Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

It's unreasonable for a maid to be able to overpower a renowned expert like Zuo Tianlong.

But Lin Ruoxue's maid could do it, which everyone thought was perfectly reasonable!

A hint of complexity flickered in Yue Ran's eyes, but she said nothing, only asking with concern, "Young Master, are you alright?"

"I'm fine..."

Li Lan turned to Zhao Tanyue and said, "Lord Zhao, this man attacked an official of the imperial court in the street. Please report this to the emperor."

Zhao Tanyue nodded: "The Taiyi Sect deserves an explanation."

Li Lan cupped his hands in greeting, then turned back into the carriage and said, "Let's go, to Ning'an."

Liu Ziwen and his entourage then tidied up their carriages and ceremonial guards and continued their journey.

……

And in a restaurant.

"He dared to kill my people! He dared to kill my people!!"

At this moment, Li Guan was inexplicably trembling.

A chill ran through his entire body.

Because, after Zuo Tianlong was shot and killed, he clearly saw Lin Zheng in the distance draw his bow across the empty air towards him!

There were no arrows, but he could still feel the killing intent emanating from the general in the army.

It was as if Lin Zheng would shoot Li Lan directly if he died!

Lin Zheng is not only a general who protects the country, but also a top-notch martial artist. Moreover, he has always been regarded as a top expert in the capital. No one has ever dared to underestimate the killing skills he honed in the army!

Beside him, Mr. Zhu watched Li Lan get into the car and leave. For some reason, he felt a strange sense of relief, as if he didn't want to see Li Lan die, but he also felt regret and remorse for not killing such a formidable opponent.

"Your Highness, the most urgent task is to take this opportunity to win over the hearts of the heroes."

Mr. Zhu said, "All the major sects are dependent on you. No matter what Li Yue and Li Lan do, they can't escape your grasp. As for Lin Zheng... killing him is only a matter of time."

……

And the Lin family mansion.

"You can only help him this once."

Outside, the winds of war raged, but inside the mansion, Lin Ruoxue was playing the zither. Her music was ethereal and otherworldly, unlike any melody found in the mortal world.

When Lin Ruobing returned, she heard her sister's words and couldn't help but say, "The Qingyun Fruit you used back then was bought for you by him! This is you repaying his favor, it has nothing to do with me."

"Also, he killed Zuo Tianlong."

She ground her little tiger teeth:

"Last time, he and I joined forces and barely managed to hold off Zuo Tianlong, but in just a few days, he has already defeated him... Sis, aren't you scared? In a few days, he might be able to beat you up and make your butt bleed!"

The two sisters never held back when they spoke.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruoxue's hand suddenly jerked, and the strings on her zither snapped. She stared at Lin Ruobing instantly and said, "He...hit you...on the buttocks???"

Lin Ruobing's face immediately turned red: "How could that be! I'd beat him half to death!!"

……

"Your Majesty, Li Lan and the First Prince have safely left the capital."

Late at night, in the Golden Palace, the eunuch Dou from the Directorate of Ceremonial entered and said:

"Lin Ruoxue finally spoke up."

Emperor Xianxian was reviewing the magical arts passed down by the immortals on the Mountain of Seeking the Dao when he slightly raised his eyes and said:

"This Lin Ruoxue has truly exceeded my expectations."

"If I hadn't already obtained immortal techniques and had the potential to attain immortality, I'm afraid I would have really had to put in a lot of effort on her!"

The combination of the General Who Protects the Nation and the Grandmaster of Martial Arts is enough to pose a threat to this empire.

But it doesn't matter now. Once the path to immortality opens, he will abandon the entire empire and leave, so there's no need to suffer through power struggles and manipulate the throne anymore.

"Lin Zheng killed Zuo Tianlong, and I'm afraid the Taiyi Sect won't be too happy about it."

"Eunuch Dou said again."

"Ah."

The Emperor Xianxian did not care, but said:

How many spiritual creatures are still in the palace?

Eunuch Dou said, "Not much left. The last time we went to the mountain to seek the Dao, we expended too much energy."

"Go buy it right now!"

Emperor Xianxian said, "These Qi Refining methods all require spiritual energy from Qingyun Fruit, White Bone Flower, and other plants, which consumes a great deal of energy. In my opinion, just to refine the first level of Qi Refining, it would probably require about ten catties!"

Although he was a king, he was also a man of great talent. He had been studying diligently for the past few days and had already come up with some ideas.

"Your Majesty, the court and the people have been searching the land for supplies to prepare for the grand celebration of Qingtian. Now the national treasury is empty, and it is extremely difficult to purchase more. This product is mostly produced in the Northern Hu Plain, and the trade routes in the northwest are blocked by rebels..."
