The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

Ling Ziyan's attitude made a 180-degree turn, from her previous indifference to being as gentle as a little woman, which surprised Duan Tianyang.

He remembered how a few months ago, Ling Ziyan had mercilessly exiled him to Xiguan, and how resolute her attitude was at that time.

However, she asked Yi Yunxi to protect her behind her back, and acted like a real princess in front of Yi Yunxi.

When Yi Yunxi left, she turned back into a little woman again.

Duan Tianyang was confused by her erratic attitude and had no idea what she was thinking.

When he was in Xiguan, he had imagined several times the scene of him and Ling Ziyan meeting again...

He blamed himself, hated himself, and was sad...

But when he saw Ling Ziyan again, all he had left was fear, love, and thought...

He hated himself for being so useless. He had originally decided not to be a bootlicker like the original owner, but when Ling Ziyan's face came into view, all his determination disappeared in an instant, leaving only the fiercely beating heart...

He hates it!

This damn face control!

No matter what, I am one in ten thousand, no, one in a hundred thousand, a handsome bastard, and it should be Ling Ziyan who licks me...

Thinking of this, he pretended to be aloof and asked, "Princess, why did you summon me?"

When Ling Ziyan heard this, she frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Are you still angry because I transferred you to Xiguan?"

Duan Tianyang's tone remained calm: "Princess, you worry too much. I dare not complain about your decision. The princess is second only to one person and above ten thousand people. Naturally, she makes decisions for the overall situation."

Seeing Duan Tianyang's attitude of keeping people at a distance, Ling Ziyan could no longer remain calm. She raised her voice and shouted, "Duan Tianyang!"

Duan Tianyang was unmoved. He responded calmly: "I am here, may I ask what instructions the princess has?"

Ling Ziyan's face became more and more ruddy. When she was furious, Yi Yunxi suddenly walked into the hall, bowed to Ling Ziyan and said, "Princess, the banquet has been arranged."

Ling Ziyan bit her lower lip tightly, trying her best to suppress the anger in her heart. She said in a gentle tone: "City Lord Duan, how about you have a few drinks with me?"

Duan Tianyang still maintained his calm demeanor, and he spoke slowly and calmly: "Princess, how dare I disobey you if you have such a refined taste?"

Ling Ziyan's anger surged like a tide. She squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: "Okay, order someone to serve the food!"

The two walked into the banquet hall in the main hall. Delicious dishes were served one after another, and soon the entire table was filled.

Two maids carefully filled the wine glasses for Duan Tianyang and Ling Ziyan, while Yi Yunxi waited quietly at the door of the banquet hall.

Ling Ziyan opened her red lips slightly and raised the wine cup in her hand. Her eyes fell on Duan Tianyang and her voice was as soft as silk: "City Lord Duan, I heard that you were extremely brave in Xiguan and led the soldiers to repel the siege of the foreign soldiers and established great military exploits. Now you have been promoted to the Lord of Yunzhong City. It can be said that everything has gone smoothly. My expectations of you have really lived up to expectations. This cup is my congratulations to you."

Duan Tianyang smiled slightly and raised his glass as well, with a sly look in his eyes: "Princess, you are too kind. However, if only the two of us drink this wine, it will inevitably seem a bit monotonous. How about inviting Brother Yi to take a seat and drink with the princess?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his gaze turned to the figure standing at the entrance of the banquet hall—Yi Yunxi.

"Brother Yi?" Ling Ziyan raised her eyebrows slightly and followed Duan Tianyang's gaze. Her eyes stayed on Yi Yunxi for a moment.

She put down the wine cup in her hand, turned her eyes to Duan Tianyang, and said with a hint of amusement, "City Lord Duan, it seems that you have a close relationship with this little servant of mine."

Duan Tianyang smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't thanked the princess for saving my life yet. If the princess hadn't sent Brother Yi to protect me secretly, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see the princess today!"

When Ling Ziyan heard this, a trace of imperceptible worry flashed in her eyes. She quickly glanced at Duan Tianyang's body, and only after confirming that he was not injured did she secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

She asked softly, "City Lord Duan, can you tell me the details of what happened?"

Duan Tianyang did not tell Ling Ziyan that the Jin people planned to station troops in Xifan.

He simply said that he and a subordinate went to the Xifan territory and successfully assassinated the leader of the bandits who came to besiege Xiguan City.

However, they were besieged by a group of unidentified people. Fortunately, Yi Yunxi rescued them and they were able to escape.

Ling Ziyan was horrified when she heard this, but her eyes quietly turned to Yi Yunxi who was standing at the door.

In her words, she seemed to reveal a hint of jealousy: "Oh? So City Lord Duan treats a servant like me so courteously because she once saved your life."

After saying that, she waved to Yi Yunxi and invited her, "Yunxi, come and have a few drinks with me and City Lord Duan."

"Yes, princess!"

Yi Yunxi walked slowly to the table and sat down carefully.

Ling Ziyan smiled slightly and signaled the maid beside her to fill Yi Yunxi's glass with wine. Then, she raised the wine glass in her hand and said with a smile: "This wine is to celebrate Lord Duan's escape from danger and to celebrate Lord Duan's promotion to the position of Lord of Yunzhong City."

After saying this, the three of them drank the wine in their glasses together.

Yi Yunxi had never tasted wine and always thought it was just like ordinary water.

However, after he drank it in one gulp, he choked and started coughing.

Upon seeing this, Duan Tianyang immediately patted his back, trying to relieve his discomfort and showing great concern.

Ling Ziyan saw all of this. She clenched her hands tightly and couldn't help asking Duan Tianyang, "Master Duan, what did you mean by calling Yun Xi Brother Yi just now?"

Duan Tianyang replied without even looking up: "Brother Yi is older than me and he once saved my life. We are both men, so what's the problem with me calling him Brother Yi?"

After hearing this, Ling Ziyan felt a little relieved, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She looked at Duan Tianyang and asked with a smile: "Duan Tianyang, are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?"

Duan Tianyang was confused. He looked at Ling Ziyan and asked in confusion, "What do you mean by real stupidity or fake stupidity?"

Ling Ziyan raised the corner of her mouth slightly and asked, "Who told you that she is a man?"

After hearing this, Duan Tianyang and Yi Yunxi looked at Ling Ziyan in surprise.

Ling Ziyan went on to explain, "This servant of mine has been living alone wearing a mask since she was a child because she is ugly. She knows nothing except martial arts training. Not to mention you, even she may have mistakenly thought she was a man. If my godfather hadn't told me her true gender a few days ago, I would have also mistaken her for a man."
