“I miscalculated.”

“I didn’t expect that guy to be more enduring and cunning than I imagined.

Even seeing my rapid progress in strength and the boiling murderous intent in my heart, he still managed to restrain himself from taking action.”

Even Zhou Ping’an, typically composed, almost lost his cool and cursed out loud at this moment.

Blood Change Transcendent Grand Martial Master is not just a flattering term among the people of Jianghu.

Once entering the Blood Exchange Realm,

one’s physical abilities, strength, and spirit immensely improve in all aspects.

As his five senses enhanced, at the moment Lin Huaiyu ceased his efforts, they burst forth into brilliant clarity.

When the first drop of Blood Essence condensed, a revolutionary transformation erupted inside his body.

His strength grew stronger.

His eyes saw further.

His nose could distinguish more scents. freēnovelkiss.com

His ears could even hear the sound of ants crawling dozens of feet away.

The faint heartbeat and the tiny sound of crushing grass underfoot could not escape his ears.

Especially, in the depths of his mind, that dense murderous intent shone like a candle in the dark, clearly visible.

It was as if someone was pointing a sword at his heart, sending shivers down his pores.

It wasn’t fear,

but excitement.

When Lin Huaiyu left and secretly hid in the nearby flower shade as a protector,

Zhou Ping’an sensed it again, that familiar aura

It was the [Divine Healer Celestial Child] Deng Yuanhua…

This guy, relentless in his vile intentions, came again seeking an opportunity to kill me.

Even, for a moment, Zhou Ping’an felt that his opponent was about to make a move.

Because his own progress had reached the point where it could not be ignored.

“Unfortunately, Third Miss Lin’s resolve wasn’t strong enough, and she showed flaws at the last moment.”

Zhou Ping’an thought carefully and immediately understood where the problem lay.

This rate of progress.

It not only scared the enemy,

but even scared his own people.

What a mess.

I’ll just have to look for another opportunity.

Not getting rid of that guy is like having a bone-deep maggot, tormenting me day and night.

“Next time I get the chance, I must learn a Superior Body Technique comparable to the [Ghostly Shadows Step]; this feeling of being kited isn’t really pleasant.”

Zhou Ping’an took a deep breath and submerged himself again in the practice of the Breathing Technique.

With plenty of Blood Fortifying Pills, his Blood Essence grew more robust by the day, improving rapidly every moment.

And he didn’t have to worry about the medicine’s potency being too mixed, making his foundation unstable.

Now, he just needed to put in more effort in grinding it out.

…

The next morning.

Little Jiu’er hadn’t finished her lessons yet.

Zhou Ping’an didn’t go to the dining hall for meals but instead took two extremely valuable Blood Fortifying Pills.

He crazily surged his Qi-Blood, enlarging his Blood Essence.

Just when he thought another uneventful day would pass,

he suddenly heard a series of subtle footsteps,

approaching slowly.

In his mind appeared the delicate, tender face of a young girl.

“Xiao Xue…”

Zhou Ping’an stopped his Breathing Technique, exhaled a long breath, got up from his cot, donned his clothes, and opened the door to welcome her.

“Miss Xue, why have you come here alone?”

Among the two main maids by Third Miss’s side, Xiao Cui was being trained by Lin Huaiyu as the overall manager of external affairs and her Sword Technique was quite formidable, nearly able to handle affairs on her own.

And Xiao Xue, basically, was more like a household manager.

This girl was gentle, meticulous in all aspects, especially in taking care of Little Jiu’er, which was quite reassuring.

Oftentimes, when Little Jiu’er came over to play at his place, it was Miss Xue who led her.

She even protected her during casual strolls in the city.

“Third Miss has requested to see you.

It’s about the Yamen’s people discussing the matter with Baicao Hall, and she asks if the Supplicant would spare a moment,” she said.

This matter involves me?

Oh, Lin Huaiyu has appointed me with the title of Supplicant.

Many protectors within the Lin Residence were dispatched, and the Protectorate Leader Lin Ziqi was injured by a surprise attack and hadn’t recovered yet.

Two martial masters who could have been promoted to Supplicant, Wang Yaozu and Fang Tielin,

Wang Yaozu, having defected during a critical moment to assassinate someone, was killed by my sword.

And Fang Tielin, who showed no prowess on the night of the attack, only managed to block two shots from the Black Mountain Bandits with his Transverse Training, then flew to the side, vomiting blood crazily.

This man obviously couldn’t handle great responsibilities.

As for Tang Lin’er, who hides his depth, he must still be secretly practicing that “Purifying World Lotus Body” Technique; right, I haven’t given him the Tidal Breathing Technique yet, nor has he come to ask about it.

“Miss Xue, tell me, if someone promises something that isn’t theirs to give, should they keep that promise?”

As he walked towards the Central Hall, seeing Xiao Xue following beside him with her head bowed, slightly awkward, Zhou Ping’an blinked thoughtfully and tested her with a question.

