, a blacksmith and an embroiderer's child would be recorded in government documents as either a slave or a lowborn. Even if the current Emperor values talent greatly, how could he possibly climb up th...“She’s mine!” Qian Tingxuan snorted coldly, flicking his sleeves and leaving. Indeed, he was very uneasy. The men around Xiao Ge were all eyeing her greedily. Although she repeatedly assured him that she wouldn't be interested in them, she also never said that she loved him. His heart felt like a mess, and he couldn't help but want to chop something up.

"My lady, I'm back!" Shortly after, a white and clean-looking man who seemed a little weak strode in. He was the master of Hongxiu Mountain Villa and also He Hongxiu's husband, He Xishan.

As soon as He Xishan entered the room, he saw He Hongxiu resting on a lounge chair. Thinking she was tired, he hurried forward and kneaded her legs: "My wife, are you tired"

"My husband, I'm not tired." He Hongxiu sat up, holding his face and smiling sweetly, gently wiping the fine ash from his face: "You worked hard!"

"It's only a hundred miles back and forth, it's not hard," He Xishan smiled dismissively, scooped up He Hongxiu: "It's just my heart that's tired, I miss my wife so much."

He Hong's cheeks flushed, a blush rising on her fair skin. She gave him a shy smile. "You rascal! We've been married for years, there's no need to be so forward! What if someone sees us" Though she spoke these words, her heart was filled with sweetness, the joy evident in the flush on her face. Indeed, a woman who is cherished by her husband radiates the glow of love from head to toe.

"What are you afraid of Let them be envious." He Xishan also had a happy smile on his face: "By the way, I just saw that Your Highness seemed to leave in displeasure. Did you offend him"

"I laughed at him!" He Hongxiu couldn't help but smile when she thought about Qian Tingxuan's gloomy face just now. After so many years, she finally saw him being tormented by love.

"My Lady, you're amazing!" He Xishan gave her a thumbs up. "Indeed, not from the same family, wouldn't enter the same door. But," he added, "after all, he's our savior and your brother. Is this really okay"

If it weren't for Qian Tingxuan, he and his wife would have long since ceased to exist. Now that they can live together happily, it's all thanks to Qian Tingxuan. He will never forget this great kindness. Therefore, over the years, he has willingly worked hard for him.

Hongxiushan Manor appears to be just a simple manor running various businesses, but in reality, it's the contact point for Lei Ting Pavilion. If anyone in the world knows about Lei Ting Pavilion best, it would have to be Hongxiushan Manor.

He Hongxiu snorted arrogantly: "Who cares Whether he's angry or not, it's his own business. Who told him to like that girl He just had to like that little girl, and she hurt me! He didn't even help me. At least I'm his older sister. All these years, he didn't even care about me, but kept making me do all this trouble for him, delaying my time with my husband. If I don't say a few words to him, I just feel uncomfortable."

"All I desire in this life is to grow old with my wife. As for children, I haven't given it much thought. Having my wife by my side is enough for me!" He Xishan looked content and fulfilled, as if he had everything he needed with his wife.

"Still, my husband is the best!"

The way the two of them looked at each other, their hands were all over each other, made the underlings watching feel goosebumps. They were used to being fed dog food on a daily basis, and they cried out for mercy!

Inside the west chamber.

Xiao Yu Ge and Feng Yan Niang were both closing their eyes to rest, having not slept the whole night. They certainly needed to recover. For Feng Yan Niang, practicing her martial arts could eliminate fatigue, but Xiao Yu Ge's physique wasn't as good, so she would need to meditate for longer.

Here we go!

At this time, there was a knock at the door.

“Who” Feng Yianing glanced at Xiao Yuge who was still sitting cross-legged, cultivating his Qi, and stood up alertly.

Knock knock!

Outside, no one spoke, but the knocking came again!

Feng Yianing snatched up the sword from the bedside table and then carefully walked to the door. Suddenly, she flung it open. At the same time, a hand clad in iron armor reached in, wielding a token unique to the Thunder Pavilion!

Feng Yanni's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly knelt down: "Greetings, esteemed envoy!"

A messenger in full armor, with a devil's mask covering his face, was said to be called "Moon Eater". He merely glanced at Feng Yanniang lightly: "Are you Feng Yingxue, the new mistress of the Frost and Snow Pavilion" His voice was hoarse, unmistakably altered.

Feng Yanniang only felt a chill on top of her head and subconsciously lowered her head: "Yes!"

The envoy glanced at Xiao Yuge who was still meditating, then addressed Feng Yan'niang and said, “You come out!”

"Yes!" Feng Yanniang didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she quickly followed him out.

She hadn't expected this. As soon as she stepped out, the special envoy suddenly attacked her. She was startled and instinctively fought back. In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged dozens of moves. Feng Yanniang was struggling to keep up, her footing faltered, and she felt a blow on her shoulder. The special envoy's iron palm was rising again!

Xiao Yu Ge suddenly rushed out of the room. Without thinking, she swung a palm and received the envoy's iron palm head-on. With a deafening boom, she was sent staggering back two steps, while the envoy seemed to have also retreated two steps!

Feng Yanni instinctively stepped forward and supported her: "Are you alright" Her eyes were full of worry, unable to be concealed.

Xiao Yu's song shook her head, suddenly realizing something, she quickly changed hands to hold Feng Yan Niang, and intentionally raised her voice: "Host, are you alright"

Feng Yanni shook her head, but subconsciously shielded her with her body, staring straight at the envoy: "Envoy sir, what are you doing"

"This is a tradition, to see if you are worthy of becoming the master of Frost and Snow Tower. The fact proves, you are not qualified!" A cold and raspy voice, sounding tense.

"Does she have the qualifications It's not up to you to decide, Special Envoy!" Xiao Yuge met his gaze without fear, deeply unwilling in her heart. Who cares who becomes the host, it has nothing to do with him!

The envoy glanced at her, then at Feng Yianing, let out a cold snort, and swept away!

Xiao Yu Ge hurriedly helped Feng Yan Niang into the room, shut the door, and whispered anxiously, "Sister Feng, are you alright"

"Hiss!" Feng Yanniao instinctively tugged at her back garment, a pained expression crossing her face.

"Let me see." Xiao Yuge hurriedly pulled open her clothes, revealing a bright red iron claw mark on her body. She couldn't help but be angry: "Too despicable! How could they strike so hard!"

While scolding her, he applied medicine to her wounds: “To attack someone for no reason! Those from Thunderclap Pavilion are truly not good people!”

“Shh!” Her words frightened Feng Yanniang, who quickly covered her mouth. "My dear, this is under the very nose of Lei Ting Pavilion! Even if you're angry, you can’t say it out loud. Just one special envoy's martial arts are so terrifying. If we provoke the pavilion master, there wouldn't be even a scrap left!”else's life for over ten years. It's just that she didn't expect Xiao Yu Fu to want to get rid of her time and again. If not for the sake of the Xiao family elders, she wouldn't know how many times sh...
