Duan Zhengchun transmigrates to Yin Zhiping

Outside the Beggars' Sect headquarters, a huge crowd had already gathered. The Song-Mongol war was about to begin. Guo Jing and Huang Rong issued invitations to heroes from all over the world, summoning them to Xiangyang to elect a leader of the martial arts world to lead them in fighting against the Mongol army.

Guo Jing's reputation as a chivalrous hero had long been known throughout the land, so upon receiving the call, people from all walks of life rushed to Xiangyang.

Duan Zhengchun, carrying a sword case on his back, stopped in front of the Beggars' Sect headquarters. Lu Youjiao, who was guarding the door to greet him, immediately saw Duan Zhengchun dismount and hurriedly came to meet him.

After the last incident, everyone in the Beggars' Sect knew Duan Zhengchun's identity. Moreover, thanks to Guo Jing's reminder, they realized that if Duan Zhengchun hadn't shown mercy that day, Lu Youjiao and the Dharma Protector Elder would have been killed on the spot.

"Greetings, Master Yin."

Lu Youjiao quickly approached, took the reins, and bowed respectfully.

Duan Zhengchun simply nodded casually, then stepped inside. There were hundreds of martial arts heroes present today, and many of them did not know his identity, so apart from the Beggar Clan disciples who were leading the way, no one paid him any attention.

Not long after they entered the gate, Guo Jing and his wife, having heard of Duan Zhengchun's arrival, rushed over from afar.

"Master Guo, it's been a long time! I truly admire your ability to gather everyone here in Xiangyang to discuss important matters!"

Upon seeing Guo Jing appear, a middle-aged man immediately greeted him with a smile and clasped his hands in greeting. He appeared to be the leader of a certain sect.

To his surprise, Guo Jing didn't even glance at him, but walked right past him and strode towards Duan Zhengchun.

"Brother Yin, I thought you weren't coming."

When they parted a month ago, he had personally asked Duan Zhengchun to stay, but Duan Zhengchun refused without hesitation. Later, he learned that Duan Zhengchun had told his wife Huang Rong about his place of seclusion.

He originally thought Duan Zhengchun wouldn't come this time, but he didn't expect him to actually come.

"Brother, sister-in-law, it's been a long time."

Duan Zhengchun greeted the two with a smile and clasped his hands in greeting, his gaze lingering on Huang Rong for a moment longer than intended.

The surrounding martial arts figures were all surprised to see that Duan Zhengchun, at such a young age, was being greeted so warmly by Guo Jing and Huang Rong, and their eyes were full of envy.

"It's good that you're here. With you here, the position of martial arts alliance leader this time is probably yours for the taking."

"With you and me, brothers, joining forces, what great things can't we accomplish?"

Guo Jing patted Duan Zhengchun on the shoulder, clearly very happy.

Huang Rong silently stayed by Guo Jing's side, deliberately avoiding Duan Zhengchun's intentional or unintentional gaze.

"Master Guo, may I ask who this gentleman is?"

The middle-aged man who had just been ignored by Guo Jing slowly stepped forward, clasped his hands in a salute, and looked at Duan Zhengchun, asking a question.

Guo Jing smiled, turned his head and glanced around, pointed at Duan Zhengchun, and loudly introduced: "I'm sure you've all heard that three years ago, a mysterious master went deep into the Western Regions and single-handedly caused chaos among the Western Regions' secret sects with a broken sword!"

"Later, in Jiangnan, he fought my father-in-law, Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic, to a standstill and was praised by my father-in-law for his encouragement! Also, three years ago, when the Mongol army harassed the border of Huai'an, he rushed to the aid of the border and personally took the head of the vanguard general of the Mongol army!"

"This rumored rising star is none other than the one beside me! However, three years have passed, and the former Young Hero Yin has now become the Great Hero Yin!"

As the words fell, Duan Zhengchun turned his head with a proud expression and looked at Duan Zhengchun again, his eyes full of approval.

Upon hearing this, all the heroes of the martial arts world present realized Duan Zhengchun's identity and greeted him with clasped hands, showering him with praise.

Duan Zhengchun gave a wry smile, clasped his hands in return to the crowd, and felt somewhat uneasy, not expecting Guo Jing to pull such a move.

If Huang Yaoshi knew that someone was spreading the story of their previous sparring match, he would definitely not forgive his son-in-law.

