The light in the hall was splendid, illuminating the glazed floor in a dazzling and colorful light. Lin Hongyuan was situated within it, as if it was the pure glazed world recorded in Daoist scriptures. She wondered if she should do the same after returning to the Dragon Palace. Yuchi Niuquan drank absent-mindedly, the corner of his eyes constantly glancing at the outer corridor. The sky was dusky, and there were no lanterns hanging there. She hesitated whether or not she should find an excuse to see him. When she raised her wine cup, she sniffed it and hurriedly turned to look at the outer corridor, wanting to stand up. Lin Hongyuan gently tugged on Yuchi Niuquan's sleeve. The latter's face was full of anxiety, saying that he had smelled blood. After hearing this, Lin Hongyuan's thoughts turned rapidly. With that young devil's unfathomable skill and cultivation, even if there were crouching tigers and hidden dragons in Snow Manor, the number of experts that could injure him could be counted on one hand. Xie Lingzhen counted as one, and Li Yibai counted as half. However, other than the two tremors in the outer corridor, there was no other movement. Could it be that someone was hiding at the bottom of the lake, treacherously ambushing Hsu Fengnian, and then retreating after succeeding? Otherwise, it was impossible for that guy to be idle and use his flying sword to kill the fish in the lake, bringing out the smell of blood. Lin Hongyuan's curiosity was also piqued. After hesitating for a moment, she gave Yuchi Niuquan a look, and they both stood up and walked towards the outer corridor. The night gradually darkened, as if an immortal in the heavens had thrown a black cloth to the earth. Fortunately, the hall and the outer corridor were connected, and the candlelight and glazed light flowed out like fertile water. The scene in the outer corridor swayed with the light of the candlelight blowing over the lake's surface. Hsu Fengnian could vaguely be seen sitting upright on a chair, gently twisting his wrist. Lin Hongyuan's eyes were sharp, and she saw that there was a piece of cotton cloth tied around his wrist. Yuchi Niuquan anxiously asked, "How did you get injured?"
Hsu Fengnian played it down. "The ground was slippery, and I accidentally fell."
Yuchi Niuquan cried out in surprise, his face full of guilt. Lin Hongyuan sighed inwardly. If this elder sister was thrown into the jianghu, she would be eaten by those wolves, tigers, and leopards in human skin. Hsu Fengnian stood up and said with a smile, "Let me send you off. There are all kinds of people in the manor right now, and I'm worried about the two of you. Fairy Lin had previously told her that the founder of the Dragon Palace said that one may know a person's face but not his heart. Although most of the people who entered the Quicky Snow Mountain Villa were righteous people, they might be hypocrites, not to mention those Jianghu people who were both righteous and evil. Let's take a stroll around the manor and enjoy the scenery while we're at it. Oh right, I need to disguise myself first. Please wait for a moment. "
Lin Hongyuan sneered in his heart. A hypocrite? Hsu Fengnian turned around and covered his face with a root-like mask. After turning his head, he had already turned into an elegant scholar. Yuchi Chaoquan's mouth was slightly agape. At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard from inside the house. When Manor Lord Yuchi Liangfu saw that his daughter was safe and sound, he was obviously relieved of a heavy burden. However, he still pretended to be indifferent and said with a smile, "If Father's guess is correct, they came here by boat? Chaoquan, how can you greet a distinguished guest like this? Only Young Palace Lord Lin is experienced and knowledgeable and won't lower himself to your level. "
Yuchi Chaoquan smiled and ran to Yuchi Liangfu's side, affectionately calling him Father. Yuchi Liangfu lowered his head and glared at her. Then he quickly raised his eyes and smiled at the young white-haired scholar. Even with a warm smile, the way he looked at his daughter was completely different. Hsu Fengnian put his hands in his sleeves and bowed respectfully, "The Dragon Palace's Li Harvesting Official is honored to meet Manor Lord."
Lin Hongyuan explained with a smile, "Zuo Jing is Mr. Nalan's favorite student. People outside of the Southern Tang Sect may not be familiar with Young Master Zuo. When he first entered the Dragon Palace, we intended to let him choose a position. However, Young Master Zuo had a strange eye and chose a Li Harvesting Official who was not as good as the Imperial Censor Official. He said that the saying of harvesting pearls was more pleasing and more pleasing to the scholars who aspired to win the imperial examination. Sister Yuchi and I have been drinking for about an hour. Young Master Zuo was only focused on being our door god. Sister Yuchi still has more face. "
The iciness in Yuchi Liangfu's eyes melted and immediately turned a bit warmer. Indeed, the title of Mr. Nalan was too high and unreachable for the people of Liyang. He was the number one person in the Southern Tang Dao, not just in name but also in reality. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was Nalan Youci rather than Zhao Bing, the Prince of Yan Chi. Even under the eyes of Zhao Bing on the southern border, how many times had Mr. Nalan overstepped his authority? Otherwise, when the vassal kings entered the capital, Nalan Youci would not have taken the carriage and the King of Yan Chi would not have acted as the escort knight. If Zuo Jing was really Mr. Nalan's disciple, then Yuchi Liangfu valued him even more than Lin Hongyuan, the Young Palace Lord Lin who was in an awkward position.
Yuchi Liangfu cupped his fists and said softly, "There was an accident in the manor, but since Young Master Zuo is by my daughter's side, Liangfu can rest easy. After dealing with the matters at hand, Liangfu will apologize to Young Master Zuo and have a good drink. "
Hsu Fengnian nodded and said, "I don't dare to disobey."
Yuchi Liangfu left the courtyard and shook his head to the old steward who was waiting at the door and said, "Yuquan is fine. We met a young man named Zuo Jing. Lin Hongyuan said that he was Nalan Youci's disciple. But even if the Dragon Palace made a move this time, it was only directed at Qiaodong Mountain. Moreover, the Dragon Palace absolutely did not have the strength to kill Li Huoli and Xie Lingzhen. How could the Dragon Palace, which is located in a corner of Nanjiang, shake the power behind these two people? If it was really Mr. Nalan's shocking plan, even if it was really the Dragon Palace's doing, it was not something that the Quicksnow Manor could intervene in. We, the people of Jianghu who have no one to rely on in the imperial court, could easily be destroyed. "
