Duan Zhengchun transmigrates to Yin Zhiping

"You seem to care about none of this?"

Duan Zhengchun watched as Hong Lingbo silently got up and dressed, and couldn't help but ask a question.

If what Hong Lingbo said is true, she must already know about his relationship with Lu Wushuang, his feelings for her master, and very likely his feelings for Xiaolongnu.

However, Hong Lingbo did not care at this time, and did not ask any more questions, nor did she worry about gains or losses.

Hong Lingbo smiled and said seriously, "I know you will be extraordinary in the future and will never lack women. My liking you is my own business, and you don't owe me anything."

"I would be content as long as you can occasionally favor me and not forget the passionate night we spent together last night."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hong Lingbo was dressed and smiled at Duan Zhengchun, her eyes filled with infatuation.

Upon hearing this, Duan Zhengchun was deeply moved. He slowly stood up, embraced Hong Lingbo, and gave her a passionate kiss.

"I will not let down any of my women, including you."

Hearing Duan Zhengchun's gentle words, Hong Lingbo nodded with emotion. She glanced at Duan Zhengchun one last time, then quickly turned and walked towards the town at the foot of the mountain without even looking back.

Duan Zhengchun watched silently until Hong Lingbo completely disappeared from his sight before continuing his journey towards Chaomu Cliff.

Although he had no emotional ties to Hong Lingbo until last night, that will no longer be the case from now on.

...

When Duan Zhengchun returned to Chaomu Cliff, he found that Yang Guo had already woken up and was pacing down the cliff with a book in his hand, reading it intently.

"I met the master."

Upon hearing footsteps, Yang Guo hurriedly turned around and, upon seeing Duan Zhengchun, immediately bowed respectfully.

He didn't ask Duan Zhengchun a single question about his absence that night.

Seeing how sensible Yang Guo was, Duan Zhengchun nodded in satisfaction and asked with concern, "How are you? Are you cold staying here?"

Yang Guo shook his head and said earnestly, "I'm not cold. I know that Master is training me. Please rest assured, Master, I will never let you down."

Duan Zhengchun nodded approvingly, said nothing more, and went straight down Chaomu Cliff.

After returning to the Taoist temple, Duan Zhengchun made a brief appearance at Qiu Chuji's place, then went back to the back garden and fell into a deep sleep.

With Lin Zhiyuan and Yang Guo providing cover, everyone in the sect assumed that he spent his days either in the back garden or practicing martial arts at Chaomu Cliff, and no one suspected anything.

After dark, Duan Zhengchun finished washing up and slowly walked out of the room. He greeted Lin Zhiyuan, who was still practicing his sword in the courtyard, and came to Chaomu Cliff again.

Yang Guo sat alone in the thatched hut, intently flipping through books under the candlelight.

Although he had already discovered that Duan Zhengchun had gone to Chaomu Cliff, he pretended not to see anything because he knew that Duan Zhengchun was going out again.

Duan Zhengchun smiled as he looked at the figure in the thatched hut, then leaped up the cliff and disappeared into the night.

At this moment, Yang Guo finally turned around slowly, looking at the steep cliff in front of him with admiration on his face. He was even more glad that he had switched allegiance to Duan Zhengchun.

He secretly made up his mind that he must become like his master in the future, master profound martial arts, punish evil and promote fame throughout the world!

...

A small town at the foot of the mountain.

Duan Zhengchun changed into casual clothes, with a wine gourd tucked into his waistband, and walked slowly down the street.

Looking at the bustling town, he felt incredibly relaxed and content. Compared to becoming the leader of the Quanzhen Sect, he longed for the world of martial arts.

He knew that one day in the future, he was destined to leave the Quanzhen Sect and Zhongnan Mountain.

After a long while, Duan Zhengchun finally found the Yuening Inn.

Hong Lingbo had been waiting at the inn entrance for a while. She quietly told Duan Zhengchun which room Li Mochou was staying in, and then slipped away.

She must not let her master know that she had been to Zhongnan Mountain, so she had to avoid it.

Duan Zhengchun slowly arrived at the door of a guest room on the second floor, took a deep breath, and gently knocked on the door.

Soon, footsteps could be heard inside, and then someone slowly opened the door.

It was Li Mochou.

When their eyes met, both of them froze on the spot.

