Chapter 127 One Man, Two Women
Amid the countless thanks from the Baiyue refugees, Yan Lingji and Yang Chong left the deserted military camp together.

"I thought you would stay." Yang Chong pulled Yan Lingji's little hand while walking in the wilderness.

"They are very pitiful, but it has nothing to do with me. To be honest, I don't have many feelings for Baiyue. Although it is the place where I was born, it is not the place where I was raised." Yan Lingji looked at the moon in the sky. It was illuminating the land of Baiyue at this moment, but Yan Lingji did not have the slightest nostalgia for that place.

"Not only do I dislike that place, I even hate it. However, if I were asked to kill those innocent people like Tianze did, I wouldn't have done that. I didn't expect Tianze to have... such an idea, to actually kill them." Yan Lingji said disappointedly. Tianze was her benefactor after all, and she had worked for Tianze for many years. She even made a deal with Yang Chong in order to find Tianze. But the Tianze she saw now made Yan Lingji feel very unfamiliar and even disgusted.

"If you can understand his behavior, then you are the same person as him." Yang Chong pressed the soft flesh in Yan Lingji's palm with his thumb. This kind of Yan Lingji is the best. As for the Baiyue Demon Girl, she no longer exists.

"If I hadn't met you, would I have become the same as them?" Yan Lingji thought about her experiences over the past few years and the changes that had taken place because of Yang Chong. This discovery made her think of another possibility: What if she had never met Yang Chong? What would she be like now? Would she slaughter those refugees together with Tianze today?

"There's no need to think about what ifs, because I'm the one holding your hand right now." Yang Chong raised their hands that were held together. From the first time he saw Yan Lingji, he would never let Yan Lingji go down the same path as before.

"Yes, we are the ones who are together now." Yan Lingji smiled slightly. With her bright eyes, she had forgotten all her worries. After all, they were just irrelevant people.

The two walked and talked until the city gate of Xinzheng appeared in their sight.

The lights in Zilanxuan were still bright, and amidst the laughter and joy, the whole of Korea was in a life of decadence and debauchery.

Han Fei and Wei Zhuang gathered together, one of them reclining on a banquet table, sipping his wine glass, thinking about the political situation in Korea and the slightest disturbance in and outside Xinzheng, while Wei Zhuang was wiping his shark-tooth sword. Zi Nu, on the other hand, stood in the position that once belonged to Wei Zhuang, by the window facing the street, looking at the pedestrians on the street through the windowsill, as if expecting something.

"The refugees from Baiyue appeared quite suddenly, but I heard that the refugees who fled to Korea were only a small part of the Baiyue refugees. There were even more refugees who fled into the Qin State. And unlike the refugees we have seen, most of them are the elderly, the weak, women and children. The Baiyue refugees who fled into the Qin State were mostly young and middle-aged people. It seems that they also know that they can get more opportunities in the Qin State." Han Fei said. King Han's decision to take in the Baiyue refugees was also influenced by him.

"They really won't have any chance in Korea. They will either become slaves of the powerful or become thugs in the underworld." Wei Zhuang said, how can the environment in Korea be compared with that of Qin.

Ji Wuye was not as good as the generals of Qin State in terms of military prowess and loyalty, and he was not even good at defending the status quo. Compared with Lu Buwei, the prime minister of Qin State, he was even further behind. As for King Han An? He was even more incomparable to the current King of Qin. More importantly, in front of Qin State, Han State was not only weak in national strength, but also weak from top to bottom, from system to ideology.

"Alas, so we still have a long way to go!" Han Fei smiled bitterly. He wanted to make South Korea strong again, but this was easier said than done. One night, he felt like he had no idea where to start. What was more troublesome was that there might be another nightmare behind the night. South Korea's territory had been eroded to only two counties, but internally, all kinds of forces were intertwined and fighting openly and secretly, which was no simpler than the other major powers.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Ji Wuye has come to where he is today step by step. It would be ridiculous if his twenty years of business were broken by you so easily." Wei Zhuang said.

"Of course, Ji Wuye is a very good opponent and we will defeat him." Han Fei regained his spirit. He came back from Qi to revitalize Han, so how could he be afraid of a challenge.

"I received news today that several Baiyue masters have sneaked into Xinzheng recently." Wei Zhuang said.

"Masters from the Baiyue? They are a group of people who are good at witchcraft. Their martial arts may not be very high, but their various strange methods are hard to guard against." Han Fei pondered, recalling the records about the Baiyue.