At this moment, several familiar faces emerged from the crowd and greeted Duan Zhengchun. Wu Santong and his wife, the Wu brothers, and Guo Fu also appeared.

"Brother Duan!"

Immediately afterwards, a beautiful figure stepped out from the crowd and excitedly greeted Duan Zhengchun.

It was Wanyan Ping!

"Why are you here too?"

Duan Zhengchun looked surprised as he examined Wanyan Ping, whom he hadn't seen for three years, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips.

"Young Master Yin, how have you been?"

"Junior brother!"

Immediately afterwards, two more people emerged from the crowd and greeted Duan Zhengchun. They were Lu Guanying, the owner of Guiyun Manor in Jiaxing, and his wife Cheng Yaojia.

"So you two have come too."

Duan Zhengchun was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and returned the greeting with a fist and palm salute.

"Brother Guo has summoned all the heroes of the martial arts world to Xiangyang. Given my friendship with Brother Guo, how could I not come?"

Lu Guanying pointed to Guo Jing beside him and said with a smile.

Only then did Duan Zhengchun realize that Lu Guanying and Guo Jing had a close relationship.

"Alright, everyone, stop standing here and check in. I've prepared a welcome banquet for you all. We'll drink until we drop and enjoy ourselves."

Seeing that the time was right, Guo Jing waved to the crowd and said something, then led his wife Huang Rong to the door to welcome the heroes from all walks of life.

There are still six days until the martial arts tournament, and many heroes are still on their way.

Immediately afterwards, the crowd gradually dispersed and headed to their residences in the backyard, while Wanyan Ping silently stayed by Duan Zhengchun's side, reluctant to part again.

Lu Guanying and Cheng Yaojia exchanged a glance, neither of them saying anything. After bowing to Duan Zhengchun, they turned and left.

"Let's go."

Duan Zhengchun spoke gently to Wanyan Ping, and led by Lu Youjiao, slowly walked towards the backyard.

In a corner not far away, Guo Fu looked at Duan Zhengchun and Wanyan Ping, who were behaving intimately, and couldn't help but pout, her brows full of disappointment.

She had witnessed the entire exchange of glances between Duan Zhengchun and Wanyan Ping.

...

Backyard wing.

Duan Zhengchun and Wanyan Ping sat facing each other, gazing at each other with deep affection.

How are you doing?

Having not seen each other for three years, they both had a lot to say, but when they met again, they almost simultaneously asked a strange question.

After a brief pause, the two exchanged a knowing smile, their unspoken understanding unspoken.

They both knew in their hearts that the other person was always thinking of them.

"After this martial arts tournament ends, would you be willing to leave with me?"

Duan Zhengchun paused for a moment, then asked gently.

If it were before he left the Quanzhen Sect, he wouldn't have easily taken Wanyan Ping back, because he was too lazy to explain to Xiaolongnu.

But things are different now. Since he established the Green Robe Guard, all the women in the guard have become his women. Xiaolongnu has long been used to it, and she is very sure of her position in Duan Zhengchun's heart.

Therefore, the moment Duan Zhengchun saw Wanyan Ping, he had already made up his mind.

"Is it really possible?"

Upon hearing Duan Zhengchun's question, Wanyan Ping was stunned for a moment, then asked again with joy, her eyes already welling up with tears of excitement.

During those three years, she often suffered from sleepless nights, as if she were suffering from lovesickness.

Duan Zhengchun nodded seriously, gently wiped away the tears that had fallen from Wanyan Ping's eyes, then slowly stood up and tightly embraced Wanyan Ping in his arms.

But with Duan Zhengchun's action, Wanyan Ping could no longer hold back and began to sob softly, tears streaming down her face.

Duan Zhengchun gently stroked Wanyan Ping's head, sighing inwardly, filled with remorse.

Not long after, Duan Zhengchun opened the window, and soft whispers could be heard.

Duan Zhengchun, who was unable to attend the banquet, dismissed the Beggar Clan disciples who had come to invite him.

After learning the inside story, the disciple immediately left in a panic, his heart pounding with anxiety, and his mind racing with all sorts of thoughts.

...

After Wan Yanping fell asleep, Duan Zhengchun quietly left the room. His stomach was empty, and he wanted to find something to eat.

But it was already late at night, and he didn't know if there was any food left, not even where the kitchen was.

However, just as Duan Zhengchun was about to go find the kitchen, he suddenly noticed a breathing sound coming from the corner of the wall not far away...
