Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 1040 - 529: Visit (Part 3)

Nangong Ou stared at Chen Xuantian, silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke,

"I wonder where your excellency hails from and where you’ve learned your skills."

Chen Xuantian smiled,

"I am a wilderness man from Jing Lake, who stumbled upon enlightenment in the mountains, suddenly opening my spiritual aperture."

Nangong Ou squinted his eyes,

"But I heard people say Wu Lian is the protector of the Heavenly King."

Chen Xuantian made a bow,

"Your majesty is wise. In my previous life, I was indeed from Kan State."

Nangong Ou suddenly rose, striding with the imposing demeanor of a dragon and tiger. He walked up to Chen Xuantian with a domineering presence, staring down into his eyes,

"What exactly do you all want from me?"

Chen Xuantian, enveloped in her massive shadow, remained courteous and smiled pleasantly,

"Born in troubled times, with heroes vying for supremacy, one is either the hunter or the prey. The Nangong Family is in the midst of power plays, sooner or later they must make a move. Why be hindered and controlled by others?

Striking first is the best strategy, delaying brings disaster. Now, amidst the great war in the Central Plains, the Three Constellations’ forces are sparse. If a special force could head north and directly capture Jiangdu, the great plan could be achieved, and the world could be united!

By then, depending on the situation, we can advance to unify the Central Plains or retreat without losing the position of king..."

"Hmph, speak such words to my son."

Nangong Ou interrupted him with a cold snort, turned on her heel to leave, but suddenly halted, looking sharply back,

"Where exactly did Tiantai go!"

Chen Xuantian bowed and replied,

"Killed by a Mountain Man."

Nangong Ou closed her eyes,

"You may leave, I’m weary."

"Namo Gatling~ I take my leave~"

Thus, as the plot sped past a day’s events, Chen Xuantian finally could return to his room to read...

Just as he sat down, he stood up again, opened the door, and helplessly looked at the maid wrapped in a robe standing at the door.

"Again... Ouch, were you beaten?"

The maid had a clear handprint on her face, tears glistening in her eyes, she glared angrily, as if Chen Xuantian had hit her, and fiercely cursed him,

"Who told you not to touch me! The mistress isn’t going to punish me! It’s all your fault!"

Chen Xuantian chuckled,

"Heh, if your mistress had slapped you, your head would have flown off~

Isn’t it that your young master scolded you, telling you to serve obediently, and not to make trouble for him at such a critical moment?"

The maid said nothing.

Saying nothing meant agreement.

Chen Xuantian shrugged, letting her come into the room.

"Come in!"

The maid, familiar with the place, came in and flipped her robe off, laid on the bed in a big character position, eyes closed, as if resigning to her fate.

Chen Xuantian gave her a sidelong glance,

"Hey, I say don’t overdo it, things shouldn’t go beyond three times, make plans early, escape when you can."

The maid frowned and raised her head,

"Why, you dislike me so much? You prefer men?"

Chen Xuantian, both amused and annoyed,

"Go away, you think you’re the only one suffering? I have refined the Primordial Yang, couldn’t just casually give it to you!"

The maid rolled over holding her head,

"Why are you like this! This you won’t do and that you won’t do! How can I hide it from those old women!"

Chen Xuantian flipping through his book, casually said,

"That’s nothing difficult, I’ll smear the guardian sand off for you, then you do two hundred squats at the wall corner."

"...Squats?"

"Yeah, if two hundred aren’t enough, then two thousand until your legs cramp and tremble, you can’t close them together, hold onto the wall, and no one will notice anything wrong."

The maid gave him a disdainful look,

"...Fatty, you’re no good either."

Chen Xuantian chuckled while flipping through his book,

"You always think being given to me is a great loss, don’t you just think the Young General really likes you, that he’ll still want you even after you were with me.

This is precisely the time to test his character, if he’s broad-minded, well and good. If a bit petty, he surely won’t let go of you easily.

If he sees something surprising, brings you into the palace, it’s not impossible either."

The maid stayed silent for a while,

"What if he doesn’t want me..."

Chen Xuantian spread his hands,

"Even if you have a thousand charms, try every trick to stay by his side.

When you grow old and lose your looks, and he’s tired of playing, wouldn’t you still be given to this fatty or sent to that bald man? How is it different from your current situation? 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Wouldn’t it be better to not be a caged bird early on, fly to see the world outside, might be happier than now?

And not only that, later on you might think of flying, but won’t be able to."

The maid said nothing more, turning around to face the wall.
