In a quiet living courtyard in the East Prince Mansion of Shenbing City.

Mu Yan sat there calmly, with a handsome appearance and a elegant temperament. When Shangguan Ling heard her call her "God of the Nine Kings", her eyes did not change at all, and she was still calm and gentle.

Tuoba Yan next to him closed the book in his hand and stood up, walked to Mu Yan, frowned and looked at Shangguan Ling and said, "Uncle, you either have eyes or nose problems, and there is another possibility..."

"What?" Shangguan Ling looked at Tuoba Yan and asked with a playful look.

Tuoba Yan snorted lightly and said, "Uncle, you are jealous of my master as good-looking than you!"

"Boy, is he really your master?" Shangguan Ling not only wasn't angry when he heard Tuoba Yan's words, but instead smiled happily. He spoke up for questioning the relationship between Mu Yan and Tuoba Yan, but he felt in his heart that the relationship between these two must not be that simple.

Tuoba Yan frowned, glanced at Mu Yan, and then said to Shangguan Ling: "To be honest, this is not only my master, but also my father! Please respect your words!"

Shangguan Ling was stunned for a moment, looked at Tuoba Yan's tall height, then looked at Mu Yan again, and then asked Mu Yan inexplicably: "Is this... your son?"

"It's like a fake one." Mu Yan said with a faint expression, "Young Master Shangguan, Ling Yunxuan's fragrance of flowers is too strong, maybe your nose is broken, right?"

"On the contrary, the fragrance of flowers is for me to avoid smelling the disgusting smell of some women. But when I woke up, I didn't smell the fragrance of flowers, but I only smelled the most beautiful woman I felt so far." Shangguan Ling looked at Mu Yan with a deep look, "I just came into this room and sat in front of you, and the fragrance was clearer. Girl, if you don't recognize your daughter again, I must ask my father to come and talk to you about whether you can leave the next day."

Mu Yan suddenly smiled, like the breeze and the moon, and the night cereal bloomed, which made Shangguan Ling's eyes flash. He was very sure that the woman in front of him must be a woman, and her appearance must be fake. Although he did not see any traces of disguise, even the false appearance was extraordinary and elegant. His natural sense of smell sometimes made him very distressed because he felt that most women were disgusting, but the woman in front of him made him feel very comfortable, wanted to get close and explore.

"Young Master Shangguan, I'm just for the convenience of going out and doing things, so why bother to worry? Today I saved the lives of Prince Shangguan and Young Master Shangguan one after another. Young Master Shangguan has not yet repayed his kindness." Mu Yan spoke, admitting that she was a woman, but she still did not use her original voice to talk to Shangguan Ling.

Shangguan Ling looked at Mu Yan and smiled slowly: "Oh? What does Miss Han want? Why not talk about it?"

"Uncle, I like the big stone at the door of Lingyunxuan." Tuoba Yan blinked his big eyes and leaned against Shangguan Ling and Mu Yan, blocking Shangguan Ling's view of looking at Mu Yan, and said to Shangguan Ling, "If the uncle has other treasures to give to us, we will accept it with a smile."

"Boy, go and read books next to you." Shangguan Ling suddenly felt that Tuoba Yan was very annoying.

"But my father said that if there is a man with bad intentions when I go out, I will beat me up when I go back." Tuoba Yan said seriously with a little face.

"Dad? Mom?" Shangguan Ling seemed to hear some joke, "Boy, are you teasing me? You can't be her son!"

"He is my son." Mu Yan reached out and patted Tuoba Yan on the shoulder, signaling him to go beside him. Then she looked at Shangguan Ling and said lightly, "Young Master Shangguan, we mother and son are here to relieve you. Is this your way of hospitality?"

Shangguan Ling frowned: "Impossible, how old are you? I think you are at most 18 years old, so where can you get such a young son!" He didn't hear anything Mu Yan said at all, but just determined that Tuoba Yan could not be Mu Yan's son.

"Young Master Shangguan, I swear that this is my son." Mu Yan looked at Shangguan Ling and said lightly, "If Young Master Shangguan is fine, please come back. Remember to send the stone I want over."

