Volume 3, Chapter 14 – Though I Got Beaten Up, It Was Worth It

“Worry about Lord Xi Xuan? Why would I worry about him?”

If possible, I’d like to punch him myself!

Naro grumbled inwardly in confusion, even though such a thought was somewhat disrespectful.

To this, Niyi said nothing, only silently making way for the passage into the training ground.

“Hmm?”

Naro felt increasingly puzzled but still walked in quickly.

Before long, Naro returned to the training ground together with Niyi. Since feeling that a First Celestial Augur Knight ‘bullying’ a weak daughter-in-law was too embarrassing, when Xi Xuan and Bai Lian began sparring, Niyi had proactively sent away most of the guards.

Thus, the training ground now no longer had that packed feeling from earlier; only several high-ranking members of the guard team remained.

Special melons could only be eaten by special people.

And these individuals, almost all like Niyi just moments ago, had a dumbfounded, bewildered appearance, continuing to stare at the situation inside the training ground like wooden chickens.

??

Hmm?

Faced with this scene, Naro frowned deeply. A strange premonition quietly germinated and spread in his heart.

“This reaction… it couldn’t be…”

Guided by this strange premonition, Naro quickly approached the railing and cast his gaze into the training ground. Then, the Lingyuan family butler’s eyes suddenly contracted, and like Niyi and the others before him, Naro instantly turned into a robot with a crashed central system, standing dumbfounded on the spot.

His facial muscles twitched continuously,

“Is this, real?? Is, is, is this, is this a mistake?”

At this moment, In Naro’s surprised eyes, the pillar of the Lingyuan family, the legendary Second Celestial Augur Knight of the First Generation, was lying in a rather abstract posture on the crater-filled training ground, lying in a pool of blood.

Xi Xuan now had none of his once imposing demeanor. His entire body was clothed in tatters, with blood continuously seeping from his cut wounds, turning Xi Xuan into a bloody mess.

Furthermore, Xi Xuan’s posture was ridiculously amusing—not simply lying in a pool of blood, but with his buttocks raised high, lying in a pool of blood in an extremely comical way. Well, having his butt sticking up was one thing, but more crucially…

There was actually a sword stuck in Xi Xuan’s upright buttocks?

And beside Xi Xuan was a beautiful young girl with a smug smile, dressed in a blue and white gown.

The young girl stood with her hands on her hips, continuously kicking Xi Xuan’s face, seemingly saying…

—”Come on, how are you done already? I’m not satisfied yet~”—

“0-0”

After blinking in confusion, Naro, without another word, raised his hand and gave himself a hard slap.

Am, I not dreaming? Lord Xi Xuan actually couldn’t even beat Madam?

Madam was never good at martial arts in the first place, and her strength was only at the second tier. How on earth did she beat Lord Xi Xuan into such a state?

This doesn’t make sense!

“No, this is impossible, I must be dreaming.”

Naro shook his head, muttering to himself.

“Lord Naro, believe me, you’re not dreaming.”

Niyi, who had been silently following behind Naro for a long time, approached with complex emotions.

“Madam indeed defeated Lord Xi Xuan in the sword sparring. And… how should I put it? It was a kind of, a kind of, enmm, complete domination.”

Niyi struggled to say the last word.

“Domination?”

“Yes, Lord Xi Xuan had almost no ability to defend himself. He was constantly being pinned to the ground and slashed by Madam. The few counterattacks he attempted were easily neutralized by Madam… and then Lord Xi Xuan continued to be pinned to the ground and slashed. And then, he was slashed into this state.”

“This, it makes no sense.”

Rubbing his temples, Naro was still quite incredulous, muttering.

But soon, Naro had no time to ponder this issue.

…….

After cutting down Xi Xuan, a certain blue-haired young girl had already eagerly trotted to Xi Xuan’s side and, without any restraint, reached into the pocket of Xi Xuan’s upper garment and pulled out the key he had previously shown her.

