I am the snake demon!

"Wait a minute, is this the second thing? But what does Leng Qinghan have to do with me? I haven't even said a word to her. If we're talking about a relationship, it's that we both dislike each other and have no intention of getting married," Bai Xuan said.

The best way to win over Leng Shih-hu is for him to marry Leng Qing-han.

But putting aside his displeasure and Leng Qinghan's displeasure, Xu Yuhua and the others were also unhappy.

"But right now, to save Qinghan, we need you. Otherwise, it won't be good for you, Qinghan, the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, or the Leng family," Xu Yushuang suddenly said.

Upon hearing Xu Yushuang speak, Bai Xuan raised an eyebrow, a strange feeling rising in her heart. Xu Yushuang's presence was already somewhat illogical, and she had remained silent until now that Leng Qinghan was involved, at which point she spoke up, and her tone was "saving Qinghan." Her eyes darted around, and she immediately smiled and said, "Was it you, Second Sister, who helped Sister-in-law get past all the guards and into the mourning hall?"

The Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion is no ordinary place.

It was a veritable den of dragons and tigers, with guards every three steps and sentries every five steps, heavily fortified. Although Leng Qinghan was talented and had decent martial arts skills, it was absolutely impossible for him to sneak in without alerting these people.

There must be an inside agent in the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion clearing the way for her.

Otherwise, Leng Shih-hu would know Leng Qing-han was coming before she even entered, and would have knocked her unconscious and taken her back.

Leng Qinghan's plan naturally failed in the womb.

Bai Xuan understood this as soon as he saw Leng Qinghan enter.

However, he didn't care who the person who helped Leng Qinghan was.

Firstly, this would benefit him; secondly, it would make the investigation more complicated.

Therefore, these trivial matters can be left to Xu Yuhua and Li Daoyan to investigate.

Now that I see Xu Yushuang here, I finally understand.

So it turns out that Leng Qinghan's inside man was this second princess.

"Yes, Qinghan has no feelings for you, and if you were together, you would be ridiculed by the world and condemned by everyone. So Qinghan is unwilling. But if Qinghan does not marry you and marries someone else, there will be endless troubles. So in the end, she decided to marry Zhenlan and remain a widow." Seeing Bai Xuan react so quickly, Xu Yushuang was a little surprised, but she did not hide anything and spoke frankly.

"I see, how pitiful."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xuan suddenly realized that the attitude towards marriage between an uncle and his sister-in-law varied throughout history. It was prevalent in the Zhou Dynasty, but from the Han Dynasty onwards, it was regarded as immoral. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, if such a marriage was discovered, the offender would be sentenced to hanging.

The current Zhou Dynasty's attitude towards marriage between an uncle and his sister-in-law is roughly the same as that of the Han Dynasty: culturally disdainful, but without any explicit legal prohibition.

Leng Shih-hu came from humble beginnings and didn't care about such things at all; after all, marriages between uncles and aunts were common in the common people.

However, she opposed the idea of ​​someone reading books in a cold and aloof environment, especially in the literary-intensive Jiangnan region.

She was marrying a stranger, and then she was condemned by everyone. It's normal to resist.

However, compared to this, Bai Xuan was more curious about something else, saying, "Second sister and sister-in-law really have a deep affection for each other. No wonder they almost got engaged when they were still children."

It turns out that the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion not only has literature between uncle and aunt, but also lilies in bloom.

It's truly a feast for the eyes.

Great melon, great excitement!

Xu Yushuang frowned her slender eyebrows. Although she had no evidence, she felt that Bai Xuan was thinking something very impolite.

"If they are of opposite sexes, they are betrothed in infancy; if they are of the same sex, they are sworn brothers. Yu Shuang and Qing Han joined the Lingbao Sect together, so their relationship is naturally deep." Xu Yu Hua glanced at Bai Xuan meaningfully. Xu Yu Shuang was not familiar with Bai Xuan, but she knew that Bai Xuan was the kind of person who could ask questions like "Was Father doing it on purpose or by accident?"

Having known Bai Xuan for so long, she hadn't seen the slightest desire for power in him, but his thirst for gossip was the strongest she had ever seen in anyone.

