The Commandery Princess's Nephew, Scorned by All-You, Li Xian, Remove Your Mask

Li Jinkui was demoted to platoon leader. The Wolfhead Army could not be without a leader, so the green-skirted woman Lü Ya, was temporarily put in charge. Among the four close maids of Commandery Princess Anyang, Qingyao was the most beautiful and possessed exceptional grace and charm. Huang Su was arrogant, Hong Luo was hot-tempered, and Lü Ya was quiet. Lü Ya was tall, but her appearance was only average; she was not particularly striking among the four, yet she was very capable, managing the Wolfhead Army with great efficiency and displaying the demeanor of a female general.

Li Xian was forced to go undercover. Along with other fellow sufferers, they were transported to a mansion. They were forbidden from speaking to each other or looking at one another. Later, they were separated and imprisoned, each in a narrow and cramped bedroom.

There was only a wooden bed and a candlestick. It was dark and stuffy with no windows or wind. Li Xian's black armor had been removed, but as an "undercover agent," his face could not be easily revealed, so he still wore his mask. He sat cross-legged, calmly accepting his situation, completely composed.

"This Commandery Princess Anyang is no innocent victim. She forced me to infiltrate Jade City. This is a deep-seated grudge, and I will certainly avenge it if I have the chance. But since she dared to make us complete strangers infiltrate Jade City for her, she must have the means to manipulate us!"

After waiting for half an hour, there was a knock on the door of the narrow room. A partition in the middle was pushed open, and a bowl of purple soup was handed over. Qingyao said, "If you want to serve the Commandery Princess, you must drink this soup first."

Li Xian picked up the soup, sniffed it lightly, and smelled the aroma of hundreds of herbs. This was a bowl of poisonous soup, made with ninety-seven kinds of poisons. Once drunk, it would be like maggots clinging to bones, extremely difficult to neutralize. Only by taking the antidote could the poison be neutralized.

However, to prepare the antidote, one must know the toxicity of each of the "ninety-seven" poisons. One must also know the order in which the poisons are added; if even the slightest mistake is made, the toxicity will become increasingly complex.

Li Xian thought to himself, "What a vicious mind, what ruthless methods! Even though I have Pure Yang Body and can resist the poison's effects, this poison is complex and potent, a unique formula. It's difficult to completely resist it. If I drink it, my life will truly be in the Commandery Princess's hands. When the poison takes effect, only the Commandery Princess can provide an antidote to alleviate the symptoms."

He knew the effects of the poison. Every night, for a certain hour, he would feel weak and aching all over, with alternating chills and fever, itching all over his body, and a bone-chilling pain that felt like ants were biting him, making him wish he were dead. The Commandery Princess was very thoughtful and deliberately chose the "night" when the poison would take effect, because she was already asleep at night and there was no one around.

There's no need to reveal any flaws when the poison takes effect; instead, one can remain constantly vigilant, enveloped in fear. Since she began planning her grand scheme, Commandery Princess Anyang has secretly recruited poison masters to research this extraordinary poison. Recently, she even gained a capable lieutenant with profound knowledge of poisons, making her use of poisons even more unconventional.

Li Xian scanned the room with his sharp eyes, knowing that the narrow room was dark, but several mechanisms were hidden in the corners. These mechanisms could project the scene inside the room into a mirror. Commandery Princess Anyang and the others must be observing from the shadows, and if he dared to disobey, his life would be in danger.

After pondering for a moment, he drank the poisoned soup in one gulp. It was spicy and pungent, and the aroma of dozens of poisons and nearly a hundred auxiliary medicines rushed into his mouth. The poison took effect immediately, and his whole body burned and sweated, and then gradually became itchy and painful.

Li Xian Pure Yang Body and extremely high endurance. Despite the intense pain and itching, he was able to maintain his composure. However, he knew that Commandery Princess Anyang was secretly observing him, and if she knew that he had strong resistance to poison, she would surely add another strange poison to feed him.

Therefore, they endured for a while, then pretended to wail and roll around in bed as if they were in unbearable pain. This kind of tragedy occurred in many narrow rooms, lasting for half an hour, before they finally stopped, their bodies soaked, and lay down to sleep in bed.

In the main hall of the mansion, Commandery Princess Anyang held up a bronze mirror before her, with purple smoke curling around it. The smoke swirled around the mirror, reflecting the scenes in the various rooms. Commandery Princess Anyang nodded and said, "This poison is excellent. If Xu Cheng were to drink it, I doubt he would dare to harbor any rebellious thoughts, even if he had ten times the courage. Poison Consort, your talent is extraordinary. Please give me the wine."

