Lu Xuanxin walked out from behind Tianying, her steps light, like a deer jumping in the woods. Her eyes moved flexibly, looking Zihuang up and down, her eyes were sharp and curious, as if she was scanning his whole body with her eyes, trying to uncover his mysterious veil. Finally, she pretended to be calm, with a naughty smile on her lips: "You look good, but you are still a little short of being my husband. But I just happen to be in need of an attendant, and you seem to be a good fit."

Tian Ying frowned upon hearing this, and quickly pulled Lu Xuanxin back, reprimanding him in a low voice: "Xuanxin, this person's origins are unknown, and his cultivation is so profound, he must not be an ordinary person. How can you just keep him by your side? This is like inviting a wolf into the house!"

Lu Xuanxin replied with a smile, his eyes flashing with cunning: "It is precisely because he is extraordinary that I want him to be my follower. Think about it, wouldn't it be safer to have such a powerful follower protecting us? And, what if he really wants to?"

Tian Ying was somewhat helpless. She knew Lu Xuanxin's character very well. Once he made a decision, it would be difficult to change it. "That's fine, but Xuanxin, isn't it a pleasant thing to have such a charming and beautiful man by your side? You have to be careful and don't be fooled by his beauty."

When Lu Xuanxin heard this, a crazy expression appeared on his face, but then he restrained himself and looked at Tianying seriously: "Don't worry, Sister Shuang, I don't feel that he has any bad intentions, but rather a sense of intimacy. He will be fine."

After saying that, she walked up to Zihuang again, looked up and blinked, with a hint of cunning on her pretty face: "We saved your life, shouldn't you repay us well?" There was both teasing and expectation in her tone, as if she was testing Zihuang's reaction.

Zi Huang replied with a smile, her purple eyes flashing with a gentle light, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, her voice as gentle as aged wine, making people intoxicated: "Of course, I will follow my wife's orders!"

Lu Xuanxin was unhappy, frowned slightly, and said in a pretended angry tone: "My name is Lu Xuanxin, you can call me by my name or Miss, but don't call me Madam anymore."

Zi Huang quickly changed his words, with a hint of apology in his tone: "Xuan Xin, I am Zi Huang, you can call me Huang." After that, he leaned forward slightly, his movements were elegant and calm, as if every move was carefully calculated. Lu Xuan Xin was so scared that she took several steps back. Although she felt close to him, she was also afraid of his irresistible charm.

"Since you are my follower, you should act like a follower. I'm hungry, go and roast that wild boar." Lu Xuanxin snorted, took out a wild boar from the ring and handed it to Zihuang, with a hint of pride on his face.

Zi Huang gave a bitter smile, resigned himself to his fate and walked away with the wild boar. His back stretched out in the afterglow of the setting sun, looking particularly lonely and mysterious.

Tian Ying looked at Zi Huang's back, full of doubts. She whispered to Lu Xuanxin, "Xuanxin, this man must have some ulterior motive. Even his injury may be fake. You must be careful."

Lu Xuanxin nodded, thinking the same thing in her mind, but she showed a confident smile on her face: "Since he is plotting against us, he will come again if we reject him, so we might as well keep him by our side so that we can be on guard."

Tian Ying was still worried. She frowned and looked at Lu Xuanxin worriedly: "You are not bewitched by his beauty, are you? Don't forget, we are here to look for spiritual herbs, not to recruit followers."

Lu Xuanxin rolled his eyes at her, with a mischievous smile on his face: "Sister Shuang, you think too much. I just think he might be able to bring us some help. After all, in this unknown valley, it is always a good thing to have a powerful ally."

The two turned to look at Old Lady Li who was practicing in the valley. She was surrounded by two formations, one for gathering spirit and the other for defense. Her aura was steady, but she showed no signs of advancement. Lu Xuanxin placed some spiritual herbs around the formation to help gather spiritual energy. Her movements were gentle and skillful, showing her deep understanding of spiritual herbs.