"Oh, I see. Hmm? Then why didn't you have an arranged marriage since you were still a baby?" Bai Xuan suddenly asked curiously.

Speaking of which, Xu Yuhua was in her early twenties, which is far from the age to get married in modern times, but in this era, she is not young.

And everyone else is engaged, so why aren't you?

"That's not the point of today's discussion." A faint hint of murderous intent appeared in Xu Yuhua's clear eyes.

That's enough. Gossiping about my second sister is one thing, but now you're gossiping about me too.

"Alright, you're in trouble, I'll handle it. It's just Leng Qinghan, I'll go talk to Leng Shih-hu." Bai Xuan sensed Xu Yuhua's murderous aura and said with an awkward smile.

"Have you thought of a solution?" Xu Yuhua asked in surprise. She had asked Bai Xuan to come here to discuss a solution, or more accurately, to have Bai Xuan follow their plan. But it turned out that Bai Xuan had already come up with a solution on his own.

"Of course, I have a brilliant plan. I'll go to the Leng family." Bai Xuan stood up and said.

"Go now?" Xu Yuhua exclaimed in surprise.

"Speed ​​is of the essence in war. Right now, Beiliang is just holding up with Xu Wenzheng, the pillar of heaven, and Leng Shih-hu, the beam of gold that holds up the sea. As long as we keep Leng Shih-hu in check, then Xu Wenzheng will be in check, and the northern border will naturally be in check. The court won't be able to do anything about it. After all, if we are really forced to rebel, who will guard the northern border for him?" Bai Xuan said with a faint smile.

Since it has already happened, let's resolve it as soon as possible.

Don't interfere with his cultivation.

His time is very precious.

Halfway there, Bai Xuan suddenly remembered what Xu Yuhua had said earlier, and turned to Xu Yushuang, asking, "Second Sister, you and Sister-in-law are both from the Lingbao Sect, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Xu Yushuang asked.

"If I want to learn the Shangqing Guizhen Method, is there any way?" Bai Xuan asked.

If Xu Yuhua hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten that his dear second sister was from the Lingbao Sect.

"There is no other way but to become a disciple of the Lingbao Sect. If you wish to become a disciple, simply write a letter, and the Lingbao Sect will naturally accept you, allowing you to learn the Shangqing Guizhen Method," Xu Yushuang said.

There are rules in the martial arts world, and she cannot break those rules.

To learn Bai Xuan, one must first master the basics.

"The Lingbao Sect is in Jiangnan, so it would take quite a while to travel back and forth. If I had known, I would have written the letter in advance," Bai Xuan said, shaking his head.

"If Third Brother resolves Qinghan's matter, I will take on a disciple on behalf of our master and first pass on the Shangqing Guizhen Method to you," Xu Yushuang said.

Lingbao Sect couldn't refuse to give face to the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, so giving it to Bai Xuan wasn't considered breaking the rules.

It's a deal.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xuan's face immediately lit up with joy, and he strode out.

Although Leng Qinghan's resistance to this marriage arrangement had nothing to do with him, it indirectly helped him, so he would help her in return, and could also learn the Shangqing Guizhen Method along the way—a good deal.

Xu Yushuang frowned slightly and looked at Xu Yuhua curiously, asking, "Elder sister, is our third brother very interested in the Shangqing Guizhen Method?"

Compared to the Taiqing Guizhen Method and the Yuqing Guizhen Method, the Shangqing Guizhen Method has no advantage.

After all, she had learned all three methods of returning to one's true nature, so she could make judgments.

"I don't know, but since my third brother wants it, let's give it to him. It's not a big deal. The Lingbao Sect will always give us face," Xu Yuhua said.

Xu Yushuang nodded slightly and got up to take her leave.

After she left, only Li Daoyan and Xu Yuhua remained.

"Princess, do you think the young master can succeed?" Li Daoyan asked.

"Mr. Li, do you think it won't work?" Xu Yuhua asked.

"No, I think it's possible. It's just that he's smarter than we thought," Li Daoyan said. His intelligence was beyond imagination, making him difficult to control.

"It's not a bad thing, at least for now," Xu Yuhua said, understanding the implication in Li Daoyan's words.

"I hope it stays this way," Li Daoyan said quietly.
