Chapter 152: Chapter 37: Madam’s Doubts, The Dragon and Tiger Monks, Heaven’s Decreed Phoenix (Additional Update)_2
It was unmistakably Pei Xiangyun’s voice.
“Damn.”
Zhao Huai suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to tell Pei Xiangyun about Yin Nanyu and hurriedly walked up to her.
In the courtyard.
Yin Nanyu’s silver hair was wet and draped over her smooth shoulders, steam rising from her body. This appearance was due to her using True Vigor to evaporate the water.

She stared coldly at the woman standing before her in a dress, her expression unmoved.
“Who are you, and what are you doing in my house?”
Pei Xiangyun pointed at Yin Nanyu, angrily.
This woman of unknown origin and flirtatious appearance was undoubtedly a bad person.
“So you’re Young Master Zhao’s beloved wife?”
Facing the questioning, Yin Nanyu’s eyes remained calm and untroubled.
If Pei Xiangyun really were Zhao Huai’s sweetheart, then the position of the Crown Prince’s Wife would be secured.
This woman didn’t seem very bright.
Easier to deal with than Exquisite Fairy Qiu Yueqing.
Hearing the silver-haired woman’s words, Pei Xiangyun gritted her teeth and said, “Just because of that bastard, how could I like him? I’m his younger sister-in-law!”
“It’s all about the same.”
“What do you mean!”
Just as the two were about to argue, Zhao Huai stepped in.
“Enough, enough. We’re all on the same side. Stop arguing.”
He stood between the two, speaking seriously.
However, Pei Xiangyun didn’t appreciate it, pouting and angrily saying,
“I can’t believe I called you brother-in-law! You actually went out and found a woman, a mistress!”
“Are you worthy of my sister?!”
Facing the continuous accusations, Zhao Huai couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
“Don’t you think you’re reading too much into it? She just happens to be a friend I saved when passing by. What mistress? Nonsense.”
“I don’t believe it.”
Pei Xiangyun crossed her arms, shaking her head:
“How could you just happen to save such a beautiful woman? And she’s taking a bath in our courtyard? Who are you trying to fool!”
“She’s your mistress!”
She was utterly convinced.
Hearing this explanation, Yin Nanyu faintly smiled and showed no intention of clarifying.
Because she wanted to see the relationship between Pei Xiangyun and Zhao
Huai shatter.
Otherwise, how could she win Zhao Huai over?
“Alright, stop making a fuss.”
Zhao Huai placed his hand on Pei Xiangyun’s head and rubbed it.
It looked like he was comforting a child.
He asked Yin Nanyu,
“Are you feeling better now?” “Thanks to Young Master, I feel much better.”
Yin Nanyu nodded earnestly.
This spiritual spring was indeed extraordinary, helping her injuries recover quickly. She wondered what special substance it contained.
However, in Pei Xiangyun’s ears, this conversation had a completely different meaning. “Well, I’ll give it to you!”
“Just you wait!”
Pei Xiangyun’s face was flushed with anger, and she stormed out of the room.
Seeing her like this, Zhao Huai rubbed his forehead in frustration and turned to say,
“You can stay in the inn now. Just mention my name, and they’ll let you in. I’ll leave the contact information to you.” “Don’t worry, Your Highness. I’ll handle everything.”
Yin Nanyu promised expressionlessly.
After giving instructions, Zhao Huai ran out to chase after Pei Xiangyun.
Yin Nanyu walked out of the backyard, examining the items around her.
A tank of goldfish on the cabinet, a “peace and prosperity” calligraphy scroll in the corner.
“Husband, why aren’t you back yet?”
A white-haired myna bird on a beam above her head spoke human words.
“How envious.”
Yin Nanyu’s lips curved slightly, a smile appearing on her face.
She stepped out of the pawnshop’s gate, glanced at Zhao Huai’s retreating figure, and a trace of tenderness appeared in her eyes.
She then slowly walked towards the courtyard of the Raven Sect.
In Jinzhou, on a vast military training ground.
Yu Qinghan stood on a high platform, her eyes sweeping over her elite army. They were dressed in silver armor, holding menacing spears and bows.
Their warhorses breathed heavily.
The soldiers were all tall and muscular, full of vigor and determination, giving off an oppressive aura.
“The soldiers under my command have been trained on spiritual rice and beast meat. They’re not only capable of resisting cultivators in the Initiation Stage but also have the power to fight the numerous qi-refining cultivators. Besides, there aren’t as many cultivators in the human world as we imagine.” Changning King Pei Ming said with pride.
He had invested a lot in this army, with careful selections made for each individual based on their background, parental occupation, and origins. Strict military discipline and generous rewards ensured that everyone was loyal to an extraordinary level.
“What’s the name of this army?”
Yu Qinghan fell silent for a moment before slowly asking.
Even she had to admit that these soldiers, individually, were quite strong.
On par with the Five Armies of Senior General.
“Changning-Imperial-Army.”
The Changning King Pei Ming spoke, one word at a time. “How does it compare to the Five Armies of the Senior General?”
pel Ming asked vvltn a smile.
“You cannot compare them in such a way.”
Yu Qinghan shook her head.
The Five Armies of Senior General were the elite forces she had built since becoming independent. They had fought countless battles under her command, achieving countless victories, conquering the land and advancing relentlessly. They were unrivaled in their combat experience and efficiency in carrying out her orders.
The Five Armies consisted of halberdiers, archers, heavily-armored soldiers, lancer cavalry, and iron cavalry.
But now, those who were scattered were gone, those who had retired had left, and the ones remaining were few.
In comparison, the current Changning Imperial Army displayed even higher quality than the Five Armies of her time.
The ultimate reason was that the Xia Country was now more prosperous, with better resources and conditions for training stronger soldiers, which was quite normal.
Back in her time, they had recruited ordinary young men, and even prisoners of war, who were naturally no match for the soldiers of today.
That’s why the two armies couldn’t be compared directly.
At this moment, two streaks of light flashed across the sky above them..
