The Lord God is kneeling on the washboard again

"Am I, Bai Yize, destined to be inferior to Nangong Han?" Bai Yize cried out in his heart unwillingly, the fire of jealousy burning in his heart becoming more and more intense, and that jealousy almost swallowed up his sanity. Especially when he thought that his beloved girl's heart and eyes were full of Nangong Han, but she disdained him, he felt unbearable pain and secretly vowed to find an opportunity to surpass Nangong Han and regain his own glory and dignity.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) had no idea what was going on in Bai Yize's mind, and Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) was having a great time playing with his daughter whom he had just met.

Standing in the Lingxiao Sect's team, Bai Yize watched this heartwarming scene, his jealousy growing stronger. He clenched his teeth, his face gloomy, and his eyes gleamed with resentment.

"Why is Nangong Han always so happy? Why can he have all this?" Bai Yize thought indignantly in his heart.

However, Nangong Han was completely unaware of all this. In his world at this moment, there was only his daughter's laughter and the invaluable parent-child time.

Luo Lingshan looked at Xing Xuanli and shouted, "Xing Xuanli, Sanyue, will you challenge me to a duel?"

Xing Xuanli raised her eyebrows slightly and replied calmly, "Why not?"

Luo Lingshan snorted coldly: "Then let's meet in March, and then we will definitely decide the winner!"

Xing Xuanli smiled gently: "Looking forward to your arrival."

When the people around heard their agreement, they began to talk about it.

"Both Luo Lingshan and Xing Xuanli are masters in the martial arts world. This duel is sure to be exciting."

“I wonder who will come out on top.”

"Whatever the outcome, it's bound to be an exciting battle."

In the Yuxiao space, the divine beasts sneered when they heard that Luo Lingshan was going to challenge their master Xing Xuanli.

The giant white tiger was the first to speak: "Humph, she dares to challenge the master? She is simply overestimating herself!"

The Azure Dragon beside him swung its whiskers and said disdainfully, "Luo Lingshan is so ignorant of her own limitations. How can she contend with the Master's strength?"

The colorful phoenix spread its gorgeous wings and said contemptuously, "She thinks she has some ability, but she doesn't know that she is nothing in front of the master."

Qilin stepped on the auspicious light and shook his head, saying, "Such provocation will only add to the ridicule."

Suzaku flapped his flaming wings, his tone full of sarcasm: "Wait and see how the master will easily defeat her and let her know how foolish she is."

The group of divine beasts spoke one after another, full of contempt and disdain for Luo Lingshan's challenge.

Little Mu Han in the space frowned when he heard the conversation between the divine beasts.

He blinked his big eyes and said in a baby voice, "My dear uncles and aunts, don't underestimate Luo Lingshan. Maybe she has her own strengths."

When the divine beasts heard what Xiao Muhan said, they were stunned at first. Then the white tiger laughed and said, "Xiao Muhan, you are a kind-hearted child. What's so great about Luo Lingshan? She is just arrogant."

Xiao Muhan said seriously: "You can't say that. We still need to be cautious."

Qinglong nodded and said, "Little Muhan has some truth in what he said, but the master's strength is unquestionable. I don't think Luo Lingshan will be able to cause any big trouble."

Xiao Muhan said thoughtfully: "Well, I believe in my mother's ability, but I can't take it lightly."

The Five-Colored Phoenix smiled and said, "Little Mu Han is such a sensible child, and his mind is so meticulous."

Little Mu Han smiled embarrassedly and continued to listen to the discussion of the divine beasts.

The secret realm trial has come to an end, and the disciples of each sect have said goodbye to each other and returned to their own sects to continue their cultivation.

At the exit of the secret realm, disciples from different sects gathered in groups of three or five.

"We have gained a lot from this trial. See you later!" A disciple dressed in green bowed to his companion beside him.

"I must digest what I have learned this time when I go back. I hope that we can reach a higher level when we meet next time." Another disciple responded with a smile.

Some disciples, with determination in their eyes, said, "See you next time, I will definitely become even stronger!"

Some disciples also hugged each other and encouraged each other: "Keep going, don't slack off!"

For a moment, farewells echoed one after another. Then, everyone set out on their journeys home. Some disciples mounted their spirit beasts and sped away; others, using their acrobatic skills, vanished into the distance like lightning.

Carrying with them the experiences and insights gained in the secret realm, they plan to return to the sect to practice even harder and improve their strength, so that they can make their mark in the martial arts world in the future.

An Lingyan also said goodbye to Xing Xuanli and Shi Sang, her eyes full of reluctance and nostalgia.

"Sister Shisang, Sister A'li, see you later." An Lingyan said softly, with a slight sob in her voice.

Then, she turned around and walked out slowly, shouting loudly as she left: "Sister A Li, please come to Qingfeng Gate as a guest when you have time!" The voice echoed in the empty space.

