Yun Xiao’s eyes immediately became more vigilant as she subconsciously walked to Rong Jin’s side.

Rong Jin’s expression did not change. His figure was slender and he stood in front of the thatched cottage.

At this moment, the black-clothed man made way for a path. In the middle of the road, a woman wearing a brocade dress walked out. The woman’s face was like peach blossoms and her lips were like pink. Her smiles and smiles attracted people’s attention. The woman quickly walked over and sized up Rong Jin and the others with her brows. “I didn’t expect that we would meet again here.”

Yun Xiao smiled and replied, “Yes, it’s really a coincidence.” She was a little displeased that Xiao Yuqi had been looking at Rong Jin.

Xiao Yuqi’s gaze finally shifted from Rong Jin to Yun Xiao. She smiled lightly and said, “Yun Xiao, sometimes I admire your courage.” After she finished her sentence, she suddenly changed the topic and said coldly, “Of course, what I hate even more is your courage.”

Yun Xiao frowned. From beginning to end, she did not know why Xiao Yuqi was so hostile to her. So far, she had been chasing after her. She smiled faintly and said softly, “Thank you, Third Emperor Concubine, for your praise. Yunxiao is ashamed of herself.”

“Heh … what do you not dare to do?” Xiao Yuqi stared at Yun Xiao’s face with a gloomy expression. She said sternly, “I think you still don’t know something. Hui Ning died last night. Do you want to know how she died?”

Yun Xiao secretly frowned. Of course she knew how County Lord Hui Ning died. However, she had always suspected that Zhou Jingyan was the target. However, according to Xiao Yuqi’s current expression, the poison on County Lord Hui Ning’s body should have been planted by Xiao Yuqi.

She had clearly heard that Xiao Yuqi and county princess Huining had formed an alliance, and that Xiao Yuqi had even helped county princess Huining do business. She had never expected that the harmony of the past was just a cover-up. In the blink of an eye, county princess Huining had died at Xiao Yuqi’s hands.

Even county princess Hui Ning could be treated like this. Yun Xiao did not know what kind of land she would be in if she were to fall into Xiao Yuqi’s hands.

Yun Xiao restrained her mind and said indifferently, “I don’t think anyone knows better than the Third Emperor Concubine how county princess Hui Ning died, right?”

The two of them looked at each other, not willing to be outdone by each other, and the contest between them was getting bigger and bigger.

After a long time, Xiao Yuqi laughed loudly. “You’re right. No one knows better than me how Hui Ning died. You’re very smart. You’re so smart that I feel sorry for you. If we’re not opponents, I think we can definitely become confidantes.”

“Really? I don’t think so.” Yun Xiao was calm and natural, not wanting to let herself admit defeat in front of Xiao Yuqi.

“Mm, no matter what you think, now you are going to fall into my hands. If you can’t become friends, then you can only become enemies.” Xiao Yuqi’s voice was as cold as ice. Her palm slid down and she said sternly, “Do it!”

However, just as Xiao Yuqi’s voice fell, many black-clothed people flew over anxiously. Just by looking at their speed, they could already tell that their kung fu was extraordinary.

Xiao Yuqi frowned. As if he had figured something out, Her eyebrows relaxed. He stared fixedly at Rong Jin who didn’t say a word. “Rong Jin, everyone says that the people of the Ten Directions Palace are the best in martial arts in the world. I’ve always been curious about what it feels like to be the first. This time, I finally have a chance to compete with them. If my people win, you guys stay behind. If your people win, I’ll let you go and escort you out of the capital. What do you think?”

“Thank you, Third Emperor Concubine, for making things easier for us.” Rong Jin’s gentle face still did not reveal the slightest trace of joy or anger, but his expression was faint.

Hearing Rong Jin’s words, Yun Xiao couldn’t help but laugh. She secretly admired Rong Jin’s ability to react. In just one sentence, Rong Jin had already replied to Xiao Yuqi’s words and expressed her determination.

Xiao Yuqi frowned slightly and then said loudly, “Since Young Master Rong is imperative, I cannot show weakness!”

After she finished speaking, she pulled out a flute from her waist and moved closer to her lips. She slowly began to play the flute. The sound of the flute was sometimes cheerful, sometimes tactful, and sometimes low. It was as if she was playing for this battle, but it was also as if she was encouraging people.

Yun Xiao listened to the sound of the flute and felt that something was wrong. The sound of the flute seemed to attract people’s attention. With the melodious sound of the flute, Yun Xiao heard something that was not coming from two sides. She looked sideways and saw a strange scene happening on the ground. She saw bugs constantly climbing over from the ground.

Surprisingly, something strange flashed in her heart. However, very quickly, Yun Xiao was pulled back to her senses by the sound of a heavy object landing on the ground.

She turned around and saw that ten people from the Ten Directions Palace had been knocked to the ground. Furthermore, looking at the black clothed man’s appearance, it was as if he was seriously injured. The moment the black clothed man landed, countless insects climbed towards the black clothed man. In an instant, they covered the black clothed man’s entire body.