Looking at the ‘trophy’ in her hand, Bai Lian’s slightly blood-stained face, which appeared somewhat bewitching, quietly overflowed with a trace of joyful smile.

“Hehe, so according to our agreement, the key is mine now~”

With that said, The little Malevolence took the key, skipped along cheerfully, deactivated the barrier, and ran toward the outside of the training ground.

Of course, Bai Lianyue was very polite; when passing by Naro and Niyi, she even thoughtfully waved at them.

“Good afternoon~”

After greeting them, Bai Lianyue ran toward the training ground gate without looking back.

“Hehehe, Qingling Wine, here I come~”

Recalling the rich aroma of Qingling Wine that had burst in her mouth that day, the little Malevolence licked her lips with full anticipation.

Hearing this, Naro’s face instantly showed uneasiness, and he hurriedly tried to catch up to stop Bai Lianyue.

After all, At the mention of alcohol, Naro involuntarily recalled the awkward state of Madam after she got drunk that day, and the words the young miss had entrusted to him previously.

“Wait! Madam, you can’t mess around…”

The old butler exclaimed anxiously.

However, even if Naro wanted to stop her, it was too late.

Because the eager little Malevolence had already disappeared from Naro’s sight in a flash.

Feeling anxious in his heart, Naro hurriedly took out a communication device, wanting to notify the people in the main residence to guard the wine cellar and absolutely prevent Madam from entering it!

However, before the old butler could take out the device, another frenzied laugh entered Naro’s ears, causing the old butler to frown slightly and turn his head bewilderedly to look behind him at the man who was lying on the ground, continuously laughing wildly.

“Haha, hahaha, hahahahaha!!”

Without time to attend to Madam’s situation, Naro hurriedly stepped to Xi Xuan’s side and asked with a concerned and anxious expression,

“Lord Xi Xuan, are, are you alright?”

Your mind? Is there a problem? Did you get beaten silly?

Being beaten into such a miserable state by a daughter-in-law who had received no training would logically be an extremely embarrassing affair.

Although Lord Xi Xuan’s behavior was often somewhat abstract, he was, after all, the renowned First Celestial Augur Knight, undoubtedly possessing some dignity as a powerful figure.

Being beaten into such a state in front of so many subordinates… Lord Xi Xuan’s expression not only lacked anger and regret but was instead filled with excitement and pleasure.

Moreover, this laughter even contained a sense of unprecedented relaxation.

Faced with Naro’s anxious inquiry, Xi Xuan, lying on the ground, merely chuckled and waved his hand.

“It’s fine.”

Saying this, Xi Xuan climbed up from the pool of blood. With the renewed flow of spiritual power, the wounds on Xi Xuan’s body healed at a visible speed.

Pulling out the sword from his buttocks, Xi Xuan, as if nothing had happened, patted his chest.

“What are you worrying about, Naro? I’m perfectly fine.”

Seeing this, Naro blinked in confusion and then asked tentatively,

“Lord Xi Xuan, you, you were definitely holding back a lot just now, right?”

“Holding back?”

“Yes. Otherwise, how could you possibly be beaten into such a state by Madam?”

“Hahahahaha~”

After laughing magnificently and heartily for a few moments, Xi Xuan bent down to Naro’s ear and said softly in a meaningful tone:

“I did indeed suppress my spiritual strength, down to the second tier. But in terms of swordsmanship, I did not hold back at all.”

“Wh-what?”

The old butler looked at the man before him incredulously.

“You’re saying that Madam completely overwhelmed you in sword skills? This, this is impossible?!”

“Heh, hehe~”

Xi Xuan didn’t respond but just laughed meaningfully.

Then, This First Celestial Augur Knight turned his gaze toward the distance, toward the direction where the blue-haired young girl had hurriedly departed.

All at once, On Xi Xuan’s excited face, an involuntary trace of a playful smile spilled out.

Heh, Hehe, No wonder, this explains everything.

I didn’t expect we would meet again in this form, Brother Ming…

Enmm, No, that’s not right. —”Perhaps? Should I call you Sister Yue instead?
