Yuegui looked at Lin Zhu and asked, "What do you plan to do about those people outside?"

"If you're going to help someone, go all the way. If you're going to help someone, go all the way."

Lin Zhu went out to calm everyone down, burned the Xiongnu camp along with the corpses of the Xiongnu soldiers, and then questioned the people.

Having learned of their intentions, he sent them back to Chang'an.

After all, it's hard to leave one's homeland.

At this time, the mutiny in Chang'an had only recently occurred, and the number of dead far exceeded the number of prisoners.

These ordinary people don't need to worry about not having land to cultivate.

After settling the people in, Lin Zhu once again took a detour through Nantianmen and returned to Taiyuan.

Mo Lihong said to his three brothers, "This True Lord Lin Zhu really treats the South Heavenly Gate as his own, coming and going as he pleases."

Mo Lihai said, "Who can blame him when he has a powerful backer and his own strength is not bad? Second brother, if you were him, you could do the same."

As celestial beings in the Heavenly Court, they do not have the right to come and go as they please.

They could only envy Lin Zhu.

Upon returning to Taiyuan, Lin Zhu released Lü Lingqi, Chang'e, Ren Hongchang, Cai Yan, and Yan Yunxi.

Cai Yan was still unconscious, and Lin Zhu carried her to the inner room to rest.

As Lü Bu's home, the Lü Mansion was not a place that many people in Taiyuan dared to enter. It had servants and the courtyard was well-maintained.

Both Lü Lingqi and Ren Hongchang were curious about Cai Yan.

In the chat group, those who were not in seclusion breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that Cai Yan had been rescued.

Chang'e looked at Cai Yan and said, "Another beautiful younger sister. Your love life is almost as good as your looks."

“Exactly, exactly,” Lü Lingqi quipped with a smile.

Lin Zhu glared at her and said in the group: "Sister Chang'e doesn't know what's going on, but you don't?"

Lü Lingqi: Hahaha! Yes, it's not your fault, blame the big sister.

Ren Hongchang chuckled to herself. She already understood the mechanism of the chat group, but she still obeyed Lin Zhu in every way, acting like a servant.

It seems that as long as Lin Zhu gives the order, she will do whatever it is.

As for asking her to offer herself to someone...

Ren Hongchang: Is there really such a good thing?

Seeing Chang'e and Lü Lingqi teasing Lin Zhu together, Yuegui chimed in, "With this appearance, even Wang Shu would be tempted. Attracting peach blossoms is a certainty."

"You'd better not mention my name when you're teasing Xiaozhuzi, I can hear you." Wang Shu's voice suddenly rang in the ears of Linzhu, Chang'e, and Yuegui.

As Dao Lords, they would sense anyone mentioning their names unless they shielded themselves from the heavenly secrets beforehand.

"So what if I brought it up? Can you pull me out?" Yuegui retorted defiantly to Wangshu, not afraid at all.

Wang Shu said, "Then I can only refuse to welcome Xiao Zhuzi to Taiyin Star from now on, since his Gui Shui Yue Gui is already complete."

"No, you can't do this!" Yuegui was caught off guard. "Wangshu, have you forgotten? We are from the same source, our own kin!"

"Now you know to say this? Where's your arrogance from before?" Wang Shu's tone was slightly teasing.

"I was wrong." In order to see the magnificent landscape of Pangu Realm for herself, Yuegui could only lower her head and admit her mistake, then muttered softly, "I clearly sensed before that you were interested!"

As soon as Yuegui started muttering, Lin Zhu immediately shut down his five senses.

There are some things he shouldn't hear, and he doesn't dare to listen to them.

Then, Chang'e was dumbfounded. "How can I listen to such words?" She turned her gaze to Lin Zhu and thought that Lin Zhu was a complete idiot. This move of his was too clever.

Wang Shu didn't pursue the matter further, only instructing, "Chang'e, take good care of Yuegui."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Chang'e bowed respectfully to the void.

Although she possessed the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, she was merely a maidservant of Wangshu on the Taiyin Star.

After being unconscious for a day and a night, Cai Yan regained consciousness.

She had a dream in which she was not rescued by Lin Zhu, but was instead abducted to the border region, where she had two children and lived a life of primitive subsistence.

Although I was still terrified, thankfully it was just a dream.

She looked around and found herself in an elegantly furnished room. Gradually, she relaxed, got up and pushed open the door. A servant was already waiting with a basin of water.

"Miss, you're awake. Please take a bath and change your clothes."

Cai Yan glanced at herself, blushing slightly. "Thank you for your trouble."

She clearly remembers that she was somewhat disheveled at the time, but fortunately her innocence was not compromised.

After washing up, she was taken to the front yard.

In the front yard, several afterimages flew about.

Lü Lingqi was sparring with Ren Hongchang, one with sweeping, powerful moves and the other with graceful, elegant movements; their battle was fierce and evenly matched.

Lin Zhu, Chang'e, and Yuegui were watching the battle.

