Inside the Dreaming Medical Pavilion, Yi Junsheng was seething with anger, intending to punish the wayward woman Hua Mulan by putting her in a pig cage to vent his fury. Sima Qian stepped forward to protect his wife, blocking Yi Junsheng's reckless actions. After much persuasion from everyone present, both parties agreed to sit down and negotiate.
Yi Junsheng said, "Hua Mulan is now my wife; I have the right to punish her for her infidelity."
Sima Qian retorted, "This divorce decree is here; Hua Mulan has nothing to do with you. She is now my wife, and no one can lay a finger on her."
Yi Junsheng immediately defended himself, "This divorce decree was signed under threat for my life; I only signed it to save myself, so it doesn't count. I ask everyone present to support me in this matter."
Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances stated, "Yi Junsheng is correct; a promise made under threat cannot be considered valid. I agree with Yi Junsheng's words."
Hua Mulan argued, "I have long been estranged from Yi Junsheng; we are not suited for each other. Moreover, it is well known that Yi Junsheng cannot bring me happiness. At that time, I merely brandished a fake knife to scare him. Besides, his martial skills are on par with mine; he is a man—who would believe he was threatened by a woman into signing a divorce decree? This decree was mutually agreed upon between us without any coercion."
Upon hearing this, Yi Junsheng became furious: "Despicable Hua Mulan, how dare you turn right into wrong! Just wait and see how I deal with you." With that, Yi Junsheng prepared to rush at Hua Mulan to teach her a lesson. The crowd quickly restrained him.
Shu Heng said, "Listening to Hua Mulan, I find her reasoning sound. How could a grown man like Yi Junsheng be threatened into signing a divorce decree by a weak woman? I agree with Hua Mulan's stance."
Zhang Chongqing added, "Since both sides are adamant about their positions, we can only let those present vote on whether Hua Mulan should be with Yi Junsheng or Sima Qian. What do you think?"
Yi Junsheng shouted at Zhang Chongqing, "Zhang Chongqing, are you out of your mind? How can such matters be decided by voting?"
Sima Qian asked, "Then how do you think it should be decided?"
Yi Junsheng replied, "To uncover the truth, there is only one way: we must go back in time to when Hua Mulan was threatening me with a knife. Only then will everything be clear. Right now, only the Black Moon Box can traverse the past and future. I will go borrow the Black Moon Box; at that time, I will ask Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances to witness it."
Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances said, "Alright, this is indeed a good plan. Go fetch the Black Moon Box."
Yi Junsheng said, "The Black Moon Box is in Sister Murong's hands. I will return to the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain. You all wait for me here." After saying this, Yi Junsheng left the Dreaming Medical Pavilion.
Hua Mulan glanced at Sima Qian and shook her head. Sima Qian immediately understood Hua Mulan's meaning and found an excuse to leave the Dreaming Medical Pavilion as well.
Outside Dao Ban Shu Wu, Left Eye Blind led the disciples of the Famous Sword Society to surround Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zhi, Yu. Since Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zhi, Yu refused to reveal the whereabouts of Duanmu Chong, Left Eye Blind ordered everyone to attack Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zhi, Yu together. The sound of the qin resonated throughout the area, and a powerful energy burst forth, startling everyone. Many disciples of the Famous Sword Society with insufficient Inner Strength were injured by Qin Yin. Left Eye Blind swung his blade toward Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zhi, Yu, who was playing the qin. The high-pitched melody obstructed Left Eye Blind's path forward as several waves of energy formed an impenetrable wall slowly advancing toward him, intending to repel him.
Left Eye Blind forcefully gathered his Inner Strength and channeled it into his blade. He struck down with the intent to clear his path. However, as Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zhi, Yu spun in his wheelchair, several hidden darts flew out with the sound of the music and shot straight at Left Eye Blind. After clearing his path, Left Eye Blind was suddenly attacked by the darts and was caught off guard; one dart struck his side, causing him to fall to the ground injured. Seeing this, everyone hurriedly helped Left Eye Blind up and fled in panic.
Mr. Daoban said, "The martial arts of the musician are not weak. It seems this place is not safe either; you should go elsewhere."
Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zhi, Yu replied, "I understand now; I will take my leave." He then departed.
The disciples of the Famous Sword Society were afflicted by the Waves of Passion Technique and hurried to nearby villages seeking women to relieve their condition. A tragedy occurred again. The villagers were filled with hatred towards these demons and rushed out armed with weapons to chase them down. The disciples did not want to harm innocents and could only flee quickly. The villagers were untrained in martial arts and soon lost track of the Famous Sword Society members.
