Chapter 227 Until we meet again.
Chapter 227 Until we meet again.
Upon arriving in Dali, Yang Ke went directly to the Prince's Mansion where Duan Zhengchun resided that evening.
At this time, Duan Zhengchun was also very depressed. After all, his son had died, and the princess had divorced him, but he couldn't say anything.
There isn't a proper prince in Dali now, and Duan Zhengming originally wanted to give up everything to become a monk, but that's no longer an option.
Dao Baifeng's family is the largest tribe in Dali. Now that her son Duan Yu is dead, if she follows Duan Zhengchun, she will not only get nothing, but she will also have to use her family's wealth to support outsiders.
The main problem is that the Duan family has no male heirs, so the only option is for Duan Zhengchun to have another son and raise him for a few more years. In that case, these benefits would not go to Dao Baifeng's family.
Duan Zhengchun is actually doing alright. After his grief subsided, what he's more conflicted about now is who to have a child with.
Yeah, that's the downside of being a jerk – too many choices, which is a real hassle.
"Scumbag!"
Yang Ke knew all this because he entered the study and saw him deep in thought, so he used his soul-capturing technique to learn about the situation.
"Since that's what you want, then I'll help you."
Yang Ke figured out how to complete the task as quickly as possible, so he controlled Duan Zhengchun to start writing letters.
He simply had Duan Zhengchun bring Qin Hongmian and Ruan Xingzhu over, so he wouldn't have to go through all that trouble himself.
As for Li Qingluo, we can write to her later, but there's no need to ask her to come over immediately.
After Yang Ke went to Leigu Mountain, he planned to take Wang Yuyan back to Mantuo Manor. If Li Qingluo came, wouldn't that delay his plans?
After dealing with Duan Zhengchun's matter, Yang Ke went to the Dali Royal Palace.
"Who is coming!"
Yang Ke's slight display of his aura immediately caught Duan Zhengming's attention.
"What brings you to the Dali Palace so suddenly?"
Duan Zhengming was initially furious, but after sensing the terrifying aura emanating from Yang Ke, he quickly cupped his hands and inquired.
"It's nothing, I just want to have another obedient subordinate."
Yang Ke used the Six Meridian Divine Sword to strike Duan Zhengming's acupoint from a distance, and then threw him a Three Corpse Brain God Pill.
"Six Meridians Divine Sword!"
Are you a senior figure in Dali?
Duan Zhengming was extremely shocked.
It's important to know that the learning conditions for the Six Meridians Divine Sword are quite demanding. You can't learn this move if you're not proficient in One Finger Divine Skill, let alone someone who isn't talented enough, who can only master one finger at most.
But let's not even talk about the Six Meridians Divine Sword being stolen; even if it hadn't been stolen, no one would have mastered this move.
"I am from the Free and Unfettered Sect. I took the Six Meridians Divine Sword, but I have no interest in Dali. As long as you don't bother me, your Duan family can live in peace."
"The place I live in now is the Valley of Ten Thousand Hatreds that you attacked before, now renamed Valley of Freedom."
"You should arrange for someone to wait outside the valley every year for this Three Corpse Brain God Pill. I will give you the antidote. If there is no antidote..."
"Oh, by the way, I'm not a Grandmaster."
Yang Ke previously killed a group of Dali soldiers in Wanchou Valley. If we don't deal with this, it would be bad if Dali sent troops to attack and destroy Xiaoyao Valley.
As for that final aerial maneuver, Duan Zhengming dared not ask any more questions.
Yang Ke was very satisfied with Duan Zhengming's expression and went straight back to Yuxu Temple.
"you.."
Dao Baifeng was just about to rest when she discovered Yang Ke had arrived, which surprised her.
"Didn't we say we'd meet again sometime?"
Yang Ke chuckled and made a joke.
"I."
Dao Baifeng wanted to say something more, but it was too late.
Day 2.
"Where are you going?"
