Chapter 68: The End of the Melody, People Disperse and Part Ways

  "Halt!" I bellowed, and the three of them were instantly startled, turning to look at me with my temples bulging.

  "Master! I was just going to help you get the supplies, do you have to be so fierce?!" Qin Yao said with a wronged expression, her eyes welling up with tears.

  "Never mind! It's my fault, I shouldn't have spoken so loudly. Is that okay?" I said weakly. "You take a closer look first, Miss Shifu is injured, not what you think, do you understand?"

  "Ah!" Qin Yao was startled and walked closer. It seemed to be the case, so her face suddenly turned bright red with shame.

  "Go help the young lady from the Gu's family bring some congee up!" I ordered and Qin Yao left.

  "Master, Yao'er sister is really..." Fu Junzhu laughed all the way.

  "Cough, cough..." I dryly coughed without responding to Fu Junzhuo, and turned my head to say to Shi Feixiao: "Shi, your injuries are no longer severe, now you just need to rest for a while!"

  "Thanks for your trouble!" Shi Fei said lightly, nodding her hands slightly, seemingly still holding a grudge from yesterday.

  "Hey! Someone has picked up the frame." Fu Jun saw Shi Fei Xuan's words and couldn't help but sneer again.

  Shi Fei Xuan listened but didn't even glance at her, and Fu Jun Jue felt bored and stopped talking.

  After a while, Qin Yao brought up the dishes and the three of them ate slowly. After finishing their meal, Shifu Qi was about to bid farewell and leave.

  "Shouldn't you rest for a while before leaving?" I asked with concern.

  "A few injuries, but today there aren't many people who can hurt me! Those who can also know their place and won't take action against me." Shī Fēi said calmly, her words seeming to carry a hint of complaint about my actions.

  I listened to her words and could only pretend not to know, "If Shifu Niang wants to make further progress, she can ask her master for the 'Ci Hang Jian Dian', perhaps after practicing it, there will be great improvement."

  "'The Ci Hang Jian Dian'? I've never heard Master mention it before." Shi Fei Xuan asked in puzzlement.

  It's not her fault, the reason why "Ci Hang Jian Dian" appeared is because the evil king Shi Zhen Xuan wanted to destroy "Ci Hang Jing Zhai", and Fan Qing Hui used "Ci Hang Jian Dian" to stop the evil king, but Fan Qing Hui was not strong enough and ended up defeated. As the supreme art of "Ci Hang Jing Zhai", only the next master has the opportunity to learn it, while Shi Fei Xiao as the successor of Jing Zhai, also has the chance to learn it.

  "Master's sister, please ask your master and you will know! The Longevity Formula is in my hands, Master's sister, please be at ease. If Master's sister wants anything, she can come to me for it, as long as she has the ability to take it from my hands." I said this to make it clear that I wouldn't let the Longevity Formula out to disturb the Jianghu, and also to put her mind at rest. Otherwise, she would be coming every day, but I don't have so much free time to accompany her in play.

  But I was talking with Shi Fei Xuan on one side, while Qin Yao and Fu Jun Ruo were chatting on the other side.

  "Jie'er's sister, I think this Shigu Niang is not inferior to you and Feng'er in terms of appearance, and she also has a certain aura about her. It seems that the two of your positions are no longer secure!" Qin Yao said with a smile.

  "Yao'er sister, what about you? Isn't Jiancheng brother yours?" Fu Junruo smiled and counterattacked.

  "It's been so long, yet the young master won't even touch her. Instead, he had you eaten first, Bao'er sister." Qin Yao said with a hint of resentment.

  "Oh no, Elder Sister Yao!" Fu Junzhu said with a blush.

  "Hmph, I won't tease you anymore. By the way, tell me how this Shifu girl appeared?" Qin Yao teased for a bit before stopping, then asked about Shifu Fei's news.

  Fu Jun then recounted the events of last night, and Qin Yao listened intently, even gesturing with her hands and feet at the exciting parts.

  "So it was like that! Did Young Master do that last move on purpose?" Qin Yao asked with a blink of her eyes.

  "Really? Brother Jiancheng doesn't seem like that kind of person?" Fu Junzhu said hesitantly, the last coincidence was really too coincidental, no wonder it made people suspicious.

  "It's also true! For so long, Master has not made a move on any other woman except you. Speaking of which, sister Bao is also very fortunate!" Qin Yao complained again.

  Fu Junzhu was also very happy, as my first woman, she is worthy of pride. In a big family like mine, someone as old as me has never been with a woman, which is rare. Unless they are impotent or extremely chivalrous. And whether I can hold up has already been proven, so it can only be said that my moral character is very good.