An hour later, this group of disciples returned to the Famous Sword Society and informed Xia Zhouyi of what had transpired. Upon hearing this, Xia Zhouyi was furious: "You actually committed such evil acts against innocent women! I cannot allow you to tarnish the reputation of the Famous Sword Society. Someone! Kill these scoundrels who have violated women to uphold justice!"
The guilty disciples heard Xia Zhouyi's death order and rose up in rebellion, wanting to fight for their lives. However, there were too many other disciples from the Famous Sword Society present; Xia Zhouyi also took action personally. The wrongdoers had no chance of survival. After a brief slaughter, Xia Zhouyi felt great inner turmoil but still ordered that their bodies be sent back to the village where they had committed their crimes.
At this moment, Chen Liu returned from gathering information outside and saw this tragic scene and asked, "Why does President want to kill them?"
Xia Zhouyi replied, "These people are heartless beasts unworthy of sympathy. You wouldn't have also fallen victim to the Waves of Passion Technique and gone on to violate women, would you?"
Chen Liu said, "No. I retreated in time and later followed them into the dense forest. Just as they intended to assault Madam, Yi Zhangzhi appeared just in time to drive them off. Then Madam followed Yi Zhangzhi away; I followed closely behind and discovered that Yi Zhangzhi brought Madam back to the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain. What should we do now?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhouyi was filled with rage: "Damn it! They dared to attempt to violate my wife! I will tear them apart! But first things first; we must go to the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain to retrieve my wife. Chen Liu, you will accompany me to the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain."
Chen Liu asked, "But what if Yi Zhangzhi refuses to hand her over?"
Xia Zhouyi replied, "Zhu Yingtai is my wife; what reason or position does Yi Zhangzhi have to keep her? Let's go."
At that moment, Left Eye Blind and several injured members of the Famous Sword Society returned. Left Eye Blind informed Xia Zhouyi about the injuries caused by Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zhi, Yu. Xia Zhouyi, who had endured his anger for too long, struck out with a palm, causing a loud explosion at the scene. Xia Zhouyi said, "Damn it! Things never go smoothly. Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zhi, Yu, a person who should have died long ago, after I bring my wife back, I will personally deal with him. Left Eye Blind, you are injured; you should rest. Chen Liu, we are heading to the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain." With that, Xia Zhouyi and his companion left the Famous Sword Society.
Inside the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain, Yi Zhangzhi, Murong Yaoxian, and Zhu Yingtai were sitting together enjoying tea and chatting. At this moment, Yi Junsheng hurriedly returned. The others did not recognize him, and Murong Yaoxian asked, "Who are you looking for, Western Man?"
Yi Junsheng replied, "What Western Man? You don't even recognize me as Lian Sheng. That's good; no one in the martial world recognizes me either."
Yi Zhangzhi carefully examined Yi Junsheng's appearance and said, "Indeed quite ugly; why would you choose such a face, brother?"
Yi Junsheng responded, "This isn't about discussing my looks; it's about discussing my dignity. This Hua Mulan first forced me to sign a divorce letter and then remarried Sima Qian. Isn't that undermining my dignity? Now I want the Black Moon Box to allow a witness to return to the past and prove that I was coerced into signing the divorce letter. Then I can deal with that despicable Hua Mulan."
Murong Yaoxian said, "But Sima Qian and Hua Mulan are genuinely in love with each other; why do you want to break them apart? Also, if your illness isn't cured, I doubt anyone would want to marry you. You should focus on finding the relatives of Medicine King Sun Simiao."
Yi Junsheng insisted, "No way! I can't just swallow this anger. Sister Murong, hurry up and lend me the Black Moon Box, or else I won't agree to you being with my brother."
Murong Yaoxian, annoyed, replied, "What if you don't agree? As long as Mr. Yi agrees, that's enough."
Yi Zhangzhi interjected, "Well, it can't be said like that; an elder brother is like a father. I still have to listen to my brother's words. You should lend him the Black Moon Box, or he really will break us apart."
Yi Junsheng added, "Yes! Sister Murong, quickly bring out the Black Moon Box. I also need you to teach me how to use it."
With an unhappy expression on her face, Murong Yaoxian said, "So you two brothers are teaming up to bully me? Then I'll call my brother to bully you both. Fine then, take the Black Moon Box. Poor Hua Mulan, just when she found happiness, it's about to be taken away." With that, she handed the Black Moon Box and its usage instructions to Yi Junsheng.