Dao Baifeng had just woken up when she saw Yang Ke changing his clothes and preparing to leave, so she asked him a question.
"I have some things to take care of, I'll come over tonight."
Yang Ke smiled and waved his hand, then used his light-footed skill to leave Yuxu Temple.
He still needed to go back to Xiaoyao Valley to get Zhong Ling's reward, and after Qin Hongmian and Ruan Xingzhu got their rewards, he planned to take Wang Yuyan to Leigu Mountain.
"Brother Yang."
Zhong Ling greeted Yang Ke as soon as she saw him return.
"Hmm, how does it feel to be back here?"
Yang Ke put his arm around Zhong Ling and asked her a question.
"Brother Yang, please don't do this. My mother and Sister Wanqing are watching."
Zhong Ling was a little embarrassed, but Gan Baobao, Mu Wanqing, and the others had long regarded Zhong Ling as Yang Ke's person, so they weren't surprised.
"Son."
Azhu and Abi greeted Yang Ke as he approached.
"Alright, from now on, you're no longer a maidservant to me; you're all my women."
Yang Ke waved his hand, signaling Azhu and Abi not to be too reserved.
"Good son."
Throughout the journey, it was clear that Yang Ke was indeed very approachable.
After having lunch together, Yang Ke brought Zhong Ling to the valley in Xiaoyao Valley.
The reason this place is called a valley is because it is a natural basin with valleys, and the scenery is quite beautiful.
"Zhong Ling, from now on you'll be a good girl and follow your Brother Yang."
Yang Ke looked at Zhong Ling carefully and said.
Actually, Zhong Ling has a very good personality; she's cheerful, lively, and not jealous of others.
"kindness."
Zhong Ling blushed and replied.
"Congratulations, host, on successfully winning over Zhong Ling. Reward: +3 to all attributes."
Zhong Ling's reward was indeed mediocre, and she didn't even appear as many times as her mother, so her reward was naturally very poor.
Over the next few days, Yang Ke only went to Duan Zhengchun's residence to ask for a few maids with respectable backgrounds, and occasionally went out at night to see Dao Baifeng, until...
"Red Cotton, you've come."
Yang Ke, disguised as Duan Zhengchun, greeted Qin Hongmian warmly upon her arrival.
Qin Hongmian hadn't seen Duan Zhengchun for a long time either. The main reason was that she had gone to the wooden house where Mu Wanqing lived a while ago to look for her but couldn't find her. Fortunately, she found a letter left by Mu Wanqing, which put her at ease.
However, she also arrived at the Prince's Mansion when Duan Yu died, mainly because something had happened to Gan Baobao's Wanchou Valley, and she was really confused at that time.
Fortunately, Duan Zhengchun knew where she frequented and arranged for someone to find her. In addition, Qin Hongmian learned that Gan Baobao was alright and Mu Wanqing had returned to Dali, so she dared to come over.
"Brother Chun."
Qin Hongmian had no idea that Duan Zhengchun had sought her out for that reason.
Thinking back to his previous defeat to Dao Baifeng, he came here determined to take everything back.
"Hongmian, you know my current situation, so let's not waste any more time."
"Duan Zhengchun" said to Qin Hongmian very urgently.
"Yeah, Chun-ge, you're really something."
Qin Hongmian and Duan Zhengchun were old acquaintances, so naturally she had nothing to be embarrassed about.
After the two entered the bedroom, everything seemed normal at first, but Qin Hongmian was soon dumbfounded.
"Brother Chun, what's wrong?"
Qin Hongmian asked in surprise.
"Well, people in middle age soak goji berries, cough cough, actually it's just a special method of our Dali royal family, otherwise how would we have many offspring?"
Yang Ke naturally knew why Qin Hongmian was surprised, so he made up an excuse to brush it off.
With the divine mask, his appearance and physique were exactly the same as Duan Zhengchun's. In addition, Yang Ke had already figured out some details of their lives using the Soul-Capturing Technique, so naturally Qin Hongmian wouldn't notice anything.
