Luo Ning had been worried about how to use the knife. Seeing that Shuishui was doing it for her and could even customize it, she was naturally happy. In order to prove that this was specially for Third Lady’s exclusive use, she thought for a moment and said, “Engrave a poem.”

“Oh??¹ A hint of surprise flashed across Daoist Xuanji’s eyes. She seriously engraved the words on the base. Then she looked it over carefully and found that it wasn’t smooth enough. So she used her finger and strong internal energy to smooth the surface of the piece of jade. Then she held it in her hand and checked it over. “How is it?”

Luo Ning sized it up and felt that it was perfect. She praised, “Good sword skills. If you make jewelry, you should be able to make a lot of money/¹

Daoist Xuanji played with the small jade object. “With my sword skills, who would sell jewelry to make money? The ‘sword’ emphasizes agility, elegance, and precision. Your sword skills are sloppy, and you can’t even handle a stone. You have to practice more in the future. Actually, drawing and writing are ail methods to practice weapons. When your hands are stable to the peak, whatever you want to express on paper can also be expressed with the sword…”

When Luo Ning heard Shuishui guiding her in martial arts, her expression was very solemn. But when she saw the jade object turning on her fingertip, she felt very strange.

But before Luo Ning could think of a way to get the object, she heard a sound coming from outside.

“Chirp chirp chirp!”

Luo Ning and Daoist Xuanji could understand what the bird was saying: Where is she?

Luo Ning’s expression changed, and she hurriedly tried to hide the object.

Seᶐᶉch ᶇewᶇoᶌeᶅ ,oᶉg oᶇ ᶃooᶃl℮

But Daoist Xuanji turned around and walked out of the room.

“Huh?” Luo Ning’s expression froze. She raised her hand to stop her, but it was too late.

“Fairy Lu, why are you…”

Outside the room, Ye Jingtang and the bird landed together. When they heard a sound in the west wing, they walked over directly. Before they reached the door, they saw the fairy-like Daoist Xuanji raise the bead curtain.

Ye Jingtang was quite surprised. Just as he was about to greet her, he found that she was wearing two furry ears on her head. She looked like a fox immortal walking out of the room, full of a demonic aura.

?

Ye Jingtang was stunned, and there was a smile in his eyes. Just as he was about to ask where this thing cfrom, he discovered that Daoist Xuanji was playing with a jade object in her hand. No matter how he looked at it, it looked like the one from Tears of a Heroine…

Is it similar, or…

(O_O)?!

Holy shit…

Ye Jingtang suddenly stopped in his tracks. He looked at Daoist Xuanji’s right hand and tilted his head slightly. He wanted to say something but hesitated.

Daoist Xuanji looked down. With a hint of pride in her eyes, she threw the object to Ye Jingtang. “How is it?”

What else could he do?

Ye Jingtang didn’t dare to take it, but he still caught it for fear of breaking it. He looked at his silly wife behind Daoist Xuanji, and the meaning in his eyes was self-explanatory: Heroine Luo! What are you doing?!

Luo Ning was sitting in front of the dressing table, her face flushed red and at a loss for what to do. Then she looked ashamed and aggrieved and lowered her head without saying a word.

When Ye Jingtang saw Ningers aggrieved look, he couldn’t bear it. He forced himself to calm down and sized up the jade object. “Hmm… It’s really beautiful. Hehe…”

Daoist Xuanji noticed Ye Jingtang’s strange expression and asked curiously, “Hmm? Is this thing special?”

Ye Jingtang braced himself and said, “I just feel that the sword skills are really good. The handwriting is like dragons and snakes, and the workmanship is exquisite. It’s obvious that it was carved with a sword…”

Seeing that Ye Jingtang knew his stuff, Daoist Xuanji was quite satisfied. “It’s good that you like it. I’ll give it to you. You accompany Ning’er. I’m going back to the palace. In a few days, Her Majesty will go to Clear Water Villa to rest and relax for a period of time. If you have time, bring people there and inspect the surroundings first. Her Majesty feels relieved when you do things.”

“Okay.” Ye Jingtang didn’t dare to stay long with Daoist Xuanji. After Daoist Xuanji flew away and the bird followed, he rubbed his forehead and quickly entered the room.

Luo Ning panicked when she was caught red-handed by the little thief. When she saw the man enter, she hurriedly explained, “Madam Wang toldabout it, so I casually got it for Third Lady. When Shui er cover, 1 only said that it was an ornament…”

Ye J ingtang knew very well what was going on and didn’t make things difficult for his wife. He sat down beside Ning’er and looked at the jade object. “There’s a picture in Tears of a Heroine. If Daoist Xuanji finds out the truth in the future, how will I explain it?”

