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

"Husband, run!" Jiang Yunying said anxiously, choosing to meet Mo Youying's attack with her bare hands.

"Since you insist on courting death, then don't blame me for being impolite!" Mo Youying's eyes flashed with gloom as she pressed her longsword against Jiang Yunying's chest.

Although Jiang Yunying was taken into account in this plan, it would be of no use if she remained obstinate. It would be better to kill her as soon as possible to avoid affecting the overall situation.

Mo Youying had already activated her ultimate move, "Mirror Flower Water Moon," making her movements as unpredictable as a phantom. Even Jiang Yunying at her peak could only look up to her, let alone when she was unarmed.

A Lotus Palace disciple without weapons is not much different from a piece of trash.

"Be careful, my lady!" Lin Ping's right eye X-ray was turned on to the maximum, staring intently at Mo Youying's longsword, which was about to slit Jiang Yunying's chest.

In the face of death, Lin Ping even wanted to block the sword for his opponent, but unfortunately he didn't have the speed. Besides, after killing Jiang Yunying, his opponent would definitely come to kill him, so Lin Ping didn't need to rush to die.

Lin Ping was extremely annoyed. If he had known that Lotus Palace had a master like Mo Youying, he should have laid a trap and even moved all his private troops there, or lived in the military camp every day.

In short, it's too late for regrets now; the two of them are destined to be a doomed couple.

Thinking of this, Lin Ping sobbed a few times in grievance. Since transmigrating, he had been doing quite well, but in the end, he still couldn't lose his virginity.

If Lin Ping were given another chance, even at the risk of being beaten to death by Jiang Yunying, he should still visit her boudoir more often.

In his rage, Lin Ping's energy surged, and his two blood-red eyes were terrifying to behold.

"Mo Youying!" Every word Lin Ping uttered was chilling, his powerful aura overwhelming everyone present. Suddenly, he extended a finger and said sharply, "Can you let us go, or come back tomorrow? You are a top expert of Lotus Palace, how can you lower yourself to the level of a mere brat like me?"

Jiang Yunying had initially felt a glimmer of hope, but after hearing these words, she only wished to die quickly under the other party's sword, and did not want to lose face with him.

Even Mo Youying thought Lin Ping was hiding his true abilities, but who knew he would say such outrageous things? If he hadn't been so furious, she might have actually laughed out loud. This guy has such a good mentality.

Mo Youying answered Lin Ping's question with her actions, relentlessly advancing her longsword toward Jiang Yunying's chest.

"I would have no regrets about dying with my husband." Jiang Yunying turned to look at Lin Ping behind her and revealed a charming smile.

In life, we sleep together; in death, we are buried together. This is the most steadfast and unforgettable love, and Jiang Yunying is content.

Now, unable to save Lin Ping and finding it difficult to survive herself, Jiang Yunying gave up struggling, only wishing to die with Lin Ping.

"You audacious thief, how dare you harm my niece!" A cold voice echoed throughout the courtyard. It sounded no different from any other voice, yet it unsettled everyone.

Logically speaking, only Jiang Xiuwen should address Jiang Yunying as his niece, but this is clearly a woman's voice, not that of Jiang Xiuwen, that rough and uncultured man.

"Soul-capturing sound, it's actually the soul-capturing sound!" Mo Youying's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately became extremely panicked. The sword that was originally going to pierce Jiang Yunying's chest inexplicably changed direction.

"I am Mo Youying, the head of Jiangzhong Hall. I did not mean to disturb you, senior. Please forgive me." Mo Youying clasped her hands and replied respectfully, having no mind to deal with Jiang Yunying.

These words immediately startled Lin Ping.

He originally thought Jiang Yunying's martial arts were unmatched, but he never expected that Mo Youying's were far superior. Now, even he had to speak to her with utmost respect, which was enough to prove how terrifying her strength was.

"A mere hall master dares to harm my niece!" The cold, deep voice grew even louder, and Mo Youying instantly felt a splitting headache, unable to even lift her sword.

"You're just playing tricks! Show yourself if you dare!" One of the Lotus Palace disciples, unable to withstand the immense pressure, gripped his longsword and began to slash wildly.

stop!

A long sword gleaming with golden light descended from the sky, more dazzling than the stars in the heavens.

Before the shouting disciple could react, a large hole had already appeared in his throat, and crimson blood gushed out like a fountain. The golden longsword had actually changed its direction to meet the descending fairy.

Everyone's eyes followed the longsword and landed on the woman who was blocking out the moonlight. She wore a plain white fairy dress and jade-embroidered shoes. Her hair was styled in a simple bun with a jade hairpin in the center.

Her delicately powdered face bore a resemblance to Jiang Yunying's, but her dignified and elegant appearance suggested she was at least in her thirties.

The woman descended slowly, stepping on a golden sword, like a celestial maiden descending to earth.

"It's the Star Chasing Sword! Kneel down immediately!" Mo Youying was shocked and her knees buckled, causing her to kneel down in front of the woman.

The other Lotus Palace disciples were dumbfounded. They had never imagined that Mo Youying would kneel down one day. They hurriedly followed behind, none of them daring not to kneel.

"Your subordinate, Mo Youying, was ordered to capture Jiang Yunying. I had no intention of disturbing you, senior." Mo Youying shivered all over and dared not look up at the other party. She never expected that such a small operation would lead to her encountering a reclusive master from the Lotus Palace.

