Adulterers and Adulteresses

Gu Qingxuan cautiously made his way to the Buddhist hall.

They soon realized that they had gone to great lengths—there was no one guarding the area around the Buddhist temple.

Come to think of it, adultery is not something to be proud of.

Even if Xie Tinghe didn't care, Xie Jiantang certainly didn't want more people to know, or for it to spread and tarnish his reputation as Marquis of Dingyuan. Besides, the Marquis's mansion was heavily guarded. As long as the outer perimeter and the backyard were guarded, a mere Buddhist hall didn't need to be guarded by anyone.

Gu Qingxuan followed the shadows around the corner and quickly rushed over.

Since rushing out of the Marquis's mansion would definitely alert the guards, we might as well do something first!

Gu Qingxuan arrived silently at the entrance of the Buddhist hall.

The door to the Buddhist hall was ajar.

The sounds of men and women flirting could be heard coming from inside.

"Zhengming, you're even more impressive than usual today..." The woman's voice was languid and charming.

"That's because you're so beautiful, Tinghe." Huo Zhengming's voice was full of pride. "Every time I see you, my heart can't be contained."

"You're so good with words." Xie Tinghe chuckled. "You two are not bad either. Although you can't compare to Zhengming, you each have your own strengths."

"Thank you for the compliment, Miss." Two men's voices rang out one after the other, one younger and the other rougher, both with fawning tones.

"Listen to the Lotus".

Huo Zhengming's voice suddenly turned cold: "That good-for-nothing is still alive, and I can't hold back any longer! Every time I think about how he's still alive under the name of your husband, it feels like there's a thorn stuck in my heart."

"What's the rush?"

Xie Tinghe said calmly, "You're not the son-in-law of the Marquis's family, but aren't you just as frivolous? That good-for-nothing didn't even touch me, and in the end, you all benefited."

"How can they be the same?"

Huo Zhengming's voice carried a hint of malice: "Whether it's a name without substance or substance without name, it's all incomplete! I have to be careful around you in public, I even have to sneak around to look at you. Why should a good-for-nothing like him be able to openly be your husband? It must be that Qin Laosi and the others aren't doing their job properly, or someone is helping him—don't let me find out who that traitor is, or I'll skin him alive!"

Xie Tinghe chuckled lightly: "You really want to be the son-in-law of the Marquis's family?"

Huo Zhengming's tone suddenly became affectionate: "I don't care about the title of son-in-law of a marquis's family, Tinghe, I just want to treat you well openly and honestly~"

"Clang..." Xie Tinghe's voice softened, clearly moved by these words. The bed curtains rustled softly, and the rustling sounds started again, indicating that a new round was about to begin.

Gu Qingxuan, looking disgusted, kicked open the door.

With a loud crash, the heavy wooden door, along with its latch, flew through the air and smashed into the Buddha statue, sending splinters of wood flying everywhere!

A cold wind swept into the Buddhist hall, and the flickering candlelight illuminated the lewd scene inside.

Directly opposite the entrance is a gilded Bodhisattva statue, with lowered eyebrows and downcast eyes, and hands clasped together.

In front of the Bodhisattva statue was an outrageously large sandalwood bed, on which lay four people, three men and one woman, naked, like dead fish in a market.

Xie Tinghe was in the center, with snow-white skin and a truly beautiful appearance. She had almond-shaped eyes and peach-blossom cheeks, and her brows and eyes exuded the arrogant air of a noble lady from a marquis's mansion. To her left was Huo Zhengming, who was tall and strong, with fair skin. His appearance was quite outstanding among this group of adulterers.

To the right were two young, robust men. One was dark-skinned and muscular, while the other was slightly thinner but still had the physique of a martial artist. All three were male concubines kept by Xie Tinghe in her household, who provided them with a life of luxury and supported them by pleasing this woman.

The moment the door was kicked open, the three men were startled and hurriedly tried to cover themselves.

Xie Tinghe instinctively wanted to scream, but the sound got stuck in her throat before she could utter it.

Because she recognized the person who came.

—Gu Qingxuan.

Moonlight streamed in from behind him, outlining a tall and slender figure.

Her eyebrows were arched to her temples, her features were exquisite, and her skin glowed with a luminous sheen in the moonlight and candlelight. Beneath her thin inner garment, her muscles were well-proportioned and taut.

He stood in the doorway, staring blankly at the bed, his gaze as indifferent as if he were looking at a pile of garbage.

Is this Gu Qingxuan?

A strange light flashed in Xie Tinghe's eyes.

She had seen this man countless times, and each time he was sallow-faced, hunched over, with shifty eyes, cowering in a corner like a stray dog ​​soaked in the rain.

She never looked at him directly, and couldn't even be bothered to laugh at him.