Hao Qingshe, dressed in Black Robe, sat in the hall. Her former beauty was gone; her cheeks were sunken, her complexion was yellowish, and she looked withered and emaciated, with white hair. She coughed lightly from time to time, appearing sickly and listless.

turn out to be--

Hao Qingshe encountered Wen Caishang that day. Although he was not killed by a single blow, he was torn in several pieces and lost a lot of flesh. His injuries were extremely severe. Even if he immediately took rare and precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures and life-saving medicines, it would be difficult for him to fully recover.

Wen Caishang's palm strike was powerful and had great staying power. After the palm left her hand, the palm strike continued to evolve endlessly, tormenting her day after day, causing her unbearable suffering. Hao Qingshe was tormented and haggard, but she was completely helpless. She was good at using poison, but not good at healing. To neutralize the evolution of the palm strike, her martial arts skills, insights, and strength were all far from sufficient.

At that moment, he thought, "Ah—I, Hao Qingshe, am still going to die under this palm." He was in a daze all day, dragging his injured palm. Just when he was at his wit's end, he happened to hear that a great figure was recruiting poison masters.

Hao Qingshe thought, "My injuries are entirely beyond my control; I have no chance of healing them on my own. Rather than living like this, I might as well risk my life for someone else and perhaps have a sliver of hope for survival." So he followed the trail.

When they finally met the important figure, they learned that he was "Commandery Princess Anyang," a blood relative of the Great Martial Dynasty. Hao Qingshe immediately discussed his terms, saying that he was willing to risk his life for the Commandery Princess, but he needed Commandery Princess to heal his injury.

Commandery Princess Anyang didn't respond, but instead ordered Hao Qingshe to demonstrate her poison skills. Hao Qingshe was eccentric and never played by the rules. At the Flower Cage Sect, she arbitrarily arrested people to practice poisons, and she never kept her promises or kept her word. Seeing Commandery Princess Anyang's aloofness, she really wanted to leave. However, with her life in danger, her temperament changed again.

If she were to employ poison techniques, her most proficient martial arts, particularly those involving torture, would perfectly suit Commandery Princess Anyang's tastes. She immediately recruited her and sent people to investigate her injuries. Upon examination, Commandery Princess Anyang exclaimed in surprise, "Who have you offended? Your injuries are so severe; whoever injured you is no ordinary person!"

Hao Qingshe said, "If the Commandery Princess cannot be cured, it will be fine for me to stay here."

Commandery Princess Anyang said, "Cure is not difficult, but it will take at least a year and a half, and at most ten and a half years. You have caused trouble and harmed countless people. Once you enter my Commandery Princess's mansion, you must change your name and cover up your identity, and from now on be called Poisonous Consort."

"I will first use heavenly materials and earthly treasures and thirteen rare and precious pills to stabilize your life. Later, I will ask a renowned physician on the Divine Healer Ranking healers to take care of your injuries. But you must obey my orders. You need to know that saving your life is easy, but killing you is even easier."

Through a combination of kindness and severity, Hao Qingshe was subdued and suppressed. Having already been disciplined by Wen Caishang, Hao Qingshe's arrogant nature had been tempered. When faced with this situation again, his spirit was completely extinguished. He then became a poisoner in the mansion, at her beck and call.

After Hao Qingshe's life was spared, she was given a miraculous poison that could control people and completely subjugate them. Commandery Princess Anyang was delighted upon hearing this and immediately found some ordinary people to infiltrate Jade City to test the effects of the poison. It was indeed effective, and she praised Hao Qingshe generously.

He bestowed upon her a "Profound Ice Cold Bed" to alleviate nighttime pain. Hao Qingshe became even more desperate, and the poisonous soup became increasingly bizarre and difficult to cure. He even aimed to use ordinary poisons to concoct incurable and rare poisons.

Inside the hall, Hao Qingshe said, "Commandery Princess, you may not know, but this poison has another remarkable effect!" Commandery Princess Anyang, sitting behind a golden curtain, asked, "Oh? What remarkable effect?"

Hao Qingshe said, "Since the Poisonous Consort has submitted to the Commandery Princess, she should naturally consider the Commandery Princess's needs in everything she does. But the Poisonous Consort's poison is contagious!"

