Chapter 83: Sudden Change

"Please pass the message, the Deputy General Song and I want to pay respects to the Second Madam and Lady Lady Tianfeng."

Song Song Changqing and Wei Wu were shut out; the guards outside simply wouldn't let them in, and even after reporting their names, they only helped call General Guan Zhong.

General Guan Zhong had a mocking look on his fat face, "Back at Flying Immortal Ferry, I didn't see you being so diligent; when I called you to serve the Master, you pushed back and forth, and even harbored evil intentions."

Wei Wu handed over a flattering smile and said softly, "We haven't seen the Steward for the first time since the Battle of Flying Immortal Ferry."

"Even if the Steward is unhappy and wants to prick us a few times, we have let the Steward drive and scold us for the past few days, so there's no need for it today, right?"

"After all, it's getting late, don't delay the Madam and the Young Lady from resting."

General Guan Zhong hummed, and indeed stopped mocking them.

"Being able to think of coming to pay respects to the Madam and the Young Lady shows that your conscience hasn't completely rotted."

General Guan Zhong brought the two into the inn's lobby, but didn't go to the back to find Lady Wen.

"The Second Madam is teaching Miss Yu sword techniques; you can sit here and wait for news. If the Madam is willing to give you a chance, I will come back and call you."

Song Song Changqing said, "Is Lady Lady Tianfeng also in the back courtyard?"

General Guan Zhong shook his head, "Lady Lady Tianfeng is tired from the journey and is too lazy to come out and bother."

Song Song Changqing stood up and said, "Then let's pay respects to Lady Lady Tianfeng first."

General Guan Zhong frowned and said, "What kind of stupid talk is that! You, an adult male outsider, how is it appropriate to see an unmarried young lady?"

Song Song Changqing said, "Didn't you go to pay respects to Lady Lady Tianfeng after you came over?"

"Just asking for greetings outside the door is enough; who would go and hope for Lady Lady Tianfeng to entertain personally?"

General Guan Zhong had indeed gone to pay respects to Lady Lady Tianfeng the first time, but didn't see anyone.

"Follow me."

Contrary to General Guan Zhong's expectations, Lady Lady Tianfeng opened the courtyard door and let Song Song Changqing in.

"Hey, Wei Wu, you stay here; the Young Lady only called Song Song Changqing."

Wei Wu wanted to follow in, but was stopped by General Guan Zhong.

And General Guan Zhong himself also guarded outside and didn't follow in.

Lady Lady Tianfeng specifically asked to see only Song Song Changqing, and didn't even want to see him.

"Have you seen the Marquis of Lord Lieyang?" General Guan Lady Tianfeng looked at Song Changqing with eager eyes, her little face slightly flushed, "What does he look like? Is he good-looking? Is he really only twenty-one years old?"

Song Song Changqing glanced at her and said, "General General Guan has seen the Marquis of Lord Lieyang more times."

Lady Tianfeng straightened her face and scolded, "You stinking military man, old ignoramus, you let me go ask my father? Do you want my father to beat me to death too?"

Song Song Changqing's heart moved, and he said expressionlessly, "You can ask your sister quietly; she has also seen the Marquis of Lord Lieyang."

"Which one is my sister?"

Lady Tianfeng asked suspiciously, and then seemed to understand something; the pretty face that was still full of girlish spring just a moment ago instantly twisted and deformed, full of malice and hatred.

She picked up a teacup and threw it at Song Changqing's face.

"Bang!"

Song Song Changqing could have dodged, but didn't, letting the teacup shatter on his forehead, his face covered in tea leaves.

"I'll hit you, this dirty black pig! That Sha barbarian bitch, how is she worthy of being my sister? I'll hit you, this stinking crooked thing~~" She threw one teacup and wasn't satisfied, so she went to get the teapot.

Song Song Changqing dodged and advised seriously, "Lady Lady Tianfeng, it's no problem for you to hit me, but you must not make the Madam angry; the Madam likes Miss Yu very much and is teaching her sword techniques!"

General Guan Lady Tianfeng put one hand on her hip, pointed at Song Changqing's nose, and scolded, "You stinking pig, you know nothing, my mother doesn't like her at all, that little barbarian dog is simply alive—"

She finally had a bit of rationality and swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth at the critical moment.

"Get out, get out!" she glared at him with the same phoenix eyes as Lady Wen and shouted.

Song Song Changqing bowed, said nothing, and turned to leave.

General Guan Zhong and Wei Wu both heard the commotion in the room and were now stretching their necks to look into the door.

"What's going on? Did you make the Young Lady angry?"

