Gong Shangjiao felt a fragrant aroma waft towards him, followed by a sensation on his temples, and his body gradually relaxed.

After resting with my eyes closed for a while, my expression gradually calmed down and I felt comfortable.

After a while, Gong Shangjiao opened his eyes, took her hands in his, and looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

As the two stood and sat, their gazes met, and the atmosphere in the room began to warm up.

Gong Shangjiao slightly raised his head and looked at the person in front of him.

Her hair was like a waterfall, jet black and glossy, gently falling over her shoulders, and her figure was as light and graceful as a willow.

She has a beautiful face with perfectly proportioned features, and exudes an air of untainted elegance.

Gong Shangjiao gently pulled her hand, and Shangguan Qian leaned against him.

Miyazaki probably forgot that he was sitting, and pulling the person over like this made his face look a little awkward.

After realizing what was happening, she immediately picked him up and sat him on her lap, Shangguan Qian hugging him with a smile on her face.

Gong Shangjiao looked at her for a while, then lowered his head slightly and kissed her lips. The two gradually became entwined.

The two figures, intimately reflected in the window, separated after a while.

Gong Shangjiao's voice was slightly hoarse: "At first, I proposed a fake marriage because I was afraid you would refuse a real one. I truly want to marry you; I have long been in love with you."

Shangguan Qian, panting, said, "We've managed to pass for the real thing."

Gong Shangjiao hugged her tightly: "Having you is enough."

The two hugged each other quietly.

After listening to Shangguan Qian, Gong Shangjiao paid close attention to Gong Huanyu and Lady Wuji.

Upon discovering that they were indeed up to something, Gong Huanyu wanted to kill Zhiren, and Lady Wuji was threatened and lured into becoming his accomplice.

Once Gong Shangjiao found the evidence, he told Zhiren the truth, and then left it to Zhiren to decide how to handle it.

Through several incidents, Miyazaki discovered that Shigehime was indecisive, and disapproving of this, Miyazaki decided to ignore him.

She wasn't so worried about the palace gates anymore. After all, there were so many people there, and she had to take care of them all herself. She was too busy, and others didn't understand.

As long as it doesn't threaten the safety of the palace, it's just a minor skirmish for now. We also know that Gong Huanyu's goal is to eliminate Wufeng, but his methods are extreme.

In the end, Gong Huanyu was imprisoned, and Lady Wuji's martial arts were crippled and she was confined to her quarters, never to leave Yu Palace again.

Based on the information obtained from interrogating Wu Feng and his assassins, Yun Weishan was instructed to return and deliver a message, intending to lure Wu Feng in to resolve the situation completely.

Those who refuse to confess are dealt with directly; no one will show leniency towards those who lack integrity.

Shangguan Qian also informed Yunshang, instructing her to lead some men to guard the outside of Jiuchen Valley and coordinate with the palace gates to wipe out Wufeng's men in one fell swoop.

Gong Shangjiao, Gong Yuanzheng, and Shangguan Qian sat together discussing matters, waiting for Wufeng to arrive.

"Is everything ready?" asked Miyazaki.

Shangguan Qian: "Yes, after that, the people from the Qingyun Sect followed Wufeng and the others into the palace gate, and we attacked them from both sides."

Gong Yuanzheng exclaimed excitedly, "This time, we can finally get our revenge!"

Gong Shangjiao also hoped to resolve the matter as soon as possible: "You all need to be careful. The people who came that day were all experts without sharp edges."

Gong Yuanzheng: "Don't worry, brother."

Shangguan Qian: "Don't worry."

Gong Shangjiao felt a little relieved knowing that one of them used poison and the other was even more skilled in martial arts than him.

The palace gates were placed under full curfew, and no one was allowed to move around freely. Those without defensive capabilities were forced to hide in secret passages.

Once everything was ready, Shangguan Qian and the other two in the Corner Palace heard the sounds gradually approaching.

The three exchanged a glance, knowing that Wu Feng had arrived.

Gong Shangjiao remained calm, revealing nothing, and sipped his tea.

Gong Yuanzheng's lips curled up, his expression sickly and delicate, making him look like a little pervert.

Shangguan Qian sat lazily, idly playing with a small tuft of hair.

