Chapter 23: The Unspeakable Relationship Between the Martial God and Zhao Wu…
Flying Immortal Pavilion.
Top Floor Fragrant Chamber.
Sword Saint Gai Nie and Shadow Guard Zhang Han burst into the room, what greeted their eyes was a “shocking” scene they had never imagined.
On the soft couch in the boudoir, a stunningly handsome man reclined, dressed in gorgeous feathered robes, his hair bound by a golden crown, his face like polished jade, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, his aura otherworldly.
His eyes were filled with warmth and power, his brow carrying a hint of laziness, a hint of ease, and a hint of elegance, perfect as a god descending to the mortal realm.
“Like jade among men, a peerless young master!”
Zhang Han was stunned, utterly shocked.
“What a peerless beauty!”
Gai Nie was amazed in his heart, the outside world was in chaos, yet Zhao Wu remained calm and composed, relaxed and unrestrained.
Such a temperament was truly extraordinary. He was not an ordinary person.
Then he looked at the beauties in his arms.
One had a face of absolute beauty, flawless and pure, three thousand strands of black hair flowing gently, falling like a waterfall, her sea-blue dress outlining her slender waist, making her look incredibly graceful and alluring.
She was as gentle as water, as passionate as fire.
The ultimate beauty of a southern woman was fully displayed on her.
Even figures like Gai Nie and Zhang Han couldn’t help but be stunned, their hearts filled with amazement.
How could there be such an alluring beauty in the world.
And what surprised them even more was that the beauty beside her was not inferior in the slightest.
If the former had taken tenderness and charm to the extreme.
Then this woman had taken enchanting allure to its pinnacle.
This was a woman who exuded enchantment from the depths of her being.
It seemed that she was constantly emitting charm, tempting men, and teasing their senses.
Her aura was noble and elegant, yet she carried a bewitching charm like a fairy, like a blue rose, alluring yet dangerous.
“Young Master Wu is truly blessed with good fortune.”
Zhang Han dared not look too much, marveling in his heart:
“To possess one such peerless beauty is already a stroke of luck, yet Young Master Wu possesses two, no wonder he is so immersed in them, unable to extricate himself.”
Gai Nie beside him also couldn’t help but take a deep look at Yan Lingji and Mingzhu.
Don’t misunderstand.
He was not coveting their beauty.
In Gai Nie’s heart, women would only affect the speed of his sword.
As a top swordsman.
He vaguely felt that these two stunningly beautiful women were not simple.
And both Mingzhu and Yan Lingji had concealed their auras, and they did not harbor any hostility towards Gai Nie.
Therefore.
Gai Nie did not sense a dangerous aura from them, like he had vaguely felt from Yan Ri.
“Who are you two? Is it not too rude to barge in so rashly?”
Zhao Wu’s star-like eyes scanned Gai Nie and Zhang Han.
Although he had already recognized the two, he still pretended not to know them and questioned them.
The acting had to be complete.
“Please forgive me, sir, I am Zhang Han. While pursuing an assassin, I discovered that the assassin had come here. Fearing that he might harm you, sir, I rushed in, please forgive me.”
Zhang Han pointed to Yan Ri’s corpse on the ground and bowed with cupped hands.
“Apologies!”
Gai Nie also cupped his hands and said lightly.
“So that’s how it is!”
Zhao Wu looked ‘enlightened’, waved his hand, “You two have a good heart, please sit!”
“Thank you, sir.”
Zhang Han bowed with cupped hands and said, “May I ask, sir, this assassin’s martial arts were very high, I wonder which expert killed him? I need to report back.”
As for Yan Ri dying here.
Neither he nor Gai Nie were surprised.
Clearly.
They both assumed that Yan Ri was killed by the immortal swordsman who had frozen Shu He with a single sword.
Zhao Wu raised his head, looked out of the window, and pointed to the dazzling Great Dao Golden List in the sky.
Zhang Han and Gai Nie’s spirits were lifted, their breathing couldn’t help but quicken.
Zhang Han said excitedly, “Sir, are you referring to the Martial God, the top of the Divine Sword List?”
