In a world where there are more men than women, I am spoiled

Chapter 1289 What is a genuine seal? What is a fake seal?

Xu Minghe couldn't help but burst out laughing after hearing this.

Su Yueyao turned to look at him, her tone tinged with helplessness: "Minghe, what are you laughing at? Are you all so afraid of stars?"

"Does my wife want to hear the truth or a lie?" Xu Minghe asked, blinking his eyes.

What is the truth? What is a lie?

“My lady, the truth is we are not only afraid of Consort Xing, but also of the Lord and His Highness, and all the other consorts.”

Su Yueyao was completely puzzled when she heard this. Xingchen wasn't someone who would hurt or oppress people at will, so what were they afraid of?

Looking at his wife, Sun Yibai sighed, "Wife, Minghe's implication is that you value Consort Xing and the Lord highly. Since we joined the family late, it's essential to treat them with courtesy."

"A woman's harem is not primarily determined by her title, but rather by the woman's favor."

After Sun Yibai finished speaking, Su Yueyao immediately understood. This was actually similar to the harem in ancient times, where a man's favor determined a woman's status in the harem.

"So Minghe's lie was to say that Xingchen's martial arts skills are strong, and it's normal for you to be afraid of him?"

"My wife is very smart, she's right!" Xu Minghe praised with a smile.

Su Yueyao: “…”

She didn't feel praised at all despite all the compliments.

. . . . . . . . .

At this moment, they had reached Xingchen in the middle of the cliff, and Tian Yunsheng and the others were tightly gripping the vines as they jumped down.

After a while, Xingchen, Tianyunsheng, and three people transferred from outside the Duanhong Alliance successfully descended to the bottom of the cliff.

Looking at the dense jungle, Tian Yunsheng immediately sent a signal.

“Xingce Jun, I’m sending a signal. The people above will be able to confirm that we’ve successfully reached the bottom. Cheng Rong will see it and immediately send me a signal back. That way, we can determine their current location,” Tian Yunsheng explained.

Xingchen nodded, picked up the torch, and began to look around.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a signal appeared in the southeast direction.

"Lord Xingce, Cheng Rong and the others are over there. Let's go over there now!"

Afterwards, the group headed in the direction Cheng Rong had sent the signal. After walking for half an hour, they finally found a hidden cave.

Cheng Rong and Wenren Qichi were already standing at the cave entrance, waiting.

"Greetings, Lord Xingce." Cheng Rong bowed and continued, "Lord Xingce, Young Master, were you able to come down because you found the way up? Young Master Qi was not injured at all, but his bodyguard was more seriously injured and only woke up for a while this afternoon."

"Young Master, I sprinkled some concealing powder and insect repellent powder around this cave. Otherwise, there would have been many wild beasts lurking around, and we wouldn't have been able to hold out until you came to rescue us," Cheng Rong said pitifully.

"Thank you for your hard work. How about I have Chengshi cook special meals for you for ten days when you get back?"

"Young Master is very kind, I agree!" Cheng Rong smiled and continued to lead them into the cave.

Xingchen, who was walking ahead, paused and glanced at Wenren Qichi, about to say something, when Wenren Qichi said directly, "Xinglangjun, let's talk about my matter later. Right now, let's try to leave here as soon as possible. This place is not very safe."

“Qi Chi is right. We should leave as soon as possible. Last night, many wild animals came out, and it’s too damp here. Young Master Qi’s body can’t take it for more than a few days,” Cheng Rong said.

Xingchen and Tianyunsheng both glanced at Chengrong when they heard him address Wenren Qichi, but given the current situation, they really needed to leave as soon as possible: "In a little while, I'll carry Fengqi, and Yunsheng, you and Chengrong will take turns carrying Xingwu. We'll climb up directly from where we jumped off the cliff."

“There are ropes halfway up the mountain to pull Fengqi and Xingwu up.”

“It seems there are no good paths around here. Are the three people who came down with you, Xinglangjun, going to cooperate with us later? If so, there are many vines on the mountain peaks here. We can send three people to the mountainside to use the vines to pull people up.”

“I’ll support them from below, there shouldn’t be any problem,” Wenren Qichi said.

The group looked at him in surprise.

“Young Master Wenren, the person supporting the bottom must have top-notch internal strength and lightness skills. I’ll take over,” Tian Yunsheng said directly.

His original intention was to be the one to hold things together, but he really didn't expect Wenren Qichi to say such a thing.

“My internal strength and lightness skills are both quite good, I can do it. You, Tianlangjun, are more suitable to pull them from above,” Wenren Qichi said firmly.

Upon hearing Wenren Qichi's words, Xingchen silently patted his shoulder lightly. Wenren Qichi shook his shoulders and pushed Xingchen's hand away slightly.

The next second, Xingchen said directly, "Let Young Master Wenren hold on."

When Tian Yunsheng heard Xingchen speak, he said nothing more.

The group entered the cave, where Feng Qi was applying medicine to Xing Wu. Hearing the sound, she turned to look at Xing Chen, then quickly ran over and hugged him.

Her voice choked up instantly: "Brother Xingchen, I knew you would come to save me, Sister Yue wouldn't abandon me."

"The wife is now on the cliff top."

"Sister Yue is here? She just finished her postpartum period and has just recovered. Why did she come? Why didn't you keep my jumping off the cliff a secret from her?" Feng Qi immediately became anxious.

Xingchen gently pushed the person away and said sternly, "Feng Qi, you were so resolute this time when you were forced to jump off the cliff. You originally thought that you would rather die than implicate your wife. But have you ever thought about how heartbroken your wife would be if something happened to you? Didn't you see how your wife looked when Minghe and Haoxuan were in trouble?"

"I...."

"Sister Yue... has never said she wanted to marry me, so... that's why..."

"She didn't say she wanted to marry you, but she didn't kick you out, did she? If she were truly heartless towards you, she wouldn't have let you stay in her residence in Fengdu for so long."

"I'll settle these scores with you later. Let's leave here first."

After Xingchen finished speaking, he walked to Xingwu's side, gently took his pulse, and frowned. The injury was so serious, how could he go up?

At this time, it is best for the person in question to rest quietly and not move around easily.

“Brother Xingchen, don’t worry about it so much. Xingwu can manage.” Feng Qi said to them firmly.

After that, the group began to move, heading towards the direction from which they had jumped off the cliff.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The eldest prince and his companions, waiting on the cliff top, watched as time ticked by, but there was still no sound of ropes moving below. They grew worried: "Chengyan, is it safe down there?"

"I don't know. I haven't gone down. Lord Xingce didn't let us go down. He just told us to stay up here and watch over the mistress. All we can do now is wait."

"We also need to keep a close watch on the area. We've almost killed off all of the Li family's hidden men, but we can't rule out the possibility that they still have people in the shadows who might be making a desperate attempt to attack our wife."