Tianying also came over and looked at Old Lady Li with her eyes full of expectation. She knew that once Old Lady Li's cultivation level broke through, it would be a huge help to them.

After a while, Zihuang came back with wild boar, pheasant and mushrooms in his hands. His movements were agile and powerful, as if the heavy food was as light as a feather to him. The three of them started cooking together. Zihuang's cooking skills were really amazing. The roasted meat and stewed soup were fragrant and mouth-watering.

Zihuang also took out a sacred-grade bowl and chopsticks, which amazed Tianying. You have to know that in Jingjiang Country, the most precious treasure is only a low-grade treasure, and sacred artifacts are very rare. Zihuang can easily take out a sacred artifact, and his identity is even more mysterious. Tianying secretly speculated in his heart, who exactly is this Zihuang? Why is he here with serious injuries?

After the meal, Zihuang seemed very happy, his smile was warm and bright, as if it could dispel all the haze. Lu Xuanxin and Tianying were also very satisfied with the meal, and Zihuang's cooking skills impressed them.

Lu Xuanxin secretly hid some leftovers, smiling like a flower. She was thinking in her heart that she would try this delicacy again when she had the chance. Tianying was even more worried about Zihuang's intentions, and felt that he was becoming more and more unpredictable. She secretly decided that she must be more vigilant and not let this mysterious man hurt them.

It was late at night, and everything was quiet. Only the occasional chirping of insects could be heard in the distance, like the most melodious music of nature, echoing in this quiet valley. The moonlight was like water, gently sprinkled on every inch of the valley, adding a bit of mystery and softness to this quiet night. Tianying insisted that Zihuang go to the cave to rest. Her words were full of unquestionable firmness, but Zihuang just waved her hand lightly, and like a magic trick, an exquisite palace model flew out of her sleeves and landed lightly in the valley. The model shimmered in the moonlight, as if it contained endless power.

In the blink of an eye, the model quickly grew larger and turned into a majestic palace, standing in front of Tianying and Zihuang. The walls of the palace were made of unknown jade, emitting a faint glow, and the roof was covered with golden glazed tiles, shining brightly under the moonlight. The palace door slowly opened, revealing a vast hall filled with precious antiques and exotic flowers and plants. The air was filled with a faint fragrance, which was refreshing.

"Is this... the legendary holy weapon?" Tian Ying was stunned. Her eyes were wide open, full of disbelief. Although she had seen some rare treasures before, compared with this palace that could grow and shrink at will, it was like the difference between a firefly and the moon. Such a holy weapon is really rare in the world! Her heart was filled with indescribable shock and excitement, as if she saw a whole new world unfolding before her eyes.

Large families usually have a few sacred artifacts hidden, such as the kind that can make people fly. But this was the first time that Tianying herself had seen such a magical thing with her own eyes. She had only heard about it from others or read about it in miscellaneous books. Those legendary treasures were actually displayed in front of her at this moment, making her feel both excited and nervous.

Zi Huang smiled slightly, and that smile was like a spring breeze, warm and gentle. She told Tian Ying and Lu Xuan Xin that this was not just a holy weapon, but a higher-level divine weapon! Her voice was soft and firm, full of unquestionable power. Her eyes flashed with purple light, as if containing endless wisdom and mystery.

"Miss, please follow me." Zi Huang smiled gently and invited them in a very gentlemanly manner. Her manners were elegant and calm, as if she was a noble girl from a famous family, and it was impossible to refuse her invitation.

Lu Xuanxin and Tianying stood there without moving. Tianying asked Zihuang vigilantly: "Who are you? What do you want to do by approaching us sisters? I warn you, don't think about my sister!" There was a hint of vigilance and uneasiness in her voice, and it was obvious that she was full of doubts and vigilance about Zihuang's identity and purpose.

