Chapter 501

Back then, Yan Lingji, under the orders of Tian Ze, broke into the palace of the State of Han, intending to give the King of Han some warnings to make him feel fear, but because Su Xuan intervened, she became Su Xuan's captive.

After Su Xuan defeated her, he had made a deal with her.

That was, if Tian Ze could not rescue her, she would have to serve Su Xuan as her master.

During her captivity, Lady Mingzhu also came to Su Xuan, and subsequently concluded a similar bet with Su Xuan.

Not long after the bet was concluded.

Su Xuan first defeated Tian Ze with his fists, and then executed Bai Yifei.

He achieved a true winner-takes-all.

Su Xuan won both of these bets.

After several years, Yan Lingji did not expect to hear similar words from Su Xuan's mouth today.

She could not help but look at Jing Ni, who was wearing a mask.

It looked like "160," she seemed to be a woman, but she did not know what the true face behind the mask looked like. She should be quite good-looking, otherwise, Su Xuan could not have taken a fancy to her.

No, it should be said that it was strange for Su Xuan to take a fancy to her.

Because according to what Su Xuan said, the other party even had a daughter.

So, why would Su Xuan take a fancy to her and prepare to subdue her?

Yan Lingji was very curious.

As for saying that Su Xuan prepared to subdue her because he took a fancy to Jing Ni's strength, this possibility was directly rejected by Yan Lingji. Jing Ni's strength might be okay, but for Su Xuan, it was just so-so, and could be annihilated with a flick of a finger.

If Su Xuan really cared about Jing Ni's strength, when Zhu Zhong, Si Tu Wanli, and others surrendered earlier, Su Xuan could have accepted them completely. Not only could he have taken several experts of the Agricultural School for his own use, but he could also have taken the opportunity to subdue the entire Agricultural School.

Su Xuan let Yan Lingji guess on the side, and after saying this, he kept looking at Jing Ni.

Upon hearing Su Xuan's words, Jing Ni subconsciously wanted to refuse.

After Nameless moved her with his death back then, she made up her mind to live for herself and would never again be a sharp blade in anyone's hands. This was also the main reason she betrayed the Luo Wang.

Now, if she served Su Xuan as her master, what was the difference from working for the Luo Wang back then?

No difference at all!

But after the words of refusal came to her lips, Jing Ni stopped, simply because the logic was very clear.

She had no room for choice.

She could die, but what about her daughter?

Since Su Xuan knew of her daughter's existence, if she chose to refuse, given the ruthlessness Su Xuan displayed, he would probably not mind killing her daughter after killing her.

This submission was not for herself, but for her daughter.

Jing Ni's tone shifted and became low, "Greetings… Master!"

Once the words "Master" were spoken, it immediately made her think of those years in the Luo Wang.

Since she betrayed the Luo Wang and left the Luo Wang until now, many years had passed. She did not expect that after going around in circles, she would eventually fall into a cage. Now, she only hoped that joining the command of this Dao Lord Xuantian would be better than being under the command of the Luo Wang. Otherwise, she would rather die than fight for a way out for her daughter.

Seeing Jing Ni lower her proud head, Su Xuan also revealed a satisfied smile.

Immediately, Jing Ni discovered that the invisible force restraining her body had disappeared.

Jing Ni subconsciously prepared to continue attacking Su Xuan, but after thinking about Su Xuan's terrifying strength, she finally gave up.

She sheathed her long sword.

Yan Lingji walked over slowly and said in a soft voice, "This sister, from now on, we are our own people. Shouldn't you take off your mask and reveal your true face!"

After hearing Yan Lingji's words, Jing Ni's brows behind the mask twitched. Finally, according to Yan Lingji's words, she took off her mask, revealing a bright and beautiful face.

After seeing Jing Ni's true face, Yan Lingji revealed an expression of "as expected."

Sure enough, this woman named Jing Ni was not bad-looking.

She gradually understood Su Xuan's conditions for accepting servants.

Whether the strength was strong or not was not important; anyway, it was not as strong as Su Xuan, but they absolutely had to be good-looking.

"Take me to see your daughter!"

Su Xuan said to Jing Ni again.

Jing Ni's brows twitched again, but she still responded, "Yes!"

Because of meeting Jing Ni, after Su Xuan and his party came down from the mountain where the Kuiwei Hall was located, they turned and went to the hall of the Lieshan Hall.

Fortunately, these two hills were not far apart, and besides the purple-haired girl whose strength was a bit weak, the rest of the people on this trip were experts. Going down the mountain and going up the mountain were not hard things for them.

Soon, everyone arrived at the hall of the Lieshan Hall.

Most of the disciples in the Lieshan Hall had previously gone to the Kuiwei Hall to participate in the siege of Su Xuan. After that battle ended, the surviving Lieshan Hall disciples returned to the hall with lingering fears, but they did not expect that not long after returning, the demon Su Xuan would come to the Lieshan Hall again.

This caused the surviving Lieshan Hall disciples to be terrified.

They fled one after another, letting Su Xuan lead everyone into the Lieshan Hall.

Jing Ni led Su Xuan and the others to a place in the back hall of the Lieshan Hall.

As Jing Ni approached, a little girl who looked seven or eight years old walked over slowly. Looking at Jing Ni, she appeared a bit excited, "Mother!"

Previously, her mother suddenly revealed a side she had never seen before, which shocked her immensely. Although she was not old, she was very smart and immediately realized what her mother was preparing to do.

But she was powerless to stop all this and could only watch her mother leave, then worry about her secretly here.

She did not expect that her mother would actually return, and it looked like nothing had happened.

"Is this your daughter, Ji Yan?" Su Xuan looked at the little girl before him and said indifferently.

The reason it was Ji Yan, and not Wei Yan, was because in this era, women used their surnames but not their clans. Just like Lord Changping, who was clearly named Xiong Qi, but his daughter was called Mi Lian. Of course, this was also a privilege that only nobles had.

Although Wei Wuji was of the Wei clan, he had the surname Ji.

Although the Zhou Dynasty had been annihilated, the surname Ji had spread. In today's world, there were countless nobles who were related to the surname Ji.

After hearing Su Xuan's words, Jing Ni's expression changed again. Although Su Xuan did not say the word "Wei" in this sentence, the surname "Ji" actually revealed who her daughter's biological father was.

She did not expect that Su Xuan would even know about this.

After being silent for a while, Jing Ni nodded and said: "Yes!"

Su Xuan received confirmation and also began to look at the little girl with double ponytails before him again.