Xing Xuanli smiled and waved at her, shouting, "Okay, I'll definitely go!"

Shi Sang also shouted, "Be careful on your way!"

An Lingyan's figure became farther and farther away, until it turned into a small black dot and finally disappeared into the distant sky.

Xing Xuanli and Shi Sang stood there, staring at the direction An Lingyan had left, not moving for a long time. A gentle breeze blew past, ruffling their hair, as if also expressing the sadness of parting.

Shi Sang and Xing Xuanli hugged each other and said goodbye. They hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to pass on each other's warmth and strength.

Shi Sang patted Xing Xuanli on the back and said, "Take care of my host." His tone was full of concern and reluctance.

Xing Xuanli raised her head slightly, tears glistening in her eyes, and responded: "Take care of my deputy building owner."

They let go of each other, looked into each other's eyes, and a thousand words were expressed in this affectionate gaze.

Afterwards, Shi Sang turned around and resolutely embarked on his way home. Xing Xuanli stood there for a long time, watching Shi Sang's departing back, until the figure disappeared from the end of her sight.

The wind blew gently, ruffling Xing Xuanli's hair. She took a deep breath, turned around and walked in her own direction, with expectation and determination for the future.

Su Yao, the eldest sister of Baihua Palace, stepped forward, smiling and said softly, "There is a period for the later stage, Palace Master Xing."

Xing Xuanli nodded slightly and smiled back: "Miss Su, take care."

The eldest sister's eyes were filled with sincerity and blessing: "May everything go well for Star Palace Master. I look forward to seeing an even better you next time we meet."

Xing Xuanli opened her red lips and said, "I would like to thank Miss Su for her good wishes and wish the Hundred Flowers Palace prosperity."

After that, Su Yao turned around gracefully and walked away with the disciples of Baihua Palace. Xing Xuanli looked at the direction they left, feeling a lot of emotions in her heart.

Lin Mo Ran of the Beast Taming Sect also said goodbye to several prominent figures from other sects. He cupped his hands together and said solemnly, "Take care, everyone. See you later."

Then, he turned to Xing Xuanli, his eyes full of respect, and said, "Palace Master Xing, Regent, take care."

Xing Xuanli nodded slightly and responded with a faint smile: "Mr. Lin, take care of yourself too."

The Regent Nangong Han on the side also said: "Mr. Lin, have a safe journey."

Lin Mo Ran clasped his fists again, then turned around and set off on his return journey with the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect. His figure gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

Chu Qingyue of the Phantom Pavilion approached gracefully, her clothes fluttering and her expression gentle. She bowed slightly to Xing Xuanli and said softly, "Take care, Palace Master Xing. See you later."

Xing Xuanli responded with a smile: "Miss Chu, I hope everything is well with you too."

A trace of reluctance flashed across Chu Qingyue's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She nodded to Xing Xuanli again, then turned and left. Her graceful figure gradually moved away until it disappeared from everyone's sight.

The Grand Elder of the Sun Moon Palace stepped forward to ask Xing Xuanli, his expression respectful but his tone slightly anxious: "Palace Master, are you going back to the Sun Moon Palace?"

Xing Xuanli frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Great Elder, I still have some things to deal with, so I won't be back for now."

A trace of worry flashed across the eyes of the Great Elder, and he said, "Palace Master, there are still many matters in the palace waiting for your decision. You must make plans early."

Xing Xuanli nodded gently and said soothingly, "Don't worry, Great Elder. I know what's going on. I'll be back after I finish the things at hand."

The Great Elder sighed helplessly and said, "Well then, Palace Master, please be careful while you're out there. Everyone in the palace is looking forward to your early return."

After saying this, the Great Elder bowed and slowly retreated.

Xing Xuanli looked at the disciples of the Sun and Moon Palace, her eyes full of reluctance and concern.

She slowly began to speak, "My fellow disciples, as we part ways now, I hope you will all practice diligently and never forget your original aspirations."

The disciples responded in unison: "We will follow the Palace Master's instructions!"

Xing Xuanli nodded slightly and continued, "In the palace, we must support each other and work together for the prosperity of the Sun and Moon Palace."

"Yes, Palace Master!" The disciples' voices were firm and powerful.

Xing Xuanli's gaze swept across everyone's faces one by one, as if she wanted to imprint everyone's appearance deeply in her heart.

"Take care. I look forward to meeting you again and hoping that you will both make breakthroughs and achieve something." After saying that, Xing Xuanli turned around and walked away. Her figure looked particularly lonely in the afterglow of the setting sun.

The disciples of the Sun and Moon Palace looked at her departing back, unwilling to leave for a long time, and secretly vowed in their hearts that they would not let the Palace Master down.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) held his daughter in one hand and held Xing Xuanli's hand with the other.