But the person in front of me, whose facial features are still the same, seems to have undergone a complete transformation.

A thought couldn't help but pop into her mind: How come I never noticed before that my husband actually had such a sensual side!

Huo Zhengming also recognized the person who came.

His face immediately filled with disgust. Why is it this good-for-nothing again? He dares to come here? But it's fine, since he's here, there's no need to hide it anymore.

He sat up leisurely, too lazy to even put on his clothes, and reached out to put his arm around Xie Tinghe's waist to show his absolute possession of this woman.

He reached out, but grasped only empty air.

Xie Tinghe stared intently at Gu Qingxuan at the door, completely unaware of his movements. The tenderness and affection she had shown him earlier were gone from her eyes, replaced by a bright, delighted surprise—like a little girl who had seen a new and interesting toy.

Huo Zhengming's face instantly darkened, and a surge of anger rose from the bottom of his heart.

He gritted his teeth, suppressing his anger, and sneered, "What, is the son-in-law trying to catch us in the act?"

Gu Qingxuan's gaze swept over the four people on the bed, and he said indifferently, "Adultery and forcing your husband to commit murder are ten heinous crimes. It is only right that I kill you all!"

Huo Zhengming laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, throwing his head back and shouting, "You piece of trash? I don't know who healed your injuries, but you, a mere first-level acquired cultivator, dare to speak so arrogantly?!"

He stood up, stepped naked off the bed, his eyes full of disdain: "I didn't kill you with one blow last time because I held back. Since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, fine, saves me the trouble of waiting!"

He winked at the two burly men.

The two men immediately jumped off the bed and pounced on Gu Qingxuan from the left and right at the same time—the dark-skinned man on the left threw a punch straight at his face, while the slightly thinner man on the right crouched down and swept his leg. The two cooperated quite well, obviously they had been trained.

Gu Qingxuan stepped to the side to avoid the left-side punch, and struck the dark-skinned man's elbow with his right palm!

The power of the dragon and elephant was poured in, and a crisp cracking sound was heard.

The arm was bent at an angle that a normal person could never do!

Before the dark-skinned male concubine could even utter a scream, Gu Qingxuan's left foot rose up and kicked him in the chest, sending him flying. He crashed heavily into the base of the Bodhisattva statue, instantly breaking his bones and collapsing to the ground!

As his right foot landed, he spun around and pushed off with the momentum. The male concubine's sweeping leg move was too long to retract in time. Gu Qingxuan stepped on his knee joint, and with another crisp sound, his knee bent backward!

The man also screamed in pain instinctively, but Gu Qingxuan didn't even glance at him. He kicked the man's chin with his toe, rendering him speechless. The man flew backward several feet away, his eyes rolled back, his body convulsed, and he fell silent.

With two casual moves, he crippled two people; his movements were clean and swift, like swatting two flies.

They didn't even let out a scream.

Xie Tinghe's eyes shone even brighter.

She completely forgot that she was naked, and she completely forgot that the two men lying in pools of blood had just shared a bed with her. In her eyes, there was only Gu Qingxuan—this was the man who deserved her!

She was completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

In her mind, no man would be bad to Xie Tinghe. She was the only daughter of the Marquis of Dingyuan. From childhood to adulthood, she had everything she wanted. All men wanted to please her, so how could Gu Qingxuan be an exception?

Was all he did simply to demonstrate his power in front of her and win her back?

What's the difference between her and those young, handsome men outside who fight and get into fights over her?

"waste!"

She ignored the two people on the ground, but kept staring at Gu Qingxuan with affection as she spoke.

Huo Zhengming was secretly alarmed, and his expression changed slightly.

wrong!

This isn't that good-for-nothing!

If the injuries heal, that's fine, but the fortune teller's prediction of "a coward with a heart of stone" is absolutely correct!

This man was not only physically strong, but also incredibly bold. To kill someone in the Marquis's mansion was simply outrageous!

Something was wrong, but he was now in a difficult position.

If he backs down, Xie Tinghe will definitely discard him like trash; if he doesn't back down, he'll have to face this person right in front of him!

Huo Zhengming's mind raced, and he decided to fight to the death.

"court death!"

He roared to bolster his courage, flipped himself up, and his inner strength surged forth. He flipped his right palm up, and a strange bluish-black color appeared on his palm. There was a faint sound of ghosts wailing in the wind from his palm!

Heart-Piercing Palm!

This is the Huo family's signature technique; the palm strike penetrates the heart meridian, and those struck by it will suffer a fate worse than death!

Last time he held back, only wanting Gu Qingxuan to slowly die in agony;

This time, he used all his strength, determined to kill this piece of trash in front of him.

Huo Zhengming struck out with a palm, aiming straight for Gu Qingxuan's heart!