Yi Junsheng took the Black Moon Box and said, "Is she pitiful? I am the one who is pitiful. I'm leaving now; let's see what Sima Qian has to say this time." With that, Yi Junsheng left the scene.
At that moment, Xia Zhouyi and Chen Liu arrived. Zhu Yingtai felt a surge of fear upon seeing them. Yi Zhangzhi bowed and said, "President Xia, what brings you to my humble abode?"
Xia Zhouyi replied, "I have come to take back my wife, Zhu Yingtai."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yingtai exclaimed, "Who is your wife? Today, in front of Mr. Yi, I will divorce you. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other."
Xia Zhouyi responded, "This is not the Confucius Academy anymore; we are in a patriarchal world where women cannot divorce their husbands. Only men can divorce their wives; there is no such thing as a woman divorcing her husband. Mr. Yi, do you agree?"
Yi Zhangzhi stammered, "Well, while that may be true, as far as I know, you two had an agreement before getting married. Miss Zhu has the right to divorce President Xia."
Xia Zhouyi argued further, "There is indeed an agreement, but it is based on my inability to fulfill the conditions or if my behavior is inappropriate. I have not done anything to wrong Zhu Yingtai. As for the incident with Duanmu Chong, it was an accident. My Famous Sword Society is currently searching for his whereabouts; I believe we will capture him soon. At that time, you can personally kill him if you wish."
Zhu Yingtai replied, "Let's wait until you capture Duanmu Chong then. You have already broken the agreement and deceived me; I can completely divorce you according to our agreement. To be fair, I will give you three days. If I cannot personally kill Duanmu the old thief within three days, then our fate is sealed."
Xia Zhouyi said, "What do you mean our fate is sealed? We have already been husband and wife for some time. Moreover, you may already be carrying my child. If you divorce me, who will take care of both of you?"
Murong Yaoxian asked, "President Xia, how can you be so sure that Zhu Yingtai is carrying your child?"
Xia Zhouyi answered, "Haven't we already been husband and wife? It would be normal for her to bear my child."
Zhu Yingtai's anger flared as she said, "Old man, what are you talking about? The three-day deadline has passed; I will divorce you now. From today onward, we will sever our marital ties and treat each other like strangers when we meet in the future."
Chen Liu interjected, "How can this be? Madam, you are already President Xia's wife; that means you belong to him for life. This cannot be changed. Please come back with us to the Famous Sword Society." With that said, Chen Liu stepped forward intending to pull Zhu Yingtai away.
Zhu Yingtai, seeing this, immediately launched an attack on Chen Liu. Murong Yaoxian also stood with Zhu Yingtai, drawing his sword and joining the assault on Chen Liu. Xia Zhouyi and Yi Zhangzhi exchanged cold glances, contemplating whether they could resolve the situation through force. After a moment, Xia Zhouyi shouted for Chen Liu to stop. Xia Zhouyi said to Yi Zhangzhi, "Mr. Yi, I must take my wife back; please do not obstruct me."
Yi Zhangzhi replied, "President Xia, you cannot say that. This place is my residence; you come here to take away my guest, how can I ignore it? Moreover, Miss Zhu does not wish to leave with you; you should return."
Seeing Yi Zhangzhi's firm attitude, Xia Zhouyi realized that it would be impossible to take Zhu Yingtai away from here. He then left the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain in anger with Chen Liu.
Zhu Yingtai bowed to Yi Zhangzhi and said, "Thank you once again, Mr. Yi, for your assistance."
Not long after Yi Junsheng exited the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain, he encountered an attack from the Masked Man, whose target was the Black Moon Box on Yi Junsheng's person. Yi Junsheng said, "Who dares to covet my treasure? Are you tired of living?"
The Masked Man replied, "Hand over the Black Moon Box, and I will spare your life."
Premature Aging arrived at Drunken Red Mansion intending to find a girl to vent his frustrations. This time, Tao Yuanliang stepped up to uphold the rules of Drunken Red Mansion and confronted Premature Aging. Tao Yuanliang declared, "As long as I am here, you shall not act recklessly."
Premature Aging laughed heartily and said, "Ant, you have greatly inflated your own worth."
Tension filled the air as Yi Junsheng faced robbery from the Masked Man; could he protect the Black Moon Box? Inside Drunken Red Mansion, Tao Yuanliang faced life-threatening danger against Premature Aging; could he survive against this Anomaly?