The black-clothed man, who had originally endured the pain, couldn’t help but roll on the ground with a painful expression, wanting to sweep away the insects on his body.

Yun Xiao’s heart trembled slightly. She looked at Xiao Yuqi in shock. Xiao Yuqi smiled innocently, but Yun Xiao knew that this must have something to do with the flute that Xiao Yuqi played.

Without thinking, Yun Xiao took out the little white snake in her arms and let it crawl in the direction of the black-clothed man. When Xiao Bai landed on the ground, Yun Xiao saw that many insects seemed to be afraid and could not help but retreat.

Seeing this, Yun Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, these bugs were still afraid of the little white snake.

However, Little White Snake had been following her since birth, but Yun Xiao had never known which kind of snake Little White Snake belonged to. It actually scared all the snakes and bugs.

Although those insects didn’t dare to climb into the fight for a while because of the little white snake, Yun Xiao could clearly see that those insects were all eager to move, only taking care of the little white snake.

At this moment, another heavy object landed on the ground. Yun Xiao turned her head and saw another ten square palace disciples fall to the ground. Her expression changed slightly. She looked at Xiao Yuqi in shock again.

Yun Xiao was very clear about how powerful the people from the Ten Directions Palace were. Especially those who came here today, they were very attracted to Rong Jin. No matter where they were, they could be considered as existences. But now, they were severely injured on the ground by Xiao Yuqi’s people. No matter how this looked, it was not right.

Yun Xiao thought over all the details before and after the fight. At the beginning, Xiao Yuqi had brought some people with her. However, when Xiao Yuqi took out her flute and played, there was a gap between the two sides.

Yun Xiao wanted to talk to Rong Jin about this matter to confirm her speculation. However, when she turned around, she saw Rong Jin’s brows slightly wrinkled and his ears occasionally twitched.

With the husband and wife working together, Yun Xiao immediately understood what Rong Jin was going to do.

Sure enough, not long after, Yun Xiao saw Rong Jin also take out a jade flute and slowly play it. The flute sounds intertwined with the flute sounds, entangling each other and confronting each other. No one was willing to be outdone. Occasionally, they were like quarreling artists, and sometimes, they were like thousands of horses galloping.

However, when Cong Rong Jin also began to play the Jade Flute, Yun Xiao could clearly see that the people of the Ten Directions Palace were already starting to fight back from their original weakness.

A trace of pride appeared on Yun Xiao’s face. Judging from the reaction just now, Rong Jin must have listened to Xiao Yuqi play, so he had come up with a tune that could suppress Xiao Yuqi’s flute.

Compared to Yun Xiao’s pride, Xiao Yuqi couldn’t help but be shocked. She looked at Rong Jin in disbelief. This song was written after a long time, and it could disrupt the hearts of the enemy. However, Rong Jin only listened to it once, and it was able to restore the tune she played and come up with a restrained score.

Such a person! Why did she take a fancy to him first, but he married that useless woman, Yun Xiao?

However, Xiao Yuqi did not want to admit defeat just like that.

Very quickly, the battle between the two black-clothed men became more and more intense. Not long after, Xiao Yuqi was defeated.

Rong Jin naturally withdrew the jade flute in his hand. The corners of his mouth slightly rose as he said in a low voice, “Thank you, Third Emperor Concubine, please fulfill your words.”

Xiao Yuqi sneered and placed the flute in her hand heavily on the ground. With the sound of the flute splitting apart, Xiao Yuqi snorted coldly, “Someone, prepare the car!”

When Xiao Yuqi brought back the people, even if she retreated to prepare the carriage, Xiao Yuqi did not get angry but smiled instead. She slowly walked to Rong Jin and Yun Xiao and said with a burning gaze, “The power of the Ten Directions Palace is indeed worthy of its reputation. Do I want to do a business with you? Do you want to take it?”

Rong Jin calmly and naturally refused, “I won’t take it.”

‘”Why did you reject my business so thoroughly? Aren’t you interested in listening to me finish the terms?” Xiao Yuqi was stunned for a moment before she was openly rejected without even mentioning her request. She couldn’t help but feel angry in her heart, “Why did you reject my business so thoroughly? Do you have no interest in listening to me finish the terms?”

Rong Jin still smiled indifferently and said softly, “I can already do what Third Emperor Consort wants to do. The Ten Directions Palace will not accept this business.”

Xiao Yuqi was originally filled with anger, but when she heard Rong Jin’s indifferent compliments, she slowly calmed down. She looked at Rong Jin curiously and whispered, “Young Master Rong really understands my thoughts.”

When she said this, her eyes were looking in Yun Xiao’s direction, and her provocative intent was self-evident.

However, Yun Xiao only smiled indifferently. Gujing Wubo’s eyes were calm, as if she didn’t understand Xiao Yuqi’s meaning at all, and she seemed to know Xiao Yuqi’s reaction like the back of her hand.