Commandery Princess Anyang frowned and said, "Poisonous Consort, I think you haven't understood. My Commandery Princess is definitely not extermination. While the spread of poison and plague could certainly cause widespread death, Jade City has several renowned Divine Healer Ranking Physician Ranking. The disease will be cured before it even spreads. Exposing our plan would be a greater loss than gain."

Hao Qingshe said, "Commandery Princess, you are unaware of this. This poison is not passed down from one person to another, but from father to son, and from son to grandson—passed down through the entire lineage. If the Commandery Princess you planted is capable of marrying and having children, then all your descendants will be at your Commandery Princess! What will become of this poison then?"

Commandery Princess Anyang remained silent for a long time before exclaiming with delight, "Excellent poison! It deserves a reward!" She ordered her men to bring over a large wooden box containing ginseng as tall as a person. Hao Qingshe was overjoyed. This was "Ice Mountain Snow Ginseng," produced in the Myriad-Mile Snow Mountains of the Northern Heaven Region. With this miraculous medicine, although his injuries would be difficult to fully recover, he would feel much better.

Hao Qingshe immediately took her leave. Qingyao cupped her hands and said, "Commandery Princess, a total of one hundred and forty people have all taken poison and fallen asleep."

Commandery Princess Anyang nodded without speaking. Qingyao said, "Commandery Princess, this matter shouldn't be my concern. However, these ordinary people are already struggling to survive in their native lands. To want to settle down in Jade City would be even more difficult. To invest so much effort in this is simply thankless."

Commandery Princess Anyang rubbed her temples and said, "I am naturally aware of this matter. Jade City is as solid as a rock and as impregnable as a rock."

In the past, even when a monstrous dragon danced and stirred up towering waves, it could not shake the foundation of Jade City. These ordinary people, no matter how many there are, will find it extremely difficult to subdue them.

It turns out that although Commandery Princess Anyang's plan had been in place for a long time and had already yielded results, and her influence had extended somewhat into Jade City, she faced a major bottleneck: ordinary people who entered Jade City rarely had a chance to survive. They often ended up begging on the streets, living a miserable life with limited means.

While the carefully cultivated spies hold slightly better positions, they are far from reaching the core of Jade City. The plan of infiltrating is merely a casual, unpredictable move. To rely on them to destroy Jade City is, in fact, premature.

Commandery Princess Anyang sighed, "Though I cherish talent, it simply won't come to me. Such is fate; I can only wait patiently." Qingyao said, "I think that Qingning Li Xian is quite talented."

Commandery Princess Anyang asked, "Qingning Li Xian?" After a long pause, remembering this person, she sipped her tea and said calmly, "I have seen many such people in the past. They are certainly eloquent. Whether they are true heroes or not, we will only know in the future."

For the next four days, Li Xian was fed poisonous soup morning and night. He could endure it, but he pretended to writhe and turn over in agony. After drinking the poison for a long time, he felt the toxin seep into his body and adhere to his blood, making it extremely difficult to remove.

Li Xian thought to himself, "Although this poison is difficult to cure, once I enter Jade City, I should be able to gradually try to neutralize it with my Ghost Doctor skills. I just don't know when Commandery Princess Anyang will keep me imprisoned."

Despite his physical condition, the poison had taken a heavy toll on him. However, Li Xian had died and then returned to life, his internal organs were strong, and his body was of pure Yang nature, giving him the Unseen resistance that surpassed that of others. Although he suffered greatly when the poison took effect, he was able to endure it without showing any abnormalities.

On the fifth night, the poisoned soup was nowhere to be seen, but agonizing screams could be heard coming from the narrow room next door. The poison had already seeped into the bones, and would take effect even without the soup. Li Xian was in the same state, covered in cold sweat, his body aching and itchy, as if a thousand ants were biting him.

From that day forward, each morning and noon they were given a bowl of plain porridge to fill their stomachs. In the evening, a stick of poisonous incense was brought to them, and they were instructed to light it before sleeping. This incense was meant to solidify the effects of the poison and subtly allow the toxins to circulate and be metabolized within their bodies.

Like the growth of blood, it spontaneously generates toxins. If one falls victim to this attack, it's not just poisoning, but turning one into a poisonous being. It's undeniably vicious. However, Li Xian had a way to avoid it. He built a stove in his belly, Qi-Boiling Clear-Cooking, allowing the pure air to linger in his nasal cavity.

