I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1856 - 1857: Old Fox and Lion

In fact, Zou Nan has been part of the Goddess Sect since birth; everything in this world unrelated to the Goddess Sect has nothing to do with her.

The Gui Sect and the Goddess Sect have a longstanding feud. From this action, it’s not difficult to see that Zhang Ji has long harbored ambitions to annex the Goddess Sect. Since Zhang Ji dared to attack her and the Goddess Sect, it’s even possible that he has already annexed all the branches of the Goddess Sect in the Northwest. After all, Zhang Ji is very familiar with the Goddess Sect, and Zou Nan also believes that over the years, Zhang Ji must have infiltrated many people into the Goddess Sect.

However, Zou Nan felt somewhat comforted by the fact that those she brought out this time were the elite of the Goddess Sect, a small compensation amidst the catastrophe. Moreover, Zou Nan thus gained the man she loves dearly.

The reason Zou Nan didn’t go to Wuji was mainly that she didn’t know how to face Zhao Yu at the moment, considering their master-apprentice relationship. Zou Nan needed to give herself some relatively independent space and time to think; she wanted to quiet down, so she decided to temporarily leave the worldly disputes.

Ren Hongchang wanted to persuade Zou Nan but didn’t know how to begin, feeling that she wasn’t someone who was eloquent. Helplessly, Ren Hongchang could only nod and softly say, "Sister, make sure to come back early once things are done. You know your husband’s temperament; if he knows you went to the Northwest alone, he’d go there and find you without hesitation."

Zou Nan nodded with a smile and gently said, "I’m leaving," and then suddenly departed under everyone’s gaze, leaving only a shadow behind.

While Little Liu and the others escorted Ren Hongchang back to Wuji County, you were already sitting in Wang Yun’s private courtyard, with Wang Ling standing by the side, and Wang Yun still smilingly looking at you.

Pouring you a cup of tea, Wang Yun smiled and said, "I thought Nephew Li had already left Chang’an. I suppose no matter how Zhang Ji racked his brains, he wouldn’t guess you’re still in Chang’an."

Without much useless talk with Wang Yun, you got straight to the point: "Prime Minister Wang, I came here for one thing only." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Saying this, you intentionally glanced at Wang Ling behind Wang Yun. At the moment your gaze landed on him, Wang Ling’s entire body felt chilly, his hands even trembled slightly, your gaze was truly fearsome.

Wang Yun smiled slightly and said, "Nephew Li, feel free to speak."

"Alright." You have always been straightforward and efficient. "The woman you rescued earlier, her real name is Ren Hongchang, she is my woman, and Wang Ling has long known this."

"Brother, I heard you were killed by Zhang Xiu at that time, so..." Wang Ling hurriedly opened his mouth to defend himself but was silenced by a glare from Wang Yun, who then remained silent.

Wang Yun’s smile didn’t fade: "It’s just a woman. With Nephew Li’s character and ability, you can have your pick of the world’s beauties. But that Diao Chan..."

"She should already be out of Chang’an City by now, on the way back to Wuji." You spoke bluntly; even Zhang Xiu couldn’t stop his trusted aide, let alone Wang Yun, a weak old scholar.

"You..." Upon hearing this, Wang Yun almost jumped up.

Your mouth curled upward slightly, showing your habitual smile: "Alright, no need for acting, I know Prime Minister Wang excels at acting. You should have guessed that my being here means I’m here to solve your problem."

You drained the tea from your cup, not even spitting out the tea leaves.

"I came here to discuss with Prime Minister Wang the grand plan to drive out Dong Zei, is Prime Minister Wang interested?"

Wang Yun’s eyes immediately lit up, looking at you as if you were a rare beauty of peerless grace, seemingly recognizing you for the first time.

"No need to flatter me, I’m straightforward. Let’s be honest. Everyone wants to kill Dong Zhuo because killing him will bring fame and prestige, making one’s name known far and wide." You paused and continued, "And for you, it would be a historic achievement, establishing you as The Great Han’s greatest contributor."

"So, Nephew Li already has a plan?" Wang Yun stared at you intently, trying to discern any clue from you.

"There is a strategy, but before that, I need to meet an old friend. Without his help, things won’t be easy." With that, you stood up, "That’s all for now, wait for my good news, Prime Minister Wang."

You turned around and walked out, bypassing a garden when Wang Ling’s call suddenly came from behind: "Brother, please listen to me!"

You didn’t look back and coldly replied, "Wang Ling, do you know it’s because of that ’brother’ you called me that your head remains on your shoulders, but beyond this, there will be nothing between us anymore."

The way you conduct yourself has always been like this, and it hasn’t changed.

Wang Yun saved Ren Hongchang, and you’ll repay this debt, which you’re doing right now; but towards Wang Ling, you’re more indifferent. Wang Ling had met Ren Hongchang before; even though Ren Hongchang lost her memory, Wang Ling could have easily told her true identity instead of allowing her to appear as Diao Chan. Although there are many complications involved, you don’t care and won’t overthink it because Wang Ling has essentially done something to harm you.

"Our brotherly ties end here, take care of yourself in the future."

You walked a few steps and suddenly paused, thinking of Wang Yun’s nature and the many changes in the situation afterward, and you still decided to warn Wang Ling: "My last advice, if you stay by Wang Yun’s side, you’ll be beyond redemption."

With that, you quickly left.

"Brother... Alas!" Wang Ling watched your departing figure and sighed long and deeply.

Leaving Wang Yun’s Mansion, you still walked the streets as if not worried about being discovered by Zhang Xiu’s men. At this time, Zhang Xiu was leading a large force to pursue Little Liu and the others outside the city. If you said you weren’t worried about them, it would be a lie, but concerning worry, you had more trust. In your view, relying on your personal guard team’s skills, they would surely safely bring Zou Nan and Ren Hongchang back to Wuji County.

You’ve spent a lot of time and energy on your personal guard team. During battles with Little Liu and them, ordinary people would feel an unprecedented pressure, resulting in fear. This is because, through your high-intensity training of Little Liu and the others, you taught them the "Tiger" play from the Five Elements Opera from different angles. Although some of these people do not have an obvious Five Elements Constitution, fundamentally, everyone’s body is composed of Five Elements, so under your high-intensity training, they subconsciously learned the "Tiger" play, though they themselves are unaware.

You believe that besides Hua Tuo, no one in this world could see through this, which is also your trump card, a major reason for your self-confidence.

The first stop was Situ Mansion, and naturally, the second stop was Duke Wen Mansion.

However, you weren’t foolish enough to walk in through the front door openly, since Duke Wen Mansion’s gates are so wide, with a constant flow of people, yet no one dares to linger there, given Lü Bu’s notorious reputation as the King of Killers.

Reaching a quiet corner, you effortlessly scaled the wall and entered.

Just as your feet touched the ground, a dozen people surrounded you.

"I thought who it might be, turns out to be our Great Warrior Li."

You take a good look, it’s no one other than Zang Ba speaking!
