Duan Zhengchun transmigrates to Yin Zhiping

Nothing more was said that night. When Duan Zhengchun returned to Chaomu Cliff, it was almost dawn. Lin Zhiyuan, perhaps because he had been working too hard these past few days, was still fast asleep.

When Duan Zhengchun woke up during the day, he was still in "seclusion," so he went to practice his sword alone in front of the stone wall.

Under Duan Zhengchun's guidance, Lin Zhiyuan's swordsmanship became increasingly refined. Although it was only the most basic introductory swordsmanship of the Quanzhen Sect, after several days of hard practice, he had already reached a higher level. For him, it was a complete transformation.

After nightfall, Duan Zhengchun once again quietly slipped out of the thatched hut, took the silver he had earned from Lin Zhiyuan, secretly went down the mountain, bought a silver hairpin from a silver shop, and came to the Tomb of the Living Dead once more.

With his meager savings, he could only afford such a cheap silver hairpin. He had spent all his savings on the marriage proposal, and he would probably have to find another opportunity to flirt with the other disciples in the temple if he wanted to buy wine again.

Upon arriving at the Tomb of the Living Dead, Duan Zhengchun immediately revealed himself and summoned Granny Sun.

"You lecherous scoundrel, what are you doing here now?!"

Granny Sun, with a stern face, questioned him with displeasure. However, since yesterday, she knew that she was no match for Duan Zhengchun, so she dared not make a move again.

"Please go in and inform them, Mother-in-law, that I have come to propose marriage."

Duan Zhengchun clasped his hands in a salute and said with a smile.

"Propose marriage?!"

"With whom?!"

Grandma Sun was stunned for a moment, her face full of surprise.

"The only two people living in this ancient tomb are you, master and servant. Who else could it be? It couldn't be you, Mother-in-law, could it?"

Duan Zhengchun smiled slightly and made a joke.

"You scoundrel! You're not allowed to make fun of this old woman!"

"Miss Long won't agree to this, and I, this old woman, will even less so! If you know what's good for you, leave now! Otherwise, I'll have the jade bees sting you again!"

Granny Sun glared angrily at Duan Zhengchun, and with a wave of her hand, she directly ordered him to leave.

She had already figured it out: Duan Zhengchun was most afraid of jade bees.

"So the bees that Miss Long raises are called Jade Bees, what a wonderful name! Jade Bees, Jade Beauty, how fitting!"

"A gentleman as handsome as jade, unparalleled in the world, wouldn't Miss Long and I be a perfect match!"

Duan Zhengchun seemed to be deep in thought, nodding as he muttered to himself.

Granny Sun sneered and said, "The young lady is indeed a beauty, but I have never seen anyone as shameless as you, daring to claim to be unparalleled in the world!"

Upon hearing this, Duan Zhengchun was not angry, but simply shook his head helplessly.

Although Granny Sun's words were somewhat harsh, he understood that it was all because she was wholeheartedly protecting her master, and besides, he had indeed offended her several times before.

"Grandma Sun, you mustn't be rude."

Just then, as the voice rang out, Little Dragon Girl actually appeared on her own initiative and slowly walked out of the cave.

"Miss Long, it's been a long time."

Duan Zhengchun immediately clasped his hands in a salute, a charming smile appearing on his lips.

"It's only been a day, how can you say it's been a long time?"

Xiaolongnu spoke calmly, once again regaining her usual indifference and composure.

"A day apart feels like three autumns; for me, even a moment's separation is unbearable."

Duan Zhengchun gazed at Xiaolongnu with deep affection, speaking each word with utmost seriousness.

"I made it very clear yesterday that you don't need to come here again, young master. You are not welcome here."

Xiaolongnu's expression changed slightly. She slowly turned to the side and once again gave the order to leave.

"I've come today to propose marriage. A man's word is his bond. Since I said I would marry you, I will keep my word!"

As Duan Zhengchun spoke, he reached into his robes and pulled out the unremarkable silver hairpin, presenting it with both hands.

"Who said I was going to marry you?!"

Xiaolongnu's face instantly turned red. She turned and glared at Duan Zhengchun, then scolded him with dissatisfaction.

"I mistakenly entered the stone chamber that day and ruined your reputation, young lady. Of course, I must take full responsibility. Otherwise, wouldn't I be no different from a beast?!"

Duan Zhengchun looked at Xiaolongnu seriously and spoke with unwavering certainty.

"You took a slap from me yesterday, I've already forgiven you..."

"It's all settled! Don't bring it up again!"

Little Dragon Girl's face turned bright red, and she turned away in dissatisfaction.

