The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 75

Qingyan didn't expect that Murong Jingxuan would know that Liu Shang was someone from the Thousand Beast Pavilion. She narrowed her eyes as she looked to the young man before her, "Jingxuan, you probably have many things you're keeping from me, right? Those girls you sent me all seem to be trained in martial arts."

Murong Jingxuan looked to her and nodded, "Let's hear your thoughts."

After glancing to him, Qingyan poured out everything she wanted to say, "Fengqing once said that no one could rival him within Diqiu. And on this Jianghu, for him to be able to say something like that, he would be none other than someone from the Seven Star Hall. Even Xianyi Empress's Qinglong* didn't have the ability to say something that back then."

(*TN: The Azure Dragon, not sure if it's just his name or he's literally an azure dragon in human form.)

Murong Jingxuan attentively listened to her and nodded, "And then?"

Qingyan watched his expression and continued speaking, "Qingdai and Chishao both seem to be well trained, in addition to Fengqing's martial art seeming to be Seven Star Hall's unique martial art technique, and him being your shadow guard..." Qingyan paused for a moment before continuing.

"Before Xianyi Empress's death, on this jianghu, exists only two powerful organizations. One was the Thousand Beast Pavilion, founded by Xianyi Empress. And the other was the mysterious Seven Star Hall."

After organizing all her thoughts once more, Qingyan began to speak again, "Jingxuan, you must be the Seven Star Hall's master."

Murong Jingxuan carefully studied her expression and nodded, "Your guess is correct. I'm the Seven Star Hall's Hall Master."

Hearing Murong Jingxuan confess to this, Qingyan smiled, "Thank you for not lying to me."

Murong Jingxuan endearingly pulled her into his embrace, "Why would I lie to you? There's no need to."

Qingyan listened to his words and buried her head into his chest, "Jingxuan, are you sure you won't regret accepting me?"

"Of course not." Murong Jingxuan spoke as if he was making a vow, "Do you really not trust your husband?"

Qingyan nodded, "There are times when it doesn't feel genuine, times where it feels you think I'm insane. After all, I can see Qilian Qingyan's soul."

"That's because Xianyi Empress still have some wishes left unfulfilled." Murong Jingxuan confidently spoke, "Yan'er is Yan'er, no one can change this."

Qingyan buried herself in Murong Jingxuan's arms and nodded.

Rather than thinking about those things that didn't exist, it was better to think about what could happen in the future. Right now, she had succeeded in creating a jade flute, therefore becoming the Thousand Beast Pavilion's Pavilion Master was already possible.

And Su Yun's return during the Dragon Gate Festival was the best opportunity to perform.

"Jingxuan, does Chonglou have any pregnancy medication?" Qingyan lifted her head up to face him and asked in a serious tone, "The kind of medicine that can let someone become pregnant immediately."

Murong Jingxuan thought of Su Qingyuan's performance today, "You still want to send Ning Siyao a present?"

Qingyan looked to Murong Jingxuan and nodded, "That's right."

"Then I'm definitely willing to get it for my bride." Murong Jingxuan still maintained a playful attitude, "How do you plan on doing it?"

"Wait until tomorrow morning and you'll know. Moreover, with Ning Siyao's personality, I doubt she will forgive that guard." Qingyan looked to Jingxuan and reluctantly shrugged her shoulders.

"I think so too. She'll definitely immediately send him to the afterlife." Murong Jingxuan replied, unable to deny her words. "Furthermore, she can do it without anyone knowing."

"Have you investigated Su Qingming before?" Qingyan looked to Murong Jingxuan grinning. "From what I know, this Su Qingming seems to be loyal to the Second Prince. Moreover, this person is very selfish, doing whatever it takes to climb to the top."

Murong Jingxuan smiled, "I know, Fourth Prince has been unable to move him just because he knows that he's someone from the Second Prince's camp. Not only is he selfish and self-serving, he's also skilled in accumulating wealth. He can be considered as the Second Prince's 'House of Gold'."

"Oh!" Qingyan spoke in amusement, "I suppose that Second Brother of mine definitely won't miss such a good opportunity to come settle the bill with me."

Murong Jingxuan frowned, "What do you mean by that?"

"Think about it, as her brother, how could he not help Su Qingyuan get revenge, after what I've done to her." Qingyan still had a smile on her face as she spoke, "However, I do still really want to challenge this kind of ruthless man."

Murong Jingxuan gently tapped the tip of her nose, "If you can help the Fourth Prince get rid of that man, he'll definitely be grateful to you."

Qingyan looked to him and shook her head, "Jingxuan, since I've already chosen you, your decisions will be my decisions."

Murong Jingxuan understood what Qingyan meant behind those words. He tightly held her and said smiling, "Then I've really found myself a good bride."

"Of course." Qingyan shamelessly said. "There's only what I don't want, and not what I can't obtain."

It was precisely because the former Qilian Qingyan was too weak that she could only watch as Qilian Qingyi pulled everyone away from her one by one. But the Su Qingyan now feared nothing, that's why there's no need for her to worry about other things.

Right now, the only thing she can do is to openly and publically go see Weisheng Junyan and Qilian Qingyi.

She really looked forward to seeing what they're like now.

Weisheng Junyan, Qilian Qingyi, I will definitely crush Nanchen to quell the hatred in my heart.

"Yan'er, do what you want to do. I will stand behind you and pave all the roads for you." Murong Jingxuan said as he dropped a kiss on her forehead.

"Jingxuan." Qingyan buried into his embrace and softly spoke, "Sometimes I feel I'm very cruel."

Murong Jingxuan lifted her cheeks, "Yan'er, that's not exactly being ruthless. You're only doing it none other than to protect yourself."

Qingyan stared at the young man before her and wrapped her arms around his waist.

There once was also a young man that said the same thing to her. Back then, she thought she would become the happiest woman in this world.

But in the end, she finally understood that not everything could rival against reality.

Especially since they all carried different burdens of their status.

"Jingxuan, do you know Weisheng Junmo?" Qingyan carefully pushed away Jingxuan as she stared at the flames and softly spoke, "Weisheng Junmo and Qilian Qingyan were childhood friends that became lovers, but in the end, they were broken up by Weisheng Junyan. It wasn't until the end, did Qilian Qingyan finally understood that the title of 'Empress' had become her lifelong nightmare."

Murong Jingxuan ran his hands through her black hair, whispering, "Weisheng Junmo never married because of her. After Xianyi Empress passed away, he established the Eight Trigram Sect. The people of this sect purposefully goes against Nanchen; wherever they go, not a single life remains. On this Jianghu, they are considered both a just and evil organization."

While Qingyan listened to his words, her heart mysteriously began to ache. A man who was once so gentle, just what did he do for him to have become like this now.

Does love really make people go blind? Or could it be, he was regretting that he shouldn't have so easier let go of Qilian Qingyan's hand.

But at the end of it, neither of them could go back.