Song Song Changqing shook his head, "The Young Lady asked what the Marquis of Lord Lieyang looked like, whether he was handsome, etc., and I didn't know how to answer."

A simple sentence made Wei Wu and General Guan Zhong close their mouths tightly, and the doubts in their hearts also dissipated by more than half.

After returning to the lobby, General Guan Zhong and Wei Wu gradually saw Song Song Changqing's hesitation and torment.

Song Song Changqing was still the same as usual, wearing a helmet and pulling down the face mask to cover his face.

His expression and eyes couldn't be seen, but Song Song Changqing seemed to have hemorrhoids on his buttocks, sitting very unsteadily on the chair.

From time to time, he would stand up, lower his head, and pace back and forth, as if calculating or struggling with something.

"What's wrong with you?" After General Guan Zhong walked away, Wei Wu asked in a low voice.

"Nothing."

"Sigh, to tell you the truth, I'm just like you, a bit worried. But at Flying Immortal Ferry, we really tried our best, did what we could, and have no regrets." Wei Wu sighed, thinking Song Song Changqing was worried about seeing Lady Wen and returning to Luodu to see General Guan General Guan Huchen later.

"No regrets..." Song Song Changqing muttered.

He gradually calmed down, returned to his seat, and stood like a stone-carved statue, not moving for a long time.

The sky outside darkened, and a maid brought candles for them.

After a while, General Guan Zhong trotted over and waved his hand, "Get out, get out of here."

"What?" Wei Wu was confused.

"The Madam's original words, let you get out, get out of here," General Guan Zhong said.

"Ah, the Madam won't even see us..." Wei Wu was full of worry, looking anxiously at Song Song Changqing.

Song Song Changqing's voice was steady, "Is the Madam still with Miss Yu?"

General Guan Zhong shook his head, "Forget it, the Madam is completely free now, just waiting for dinner! But she still refuses to see you."

Wei Wu heard this, and the worry on his face grew thicker.

"I'll go see Miss Yu," Song Song Changqing stood up.

"See Miss Yu for what? You haven't seen her enough these days? Go back, don't bother," General Guan Zhong waved his hand impatiently.

Wei Wu's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Song Tou's brain is still flexible; the Madam likes Miss Yu so much, if we let Miss Yu help put in a good word... Miss Yu is also a party involved in Flying Immortal Ferry, and knows our merits and hardships very well."

"Is that so..." General Guan Zhong suddenly realized, but still shook his head, "Even if the Madam dotes on Miss Yu, it's not good to defy the Madam's will at this time; it's not good, not good."

When there was no fundamental conflict of interest, Old Zhong was really a loyal servant who was good at thinking for his master.

Wei Wu immediately said, "Miss Yu is very smart; she will certainly be able to grasp the timing."

General Guan Zhong began to hesitate.

Miss Yu was indeed smart and would not act recklessly.

Song Song Changqing said, "Both are young ladies; we have already paid respects to Lady Lady Tianfeng, so it is only right to go and see Miss Yu before leaving."

This time, General Guan Zhong was persuaded.

Miss Yu's status was certainly not as good as Lady Lady Tianfeng's, but there was no need to distinguish too much in small matters.

A moment later.

The West Courtyard where Xiao Yu was.

When Song Song Changqing and Wei Wu found her, Xiao Yu had just started dinner, and her mind was still using the Purple Mansion space to practice the "Wind Yin Treasure Mirror."

The first version of "Method to Destroy Wen Wen Danxia by Surprise and Secret Killing" had been completed in derivation long ago.

This was the simplest and most efficient method to destroy Lady Wen.

Before taking the Bone-Changing Pill and letting the Purple Mansion divine power evolve, she could only passively accept the simplest and most efficient method to destroy the father derived by the Purple Mansion; after taking the Bone-Changing Pill, the Purple Mansion evolved, and she could control the derivation route of the Purple Mansion to a limited extent.

Simplest and most efficient was naturally good, but it couldn't fully exert the full divine power of the Purple Mansion.

For example, General Guan Huchen had the Thousand-Mile Eye, and the efficiency of lurking and assassinating was not as good as rising up and attacking, and the method of destruction derived by the Purple Mansion was rising up and attacking.

Xiao Yu wanted to break the "Thousand-Mile Eye divine power."

So she changed to a lurking assassination targeting the Thousand-Mile Eye.

The second version of the "Method to Destroy the Immortal Eye Tiger" had not been completed yet.

Lady Wen didn't have the Thousand-Mile Eye, but she had the "Yin Wind Escape Sword Technique" that was like teleportation.

Her reaction was extremely fast, jumping out of ten steps after being startled, and the difficulty of rising up and attacking was higher than sneaking and assassinating.

