Chapter 186 Worries

Late at night, Su Yue lay on her side, nestled in Qi Yu's arms, her cheeks still flushed, and her clear eyes still held a hint of allure and mystery.

"Husband, are you really sure?" Su Yue asked softly.

Qi Yu planned to go south with her after the sect leader emerged from the pass.

Qi Yu put his arm around Su Yue's smooth shoulders and said softly, "Besides you, I have nothing in this world. All that power and influence is ultimately just empty talk. What use is it to me?"

"If that's the case, I might as well just be a lazy bum and enjoy life. Anyway, my wife will support me, so I can just live off her!"

Su Yue chuckled upon hearing this, tightening her grip on Qi Yu's waist slightly, bringing her body even closer to him.

"Alright! Then come back to the South with me, and I'll take care of you for the rest of your life!"

Qi Yu smiled and hugged Su Yue tightly. Every time he held Su Yue, he felt an extraordinary sense of peace, and all his fatigue would vanish.

He will follow his teacher's instructions, manage the Taoist affairs well during his seclusion, and wait for his return.

After the teacher emerges from seclusion, he will relinquish his authority and return to the south with Su Yue, or perhaps settle down in Jiangzhou City.

It didn't matter where he went; from beginning to end, he only ever had Su Yue.

When he first came into this world, he had no relatives by his side. The physical hunger, cold, and mental loneliness tormented him to the point of collapse.

At that moment, he felt as if he were in a dark, airtight room, surrounded by nothing but darkness and cold.

But then Su Yue appeared, bringing light to his life. She was like a beacon, giving him warmth and allowing him to see his surroundings and the world more clearly.

Because of Su Yue's existence, his world became vibrant, no longer just a dark void.

He could give up everything, but he couldn't give up Su Yue.

The teacher wanted to become the head teacher and inherit his mantle, but he simply couldn't do it.

Because that would bring disaster to Taoism.

Although the teacher may be disappointed, it is still much better than ruining Taoism in his own hands.

As for the teacher's kindness, I will always remember it.

Apart from the condition of becoming the head coach, he will comply with any other conditions.

……

The next morning, Qi Yu got up early, while Su Yue was still fast asleep.

Now, Su Yue basically maintains her original appearance in front of him, which is that of a beauty that could cause disaster.

Qi Yu himself is also learning to adapt, after all, this is the real Su Yue.

After getting dressed, Qi Yu tidied up Su Yue's clothes and placed them on the stool by the bed.

Looking at the broken purple bodice, Qi Yu scratched his cheek and then glanced at Su Yue on the bed.

You'll have to apologize properly again!

With a helpless wry smile, Qi Yu placed the undergarment on top of a pile of clothes before heading towards the door.

Qi Yu walked out of the bedroom and heard noises coming from the kitchen. He already guessed who it was.

Sure enough, it was Xu Shuqin preparing breakfast.

Xu Shuqin is a famous cook, and cooking seems to be her only hobby.

Xu Shuqin is now at the half-step Grandmaster level. According to Su Yue, her mother-in-law is not very interested in martial arts, otherwise she would be a Grandmaster by now.

My brother-in-law, Su Yun, has also returned to the Blood God Sect to cultivate in seclusion and break through to the Grandmaster level!

He was provoked by Qi Yu. He had practiced martial arts for more than ten years, but he was still not as good as Qi Yu who had practiced for nine months.

Given his proud nature, how could he possibly be willing to be suppressed by Qi Yu?

Xu Shuqin prepared breakfast, so Qi Yu went to the yard to fetch water and chop firewood.

After three months away, the firewood at home was almost gone.

Nowadays, chopping firewood is as easy as splitting tofu, one cut at a time.

By the time the firewood was chopped and the water vat was filled, the sun was high in the sky.

Su Chengying got up and sat in the courtyard, sipping green tea and watching Qi Yu chop wood and carry water, looking very relaxed and content.

Breakfast was served, but Su Yue still hadn't come out. Qi Yu couldn't help but reflect on whether he had been too harsh.

Back then, Su Yue would get up earlier than him every day and prepare the clothes he needed to wear.

So he kept trying to keep Su Yue from getting up, and he succeeded. Recently, Su Yue has indeed been getting up earlier than him.

Why did I get up so late today?