  "Never mind, let's not talk about this anymore! It seems that Shifu is going to leave." Qin Yao shook her head and threw these thoughts away.

  ……

  "Take care on your way, and watch out for your health!" I said with concern.

  "Thank you for your concern, I will come back to seek your guidance when I have achieved something." With that, Master Feng Huan floated away from the window, just as effortlessly as she had arrived.

  "Tsk, tsk! Young master, everyone has left, don't look anymore!" Qin Yao's voice sounded beside me. Although the two of them were talking on the side just now, I heard every word clearly. Having been with Qin Yao for so long, it's impossible to not have feelings, and if it was just a simple servant relationship, she wouldn't be able to interfere in my emotional affairs either. Besides, Feng'er, this future daughter-in-law, also agreed to let her enter the household, so I naturally had nothing to say. In my previous life, I was a "five-good youth", law-abiding and firmly supporting monogamy, but coming to this era now, is it possible?

  It's not that I've changed in different eras. You have to think about how the current era is different from the past, where the male-to-female ratio was 108:100, but this era, due to war, has only 50:100. With such a huge loss, you want to implement monogamy? What about the remaining women? Should they be left to grow old alone? It's not that people are like that, it's just the demands of the times. Only when my wishes are fulfilled, when the country is unified and the people live in peace, will the population increase, and only then can all systems be implemented. Since we can't have monogamy, I'll let those who are with me live a happier life. If everyone doesn't have feelings for each other, how can they live together? Of course, it's not ruled out that some people use improper means, but how many people are like that?

  These thoughts just flashed by. Upon hearing Qin Yao's words, I suddenly remembered something and sneered at her: "Heh heh..."

  "Shao, young master... what do you want to do?" Qin Yao put on a frightened expression, and the two of us looked like a ruffian trying to bully a young girl. Fu Junzhu watched from the side with amusement, wondering how we could both be so ridiculous.

  "Yao'er, what did you tell Wei yesterday? Why is she so afraid of me?" I asked casually.

  "Oh, I just..." Qin Yao was about to say when she suddenly remembered. She then shouted: "I don't know anything!" and ran away.

  "Hmm..." As soon as Qin Yao ran off, I stared at Fu Junru with a sly smile. "Junru, do you know?"

  "I don't know, I really don't know!" Fu Junzhu shouted with her hands clasped over her chest.

  "If you don't tell me what's going on next, I won't guarantee anything!" I said with a sly smile as I walked towards her.

  "Alright, alright! I said so." Fu Junzhu couldn't resist me and finally decided to betray and surrender to me: "Yao'er sister told Wei sister that 'our young master has no shortcomings except for being a bit of a ladies' man'" She said and then stared at me steadily.

  I'm bleeding! My lifelong reputation has been ruined by her! It seems I need to find an opportunity to teach her a lesson, can't let her ruin my reputation completely!

  After dinner in the evening, I had Qin Yao and Wei Zhenzhen come to my room.

  "Yao'er, Young Master and I will be leaving soon, and the safety of Zhenzhen will be left to you. You must take responsibility and find me if anything happens, do you understand?" I instructed seriously, worried that once I leave, she might follow us too, then who would take care of Wei Zhenzhen?

  "Master, I understand! I will definitely protect Sister Jingjing with my life, even if I get hurt myself, I won't let her get hurt. Is that okay?" Qin Yao said with a hint of grievance, as if she didn't see me being so concerned about her.

  "Alright! Don't look at me like that, once you've completed your task, you can continue to stay by my side, for the rest of your life, how about it?" My words already contained a promise. I believe she will understand.

  As expected, she smiled and said: "Young master, you said that I have to stay by your side for the rest of my life, no regrets! Both Bao'er sister and Zhenzhen sister can be witnesses."

  "Master, after I've mastered the art of being a lady, can I also stay by your side?" Wei Zhenzhen asked weakly.

  "Cough, cough..." I was greatly annoyed by her words, what was she trying to stir up again? Besides, this wasn't something that could be explained clearly in a short time. So I said to her: "Qingqing, don't rush, first master your medical skills, there will be opportunities later." I spoke ambiguously.

  "Yes! Jingjing will work hard to study medicine and won't disappoint Master's expectations!" Wei Zhenzhen said with a determined face.

  "Master, people will miss you." Qin Yao said with tears in her eyes.

  "Alright, young master will come visit you when he has a chance." I comforted them by saying.

  Qin Yao and Wei Zhenzhen waved goodbye, then pulled Fu Junru's hand, and the two of them floated out of the window...