Shangguan Ling looked at Mu Yan and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Miss Han, guess if I told my father about you as a daughter, can you still leave smoothly?"

"You can try." Mu Yan's expression was as calm as before.

"For a long time, people from the Divine Soldier City don't know who the Nine Kings suddenly appeared, and the Nine Kings have never taken action." Shangguan Ling looked at Mu Yan with a deep look, "But if the Nine Kings were the most powerful woman in the South City of the Divine Soldier City, I think the real Nine Kings will sit in front of me now. Miss Han said, am I right?"

Mu Yan nodded: "Yes, that's right, I'm the Nine Kings of Nancheng. What's the point of Young Master Shangguan?"

Mu Yan suddenly admitted, which surprised Shangguan Ling. He looked at Mu Yan and asked, "Is your real name Han Qing?"

"Yes." Mu Yan nodded again.

"You are very brave. You dare to come to the East Prince's Mansion alone." Shangguan Ling looked at Mu Yan and smiled slowly.

"Uncle, do you think I don't exist?" Tuoba Yan said unhappily.

"Boy, if something happens, you are just a burden." Shangguan Ling glanced at Tuoba Yan with a smile.

The next moment, Shangguan Ling's gaze returned to Mu Yan's face again, and Tuoba Yan's expression turned cold, and he suddenly raised his hand. A silver needle as thin as cow's hair flew past Shangguan Ling's side face, leaving a shallow blood mark on his smooth cheek.

Shangguan Ling's aura suddenly became cold, and his eyes looked at Tuoba Yan with a cold look. Tuoba Yan looked directly at Shangguan Ling without any fear, and said coldly with a stern face: "You are the young master of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, and I am the young master of the Ninth Prince's Mansion!"

"Boy, you really don't know how high the world is!" Shangguan Ling said coldly at Tuoba Yan. Obviously, the injury made him angry, although the injury seemed unworthy.

"Young Master Shangguan, the most powerful thing about a child is not martial arts or hidden weapons. He likes to play with poison." Mu Yan spoke, looking at the blood marks on Shangguan Ling's face that had turned from red to black. "Good intention" reminded him, "If you want this face of Young Master Shangguan, you will apologize to my son immediately."

Shangguan Ling reached out and touched his face in disbelief. The blood stained on his fingers was not bright red, but was shining with black. He turned to look at Tuoba Yan, who stood there with his small breasts erect, and looked at him coldly and said, "What I like most is to destroy people's appearance, especially some people who are ugly and unaware of it!"

"Young Master Shangguan, say it again, apologize to my son and leave this room." Mu Yan said with a faint expression, "You can choose to tell Prince Shangguan about my identity, I don't mind."

Shangguan Ling suddenly took the bronze mirror next to him, and looked at half of his face inside the bronze mirror that had turned blue and black, and his expression was extremely difficult to see. He looked at Tuoba Yan and said, "Boy, I'm sorry!"

"Don't be satisfied!" Tuoba Yan snorted coldly.

Shangguan Ling lowered his eyes slightly: "Young Master Han, I'm here to apologize to you. Please give me a thumbs up and let me go."

Tuoba Yan looked at Mu Yan, Mu Yan nodded slightly, Tuoba Yan said expressionlessly: "Young Master Shangguan, don't forget that you were also hit by the puppet Gu before and lay in bed with unconsciousness. It was my mother who woke you up, and your father was hit by Helian Jue's poison. It was my mother who saved him. Of course you can be detrimental to us, because this is your territory, but you'd better think about the consequences. Since we dare to come, we are not afraid of you keeping people, because you can't keep them!"

"Young Master Han is saying." Shangguan Ling nodded slightly. He really didn't take Tuoba Yan seriously before, but now, he suddenly felt that he was wrong. The two people in front of him, including Tuoba Yan, who looks young, were not good at it.

