Auxiliary Women's Strategy: A Virtuous Wife Helps the King to Rule the World

Tai Qing was like a bird of extreme joy, taking incredibly light steps and running over like a gust of wind. He suddenly hugged Liu Yitao tightly with his whole body. His voice was not only tinged with tears but even trembled slightly as he said hoarsely, "Master, I really missed you so much. These days, my heart was always hanging in the air, I was terrified all day long, every minute and every second I was worried that something might happen to you. Now you are safe and sound, how wonderful!"

Liu Yitao tenderly extended her hands and gently stroked Taiqing's head. Her eyes were filled with endless doting as deep as the ocean. Her voice was as gentle as a warm spring breeze, and she spoke with soothing power, "I'm fine, my dear disciple. Stop crying. Master is standing right in front of you. Tell me what's going on."

At that moment, Taiyue, also in a hurry, hurried over. As he stopped beside Taiqing, his breathing still a little erratic, he began to recount the whole story with Taiqing. The two of them spoke back and forth, recounting the events in vivid detail. As they spoke, their expressions sometimes shifted from tense, their brows furrowed tightly as if they could pinch a fly, to relaxed, long sighs of relief, as if a heavy weight had been lifted from their hearts.

After listening quietly and attentively, Liu Yitao slowly turned to face Su Nan, her face instantly filled with gratitude. Her solemn and serious expression was moving. She said in an extremely sincere tone: "Thank you for saving my life." As soon as she finished speaking, she bent down and knelt down to express the deep gratitude in her heart that was difficult to fully express in words.

Su Nan was quick to act and quickly extended his hands to stop him. A smile as gentle as the warm sun graced his face, and he said calmly, "It's just a small favor. You really don't need to be so polite. Your two disciples have truly devoted themselves to your cause, running around tirelessly and trying every possible solution. If it weren't for their perseverance and unremitting efforts, you might have already met with misfortune."

When Liu Yitao heard Su Nan's words, her eyes looking at Taiyue and Taiqing were filled with deep emotion and immense relief, and that look seemed to be able to melt people.

"You two children, your master has made you suffer and be wronged." Liu Yitao's voice trembled slightly, full of love and guilt for his disciples.

Tai Qing shook his head repeatedly and anxiously, holding Liu Yitao's sleeves tightly with both hands, and said emotionally: "Master, as long as you can be safe and healthy, no matter what you ask us to do, we are willing to do it without a single complaint. Even if it means climbing mountains of swords and diving into seas of fire, we will not hesitate."

Taiyue also straightened his chest and said with an unwavering determination, "That's right, Master. We are not afraid of hard work at all. The only thing we fear is losing you. In our hearts, you are more important than anything else."

Liu Yitao's eyes instantly turned red, tears welling up in them, about to burst out. Without hesitation, she stretched out her arms and hugged her two disciples tightly, as if to embed them into her body.

"From now on, I promise you that I will never let you be so frightened and tortured again." Liu Yitao made this solemn promise. Although her voice was soft, the firm belief contained in it was unquestionable and made people believe it without a doubt.

"By the way, you just said that you met Jiang Fan from Wanbao Pavilion?" Liu Yitao's thoughts suddenly jumped, and she suddenly remembered the experience they had mentioned before in Fenglu City.

Tai Qing couldn't wait to answer, "Yes, Master! I've been wanting to ask you this for a while, but I was so excited just now that I forgot. Is that Jiang Fan the one you ran away from? From what he said, it seems like that's the case."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yitao gritted her teeth, a mixture of anger and helplessness flashing across her face. She said bitterly, "This Jiang Fan hasn't changed at all. He still acts in such a domineering and overbearing way, never considering other people's feelings and thoughts."

Su Nan couldn't help but laugh, and said with interest: "Judging from your reaction, there is actually some affection between you two, right? Your hatred for him gives me the feeling that you are disappointed in him."

When Liu Yitao heard this, her face instantly turned red, like a ripe apple. She hesitated for a long time before saying, "Hey! It's really hard to explain what happened here."

Seeing this, Su Nan didn't rush to ask about Liu Yitao's past affairs. Instead, he turned to Xiao Tingshan and said, "Tingshan, you should go back first. When you go back, you must guide Xiong Wei well and keep an eye on him. Don't let him cause trouble."

Xiao Tingshan immediately nodded respectfully, then bowed and said goodbye to Liu Yitao and others, then turned around and left in a hurry.

Liu Yitao also thanked him repeatedly, her gratitude overflowing with words. She had just learned from her disciples' stories that Xiao Tingshan had been of great help in this incident.

The brother and sister trotted back to the cave and began to clean up the mess left by Liu Yitao's breakthrough. Su Nan and Liu Yitao, arm in arm, chatted warmly, as if they were sisters.

……

Liu Yitao was the daughter of the lord of Taihua City, two thousand miles away from Fenglu City. The lord of Fenglu City was Jiang Yu. Su Nan hadn't anticipated this before. He had assumed Jiang Yu was just an ordinary businessman, but he hadn't anticipated the immense power behind him. Even so, Jiang Yu didn't resort to harsh or rude tactics against Su Nan. This not only showed that Jiang Yu wasn't a wicked villain, but also that he was meticulous and discerning, recognizing at a glance that Su Nan wasn't someone to be trifled with.

Liu Yitao and Jiang Fan's families had been close friends for generations, and the two had been childhood sweethearts, sharing a close bond. As children, they often spent days in one city and then a few in another, developing a deep bond. Naturally, the two families arranged a marriage for them, agreeing to marry when they reached the appropriate age.

When Liu Yitao was ten years old, she was taken to Liuxia Mountain by her master. From then on, her master began to teach her magic with all his heart. Since then, Liu Yitao and Jiang Fan have been separated.

In the words of her master Fan Ningning, "All men are bad. Yitao, as a cultivator, you must not be influenced or entangled by love. You are so talented, you should focus all your attention on cultivation. Besides, you can go down the mountain in ten years to see if that man really has you in his heart."

Liu Yitao began to cultivate with undivided attention. As expected, just as her master had said, she had an exceptional talent for cultivation. In just the ninth year, she successfully broke through to the Spiritual Transformation Stage. This achievement made Fan Ningning so happy that she boasted to everyone she met that she had such an outstanding disciple.

However, Fan Ningning also reached the end of her life.

That day, Liu Yitao went down the mountain to visit her parents, thinking that she would then go to Fenglu City to visit her future husband Jiang Fan. But just then, a group of extremely vicious people arrived at Liuxia Mountain.

……

Liuxia Mountain has always been a tranquil and peaceful paradise. Swirling clouds and mist resemble a soft veil, drifting and ethereal, a celestial aura permeates the air. The rolling hills resemble a giant dragon lying prone. The melodious chirping of birds is clear and melodious, like the sounds of nature. The mountain springs gurgle, rippling with crystal clear water. However, on this day, a thick, inky haze casts a relentless shadow, as if the end of the world is approaching.

Fan Ningning stood tall and straight atop Liuxia Mountain, her sleeves fluttering in the fierce wind. Her expression was as solemn as ice, her gaze fixed firmly and sharply on the dark cloud rolling in from the distance, obscuring the sky and the sun. The dark cloud, like a raging, raging wave, surged and raged madly, shadowy figures looming within it, emitting a chilling, chilling aura. Undoubtedly, it was the vicious enemies of the Purgatory Horn Prison, charging with all their might.
