Chapter 56: Swallow Rain Butterfly

  The old woman had been in contact with Zhu Ziming for some time, and although this kid was cunning and shameless, his heart was not bad, far surpassing those so-called hypocrites. However, this profound martial art was extremely difficult to cultivate, and the old woman did not think highly of him. She only had some fate with him, so she pointed it out to him and gave him the secret book.

  "Alright," said the old woman with a snort. "My wife has gone to rest, you can slowly come to realize it yourself later, don't look for me again."

  The old woman's intention was to let Zhu Ziming understand by himself, but Zhu Ziming understood that this heart method the old woman could not cultivate, and she didn't understand either, so looking for her would be in vain.

  Zhu Ziming tightly grasped the ancient manual in his palm, feeling that he had already taken the first step on the path to becoming a strong practitioner, and the road ahead was still long.

  The old woman walked away and suddenly turned back, saying: "This secret recipe must not be passed on to others. If I find out that you have done so, I will surely make your efforts go to waste."

  What a way to ruin everything... This old woman must have seen this secret recipe, Zhu Ziming was stunned, could it be that he found a woman to force her...

  Too bloody and violent!

  ——————————————————————

  The Mingli Academy was still filled with the sound of books, but the entire hall outside was very quiet. Zhu Ziming stood there for a while, feeling bored and left the academy, it's better to return to Shenfu to focus on cultivation.

  Zhu Ziming walked to the market, his mind full of internal skill incantations, reciting them carefully and experiencing them carefully, unknowingly walking into a dark alley.

  However, just as Zhu Ziming was about to take the lead, two extremely fast figures flashed by, and then Zhu Ziming's vision went black, only to find himself covered in a snake skin bag.

  Zhu Ziming was tightly wrapped up, his arms and legs bound by two men from outside the bag, unable to move. He was then carried on the shoulders of two burly men, who hastily retreated into a corner, as if afraid someone would see them.

  "Hey, who are you? Let me go!" Zhu Ziming broke out in a cold sweat. Was it Yun Zhonghai seeking revenge or that killer girl coming to take his life?

  It's really bad that there are so many enemies, and I can't even tell who is who anymore.

  The other party is not coming with good intentions. Zhu Zi Ming thought carefully, wanting to say that Yun Zong Hai came to find trouble for himself. With the strength of the Yun Gate, he would never use such a despicable ambush tactic. And this mysterious expert Mei Wei, it seems even more unlikely. If she had found herself, she would have probably torn herself apart long ago. What's with the snake skin bag trick?

  Zhū Zǐ Míng thought he was going crazy, but no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't figure out who was behind this sinister move.

  However, in Zhu's clear thinking, he had already been gently put down by the two big men, lying on a seemingly hay-covered ground, with the snakeskin bag removed from his body, but the hemp rope still tied around him.

  As the snakeskin bag was opened, Zhu Ziming, who had not seen daylight for a while, found the sunlight that shot into his eyes particularly dazzling. He subconsciously turned away and scanned his surroundings with the corner of his eye.

  Before his eyes was a cluttered and disorderly woodshed, the woodshed was filled with hay and firewood, and in front of him stood two people who were very familiar to Zhu Ziming, surprisingly they were Yan Yilie's two bodyguards, who had even saved himself before.

  "What are you doing?!" Zhu Ziming naturally didn't believe that Yan Yulie, this good brother of his, would let them tie him up, and asked coldly.

  His brother's bodyguard even bullied him to his own head, Zhu Ziming's chest was gradually burning with anger, and he thought it was Yun Zonghai's subordinate, almost thinking that his life was not guaranteed.

  "Zhu Gongzi, we are also acting under orders and have no choice in the matter," they said with a bitter expression, clasping their fists together.

  Only know that the two brothers, the elder brother is called Lian Ping, and the second brother is called Lian Fan. Both are top-notch masters of the Shizi Fu, loyal and brave, deeply favored by Yan Yulie. However, it's not possible for them to carry out such a shameful task under Yan Yulie's orders, nor would they do so on their own accord... Could it be...

  "Hmm, you've done a great job!" Just as Zhu Ziming realized something, someone suddenly walked in from outside. She was wearing a light blue cotton jacket on top and a slightly longer purple skirt on the bottom. Her shiny black hair was adorned with a golden hairpin, her eyebrows were shaped like willows, her eyes were almond-shaped, her face was pale and delicate, and her skin was as smooth as milk foam. She looked to be around 15 or 16 years old, truly a beautiful young girl who would surely bring calamity to the country when she grew up.

  Just as Zhu Ziming was looking at her more and more, he felt that this beautiful little woman looked a bit familiar, his heart skipped a beat, she is...

  "Princess!" Lian Fan and Lian Ping bowed down, saying respectfully.

  County Lord! Zhu Ziming was stunned, Yan Yining is the Crown Prince, and this one is the County Lord, could it be that she is Yan's younger sister? But he has never mentioned her before.

  "Are you that Wang Xiaonian?" Zhu Ziming's heart was racing, and he carefully said, his mind secretly thinking, please don't be that little kid I bullied before, or else today is going to be a disaster.

  But things developed beyond Zhu Ziming's imagination, the young mistress bit her teeth and coldly smiled twice: "Let you guess it right, today we settle old and new accounts together!"

  The young princess's name is Yan Yutie, and Xiaolian was her childhood name. She was the treasured daughter of Zhen Nan Wang and also the younger sister of Yan Yinxia, who shared the same father but not the same mother.

  Yan Yiming is the crown prince, and his distant relatives are also imperial relatives. Zhu Ziming has been busy with school and training for the past few days and had forgotten about Wang Xiaonian. He was indeed remiss in his defense, and now he's fallen into her trap, which is truly a miscalculation.

  "County Master, it seems we don't have any new accounts to settle, do we?" Zhu Ziming said with a forced smile, his eyes rolling around in thought, trying to think of a way to turn bad luck into good fortune. But now that there were these two brothers, Lian Fan and the others, if they didn't let up, it seemed escape was impossible.

  The ropes were tied tightly, Zhu Ziming struggled slightly, helpless, could it be that today he would fall into the hands of this reckless little princess, unwilling to accept.

  "It took me a lot of effort to catch you," the little princess said, wrinkling her cute little nose in annoyance.

  Yan Yudie's face turned red with rage as she recalled how Deng Tuzi had insulted her and even physically assaulted her, and now he was acting so carelessly. She stood with her hands on her hips, looking like she wasn't going to let him off easy today.

  This is also a new account, Zhu Ziming was thoroughly helpless and said with a bitter face: "County Master, I really didn't know you were a woman at first, so I was bolder. If I knew you were the County Master, how dare I offend you?"