Luo Ning bit her lower lip lightly. She couldn’t even pretend to be a virtuous heroine like before and said in a low voice, “Just say that… you were the one who cup with the idea and askedto do it. I didn’t dare to tell her the truth, so 1 kept her in the dark.”

?

Ye Jingtang felt that she was indeed his wife. He nodded and said, “Daoist Xuanji will probably beatto death, but I’ll still say this to prevent you from being in a tough spot and feeling awkward.”

Seeing that the little thief was so easy to talk to, Luo Ning knew that she would have to pay a price. After thinking for a moment, she didn’t let Ye Jingtang take the initiative to speak. She slowly got up, sat in front of the bed, and grabbed the jade object. “This is for Third Lady. You’ve been busy all day. You must be tired, right? I’ll help you recuperate. Lie down.”

It was rare for Ye Jingtang to see such a gentle Ning’er. He coughed lightly and leaned against the head of the bed. “It s broad daylight. I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

“It’s fine as long as you’re happy.” Luo Ning was afraid that Ye Jingtang would be unforgiving and let her reap what she sowed, so she was very considerate.

Ye Jingtang found her funny. “Alright, I won’t force you if you’re unwilling.”

When Luo Ning heard this, she looked a little unhappy. “You still say you won’t? Third Lady treatedlike that, but you didn’t stop her…”

“That’s because you lost to Third Lady. 1 didn’t dare to interrupt.”

“You just enjoyed it.”

“So what if I did? If you have the ability, suffocateto death… Woo…”

Not long after the two of them started flirting, footsteps sounded from the corridor.

Pei Xiangjun had been in the new residence just now. When she heard that Ye Jingtang had returned, she hurriedly rushed back. Just as she turned around the corridor, she found that the vixen was in the room and being intimate with Jingtang.

Pei Xiangjun frowned and quickly walked to the west wing. She looked at Luo Ning, who had quickly gotten up and put on her clothes. “Hairless girl, what were you talking about?”

“Third Lady Pei!”

When Luo Ning heard this terrible nickname, she frowned. But after sthought, she didn’t flare up. Instead, she stood up, closed the door, and pulled Third Lady into the inner room. “Ye Jingtang bought you a treasure. See if you like it.”

Then she threw the jade object to Pei Xiangjun.

Pei Xiangjun looked at the words on the base of the jade object and was really surprised. She sat down beside Ye Jingtang. ‘What is this for?”

Ye Jingtang coughed lightly, hugged Third Lady’s waist, and got her to sit on his leg. Then he patted the other side and got Ning’er to sir down. “It’s just a small item. I’ll tell you later.”

When Pei Xiangjun saw the vixen’s aggressive aura, she knew that this thing was terrifying and was here to deal with her, so she didn’t ask foolishly.

Pei Xiangjun put away the object and looked at Ye Jingtang. “You weren’t hurt yesterday, were you?”

Ye Jingtang felt uncomfortable sitting, so he lay down and brought his two wives down. “I’m fine. I just didn’t sleep well yesterday. I need to catch up on sleep.”

Pei Xiangjun blinked and leaned over to peck Ye Jingtang’s lips. “How should I help you?”

Luo Ning leaned over. She originally didn’t want to speak, but at this moment, she still added, “How else can you help him? I’m a little tired. Hurry up and help him recuperate.”

Pei Xiangjun wasn’t in a hurry to start. She leaned on Ye Jingtang’s shoulder, pulled his hand to her body, and asked, “I heard that the Hong Mountain Gang caused trouble yesterday?”

“Yeah. I beat Shi Yanfeng to death, and Zheng Kun is still locked in the dungeon for interrogation.”

“I heard that Shi Yanfeng has a good relationship with Jiang Zhahu. If he dies in your hands, Jiang Zhahu will definitely hold a grudge. Although he doesn’t dare to cto the capital to take revenge on his own, you have to be more careful in the future.”

“Got it.” Ye Jingtang held a watermelon in each hand, feeling a little restless. “I’ll bring you two to the palace to practice the Jade Bone Picture later. We should rest early so we can go there early.”

When Luo Ning heard this, she perked up and turned over. “Is there any progress on entering the Peaceful Hall?”

“It’s more troublesome. We have to think about it at length. You can go there at night. Don’t do anything rash.”

“I know.’¹

Seeing that Ye Jingtang was eager but holding himself back, Luo Ning patted Third Lady’s waist.

Pa-

“Hurry up. Why are you dawdling?”

Pei Xiangjun was slightly unhappy. She propped up her upper body slightly. “Are you being fierce again?”

“You!”

Alright, don’t argue…
