The burly man roared, "Have you ever heard of me, Ou Peng?"

Cheng Lie said, "As expected, it's you guys. You still dare to be so arrogant in Jiangning."

Ou Peng raised the iron spear in his hand: "I'm just trying to make a living. Anyone who gets in my way will have their whole family killed. I know your surname is Cheng. Will you release him or not?"

Cheng Lie frowned, his face contorted with rage, and chuckled coldly. The disciples of the Hundred Blades Alliance realized that their helper had truly angered them.

"Kill these damned bastards!"

Cheng Lie brandished his broadsword and charged at Ou Peng first.

Ma Lin was suddenly without an opponent. Seeing that Su Tan'er, Li Mu, and the few young girls seemed to be ordinary people or important figures, he grinned ferociously and charged towards them like a madman, carrying a knife.

Looking at the so-called Liangshan heroes in front of him, Li Mu turned to Su Tan'er and said, "Your internal strength and swordsmanship have a foundation, you just need real combat experience. Do you want to give it a try? I'll back you up."

Su Tan'er took a deep breath, looked at Ma Lin who had just knocked away two Hundred Blade Alliance disciples and was charging over, gripped the sword in her hand, and nodded, "Alright!"

Having said that, he drew his sword and charged forward.

Although Su Tan'er's physical condition was a bit poor, she had already mastered the basics of internal energy, movement techniques, and swordsmanship. When she unleashed them, the arena was filled with flashing sword light.

At first, Su Tan'er was a little hesitant, but after exchanging a dozen or so moves, she realized that Ma Lin's martial arts were nothing special, and the power of the Jade Maiden Heart Sword gradually became apparent.

Ma Lin had never seen such a powerful sword technique before. Even in this world, such a powerful sword technique was rarely seen. For a moment, he was inevitably flustered and confused.

Su Tan'er grew more and more confident as she fought, and her swordsmanship became increasingly fierce. Ma Lin was already seriously injured, and in a moment, a sword pierced through his thigh. He screamed and fell to the ground, where he was firmly bound by two disciples of the Hundred Blades Alliance.

If Su Tan'er hadn't considered that he would be interrogated later, he would have lost his life.

On the other side, Ou Peng was also at a disadvantage and in increasing danger. A man named Jiang Jing rushed over, wanting to join forces with Ou Peng. He was itching to fight and was eager to try. He glanced at Li Mu, got permission, and charged forward again with his sword.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Jiang Jing was captured, and on the other side, Ou Peng was beheaded by Cheng Lie with a single blow. Most of the other thieves were also cut down, leaving only the cleanup work to be done.

This great battle has finally come to an end.

Chapter 618 A Quick Way to Become a Heroine

The weather in mid-October was already a bit chilly. There had been so much going on these past two days. First, there was the clan meeting, where I had to deal with all sorts of people and was incredibly busy. Then there was last night's bloody battle.

Thanks to Su Tan'er's arrival and her impressive combat skills, none of the leaders managed to escape; they were all left behind, either captured or killed.

In the end, only a few low-level henchmen were able to escape.

In order to eliminate them completely and leave no future trouble, the Hundred Blades Alliance has dispatched a large number of people to investigate and hunt them down.

The matter of Su Boyong's assassination has now come to an end.

As for Xi Junyu, only death awaits him. Su Tan'er sighed at this. Xi Junyu used to be her capable assistant, and even earlier, he had taught her how to do business. The two could be considered both teacher and friend.

However, no one could have imagined that such a seemingly kind person would collude with outsiders to become an insider in the Su family and steal the Su family's technology; if that were all, it could be explained as being driven by self-interest and unable to resist temptation.

However, he still went so far as to collude with outside forces to assassinate Su Boyong. Although the attempt failed, the nature of the crime had changed, and he had become mortal enemies with the Su family.

The Su family naturally couldn't let such a person go, lest they leave behind future troubles.

Early in the morning, the Su family mansion awoke from its slumber and gradually began to stir. Li Mu stretched lazily.