The Star Chasing Sword is one of the four great swords of the Lotus Palace, symbolizing not only status but also strength.

Since the owners of the Crimson Sun Sword and the Moon Chasing Sword disappeared without a trace, only two veteran masters remain in the Lotus Palace. The owner of the Illusionary Sky Sword has ascended to the position of Palace Master, while the owner of the Star Chasing Sword often goes into seclusion, only occasionally making an appearance to make his presence known.

Unexpectedly, this senior, who had disappeared for more than a year, reappeared in the city lord's mansion.

Recalling how this person addressed Jiang Yunying, Mo Youying broke out in a cold sweat, realizing that she might perish here today.

Even if the five members of Lotus Palace joined forces, they could not withstand even one of the opponent's hands.

There is a fundamental difference between the Four Great Swords and the Eight Lesser Swords. He had even heard rumors that these four had reached the Purple Lotus Realm, a height that he could never reach in his lifetime.

The soul-capturing sound and the ability to control a sword from a distance are the best proof of that.

"By order? By whose order?" This chilling voice left Mo Youying feeling utterly disheartened.

Looking across the entire Lotus Palace, only the Palace Master's status is above this person's, and Mo Youying really doesn't know how to continue this story.

Headquarters did say it wanted to control the city lord, but it didn't say it wanted to capture Jiang Yunying. Besides, the person who issued the order was not as prestigious as the other party.

"Such a powerful aura." Lin Ping felt a surge of panic, an inexplicable sense of crisis.

"I will spare your life for the sake of your dedication to the Lotus Palace. But if you do anything to harm the City Lord's Mansion again, you will die!" The man snorted coldly again.

"Thank you for sparing my life, senior." Mo Youying wasn't stupid, but she dared not issue a challenge. In her heart, she cursed the person who issued the mission from headquarters a thousand times over.

"Why didn't you say so earlier that the owner of the Star Chasing Sword is Jiang Yunying's aunt? Are you trying to kill me?" After thanking them, Mo Youying led several men in black and fled quickly, not daring to look back.

"Aunt, why are you back?" Jiang Yunying's respectful face showed little joy or sorrow; in fact, she even frowned.

The visitor was named Jiang Lanfeng, the city lord's elder sister and Jiang Yunying's aunt. She had been studying at the Lotus Palace since childhood and had made indelible contributions to the city lord's mansion. Now she lived in seclusion in the deep mountains and did not care about worldly affairs. Even Jiang Yunying, who was also in the Lotus Palace, rarely saw her.

"You've been down the mountain for a year, and your martial arts have stagnated. You must have neglected your training." Jiang Lanfeng was indeed unlike an ordinary aunt; she spoke to Jiang Yunying in a cold tone.

"I am incompetent and have failed your expectations," Jiang Yunying replied, bowing her head like a child who had made a mistake.

During that year, Jiang Yunying was so preoccupied with the City Lord's Mansion that she had no energy left for cultivation.

She didn't want to argue, because it would be useless; her aunt was very domineering.

"Hahaha, so it's my elder sister who's back. No wonder there was such a commotion in the backyard." The city lord rushed over upon hearing the commotion, grinning sheepishly. He also defended Jiang Yunying, saying, "Elder sister, please don't be angry. It's all my fault for dragging Yunying down this past year."

"Is this still my dignified father-in-law?" Lin Ping was embarrassed. He never expected that in front of Jiang Lanfeng, even the city lord would have to act like a child who had made a mistake.

In fact, it's not hard to understand; their relationship is similar to that of Jiang Yunying and Jiang Yunyu.

Jiang Lanfeng willingly joined the Lotus Palace for the development of the City Lord's Mansion, enduring countless hardships, and remains unmarried to this day.

Even the old city lord felt indebted to Jiang Xiuwu, let alone Jiang Xiuwu. Besides, Jiang Xiuwu's martial arts skills were so high that Jiang Xiuwu was no match for him.

"You didn't even notice the enemy entering the gate, and you couldn't even protect Yunying from danger. What kind of city lord are you? Yu'er can't be like you." Jiang Lanfeng gave him a stern lecture, showing no mercy to the city lord.

Jiang Yunyu was about to come out to pay his respects to his aunt when he heard these words and slunk away. He considered himself inferior to his father, and if Jiang Lanfeng found out, he would surely break both his legs.

Anyway, my aunt likes to live in seclusion, so she might not stay for more than a few days; she'll probably hide away first...

"Who is this kid?" Jiang Lanfeng's cold eyes suddenly shifted to Lin Ping, and he noticed that Lin Ping was holding Jiang Yunying's hand.

"I am Lin Ping, the husband of Yunying. I pay my respects to my aunt." Lin Ping immediately forced an unnatural smile.

For some reason, he didn't like his aunt, Jiang Yunying.

He's clearly in his forties, but looks like he's in his thirties. What else could he be but a monster?

"So you're the son-in-law?" Jiang Lanfeng asked in his unchanging tone, even colder than before.

Not long ago, she heard that the city lord's mansion had taken in a son-in-law, but she didn't take it to heart. After all, it was just to appease the powerful and wealthy. In any case, Jiang Yunying wouldn't really like him, and in time, the marriage would probably fall through.

"Indeed, I am your son-in-law." Lin Ping still had a smile on his face. He had never felt ashamed of being a son-in-law, but hearing Jiang Lanfeng say it in such a contemptuous tone made him feel quite uncomfortable.
