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

Lin Ping knew the other party's character well, so he simply played along and even offered to go to the Su family's ancestral home.

After the two entered, Lin Ping activated his right eye again and indeed found Zhang Hongyuan with dozens of men lying in ambush outside the courtyard wall.

So, following Su Lianlian's wishes, a play was staged, which indeed forced Xia Linglong to show herself.

This time, Zhang Hongyuan not only failed to catch Lin Ping, but also gained an unexpected green halo, making him so angry that he could only vent his anger on Su Lianlian.

At the same time, he has blocked Xia Linglong and even come up with insidious methods.

"Xia Linglong, you just wait!"

A fierce killing intent flashed in Zhang Hongyuan's eyes.

At this moment, Lin Ping followed Xia Linglong around like a puppy. Whenever she looked at him with disdain, he would chuckle and even shamelessly ask, "Captain, where are you taking me?"

"I'm helpless too. I don't know where you're going with me." Xia Linglong regretted saving Lin Ping. She should have pretended not to see anything and let Lin Ping be taken away by Zhang Hongyuan.

So, he simply and loudly uttered a single word: "Get out!"

This character was no ordinary word; it was not only powerful and resonant but also carried a sweet liquid, which landed perfectly on Lin Ping's face.

For a moment, Lin Ping seemed to understand the meaning of "shrew"—it meant she used her mouth to spew insults…

"If you're going to help someone, you should see it through to the end. Captain, you can't just abandon me. What if those men in black show up?"

Lin Ping pouted and began a shameless conversation.

This tactic had always worked on Xia Linglong. Although she wished Lin Ping were dead, she also wanted to leave a good impression on the City Lord's Mansion for future investigations. So she could only reluctantly say, "I'll take you back now."

There's a shameless tactic called "You're too late," because the other person has changed their mind!

"No way!" Lin Ping turned his head and answered decisively, "If I go back now, my wife will skin me alive."

What does it matter to me if Jiang Yunying skins you alive? Can't you, a grown man, have some shame? Stop clinging to me, a young woman, and won't let me go?

Xia Linglong stared helplessly at Lin Ping, let out a sigh, and said in a low voice, "Fine, I give up. Come back to the inn with me first!"

After several encounters, how could Xia Linglong not know Lin Ping's personality?

He has never changed any decision he has made.

If we don't bring him back to the inn, who knows what kind of amazing things this guy might do.

It wouldn't be surprising if someone openly shouted in the street that they had been forced into something, so Xia Linglong was completely helpless.

Besides, she also wanted to know what Lin Ping was up to and why he insisted on going to her place.

You can't bully me.

Lin Ping muttered something under his breath, but made a move to set off immediately.

Let alone in broad daylight, even in the dead of night, Lin Ping would not be afraid of the men in black hiding in the shadows. He made such an unreasonable request purely to find out about the Jinyiwei.

He thought Xia Linglong would leave after Zhang Hongyuan's engagement banquet, but he didn't expect her to stay and even secretly follow him. Clearly, she had a secret about the City Lord's Mansion.

Since the other party dared to openly follow him, Lin Ping decided to infiltrate the Embroidered Uniform Guard openly and legitimately.

He was certain that Xia Linglong wouldn't lay a finger on him.

"Sir, has Wu Dongxi really been imprisoned? Sir, why were you following the people from the City Lord's Mansion? Sir..."

And so, Lin Ping kept asking questions all the way, without any attempt to avoid the many sensitive issues.

Xia Linglong was speechless. She suddenly felt that she had wasted the past ten years. If Lin Ping was not too smart, he was a complete idiot.

He seems to have a somewhat biased understanding of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Could it be that his Embroidered Spring Blade is not sharp enough?

Or perhaps you, Lin Ping, have too thick skin!

Xia Linglong really wanted to stuff a cucumber into Lin Ping's mouth, but she was afraid that his throat was too deep and he would swallow it whole.

The once composed and steady Imperial Guard captain actually resorted to childish methods to retaliate against Lin Ping, sending him on a rollercoaster ride, crashing heavily to the ground every time he was in mid-air.

"No, stop!" Lin Ping was dizzy, seeing stars, and his stomach was churning violently. He shouted weakly.

"Don't stop?"

Xia Linglong was somewhat puzzled, thinking that Lin Ping had masochistic tendencies, so she could only increase the frequency of her jumping around.

"You'll regret this..." Lin Ping swallowed hard, his mouthful of saliva mixed with food, and gave Xia Linglong an ultimatum.

Xia Linglong has a stubborn temper, and Lin Ping's threat had the opposite effect. The roller coaster finally reached its most thrilling and exciting part, jumping up and down and even doing the Thomas spin.

Lin Ping's stomach was churning violently, and he couldn't swallow the food in his mouth in time, so he spat it all over Xia Linglong.

Bangdang...

The two, who were in mid-air, crashed to the ground together. Xia Linglong stared at Lin Ping with a dazed look, her eyes burning with anger, thinking to herself: Are you a devil?

"Ah!" With a sharp cry, Lin Ping's body was immediately hit, and a torrential downpour fell on his chest.

At this moment, Lin Ping understood. It turned out that not only Jiang Yunying used a fighting technique, but Xia Linglong was no exception. Perhaps this was a unique custom in the Wu Kingdom.

Every pretty girl should have her own set of self-defense techniques.

In an instant, Lin Ping was beaten into a pig's head, mumbling something incoherently, probably trying to express: I have no choice, you forced me into this.

Even if it's a pig's head I beat myself up, I'll drag it home with tears in my eyes...

Xia Linglong grabbed Lin Ping by the collar and half-dragged him into an extremely secluded inn.

Even though Lin Ping had lived here for nearly twenty years, he was certain he had never been here, which fully demonstrates the secrecy of the Embroidered Uniform Guard's operations.

Besides Xia Linglong, there were more than ten Imperial Guards in the inn, but not a single ordinary guest. This shows that the inn was just a front for publicity.

Xia Linglong simply left Lin Ping in the middle of the hall and hurriedly went back to her room to bathe and change.

"Xia Linglong, you just wait, my wife will beat you up!"

Lin Ping, whose head resembled a pig's, was still slurring his words, regretting that he hadn't swallowed the food.

Before long, several Imperial Guards came over to watch, all pointing and whispering about Lin Ping, some even secretly smiling, clearly mocking him.

Lin Ping wished he could disappear into a deep crack in the ground; he had never had such an embarrassing experience before.

After lying down for a full hour, Xia Linglong reappeared in front of Lin Ping with her hair down.

"Heh...woman!"

Lin Ping chuckled dismissively, clearly admiring the speed with which the woman bathed and changed.

"Young Master Lin, are you lying down comfortably?" Xia Linglong laughed out loud at Lin Ping's disheveled appearance.

Lin Ping was about to look up and retort when he noticed that Xia Linglong was wearing a light blue wide-sleeved ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), her dark hair cascading down, and her face appearing even whiter and smoother.

"Women's attire!" Lin Ping swallowed hard again. Although he knew Xia Linglong wasn't ugly, he hadn't expected her to be so stunning. She was just as beautiful as Jiang Yunying, and even had a more androgynous charm.

"Come on, ravage me, trample me, whip me!" Lin Ping said these shameless words without thinking.
