The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

"An injured woman? I don't know."

Jia Daoshi flatly refused.

At this moment, Murong Jiu hurriedly walked out, carrying a sword and a golden, club-like object. The man in black robes smiled slightly upon seeing this: "Sir, while I admire your talent, there are some things we need to clarify, otherwise—"

"Otherwise, what will you do!"

Di Qinglin reached out and took the longsword, stepped forward, and stood beside Jia Daoshi, saying...

Seeing Di Qinglin's reaction, the man in black robes remained calm and said indifferently, "Madam, why are you angry? I was merely inquiring about information from you, sir. I have no ill intentions and no intention of taking action. Furthermore, I think your actions are rather reckless. Sometimes, one should have self-awareness and not try to stop a chariot with one's bare hands."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black robes reached out and gently placed his hand on a rockery next to him.

Just like that, casually and easily, a wisp of black smoke rose from the stone!

When the man in black robes removed his hand, a black handprint appeared on the artificial rock!

"Crack!"

In the blink of an eye, the stone shattered into several pieces!

The whole process was very fast. The man in black robes broke the stone into pieces almost effortlessly, without even having to use his internal energy!

This shows that the opponent did not use their full strength in this move; it was probably only 20% or even 10% of their power!

Even Jia Daoshi was somewhat surprised by this move.

Although he could shatter a stone with a single palm strike, he couldn't do it with such ease!

As for Jia Hu, he could do it too, but it wouldn't be as easy as it was!

It should be noted that these artificial rocks are very dense and hard, making them extremely difficult to break.

"Qinglin, this brother has come to see your husband and me to build a relationship. Why be so tense? Let's talk things out." Jia Daoshi was truly enlightened this time. It turned out that there were indeed masters like Qiao Feng and Duan Yu in this world. He couldn't let his guard down!

The man in black robes was clearly very satisfied with Jia Daoshi's reaction, and immediately nodded and said, "So, sir, do you remember now?"

Jia Daoshi cursed inwardly, "This guy is really good at hiding his true intentions!"

A man who spends a fortune on the most beautiful courtesan in a brothel turns out to be such a master!

He felt that even if he used peacock feathers now, it wouldn't make much of a difference.

Moreover, since this guy is so good at disguising himself, he must be a gloomy person. I probably won't be able to handle him even if I just say a few words!

We need to come up with a story that's both true and false, one that he can't help but believe.

“I’ve remembered, and I can tell you in a bit. But you can’t lay a hand on me after I tell you!” Jia Daoshi said earnestly.

“Of course, to be honest, I would very much like to be friends with you, sir,” the man in black robes said.

“Alright, since that’s the case, I’ll be honest with you. About three or two nights ago, a female thief did break into the manor. I was drunk and wanted to go to the outhouse to relieve myself. She held a knife to my neck from behind and forced me to have someone buy her some medicine. She stayed at the manor that night, but disappeared early the next morning. We don’t know when she left,” Jia Daoshi said with a shrug.

"that's it?"

"Of course, that's how it is. I originally planned to resist, but that female thief was ruthless and cut a gash on my neck. In order not to anger her, I had no choice but to agree. You see, the cut on my neck is still there."

Jia Daoshi pulled his robe to the side, revealing a freshly scabbed wound on his neck.

The man in black robes glanced at it, frowned, and said, "Sure enough, this wound was caused by the Greedy Wolf Sword in her hand."

“Yes, that sword is very sharp, and you can tell it’s a fine sword, brother. Everything I’m saying is true. It’s all the truth, more real than pearls.” Jia Daoshi said sincerely.

Why did you say you didn't know just now?

"Just now, seeing how capable you were, I thought you were that woman's companion, coming back to make things difficult for us. If you were in her shoes, you wouldn't just say things like that, would you? Are you her companion or her enemy? Anyway, whatever your grudges are, don't drag us into it!" Jia Daoshi said warily.

"Alright, what I have to do with her is none of your business. Do you even know where that female thief went?"

The man in the black robe remained completely calm, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

"As I just said, she was nowhere to be seen when I woke up the next day. But I think she was seriously injured, and even if she took medicine, it will probably be tough for her."

The man in black robes nodded. He didn't ask anything more, but instead slowly turned and left, holding up his oil-paper umbrella.

Although their steps appeared slow, they had actually disappeared into the manor in just a few steps!

That movement technique is simply bizarre!

The snowflakes continued to fall slowly from the sky, quickly accumulating into a thin layer on the ground!

The spot where the man in black robes had just stood remained empty, as if even snowflakes couldn't stand on it; as soon as they landed, they melted into water!

Di Qinglin raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead: "This person is a master. I wonder if he will turn back."

Jia Daoshi comforted him, saying, "A master like him must be extremely arrogant and proud. Now that he has left, he probably won't come back."

"but……"

"But what?" Di Qinglin asked, puzzled.

"This man must die!" A faint killing intent flashed in Jia Daoshi's eyes.

“His martial arts skills are very high, and you are no match for him now.” Di Qinglin frowned and said, “Even if we add me, Jia Hu, and your hidden weapons, we probably still won’t be able to defeat him.”

"Based on my estimation, he should be in the late stage of the Vajra Realm now!"

"Isn't this too risky?"

Jia Daoshi took a deep breath and nodded, saying, "Although it's risky, we have to take this risk!"

"Do you think he'll cause trouble for Wei Shuang?" Di Qinglin asked.

“That’s right. Although he’s temporarily gone, who knows if he’ll send spies to watch our manor? Wei Shuang will come back sooner or later, and as soon as she does, that guy will definitely come knocking again!” Jia Daoshi said firmly. “Since you are both my wives, I absolutely cannot let anything happen to my women!”

The cold wind swirled and ruffled Jia Daoshi's short hair. A snowflake or two landed on Jia Daoshi, slowly melting into water droplets that flowed down his chest.

His words were devoid of any emotion, as if he were talking about something perfectly ordinary, as if everything was perfectly natural.

Di Qinglin felt a pang of emotion; the previous Jia Daoshi had been heartless and ruthless.

But the current Jia Daoshi is deeply affectionate and loyal!

Upon hearing this, both Di Qinglin and Murong Jiu showed expressions of worry and pity in their eyes.

Yi Qianxiao, who had just gotten up and walked into the living room, felt as if her soul had been pierced in an instant!