“Why doesn’t Supplicant Zhou go ask the young lady herself?”

Xiao Xue chuckled softly.

Yes.

Why did he never think to discuss this issue with Lin Huaiyu every time they were together?

Zhou Ping’an found it strange as well.

He hadn’t figured out his true feelings yet.

Then he saw Xiao Xue purse her lips in a smile, “Actually, the miss had already said, within this residence, you could at least make half of the decisions yourself, whatever you think, just decide on your own.”

As she spoke, the head maid seemed to think of something, and a blush rose on her cheeks.

“That’s really good then.”

Zhou Ping’an was stunned.

Although he knew that Lin Huaiyu had made some decision after last night’s heart-to-heart conversations,

he hadn’t expected

that she would also entrust him with the leadership.

Trust like that?

Was she not afraid of entrusting it to the wrong person?

Spit, spit, spit.

I’m not that kind of person.

Zhou Ping’an suddenly felt a heavy burden weighing on his heart, almost unwilling to continue thinking about it.

“Miss…

ah, Supplicant Zhou, rest assured, Protector Tang has been well pacified.

On that day, the ‘Tidal Breathing Technique’ you promised has already been taught to him, he will certainly keep your word.”

“The miss also said, fortunately you are decisively unconventional in your actions, using every power to prevent Ninth Miss from disaster…

As for a mere secret breath control technique, though the Lin Family might treasure it, not willing to share, the miss would not adhere strictly to the rules if she wished to share it.”

Xiao Xue said, her eyes gleaming with admiration.

Clearly, she admired her young mistress immensely.

Tang Lin’er, oh Tang Lin’er.

So, it was you who talked too much.

Zhou Ping’an swore silently to himself.

No wonder that man never came to look for him, it turned out he had already received what he wanted.

He must be diligently cultivating, rebuilding his foundation.

“Further, about the little girl with Wang Yaozu, after our investigation within the residence, she originally came from Xiaohe Village, her parents were already murdered, their bodies discarded in the wilderness.

She is usually silent, not because she loves silence, but because her qi channels were sealed by Wang Yaozu using the Blood Halting Technique.”

Xiao Xue said with a hint of pity in her eyes, “The residence also has a nanny who could…”

“Why look at me?

If the girl has no family left, just care for her; Little Jiu’er could use more playmates.”

It was thanks to that three- or four-year-old girl that they had discovered the formidable staff technique practitioner Wang Yaozu was amiss.

In this world, Zhou Ping’an believed many things,

but he never believed that there could be kids who didn’t like sweets.

Even if they didn’t recognize the candy figurines.

Would they not smell the sweet scent?

When something is abnormal, there must be a demon at play.

Moreover, when he used sweets to test, he clearly saw an unnatural expression on Wang Yaozu.

‘Micro-Expressions Psychology’ wasn’t studied for nothing.

Once prejudice forms, faults appear everywhere.

However, at that time, being of low status himself, a mere protector, it was not his place to voice his opinion on matters.

Thus, when Wang Yaozu suddenly attacked,

he managed to preempt him, without turning back, he drew his sword and cut him in two.

He did not express the subtle thoughts he harbored.

Rarely, Lin Huaiyu and the young lady before him, Xiao Xue, obviously had guessed where he had spotted the flaw… and they had quietly dealt with the potential problems afterward.

…

Upon arriving at the council hall,

Lin Huaiyu was already waiting there.

Opposite her, the guest seat was occupied by a square-faced, burly man, clad in iron armor, seated upright with a firm posture that seemed utterly unshakeable by external forces.

However, his expression was somewhat dull and his speech deliberate, suggesting a not-so-bright mind.

“This is Qingyang City Army Commander Gu Dashi, conveyer on behalf of the County Magistrate Miao…

He says he wants to broker an alliance between the Lin Residence and Baicao Hall, discussing the next distribution of medicinal herbs in Qingyang City.

Either pick a date and settle it by combat, or split equally without initiating hostilities.”

Lin Huaiyu explained the visitor’s intentions, then asked, “What say you, Brother Zhou?”

“Is there really such a matter?”

After sitting down, Zhou Ping’an did not respond immediately, instead pondering the meaning behind Lin Huaiyu’s words.

He suddenly realized.

There must be something tricky…

The visitor was not from Baicao Hall, but from the official government, likely hinting at something important.

Miao Shouyi also held the responsibility and desire, at a time when the Red Lotus Army was menacingly watching, to prevent internal strife within the city.

And given Baicao Hall’s severe losses and weakened strength from a recent battle, they also did not wish for a desperate, all-out conflict.

They also held this desire.

If he hadn’t sensed last night that an “old…

sly…

dog” was sneakily lurking nearby, preparing to ambush.

Otherwise, he and Lin Huaiyu might actually have believed this matter.

The Third Miss had already harbored doubts.

Inviting him over, she certainly still wanted to see how he would respond.

To unravel the truth layer by layer and then strategize a trap.

Hopefully, once and for all.
