......

Shangguan Yunlan’s strands of green silk lightly brushed across Lu Xuan’s face, accompanied by a faint and serene fragrance, surrounding Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan, his expression calm, said without a hint of emotion: "Lady Yun Lan, although I was born into a family renowned for medicine, my sole pursuit has always been the arduous cultivation of martial arts."

"Therefore, I did not learn any medical skills from my father."

"I am truly sorry to disappoint you, Lady Yun Lan."

Lu Xuan was only a bit surprised that Shangguan Yunlan had accurately revealed his background.

But after thinking it over, Lu Xuan found it quite normal.

After all, that Empress, who resides far away in the capital, has placed such importance on him.

Not only did she create a precedent by promoting him as the fourth Deputy Director of the Profound Bird Guard, but she also personally bestowed upon him a supreme spiritual object from heaven and earth.

These things were enough to prove that the Empress had likely already investigated his entire background thoroughly.

However, upon hearing Lu Xuan’s refusal, a trace of astonishment appeared on Shangguan Yunlan’s beautiful face, her body stiffening in place.

What!

Her one and only attempt to entice Lu Xuan with her beauty was utterly dismissed.

Lu Xuan’s words made Shangguan Yunlan begin to doubt her own allure.

Even though her skills of seducing men were not as good as the women of the Plum Blossom Guard, her appearance was far beyond that of ordinary women.

Seeing Lu Xuan’s unchanging demeanor, Shangguan Yunlan suddenly felt challenged.

This Lu Xuan, faced with her beauty, could truly remain unaffected.

A light of defiance flashed through Shangguan Yunlan’s beautiful eyes.

Fine, I’ll go all out this time; I don’t believe you can always hold out.

"Is that so?"

"Mr. Lu, you are too modest."

"As an External Grandmaster Martial Artist, if you could use your martial energy to examine Yun Lan, perhaps you could discover the cause of her discomfort."

As she spoke, Shangguan Yunlan lifted her gentle and smooth hands, lightly placing them on the back of Lu Xuan’s hand.

Without waiting for Lu Xuan’s consent, Shangguan Yunlan directly guided Lu Xuan’s left hand to that softness...

Lu Xuan didn’t stop Shangguan Yunlan’s action, after all, benefits delivered to the door, as a normal man, why refuse?

Moreover, the reason Shangguan Yunlan gave was blatantly nonsensical.

As a Martial Artist with Inner Qi Perfection, she was speaking about feeling unwell.

Even if Lu Xuan were foolish, he’d understand Shangguan Yunlan’s true intentions.

Most likely, she was sent by the Great Xia Empress to test him.

At this time, Shangguan Yunlan’s expression suddenly became flustered.

She felt a surge of great power emanating from Lu Xuan’s left hand.

"You really..."

Shangguan Yunlan expected Lu Xuan to keep pretending nothing was happening.

Unexpectedly, he did not disguise it at all and began to exert strength.

Shangguan Yunlan’s glowing face turned red, lightly biting her lip, her body instinctively retreating backward, away from Lu Xuan. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Then, without a word, Shangguan Yunlan glanced deeply at Lu Xuan, her figure flickering, disappearing in a flash at the door!

Lu Xuan said nothing, just silently retracting his left hand.

This woman, quite inexplicable indeed.

If you truly act to satisfy your request, you aren’t pleased!

Enough!

Lu Xuan dismissed those strange thoughts, turning to take out his black embroidered box.

A supreme spiritual object from heaven and earth!

This legendary spiritual object of heaven and earth, how much system points can it bring?

Along with the spiritual objects Li Chengxing brought, they should be enough for Lu Xuan to break into the Divine Mansion Realm.

There were a total of three high-grade spiritual objects from heaven and earth, twenty medium-grade spiritual objects, and a hundred low-grade spiritual objects.

Lu Xuan planned to take out three high-grade spiritual objects, fifteen medium-grade spiritual objects, and seventy low-grade spiritual objects from the batch Li Chengxing brought.

Retreat!

This time, Lu Xuan had already told He Yan in advance that he was going into a death retreat.

No matter who it is, no one is allowed to disturb Lu Xuan, otherwise they will die!

Divine Mansion Realm!

Brilliant purple light shimmered in Lu Xuan’s eyes, and then his body transformed into scintillating starlight, disappearing within the room.

Naturally, a specific item was intentionally left on the table by Lu Xuan.

A token reflecting a glowing red radiance was placed there.

This token of the Deputy Director of the Profound Bird Guard, holding hidden secrets, he kept an eye on it.

Who knows if the Great Xia Empress has done something to this token.

Facing this Empress who stands at the peak of the Divine Mansion Realm, Lu Xuan chose to be cautious and did not dare to carry this mysterious token.

The powerful spiritual sense of a true master of the Divine Mansion Realm, none knows it better than Lu Xuan.

In the next moment, as Lu Xuan reappeared, he arrived in a secluded courtyard.

This courtyard was a secret chamber Lu Xuan had prepared temporarily, known only to He Yan.

In the main house, exquisite small wooden boxes were arrayed on the floor.

Each small wooden box contained spiritual objects from heaven and earth that make Martial Artists go mad.

Especially the four small boxes on the table, which contained a supreme spiritual object and three high-grade spiritual objects respectively.

Lu Xuan thought no further, casually opening the three small boxes before him.