Before coming, he had guessed that the immortal figure who had shocked the world with a single sword, frozen Shu He, and killed Zhao Gao was the Martial God at the top of the Divine Sword List.
He just didn’t have any evidence.
◈◈◈
“That’s right!”
Zhao Wu nodded. Earlier, he had concealed his appearance and voice to kill Zhao Gao, firstly to take revenge, secondly to establish his power, and thirdly to create an immortal figure that he could use as a scapegoat at any time.
Otherwise, a mere Zhao Gao was not worthy of his attention.
“Sir, do you know the Martial God?”
Having received confirmation, Zhang Han was both surprised and delighted, his heart in his throat, his voice trembling slightly.
He never thought that he would find what he was looking for so easily.
If Zhao Wu knew the Martial God.
Then it would be much easier for His Majesty the First Emperor to obtain the Dragon Core or the Three Revolutions Fortune Pill from the Martial God.
After all, Zhao Wu was His Majesty the First Emperor’s eldest son.
And the fact that the Martial God was willing to kill Zhao Gao for Zhao Wu showed that their relationship was not ordinary.

Gai Nie was also listening intently.
Towards an immortal figure like the Martial God, he also looked up in awe. If he could see the true face of the Martial God, his life would be without regret.
“I guess you could say I know him!”
Zhao Wu nodded, “Speaking of knowing the Martial God, it’s related to my scumbag old dad!”
“Scumbag old dad?”
Zhang Han’s whole body trembled, as if struck by a bolt of lightning.
Zhao Wu shouldn’t know his dad.
Could it be that he had investigated wrong?
Besides Ying Zheng, did Xia Yu Fang have other men?
Or was it that Xia Yu Fang was bullied by other men after leaving Ying Zheng?
“No! The scumbag old dad Zhao Wu is talking about must be His Majesty, it must be His Majesty, it can’t be any other man.”
Zhang Han comforted himself in his heart, looking at Zhao Wu, he hurriedly said, “Sir, have you seen your father? Or did you only hear about him from your mother?”
“I haven’t seen him! My mother didn’t tell me about that scumbag old dad either, but my mother jumped off a cliff while pregnant with me, no matter what the reason, the other party is definitely a scumbag, don’t you think?”
Zhao Wu complained, looking at Zhang Han.
“……”
The corners of Zhang Han’s mouth twitched.
He didn’t dare to agree.
To call His Majesty the First Emperor a scumbag, Zhao Wu was the first.
Even Gai Nie on the side couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
He wondered what His Majesty’s expression would be when he heard this title?
It would probably be very interesting!
Confirming that the scumbag old dad Zhao Wu was talking about was not another man, but Ying Zheng, Zhang Han’s heart finally settled.
His Majesty the First Emperor did not have a hat, nor did he have a lush green grassland.
It was just that Zhao Wu seemed to have some issues with His Majesty.
But thinking about it, it was normal.
Zhao Wu had no father since he was a child and was raised by a single woman, Xia Yu Fang, he must have suffered a lot of discrimination and bullying, it was normal for him to have resentment.
Of course.
The title of scumbag old dad showed that although Zhao Wu had resentment, he did not hate him.
Otherwise, it would not be scumbag old dad.
But just a scumbag.
Thinking of this, Zhang Han tentatively asked, “Sir, perhaps your father had some difficulties or hidden reasons back then?”
“No matter what hidden reasons there were, as a man, to make his woman jump off a cliff, he is responsible!”
Zhao Wu waved his hand, and said directly, “If it wasn’t because I knew there might be hidden reasons, it wouldn’t be as simple as scumbag old dad.”
Zhang Han opened his mouth, but was speechless.
What Zhao Wu said seemed to make some sense.
Forget it, let His Majesty worry about it.
Zhang Han stopped dwelling on this issue, and then asked another crucial question.
“Sir, you said you know this Martial God, and it’s related to your father, this is…”
“It was the Martial God who saved your mother, right?”
At this time, Gai Nie, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.
Although it was a guess, his voice was unusually certain.
