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

Before he could open his mouth, Caiyun had pulled him up from the chair and half-dragged and half-pulled him out of the study.

Lu Jingyuan and Hua Duoer followed closely behind. Caiyun suddenly stopped, turned around and cast a disapproving glance at them, and said coldly: "The princess wants to see Lord Duan, why are you two following her?"

After saying this, without waiting for the two to respond, Duan Tianyang turned around and waved his hand to Lu Jingyuan and Hua Duoer, saying, "No need to follow me. I'll be back soon."

After hearing this, Lu Jingyuan and Hua Duoer had no choice but to give up.

Duan Tianyang followed Caiyun into Yi Shuirou's room. When he entered the door, he was stunned.

The round table in the room was covered with steaming delicacies, obviously freshly cooked, and there were two sets of bowls and chopsticks beside the table.

After Caiyun led Duan Tianyang into the room, she quietly left and carefully closed the door.

Duan Tianyang looked at Caiyun's back with a confused look on his face.

At this time, Yi Shuirou walked out of the inner room, sat down gracefully at the table, waved to Duan Tianyang and said with a smile: "Master Duan, what are you still standing there for? Please take a seat!"

Duan Tianyang walked to the table and asked suspiciously, "Princess...what are you doing?"

"What? Can't I treat Lord Duan to a meal?" Yi Shuirou asked back with a hint of playfulness in her tone.

"No, it's not." Duan Tianyang quickly waved his hand to explain, "It's just that didn't we agree to have dinner together?"

"No need to bother." Yi Shuirou smiled, "The banquet in the mansion is noisy and crowded, and I always prefer quietness."

She looked directly at Duan Tianyang with a smile: "I ordered people to prepare these dishes carefully. Why don't you sit down and taste them, Lord Duan?"

Looking at the candlelight dinner on the table, Duan Tianyang looked helpless, but did not refuse and sat down next to Yi Shuirou.

"Master Duan, please try these dishes and see how they taste." Yi Shuirou waved her hand.

Duan Tianyang picked up his chopsticks, took a sip, nodded and smiled, "Not bad."

Since crossing over to the realm of the gods, he has rarely tasted dishes that satisfy him.

Due to the scarcity of seasonings, even modern fast food tastes much better than the food here...

If I have to point out one advantage, it is that the ingredients are natural and pure, without any additives, and are extremely healthy.

As for the taste, I can only say that they perfectly preserve the flavor of the ingredients themselves...

Yi Shuirou smiled and asked softly, "Didn't Lord Duan say that an old friend from Xuanhuang City came to visit?"

Duan Tianyang replied: "Yes, the banquet is held in the mansion tonight to entertain the princess and my friend."

"Did Lord Duan remember it wrongly? As far as I know, your old friend is not from Xuanhuang City, but Xinyang City, right?" There was a hint of subtlety in Yi Shuirou's words.

Duan Tianyang's heart moved slightly, and he asked in confusion: "What does the princess mean by this?"

"Lord Duan doesn't seem to have many friends in Xuanhuang City." After saying that, Yi Shuirou raised her glass and her tone became more relaxed: "Come on, Lord Duan, let's have a drink."

Duan Tianyang picked up the wine glass, clinked it lightly with Yi Shuirou, then raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.

Watching him drinking, Yi Shuirou smiled, gently put the wine glass back on the table, and said teasingly, "Master Duan, aren't you afraid that I will tamper with the wine?"

Duan Tianyang was slightly stunned, then shook his head and smiled: "You won't."

"Oh? Why do you think so?" Yi Shuirou asked curiously.

"The princess is of noble status, and I'm just a little Karami. How could you condescend to kill me? Besides, if the princess really wanted to kill me, she wouldn't use such despicable means." Duan Tianyang replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Yi Shuirou's eyes became deep, and she slowly said, "Although I don't like killing, if someone wants to harm me, I will definitely fight back."

"What? Someone actually wants to harm the princess?" Duan Tianyang pretended to be surprised.

"Lord Duan doesn't know about this?" Yi Shuirou asked back, with a scrutinizing look in her eyes.

"How should I know?" Duan Tianyang pretended to be innocent.

Yi Shuirou did not continue to ask, but changed the subject and said, "Lord Duan's close friends in Xuanhuang City all followed you to Xiguan, so who is this old friend who is visiting this time?"

There is an elusive sense of leaps and bounds in her words. She always suddenly cuts back to the topic when the other party is off guard, making it hard to guard against.

Duan Tianyang blinked and smiled faintly: "Just an ordinary friend."

"Is his name Wang Xin?" Yi Shuirou spoke sharply and directly exposed his lie.

Duan Tianyang was shocked, but he remained calm on the surface: "Yes."

Yi Shuirou chuckled and continued, "As far as I know, my cousin Yi Fan also has a confidant named Wang Xin. And Yi Fan is currently in Xinyang City." Her tone was calm, but revealed a majesty that could not be ignored.

Duan Tianyang took a deep breath secretly. It seemed that Yi Shuirou had seen through everything.

He slowly picked up the wine jug and filled himself another glass of wine to hide his inner turmoil.

Yi Shuirou knew nothing about the entanglement between Duan Tianyang, the Ling family and Ling Ziyan. Similarly, Duan Tianyang could not figure out Yi Shuirou's thoughts.

But judging from her behavior and the fact that Wang Xin wanted to harm her, the relationship between her and Yi Fan must be very bad.

It was based on this factor that Wang Xin concluded that Yi Shuirou would stand on Ling Ziyan's side and would even resort to extreme measures.

After clarifying Yi Shuirou's position, Duan Tianyang put down his wine glass and asked in a relaxed tone: "Princess, what do you want to say?"

Yi Shuirou immediately filled his glass with wine and said bluntly, "I learned that my cousin Yi Fan has left Xuanhuang City and headed for Xinyang City, and has teamed up with the Lord of Xinyang City to plot a rebellion."

Duan Tianyang was shocked when he heard this, and thought to himself that if he were replaced by Yi Fan, he might make the same choice.

He smiled bitterly and shook his head, responding: "It seems that the princess knows everything..."

"It has been decided that the princess will become the master of the divine realm. Even though the Ling family currently controls the court, they should unite to face the outside world rather than engage in internal strife. Lord Duan, am I right?" Yi Shuirou put forward her opinion.

That’s not quite right. If we want to resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the internal situation. If we haven’t solved the internal problems, how can we resist foreign enemies?

But Duan Tianyang just smiled and said nothing.

Seeing this, Yi Shuirou laughed out loud and reminded him, "I was so busy talking that I forgot to drink. Sir Duan, how about we have another drink?"

"Princess, please!" The two men clinked their glasses and drank them all in one gulp.

After three rounds of drinking, Yi Shuirou leaned closer to Duan Tianyang and asked in a low voice: "Master Duan, if Yi Fan really intends to rebel, will you lend him a helping hand?"

They were originally sitting close to each other, and as Yi Shuirou approached, the distance between them suddenly decreased, almost to the point where their noses were touching.

Duan Tianyang sat stiffly in the chair, looking slightly embarrassed, and answered hesitantly: "Of course... not."
