Chapter 106: I will conquer you
After the commotion at the ‘Exotic Charm’ Opera House, government officials quickly arrived, preparing to seal off the scene and investigate each person.
Coincidentally, Maoyuan Tang’s father, Yaowen Tang, the Vice Minister of Dali Temple, also arrived. Ostensibly, he came to assist the government in clarifying the situation, but in reality, he directly grabbed Maoyuan Tang by the ear and dragged him away, leaving Chengfeng Shan and Gu Yu to exchange bewildered glances.
“Brother Shan, Brother Tang is so old, is he still managed by his father?”
“Alas! Yes! Uncle Tang insists on establishing a career before settling down, which has led Brother Tang to be single for many years, and he still hasn’t found a wife! Moreover, if this continues, I estimate that if Brother Tang can get married before he’s thirty, it will be a blessing from heaven.”
“…”
In the private room, after Maoyuan Tang was taken away, Gu Yu looked at Chengfeng Shan with confusion, thinking it was quite embarrassing that Maoyuan Tang, at his age, was still being led away by his father with his ear twisted.
After hearing Chengfeng Shan’s words, Gu Yu felt even more sympathetic towards Maoyuan Tang…
“Brother Gu, the government officials are here now, shouldn’t we be leaving?”
Then, Chengfeng Shan opened his folding fan with a ‘swish,’ and looking at the chaos outside the private room, he inquired if it was time to leave.
This time to the opera house, besides experiencing the “Purple-eyed Fairy’s”柔术 dance, they didn’t see anything else.
Perhaps only those directly involved could secretly compete.
As for others, they couldn’t understand at all…
So it’s best to go home quickly, lest they be targeted by the government… Perhaps it was a subconscious reaction of a seasoned merchant, Chengfeng Shan didn’t want to get involved with government officials, as that would be very troublesome.
Sometimes, the crises encountered in business do not come from suppliers, customers, or competitors, but from those blood-sucking leeches in the government.
The constant interception at every turn led to very little profit in the end.
But once encountered, apart from paying money, there was nothing else that could be done.
Otherwise, once falsely accused, they would never be able to clear their names.
This was also why Chengfeng Shan, although he interacted with government officials, did not maintain close relationships with them. With that money, he might as well interact with people of higher official ranks to gain greater benefits.
However, even though it’s easy to deal with King Yama, it’s difficult to deal with minor devils, and they couldn’t directly fall out with them.
As the saying goes, harmony brings wealth!
“Wait, the Purple-eyed Fairy hasn’t appeared yet!”
“???”
However, Gu Yu did not want to leave so early.
It would be too much of a pity to leave when the main show hadn’t even started.
“You are Gu Yu?”
Just as Gu Yu finished speaking, the door of the private room was pushed open. To his surprise, the Saintess of the Holy Cult could speak the language of Linfeng Kingdom, which was quite astonishing.
Gu Yu had thought that the Saintess would only speak English!
“What advice do you have for me?”
“Hmph, you have a good appearance, but unfortunately, your life will not last long.”
As the Saintess spoke, her pair of purple eyes glared fiercely, and after hearing the reply, the purple in her eyes flickered like ripples on water.
However, Gu Yu was a little confused.
Didn’t this Saintess of the Holy Cult come looking for him?
Why was she speaking to Mengyao Gu now???
Gu Yu stood in place with a question mark on his face, watching the Saintess close the door with her back to him, then walk towards Mengyao Gu. She stopped in front of her and then uttered the dialogue above.
Mengyao Gu was stunned at first, then responded quite smoothly. Instead of clarifying that she was not Gu Yu, she scoffed like Gu Yu and engaged the Saintess in conversation.
“My life is not for others to control. And you, even less so.”
“Hmph.”
When words fail, little need be said. After the Saintess narrowed her eyes slightly, she made the first move. A cold, gleaming blade flew out from her sleeve, directly towards Mengyao Gu’s chest.
At the same time, the Saintess’s body lunged towards Mengyao Gu, her left hand, which had already been replaced with a spiked glove, ferociously swung towards Mengyao Gu’s face, each move ruthless.
The attacks were either aimed at the chest or intended to disfigure her. Gu Yu, watching from the side, was terrified, thinking that if it were him, and he couldn’t enter his space, he would surely be finished.
But, when it came to Mengyao Gu…
Mengyao Gu showed no panic. She moved a few steps to the left and successfully dodged the blade. Then, instead of retreating, she moved forward. As the spiked glove swung towards her, she directly raised a hand and grabbed the Saintess’s wrist. The immense strength rendered the Saintess unable to move an inch.
Then, Mengyao Gu’s other hand tightly gripped the Saintess’s neck. She spun around rapidly, and after changing positions, Mengyao Gu’s footwork did not stop. She directly pushed the Saintess to the wall.
A faint smile played on her handsome face, and her devilishly charming and wild gaze made one’s heart skip a beat.
Gu Yu seemed to witness a scene of a domineering CEO passionately in love, which immediately caused many pink bubbles to rise in his heart, thinking how cool his wife was!
He wished he could be treated like this by his wife!
“You man…”
“Sorry, I’m not Gu Yu.”
