Chapter 179

The two engaged in a storm of passion; in the midst of their intimacy, Yue Yue Lingshan, though no match for him, tried her best to accommodate him, but in the end, she was truly willing but unable to turn the tide, and helplessly suffered defeat.

By now, the bright moon was in the sky, and it was past midnight, so Lin Fan began to write his diary.

[A new day begins, and I have to write in my diary again. Too many things happened today. First, I met Yun Luo, who had snuck out of the palace. I have no idea why this girl slipped out.]

[She said she was yearning to become my disciple after Zhu Zhu Wushi told her about my deeds on Mount Mount Wudang, which is why she snuck out.]

[I wonder if Zhu Zhu Wushi guided this intentionally. If he was, why would he trick Yun Luo into coming out and then send Liu Sheng Danma Shou and the others to capture her? Is it for the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom?]

[That seems to be the only possibility, but did Zhu Zhu Wushi know this early on that the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom was in Yun Luo's hands?]

[Does he know that the last Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom is in Cao Dali Duan Zhengchun's hands?]

["Foster Father wants to capture Princess Yun Luo? For the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom in her hands? What is that thing?"]

Shangguan Shangguan Haitang was completely confused after reading this.

[It's a pity that in this comprehensive martial arts world, some memories are useless and will instead affect my judgment.]

[Although this matter doesn't have much to do with me, since Yun Luo wants to stay by my side, I will protect her, and not even Zhu Zhu Wushi will be allowed to lay a hand on her.]

[However, killing Liu Sheng Danma Shou to save Yun Luo—did I lose out on this deal?]

[After all, Yun Luo is just one person, but Liu Sheng Xueji and Liu Sheng Yagyu Piaoxu are two.]

[Wait, no, it's not even certain if Xueji is still alive now; she might have already died to save Dali Duan Dali Duan Tianya.]

["Who says I'm just one person? I also have Xiao Nu as my dowry maid. Two for two, you didn't lose out!"]

Seeing this, Yun Luo couldn't help but speak up.

["Who is Dali Duan Dali Duan Tianya, and why would I die to save him? But Lin Fan actually killed my father. What should I do? Take revenge on him? But I'm no match for him!"]

Far away in the ancestral lands of the Liu Sheng family in Fusang, Liu Sheng Xueji muttered to herself while looking at the diary copy.

["Father said that to kill someone, you don't necessarily have to fight them; attacking from the shadows is simpler. We are ninjas; we only care about the result, not the process. I will be the one to kill Lin Fan. As long as I am willing to offer myself, he will surely lower his guard, and I will kill him the moment he releases his guard to avenge Father!"]

Liu Sheng Yagyu Piaoxu walked in and said coldly.

At this moment, she was also holding a copy of the diary in her hand.

["No, I am the older sister, I should go!"]

Liu Sheng Xueji disagreed. The eldest sister is like a mother; she should take good care of her younger sister. If someone needs to offer themselves to complete the assassination, let her be the one to do it!

[However, Liu Sheng Yagyu Piaoxu is also very beautiful, and like her sister, she fell in love with Dali Duan Dali Duan Tianya and eventually married him as she wished.]

[It's a pity that, like Liu Sheng Danma Shou, she was working for Zhu Zhu Wushi.]

[And later, when she killed Scholar Fu to frame Guihai Guihai Yidao, Shangguan Shangguan Haitang discovered the clues, so she killed Shangguan Shangguan Haitang with the 'Snow Drifting in the Human World'. Shangguan Shangguan Haitang's death can be considered a matter of lingering regret!]

["What exactly does Foster Father want to do? Recruiting so many martial arts experts and killing high-ranking court officials—could it be that he wants to rebel?"]

["Did I die under Liu Sheng Yagyu Piaoxu's 'Snow Drifting in the Human World'? Am I a matter of lingering regret in Lin Fan's heart?"]