After not seeing each other for many days, the two people who missed each other so much suddenly seemed a little awkward, unable to say the many things they had in their hearts.

Looking at Li Mochou's sorrowful face, Duan Zhengchun couldn't help but feel sorry for her. He knew that Li Mochou must have been having a very hard time lately.

Li Mochou was completely taken aback by Duan Zhengchun's sudden appearance. Her eyes held a mixture of resentment, joy, and bewilderment.

What are you doing here?!

But soon, Li Mochou coldly said something and turned back to her room.

"Of course I came to see you. Do you know how much I've missed you ever since we parted ways in Jiangling City?"

Duan Zhengchun slowly followed him into the room, speaking gently.

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old?! I won't believe your nonsense anymore!"

"Go away, I don't want to see you again!"

Li Mochou snorted coldly and said without turning her head, her attitude very firm.

"If you don't want to see me again, why did you follow me from Jiangling to Zhongnan Mountain? Don't tell me it's just a coincidence."

"I know you like me, so why did you try so hard to push me away in Jiangling City?"

As Duan Zhengchun spoke, he slowly approached, reaching out to pull Li Mochou into his arms.

"Then what is your relationship with that girl Lu Wushuang?!"

"You're on horseback..."

Li Mochou shoved Duan Zhengchun away, turned around and glared at him. She had only said half of what she wanted to say when she could no longer finish, her brows furrowed with disappointment.

It's finally happening...

Duan Zhengchun looked directly at Li Mochou and said seriously, "Since you've seen it all, I don't want to hide it from you anymore. I like her very much because she can face her feelings directly. At least she's braver than you."

Li Mochou said with dissatisfaction, "So you're saying you're still blaming me?!"

Duan Zhengchun shook his head and continued, "I have never blamed you, otherwise I would not have come to find you tonight. You and she are two completely different people, and I care about both of them."

"I admit I like you, and I also like her. I don't want to lie to you."

Li Mochou kept shaking her head, and said disappointedly, "So all men are the same, fickle and easily bored. You're just as promiscuous as Lu Zhanyuan!"

Duan Zhengchun raised his voice and said, "I am being affectionate, not fickle. I am sincere towards you, and I am sincere towards Shuang'er. In my heart, you are equally important!"

Li Mochou bit her lip, reached into her bosom and pulled out a silver hairpin, shouting, "What about her?!"

Upon seeing the silver hairpin in Li Mochou's hand, Duan Zhengchun couldn't help but frown, because it was a token of love he had given to Xiaolongnu before leaving Zhongnan Mountain!

Now he finally understood why Xiaolongnü suddenly questioned him about his relationship with Li Mochou when they first met after returning to the mountain.

It turns out that Li Mochou had already gone to find Xiaolongnu and even took away the silver hairpin.

"Speechless now?!"

Li Mochou looked at the silent Duan Zhengchun and asked in a deep voice.

Duan Zhengchun shook his head with a wry smile, not answering directly, but instead casually sitting down in a chair and pouring himself a cup of tea.

Seeing Duan Zhengchun's reaction, Li Mochou frowned, suddenly unsure of what to do.

How did you end up with this silver hairpin?

Duan Zhengchun asked slowly as he sipped his tea.

Li Mochou glanced at the silver hairpin in her hand and said in a deep voice, "Originally, I just wanted to go to my master's grave to admit my mistakes and tell her that I was the one who was stubborn and brought this upon myself."

"Then I accidentally discovered that my junior sister was staring at this silver hairpin alone. She had never paid so much attention to such a thing that women use. So I asked her about the origin of this silver hairpin."

"She told me that it was given to you by only a man named Duan Feng! And the alias you used in Jiangling City and the Western Regions was Duan Feng!"

"What is this? A token of love?!"

This time, Duan Zhengchun nodded without hesitation.

Seeing Duan Zhengchun nod, Li Mochou's expression stiffened, and she suddenly began to regret taking out the silver hairpin that had shattered all her hopes.

“I knew her and fell in love with her before you. And the reason I wanted to resolve the feud between you and Lu Family Village in Jiangling City was because you were her senior sister.”

Duan Zhengchun looked at Li Mochou and spoke again, his face serious.

But upon hearing this, Li Mochou's face instantly fell, and her previous accusatory demeanor vanished completely...
