It was now the tenth day; he was drenched in sweat, covered in dust, his back and waist aching. As he pulled out another earthworm, he suddenly froze and turned to look at the girl crouched on the field ridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl was about eleven or twelve, dressed in a colorful five-hued robe, her long braid hanging down, her eyes brimming with mirth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Auntie, good day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng felt a headache coming on at the sight of the girl, but he still smiled at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl was Shangguan Xue’er, sister of Shangguan Feiyan; she was only twelve, spoke little truth, and like her sister, loved to trick people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou had been outside Wan Mei Manor when Shangguan Xue’er tricked a hunter into believing she was Lu Xiaofeng’s auntie—so now, upon meeting her, Lu Xiaofeng addressed her as “Auntie.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good nephew.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xue’er waved her hand, grinning at Lu Xiaofeng. “How many earthworms do you still owe?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng’s mind stirred. “How do you know I’m digging earthworms here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xue’er propped her chin on her hand, delighted. “Of course Sikong Zhaixing told us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sikong Zhaixing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng asked, “Why would he tell you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xue’er smiled. “It’s a long story.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then make it short!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng said sternly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anyway, it all starts with Huoxiu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xue’er said cheerfully, “Huoxiu sent Sikong Zhaixing to steal back [Shangguan Danfeng], mainly to trick you… but things went wrong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When mentioning Shangguan Danfeng, Shangguan Xue’er showed a hint of sadness, yet the story still made her want to laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huoxiu’s plan had been meticulously prepared, especially to fool Lu Xiaofeng—he had arranged everything. After seizing the Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion, he intended for Sikong Zhaixing to capture [Shangguan Danfeng], thereby making Lu Xiaofeng suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sikong Zhaixing is very busy in the Jianghu; people must book him in advance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So when ten bells ring, nine times he’s there!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huoxiu failed suddenly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your sister’s betrayal was sudden too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So Sikong Zhaixing, unaware, captured her when she was impersonating [Shangguan Danfeng] and returning to reclaim the Jin Peng Dynasty’s assets—he took her straight to the Qingyi Tower.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xue’er said solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahahahaha…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng burst into laughter on the ground, clutching his stomach—he could already picture Sikong Zhaixing bringing [Shangguan Danfeng] to the Qingyi Tower and seeing Huoxiu locked in a cage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng had been digging earthworms all this time, filled with resentment toward Sikong Zhaixing; hearing of his misfortune, he rolled on the ground with glee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then what? What happened next?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng asked eagerly, staring at Shangguan Xue’er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sikong Zhaixing was, of course, locked up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xue’er said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng nodded eagerly. “Did you torture him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xue’er said. “I let him go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let him go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng cried out in disbelief, his voice heavy with disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course I let him go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xue’er beamed. “While he was in the cage, I told him to find a way to make me laugh. If he succeeded, I’d free him. He racked his brain—told me jokes, performed acrobatics—I didn’t laugh. Finally, he sat on the ground in despair and said, ‘Too bad Lu Xiaojī isn’t here—I’d make him peck earthworms.’ That made me laugh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng’s smile vanished completely. He understood now why he was suffering—he looked at Shangguan Xue’er’s beaming face and felt he’d met a little demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did Shangguan Feiyan let him go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng muttered bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xue’er grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She didn’t blame you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng asked in astonishment. Sikong Zhaixing had many secrets, many treasures—how could such a man, captured by the ruthless Shangguan Feiyan, be released so easily?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xue’er’s eyes gleamed with pride. “Do you know I’m Gu Qing’s wife, while Shangguan Feiyan is just a concubine?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here we go again…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng shook his head. The first time they met, Shangguan Xue’er had lied to him, claiming she was a twenty-year-old sister, and [Shangguan Danfeng] was the eighteen-year-old younger sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t disbelieve me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xue’er said proudly. “The moment I met Gu Qing, he was instantly captivated—his eyes never left me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng actually laughed. Shangguan Xue’er was far from mature—this lie was hard to believe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But don’t you know there are men who like girls like me—girls my age?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xue’er glared at Lu Xiaofeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng felt a chill. Slowly, he turned to study her. The girl was twelve, yet tears welled in her eyes as she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, she had suffered great injustice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When I met Gu Qing, he asked my age. I said twenty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xue’er spoke, voice tinged with grievance, tears held back. “But Gu Qing went mad—he picked me up and said, ‘Perfect! Legal!’ Then he threw me onto the bed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about your sister?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng forced out the question, barely containing his rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That woman held me down.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xue’er said. “You know—she only wants to please Gu Qing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Monster!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng cursed involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xue’er fumed. “He already had me, yet he even tried to rape a sixty-year-old woman!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng sucked in a breath, staring at her in shock. “A sixty-year-old woman?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes! A sixty-year-old woman!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gu Qing tried to rape a sixty-year-old woman?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng felt this was all absurd—beyond anything he could comprehend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did the old woman look like? What did she do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng asked. He knew a few elderly women—old, but well-preserved, still attractive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She sold candied chestnuts!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xue’er said. “I went to buy some. Gu Qing came up, didn’t pay, just stared at the old woman selling chestnuts and said, ‘If I eat one, can I see your face?’ The old woman gave him five chestnuts and said, ‘Eat them, and I’ll let you see my chest.’ Gu Qing took five more and said, ‘And what if I eat these?’ The old woman sneered, ‘After you eat them all, I’ll strip naked and sleep with you!’ So Gu Qing ate every last chestnut.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng frowned. “And then?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then the old woman ran away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xue’er said. “Gu Qing tried to chase her, but I held him back—I didn’t want him to commit a sin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng felt dizzy. “Anything else?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xue’er thought. “Actually, yes. On the way here, Gu Qing wanted to beat up an old man.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beat up an old man?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng asked. “What did the old man look like?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man Gu Qing wanted to fight must have been a master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gu Qing moved too fast—I didn’t see the old man. I just heard him say he wanted to fight. The old man said, ‘Let’s play chess instead.’ Gu Qing shouted, ‘I only know Liu Qi’s chess style!’ Then he grabbed the chessboard and smashed it at the old man. The old man ran off immediately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xue’er recounted the incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng knew Liu Qi—he played chess without caring for individual moves, instead seeing the whole board, even smashing opponents with the board to win. Hearing Shangguan Xue’er’s tale, Lu Xiaofeng tore at his hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this short time, how had Gu Qing become a great villain?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1249,"2026-06-20T17:04:26.501Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2f94144d0d9906b6cec6ef54bb8929ba1bb03c27c12586f25592b984975e2dfe","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-92","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-90",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fliving-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-cover.jpg"]
