Chapter 95: Good Man of Linfeng Kingdom
After the Gourd Man from the Tang Sect left in a hurry, Gu Yu could finally stop acting.
With his objective achieved, the next step was to see what the Gourd Man and his group would do!
He wondered if they could “find” Feng Xuanyuan…
However, his acting skills were truly amazing! If he were in modern times, he could be an actor in film and television! Tsk tsk, how could he be so capable! He admired himself so much, it was unbelievable. Truly… capable of both the drawing-room and the kitchen, well-read, skilled in medicine, good at making money, doting on his wife madly, with a great personality and superb acting skills! Gu Yu, the good man of Linfeng Kingdom!
“Young man, are you buying or not? You’ve been looking for a long time. If you’re not buying, move aside quickly and don’t obstruct my business.”
“Of course I’m buying. Make me a sugar figurine of a monkey stealing a peach.”
Just as Gu Yu was praising himself, the sugar figurine stall owner interrupted his self-admiration and asked if he wanted to buy a sugar figurine. If not, he should not stand there and block his business.
Upon hearing the stall owner’s words, Gu Yu’s thoughts quickly returned to the present. He immediately expressed his desire for a sugar figurine, intending to bring it back to make his younger brother-in-law happy. However, after a moment’s thought, Gu Yu ordered another sugar figurine of a cat fishing, planning to give it to Xia Tian as well. Although it was still in the review period, he couldn’t play favorites. Children liked such things, so Gu Yu was not stingy. Later, when he considered whether to buy a sugar figurine for his little wife, he hesitated for a while, but in the end, Gu Yu did not buy one for Gu Mengyao. Sugar figurines were for children to play with. For a girl of Gu Mengyao’s age, he should buy jewelry and makeup… Therefore, after visiting Xiangbao Zhai and browsing, Gu Yu bought quite a few pretty little jewelry pieces.
After buying all the necessary items, Gu Yu estimated the time, thinking that Gu Mengyao’s enthusiasm for practicing spear techniques should have passed by now. He then set off for home, preparing to go home for lunch. It was noon, and he hoped that Gu Mengyao wouldn’t forget lunch because she was too engrossed in practicing martial arts…
Fortunately, Gu Yu’s worries were unfounded. When he returned home, steaming hot meals were already served on the table by Gu Mengyao, which put Gu Yu at ease, thinking that he had been overthinking! No matter how much his little wife liked practicing martial arts, she wouldn’t neglect other things.
Xia Tian, sitting at the table, saw the smile on Gu Yu’s face and thought that Brother Gu hadn’t been there earlier, so he didn’t see… Sister Mengyao using a wooden stick as a spear, dancing in the courtyard with great vigor, her moves swift and powerful, which had mesmerized her! If Sister Mengyao were a man, she would have fallen in love with her at first sight! It was so cool! Thinking of these things made Xia Tian feel that the rice in her bowl was especially fragrant. She decided that she would also train with Sister Mengyao from now on, striving to improve her speed and use more methods to steal things from others.
Having decided to live with Gu Mengyao, Xia Tian knew she no longer had to live by stealing. Therefore, she was constantly practicing her hand skills, which would be useful in the future, so she wouldn’t be idle at home all day and become a parasite!
“Mengyao, I ran into people from the Tang Sect in town again today.”
“Again? The people from the Tang Sect are truly persistent! We just dealt with one group, and now another one has appeared… Will they come to our door?”
While eating, Gu Yu casually mentioned his previous encounter with the Tang Sect in the market. Upon hearing this, Gu Mengyao became furious. Why did these people always disturb their peaceful lives! After killing one, another would appear; this endless cycle would upset anyone. Although Gu Mengyao was not worried about the Tang Sect people coming to their door and harming the Gu family… with her here to protect them, no one in the family would be harmed! However, Gu Mengyao did not want to be constantly harassed and have her life thrown into chaos. So, was there no proper way to prevent the Tang Sect people from appearing before them again?
“No, I set up an illusion this time. When they didn’t know Feng Xuanyuan’s whereabouts, I directly gave them a wrong direction. Even if they searched, they wouldn’t find her, and in the end, they could only return to their sect to figure things out.”
“Phew! Hearing you say that, Ah Yu, I’m relieved! If I had known things would turn out this way, I shouldn’t have been soft-hearted and stopped on the mountain, letting you take on this big trouble.”
“It’s okay! After all, no one could have imagined that things would become so troublesome.”
Upon hearing that Gu Yu had led the Tang Sect people away, Gu Mengyao finally breathed a sigh of relief. But then she remembered that the trouble with the Tang Sect was also related to her, and she looked at Gu Yu with some apology, thinking that she should have just left as Gu Yu said back then! Then they wouldn’t always be sought out by people from the Tang Sect… However, Gu Yu comforted Gu Mengyao at this moment, telling her not to overthink. If the Tang Sect people came again… they would just kill them again!
Because he was paying attention to the movements of the Tang Sect people, Gu Yu often went to town in the following days. However, the Gourd Man who had questioned him that day was never seen in Lian Town again. Perhaps they had returned to their sect. They probably really thought Feng Xuanyuan had eloped with someone!
