Abandoning literature for martial arts, starting by unleashing the beauty's bow.

On the mountain path leading from Mao'er Village to the official road, two figures struggled forward; it was Du Sanqiu and his attendant.

"Young manager, why are you doing this?"

After traveling dozens of miles, we still ended up in this godforsaken place. Is it really worth it for a country girl?

What's even more infuriating is that these country bumpkins actually dared to give the young manager a hard time.

"If the young manager hadn't held me back, I would have ripped the tiles off his roof."

The servant had clearly never traveled such a rugged mountain path before; he trembled with every step and complained all the while.

Du Sanqiu, however, had a smile on his face. "If you don't understand, don't spout nonsense here."

The servant added, "Countless young ladies in the city want to marry the young manager, but he doesn't take any of them seriously."

Why did he have to fall for a girl from the countryside?

Is this girl even more beautiful than a celestial being?

Du Sanqiu rolled his eyes. "I told you, you wouldn't understand. Stop talking nonsense and let's get going."

The servant responded with an "oh," but remained silent for less than ten breaths before asking again, "Young manager, we've come all this way, are we just going to let it go like this?"

"Where did you go for nothing?"

Du Sanqiu's lips curled up. "Now that you've accepted the place, you can come here often."

"You're going to come here often?" The servant's eyes widened.

At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out behind them, "If you dare to come back, I'll break your legs!"

Du Sanqiu quickly turned around and was shocked to see Lu Fengnian striding rapidly down the mountain path.

The short servant was quite loyal and quickly stepped in front of Du Sanqiu, saying hastily, "You country bumpkin, do you know who our young manager is?"

If you dare to lay a finger on him...

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Fengnian rushed over, grabbed him by the neck, lifted him up, and threw him into the roadside bushes.

Then, Lu Fengnian strode forward, preparing to attack Du Sanqiu again.

Du Sanqiu's expression changed drastically. He retreated while hurriedly saying, "Brother, hold on, let's talk this out."

Lu Fengnian stopped and stared coldly at Du Sanqiu. "Du, the tricks you use on other women won't work on my Xiaoyu."

I'm warning you, my mother is being magnanimous today and won't hold it against you.

If you continue to cause trouble, I'll break your third leg, so you'll never be able to do anything wrong again.

Upon hearing this, Du Sanqiu felt a chill in his groin and quickly squeezed his legs together. Then, he raised his right hand and said in a serious tone:

"Big brother, I swear, I really had no ill intentions towards Xiaoyu."

At the same time, a thin servant crawled out of the bushes and came to Du Sanqiu's side, staring at Lu Fengnian with angry and fearful eyes.

Lu Fengnian snorted coldly, "Can you believe the oaths made by people like you?"

Du Sanqiu quickly said, "Brother, you have to believe me, my feelings for Xiaoyu are sincere..."

"Shut the hell up!"

Lu Fengnian kicked Du Sanqiu, sending him flying into the roadside bushes.

Seeing his master being beaten, the thin servant immediately swung his slender arm, ready to fight Lu Fengnian to the death.

Lu Fengnian kicked out again, sending the servant flying into the bushes.

Du Sanqiu had just gotten up when he was knocked to the ground by a servant who stumbled and fell. The two rolled around in the grass.

After falling twice, Du Sanqiu's face was already bruised and swollen.

The thin servant was in the same sorry state.

However, the servant was a stubborn fellow. Knowing that he was no match for Lu Fengnian, he got up and charged at Lu Fengnian again.

"Come back in March!"

Du Sanqiu shouted urgently.

Upon hearing this, the thin servant named March immediately stopped and stood protectively in front of Du Sanqiu.

Lu Fengnian slightly raised his eyelids, somewhat surprised by Sanyue's loyalty. Du Sanqiu's ability to cultivate such a loyal servant was probably not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Du Sanqiu cupped his hands towards Lu Fengnian and said sincerely, "Brother, it's normal that you don't believe me."

However, from the first moment I saw Xiaoyu, I was captivated and utterly smitten with her.

And I secretly vowed in my heart that I would marry no one but Xiaoyu in this life…

"Stop!"

Lu Fengnian interrupted him, "Hey Du, stop spouting that nonsense about love at first sight! I don't believe a word you say!"

At this point, he looked around and said, "This place is deserted. If we bury one or two people here, no one will find out."

As he spoke, his voice was chillingly cold, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light.

March sensed the killing intent emanating from Lu Fengnian and was clearly frightened, but she steeled herself and stood in front of Du Sanqiu, saying, "If you dare to lay a finger on the young manager, I'll fight you to the death!"

Lu Fengnian ignored Sanyue and looked at Du Sanqiu with narrowed eyes. "Du, I've said what I needed to say. You'd better watch yourself."

After saying that, he turned around and strode towards Mao'er Village.

As Du Sanqiu watched Lu Fengnian's figure disappear into the distance, he suddenly called out, "Big brother, wait a minute!"

Lu Fengnian stopped and turned around, his brows furrowed.

Du Sanqiu gritted his teeth. "Brother, things have come to this, so I'll tell you the truth."

With that, he waved to March, "Go ahead and wait for me."

In March, she hesitated and did not move.

Du Sanqiu raised his voice, "Be good!"

In March, he whispered, "Young manager, this fellow is quite ruthless; you must be careful."

After saying that, he walked quickly forward and stopped about three zhang away.

Lu Fengnian looked at Du Sanqiu calmly, "What do you want to tell me?"

Du Sanqiu cleared his throat. "Big brother, let me state first that I genuinely like Xiaoyu..."

Lu Fengnian raised his eyebrows. "Do you believe I'll bury you right now?!"

Du Sanqiu shrank back and waved his hands repeatedly, "Brother, let me say something else."

Here's what happened: About six months ago, a crazy old man came into our shop, grabbed me, and said he would show me a bright path to heaven.

Seeing that this crazy old man was dressed in tattered clothes and filthy, I didn't believe him at all, so I ordered my men to throw him out.

As the mad old man was being driven out, he shouted at me, saying that I would suffer a bloody disaster within three days.

To my surprise, the very next morning, I stepped in dog poop while walking down the street, fell and cracked my head open, bleeding profusely from my face.

At this point, he leaned closer to Lu Fengnian, pointing to a thin scar on his forehead, "Big brother, look, this is from that fall the other day, it hurt so much..."

Lu Fengnian was quite disgusted by the kid's shamelessness and made a move to kick him again.

Du Sanqiu was quite quick-witted; before Lu Fengnian could fully lift his foot, he quickly dodged to the side.

Lu Fengnian frowned and said, "I don't have time to stew mushrooms with you here. Just spit it out already."
