Besides Ji Xuan and me, there was also my younger brother Xu Yuanhuai.
The remaining five people, including the Taoist priest known as Banana Leaf, were wandering rogue cultivators who later joined Qianlong City.
He had always been a guest retainer in Ji Xuan's household and was the most loyal to him.
Qi Huan Danxiang, a member of the Xin Gu tribe of the Gu clan, was wanted by the government for wiping out the entire family of a corrupt official in Yunzhou, and ended up in Qianlong City.
The White Tiger, a demonic beast, is a demon that the Lord of Tianji Palace subdued in his early years.
Liu Hongmian, a disciple of the Wan Hua Lou (Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion), left the pavilion due to dissatisfaction with her junior sister Xiao Yuenu and went on to travel the martial world.
Li Miaozhen asked, "Are there any experts at the Transcendent Realm in Qianlong City?"
Xu Yuanshuang shook her head: "Transcendent Realm experts are extremely rare. Apart from the Palace Master of Tianji Palace, who is a second-rank sorcerer, there are no experts of this level in Qianlong City."
However, the Palace Master can rely on magical artifacts and formations to create battle formations whose power is no less than that of those in the Transcendent Realm.
With the enhancement of sorcerers' magical artifacts and formations, the combined power of multiple individuals can achieve a combat strength beyond the ordinary.
Although combat strength can reach the extraordinary level, the core of an indestructible body cannot be achieved by simply having more people.
Li Chang'an was not surprised by this answer.
Five hundred years ago, that lineage indeed lacked top experts, so Xu Pingfeng's past plans had a very clear objective.
Eliminate the Prince of Zhenbei and Wei Yuan.
If you can't cultivate exceptional experts in the short term, then bring your opponents down to the same level as yourself.
Then Li Chang'an asked a few more questions, such as when Qianlong City planned to start an uprising and what the Palace Master of Tianji Palace's next plan was.
But without the answer to her question, the young woman had no access to such high-level core secrets.
Xu Qi'an spat out the grass root in his mouth, "What rank of sorcerer are you?"
Xu Yuanshuang pursed her lips: "Sixth rank, alchemist."
"I remember that sorcerers needed to rely on the imperial court. How did your lineage advance in rank?"
"For low-level sorcerers, Yunzhou and Qianlong City are enough."
But to reach the transcendent realm, one must have the support of the imperial court.
Xu Qi paused for a moment, and Li Chang'an continued, "Tell me about your identity."
"I am the Palace Master's disciple."
Xu Qi'an questioned, "How can a mere disciple like you possess so many magical artifacts?"
The magical artifacts in the pouch were all exquisite, including a bracelet that could easily withstand an attack from a fourth-rank martial artist.
Xu Yuanshuang couldn't lie, so she had to confess honestly.
“Xu Pingfeng is my father, and my real name is Xu Yuanshuang…”
A simple sentence terrified Xu Qi'an.
His heart was in turmoil, and he stared wide-eyed at the girl in disbelief.
She's the daughter of an inhuman child?!
My own sister?!
Xu Qi'an glanced at his hands, relieved that no one had used underhanded tactics.
Otherwise, it's true that like father, like son.
Xu Pingfeng is not a proper son, and Xu Qi'an is not a proper elder brother.
Xu Yuanshuang was disheartened and confessed everything she needed to.
Xu Pingfeng is a mortal enemy of the Great Feng Dynasty, while the people in front of him are important figures in the Great Feng Dynasty.
Now, death is the best ending, isn't it...? Xu Yuanshuang closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling.
She said sadly, "Kill me."
There was no movement for a long time.
She opened her eyes and cautiously observed the people in front of her.
Luo Yuheng fiddled with her fingernails, while Li Chang'an and Li Miaozhen watched Xu Qi'an with amused expressions.
Chu Yuanzhen seemed to be recalling whether Xu Qi'an had touched the little girl's buttocks just now.
Li Lingsu secretly tugged at Xu Qi'an's sleeve, "Big, brother-in-law..."
"Get out of here!" Xu Qi'an kicked Li Lingsu.
Xu Qi'an, the transmigrator, was indeed in a state of inner turmoil.
Xu Pingfeng is a heartless son; how much better can his daughter be? Kill her.
No, we're blood relatives no matter what. I can't bring myself to do it until she shows strong hostility towards me.
She doesn't look like Xu Pingfeng at all, and neither does the boy with the gun. They look like their birth mother.
In the end, it turns out I look more like Xu Pingfeng. Isn't that a terrible thing?
He didn't want any connection with Xu Pingfeng's blood relatives; fratricide was not a pleasant thing for him.
Xu Qi'an wanted to eliminate Xu Pingfeng mainly to protect himself; he was forced to do so.
If this girl is as immoral as Xu Pingfeng, killing her would only cause some discomfort, not a strong sense of guilt.
However, Xu Qi'an was concerned about his birth mother, whom he had never met.
The reason why the original owner of Xu Qi'an was able to live until now was actually because of his birth mother's love for him, which gave him a glimmer of hope.
Li Chang'an knew that this little girl was actually insignificant.
Now, through her, we have figured out the other party's strength.
At this moment, Li Miaozhen suddenly said, "Xu Qi'an, you didn't do anything to your sister, did you?"
After Li Miaozhen finished speaking, she noticed that Xu Qi'an covered his face with his hands.
Thankfully nothing serious happened... otherwise it would have turned into a German orthopedic clinic.
"Xu, Xu, Xu Qi'an!" Xu Yuanshuang's pretty face was full of astonishment, and her eyes widened involuntarily.
"You are Xu Qi'an!" The little girl didn't know how to express her feelings.
To be precise, she didn't know what mindset she should have right now.
This is his own brother, his own brother who stands on the opposite side of the enemy.
However, she also knew that her mother had tried to protect her older brother.
"Ning Yan, you can handle her."
Li Chang'an was very generous. Xu Qi'an opened his mouth, then hesitated for a moment.
"Master, please let her go. After all, she didn't intend to kill me."
Just when Xu Yuanshuang was in despair, things took a turn for the better.
Li Chang'an nodded. "Xu Yuanshuang, you can go now."
"If you continue to oppose us, and fall into my hands, I will no longer give your brother any face."
He was his elder brother's master!
When she was in Yunzhou, she had heard that Xu Qi'an's master was the Great Fengtian King!
The man behind the current Empress of Great Feng is Li Chang'an, a second-rank expert!
"You are, Heavenly King Li Chang'an!"
Li Chang'an nodded. "Let's go quickly."
After speaking, Xu Yuanshuang realized she could move again. In any case, leaving this place was the safest option.
This older brother, who spared his life, didn't seem as bad as he appeared.
However, this is, after all, enemy territory.
Xu Yuanshuang lifted her skirt and stumbled away.
She ran wildly across the wilderness for half an hour before finally finding the main road.
It took another hour to return to Yongzhou City along the official road.
Seeing the bustling crowd, I finally felt relieved and regained my sense of security.
Despite the freezing winter months, she managed to run until she was drenched in sweat, her slender legs feeling numb and swollen.
We searched all the way back to Dajiaochang and returned to the courtyard where we had settled down.
Liu Hongmian was sitting alone in the hall, drinking tea, looking quite content.
"Hey, are you back?"
Liu Hongmian looked at her with surprise, then said with a smile, "You were kidnapped by the night watchman, which made everyone very worried."
With a gloating expression, she stood up, leaning on the armrest of the chair, and moved closer to Xu Yuanshuang. She sniffed the air and became even more surprised.
"She didn't lose her virginity for more than two hours?"
