Song Cheng quickly returned.

Surprised, Su Ningyu looked at him and asked, "Aren’t you from a noble family?"

Song Cheng shook his head.

Resting her chin on her palm, Su Ningyu gazed at him and said out of the blue, "Scholar, be with me again tonight. After that, I’ll head back to the Su Family. I’m afraid it might take a long time this time. But you have to be quick, as the rot poison within me is still unresolved."

Thereupon, the two indulged as casually as a scholar and a young lady would savoring tea in a chamber, with each sip and sip.

The clangor of iron cavalry burst forth, and a silver vessel shattered, splashing the liquid far and wide.

Their "tea" finished.

Su Ningyu gave Song Cheng a gentle kiss on the forehead, saying, "Don’t worry, Su Houzhang won’t have the chance to seek revenge on you anymore," then her Divine Soul suddenly departed, and Ling hazily came to her senses. Gazing at her sticky body, she instantly knew what had happened and, joy filling her heart, she quickly came up with a ruse. Pretending to still be Su Ningyu, she sidled up to him, put on a stern face, and assumed the air she imagined the Fox Immortal Su would have when talking to Charm, murmuring, "Scholar, I want more."

...

...

For a Longevity Person who enjoys "keeping the home," welcoming and sending off seemed to have become routine.

Su Ningyu left.

Song Cheng did not know how she would handle the situation at the Su Family.

He wasn’t omnipotent; all he could do was to guard Pearl Mountain daily, to protect what was beside his home.

No one knew that he had just flattened the mastermind behind the "Northern Snow State disturbance."

However, he was indeed worried about retaliation from Su Houzhang, so after some thought, he moved the slightly bulging-chested An Chenyu, along with Ying and Ling, to a secret spot deep within Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple.

That secret place was an elegant environment, where flowers and butterflies danced together, very quiet.

Lady Zhushan took her rest, meandering through the mountains and waters.

And in that same environment, he practiced his cultivation.

Zhao Hua was among the very few who knew that the "Northern Region Blade King" had not gone to the Northern Snow State battlefield.

One day, probably worried that his elder brother might find it dull, he brought a lot of fine wine from afar, arrived at Pearl Mountain Temple, and chatted with Song Cheng about the war front situation and recent events in Heavenly Mansion City.

There were many and complicated affairs, mostly involving power shifts. Song Cheng listened as if hearing stories, laughing now and then, clinking his cup with Hua’s, and occasionally asking Zhao Hua about his cultivation progress.

After several such conversations, Zhao Hua suddenly said, "Big Brother, since Medicinal Humans are so useful, why don’t we build a force of them?"

Song Cheng was startled for a moment, then decided not to hide anything from his sworn brother and explained "the raw materials" and "certain limitations of Medicinal Humans."

"Medicinal Humans are similar to Ghost Servants but inferior to them.

Their self-reliance is quite poor; relying on Medicinal Humans for tasks results in a situation like the first floor of Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

They can be enforcers and protectors but nothing more.

As for the formula for Medicinal Humans, your sister-in-law and us are different; she believes in a code of ethics. Lady Zhushan entrusted her with the heritage, and she’s unwilling to tell anyone without that lady’s permission.

Of course, if I pressed her to talk, she would, but that wouldn’t be right."

"I understand..." Zhao Hua pondered, then said, "As for Lady Zhushan, I just received news this morning that an envoy from the Northern Barbarians is headed our way. I guess it must have something to do with Big Brother."

"Big Brother, Big Brother..." Song Cheng suddenly smiled, "Let’s show some respect to Estate Master Ouyang."

With a grin, Zhao Hua said, "No need, from now on, the brotherhood is just between you and me."

After saying this, he leaned in and added, "Not to hide it from you, Big Brother, but I’m soon to become Estate Master Ouyang’s son-in-law.

Once a son-in-law, it would obviously be improper to remain brothers.

And after all, our father-in-law joined our brotherhood simply for benefits... Now with a better alliance through marriage on the horizon, family standing is more important than brotherhood."

Seeing those around him starting their own families, Song Cheng also felt quite happy.

Suddenly, a spring rain arrived, but as the two were deep in conversation, chatting now about the Ouyang family girls, now about various other matters, the time flew until evening, when Zhao Hua finally took his leave.

...

...

Several days later...

A letter was delivered into Tong Jia’s hands.

It was from Lady Zhushan.

Tong Jia found Song Cheng to read it together.

The letter simply asked a four-word question: Fox Immortal? Fox Ghost?

Tong Jia replied directly: Fox Immortal.

However, Song Cheng kept her letter down, for to Lady Zhushan, this wasn’t a matter to respond to by letter, but one that needed proof.

And the only way to prove it was in Northern Snow State.

If Five and a Half Hall and Su Houzhang had collaborated, then they surely knew plenty.

After some thought, he carefully wrote a reply, essentially saying, "The Great Hall Master of Five and a Half Hall should be able to confirm it."

...

...

Once the letter was sent, there was no further sound.

Some time later, Song Cheng heard that the Northern Barbarians, too, had deployed Demon Beast Cavalry to march south towards Northern Snow State.

He knew that this was almost certainly the doing of Lady Zhushan, and after much consideration, the Great Barbarian King thought the southern lands fertile. Why stick to the north when he could go south?

Time flashed by, and it was mid-April.

The wilderness fog grew deeper and deeper.

And although it was already spring, the temperature remained cool, with an odd premonition of regression.

News from the front line also came back.

Six Towns and Hanping Prefecture, allied with the Barbarian Army, took over Northern Snow State and exterminated Five and a Half Hall.

In this, Six Towns’ combat power was surprisingly strong.

...

Another half a month passed, and amidst the deep spring’s cold mist, Lady Zhushan, along with the Northern Barbarian Demon Beasts, returned from afar and knocked at Hanping Prefecture’s gates.

The guards of Hanping Prefecture stood in strict defense, not daring to open the gates.

Even though it was Lady Zhushan, they dared not.

Because in everyone’s eyes, even though this lady had brought peace, she had also been labeled as a Northern Barbarian.
