“This place is very safe,” the City Lord said.

For some reason, Liu Yuan suddenly panicked and felt like running away.

However, no matter how he thought about it, this was Duan Lanruo's territory, and she had already said that these were her secret guards. The secret guards and death warriors in the City Lord's Mansion were definitely at the top level in strength. Each of them was at least at the Nascent Soul Stage. The contribution of these unknown people to maintain the order of the entire City of Ten Thousand Swords could not be overlooked.

They had power, and they also had the ability to keep their secret. Moreover, this was the Inkstone Tower, which was one of Green Centipede's strongholds. Since the City of Ten Thousand Swords allowed Green Centipede to appear here, and Duan Lanruo could also use this place as a place for private meetings, it meant that this place was really very safe.

Duan Lanruo's mind was meticulous, and there would not be any slip-ups.

Liu Yuan still attributed his worries to thinking too much recently.

He coughed twice and said, “Of course, I've always trusted you. But before we talk about this, I have something I want to ask you to help me with.”

Duan Lanruo, who was sitting beside him and holding his arm, said gently, ” “Don't ask me for help. Are we that distant? As long as you say it, I will do it for you.”

Liu Yuan shook his head. “It's not that serious. It's just that I just saw my, uh, my daughter running into the Inkstone Tower. I have to catch her and bring her back.”

“Daughter?” Duan Lanruo was taken aback and said in disbelief, “You even have a daughter? Could it be with your two wives? No, that's not right. The time is definitely not right.”

Liu Yuan did not know whether to laugh or cry. “No, she wasn't born. She's a daughter born from the fusion of the Reincarnation Lotus and her parents' Heart Blood.”

Realization dawned on Duan Lanruo, but she then asked in confusion, “Who did you have it with?”

The two of them were about to get married, so naturally, they would take whatever they wanted. There was no need to do this. That meant that Liu Yuan had another woman…

“The Holy Maiden of the demon sect, Pihuan Luo,” Liu Yuan said.

Duan Lanruo's face stiffened.

Even the City Lord of the City of Ten Thousand Swords could not help but shiver in the face of this name. She thought of the faint smile that this venomous woman had under her black veil.

Many years ago, she had seen the scene of Pihuan Luo massacring the Orthodox Dao. Anyone who had seen that scene would be haunted by nightmares.

The name Pihuan Luo was as terrifying as a nightmare for the Orthodox Dao.

If such a person were to fall in love with someone, it would definitely be an endless entanglement. If she could not get him, she would destroy him.

Duan Lanruo realized that what she was most worried about at the moment was whether Liu Yuan would be killed by Pihuan Luo because of his philandering ways… And she was helpless.

“Whew…” Duan Lanruo's chest heaved up and down.

Liu Yuan reached out to hold her trembling hand and said, “Don't be afraid… Pihuan Luo no longer has any desire for me. She left her daughter with me to protect me, but to me, Shiying is also like a real daughter. Although she is Pihuan Luo's daughter, she has nothing in common with the people of the demonic sect. Instead, she is very cute… I'll introduce her to you next time.”

“If she's your daughter, I would treat her like my own.”

Duan Lanruo took a deep breath and beckoned to Ah Yue, who was waiting on her. After Liu Yuan told her Zhiying's appearance and location, Ah Yue immediately nodded and left.

Duan Lanruo grabbed Liu Yuan's hand and leaned on him, mumbling, “Even the demonic Holy Maiden has been settled by you, so why can't you handle these two?”

Liu Yuan laughed. “It's not the same… Besides, Pihuan Luo left a knife in my heart. I don't know when we'll end up killing each other. I almost died back then.”

Duan Lanruo's body was leaning against his arm, and her finger was pointing at his heart. She frowned and focused her senses. “Is it that famous weapon of hers? She's actually so vicious…”

“You've seen my current cultivation, ” Liu Yuan sighed. “How can I possibly suppress Shen Sifan? ”

Duan Lanruo muttered, “That's a big problem, but in fact, Shen Sifan sees you as her goal, and you promised that she would marry you after she defeated you. So, with the two combined, defeating you is her motivation to practice the sword, and the responsibility of Taiqing Pavilion is no longer the same. So, when your cultivation dropped and you married someone else, her Dao Heart was damaged and she was already in a state of paranoia. You should just tell her that you can recover your strength now, but you need her help. When you've recovered, you can have another fight with her. If she wins, you'll marry her. If she loses, you'll… You'll still marry her.”

When Duan Lanruo said this, she could not help but laugh. “In the end, she just wants your heart. Take note of this. She's actually just a little girl who's lost because of love. Use that time to soften her heart a little. She naturally won't bear to kill you, but you have to win against her in the end.”

After listening to her analysis, Liu Yuan felt that it was indeed the case, but he also felt that this method was too unscrupulous. On one hand, he asked Shen Sifan to help him improve his cultivation level, but in the end, he still wanted to take her in…

However, this was the best way.

He nodded. “That's true. After the Tideviewing and Sword-listening event in a few days, she should calm down. I'll go and talk to her then.”

Duan Lanruo nodded. Then, she realized that the two of them were already pressed tightly together. She suddenly remembered that she was having an ‘affair' right now.

The grand City Lord of the City of Ten Thousand Swords, on the surface a woman with a daughter, was secretly meeting with a young man in a brothel. This… this was simply too disgraceful.

Duan Lanruo's heart was occupied by this forbidden sense of shame, and a hint of red appeared on her face. It would be too ridiculous to say that nothing had happened between the two of them all those years. However, in reality, nothing had happened between them.

Perhaps this was the real reason why Duan Lanruo had fallen in love with this man. She loved the beauty of this body, but she also cherished the soul in it.

However, now that things had come to this, she would also secretly think of what she could do for him. Duan Lanruo narrowed her eyes and suddenly raised her head. She wrapped her arms around Liu Yuan's neck, and when their eyes met, she pursed her lips and said softly, “Ah Yue, she's the child I've brought up since she was young, and she's my closest confidant… I have always wanted to give you some compensation.”

Duan Lanruo asked Ah Yue to come forward and take off her mask. Behind that stiff wooden mask was a beautiful face.

Ah Yue half-knelt in front of Liu Yuan. Her face was expressionless, but her ears were a little red.

Compensation? Liu Yuan thought that this was really exciting.

…

Shen Sifan raised her head and looked expressionlessly at the quiet and elegant pavilion in front of her. She could vaguely hear the sound of singing, dancing, teasing, the sound of beaded curtains and jade pendants, and the sound of toasting.

The light spots floated into it, guiding the way.

She looked at the two words ‘Inkstone Tower' on the door.

With her Void Refinement stage cultivation base, she was able to ignore all the defenses. Almost instantly, she used ‘External Sword Transformation' and rushed into the Inkstone Tower where the light spot was located at the fastest speed.

Shen Sifan's eyes widened as she looked at the three people in front of her.

One was a young man with an unfamiliar appearance, one was the City Lord of the City of Ten Thousand Swords, who had received her not long ago, and the other was dressed as one of the City Lord's secret guards.

The young man and the secret guard were extremely intimate, and the City Lord was hugging the young man from behind. The copper furnace was emitting sandalwood fragrance, making the atmosphere extremely ambiguous.

It looked like she had completely witnessed the corruption of the City of Ten Thousand Swords' higher-ups!

Impossible!

That was the only word left in Shen Sifan's heart.

The light spots fell on the young man with a stiff expression and a horrified gaze.
