Singing with a Sword

The following is the main text of the novel "{?$article_title?}" ({?$jieqi_title?}) provided by {?$jieqi_sitename?}. Please enjoy! The onlookers, watching and listening to Yi Ranxiao's exchange with the prostitutes, gradually began to suspect that the prostitutes were lying. Yi Ranxiao then said at the opportune moment, "Now everyone should be able to see, right? Not a single word these ladies said is true. I, Yi Ranxiao, did not go to a brothel the other day!"

The seven prostitutes were still at a loss for words and stood there dumbfounded. Their accomplices, mixed in with the crowd, also couldn't come up with anything good to say.

At this moment, Yi Ranxiao said again, "If you still don't believe me, then come with me to that brothel. A few years ago, I accidentally obtained a magical artifact that can detect the aura left behind by a person in a room. If I really went to your brothel, even if it was five days ago, this artifact can still detect the aura I left there!"

Yi Ranxiao stared at the leading prostitute and asked again in a stern voice, "Do you dare to take me with you?"

The lead prostitute wilted, stammered for a moment, and said apologetically, "Great hero, you are so magnanimous. We women were forced into this situation, that's why..."

Yi Ranxiao asked with a solemn expression, "Tell me, who sent you here?" The prostitute said embarrassedly, "Great Hero, I... I dare not say, please don't force me!" The person who secretly sent her was naturally Xu An. Xu An was a member of the Vanguard Hall, which was the most powerful force in Jianling City. She dared not offend him!

In fact, Yi Ranxiao had already guessed that it was the Vanguard Hall, so he didn't press them any further. Instead, he generously said, "Since you're unwilling to talk about it, I won't force you. Go on your way and be good people from now on. On behalf of the Heavenly Venerable, I sincerely wish that you can repent and start anew."

The prostitutes and the group of people mixed in with the crowd immediately slunk away. The onlookers all gave them a thumbs up, saying that the great hero was truly magnanimous; despite being wronged like that, he could still laugh it off and even wish them well. He was indeed no ordinary person.

But even though the prostitute is gone, Qian Xiaomo is still here!

At this moment, Qian Xiaomo walked up to Yi Ranxiao and said softly, "I knew you weren't that kind of person, Brother Yi." After saying that, he reached out to hug Yi Ranxiao.

Yi Ranxiao was greatly troubled. His "luck with women" today was...every woman wanted to hug him! He immediately took another step back and said, "Miss Qian, please have some self-respect!"

Qian Xiaomo frowned, stomped her foot and said angrily, "Fine, just a few days ago you were holding me and whispering sweet nothings in my ear, saying you would propose to my father and marry me, how come you're distancing yourself from me in front of everyone today?"

Yi Ranxiao sighed helplessly in her heart. The Vanguard Hall was really ruthless. Their two ruthless moves were more difficult to deal with than the other!

You can use word guessing to deal with prostitutes, but how can you make Qian Xiaomo guess words when she hasn't said that she did that kind of thing with him? Yiran Xiao thought to herself, troubled.

Qian Xiaomo pressed on, saying, "Brother Yi, please don't ignore me! Xiaomo will be sad!" As she finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes.

Qian Xiaomo was originally a rather cold girl; she had never said so many mushy things before. However, Shenfeng Hall had already wiped out Chen Dasheng and Shenquan Gang, and their Axe Gang might be next!

For the sake of the gang's cause and for her father's sake, she had no choice but to go all out!

"Brother Yi, are you really going to ignore Xiao Mo? Are you really such a heartless person?" Qian Xiao Mo asked pitifully, her eyes brimming with tears. For a moment, the onlookers felt a pang of sympathy and instinctively wanted to believe that Yi Ran Xiao and Qian Xiao Mo were a couple!

However, Yi Ranxiao had already come up with a brilliant plan!

The Axe Gang is a vulgar gang, and its leader, Qian Xiaotian, is a burly man, but he has married a beautiful wife and had a lovely daughter, Qian Xiaomo.

Today, Qian Xiaomo was dressed in a deep purple robe, which made her skin appear even whiter and more delicate. Although the robe wasn't tight, it couldn't conceal her exquisite and graceful curves. Her features were exquisitely alluring; her cherry-like lips were crystal clear, her nose was straight and delicate, and her beautiful eyes revealed a haughty nobility, yet at this moment they exuded a unique tenderness, stirring a desire in Yi Ranxiao to possess her. This led him to devise this ingenious plan—

"Xiao Mo," suddenly, Yi Ranxiao called out in an extremely gentle voice, looking at Qian Xiao Mo with deep affection in his eyes. He then slowly walked towards her, stopped in front of her, raised his hand, and touched her fair and tender cheek. "Xiao Mo, I was confused just now and didn't recognize you! Xiao Mo, don't be angry."

Qian Xiaomo was shocked. Why did Yi Ranxiao suddenly acknowledge him? But on the surface, he still looked tender. "Brother Yi, you finally acknowledge me!" Whatever, as long as you have any connection with me, the status of your Shenfeng Hall in the eyes of the people will drop significantly, which will naturally affect your development. If you don't develop well, it will be a blessing for our Axe Gang!