Xiao Qi lay lazily at her feet, both of them looking equally relaxed.

The three sat calmly until they heard a noise outside the door.

Gong Shangjiao stood up with a serious expression: "Here they come." After saying that, he picked up a weapon from the side and went out.

Gong Yuanzheng followed closely behind, while Shangguan Qian slowly picked up Xiao Qi and followed.

"Xiao Qi, have the two demons arrived?"

"They've arrived and gone to the back mountain."

Shangguan Qian: "After we finish dealing with this, we'll go check on things later."

Yunshang also had a map of the palace gates, so Shangguan Qian wasn't worried that they wouldn't be able to find a place to help.

Upon reaching the door, they saw the man confronting the two brothers, the Northern Demon in Cold Clothes, who was also their enemy.

Gong Shangjiao's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "It's you."

Han Yi Ke: "Ten years ago, I couldn't reunite you with your family. I imagine that child is still waiting for you down there. He must be so lonely. Don't keep him waiting too long."

Gong Yuanzheng made the first move, but his knife was attracted to the cold-clothed man's weapon: "Why?"

Gong Shangjiao: "His weapon contains meteorite iron that can absorb hidden weapons and blades. Be careful."

After saying that, they drew their swords and the three of them clashed.

Shangguan Qian leaned against the door watching them. Xiao Qi said, "Host, the second male lead is obviously being suppressed here. In order to highlight the protagonist's halo, the highly skilled Gong Shangjiao is actually no match for Han Yi Ke."

Shangguan Qian's eyes held an ambiguous expression: "Hmm."

Just as Han Yike was about to injure Gong Shangjiao, Shangguan Qian made her move.

In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Gong Shangjiao, blocking the attack from the man in cold clothes.

The man in cold clothes looked at her and said, "You must be Gong Shangjiao's wife. I didn't expect you to be a highly skilled martial artist as well."

Shangguan Qian: "Enough with the nonsense." She then took action.

A surge of powerful internal energy rushed towards the man in cold clothes. He tried to defend himself, but found he was no match for him. He was thrown away, coughed up blood, and collapsed to the ground. Shangguan Qian took Gong Shangjiao's sword and swung it directly at the man in cold clothes, piercing his heart.

The man in cold clothes slowly lost his breath.

Shangguan Qian tested her internal energy and found that her cultivation was still more powerful; a single move could kill, while internal energy left a person still breathing.

Gong Shangjiao stepped forward and held her shoulder: "Are you alright?"

Shangguan smiled faintly: "It's nothing."

Gong Yuanzheng also ran over, his eyes filled with admiration: "Sister-in-law, you're so amazing!"

Shangguan Qian smiled slightly: "Yuanzheng is also very capable."

Seeing that the two of them were still praising each other, Gong Shangjiao felt relieved and smiled slightly.

Having dealt with my enemy, my mood brightened considerably.

Gong Shangjiao: "I'm going to help out in other places. Do you two want to come along?"

Gong Yuanzheng: "I want to go."

Shangguan Qian: "I heard that two assassins of the Liang rank have arrived. I'll go and see them too."

Gong Shangjiao's expression turned somewhat grave: "Then let's go quickly."

When the three people and one cat arrived at the back mountain, they saw Xue Chongzi, Elder Xue, fighting with Erliang.

Xue Gongzi and Han Yaqi were fighting on the side, while Han Yayi led a team to Yu Palace on the other side.

Dongfang Zhiwang Beixu led his men to the Flower Palace and the Moon Palace.

With Yunshang and her men helping out, Shangguan Qian wasn't worried.

The two were highly skilled in martial arts, and Xue Chongzi and Elder Xue gradually lost ground.

Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng went up to help.

Shangguan Qian: "Han Yaqi".

Hearing the sound, Han Yaqi turned around and glanced at Shangguan Qian, understanding her meaning, and threw Xue Gongzi away and stopped.

Shangguan Qian: "You should leave. Wufeng is doomed to lose."

Han Yaqi glanced at the scene, hesitated for a moment, then said, "Thank you," and left.

Seeing that the two demons were still not dealt with, Shangguan Qian took out a sword and teleported into one of them. She was so fast that others didn't even see her before she took one down.
