengchun hadn't expected Golden Flower Granny to appear here.

Appearing now, it was clear she was coming for Xiao Zhao.

However, Zhao Min knew nothing of these matters.

She only glanced at the entering Golden Flower Granny and A Li, not taking them to heart.

“Eh, why have you two stopped eating?” Zhao Min asked in confusion.

“Guests have arrived; let the waiter bring two more sets of bowls and chopsticks,” Duan Zhengchun said calmly.

At that moment, a map appeared before Duan Zhengchun's eyes, showing four red dots clustered together.

This greatly surprised Duan Zhengchun.

He knew exactly what the red dots meant; the two closest ones should be Zhao Min and Xiao Zhao.

So who were the other two? The answer was obvious.

It was Golden Flower Granny and A Li, who had just walked in.

Thinking about it, it made sense; A Li was originally quite beautiful, but her Face was disfigured because she would Cultivate the Thousand Spider, Ten Thousand Poisons Hand.

Solving this problem was simple: abolish her cultivation, then use Marrow Cleansing to force the toxins out of her body.

Compared to Xiao Zhao, A Li was easier to handle.

As for Daiqisi, she was also a beauty who met the System's requirements.

Moreover, she was a Western Regions beauty; he wondered what the difference was between a Western Regions beauty and a Central Plains beauty.

Since they had delivered themselves to his door, he had no reason to refuse.

Hearing Duan Zhengchun's words, Zhao Min was puzzled and looked toward the door.

When she saw Golden Flower Granny and A Li entering, she became even more confused.

When did her husband get to know such people?

An old woman and an ugly girl?

“Husband, are the guests you mentioned these two?” Zhao Min asked doubtfully.

“That's right, it's them,” Duan Zhengchun nodded.

Hearing Duan Zhengchun's words, Golden Flower Granny paused her steps and looked up, a trace of gloom flashing in her eyes.

Especially when she saw Xiao Zhao's Face, a hint of killing intent flashed in her heart.

She hadn't expected that after sending her daughter to steal the Ming Cult's Heaven and Earth Great Shift Manual, they would meet again after only a few days of absence.

Not only had she failed to obtain the Mind-Cultivation Technique, but her daughter had also lost her chastity; now, her status as the Saintess was gone.

Why did it turn out like this? Back then, she herself had lost her Saintess status because of a man.

According to the rules of the Main Cult, she should have been punished, but because she had given birth to a daughter...

...and promised to let her daughter succeed her as the Saintess, she had been able to live peacefully for all these years.

But now, what exactly was going on?

Why did this happen?

However, now was not the time to discuss these things; she would see how things played out first.

“Kid, do you know this old woman?” Golden Flower Granny stared intently at Duan Zhengchun, her voice raspy and cold.

“Who in the Jianghu doesn't know the famous Golden Flower Granny?” Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.

Zhao Min also looked at Golden Flower Granny with a look of surprise.

She had heard of Golden Flower Granny's name; she was considered quite a figure, albeit a notorious one.

“Heh, I didn't expect this old woman's name to be so famous in the Jianghu.”

“Even a Junior like you knows it.” Golden Flower Granny looked at Duan Zhengchun with a fake smile.

“Senior is too kind. Meeting is fate; why not sit down and eat together?” Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.

“What kind of thing are you? Are you even worthy of inviting Granny to dinner?” A Li said coldly.

“Miss A Li, for a girl, it's better to be a bit more ladylike; that way, people will like you.”

“Otherwise, like this, you might never get married in your life,” Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.

“Bastard, scoundrel! How dare you insult me like this? I will definitely kill you!” A Li's expression changed, and she shouted in anger, about to strike.

But she was stopped by Golden Flower Granny.

“Kid, who exactly are you?” Golden Flower Granny narrowed her eyes and stared at Duan Zhengchun.

“Junior Duan Zhengchun greets Senior,” Duan Zhengchun said directly.

“Duan Zhengchun? You are the Prince of Zhennan of Dali, Duan Zhengchun?” Golden Flower Granny's expression changed.

“What prince or not? Before Senior, don't I still have to call myself a Junior?” Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.

“Heh, you kid certainly know how to talk.”

“In that case, this old woman will give you this chance for the sake of Emperor Baoding,” Golden Flower Granny said.

If it were anyone else, she certainly wouldn't give Face.

She would have just killed them and taken Xiao Zhao away.

But she didn't dare to directly kill the Prince of Zhennan of Dali.

Otherwise, she would be facing the pursuit of the entire Kingdom.

The Dali Duan Clan established their nation through martial arts; although on the surface there were only Emperor and Duan Zhengchun left, who knew if there were hidden Masters.

If that happened, it would bring her endless trouble.

She would see what was going on first.

A Li's expression was a bit unnatural; she snorted and followed Golden Flower Granny to sit at the table.

Xiao Zhao was somewhat nervous and uneasy; seeing Golden Flower Granny approach, she hurriedly gave up her seat and sat next to Zhao Min.

“And these two are?” Golden Flower Granny looked at Zhao Min and Xiao Zhao, seemingly unintentionally.

Her gaze lingered on Xiao Zhao for a few seconds longer.

“Oh, these two are my wives, Zhao Min and Xiao Zhao,” Duan Zhengchun explained with a smile.

“Good, very good. I have long heard that the Prince of Zhennan of Dali is a profligate man.”

“I originally thought it was just a Jianghu rumor, but seeing it today has truly opened this old woman's eyes.” Golden Flower Granny's Face was terrifyingly dark.

“Aya, I can't help it. For a man, being too outstanding is also a burden,” Duan Zhengchun said helplessly.

“Pfft...”

Zhao Min spat out a mouthful of water; she had originally thought Duan Zhengchun was thick-skinned enough.

She hadn't expected him to be so shameless that he could say such things without even changing his expression.

“Tch, shameless,” A Li snorted.

“It seems Miss A Li doesn't quite agree with what I said?” Duan Zhengchun asked with a smile.

“Hmph, I've seen shameless people, but never anyone as shameless as you.”

“Who praises themselves for being outstanding? People like that are usually just useless fluff,” A Li said with a disdainful curl of her lip.
