Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

As the man in black's lewd hands were about to touch Xia Linglong's body, Lin Ping felt uneasy and dared to guess the other party's bottom line.

It was obvious to everyone that Lin Ping had deliberately revealed Xia Linglong's gender. If she were defiled, Lin Ping would bear an inescapable responsibility. In this way, the two would become sworn enemies. However, Lin Ping had to do this in order to save his own life.

"You're asking for death!" Xia Linglong's cold eyes flashed, and her two rows of white teeth bit down hard on the lecherous hand, instantly soaking it with bright red blood.

"This girl is ruthless..." Lin Ping's hair stood on end, and he even regretted betraying her.

Xia Linglong didn't just take a simple bite; she bit off two of the man's fingers, causing blood to spurt out from the severed fingers, making him writhe on the ground in pain.

"Pah..." Xia Linglong spat out the two dirty broken fingers from her mouth and spat out a mouthful of phlegm.

The man next to her was stunned. He was relieved that it wasn't him who reached out, but in a fit of rage, he immediately pulled out a sharp dagger and pointed it at Xia Linglong's chest.

"You bitch, die!" The man in black, whose face was grotesque beneath his veil, was already intent on killing Xia Linglong.

Lotus Palace is the largest sect in the Martial Kingdom. Even the emperor has to show them respect. They don't care about the so-called Imperial Guards. When it's time to kill, they won't show any mercy. Anyway, the order from above is that Lin Ping can't die, not Xia Linglong.

Just as the dagger was less than an inch from Xia Linglong's chest, Lin Ping suddenly activated his X-ray vision to its maximum, staring directly into the black-clad man's eyes.

He had already tested it; the reason his eyes could see through things was because they emitted X-rays.

If this light has sufficient energy, it can have a certain impact on the human brain.

The other party inexplicably felt a sense of terror, and his head also became a little dizzy, causing the dagger to deviate slightly from its original direction.

Xia Linglong reacted quickly, forcefully pulling her body back, and the dagger just happened to cut the thick rope in front of her chest.

Xia Linglong was bound by a rope, which would loosen as soon as a gap appeared. Xia Linglong used all her strength to break free of the rope and mercilessly slit the throat of her opponent with her embroidered spring knife.

Just as the person lying on the ground was rolling around, the blade pierced through his back, and he died in a pool of blood, terrified.

"You scoundrel, I'm going to kill you!" After dealing with the two men in black, Xia Linglong turned her attention to Lin Ping.

"Oh no!" Lin Ping panicked, his whole body was covered in cold sweat, it seemed he had crossed the other party's bottom line.

Suddenly, Lin Ping burst into loud laughter: "Hahaha! Come on, kill me! If killing me will complete the mission, then don't hold back!"

This roar brought Xia Linglong back to her senses slightly, but she didn't move the embroidered spring knife that was pressed against Lin Ping's throat.

Lin Ping felt the coldness of the blade with every swallow. He was afraid that Xia Linglong would kill him in a fit of anger, so he hurriedly said, "It's ridiculous, pathetic, and lamentable! I thought the Embroidered Uniform Guards were cold-blooded monsters who would do anything to complete their missions, but I never expected that Captain Xia would almost kill the key figure in this mission because of her anger."

In order to save his life, Lin Ping continued,

"Do you think killing me will complete the mission? I'm afraid it's quite the opposite. If I die, how could my wife let you Imperial Guards off the hook? You won't even have a chance to establish yourselves in Jiangcheng Prefecture, let alone carry out missions!"

Lin Ping puffed out his chest, his words becoming increasingly sharp: "For this mission, Captain Xia was willing to disguise herself as a man and even went to a filthy place like Tiger Head Prison to carry straw. Now she has disregarded her status and entered Xiaoxiang Courtyard. Does she want to fail at the last hurdle?"

Xia Linglong's heart tightened, as if Lin Ping had seen through her thoughts.

As Lin Ping said, she had sacrificed too much to complete this mission and should not let a moment of anger ruin everything.

Although Lin Ping wasn't directly involved in this mission, Xia Linglong knew that Jiang Yunying would openly oppose the Embroidered Uniform Guard for his sake.

At this moment, Xia Linglong almost burst into tears of grievance. The lecherous man who had humiliated her was right in front of her, yet she couldn't do anything to him.

"Ah!" Xia Linglong danced with her sword close to Lin Ping's body, each strike hitting its mark.

Lin Ping knew this was the other party's way of venting their anger. He didn't feel any physical pain; instead, a more terrifying thought surfaced in his mind: "Won't they only leave him with his underwear...?"

As the knife flourish ended, a cracking sound came from Lin Ping's body, and the more than ten-meter-long rope broke into a one-inch-long piece.

"Thank God..." Lin Ping patted his chest with both hands, thankful that his clothes were not torn, otherwise his restless eighth brother might have once again provoked Xia Linglong's murderous intent.

"Hmph, it must be that Lu Hongling who's behind this!" Xia Linglong snorted coldly, picked up her embroidered spring knife, and walked out, clearly believing that Lu Hongling had knocked her unconscious from behind.

"Are all women so single-minded?" Lin Ping shook his head helplessly, naturally thinking of Jiang Yunying's current behavior, and was really worried for Lu Hongling.

Lin Ping had already determined through his X-ray vision that Lu Hongling was not an accomplice of the men in black, but he had no evidence to prove that she was innocent.

"Pretty girls can't be too bad-hearted, right..." Lin Ping scratched his head and muttered to himself, then thought of Xia Linglong's beautiful face and immediately shook his head, "Except for that tomboy..."

Xia Linglong was extremely fast; before Lin Ping could even rush out the gate, she had already killed two more enemies.

Outside the iron gate was a wide tunnel, lined with bricks and tiles, with an oil lamp lit every few meters, making it possible to see the road clearly.

Upon hearing the sounds of fighting, four more men in black rushed over and immediately unleashed their Lotus Sword Technique.

Xia Linglong was, after all, a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and her strength was considerable; ordinary lotus sword techniques had no effect on her.

"You're courting death!" Xia Linglong's eyes flashed, and the knife in her hand was even sharper than her enemy's.

In the blink of an eye, three rounds had passed, and the two sides were fighting fiercely. In the end, the man in black was stabbed through the chest by Xia Linglong.

"A lotus blooms!" Under the dark light, a silver light suddenly flashed, heading straight for Xia Linglong's back.

Xia Linglong's feet were flat on the ground, and her body was leaning back, giving her a touch of the graceful posture of a drunken concubine.

The newcomer was dressed in white, with a veil covering his face, and his long sword grazed Xia Linglong's cheek.

The white-clad woman was somewhat surprised by her failed attack. She blinked a few times with her cold eyes, and then her entire figure disappeared into the dim light.

Xia Linglong immediately became vigilant, holding her breath and listening intently to try and catch any trace of this person.

At that moment, Lin Ping rushed out of the secret room and saw Xia Linglong looking nervous.

"Not good!" Based on his instincts, Lin Ping guessed that Xia Linglong had encountered a master, and it was very likely the one who had knocked them unconscious.

Lin Ping immediately activated his X-ray vision and discovered a figure moving like lightning, constantly shifting around Xia Linglong. Lin Ping tried to make out the other person's appearance, but he couldn't catch a glimpse of them because they were moving too fast.

"Seeing flowers through the fog!" In the darkness, a white light suddenly appeared, directly facing Xia Linglong's chest.
