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

Clearly, Lin Ping didn't really want to kiss Jiang Yunying, but rather used the act of kissing to make her shy, thus accelerating her heartbeat and making the five pills gather together faster.

Even when the two were kissing, Lin Ping kept his eyes on Jiang Yunying's internal condition, rather than exchanging flirtatious glances with her.

When all five pills were gathered together, Lin Ping decisively ended the kiss and quickly blocked the pills' escape route with another silver needle he had prepared in his hand.

"Husband!" Jiang Yunying was so angry that her face turned red. If she weren't so weak, she would have definitely given Lin Ping a Black Tiger Heart-Piercing Strike.

Girls value their first kiss highly. You don't have to be romantic, but you must be serious. Lin Ping treated it with such a carefree attitude, so it's no wonder Jiang Yunying was angry.

"Wife, please bear with it." Lin Ping held a small knife in his hand and precisely cut a wound more than a centimeter long on Jiang Yunying's skin. Five pills of different colors bounced and rolled out.

Jiang Yunying let out a soft moan, but her complexion improved considerably as the water poison in her body quickly subsided.

"My lady, your poison has been cured," Lin Ping said boastfully, once again revealing his lecherous nature. "Could you... kiss me one more time?"

Jiang Yunying's face was beaming with a bright smile, her mouth forming an "O" shape, and she shouted with both hands and feet, "Get lost!"

What followed was a barrage of punches and kicks. Lin Ping's entire body was lifted into the air, directly rushing out of the ring of fire, and then crashing heavily to the ground. Even Lin Xiaomei didn't want to help him.

"You reap what you sow," Lin Xiaomei said, covering her face, and even cheered, "Sister-in-law, well done!"

Lin Xiaomei was relieved by Jiang Yunying's violence, and from then on, Lin Ping never dared to act tyrannically again.

"Husband, shall we do it again?" Jiang Yunying stood in front of Lin Ping with dark eyeliner, her gentle voice tinged with a cold laugh.

Lin Ping scrambled to the city lord's side in a panic and hurriedly asked, "May I ask, Father, how much silver do I still owe the city lord's mansion?"

The city lord did not understand his meaning and answered truthfully, "I still owe two hundred thousand taels."

At this moment, Lin Ping perked up and straightened his body, saying, "In other words, I have already repaid 800,000 taels. From now on, my wife's hands and feet belong to me."

Jiang Yunying "..."

She never expected Lin Ping to be so shameless, uttering such words openly just to avoid being beaten.

But she had no choice. 150,000 taels would qualify her to hold the left hand, while 800,000 taels could indeed buy both hands and feet.

Jiang Yunying smiled coldly, and a dagger appeared out of nowhere between her pearly teeth, suddenly appearing next to Lin Ping's throat, startling him.

Jiang Yunying was naturally reluctant to kill Lin Ping, but gave him a small warning. If there was even one part of her body that did not belong to Lin Ping, she could easily kill him.

"Ahem..." Xia Linglong coughed awkwardly twice. It wasn't that she couldn't stand the young couple's flirting, nor was she afraid of being fed dog food. She just wanted to find out about the Lotus Palace as soon as possible.

"Captain, you have a chicken feather stuck in your throat. I, Lin Ping, will definitely cut your throat and remove it for you. Don't worry, it won't hurt at all," Lin Ping said sarcastically, clearly not wanting to reveal the secret to the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Jiang Yunying glared at Lin Ping, then walked up to Xia Linglong with a smile and said softly, "My lord, please don't listen to his nonsense. Since my husband has made a promise, he will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

Next, everyone gathered together, and the main hall of the city lord's mansion became lively once again.

The city lord sat in the middle, while the others sat on either side.

The city lord had heard the gist of what happened tonight, and he was shocked beyond words. He hadn't expected that both the Lotus Palace and the Embroidered Uniform Guard would take action against the city lord's mansion. It seemed that things were indeed in turmoil.

"Ying'er, tell me everything you know," the city lord said seriously. This was the first time he wanted to hear about Jiang Yunying's experiences over the years.

Jiang Yunying understood her father's meaning and briefly recounted her experiences over the years, deliberately avoiding mentioning the hardships she had endured.

After Jiang Yunying explained it to everyone, they realized that the Lotus Palace used insidious methods to control each disciple through lotus poison.

Furthermore, before Jiang Yunying left, the Palace Master of Lotus Palace made an unreasonable demand, wanting to use Jiang Yunying's relationship to gain control of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Damn Lotus Palace!" The city lord shattered the eight-immortal table with a single palm strike, glaring angrily at Jiang Yunyu.

The chubby boy was so frightened that he lay under the table with an innocent look on his face. However, he was not innocent. If it weren't for assisting the prince, Jiang Yunying would not have had to go to the Lotus Palace and suffer so many grievances.

"Little sister, tell me everything you know," Lin Ping said seriously, giving Lin Xiaomei a chance to reform herself.

He was Lin Xiaomei's brother, and he would forgive her no matter how big a mistake she made. But the city lord's mansion didn't need to do that; they only didn't arrest her because of Lin Ping's reputation.

Lin Xiaomei understood Lin Ping's meaning and told him everything she knew. Her experience was roughly the same as Jiang Yunying's, except that Jiang Yunying went to the Lotus Palace headquarters, while Lin Xiaomei went to the Jiang Zhongtang branch.

To avoid worrying Lin Ping, Lin Xiaomei didn't emphasize the hardships she endured. Instead, she said something even more shocking: "Before I went down the mountain, the first order I received was to capture my sister-in-law and then take control of the city lord's mansion. Furthermore... the Lotus Palace's goal is to control all six city lords, thereby posing a threat to the imperial court."

"Damn it!" This time it was Xia Linglong's turn to be angry, but she didn't smash the table. Otherwise, Lin Ping would definitely have... extorted money from her.

In fact, Lin Ping had long guessed that this would be the case, and he also guessed Xia Linglong's purpose. Now that it had finally been confirmed, he said sarcastically, "It seems that the Captain has come for this very reason."

"Is the Prefect also connected with the Lotus Palace?" Xia Linglong asked hurriedly.

Lin Xiaomei nodded, naturally not denying it. One of the tasks she received was to cooperate with the prefect.

"Damn it, I'm going to send that bastard to the imperial prison right now!" Xia Linglong said through gritted teeth.

Regarding Xia Linglong's impulsiveness, Lin Ping sighed helplessly, "Women really are all brainless..."

"I know that you, Captain, have the right to act first and report later, but are you confident that you can defeat the experts of Lotus Palace?" Lin Ping asked coldly.

Now that Lotus Palace has allied with the Prefect, they will surely protect his safety. Xia Linglong couldn't even defeat Lin Xiaomei alone, let alone the more powerful experts.

"We can't just stand by and watch the prefect harm the court." Xia Linglong calmed down a little, but she was still a bit impatient.

"What a coincidence! I, Lin Ping, enjoy fishing. Since they want to unite the six city lords, I'll let out a longer line and let the big fish bite!" Lin Ping smiled coldly, naturally not intending to attack Lotus Palace immediately.

We're just waiting for the day when we can wipe them all out.