Upon seeing this, the common people shook their heads, their faces showing anger. So, the Divine Wind Hall is actually in cahoots with the underworld?!

Ji Yuantao and the others were also stunned. Could it be that their senior brother and Qian Xiaomo were really a couple? If that were the case, would anyone still come to Shenfeng Hall to offer incense? Sigh, Qian Xiaomo is indeed beautiful and gorgeous, an absolute beauty. No wonder their senior brother... Sigh, even heroes have difficulty resisting the charms of a beautiful woman!

Yi Ranxiao completely disregarded the gazes and gossip of others, gazing tenderly at Qian Xiaomo and saying, "Xiaomo, now that our relationship is public, then—" As he spoke, he slowly brought his lips to Qian Xiaomo's lips!

Qian Xiaomo was shocked! In her plan, she only needed to say a few sweet words to prove that she and Yi Ranxiao had a tiny bit of a relationship, but she never thought of giving her kiss! And this was her first kiss!

What girl would let her first kiss be taken by a man who doesn't love her at all? Even the daughter of a gangster boss! Qian Xiaomo immediately took three big steps back!

A barely perceptible glint of cunning flashed in Yi Ranxiao's eyes. The plan was about to succeed! A woman had come to his doorstep; it would be a disservice to the Heavenly Venerable not to take advantage of her!

After Qian Xiaomo stopped, she glared angrily at Yi Ranxiao. That angry look alone made many onlookers doubt the truth of her earlier words! She also noticed the change in the crowd's attitude. After calming down, she smiled slightly and said shyly, "Brother Yi, I'm too embarrassed to kiss you...you...in front of so many people..."

Yi Ranxiao looked at the two blushes on her face and thought to himself, "This young lady is really good at pretending! But you're still a bit too green." "Oh, since there are so many people outside, let's go to my bedroom." As he spoke, he walked over and brazenly took Qian Xiaomo's delicate little hand.

Qian Xiaomo was burning with anger! Aside from her father, no other man had ever held her hand! She'd really been taken advantage of today! But for the sake of the gang, she had to endure it for now; holding hands wouldn't cause pregnancy. Qian Xiaomo said shyly, "I'm too embarrassed to go to your bedroom."

Suddenly, Yi Ranxiao laughed loudly, looking up at the sky, and said, "Xiao Mo, we've already consummated our marriage, so why are you so shy?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Xiaomo finally couldn't hold back any longer! How could you allow yourself to defile a young woman's purity?

"Yiran Xiao, you've gone too far!" Qian Xiaomo, exuding murderous intent, pointed at Yiran Xiao and shouted, "If you dare to speak disrespectfully again, I will definitely kill you!"

Yi Ranxiao chimed in, "What kind of logic is it for a girl to kill her lover?" Enraged, Qian Xiaomo immediately retorted, "Who said we had that kind of relationship?!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Ranxiao narrowed his eyes and remained silent, only smiling as he watched Qian Xiaomo. Qian Xiaomo took a moment to process this before realizing he had let something slip; the truth was out, and the plan had failed!

The crowd realized that Yi Ranxiao had indeed been wronged! The Shenfeng Hall they revered was still the sacred place where the Primordial Celestial Venerable manifested! And Yi Ranxiao, look at him, so calm in the face of danger! Faced with being wronged, he used a variety of strategies to easily resolve two difficult problems. He truly is a great figure chosen by the Celestial Venerable, extraordinary indeed! Yi Ranxiao's position in the hearts of the people was further consolidated and deepened!

Qian Xiaomo and the others were filled with shame and slunk away as well. At this moment, another person quietly left Shenfeng Hall; this person was Xu An, who had been mingling in the crowd.

Damn it, the plan failed again! Yi Ranxiao, you're really something! Xu An thought bitterly as he fled. Both plans had failed! How was he going to face his senior brother now?

However, Xu An had only walked a short distance when Yi Ranxiao and the others suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Yiranxiao, what... what are you going to do?" Xu An realized something was wrong. This was his Shenfeng Hall's territory. Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. Could it be that Yiranxiao and the others were planning to gang up on him?

As Xu An hurriedly left, Yi Ranxiao had already noticed him and followed him with her men. "I knew it. The mastermind behind this is someone from your Vanguard Hall."

Xu An acquiesced.

Yi Ranxiao then said, "Xu An, go back and tell Zhang Qiang to stop playing these little tricks. We'll see each other on February 28th next year! We'll have a fair fight then!"

February 28th is the day of the battle!

After returning to the Vanguard Hall, Xu An immediately told Zhang Qiang about what had happened that day. Zhang Qiang smiled and said, unusually, "Yiranxiao, you really are better than Zhong Bugui. Heh, you want to defeat our Vanguard Hall? You want to beat me? Hmph, no way!"

Although Zhang Qiang was also at the peak of the eighth level of the Transcendent Realm, his combat strength was far superior to Xiang Wuji's! Yi Ranxiao had single-handedly taken on the Divine Fist Gang, and Zhang Qiang had considered that he could do the same if he used his own ultimate move! Therefore, he believed that he was still much stronger than Yi Ranxiao!

So Zhang Qiang was not afraid of Yi Ranxiao's challenge at all!