Su Tan'er was sleeping soundly beside him. Last night was her first time killing someone, and Su Tan'er was still feeling lingering fear after the initial excitement. She couldn't fall asleep in the middle of the night, so Li Mu could only accompany her to practice the Great Harmony of Yin and Yang several times before she finally fell into a deep sleep from exhaustion.

Without disturbing her, Li Mu quietly got dressed and went downstairs. He practiced his swordplay for a while and did a set of boxing exercises. Several young maids had already gotten up.

However, it was probably the first time they had seen such a bloody scene yesterday, so they were all quite frightened and their spirits were not very high.

After finishing his morning exercise, Li Mu sheathed his sword and returned to his room. His maid, Xiao Chan, came over with a basin of warm water. She was wearing a thin pink jacket, her hair was not properly styled, and her face was a little pale.

"Son-in-law, some warm water that's just been boiled..."

Li Mu didn't speak, but placed a hand on the little maid's forehead.

The little girl blinked: "Young master, what's wrong?"

Li Mu flicked her forehead: "You're asking what's wrong? You didn't even know you caught a cold. Stop bothering me, go back to your room and rest. I'll call a doctor over later and get some medicine."

Xiao Chan reached out and touched her forehead to test it. After a while, she muttered to herself, "Since Xiao Chan started practicing the Pine Crane Fist Manual taught by her son-in-law, she hasn't been sick for a long time."

"I felt a bit lazy and listless this morning, and it turns out I caught a cold."

"However, Xiao Chan feels very well now and is fine."

Li Mu smiled and shook his head: "I know you're healthy and have a strong constitution. If you're sick, you should rest. Go on!"

Xiao Chan explained softly, "But... I still have things to do, and I don't have anything to do right now anyway."

Li Mu glared at her: "You're still not alright? Look at your face now. Go and rest, and don't talk back."

The little girl gave a wronged "hmm" and pouted, "Young master, I'm not a child anymore."

……

After Li Mu finished breakfast, he read a book in the study for a while. Su Tan'er walked over sleepily. She was wearing a white shirt and trousers with two small yellow flowers on the white silk trouser legs. She wore moon-white embroidered shoes and was dressed in her pajamas. She also had a long coat draped over her shoulders.

She walked up to Li Mu, gently hugged him, pressed her head against his chest, and whispered, "Husband!"

Li Mu reached out and embraced her slender waist: "My wife!"

After a while, Su Tan'er stood up, straightened her clothes, and looked around: "Husband, where are Xiao Chan and the others?"

Li Mu said, "Xiao Chan probably didn't rest well last night and caught a cold. I sent her back to rest. Juan'er and Xing'er have probably gone to get medicine from the doctor."

Su Tan'er nodded. She had also been unable to sleep in the middle of the night yesterday. If it weren't for her husband, she might have ended up like Xiao Chan and the others.

"Then let them rest today."

Li Mu nodded and said, "Yes! You will be taking over the Wu family's businesses and the businesses managed by the old man. There will probably be even more to do, so you should also take care to rest."

Su Tan'er nodded: "Don't worry, my husband, I understand. I also know martial arts now and am a chivalrous woman. My body is not that weak."

Li Mu laughed and gently put his arm around her waist, saying, "Is she really that good? Let's try again tonight. No begging for mercy."

Su Tan'er blushed and glared at Li Mu: "Husband...you have no shame."

Then she whispered, "Tan'er has already spoken with Xiao Chan. Husband will take her into his room when he has time... Although Tan'er can't handle Husband alone, Xiao Chan will help."

Li Mu rubbed his forehead and said, "Xiao Chan is too young. Let's wait another two years!"

Su Tan'er said, "Xiao Chan is already sixteen this year, not young anymore. Does my husband prefer older women...?"

Li Mu was speechless.

Su Tan'er, however, appeared quite magnanimous: "With your talent and martial arts skills, you are worthy of any woman in the world. I am not at ease knowing that you are marrying into my family. It should be me who marries you."

"With your abilities, sir, you should be able to accomplish great things. However, you are now held back by your status as a live-in son-in-law. You don't need to worry. Tan'er can inform her father and grandfather and ask them to renew the marriage certificate. Tan'er will marry you."

Just as Li Mu was about to say something, Su Tan'er continued, "Husband, what I'm telling you today is from the bottom of my heart."