Then, use "Xun Wind Breath" to make your breathing light and gentle, with pure energy lingering around you. Inhale the poisonous gas into your body, and it will immediately be neutralized by the pure energy. Skillfully avoid this step, without revealing the slightest flaw.

He said with relief, "I have learned a lot of miscellaneous skills in the past, which will be of great help when needed. Without this Xun Wind Breath, even though I can breathe pure air and am not afraid of poisonous gas, it will surely arouse suspicion from Commandery Princess Anyang and the others."

The fragrance lingered for three more days. Those around were in unbearable pain, and every night they would let out agonizing screams. There were sounds of heads banging against wooden planks, bodies slamming against each other, chests being pounded and feet stamped, and hoarse cries—

"We shouldn't send poison incense today."

Li Xian Proficiency medical principles, and Ghost Doctor and toxicology were inseparable. Although the Ghost Doctor disdained using poison, he inevitably had to deal with many toxicological principles when treating poison. Over time, he also became knowledgeable about toxicology. Every day, Li Xian would smell the fragrance and ponder it, knowing that this fragrance should be similar to "Blood-Fixing Fragrance Powder".

The so-called "Blood-Fixing Fragrance Powder" is a strange poison, yet it is used as rouge. This Incense Gathering seep into the body, making the body smell fragrant for a long time. Following this principle, this poisonous fragrance transforms into "Poison-Fixing Turbidity Powder," causing the body's toxins to multiply endlessly, making it difficult to treat and cure.

The fragrance lasted for three days, just right. It caused the poison to rage within the body, but did not harm the life. Li Xian observed silently that day and, sure enough, no poisonous fragrance was sent. Instead, a pill was sent.

Simply by taking the pill, all the pain and itching throughout his body vanished instantly. He felt indescribably refreshed. From that day on, the poison never returned. The narrow room was quiet and peaceful, with only the occasional, loud snores that could be heard.

In the dim light, Li Xian lay sprawled on the bed, gazing at the low ceiling. He was tall; if he stood up straight, he would touch it. He pondered, "That Commandery Princess Anyang is ruthless. First the Hundred-Poison Soup, then the Poison-Fixing Turbidity Powder —it's clear this isn't the first time she's forced people to act as spies. They're born to rule, able to portray evil as good. We are utterly innocent, yet she forcibly dragged us here, forced us to drink poison, and made us work for her. By sheer luck, I've barely survived. Now, my mind is filled with countless thoughts, but I have no way to act. Once I reach Jade City, I'll try to find a way to survive!"

He fell asleep peacefully, silently reciting the "Medical Heart Scripture" and the "Medical Ethics Scripture" in his heart, quietly improving his medical skills. Suddenly, he heard a creaking sound from a door in the distance.

Three footsteps sounded. One was weak and hurried, while the other two were orderly and orderly, like two soldiers carrying someone away. Li Xian knew there was a projection in the narrow room, so he dared not make any rash moves. He silently read the scriptures while keeping a close watch.

The next morning, the man did not return. Several more people were taken away one after another. Li Xian could vaguely judge their strength by listening to their footsteps, whether they were heavy or light, steady or buoyant.

Most of them were ordinary people, doctors, and weavers—with no particular strengths and no martial arts skills. A few were skilled in martial arts, the strongest being a middle-aged man who had achieved the "First Martial Realm." Yet even he was captured and there was nothing he could do.

Li Xian thought to himself, "I Second Martial Realm. If I were to encounter such a tragedy, wouldn't I be even more unlucky?" He continued to sleep peacefully. He took away more than ten people every day. After more than seven days, Li Xian was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard someone stopping outside the door.

He had already woken up, but pretended to be in a deep sleep. He waited for the door to open, and there stood Qingyao in the corridor, holding a candle, with a Wolfhead Army on each side. Qingyao flicked her finger, and the flame shone into the candlelight in the room.

Qingyao said, "The Commandery Princess wants to see you, please come with me." Li Xian followed, sizing up Qingyao, and cupped his hands in a smile, saying, "Sister Qing, what brings the Commandery Princess to see me? Could you please tell me? I would be extremely grateful."

Qingyao shook her head and said, "I sent nearly a hundred people, and upon hearing the name of the Commandery Princess, they were all so frightened that their legs went weak and they couldn't walk. And you, on the other hand, still have the leisure to flirt with me?"

Li Xian asked in confusion, "Why did I tease you?" He was very puzzled. Qingyao said, "Am I familiar with you?

You called me "Sister Qing" the moment you opened your mouth. You don't know my age, and we have absolutely no connection. Why are you calling me so intimately? I think you're a lecherous man.

