Chapter 290

The two engaged in a tempestuous union; during their intimacy, even though Yue Lingshan was no match for him, she tried her best to accommodate him, but in the end, she was truly willing but lacked the strength to turn the tide, and helplessly suffered defeat.

At this moment, the bright moon hung 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 ran into Yunluo, who had snuck out of the palace. I don't know why this girl snuck out.】

【She said that after Zhu Wushi told her about my exploits on Mount Wudang, she felt a yearning and wanted to become my disciple, which is why she snuck out.】

【I don't know if this was intentionally guided by Zhu Wushi. If he did it on purpose, then why did he trick Yunluo into coming out and then send Liusheng Danmashou and the others to capture her? Was it for the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom?】

【That seems to be the only possibility, but did Zhu Wushi know so early on that the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom was in Yunluo's hands?】

【Then does he know that the last Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom is in Cao Zhengchun's hands?】

"Foster father wants to capture Princess Yunluo? For the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom in her hands? What is that thing?"

Shangguan Haitang was completely confused after reading this.

【Unfortunately, some memories from the Comprehensive Martial Arts World are useless and will instead affect my judgment.】

【Although this matter doesn't have much to do with me, since Yunluo wants to stay by my side, I will protect her, and not even Zhu Wushi will be able to lay a hand on her.】

【However, I killed Liusheng Danmashou to save Yunluo; does this count as a huge loss for me?】

【After all, Yunluo is just one person, but Liusheng Xueji and Liusheng Piaoxu are two people.】

【That's not right either. It's not certain if Xueji is still alive now; she might have already died to save Duan Tianya.】

"Who said I'm just one person? I have Xiaonu as my dowry maid. Two for two, you're not losing out!"

Seeing this, Yunluo couldn't help but speak up.

"Who is 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!"

At this moment, far away in the Liusheng family's ancestral land in Fusang, Liusheng Xueji muttered to herself while looking at the diary copy.

"Father said that to kill someone, you don't necessarily have to fight them; striking from the shadows is more concise. 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!"

Liusheng 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, let me go instead!"

Liusheng Xueji disagreed; an older sister is like a mother, and she should take good care of her younger sister. If someone needs to offer themselves to complete the assassination, then let her be the one to do it!

【However, Liusheng Piaoxu is also very beautiful, and like her sister, she fell in love with Duan Tianya and eventually married him as she wished.】

【It's a pity that, like Liusheng Danmashou, she worked for Zhu Wushi.】

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

"What exactly does foster father want to do? Recruiting so many martial arts experts and killing high-ranking imperial officials—could it be that he wants to rebel?"

"Did I die under Liusheng Piaoxu's 'Snow Drifting in the Human World'? Am I a lingering regret in Lin Fan's heart?"

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

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

【I have to say, the two of them are quite good friends. Even knowing I was going to kill Qin Gui, they were still willing to accompany me into that dragon's den and tiger's lair.】

【However, I still politely declined them. Although Qin Gui's manor is just an ordinary place to me, wiping out the entire Prime Minister's manor in broad daylight is simply 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 vortex, especially the Hua family; with their large family and business, they won't fare well if they go up against 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, which 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 killed Zhao Gou, the Southern Song would fall into civil strife over the throne, and the Jin Kingdom and the Mongols would 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, so that old guy Zhao Gou escaped death at my hands by luck.】

【Li Chimei, that Mongol hermaphrodite, actually appeared and even wanted to save Qin Gui. Could it be that Qin Gui also has ties to 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; and his hidden identity is a Mongol spy?】

【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 fierce battle, notify the Mongols to wipe out both the Jin Kingdom and the Southern Song in one go?】

【That's also possible. Political struggles are simply too complex and not suitable for me!】

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

【However, these are not things I should consider. I still prefer the company of beauties and riding through the Jianghu.】

【Qin Mengyao of the Cihang Jingzhai found me and even wanted to use me as a cultivation furnace to help her step into the realm of the Death Pass. How could it be that easy? Once you board the pirate ship, you aren't 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, and then abandon everything to sit in a death pass to seek the Heavenly Dao. This is simply not treating men as people, but as furnaces, tools, and whetstones?】

【I can't tolerate this. Since Qin Mengyao took the initiative to deliver herself to me, she shouldn't think about running away.】

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

【Forget it, I won't think about that much. I'd better get some rest early. I'll write this much for today!】

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

Qin Mengyao muttered to herself.

"Diary owner Lin Fan has completed his diary check-in. Now beginning to draw diary rewards... Congratulations to Yunluo for obtaining the Youth-Preserving Elixir. After using it, one can permanently fix their appearance and become immune to aging."