He held his daughter firmly in his arms, her small body radiating warmth and softness. Her little hands clutched his clothes tightly, and she giggled, her face filled with innocent joy.

He held Xing Xuanli's hand tightly, as if afraid that if he let go, she would disappear. Xing Xuanli raised her head slightly, looking at him and her daughter, her eyes full of happiness and satisfaction.

The family of three walked slowly forward, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, casting long shadows, and the picture was warm and beautiful.

After a long walk, I finally arrived home. The Regent's Palace was brightly lit.

The guards at the gate were in high spirits. Upon seeing Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) and his party, they immediately bowed respectfully. As they entered the mansion, the servants had already lined up neatly on both sides, shouting in unison: "Welcome back, Prince, Princess, and Miss!"

Walking into the courtyard, the fragrance of flowers fills the air, and the sound of gurgling water flows through the rockery. In the main hall, tables and chairs are neatly arranged, and the tables are filled with exquisite snacks and fruits.

Yun Mohan held his daughter in his arms and walked into the house with Xing Xuanli by hand. The maids hurried forward, took the daughter from Yun Mohan's arms, and coaxed her carefully.

Xing Xuanli sat on the couch, stretched her body gently, and a tired but happy smile appeared on her face.

Yun Mohan stood aside, looking at the warm scene in front of him, his heart filled with relief and satisfaction.

"Li'er, why didn't you bring Xin'er back with you when you went home?" Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) frowned, looking straight at Xing Xuanli with confusion and dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Xing Xuanli lowered her head slightly, bit her lip, and said a little aggrievedly: "Han, I originally wanted to bring Xin'er back with me, but the situation was complicated at the time. Xin'er...she was sick and weak, so it was not suitable for her to travel long distances."

Nangong Han's expression suddenly became nervous when he heard this: "Sick? Is it serious? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Xing Xuanli hurriedly explained, "Han, don't worry. Venerable Chi Yan has been treating her all day, and her condition is no longer serious. She just needs some time to recuperate, so I came back alone."

Nangong Han sighed deeply, his tone softening a bit: "Li'er, I'm not blaming you, I'm just too worried about Xin'er. How is she now?"

Xing Xuanli nodded gently: "Don't worry, Xin'er is very strong and has recovered well. As soon as she fully recovers, I will immediately bring her back to reunite with us."

Nangong Han walked to Xing Xuanli and held her in his arms: "Thank you for your hard work, Li'er."

"Li'er, how did you and Venerable Chi Yan know each other?" Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) looked at Xing Xuanli with a puzzled expression, his eyes full of concern and curiosity.

Xing Xuanli raised her head slightly, lost in reminiscence, and slowly said, "Han, that was a dangerous journey through the martial arts world. I was alone, deep in a mysterious valley, searching for a precious herb, but I accidentally fell into a trap. Just when I was almost in despair, Venerable Chi Yan appeared. He was like a savior sent from heaven, and with a wave of his hand, he broke the complex trap and rescued me from my predicament."

Nangong Han frowned and asked, "Then what?"

Xing Xuanli continued, "Afterwards, we walked out of the valley together. Along the way, we exchanged martial arts experiences and found that we had quite a good rapport. His martial arts skills were unfathomable, but he was also a generous and righteous person, which made me admire him. When we parted, we left each other a token of our gratitude and promised to help each other in the future if needed."

Nangong Han gently held Xing Xuanli's hand and said, "I see. However, this Chiyan Zunren has a great reputation in the martial arts world. He is both good and evil. You need to be more careful when interacting with him."

Xing Xuanli nodded and replied, "Han, I know what's going on. You don't have to worry."

"Don't worry, he is Xiao Muhan's master, and he is very good to the three of us, mother and son." Xing Xuanli looked at Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) firmly, her tone full of sincerity.

Nangong Han's brows were still slightly furrowed, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Li'er, it's not that I don't trust you, but this person has a complicated reputation in the martial arts world. I'm worried that there's something else behind his good intentions."

Xing Xuanli stepped forward, gently held Nangong Han's hand, and said, "Han, I understand your concerns. But ever since he became Xiao Muhan's master, he has taught Xiao Muhan everything he knows without reservation. He has also been very caring towards me and my daughter, and has never done anything inappropriate."

Nangong Han stared into Xing Xuanli's eyes, was silent for a moment, and said, "Li'er, perhaps I am overly suspicious. But when it comes to your safety, I have to be cautious."

Xing Xuanli smiled and responded, "Han, I understand your feelings. But during this time together, I can really feel his sincerity. He often brings new and interesting toys to the children, making them laugh. When I was not feeling well, he would also send me precious medicinal herbs."

Nangong Han listened to Xing Xuanli's story, his expression gradually softening. "If that's the case, then let's observe and see. As long as he truly treats you well, I won't harbor any grudges."

Xing Xuanli nodded and leaned in Nangong Han's arms: "Well, I believe time will prove everything."