Li Xian thought to himself, "Then you're right. When I was Flower Thief, I was actually quite a figure in the Water Altar." Completely unconcerned, knowing this woman was easy to talk to, he casually said, "I call you Sister Qing out of respect. Sister Qing is kind-hearted, and I respect you from the bottom of my heart, so I call you Sister Qing regardless of your age or appearance. Even if you were an old woman, an ugly monster, or had blue teeth, I wouldn't change my address. Besides—I don't even know your name. Seeing that you always wear a blue dress, if I don't call you Sister Qing, what should I call you?"

Qingyao thought to herself, "You can choose not to shout at all." She then said, "Kind-hearted? The poisonous soup you drink every day is given to you by me. And you still think I'm kind-hearted?"

Li Xian said, "That day I knew I couldn't escape, so I willingly surrendered. Sister Qing didn't humiliate me, and I'm grateful. As for taking the poisoned soup—since I'm acting on behalf of the Commandery Princess, I should abide by Commandery Princess rules. It's only right and proper."

Qingyao suddenly stopped, thinking, "This boy is indeed different from others. I know he's innocent, just dragged into this. That's why I took the initiative to capture him. If it were Hong Luo, Huang Su, or the others who had captured him, he might have been able to hold out longer, but in this situation, it would have been difficult for him to escape completely. If he were captured by the two of them, a humiliating beating would be inevitable. I didn't expect this boy to be so perceptive, seeing through this." She felt a slight sense of goodwill towards him.

Qingyao said, "Nonsense," and walked away quickly. Li Xian said, "So I can call you Sister Qing now?"

Qingyao said helplessly, "You strange person, why do you care about what I call you when we're facing life and death? Call me whatever you want."

The Black Armored Corps exchanged bewildered glances. They had always thought the four beautiful women under the Commandery Princess's command were ruthless and powerful, holding very high positions. It was truly astonishing that they could utter such clever words.

They soon arrived at the long corridor. The bright moon hung high in the sky; it was already late at night. Li Xian asked, "Commandery Princess Highness, it's so late, why haven't you gone to bed yet? Did you come here specifically to see me?"

Qingyao, with her graceful gait and captivating charm, said, "You wish! How could you possibly deserve to be summoned by the Commandery Princess?"

She felt a touch of sympathy, softened her voice, and said, "Before you, all the undercover righteous men were sent away. You are the last one."

Li Xian sensed something was wrong and casually said, "Could it be that the last one received a personal request from the Commandery Princess?"

Qingyao said, "Never mind, you'll find out when you get there." She couldn't say it to his face. Her steps were light, and she quickly arrived at the front of the hall.

In the hall.

Commandery Princess Anyang sat high behind a golden gauze curtain. Her figure was blurred, but her imposing aura was vaguely visible. Her hair was like a long waterfall, and her face was not clear, but the crimson of her lips was eye-catching.

Huang Su, Hong Luo, and Lü Ya stood in front of the curtain. Below them stood a young man, wearing a mask, standing proudly.

Commandery Princess Anyang said, "Chu'er, have you thought this through? Do you really want to infiltrate Jade City for me? With your status and talent, there's no need for you to take such a great risk. If you want to make a name for yourself, I'll take care of it for you."

The young man said, "My mind is made up, Aunt, please rest assured."

Upon hearing this, Li Xian Intestine-Turning Narrow Passage, "So he's Commandery Princess Anyang's nephew." Commandery Princess Anyang laughed and said, "Good! As expected of a man of the Wei family, full of Blood Qi and courage!"

"Chu'er, this cup of wine is for you, Auntie."

She poured herself a glass of fine wine and gently pushed it outwards. The glass floated in the air, flying out of the curtain. Wei Chu raised his palm, took a sip, and drank it down in one gulp, exclaiming with boundless pride, "Aunt, fine wine, fine wine! When I conquer the world in Jade City, I will give the entire Jade City to you as your dowry!"

Commandery Princess Anyang laughed and said, "What ambition! A young man like us should have such lofty aspirations. If you can conquer Jade City, whatever you want, your aunt will grant it to you."

Li Xian, who was listening in, knew that the two had a close relationship, far beyond what he could compare to. He wasn't jealous, but he couldn't help thinking to himself, "This man boasts about conquering Jade City; that's ambition, and we men should be like him. But my saying about being a Silver-Faced Lang is just cowardly survival, all talk and no action."

