Rather than navigating the intricacies of a wealthy family, its wiser to marry into a middle-cla.s.s household and choose a man who can appreciate her, Qin Zhenzhen suggested.

Preferably one who doesnt entertain the idea of taking concubines.

Qin Zhenzhen smiled knowingly. In this world, its challenging for a capable man to abstain from having a concubine, given the cultural norms of ancient times. Even gifts and flattery between men often involve beautiful concubines.

Su Bin responded confidently, There are exceptions to everything, and I can certainly be one.

Playfully, Qin Zhenzhen teased him, Were still young. You can say that now. Who knows if you might change your mind when Im old?

Su Bin a.s.serted, I promise not to.

Curiously, Qin Zhenzhen asked, What if I die before you? Would you consider marrying someone else?

Before Qin Zhenzhen could finish her sentence, Su Bin playfully covered her mouth.

Concerned about Qin Zhenzhens pregnancy, Su Bin hesitated to prolong the kiss but seemed satisfied after a brief taste.

From now on, dont mention anything about dying before me. Well be happy together forever.

Qin Zhenzhen clicked her tongue teasingly. Look at you. Arent you afraid of being seen? If you want me to stop, just say it. Why resort to such methods? This is the courtyard.

Su Bin hugged her and chuckled. Its fine here. There are fewer servants in our house, all busy with other tasks. Who would dare to peek?

By the way, let me update you on the situation in Heaven Mountain. Seated side by side, Su Bin gently held Qin Zhenzhen in his arms as she continued to share the latest developments.

When Su Bin first arrived in Shanglin, he initiated a call to action by posting a heros proclamation. The Dragon Phoenix Halls amplification of the message quickly stirred up a storm in the martial world.

Initially, the head of the martial arts community slammed the table, declaring, We martial artists bear the responsibility of rectifying injustices in the world! Given the limited military strength of the imperial court, let us dispense justice on behalf of the heavens! Its also a message to the people that if the soldiers cant do it, we can!

Initially, the martial arts leader reached out to heroes from orthodox sects and civil organizations aligned with these sects. Later, organizations bridging the gap between the orthodox and the underworld also joined the cause. Recognizing the practicality of a larger force, the martial arts leader welcomed their involvement.

Upon their arrival in Shanglin, Su Bin extended a warm welcome to the heroes. Whether intentionally or not, he hinted that the bandits atop the mountain had ama.s.sed considerable wealth in gold, silver, and treasures over time. If soldiers were to surround them, these spoils would have to be surrendered to the treasury. However, with the heroes of the martial world leading the charge, there would be no obligation to relinquish these gains.

This siege is entirely composed of such soldiers, all thanks to the heroes here, Su Bin emphasized. The mountain bandits are a ruthless bunch. If necessary, dont hesitate to eliminate them. No need for formalities like registration or handing over the spoils from the mountains.

Su Bins words echoed the sentiments of the a.s.sembled heroes, some of whom were motivated by the allure of gold, silver, and jewelry. Having gained Su Bins trust, these individuals became even more eager to partake in suppressing the bandits.

These heroes displayed a commendable level of discipline, adhering to the directives of the martial arts world leader.

Having previously conferred, they devised a plan: all treasures acquired in the mountains would be consolidated. Upon successfully eradicating the bandits, rewards would be distributed based on each individuals contributions.

The influence of the martial arts world leader should not be underestimated. He held a position akin to the highest commander among the soldiers, commanding respect and authority.

In a swift and coordinated effort, they successfully dismantled two sizable bandit strongholds..