Zihuang only glanced at Tianying indifferently, and the purple light in her eyes made Tianying shiver involuntarily, feeling a chill on her back. Her eyes were deep and complex, as if they contained endless stories and secrets. Tianying's heart was beating fast, she felt that Zihuang's identity was definitely not simple, but she could not resist the temptation of the palace.

The situation is not good! Tianying's heart was beating like a drum. She felt like she was drawn into an unknown vortex and couldn't extricate herself. But Lu Xuanxin was not so nervous. She just looked at Zihuang quietly, playing with her hair in her hands, with a serious expression. Her eyes were sharp and perceptive, as if she could see through all the secrets.

"Xuanxin, are you scared?" Zi Huang let Lu Xuanxin look at her, her eyes were soft and deep, with a playful smile on the corner of her mouth. Her smile was a little provocative and teasing, as if she was watching a good show.

"Are you crazy?" Lu Xuanxin asked her, feeling extremely confused. How could an ordinary person be able to take out such a powerful holy weapon? She was filled with doubts and curiosity, wanting to uncover the mystery of Zihuang.

Zi Huang's smile froze for a moment, her purple eyes flickered, but she didn't say anything in the end. Her silence seemed to be a silent response, making people more curious about her identity and purpose.

"Humph!" Lu Xuanxin didn't want to say anything more, so she pulled Tianying into the magnificent palace. She thought to herself: You have to live in a cave when you have a ready-made palace. It's not me who's crazy, it's you who has a problem! Her steps were firm and powerful, as if she was declaring war on the unknown world.

At the same time, the night deepened, and some bad things were stirring in the dark. In the shadow of the valley, a figure in a black robe slipped out of the palace like a ghost, and shuttled through the quiet streets. His figure was strange and mysterious, as if he was a messenger from the dark world, and his target was Lu Mansion, one of the four major families.

In the Mufu Courtyard of the Lu Mansion, except for the guards who were on night watch, everyone else had fallen asleep. The moonlight sprinkled in the courtyard, adding a bit of mystery and tranquility to this quiet place. Lu Xuanxin was not at home, and Wang Ai could have not gone to watch the night, but out of habit, she stayed in Lu Xuanxin's outer room. She sat by the bed, holding an old book in her hand, quietly waiting for the arrival of dawn.

The man in black robe moved quickly, cleverly avoiding the patrolling guards, and arrived at Mu Fuyuan in the blink of an eye. He was light and slender, like a black cat, shuttling silently in the night. But he did not go in immediately, but hid in the dark and observed this quiet courtyard.

He found that there was no strong breath in the yard, only the unique fragrance of girls filled the air. The man in black robe was happy and angry. He knew that he was deceived - there was no genius girl he was looking for here! His heart was filled with anger and disappointment, as if he was pinched hard by an invisible hand.

"Murong Wanqing! How dare you tease me like this! I will make you feel my wrath!" The man in black robe gritted his teeth and said this, and then he entered Mu Fuyuan in a flash. His figure was like a ghost, shuttling silently in the night. The guards on night watch didn't notice him at all, as if he didn't exist at all.

The man in black robe quietly came to the master's room. Although he only sensed the scent of a woman, he did not intend to let her go. He quietly sprayed a drug, then quickly entered the room and began to search. His movements were agile and powerful, as if a hungry cheetah was looking for its prey. When he found that the room was empty, his heart was filled with contempt. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he was mocking this stupid family.

But he did not give up, and continued to look for the place with the strongest girl's scent. His eyes were sharp and perceptive, as if he could see through all the secrets. Finally, he found Wang Ai's room - although Wang Ai was already a mother, she was actually less than 30 years old and still had her charm. The man in black robe attacked her without hesitation, his eyes flashing with greed and desire.

After an incense stick of time, the black-robed man left Mu Fuyuan with satisfaction, while the night watchmen still knew nothing. They still stood firm at their posts, as if nothing had happened. But the coming and going of the black-robed man brought a hint of ominous atmosphere to this quiet night.