After a period of time, when Gu Yu no longer saw any Tang Sect people appearing, he informed Gu Mengyao, telling her not to worry anymore. At the same time, the sea eagle that had been kept in the spatial dimension was released and trained by Gu Mengyao, allowing it to quickly familiarize itself with the current environment. Thus, as time passed quickly, the Gu family encountered no more trouble and smoothly reached the end of the year.
[Gu Mengyao’s favorability +2000, congratulations on reaching the second stage of the spatial dimension (20/20), upgrade requires completing corresponding conditions.]
After such a long time, Gu Mengyao’s favorability had reached 2000. When books reappeared on the altar, they did not disappoint Gu Yu’s hopes, as a Medical Scripture (Advanced) indeed appeared. However, what followed were the conditions for the spatial dimension to upgrade to the third stage. The condition for the previous upgrade was to see his little wife’s naked body. Who knew what it would be this time…
[Requires achieving good things with Gu Mengyao, becoming a true couple.]
Upon seeing the condition for upgrading to the third stage, Gu Yu decisively chose to give up, thinking that this task would be impossible to complete in the next few years. Fortunately, the spatial dimension’s area was already very large, so it didn’t matter much even if it didn’t upgrade. Gu Yu had decided to wait for Gu Mengyao to grow up, so he wouldn’t overthink useless things when she was still young… As for the spatial dimension, he could only wait a few more years to upgrade.
“Ah Yu, are we going to the capital for the New Year again this time?”
“Yes, Father-in-law has not seen you and Qingheng for a long time and misses you dearly… By the way, I also need to check on Chengfeng Shan’s business.” Gu Yu was looking at the Medical Scripture (Advanced) in his hand. When he heard Gu Mengyao’s words, he withdrew his gaze from the book and looked at Gu Mengyao, who looked dejected. The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curve upwards. Unknowingly, another year had passed. In a little more time, he would be fourteen, and Gu Mengyao would reach the age of fifteen for her hairpin ceremony. However, Gu Mengyao was not thinking much about it now, only feeling conflicted about going to the capital for the New Year. She sat beside Gu Yu, propping her chin with both hands, her big eyes looking at Gu Yu, the words “don’t want to go” clearly displayed on her face, leaving Gu Yu unsure of what to say.
Gu Yu knew Gu Mengyao’s intentions. She wanted the family to stay in Yang Family Village and celebrate the New Year properly, not wanting to go to the capital again, as it was too troublesome to travel back and forth. However, Gu Yu thought about the sudden increase in letters recently. If his wife and younger brother-in-law didn’t go to the capital, he would be in trouble the next time he saw his father-in-law, Gu Qing! Therefore, Gu Yu agreed to go to the capital for the New Year, and he could also meet his business partner, Chengfeng Shan, to discuss business matters in detail. He had been a completely hands-off boss, which made Gu Yu feel a little guilty. Of course, the most important thing was that Gu Yu wanted to see how much Chengfeng Shan had earned…
“What, Mengyao, don’t you want to visit Father-in-law in the capital?”
“It’s not that I don’t want to. It’s just that something bad always happens every time we go to the capital, which makes me a little scared now.”
“Don’t worry. We’ll be staying at Father-in-law’s house for a while during the New Year, so you won’t have to cook every day. Afterwards, we can go sightseeing in the capital and see the snow scenery or something.”
Afterwards, when Gu Yu curiously asked Gu Mengyao, Gu Mengyao finally revealed the reason why she didn’t want to go to the capital. Upon hearing the reason, Gu Yu thought that it was indeed the case and it was no wonder Gu Mengyao thought that way. However, it was not a big problem. Adapt to circumstances as they arise, and there was no need to worry too much. Instead, Gu Yu was thinking of taking his little wife to visit places in the capital and admire the snow scenery, although they could see snow scenery from home, it was too vast and open. The exquisite pavilions and towers of the capital would be more aesthetically pleasing. Moreover, during this period, Gu Mengyao would not have to cook in winter, allowing her to rest well.
“Alright! Then we’ll go to the capital. Should we prepare anything now?”
“We just need to pack some clothes. I believe Xing Zhi will be sent by Father-in-law to pick us up soon.”
Afterwards, Gu Mengyao did not stubbornly disagree. After listening to Gu Yu’s words, Gu Mengyao felt a hint of anticipation, thinking that perhaps she was being too cautious. The capital was not entirely troublesome; it had many other advantages. After Gu Mengyao agreed to go to the capital, she immediately thought that since the end of the year was approaching, if they wanted to go to the capital, they had to pack their things and set off as soon as possible, otherwise, they would miss it. However, Gu Yu indicated that there was no need to rush. Father-in-law had already made all the arrangements. They only needed to take a carriage to the capital. Thinking about it this way, having a father-in-law like Gu Qing was really great! They didn’t have to do anything, and everything had already been prepared in advance. However, they would need to prepare the New Year gifts.