"This is the antidote." Tuoba Yan took out a small medicine bottle from the medicine box next to Mu Yan and handed it to Shangguan Ling. "But there is only half of the antidote in it, which can quickly restore your appearance to normal, but the poison has not been truly eliminated. Three days later, if there is no remaining antidote, your face will completely rot. Therefore, it is best for the uncle to think clearly about what to do and what not to do. If we leave Dongcheng safely, the antidote will naturally be given to you."

"Little brother, must you be so cruel?" Shangguan Ling's anger was gone, and instead he looked miserable. He looked at Tuoba Yan and said pitifully, "I'm just joking with you. You are too poisonous. If this face is ruined, how can my brother live?"

"Mom, he claims to be my brother, so you can call him nephew." Tuoba Yan turned to Mu Yan and said seriously when he heard Shangguan Ling's words.

Mu Yan curled her lips slightly: "Son, my mother, I don't want a nephew who is so ugly and so old."

Shangguan Ling, who had always been very confident in his appearance, listened to the words of the two people in front of him, and his heart was bleeding. He coughed lightly and said, "Young Master Han, give me the antidote first."

Tuoba Yan slammed the medicine bottle on Shangguan Ling's chest. Shangguan Ling caught it and poured out a green pill. He didn't doubt whether it was fake and threw it into his mouth.

Soon, the blue-black color on Shangguan Ling's face faded away, leaving only a light blood mark left on his side.

"Young Master Shangguan please come back if you have nothing to do." Mu Yan said with a faint expression.

Shangguan Ling glanced at Mu Yan with a deep look, then turned around and floated away.

Seeing the door closed from outside, Tuoba Yan sat opposite Mu Yan, holding his little face, and asked Mu Yan with some distress: "It's so annoying!"

Mu Yan smiled: "What's wrong? Are you still angry?"

"At first glance, he was planning toward his mother!" Tuoba Yan said angrily, "This is my father's absence, otherwise he would have been chopped off!"

"Shouldn't Xiao Yan be worried about our current situation?" Mu Yan asked with a smile.

"With my mother here, what are you afraid of?" Tuoba Yan said for granted.

"Son, you are almost out of the army. Is it the poison your father gave you?" Mu Yan glanced at Tuoba Yan's ring and asked. The ring was given to Tuoba Yan by Mu Yan, but the silver needle inside was not poisonous.

Tuoba Yan smiled and said, "Yes! My father said I was too weak. If I went out with my mother, I would drag my mother's back. So the hidden weapons on my body were poisoned by my father, and many of them had never been used! But I just gave Shangguan Ling the real antidote, and I was just lying to him."

"Okay, I hope you have a chance to have fun next." Mu Yan nodded slightly.

"But will that Shangguan Ling tell you that Mom is the Nine Kings?" Tuoba Yan asked Mu Yan with a serious expression.

Mu Yan shook her head: "He won't say it."

"Mom is so sure?" Tuoba Yan expressed doubts because he felt that it was possible for anyone as annoying as Shangguan Ling could do anything.

"Although Shangguan Ling is Shangguan Min's only son, he is not in the Divine Weapon City most of the time, and he has never cared about anything about the Eastern Prince's Mansion. He is very smart. Of course, he also cares about the situation of Shangguan Min and the Eastern Prince's Mansion. But because of this, when Shangguan Min and Helianjue have broken up, he will not want us to become enemies of the Eastern Prince's Mansion." Mu Yan said with a faint expression. She did not expect to be able to see through the identity, but it was no big deal. She would help Shangguan Ling to remove the poison this time, and she also planned to use the Eastern Prince's Mansion to get rid of Helianjue first. Before Xiao Yuesheng and Xiao Xinghan woke up, Mu Yan would not act rashly. She didn't think she could destroy the Eastern Prince's Mansion with Tuoba Yan.

But Shangguan Ling, who returned to Ling Yunxuan, looked at the flowers and plants in Ling Yunxuan, smelled the rich fragrance, reached out and stroked the wound on his side, and his face was slightly dark: "Come here!"

"What are the instructions of the young master?" Someone soon appeared in front of Shangguan Ling.

"Except all these flowers and plants!" Shangguan Ling said coldly.