Wei Chu asked, "Is what Auntie said true?" Commandery Princess Anyang shook her head and smiled, "My good nephew, when has Auntie ever lied to you?"

Wei Chu said, "Then I—" Commandery Princess Anyang said, "Let's talk about this after you've established yourself. Chu'er, do you really not want the Silver-Faced Lang's identity?"

Wei Chu said, "No. I've learned that all those who hold positions of power in the Jade City have gone through perilous journeys, starting from the bottom. While the Silver-Faced Lang's status certainly gives him a high Qidian, without understanding the conditions at the bottom, it's extremely difficult to succeed. I want to start as Mud-Faced Fellow; I believe that with my abilities, I can definitely achieve something."

Commandery Princess Anyang clapped her hands and said, "Good, very good. You've grown up to have this idea. Speaking of which—I had important matters to attend to at your coming-of-age ceremony last time and couldn't participate. It was a real pity. I'm happy that you can do things for me. Chu'er, have another drink!"

He personally poured wine and offered it to Wei Chu. Wei Chu drank it with gusto, his gaze burning as he looked at Commandery Princess Anyang.

Commandery Princess Anyang said, "It's really hard to believe. In the blink of an eye, you've grown up so much. Chu'er, are you married?"

Wei Chu said, "Those who aspire to great things do not concern themselves with such trivial matters." Commandery Princess Anyang replied, "Not so. Those who aspire to great things should marry early to ensure the continuation of their lineage. In recent years, I have rarely returned to my clan, but I have kept track of your deeds. I have heard that you have grown into a rather handsome young man, and some busybodies even say that you are the face of the Wei Family."

"Your aunt knows quite a few candidates. How about we choose one or two for you on a chosen day?"

Wei Chu said, "Aunt, I'm here to take care of something important for you!"

Commandery Princess Anyang laughed and said, "Look at you, you're getting impatient. Alright, since you have this intention, your aunt will do her best to help you. Just go ahead and do it. If you need people or money, just ask."

Wei Chu said happily, "Thank you, Auntie!"

Commandery Princess Anyang covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "Qingyao, I asked you to bring these righteous men here, but where are they?"

Qingyao said, "Your Commandery Princess, you may not know this, but all the righteous warriors have been assigned to other posts, leaving only one person behind, who has now been brought here."

Commandery Princess Anyang said regretfully, "Only one person left? What a pity. I originally thought that since Chu'er had just arrived in Jade City and lacked attendants, I would have asked him to choose a few suitable people to temporarily serve him. Only one person is left—"

Wei Chu said, "Aunt! Please don't worry about me. If I want to follow trusted confidants, I will form my own group."

Why choose from this?

Commandery Princess Anyang said, "My Wei Family's sons are certainly capable of this." Turning to Li Xian, her voice was authoritative yet her tone dismissive, she said, "Who are you, the brat who boasted that you'd be qualified as the Silver-Faced Lang Gentleman in three years? What's your surname again?"

Li Xian knew he was being looked down upon, but he remained neither angry nor provocative, thinking, "If I am strong enough, why would I need the favor of others?" He said calmly and respectfully, "This humble one Qingning Li Xian."

Wei Chu frowned and said, "Three years to become Silver-Faced Lang? Aunt, how could you believe such a boastful person?"

Commandery Princess Anyang said, "Chu'er, you may not know this." She then gestured with her eyes. Huang Su quickly walked over and whispered in Wei Chu's left ear, informing him of the situation.

Wei Chu then said, "I see, Aunt. Xu Cheng's betrayal is truly despicable. Now that I'm here, I'll surely be able to take Xu Cheng's place soon. How about this, Aunt, don't trust this traitor and kill him on the spot. Anyway, I don't like smooth-talking types."

Commandery Princess Anyang doted on this nephew. Her words were indeed well-considered.

Li Xian calmly considered his words, about to formulate his proposal. Qingyao spoke first, "A Commandery Princess's word is priceless. It would be unwise to change one's mind for a clever and eloquent thief."

Commandery Princess Anyang changed the subject, saying, "Qingyao is absolutely right, Chu'er, you're late. If you had come earlier, I would have agreed to your request. Li Xian, right? I remember you have some abilities."

"Before infiltrating Jade City, everyone's appearance should be concealed to prevent undercover agents from misidentifying each other and interfering. But everyone here is my trusted confidant, and there is no one else. So, remove your mask and have Huang Yao draw your face and store it in the archives."
