Chapter 518 Getting Married Again
"Hmph, I don't believe you won't go to sleep." Lin Ping thought to himself as he watched Mo Youying's retreating figure.
Even with her exceptional martial arts skills, Mo Youying still has a physical body and needs rest.
That was also their best chance to escape silently.
"Black Dog, if you were the enemy, would you leave your swords and knives to us?" Lin Ping suddenly asked late at night.
Jiang Mo naturally disliked this title, but he was more curious about Lin Ping's answer.
The enemy has no reason not to take away their weapons; it's probably more than just a matter of contempt.
"Hmph, if I hadn't been so obsessed with lightness skills and neglected my swordsmanship, would they have looked down on me?" Jiang Mo said defiantly.
Being captured by Mo Youying was already a great humiliation, but having him hold a weapon in his hand was even more disgraceful.
"Rather than looking down on us, they're testing our strength," Lin Ping explained. "Mo Youying is the head of the Lotus Palace. He doesn't have the time to stay here forever. He'll definitely go to headquarters to report the situation."
"You mean Mo Youying will leave soon?" Jiang Mo seemed to understand Lin Ping's meaning.
“That’s right. As for when he’ll leave, it depends on our performance,” Lin Ping said mysteriously.
"Watch how we perform?" Jiang Mo was increasingly confused.
“If we don’t fight to escape, how will he know if this cage can hold us? And how will Mo Youying leave so easily?”
Lin Ping explained with a smile.
"So, they left us weapons so we could escape?" Jiang Mo finally understood after Lin Ping's reminder.
"Then we'll just have to let them have their way." Jiang Mo chuckled, gripping his longsword and forcefully hacking at the prison door.
Boring!
The violent collision produced a crisp sound, sparks flew from the blades, but the prison door remained completely undamaged.
Lin Ping was certain the sound could be heard throughout the entire dungeon; even if Mo Youying was fast asleep, she should have noticed something.
However, after a long time, Mo Youying did not make a sound.
Out of curiosity, Lin Ping activated the X-ray and indeed saw Guo Zhiqian come over after hearing the noise, only to find her talking quietly with Mo Youying.
"See? I told you long ago that this Xuan Tie Gate is indestructible. Even experts from the Chi Yang Pavilion can't escape it," Guo Zhiqian said confidently.
"Let's wait and see. What if the cell door is already damaged? I'll leave once I'm absolutely sure everything is safe. If you hadn't insisted on keeping this kid here, he would be dead already. We absolutely cannot afford any mistakes."
Mo Youying replied unhappily.
Lin Ping's existence poses a threat to Lotus Palace to some extent, and Mo Youying will not allow such a person to live.
But Guo Zhixi insisted on marrying him, and Mo Youying couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she could only make sure that Lin Ping would never be able to escape from the city lord's mansion.
"Whatever you want, but I'm getting married to him in three days." With that, Guo Zhixi turned and left.
She said she was fighting for Jiang Yunying's man, but in reality, she had already fallen for him and gotten together with him.
"What are you yelling about? Believe me or not, I'll kill you right now." In order not to arouse suspicion from Lin Ping and the others, Mo Youying still managed to come up with a couple of threats.
"What a night owl, still not asleep at this hour," Lin Ping muttered under his breath, pouting.
Lin Ping didn't stop that night. Before Mo Youying could even fall asleep, he would make some noise.
In the end, all of these came to an end with Mo Youying's warning: every time he came, he would secretly observe the situation at the prison gate.
Aside from some scratches, there was no immediate damage.
In other words, Jiang Mo's strength was indeed insufficient to break the prison gate.
This situation continued for two days, and Jiang Mo's precious sword finally broke in two.
Looking at the broken sword, his heart bled. He glared at Lin Ping through gritted teeth and said, "This is my brother. You'd better compensate me with a sharper one, or forget it, just give me ten thousand taels of silver."
"Definitely, definitely." Lin Ping raised his hands in surrender, never expecting Jiang Mo to be such a greedy fellow.
Early on the third day, Lin Ping was dragged out and blindfolded into the city lord's mansion.
Jiang Mo was still imprisoned in the dungeon, but Mo Youying was no longer there to guard him.
Now that his sword is broken, there's no way he can open the prison door, so there's no need for Mo Youying to stay any longer.
He did not rush back to Lotus Palace immediately, but instead accepted Guo Zhixi's invitation to attend the wedding.
Upon entering the city lord's mansion, Lin Ping was dressed in formal attire by several extremely ugly maids, making him look incredibly handsome.
Guo Zhixi did not appear immediately; they could not meet before the wedding.
As evening approached, a grand wedding was held inside the city lord's mansion.
All the famous figures and merchants of Huizhou gathered here, including the prefect and the commander.
Clearly, the lord of Huizhou has bribed people in the imperial court and now possesses a much larger military force.
"Qian'er, are you really going to marry this pretty boy?" This was the first thing the city lord of Huizhou said to Lin Ping.
Aside from being handsome, this guy doesn't seem to have any other special talents.
"Don't let my fair complexion fool you, I'm ruthless at heart!" Lin Ping muttered to himself, while also memorizing his enemy's face.
Lin Ping has a principle: others can insult his character, but they must never insult his appearance.
“Father, don’t let your delicate appearance fool you, you actually have some special talents,” Guo Zhixi said, lifting the red veil to defend Lin Ping.
"You know I have a special talent? Could it be that my wife told her?" Lin Ping asked, puzzled. He remembered that even Jiang Yunying was unaware of this open secret.
"Do as you please, as long as it helps the Guo family to have many descendants," said the city lord of Huizhou, waving his hand. This was his only requirement for Lin Ping.
"Spreading offspring? I'm not a stud!" Lin Ping was indignant, but also felt this was a challenge.
After going through the complicated wedding ceremony, the two were officially husband and wife.
This is Lin Ping's third marriage; it remains to be seen whether they will be able to consummate their marriage.
He increasingly felt that marriage was a game, and didn't necessarily mean physical intimacy. He found the passion of his night with Jiang Hongling far more enjoyable.
Since he was marrying into the family, Lin Ping naturally had to fulfill his duties as a son-in-law. He stayed alone in the room, guarded by guards outside the door, and his hands and feet were tied.
"The environment is quite nice, and the incense smells good too." Lin Ping was very satisfied with the spacious room.
As the figure behind the screen appeared, Lin Ping's heart leaped into his throat.
"Brother, you'd better listen to me. No matter what tricks this girl uses, you can't fail." Lin Ping muttered to himself. He believed that as long as he didn't take the initiative, this matter wouldn't work out.
Anyway, toothpaste and medicated oil didn't exist at that time.
"What if she uses some special methods?" Lin Ping felt a chill run down his spine, and unconsciously imagined several cruel methods.
Before Guo Zhixi could even get close, Lin Ping had already begun to become restless.
You can't think about these things, or you'll easily make a mistake.
When Guo Zhixi appeared with a small leather whip, Lin Ping panicked completely, as if a dramatic action-comedy romance was about to unfold.