With a quick glance, Lin Zhu noticed Cai Yan and teleported in front of her without leaving a trace. "You're awake."

Cai Yan hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you for saving my life, young master. I have no way to repay you. I hope that I can serve you in the future and be at your service."

Lin Zhu reached out to help him up, saying, "You're too kind. It was just a small favor."

Looking at Chang'e, Yuegui whispered, "Look, another one."

Chang'e smiled but did not answer.

"Does my lord find me unworthy? Indeed, I am but a frail and plain woman, and it seems I cannot remain by your side."

Cai Yan sighed, not in a sarcastic tone, but from the bottom of her heart.

After all, compared to Lin Zhu's appearance, she did feel that she was as plain as a willow.

"Never mind, it's fine if you stay with me for now." Lin Zhu let go of his hand and then asked, "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Here, take this."

Lin Zhu gave Cai Yan a large red jade date, which was equivalent to a high-grade fasting pill. Eating one would keep her from being hungry for several months. It was also very beautiful and exceptionally delicious.

Cai Yan didn't stand on ceremony and reached out to accept it, saying, "Thank you, young master."

After Cai Yan finished eating, Lin Zhu said to her, "From now on, you will learn martial arts with them. Oh, and this zither is for you."

The Phoenix Zither is no longer of much use to Lin Zhu, even though it has been refined into a high-grade acquired spiritual treasure.

Giving it to Cai Yan now is a way of making the best use of it.

Cai Yan declined, saying, "This zither is precious, and I absolutely cannot accept it."

"This zither is useless to me. You can keep it so you can play it for me in the future."

Only after Lin Zhu said this did Cai Yan happily accept the Fenglai Qin, saying, "Thank you, young master."

Yuegui then said to Chang'e, "Alright, now you're completely devoted, utterly and wholeheartedly committed."

Chang'e thought to herself, "He'll be devoted to me even without all this."

Lin Zhu could hear what Yuegui was saying, but he pretended not to hear it.

A few days later, Lü Bu led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry back to Taiyuan and immediately went to the Lü residence.

He still cares a lot about his wife and daughter.

When Lü Lingqi learned that Lü Bu had returned, she went outside the mansion to greet him.

"Isn't this Marquis Wen, Lü Bu? Didn't you just take a beautiful concubine? Do you still remember your wife and daughters at home?"

When Lü Bu saw Lü Lingqi, he didn't recognize her at first, after all, Lü Lingqi had changed so much in the past few years.

Upon hearing this, a surge of anger rose within him. "You woman, how dare you laugh at me?" With that, he was about to slap Lü Lingqi to death.

Lu Lingqi was dumbfounded. She quickly retreated into the mansion, moving so fast that Lu Bu couldn't catch up. Then she shouted, "Are you trying to kill me?"

"How dare a mere brat spout such nonsense!" Lu Bu roared, startling everyone in the room.

Lin Zhu appeared in front of Lü Bu in a flash, struck out with a palm, knocking Lü Bu back, and then said, "Lü Bu, what are you doing? Are you trying to kill your own daughter?"

Lu Bu paused for a moment, looked behind Lin Zhu, and asked in astonishment, "Is that Ling Qi?"

"Otherwise what?" Lin Zhu also looked behind Lü Bu, where a group of maids surrounded Baihua Xiu.

He felt something was off; for some reason, he just felt that Baihuaxiu looked like a monkey.

But Baihuaxiu is clearly very beautiful and lively.

'That's weird, why does she look like a monkey to me? Something's not right!'

Baihua Xiu also saw Lin Zhu. In just one glance, she felt as if ten thousand years had passed, and then she wanted to have a child with Lin Zhu.

'How could I have had such a thought?'

She felt no guilt whatsoever; on the contrary, she took it all for granted.

Lu Bu scratched his head and said, "It really is Lingqi. I didn't recognize her at first." Then he became very angry, "But she shouldn't have been so sarcastic."

"Hmph!" Lü Lingqi turned her head away arrogantly.

Lu Bu felt that his little cotton-padded jacket was letting in the wind, so he turned to Baihua Xiu and said, "Baihua, come and greet Brother Lin." Then he said to Lu Lingqi, "Lingqi, come and greet your aunt."

"I don't want to!" Lu Lingqi said angrily, heading towards Yan Yunxi.

Upon hearing that Lü Bu had returned, Yan Yunxi hurriedly came out to check.

Then they saw Lü Bu confronting Lin Zhu.

"Husband, why are you doing this?"

In recent years, Yan Yunxi has learned a passive skill: her gaze automatically avoids Lin Zhu.

Lu Bu looked towards his wife when he heard the sound, but when he saw Yan Yunxi looking at him, he knew that his head hadn't turned green.

But look at Baihuaxiu, her eyes practically glued to Lin Zhu. If she were to spend more time with Lin Zhu, her own head would turn green, if not green.

Lin Zhu was speechless at Lü Bu's actions; the problem wasn't with him, so why was he being blamed?