“My husband is a man of great ability and should not be bound by it. If my husband has such amazing abilities but only spends them at the academy and lives a leisurely life because of Tan’er, Tan’er will feel uneasy and feel sorry for my husband.”

As she spoke, Su Tan'er paused and said, "Husband, the reason I'm saying all this today is that I don't want you to suffer for me and be unable to realize your ambitions."

"If you want to do something, or have any ambitions, just do it. Whether you need money or manpower, if you need it, Tan'er will definitely support you with all her might."

"Even if my husband falls in love with a woman from another family or takes a fancy to a courtesan in a brothel, Tan'er will be jealous, but she will try her best to be tolerant of them. Tan'er has always been very broad-minded."

"However, there is one thing you must remember, my husband. Tan'er is the one you married through proper channels. She is your legal wife. Others can only be concubines, or at most secondary wives. Tan'er is the mistress of the house."

"Otherwise, Tan'er is also very capable; she can show those vixens outside what she's made of..."

Li Mu opened his mouth and gently hugged her. It took a lot of courage for Su Tan'er to say these words. Even in ancient times, how many women were so magnanimous as to tell their men to go out and find other women?

……

A few more days passed, the chaos gradually subsided, and everything returned to normal. Li Mu was relaxed again, somewhat the same as before, yet also somewhat different.

For example, every time I returned to the Su residence, there were more people greeting me along the way, they were more enthusiastic, there were more invitations from family members, and there were more things I had to refuse.

Outside, recently, there have been many more people coming to visit Yushan Academy, and many more invitations have been extended. For example, Puyang Yi from the Puyang family invited him to a party on a certain painted boat a few days ago, with Miss Qilan accompanying him, and so on.

Such examples are too numerous to list, but as usual, Li Mu declined most of them.

His leisurely pace was now punctuated by a bit of noise, while Su Tan'er was becoming increasingly busy. The business of the eldest branch of the family was doing better, with Su Boyong overseeing it. Although the things handed over by Old Master Su and those from the Wu family were now in Su Tan'er's hands, she still had to sort them out one by one.

These industries are not located in one place. Although Jiangning has the most, most of them are distributed in the surrounding prefectures and cities. It requires traveling around and inspecting various places. In particular, for the industries handed over by the Wu family, it is necessary to arrange the heads, managers, and stewards in various prefectures and cities and arrange various personnel. For a while, he was very busy.

Li Mu couldn't offer much help, so he could only ask Su Tan'er to bring along the young maids. These maids were quite capable and were being trained as Su Tan'er's assistants.

That day, Li Mu came out of the academy and strolled to the main branch of Zhuji, where he bumped into Yuan Jin'er.

She looked Li Mu up and down a few times: "Talented Ning, you've come to see Sister Yunzhu again?"

Ever since she learned that the person who was having an ambiguous relationship with Nie Yunzhu was Li Mu, Yuan Jin'er, who used to show great admiration for his talent, seemed to have swallowed gunpowder. Whenever she met him, she would either spit out a few words or make sarcastic remarks.

Li Mu laughed and said, "What, it's not allowed?"

Yuan Jin'er said, "No, everyone's saying you set up the Su family's affair, making the Wu family and everyone else look foolish. You're so capable, who knows if you're sincere? Maybe you just want to swindle money and take advantage of people..."

Li Mu chuckled lightly: "Scamming for money or sex...scamming for sex is one thing, but scamming for money? Would I go that far?"

Yuan Jin'er gave her a look as if she had caught you red-handed: "Look at you, you're telling the truth now. You approached Yunzhu because she's pretty, and you just wanted to seduce her."

Li Mu chuckled and said, "You're quite pretty too. Now that I'm getting close to you, am I going to try and seduce you again?"

Yuan Jin'er blushed slightly, covering her chest with one hand, and said, "You dare... I won't be fooled by your charm!"

Li Mu said, "Since you don't want to be deceived by your body, then I'll deceive you by your money."

Yuan Jin'er snorted and said, "You can't cheat me out of my money. I've already invested in Zhuji. I won't cheat you out of a single penny."
