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

The next morning, Lin Ping arrived at Lin Xiaomei's room and was delighted to find that the five pills inside her body had gathered together. He then quickly used a knife to cut open her blood vessels, thus detoxifying Lin Xiaomei.

From then on, Lin Xiaomei was no longer coerced by the Lotus Palace and could use her martial arts skills to protect Lin Ping, which was also her original intention in entering the Lotus Palace.

"Brother, Captain Xia seems to have feelings for you..." Lin Xiaomei suddenly said.

In recent days, whenever Lin Ping and Xia Linglong are together, Lin Xiaomei will appear, which can give some clues.

Previously, Lin Ping and Xia Linglong were trapped in an underground cage. Although Lin Xiaomei would not harm Lin Ping, Xia Linglong still risked her life to carry him out.

Women always understand women better than men. There are some things Lin Xiaomei can't say in front of Jiang Yunying, but that doesn't mean she won't say them.

"That tomboy must hate me."

Lin Ping replied irritably, his mind filled with images of Xia Linglong's violence.

Lin Xiaomei didn't say much, after all, saying too much would be bad for Jiang Yunying. She hoped to see Lin Ping and Jiang Yunying live happily ever after.

Next, Lin Ping stopped Lin Xiaomei's bleeding and applied a simple bandage, leaving almost no scar.

Lin Xiaomei did not stay in the city lord's mansion for long. She needed to apologize to her parents, since she had been away from home for several days.

Thinking about the punishment she would face, Lin Xiaomei couldn't help but frown. She wasn't as favored as Lin Ping, and she could be punished even if she didn't make any mistakes, let alone such a fundamental error.

She initially wanted Lin Ping to come back with her, but then felt she should be punished, so she said a simple goodbye to her brother and sister-in-law and left resolutely.

"Husband, it's already past 9 AM. Don't you really intend to go see Commandant Xia?" Jiang Yunying said seriously, with no intention of trying to trick Lin Ping.

"I won't go!" Lin Ping said firmly. "That tomboy isn't even a tenth as pretty as my wife. Why should I go see her?"

In Lin Ping's view, this was a test of his survival instinct. Known for his tricks, how could he be outsmarted by Jiang Yunying?

Lin Ping's words were not true. He had seen Xia Linglong dressed as a woman, and she was even more beautiful than Jiang Yunying.

However, Lin Ping had principles. No matter how beautiful other women were, he would only appreciate them as scenery. Jiang Yunying had already filled his heart, and there was no room for a second person.

Jiang Yunying shook her head helplessly and said softly, "I'm going to the military camp. If my husband changes his mind, he can go see Captain Xia at any time. I will not be angry."

"I don't believe you for a second. You're a wicked beauty," Lin Ping thought to himself, naturally not believing Jiang Yunying's words.

He had intended to go to the military camp as well, but Jiang Yunying was so fast that she didn't give him any time to react.

"Another boring day is about to begin..." Lin Ping looked up at the sky and roared, always feeling that a day without his wife was a soulless day.

……

Inside the Jinyiwei Inn, Xia Linglong, dressed in a crimson silk dress, with her hair styled in a bun and even adorned with rouge and powder, paced anxiously back and forth.

"Lin Ping, you'd better not regret this!" Despite her beautiful women's attire, Xia Linglong couldn't hide her masculine spirit. She punched a pillar so hard that it almost caused the entire roof beam to collapse.

"My lord, the one from Yingtian Prefecture is about to arrive. Would you like to go out of the city to greet him?" A Jinyiwei guard, also dressed in a flying fish robe, knelt on the ground and pleaded.

"I'm not going!" Xia Linglong pouted and replied sharply.

"This...it seems..." the person kneeling on the ground said helplessly, afraid of messing things up.

"Didn't you hear my order? Go and bring Lin Ping to me immediately, dead or alive!" Xia Linglong said angrily, completely losing her composure.

The other party had no choice but to retreat, and could only wait for the arrival of the person from Yingtian Prefecture. He couldn't just barge into the city lord's mansion like a fool and drag Lin Ping out, could he? He didn't think he could beat Jiang Yunying.

Furthermore, if I were to get involved in this matter, who knows how furious that person in Yingtian Prefecture would be.

To avoid Xia Linglong's orders, dozens of Imperial Guards kept their distance, hoping to protect her safety in secret.

"Sigh... Bored, so boring." Feeling utterly bored, Lin Ping suddenly felt that life had lost its meaning. He lay on the bed with his legs in the air, not wanting to move at all.

In fact, Lin Ping has many things he can do, such as disciplining his adorable disciple, beating up the chubby boy, or even making some small inventions.

For example, there's checkers for two people, Dou Dizhu for three people, mahjong for four people, Three Kingdoms Kill for five people, murder mystery game for six people, and Werewolf for seven or more people. In short, all sorts of entertainment games can be invented.

However, he wasn't in the mood for it. Rather than being bored, he was more restless, tossing and turning in bed.

Clearly, he was struggling with whether or not to say goodbye to Xia Linglong. Although Lin Ping had a sharp tongue, he had a soft heart, and images of being with Xia Linglong kept flashing through his mind.

This wasn't because he missed her, but because he couldn't understand why Xia Linglong would say such unbecoming things, as if she had completely changed.

"Oh no, that tomboy is in danger!" Lin Ping sat up abruptly in bed, suddenly realizing Xia Linglong's unusual behavior.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Lin Ping dashed out of the city lord's mansion without even taking a single attendant with him.

Before leaving the city, Lin Ping borrowed a fine horse from the private army and galloped towards the inner city. Because Lin Ping's horsemanship was limited, only at the level of being able to ride, he could only lie flat on the horse's back with his hands tightly gripping the horse's mane.

After a bumpy journey, Lin Ping finally entered the inner city. Relying on his memory, he ventured into the hidden alleys and finally appeared at the entrance of the Embroidered Uniform Guard Inn.

Just as he reached the finish line, Lin Ping tumbled off his horse with a thud, his body nearly falling apart. Moreover, he could no longer suppress the churning in his stomach and vomited up all the food he had eaten two days ago.

"With your skills, you dare to try riding a horse?" Xia Linglong bent down and looked at Lin Ping lying on the ground, her words both teasing and touching.

Although Lin Ping arrived late, he did arrive eventually.

After vomiting up the acid in his stomach, Lin Ping looked up at Xia Linglong and was immediately stunned by her stunning appearance. He stared at her for several seconds before casually asking, "A woman dresses up for the one she loves. Could it be that Commander Xia likes me?"

Xia Linglong glared at Lin Ping with annoyance, but still helped him dust off the dust.

This considerate gesture startled Lin Ping, who involuntarily took a few steps back, crossing his arms over his chest defensively, and said, "What do you want to do? I'm a respectable man."

"A guy who has the desire to steal but not the guts." Xia Linglong gave Lin Ping a disdainful look.

Lin Ping didn't like hearing that and immediately retorted, "I'm not someone who has the desire but not the courage."

"What is that?" Xia Linglong asked in return.

"I don't even have the thought of stealing." Lin Ping chuckled, instantly revealing his loser nature.