"But I can't forget you, my lady. Ever since I was struck in the chest by your palm, every time I feel pain, I think of you. In my dreams and in my waking life, all I think about is you!"

"I only wish to stay with you in this life, through life and death."

Duan Zhengchun, deeply moved, spoke while unconsciously moving closer to Xiaolongnu.

"How dare you spout such nonsense!"

Before Xiaolongnu could reply, Granny Sun, who was standing to the side, had already lost her temper again. She shouted angrily, put two fingers into her mouth, and then made a strange noise!

As the strange cries spread, the swarm of bees arrived, overwhelming Duan Zhengchun.

"Grandma Sun, no..."

Little Dragon Girl was stunned for a moment, exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly turned around to stop him, but then stood frozen in place.

Duan Zhengchun pulled out a bamboo whistle from somewhere, put it in his mouth, and immediately blew a whistle!

As the whistle blew, the jade bees that were about to attack Duan Zhengchun suddenly stopped and then danced around Duan Zhengchun's head, even posing like graceful ladies!

Seeing this, both Little Dragon Girl and Granny Sun were dumbfounded.

The art of controlling bees was originally Xiaolongnu's unique skill. Apart from her, only Granny Sun knew how to control them. Unexpectedly, Duan Zhengchun could also control them!

"You...you actually figured out a solution so quickly?!"

Xiaolongnu looked at Duan Zhengchun in surprise and asked in disbelief.

Duan Zhengchun put away his bamboo whistle and slowly walked towards Xiaolongnu, saying softly, "My mouth can control both bees and people. Would you like to try it, young lady?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaolongnu, filled with shame and indignation, unleashed a palm strike, but it was weak and powerless, lacking any internal energy.

Duan Zhengchun reached out and grabbed Xiaolongnu's wrist, slowly handing her the silver hairpin. Looking at her flushed face, he couldn't help but want to kiss her.

But just then, a slight sound came from not far away, as if footsteps were stepping on dry grass.

"Who?!"

Duan Zhengchun's expression changed drastically, and he turned around abruptly to look in the direction from which the sound came.

Before the words were even finished, a figure flashed by and quickly disappeared into the night.

"Go away!"

Duan Zhengchun shouted sharply, stopped teasing Xiaolongnu, and chased after her like lightning, disappearing in a few leaps.

Little Dragon Girl stood frozen in place, her heart pounding, staring blankly at the dark night, momentarily at a loss for what to do.

The silver hairpin that Duan Zhengchun had spent all his savings to buy for his marriage proposal had now fallen to her feet.

...

At the mountaintop, Duan Zhengchun stood on a treetop facing the wind, squinting as he observed his surroundings, his expression slightly solemn.

He clearly saw a figure just now, but after chasing after it, he found nothing.

His first thought was that the person might be a villain who wanted to harm the Ancient Tomb Sect, but now he began to suspect that the person might be Zhao Zhijing or another Quanzhen Sect disciple!

If that's really the case, then they're after him!

If the people in the sect find out that he went to see Xiaolongnu, they will definitely use this to make trouble for Qiu Chuji! It will be very troublesome! It might even implicate Xiaolongnu!

After a moment of contemplation, Duan Zhengchun glanced in the direction of the Tomb of the Living Dead, then turned and headed back towards Chaomu Cliff. Before confirming the person's identity, he decided to return to Chaomu Cliff first.

With Xiaolongnu's skills, ordinary people cannot harm her unless they are top-notch masters.

If that person was a top expert, he wouldn't have fled as soon as he was exposed.

Back at Chaomu Cliff, Lin Zhiyuan's snoring was still clearly audible. Duan Zhengchun made no noise and quietly returned to his thatched hut.

Just as Duan Zhengchun was drifting off to sleep, a sudden burst of flames erupted on Chaomu Cliff, accompanied by a cacophony of footsteps!

Duan Zhengchun was suddenly awakened and quickly got up and rushed out of the thatched hut. However, he soon discovered that there were many Quanzhen Sect disciples holding torches around the hut. The leader of them was Cui Zhifang, another disciple of Zhao Zhijing and Wang Chuyi!

Lin Zhiyuan has been tied up and is being held by two of Hao Datong's disciples!

"Senior Brother Zhao, what does this mean?!"

Duan Zhengchun narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at Zhao Zhijing, who had a sneer on his face.

"You did such a despicable thing, and now you ask me what I mean! If you have something to say, go back and say it in front of the entire sect!"

"By order of the sect leader, bring these two back to Chongyang Palace! If they resist, kill them without mercy!"

Zhao Zhijing snorted coldly and shouted...