Therefore, the first version of the "Method to Destroy Wen Wen Danxia" given by the Purple Mansion was an assassination targeting the weakness of the spiritual sense of the "Wind Yin Treasure Mirror" practitioner.

Xiao Yu wanted to crack the "Wind Yin Treasure Mirror" head-on, so she changed to the "Frontal Strong Killing Method," which was the most difficult and required slow derivation.

Even while eating, she devoted most of her energy to the Purple Mansion derivation, appearing a bit mentally dazed and absent-minded.

"You haven't had dinner yet, right? What are you looking for me for?"

With guests visiting, Xiao Yu put down her bowl and chopsticks and left the side hall where she was eating.

"Miss Yu, we want to ask you to help—"

Before Wei Wu finished speaking, Song Song Changqing suddenly stared behind Xiao Yu and shouted angrily, "Who is hiding there, come out!"

"No one is hiding—"

Before Xiao Yu could turn her head, Song Song Changqing had already rushed to her side.

She thought his target was someone behind her, but she didn't expect Song Song Changqing's true energy to explode, his palm tilted, and it hit the back of her neck squarely.

Xiao Yu felt as if she had hit a heavy truck driving at high speed, her head felt stuffy, and she fell into a coma.

Song Song Changqing changed his palm into a claw, his five fingers surrounded by Tiger Soul fierce true energy, like a sharp tiger claw.

"Puchi puchi puchi~~~"

The tiger claw clicked on Xiao Yu's spine, making a crisp sound of bone cracking, and then blood seeped from the wound, printing peach-like bloodstains on her goose-yellow coat.

First the spine, then the shoulder blades and both arms.

Finally, he exhaled and shouted, the tiger claw turned back into a palm, and he printed a palm on Xiao Yu's heart, true energy surging, standing still.

Only to see strands of black-red fierce tiger true energy, along his arm, spreading to Xiao Yu's whole body.

He began to sweat on his forehead, clenched his teeth, and insisted to the death.

Xiao Yu's body was surrounded by huge Tiger Soul true energy, and the blood flowing from her spine, arms, and shoulders became more and more.

"Song Song Changqing, what are you doing?"

Until this moment, the sluggish and dazed Wei Wu reacted and wanted to get close to push Song Song Changqing away, but the next moment, a force mixed with huge murderous intent fell on his head from the side.

"Bang—boom!" Wei Wu was hit and flew out sideways, crashing through the wooden door, falling into the courtyard, vomiting a mouthful of blood, and losing his breath, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

"Song Song Changqing, you have such guts!"

The murderous intent was not aimed at Wei Wu, but greater force and all the murderous intent fell on Song Song Changqing.

"Boom!"

Song Song Changqing took a hard hit on his back, and he was already vomiting blood while flying in mid-air.

"General Guan General Guan Shentong, stop!"

A cold, low shout stopped General Guan General Guan Shentong's next killing move.

"Master, he crippled the Sha barbarian Yu's sword bone; he deserves to die!"

General Guan General Guan Shentong shouted at the black shadow behind him, full of anger.

"General Guan General Guan Shentong, we are just servants; servants must have the duty of servants, don't make decisions for the master without authorization." The black shadow's tone was as flat as possible, but there was also an irrepressible anger and annoyance.

General Guan General Guan Shentong took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, walked to Song Song Changqing, grabbed his neck, lifted him up, and said coldly, "Why?"

Song Song Changqing's helmet had already been knocked off, and his ugly pig-bubble eyes and rotten melon face were all exposed.

But a brilliant smile bloomed on his face, "I don't talk to slaves. Guan Chenghuang of General Guan, I know you must have come; if you want to ask something, you have to open your mouth yourself."

"What is there to ask? You hate me, hate General Guan Huchen, hate every General Guan family member; if you can make us uncomfortable, you will be happy." The Guan Chenghuang of General Guan's gloomy sigh sounded beside Xiao Yu.

"Master, the subordinate is guilty!" The black shadow revealed the appearance of a green-faced, fanged ghost and knelt down to pay respects to the Guan Chenghuang of General Guan.

"Guan Laozu, we were careless, didn't expect Song Song Changqing to be so... Guan Laozu, can the Sha barbarian Yu still be saved?"

General Guan General Guan Shentong also knelt down; he didn't lower his head, his face and eyes full of expectation and trepidation. ===== CHAPTER 84 =====

"Guan Laozu, we were careless; we didn't expect Song Song Changqing to be so... Guan Laozu, can Sha Man Yu still be saved?"

General Guan General Guan Shentong also knelt down. He did not lower his head; his face and eyes were full of anticipation and anxiety.