Qi Yu wanted to check on Su Yue's condition, but Xu Shuqin beat him to it and went into the inner room, her face full of indignation.

Is it reasonable for a woman to sleep until the sun is high in the sky?

In other words, Qi Yu didn't care. If it were anyone else, Su Yue would definitely have been divorced for acting like this.

Serving one's husband and being filial to one's parents-in-law are the most basic responsibilities of a daughter-in-law.

Pushing open the door to the inner room, Su Yue was already up, sitting in front of the dressing table combing her hair.

The door was pushed open, and Su Yue couldn't help but turn her head. Seeing her mother's indifferent gaze, Su Yue couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

She did oversleep, that's a fact!

If her parents-in-law were still alive, she should have gone to pay her respects and prepare breakfast long ago.

Looking at her daughter with her head down, Xu Shuqin sighed, her stern face relaxing and turning into helplessness.

They're still my biological children after all!

"Yue'er, even though Yu'er doesn't mind, you can't be this lazy, can you?"

"I know I was wrong, I'll be more careful!" Su Yue said softly.

Xu Shuqin nodded, then raised an eyebrow as she looked at the weariness between Su Yue's brows.

"I know you're young and full of energy, but you should still exercise restraint, right? It seems you didn't listen to me!"

Su Yue blushed and lowered her head even further. She remembered, and she also resisted.

But at times like these, her husband would become quite shameless, and she couldn't do anything about it under Qi Yu's persistent pleading!

She couldn't refuse Qi Yu!

Xu Shuqin looked helpless and could only sigh. She walked to Su Yue's side, took the comb from Su Yue's hand, and started combing Su Yue's hair.

"You! I don't know what good fortune you had to marry Yu'er. You should cherish him. What if one day he gets seduced by that crazy woman Li Qiushui's daughter? Then you'll be crying!"

Hearing her mother address Li Qiushui, Su Yue couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The relationship between his mother and Li Qiushui was irreconcilable.

"But then again, this crazy woman is quite pitiful. She lost her father when she was young, her mother when she was a teenager, and she was even almost sold to a brothel by her uncle!"

"Even though she later demonstrated her talent and martial arts prowess, was adopted by the late emperor as his goddaughter, and even received the title of Princess Jinglin, she was ultimately just a drifting duckweed."

"In the end, she was still forced to marry Qin Shuhuai."

"Now that Qin Shuhuai has encountered this situation again, I don't know if she can handle it!"

As Xu Shuqin spoke, she couldn't help but sigh, her words revealing undisguised sympathy and worry.

Chapter 187 Forbidden Technique

Xu Shuqin was unhappy with Li Qiushui, but from beginning to end, Li Qiushui did nothing wrong.

The one who's wrong is Su Chengying, the emperor who's already dead.

She wasn't angry about the past between Su Chengying and Li Qiushui; she was angry that Su Chengying hadn't seriously addressed the issue.

Regardless of the circumstances, Su Chengying owed Li Qiushui a debt, and Su Chengying also felt guilty.

But for so many years, Su Chengying has been avoiding this issue and refusing to face it.

That's why she's angry!

If you feel guilty, it's fine for you to marry Li Qiushui. You can accept taking a concubine, and at most you'll beat up Su Chengying afterwards.

But the reason she's angry is that Su Chengying keeps dragging things out and maintaining that ambiguous relationship with Li Qiushui.

It's so slow and drawn-out that it's unpleasant to watch.

"Does Yu'er owe Qin Xiyao a favor?" Xu Shuqin asked.

Su Yue nodded and said, "Miss Qin saved my husband!"

"Then you'd better be careful!" Xu Shuqin warned.

Su Yue smiled and said, "If Miss Qin can win my husband's heart, I don't mind. It's just one more person, one more pair of chopsticks!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Shuqin looked at Su Yue with a strange expression. "She's too virtuous, isn't she?"

You don't care?

Are you more confident in yourself or in Qi Yu?

Or are you truly indifferent and willing to share Qi Yu's love with other women?

Xu Shuqin didn't know what to say!

……

After combing Su Yue's hair, the mother and daughter came out of the inner room, where Su Chengying and Qi Yu had already started eating.

As soon as Su Yue sat down next to Qi Yu, Qi Yu placed a peeled egg in the bowl in front of her.

"My dear wife, please eat more. You've lost so much weight lately!"