When facing Mengyao Gu’s ‘wall slam,’ the Saintess’s expression was stunned. Then, as a look of anger appeared, Mengyao Gu, with a helplessly resigned expression, informed the Saintess that she had the wrong person.
Upon hearing Mengyao Gu’s words, the Saintess’s eyes widened in shock.
According to the information she received, Gu Yu had a good appearance, and in this private room, only Mengyao Gu’s appearance was the most outstanding.
As for others…
That effeminate-looking person was not bad either, but unfortunately, she was a woman disguised as a man…
According to the information gathered, Gu Yu was already married, and his wife was named Mengyao Gu.
“Yes, I am Gu Yu, you have the wrong person!”
After hearing Mengyao Gu speak, Gu Yu quickly followed suit and directly stated that he was Gu Yu.
Gu Yu even pointed to the mole near his eye.
Seeing this, the Saintess was naturally furious, thinking how muddled she had been to mistake the target.
No wonder this man’s martial arts were so high.
And the irresistible strength…
“Open the door, open the door, we are government officials…”
Just then, a voice sounded from outside the door, and the door panel began to tremble. Hearing this, the Saintess’s eyes flashed with resentment, and then she quietly took out a small ball from her hand and threw it fiercely onto the ground.
Instantly, white smoke rose, and Mengyao Gu felt her palm, which was gripping the Saintess’s neck, slip. The next second, she lost control of the Saintess.
“We will meet again, and then, I will conquer you.”
As the Saintess’s voice echoed in Mengyao Gu’s ears, Mengyao Gu couldn’t help but frown. Then, a hand suddenly reached out towards her.
“Oops, wife, wife, it’s me!!!”
Just as Mengyao Gu instinctively grabbed the other person’s arm and forcefully pushed it down, Gu Yu’s voice suddenly rang out. Upon hearing it, Mengyao Gu quickly let go.
At this moment, the door of the private room was also kicked open by the guards, and the smoke quickly dispersed.
By the time the smoke completely cleared, the Saintess had already disappeared.
“Yu, are you alright!”
“I’m fine, I’m fine.”
Mengyao Gu ignored whether the Saintess had escaped and quickly walked over to Gu Yu, reaching out to help him up, as he hadn’t recovered yet, and checked if he was alright.
Gu Yu’s sudden approach made Mengyao Gu think it was the Saintess, so she used slightly more force…
As Mengyao Gu became a little anxious, Gu Yu waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that he was fine and that she didn’t need to worry!
However, Gu Yu felt his numb arm, thinking how strong his wife’s grip was!
No wonder she could kill a tiger with one punch.
When the Saintess threw the smoke bomb just now, Gu Yu, worried about Mengyao Gu’s safety, didn’t think much before rushing over.
Unexpectedly, he ended up suffering himself.
Fortunately, Mengyao Gu was not harmed.
After that, with Chengfeng Shan’s intervention, the guards quickly left the scene and went to check other private rooms.
Gu Yu and the others didn’t linger and left the opera house directly, each returning to their respective homes.
“Yu, are we just leaving like this? I feel like we didn’t do anything this time we came to the opera house?”
“How can you say that? We did quite a lot! Most importantly… we finally drove away those Westerners from the opera house.”
“???”
As Mengyao Gu and Gu Yu got into the carriage back home, Mengyao Gu asked doubtfully about what they had gained from this trip.
Apart from causing a disturbance at the opera house, there was nothing else.
But Gu Yu shook his head at Mengyao Gu, indicating that the mess had finally been resolved, and he could be liberated.
“This time, the opera house even sent out their Saintess, all to break the rumors in the capital and prove that Western women do not carry contagious diseases. But after we arrived, I had Xi Yang sprinkle weakness medicinal powder everywhere, which has already substantiated the rumors. The Holy Cult has no chance to turn the tables and can only accept the fact of their defeat.”
“Is that so…”
“Yes, which is why the Saintess came to settle accounts with me in a rage, because I completely disrupted her plan, and it’s now irreversible.”
Sitting in the swaying carriage, Gu Yu was in a very good mood.
Resolving the mess thrown by the alliance meant that he and Mengyao Gu could return on time and would not be delayed, staying in the capital.
“Yu, let’s not come to the capital next time! I feel like every time we come, nothing good happens.”
“Mengyao, don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater! At least by coming here, you can visit your father-in-law and Auntie Fei, and it’s not so boring to always stay in the village.”
“If we always encounter trouble, I’d rather not come to the capital.”
“Alright, after we go back this time, we won’t come anymore. We’ll come again when you want to.”
After Mengyao Gu sighed, her words clearly showed her disappointment with the capital once again.
Gu Yu, unable to persuade her, had no choice but to agree, saying they wouldn’t come to the capital anymore.
However, Gu Yu felt that their family would probably have to come to the capital frequently, and even settle here.
After all, after his younger brother-in-law goes through the imperial examination, he will come to the capital to be an official. If he were to come alone, Mengyao Gu would definitely worry terribly.
Even if Gu Qing were in the capital, Mengyao Gu would still worry.
At that time, they would definitely visit the capital frequently.