The content of Lin Fan's diary left Shangguan Shangguan Haitang feeling lost, and also left Liu Sheng Xueji and Liu Sheng Yagyu Piaoxu stunned.

[On the way to the capital, I met Lu Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Hua Manlou, so we traveled together.]

[I have to say, the two of them are quite loyal friends. Even knowing I was going to kill Qin Gui, they were still willing to accompany me into that den of tigers.]

[However, I politely declined them. Although the Qin residence is just an ordinary place to me, wiping out the entire Prime Minister's residence in broad daylight is essentially slapping Zhao Gou in the face, and he will definitely hold a grudge.]

[I don't care about myself, but it's better not to drag them into this whirlpool, especially the Hua family; they have a large estate and many assets, and they won't fare well if they clash with the imperial dynasty.]

["I didn't expect Lin Fan to be so good to his friends, not wanting to drag them into trouble."]

Some female warriors' impressions of Lin Fan greatly improved after reading this. Although Lin Fan was a bit promiscuous—er, a bit amorous—he was loyal and righteous to his friends. As for having many women, that was just the romantic nature of a young man; it was understandable.

[Nowadays, not only is the Jin Kingdom eyeing the Southern Song with hostility, but even the Mongols are secretly watching the Southern Song, unwilling to be outdone. The fall of the Southern Song is just a matter of a single thought. If I kill Zhao Gou, the Southern Song will fall into civil strife over the throne, and the Jin and Mongols will definitely send troops.]

[Although I won't go to guard the borders to protect the country, I won't personally push this corrupt dynasty to collapse instantly either, so the old brat Zhao Gou has luckily escaped death at my hands.]

[Li Li Chimei, that Mongol hermaphrodite, actually appeared and even wanted to save Qin Gui. Could it be that Qin Gui is also involved with the Mongols? What is his identity? On the surface, he is the Prime Minister of the Southern Song; in reality, he is a lackey of the Jin Kingdom; is his hidden identity a Mongol mole?]

[Could it be that Qin Gui wants to use the Jin Kingdom to attack the Southern Song, and when the two countries are locked in battle, notify the Mongols to wipe out both the Jin and the Southern Song in one go?]

[That's also possible. Political struggles are just too complicated; they don't suit me!]

[I don't know what the Mongols will plan now that Qin Gui is dead, but with a great war about to break out, without Qin Gui causing trouble, Zhao Gou will surely release Yue Fei, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't just be a muddled emperor, but a fool. Zhao Gou shouldn't be that stupid yet.]

[But these aren't things I should be considering. I prefer having beauties by my side and roaming the world on horseback.]

[Qin Qin Mengyao of the Cihang Cihang Jingzhai found me and even wanted to use me as a furnace, hoping to use me to step into the realm of the 'Dead Pass'. How could it be that easy? Once you've boarded the pirate ship, you're not allowed to get off.]

[What kind of nonsense is the Cihang Sword Manual? First, you have to love a man to death, reaching the extreme of emotion and love, then abandon everything and sit in a 'Dead Pass' to seek the Heavenly Dao. This is simply not treating men as human beings, but as furnaces, tools, and whetstones?]

[I can't tolerate this. Since Qin Qin Mengyao has delivered herself to my door, she shouldn't think about running away.]

[However, Lu Lu Xiaofeng seems to have lingering fears about the people of Cihang Cihang Jingzhai. Could it be that he was hunted by them? Was it Fan Fan Qinghui, Bi Bi Xiuxin, or Yan Jing'an?]

[Forget it, I won't think about it so much. Better to get some rest early. That's all for today!]

["Lin Fan, I will definitely find a way from you to enter the 'Dead Pass' and even pass through it. When that time comes, it won't be so easy for you to keep me."]

Qin Qin Mengyao muttered to herself.

["Diary owner Lin Fan has completed the diary check-in. Now starting to draw diary rewards... Congratulations to Yun Luo for obtaining the Youth-Preserving Pill. After use, one's appearance can be permanently frozen, granting immunity to aging."]
