Do you really want me to say it?

"Damn it, you run into these kinds of people everywhere! It's disgusting..."

Zhao Ping'an couldn't help but complain in his heart.

When he saw the young girl named Zhao Huixin, his Great Grandmaster realm perception allowed him to see at a glance that the girl before him was no longer a virgin, and she was already pregnant.

This was in a feudal ancient society where most women valued chastity more than their lives.

Moreover, an act as outrageous as getting pregnant before marriage would lead to being drowned in a pig cage.

Although disgusted, Zhao Ping'an still greeted her with a smile. After all, he never intended to get involved with her, so her character was completely irrelevant to him.

After they exchanged pleasantries, Zhao Xiuyun pulled Wang Wenxiu into the back room, leaving Zhao Ping'an and Zhao Huixin staring at each other in the courtyard.

"You..."

"It's impossible between us, so give up! I hope this is the first and last time we meet! You can't give me the life I want..."

Zhao Ping'an looked speechlessly at Zhao Huixin, who was incessantly spouting nonsense, as if she were some prize.

The last time he felt this speechless was... the last time.

He just didn't want them to sit there in silence, he just wanted her to have some tea.

"Hoo... slurp, gulp!"

Since there was nothing else to do, Zhao Ping'an picked up the teacup in front of him, blew on it, took a sip, and watched the young girl, who wasn't old but had an inflated sense of self-worth, constantly boasting about herself and belittling him.

"Did you hear everything I said? We are people from two different worlds. It's impossible now, and even more so in the future."

About fifteen minutes later, Zhao Huixin finally stopped.

Looking at Zhao Huixin, who had sat down again, Zhao Ping'an put down his teacup and said slowly:

"Finished? Said enough? Then it's my turn to speak. First, you're right about one thing, we are not suitable. But it's you who isn't good enough for me, not the other way around. Of course, I'm not interested in you either. But you don't need to worry. Since you've found the one you love, I assume he will marry you."

"What are you talking about? What 'one I love'? And what do you mean I'm not good enough for you? You..."

"Hmm? What? Some things are better left unsaid between us. Do you really want me to say it? It will be a big trouble for you then..."

Seeing Zhao Huixin about to curse, Zhao Ping'an's expression turned cold, and a trace of his Great Grandmaster pressure flashed, immediately silencing her.

"You! Don't talk nonsense, I don't have anyone I love!"

Although Zhao Huixin dared not speak wildly to him after feeling Zhao Ping'an's Great Grandmaster pressure, her voice rose several octaves, clearly revealing that Zhao Ping'an had touched a sore spot.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? It's only been a short while, why are you two arguing?"

Her voice immediately attracted Zhao Xiuyun and the other person who were chatting inside.

"It's nothing, Mistress. Miss Zhao Huixin felt I said something wrong, so..."

Zhao Ping'an stood up and explained with a smile to Zhao Xiuyun.

"Said something wrong? What did you say?"

Zhao Xiuyun immediately asked in confusion.

"It's just..."

Zhao Ping'an wasn't afraid of trouble, but just as he started, he was interrupted by Zhao Huixin's sharp and piercing shout.

"Don't you dare! You're not allowed to say it!!! Or I'll make you regret it!!!"

"Presumptuous!!! A young lady, shouting so loudly, what kind of behavior is that? Ping'an, speak! I'd like to hear what you said?"

Zhao Huixin's words immediately made Zhao Xiuyun furious. How dare a mere junior, born of a concubine, shout at her? She was completely out of line.

"Yes, Mistress. She said I wasn't good enough for her, and that I was a toad wanting to eat swan meat. I said she wasn't good enough for me, and that she wasn't a virgin anymore. So I said since she already had someone she loved, that person would surely marry her, and then she became like this."

Zhao Ping'an stated the facts without exaggeration. Those were things Zhao Huixin had said earlier, and what he said was already very tactful.

"What? Not a virgin? Hmph! Wang Wenxiu! Your good daughter, take her and get out!"

Zhao Xiuyun grabbed Zhao Huixin's right hand, looked at her bare wrist, and with an ugly expression, turned to stare at her mother, pointing at the door and shouting.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

Wang Wenxiu immediately bowed and saluted, pulling her daughter to walk outside. She hadn't expected her daughter to be so bold as to lose her virginity mark!

"Oh, right. Remember to take your prenatal medicine when you get back. You've just gotten pregnant, so you need to rest more."

Watching the mother and daughter hurry away, Zhao Ping'an suddenly added softly.

"Prenatal medicine? This is too much! Too much!!!"

Zhao Xiuyun, already burning with rage, exploded again. This was completely trampling her face into the dirt.

"Mistress, please calm down. Why hurt yourself over an outsider?"

Zhao Ping'an immediately picked up the teapot, poured a cup of water, and handed it to his Mistress, Zhao Xiuyun, comforting her softly.

"Hmph, you're making me so angry, so angry! What kind of people are these? This matter isn't over. I must tell my second brother about this!"

Zhao Xiuyun took a sip of water, patting her chest repeatedly. She was clearly very angry.

"Mistress, anger harms the body. We shouldn't stoop to their level. Also, you don't need to worry about my affairs. Although my talent is just average, I can still support myself."

"Just like this..."

"Bang!"

Zhao Ping'an struck the hollow stone stool in front of him, leaving a clear palm print. The edges were neat, as if meticulously carved by a knife.

"This is?! True Qi!!! I... you..."

Zhao Xiuyun, who had been angry, immediately forgot her temper upon seeing the palm print, her shock rendering her speechless.

Her two elder brothers and husband were all Innate Realm experts. Although she wasn't, she was intimately familiar with Xiantian True Qi.

But Zhao Ping'an, a child she had watched grow up, had reached such a cultivation level without a sound, leaving her astonished.

"That's right, Xiantian True Qi! I hope Mistress will keep this a secret for me and not tell anyone. I don't want to break this peaceful life..."

At any time, with great power comes great responsibility. Sometimes, even if you hide in the deep mountains and old forests, people will find you through various means. This is reality.

"You want to hide it even from your Master?"

"Yes! Master's feelings for the Blazing Blade Sect are too deep. If he finds out, he will definitely tell the Sect Master, and then..."

Hearing Mistress's question, Zhao Ping'an answered without hesitation.

Although he grew up in the Blazing Blade Sect, it was Master and Mistress who gave him everything. He wouldn't fight to the death for the Blazing Blade Sect, nor did the Blazing Blade Sect deserve it.

"This, alright! Mistress will keep your secret!"
