Kapitel 213

Upon hearing this, Nanshan nodded in understanding. So that's how it is. His master really does have a wife, but he has never met her.

"Why did you say that?" Nanshan asked quickly.

"Because when I chased after her that night, I fought with her for a while. Her martial arts were very similar to what my master had told me. And if I'm not mistaken, my master told me that he was also in the capital and was even chasing after her." Ru Feng recalled the figure she saw, which did indeed look a lot like her master. That's why she didn't intend to believe the map and route that appeared out of nowhere.

But aren't Master and Mistress tired of chasing each other like this?

"I've made up my mind!" Ru Feng snapped his fingers, took out the short flute he always kept close to his body, handed it to Nan Shan, and said, "Contact Master immediately and have him and his wife cause some trouble at Yi Han's house, and then postpone the Gathering of Beauties Banquet."

Nanshan's lips twitched slightly. He looked at Rufeng and said, "Senior brother, that's indeed a good idea. The organizer is the Empress Dowager, after all. Without Yi Han, what kind of banquet can she hold?" He could finally rest now. Sigh, he was exhausted. He would definitely have to ask Chen to make amends for the grievances he had suffered these past few days!

As if in a dream, Ru Feng murmured to himself, finally leaning against a tree with his sword in his arms and falling asleep. Seeing this, Nan Shan also yawned and drifted off to sleep.

So, the eagle, filled with anticipation, quickly found its master.

Meanwhile, Wuqingjian frowned and said loudly, "Old woman, stop bothering me. My disciple needs to see us." As he spoke, he waved the note in his hand. The banquet for all beauties was tomorrow morning, and Rufeng had only just delivered the message. What was she thinking? It was fine if she didn't contact him normally, but once she did, she gave him such a difficult problem.

"What? A message like the wind? Isn't she dead?" The woman in red, who was preparing poison, stopped abruptly, her expression full of surprise. She simply reached out and grabbed the note, which immediately appeared in her hand.

"Death?" Wuqingjian sneered, "How could my disciple die so easily?" But he had to thank Rufeng. If she hadn't been so to his liking, he wouldn't have won her back so easily.

This time, the woman in red didn't object. She simply said, "Alright, I will definitely do a good job on the task my good disciple entrusted to me." She patted her chest confidently, certain that she could handle this small matter!

"But, wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?" Ruthless Sword said cautiously. "After all, I have a relationship with Elder Yi. I shouldn't ruin it, especially since it involves a weak woman." Although he didn't care about that empty reputation, he was still the most famous Ruthless Sword in the martial arts world! Although he hadn't done any good deeds, he had never done anything as bad as this before.

The woman in red rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "Which is more important, your disciple or that Elder Yi? I only know that success requires any means necessary, so for the sake of my good disciple Ru Feng, that girl Yi Han can just go cool off somewhere else. Hmph, vixen, how dare you steal my disciple's husband!" As she spoke, she seemed to remember something, her eyes narrowed sinisterly, and she stared straight at the Ruthless Sword.

The Ruthless Swordsman flinched, his usual imposing manner before Ru Feng gone. Instead, he lowered his head meekly, only able to manage a dry laugh, daring not to say anything more. He didn't even dare to correct him, acknowledging that Ru Feng was his disciple, not hers.

Sure enough, the next day, the Empress Dowager issued an edict that the banquet for all beauties would be postponed for two days because she was not feeling well. Although everyone was puzzled, they had no choice but to accept it. After all, more time meant more time to prepare and a better chance of success.

Finally, the Flower Banquet arrived amidst the anticipation of all the women. Early in the morning, the more prominent families in the capital were bustling with activity. This year's banquet was almost identical to the previous one, except that there were no foreign envoys present. Moreover, the number of men had decreased, leaving only Prince Chen and the unmarried Second and Third Princes.

Yujue and Yuxuan met unexpectedly on the road.

The two exchanged a glance, and Yu Xuan sighed before dismounting and getting into Yu Jue's carriage.

"Brother," he called out softly, weakly.

Yu Jue nodded understandingly; both of them looked somewhat haggard.