The two men were talking and analyzing where to proceed next, while Zi Nu was absent-mindedly looking at the pedestrians on the street through the window.

"Men are really annoying animals. It's only been two days, and they have forgotten me?" Although there were many pedestrians on the street, none of them was someone Zi Nu was familiar with, which made her feel even more impatient.

Yang Chong was like a nemesis to Zi Nu. She was fed up with the harassment she had suffered before and wanted to avoid him as far away as possible. But just when she was about to accept Yang Chong, Yang Chong suddenly disappeared again, and he was gone for two days. You know, Yang Chong came every day before, although he was looking for Nong Yu.

Now Zi Nu is very sure that she is really moved. When Yang Chong took her into the theater in a domineering manner, she was already moved.

The theater was owned by the Zhang family. Both Han Fei and Zhang Liang were her friends, but no one would think of breaking those damn rules for her. It was also because of this that Zi Nu vaguely realized that no matter how deep her cooperation with Han Fei and his friends was, in the subconscious of Han Fei, Zhang Liang and other nobles, she was just a boss who ran a place of romance. As for Han Fei, Zi Nu admitted that she had some feelings for him before. He was noble, knowledgeable, humorous, and very good at winning the favor of women. But what about Yang Chong? He only knew how to be straightforward. Didn't he know that a woman was reserved? With Yang Chong's way of pursuing people, which woman would agree to him?
But one theater changed everything.

When Zi Nu mentioned the theater at that time, it was originally unintentional, and she even joked that she was not qualified to go to such a place. Han Fei's attitude was tacit agreement. In Zi Nu's cognition, there was nothing wrong with such an attitude, because she was indeed not qualified to go to such a place.

But Yang Chong's behavior overturned her mood. When she said the same thing to Yang Chong, Yang Chong took him to the theater without saying a word, and forced his way in. This offended the entire Zhang family, and even the rules of the Korean industry represented by the Zhang family for many years, and the rules that the royal family and the Zhang family tried hard to maintain.

One thing and two men completely shook Zi Nu's state of mind. She had realized that even if she really fell in love with Han Fei in the future and Han Fei also liked her, to Han Fei, she was still just the boss of Zilanxuan and a woman who was not presentable. No matter how important she was in Han Fei's heart, she was still not as important as the rules that he tried so hard to maintain.

Han Fei, no matter how humorous and approachable he appeared, deep down in his bones, he still had the arrogance of an aristocrat.

But Yang Chong is different. He is someone who can break the rules for her.

So, since that day, Zi Nu was truly attracted to Yang Chong, but what happened after she fell in love? Yang Chong disappeared.

This made Zi Nu feel extremely conflicted. After all, she had someone she cared about. Although her mind was still broad, there could only be one man in her heart.

"Oh." Zi Nu sighed softly, and the next moment, her resentment disappeared, replaced by excitement, surprise, and she subconsciously raised her hand to say hello.

She saw the familiar figure.

Zi Nu's gaze followed the figure, and slowly, another woman's figure appeared in her sight, together with that figure.

Looking at the two figures walking hand in hand, information about Yang Chong emerged in Zi Nu's mind. She learned about Yang Chong from Wei Zhuang and Nong Yu: there was a woman in his family who was more beautiful than her.

Is it her?
Zi Nu raised her hand and hesitated.

At this moment, the person downstairs seemed to notice the existence and actually raised his head. In an instant, their eyes met and they saw each other's existence.

Just when Zi Nu didn't know how to face Yang Chong who was walking with another woman, Yang Chong raised his hand, waved gently, and greeted her silently.

The woman next to him also discovered Zi Nu upstairs because of his actions. A look of confusion emerged on her pure and charming face, and then she suddenly realized and imitated Yang Chong, raising her hand and waved to the woman on the roof with a smile.

Zi Nu waved her hand, which was stiff in the air, without saying a word. She watched Yang Chong and the woman walk forward and finally disappear into the crowd in the night.

"So this is what it feels like!" Looking at the figure that no longer existed, Zi Nu couldn't help but smile. It was a very light smile, but it moved the soft flesh on her cheeks.

The woman was indeed very beautiful, even more beautiful than what Nongyu said, and she looked very nice too. Zi Nu recalled the scene just now, feeling sour and envious, but not jealous.

"That would be nice, walking together on the street, passing through the crowd, without having to say anything, because holding hands, that is the closest distance between each other." Zi Nu muttered to herself, she had also thought about it.

"I said this woman is stupid." When Zi Nu was immersed in her own emotions, Wei Zhuang's cold and gloomy voice came, interrupting her thoughts.
