Chapter 1392 Though living in the martial world, my mother dislikes fighting and killing.
"If the two of you chat like this every day, host, do you think Yi Xiaolan will ask Xu Shan for a divorce after a while?" 997 asked curiously.
However, the two of them have been quite polite so far and haven't done anything excessive.
Even though they both sensed the ambiguity between them, neither of them made a move, as if something was still missing.
However, their current relationship is already very dangerous. Yi Xiaolan has a somewhat willful personality, and she might actually come to her senses one day and propose a divorce to Xu Shan.
"It seems unlikely that she'll file for divorce in the short term unless something changes," Azhen said. "Yi Xiaolan is indeed somewhat willful, but she also cares a lot about her reputation and won't take that step easily; something needs to happen."
The current plot is quite different from the original development, and even with the client's memories, it's hard for Azhen to predict what might happen next.
But her intuition told her that Yi Xiaolan would get that opportunity.
To be precise, Shen Linsu was not someone who would sit idly by and wait for his fate. He went to great lengths to appear in front of Yi Xiaolan, and his purpose was definitely not just to spend time chatting with her every day.
Thinking of this, Azhen prepared to leave. After all, she already knew what Yi Xiaolan had been doing recently, and there was no point in staying here any longer.
To her surprise, a figure leaped from afar and landed right in front of her. However, the person approaching from a distance couldn't actually see her; only when they landed in that spot could they face her.
She paused for a moment, and the figure opposite her also paused for a moment. Then, the figure flashed and jumped to a distance, as if it had just been passing by.
Azhen glanced in that direction, but the figure had already disappeared. However, she clearly sensed that the other party was still hiding in the shadows.
"White robes, a bamboo hat, and such graceful lightness of movement—they look like they're from the Star Moon Palace. Judging by their figure and the flute they're holding, they're very likely Chao Xianxue, the eldest disciple of Princess Chaoyue of the Star Moon Palace." 997 said, "Host, the Star Moon Palace has already come here; they're clearly after the Heavenly Blade. Knowing their style, they'll act quickly once they get the chance."
The fact that 997 could say so much suggests that the Star Moon Palace clearly occupies a significant place in the client's memories.
In the martial arts world, Xingyue Palace is not a reputable sect; on the contrary, it has been labeled as an evil sect.
The people of Xingyue Palace are extremely arrogant and domineering, but no one in the martial arts world can really do anything about them. Xingyue Palace is powerful, and Chaoyue's martial arts are superb. Without a sure chance of success, no one dares to openly provoke them.
"I guess so," A-Zhuang replied to 997, then leaped away into the distance.
She wasn't worried about what Chao Xianxue would say to the two people in the room. If given the chance, they would probably kidnap Yi Xiaolan from the private room and use her to exchange for the Wentian Blade from Xu Shan. Moreover, as far as she knew, Chao Xianxue wasn't a talkative person.
But now that the other party is clearly a teenager, is he being sent to do these things?
[The Star Moon Palace isn't exactly a pleasant place, so it's perfectly normal for her to be assigned these kinds of tasks from a young age.] 997 said, [It's just that Chao Yue probably never imagined that Chao Xianxue was born extraordinary!]
Azhen chimed in: "Yes, it's truly rare to be born with such knowledge. And this is in the mortal world; almost no one would realize this, nor would they believe such a thing could happen."
Azhen went straight to the blacksmith's shop and continued blacksmithing. This time, she made rapid progress.
As dusk fell, a respectable-looking dagger had been forged. Aside from lacking some materials to improve its quality, the dagger seemed perfect to the blacksmith's master. He held it up and examined it again and again, praising it to Azhen repeatedly. In the end, he could only watch helplessly as Azhen took the dagger and left with Xu Shan.
It's worth mentioning that when Xu Shan finished his work, if it was early, he would pass by the blacksmith's shop and pick up Azhen on the way back. "Your mother seems to have improved her temper a lot recently," Xu Shan said. "I heard she's taken a liking to listening to storytelling. It's good to have something you enjoy."
A-Zhuang sensed the relaxation in Xu Shan's tone and thought to herself that her adoptive father was celebrating too soon.
Yi Xiaolan's heart could no longer be held onto.
Xu Shan said this, and Azhen could only agree: "Yes, Mother hasn't been targeting me recently, and she hasn't been showing favoritism to others while ignoring me."
She simply ignored all the children currently living in the Yan family, including Shen Yue, and wasn't as enthusiastic as she had been at the beginning.
However, since it was Shen Yue's first time leaving Peach Blossom Manor and she was accompanied by peers, she was curious about everything and failed to notice Yi Xiaolan's unusual behavior.
Upon hearing Azhen's words, Xu Shan couldn't help but sigh, feeling somewhat helpless.
"Father, what do you think of the dagger I made today?" Azhen handed the dagger to Xu Shan to prevent him from having any wild thoughts.
Xu Shan took a look and his eyes showed appreciation. He was very happy and praised Azhen several times.
"When I'm skilled enough in the future, I'll forge a special knife for my father and pass it down to him," Azhen said.
Xu Shan repeatedly agreed, even though he knew becoming a weapons master was not an easy task, he still looked forward to it.
The next few days were very peaceful.
Because Yi Xiaolan was in such a good mood, she found everyone agreeable, even Azhen, who liked blacksmithing and martial arts, she couldn't be bothered with. Every morning, she would go to the teahouse where storytellers performed, rain or shine, because everyone knew she loved listening to storytellers.
The guards accompanying her only stood watch outside the private room and were unaware that there were other people inside. Except for the first day when Shen Linsu, disguised, showed himself to the guards, he always appeared through a hidden door in the private room.
He told Yi Xiaolan that it was inconvenient for him to do things and that he needed to hide his identity.
Yi Xiaolan didn't think much of it. After all, there were quite a few people watching her in the shadows. If Shen Linsu appeared around her often, it would definitely arouse suspicion. She didn't really want more people to see her chatting with Shen Linsu every day, as it might lead to gossip.
On this day, Azhen and Xu Shan returned to the Yan family and found that Yi Xiaolan had not yet returned.
"It should be soon, let's wait a little longer," Shen Miao said. "Recently, Sister Xiaolan has been very fond of the storytelling in the teahouse. Perhaps she listened a little late today because the teahouse closed late."
“Yes, there’s no rush.” Yan Rugo replied, glancing at the children before instructing a servant, “Go get some snacks for them to have a little something to eat.”
"Uncle, we're not really hungry, we can wait." Shen Yue said this, but when the snacks were brought out, she still ate them without any politeness, and even invited Azhen and the others to eat with her, which made everyone laugh.
However, a sudden whooshing sound rang out in the air, followed by a dart hurtling towards them from afar. (End of Chapter)