"Yes." The servants felt a little strange. Shangguan Ling had to ask them to find flowers and plants that were still blooming this season and planted them in Lingyunxuan. It took a lot of effort, but now they all have to be removed.

Soon, the flowers and plants in Lingyunxuan were all separated, and only a faint fragrance of flowers was left in the air, drifting with the wind.

Shangguan Ling sat quietly in Lingyunxuan, putting a pot of wine in front of him, drinking alone, thinking about something.

"What's wrong with Ling'er?" Shangguan Min strode in, "Don't you like those flowers and plants?"

Shangguan Ling shook his head: "Suddenly I don't like it."

Shangguan Min sat down and saw the bloody marks on Shangguan Ling's face, and his expression changed slightly: "Who hurts you?"

Shangguan Ling shook his head indifferently: "If my father comes later, it will heal itself. I accidentally knocked it. In this Dongwang Mansion, who else dares to hurt me?"

"I heard from Shen Qing that you took the initiative to entertain Mr. Han. Is it because you have an unhappy relationship with him?" Shangguan Min obviously didn't believe Shangguan Ling said that he was the one who kowtowed him.

"How could it be?" Shangguan Ling smiled happily, "Mr. Han and I hit it off at first sight, and we had a great conversation."

"What kind of person does Ling'er think that Mr. Han are? If you have a good relationship, is it possible to ask him to stay in the Eastern Prince's Mansion?" Shangguan Min looked at Shangguan Ling and asked.

"Dad, if you really keep Mr. Han, the Nine Kings are afraid that they will come to the door." Shangguan Ling said with a smile, "Everyone wants such a talent."

"But if he is asked to leave, after he gets rid of Helianjue, the Nine Princes Mansion will be our strong enemy, and it will be difficult to deal with at that time!" Shangguan Min said.

"Dad, this is not like what the world's number one master said." Shangguan Ling said with a smile.

"Oh!" Shangguan Min sighed deeply, "I feel very unhappy when I mention this matter. I was manipulated by Helian Jue before, because you were attacked by Helian Jue and attacked him as a father, which caused him to have to nullify some of his skills to protect himself. This time, I was infected with Helian Jue's poison. The poison was relieved and some of his skills were damaged."

"Dad, don't worry. Even if you lose some, no one can defeat you." Shangguan Ling said to Shangguan Min, "My idea is to cooperate with the Nine Kings first, get rid of Helianjue, and then make plans for what happened next."

"Do you think the Nine Kings are trustworthy?" Shangguan Min asked Shangguan Ling.

A face with a calm and gentle breeze appeared in Shangguan Ling's mind, and then shook his head slightly and said, "Father, everyone is for their own interests, don't care whether it is credible. Eliminating Helianjue is what we want, and what the Nine Kings want. This is the premise of cooperation."

"Ling'er's words are reasonable." Shangguan Min nodded, "But your uncle doesn't know where he went. He got the snake pill. If he could be refined smoothly, his skills would definitely surpass his father. If he comes back, our chances of winning will be greater."

Shangguan Ling frowned: "Dad, uncle has always been at will and cannot be trusted."

Shangguan Min shook her head and laughed: "Don't talk about your uncle, aren't you? She has been willful since she was a child. She doesn't like to stay in Shenbing City, and doesn't care about being alone here for her father. She only knows how to go around and play, and sometimes she doesn't come back once a year or two."

"Dad, everyone has their own ambitions. I am young. You asked me to guard this small town on this broken island and try my best to figure out the island. What's the point?" Shangguan Ling said with a faint expression, "But I respect my father's choice, so since I am back, I will help my father."

"Okay!" Shangguan Min nodded with relief.

At night, Shangguan Ling came to the living yard where Mu Yan lived again. When he looked up, he saw Mu Yan and Tuoba Yan lying on the roof, looking at the stars leisurely.

Shangguan Ling raised his head. Dongshan was very high. The stars were hanging low at winter nights. He really felt like he could pick the stars with his hands, but this was the first time he saw the stars on the top of Dongshan.