"Ru Feng, is something really wrong?" Similarly, they didn't believe Ru Feng was in trouble, but they couldn't find him anywhere, so they were very worried. Of course, they didn't know that the person dressed in men's clothing, disheveled and rushing desperately towards the capital at that moment was none other than Ru Feng!

Yu Jue shook his head calmly and said, "Nothing will happen."

"Sigh, what's the point of attending a banquet like this without Ru Feng?" Yu Xuan said with a bored expression.

"Even if Ru Feng participates, you'll still be bored, perhaps even more bored," Yu Jue said frankly. With the Imperial Uncle around, what use would they be?

Yu Xuan revealed a cunning smile and said, "Let's marry off the Imperial Uncle at this banquet. That way, Ru Feng won't want him anymore, and I'll have a chance."

"Childish!" Yu Jue glanced at him and coldly uttered those two words.

Yu Xuan glared at him angrily: "Brother, what do you mean by this?"

“What could it mean? Do you think Uncle Yu is someone who can be manipulated by others? If he were, he wouldn’t have remained unmarried all this time.”

“That’s because Father Emperor helped us before,” Yu Xuan explained, glancing at his slow-witted brother. “But now I’m very curious why Father Emperor suddenly agreed to hold this banquet.” He stroked his chin, thinking quietly.

"That's one reason, but the most important reason lies with the Imperial Uncle." Looking at his younger brother's eyes, Yu Jue had no choice but to explain.

Yu Xuan ignored his words and was only thinking about his own things.

Soon, they arrived at the banquet venue.

To their surprise, Mu Wenchen was indeed sitting in his seat, but he remained indifferent, quietly drinking his wine without glancing at the flirtatious women.

Throughout the entire banquet, although the sounds of string and wind instruments continued uninterrupted, they did not attract Mu Wenchen's attention in the slightest.

Yu Jue and Yu Xuan's attention was also drawn to Mu Wenchen, while the Empress Dowager and Empress were the ones watching with great interest.

Several hours later, looking at Yi Han, who had already won, the Empress Dowager smiled with satisfaction. She kindly asked Mu Wenchen, "Chen'er, what do you think of Yi Han? How about this, I'll make the decision for you, the marriage will be in three days." She looked at Mu Wenchen affectionately as she spoke. In her opinion, Mu Wenchen's presence here, coupled with his filial piety towards her over the past few years, meant that the matter was almost certain to succeed.

Only the Empress smiled, a barely perceptible sneer playing on her lips.

Mu Wenchen remained silent, as if he hadn't heard the Empress Dowager's words, and just kept pouring wine one cup after another. Mu Tong behind him was also quite helpless, but still obediently served him.

Just as the atmosphere became tense, just as the Empress Dowager was about to lose her temper, and under the tense gazes of Yu Jue and Yu Xuan, and amidst Yi Han's dramatic change of expression, a familiar, sharp voice suddenly rang out from the doorway, "Miss Ru Feng from the General's Mansion has arrived!"

Volume 3, Chapter 161: Stunning – A Path of Ruthlessness Yet Compassion

Just as the atmosphere became tense, just as the Empress Dowager was about to lose her temper, and under the tense gazes of Yu Jue and Yu Xuan, and amidst Yi Han's dramatic change of expression, a familiar, sharp voice suddenly rang out from the doorway, "Miss Ru Feng from the General's Mansion has arrived!"

Upon hearing this voice, the people in the lobby were immediately stunned.

Miss Rufeng from the General's Mansion? Wasn't she already dead? How did she reappear?

Some people recalled Ru Feng's face and couldn't help but look expectantly towards the doorway.

While everyone was still stunned, the person walked in.

Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, lightly drawn; her eyes were upturned at the corners, like starlight, captivating with every glance; her cheeks were flushed with a rosy blush, alluring and charming. Upon seeing the man dressed before them, everyone's breath caught in their throats.

She wore a light blue robe tinged with white leaves, her hair bound with a jade crown and silver threads, the silver ribbons fluttering in the breeze, the black and white contrasting like a silver thread in the finest dark silk, shimmering and radiant. She possessed a gentle, ethereal beauty, her every glance captivating, yet also exuded a heroic spirit and boundless charm.
