Chapter 145

Chapter 145 - Your Husband Is also Very Satisfied

Yu Xuezhong listened in astonishment to Teng Yu's explanation. Teng Yu's detailed suggestions on the construction of the weapon factory left him increasingly impressed as he listened.

The Third Prince wasn't even twenty years old yet, but his vision and planning were more meticulous than many older individuals. Additionally, his cautious nature made future concerns seem unwarranted.

“Your Highness has thoroughly considered everything. What would you have me do?”

“Lord Yu, you don't need to do anything special. Just provide some cover for Guo Yashan.”

“That bandit...”

“Let's report this to the lord first. The bandit will certainly still be around, but I guarantee that no one will fall victim to the bandit's blade!”

Yu Xuezhong took a sharp breath, understanding that this was the best way to keep the matter secret.

“Understood. Rest assured.”

Teng Yu knew that with Yu Xuezhong's disposition, accepting this level of arrangement was already his limit.

“By the way, when I returned to the city today, the atmosphere felt different. What happened?” Teng Yu recalled the unusual behavior of the people on the streets and was curious.

Yu Xuezhong sighed, “It's strange. In the past few days, many martial artists have arrived in Hui State. These people have volatile tempers and can easily harm others. The yamen has received over ten reports daily. More importantly, these people don't follow orders and disregard the law entirely!”

Teng Yu could empathize with the difficulties. People in the martial arts world were known for their unrestrained behavior, often being self-centered.

However, these individuals had formidable martial arts skills, making them difficult for ordinary officials to handle.

“I wonder why they are here?”

A large group of martial artists suddenly appearing was certainly not a good sign.

Teng Yu knew that the martial arts world had its factions, sects, and even alliances like the Martial Union. These people usually roamed the world, so their sudden gathering indicated an ulterior motive.

“This official doesn't know yet, but I've already sent people to investigate. I believe we will have news soon.” Yu Xuezhong's pace was not as swift as Teng Yu's. As he and Yin Xu left the Prefectural Government, Han Qing reported on the matter.

After boarding the carriage, Teng Yu cradled the exhausted Yin Xu, allowing him to rest on his chest. He then asked Han Qing, “Tell me, what exactly happened?”

This time, Han Qing did not accompany him to Guo Yanshan but stayed in the city to closely monitor the activities of the officials on the list.

Yu Xuezhong had given him the list because he knew there was something wrong with those people. However, it was Teng Yu's men who needed to investigate their supporters.

It truly deserved to be called the most favored cultivation technique among Demonic Cultivators; there was no need for strenuous practice with such a more relaxed and enjoyable method. If not for the time constraints of Dual Cultivation, Yin Xu would gladly practice it daily.

Teng Yu stroked his sweat-drenched back, “I promised Royal Father that I would return to the capital in ten days. There are still seven days left. Do you want to participate in this Martial Arts Competition?”

Yin Xu narrowed his eyes and shifted his upper body onto Teng Yu's. He rubbed his head against his shoulder, finding a comfortable spot on the bed. “It should be enough; those martial artists shouldn't be that incompetent, right?”

“It's not that simple. But we can assist secretly. If you want to visit the Evil Sect, your husband will fulfill your wish no matter what.”

Yin Xu chuckled, wrapping his arms around Teng Yu's neck, “Your husband is very accommodating!”

Teng Yu's hand slid down his back, grabbing his lips and pinching them, “Isn't it clear who is the husband and who is the wife?”

The next day, the two of them slept until noon before getting up. As Yin Xu finished dressing, he saw Wang Ren walk in with a water basin and towel, looking straight ahead as he placed the towel on the shelf.

Yin Xu was surprised by his actions. He hadn't asked Wang Ren to do these things, nor had he taught him how.

“Why are you being so obedient today?”

Wang Ren looked up at him and answered coldly, “Reward!”

“Hmm?” Yin Xu sized him up once, then smiled, “Looks like you finally understand that you've been freeloading these past few days. Not bad, not bad.”

Wang Ren awkwardly held his hands. He wasn't truly an idiot; he had just been out of touch with society for a long time. After a few days of recuperation, he gradually understood his situation.

Although he still disliked being an attendant, it was a fact that Yin Xu had saved him, and he had nowhere else to go. With his parents dead and no elders to rely on, he had probably changed hands long ago.

Moreover, with his current condition, it was impossible for him to accomplish anything significant. Living like a normal person in the future would be a great outcome.

“Thank you for saving my life.” This was the first time Wang Ren spoke to Yin Xu in such a normal tone.

“I will definitely thank you, but just words aren't enough. What I want is practical action, but... with your ghastly appearance, the only useful place for you is my pharmacy.”

Wang Ren, being young, only thought he was going to help out at the pharmacy and didn't show much emotion.

Yin Xu laughed, walked over, and lifted his sharp chin. With a thought, he caressed his dull skin and said, “You will definitely be very surprised.”

“Cough, cough...” Teng Yu coughed twice on the side, his gaze fixed on the hand Yin Xu had placed on Wang Ren's face.

Yin Xu turned his head to look at him, smiling brightly, “Is your throat uncomfortable? The leftmost medicine bottle in the cupboard, don't forget to take it.”

Teng Yu's expression turned cold. That bottle was poisonous; don't think he didn't know. He snorted and turned his head, muttering, “You're going to murder your own husband, incredible!”

Yin Xu's ears were sharp; he could clearly hear what Teng Yu was saying and revealed a sinister smile, “Don't think that I won't dare!”
