Everything was just as Lian Xing had predicted; the enraged king had indeed started to take action, beginning a large-scale search for Ye Xunhuan and others in Yecheng. He even stationed people at every possible exit from Yecheng, vowing not to rest until Ye Xunhuan and the others were found.

When Lian Xing became aware of all this, she remained unperturbed. After all, she had foreseen all of this long ago.

Lian Xing continued as usual, staying in Lianxiang Residence and doing what she always did, with everything appearing unchanged from before.

While searching for Ye Xunhuan, the king was also looking for Lian Xing.

After all, when Lian Xing had previously faced off against the king, she demonstrated an unnerving understanding of him, and the technique Rain Falling on Cold Sand made the king quite apprehensive.

In the king’s mind, Rain Falling on Cold Sand was a formidable skill from the Tang Sect, many times more superior than Flower Rain, while being virtually impossible to defend against!

However, for years, no one had mastered Rain Falling on Cold Sand, to the point where it was widely regarded as lost.

Yet now, Lian Xing had struck the king with a Rain Falling on Cold Sand, filling the king’s heart with unprecedented shock and disbelief.

When did the Tang Sect produce such a terrifying woman?

This led the king to send people to investigate the Tang Sect in Sichuan.

Lian Xing was truly fearsome, posing as much of a threat to the king as Ye Xunhuan did. The king needed to find and kill Lian Xing.

Knowing that Lian Xing intended to kill him, how could the king possibly let her go?

But the king would probably never guess that Lian Xing was not part of the Tang Sect, and that she was currently right in Lianxiang Residence in Yecheng.

Still, it was quite normal that the king did not realize this, considering that Lianxiang Residence was merely a place of entertainment, and Lian Xing was simply a famous courtesan; why would the king pay attention to her?

Though the king was searching for Ye Xunhuan and the others, he was also healing from his wounds.

He did indeed drive away Ye Xunhuan and his companions, but he was injured himself, gravely so.

The king was not staying in the Ye family residence, but rather in a location within the direct line of the Ye family.

Having gone to the Ye family’s direct lineage, Xiao Jiangnan naturally followed the king.

Given that the king was injured, he needed someone to watch over him, to prevent anyone from taking advantage of this opportunity to attack him.

Moreover, Xiao Jiangnan believed that news of the king’s injury would inevitably spread, and if someone came to kill the king, it would truly be a life-or-death situation for him.

If the king were to die, Huaxia’s ancient martial artists would certainly be thrown into chaos, with factions forming on their own.

While the king was alive, he could intimidate everyone, preventing Huaxia’s ancient martial artists from becoming a scattered force. Hence, the king could not die under any circumstances right now.

After adjusting his breath, although the king’s face was still somewhat pale, it looked much better than before.

Seeing the king open his eyes, Xiao Jiangnan hurriedly asked with concern, "Your Majesty..."

As soon as Xiao Jiangnan spoke, the king seemed to anticipate what Xiao Jiangnan wanted to say and softly interrupted him, "My injury won’t heal quickly; it can’t recover in a short time!"

With that, a deep bitterness slowly appeared on the king’s face.

The king had originally planned in his mind to find an opportunity to fake a situation, pretending to have fought Ye Xunhuan to mutual destruction, thereby forcing Ke Qinghong out and making him take action against himself.

Yet now, things had backfired!

If Ke Qinghong suddenly appeared at this moment, the king would absolutely not be able to handle him.

The king knew this clearly in his heart.

"But if news of your injury spreads..."

"Relay the news to the Jun family and have them prepare," the king interrupted Xiao Jiangnan again. "Meanwhile, bring in troops from the national protectors; I need elites!"

"This time, I want them all dead in Yecheng," the king said through gritted teeth.

This time, Ye Xunhuan truly and utterly infuriated the king, and it had been ages since he had been this humiliated.

Xiao Jiangnan could clearly feel the anger in the king’s heart and promptly said, "I understand."

"You stay here in Yecheng to oversee things; I need to find someone," the king said heavily. "As long as he arrives, no one will be able to stir up trouble!"

Upon hearing the king’s words, Xiao Jiangnan’s heart was moved, and as if he suddenly realized something, he immediately asked, "Are you going to invite Lin Yuhai out?"

The king did not deny it and directly acknowledged, "Right now, only he can intimidate everyone!"

Xiao Jiangnan opened his mouth, wanting to say more, but upon reconsideration, he felt the king made a valid point, so he didn’t add anything!

...

As the night slowly enveloped the earth, Yecheng, as a major city in Huaxia and a seaport city, naturally bustled with activity.

Likewise, Lianxiang Residence was just as lively as usual today, a veritable scene of indulgence and revelry.

As the owner and leading star of Lianxiang Residence, Lian Xing naturally could not fail to make an appearance.

However, this time Lian Xing left Lianxiang Residence after just a fleeting visit.

While many felt disappointed by this, no one said much, nor did anyone, emboldened by some alcohol, dare to forcefully keep Lian Xing there.

It’s not that they didn’t want to, but rather they didn’t dare.

Because Lianxiang Residence had its own rules.

After leaving Lianxiang Residence, Lian Xing went to find Ye Xunhuan and Olivia.

At this moment, Ye Xunhuan had already woken up.

Though awake, Ye Xunhuan was severely injured by the king, making him appear very weak.

When Lian Xing arrived, Ye Xunhuan and Olivia had already eaten and were sitting on the sofa chatting.

Since Olivia had already told Ye Xunhuan that the woman who intervened was Lian Xing, when he saw Lian Xing, he wasn’t very surprised.

After all, Olivia had told him, and Ye Xunhuan had thought from the first time he saw Lian Xing that she was not ordinary.

"Are you alright?" Lian Xing asked softly, looking at Ye Xunhuan.

"It requires a few days of recuperation," Ye Xunhuan said lightly. "However, I didn’t expect we would meet again so soon, or that you would be even stronger than I imagined!"

Lian Xing smiled gracefully, humbly replying, "You flatter me, Mr. Ye; how could I possibly compare myself to you!"

Ye Xunhuan chuckled, "Miss Lian Xing, I’m very curious about who you really are; being so young yet so skilled, even the best ancient martial families might not be able to cultivate such talent!"
