Chapter 958: Chapter 18 Lord Master Entrusts His Orphan_2

“There are many possibilities for why someone would take the Elixir Medicine.” Yan Yu said calmly, “It could be for researching its properties and making inferences, or possibly for reverse engineering to attempt replication.”

“There might also be the possibility that someone has been overly indulgent in their passions and wrecked their body, and has no choice but to make an urgent restoration.” Liu Longtao also sighed, “Ah, his girlfriends are probably in the double digits by now, truly a man of boundless greed. Perhaps one day he’ll die on a woman’s belly.”

Yan Yu fell silent for a moment, then said:

“Recently, Zhao Yuanzhen also asked to borrow the Liangyi Micro Dust Sword from me, saying he wanted to get familiar with it in advance…”

Liu Longtao’s expression turned solemn, and he hurriedly said seriously:

“Only the strong can possess a beauty, and only those peerlessly strong can have multiple beauties. For someone with ordinary strength like me, at most I can handle one girlfriend, I really can’t begin to imagine the endurance level of those peerlessly strong… So, when can I borrow the Liangyi Micro Dust Sword?”

“It’s lying there on the table.”

“Thank you, Old Yan, consider this a favor I owe you.”

Liu Longtao went to take the Liangyi Micro Dust Sword, and Yan Yu silently sent his Divine Sense over, ordering it to temporarily heed Liu Longtao’s commands.

Lord Master was about to step out the door when he suddenly turned back and said:

“He Ye and I have already agreed that once I successfully Cross the Tribulation, I will marry her.”

“You dare to set up that kind of flag?” Yan Yu was immediately shocked and dismayed, “Be careful, the heavenly tribulation might multiply and multiply, and then multiply again, turning you into ash!”

“That’s exactly what I want to say.” Liu Longtao said earnestly, “If I unfortunately die under the heavenly tribulation, He Ye will inevitably be emotionally devastated, Old Yan, please help me look after her a bit.”

“Don’t worry.” Yan Yu said seriously, “I’ll take care of your girlfriend, you can rest assured and go.”

“No, that’s not it.” Liu Longtao was speechless for a moment, and explained, “The money I left her is enough for her and her family to spend for dozens of generations, it really doesn’t need you to support them… If she finds someone new, Old Yan, you must remember to thwart it for me.”

“Why should a dead person give the living such a hard time?” Yan Yu asked, puzzled and shocked, “Could it be that you also want her to remain a widow for the rest of her life?”

“In a world where Spiritual Energy has even been revived, who knows if the Underworld might exist?” Liu Longtao smirked, “I’m afraid that when I’m reincarnated and re-enter the path of Cultivation, finally recalling my past life memories, I might find her already married to another and with several children…”

“Then you’ll just find another.” Yan Yu said, “Moreover, by that time, she will probably be quite old or might even have passed away and be reincarnated again, do you still want to interfere with that?”

“Bullshit!” Liu Longtao exclaimed, “My woman embracing another man after my death, isn’t that a clear case of being cuckolded? As a warrior of pure love, I can’t stand such a thing, even if I’m dead and buried in the coffin, I would still use my decaying voice to shout out that anyone slightly related to being cuckolded better damn well die! Old Yan, just say whether you’ll help me with this or not!”

“I’m quite hesitant.” Yan Yu said, stroking his chin, “You know, Old Liu, I’m not very chauvinistic. Although you have given her a lot of money with the intention of getting married, it doesn’t mean that she has to marry you if she took the money, or must remain a widow for her whole life if you die, that’s too much of a feudal superstition…”

“That being said.” Liu Longtao mused, “The Elixir Medicine for harmonizing yin and yang, restoring the deficit, I seem to have also obtained a bottle of something similar through confidential channels.”

“But I am also a warrior of pure love.” Yan Yu immediately said with gravity, “Regarding the twisted trends in the current marriage market, I am always resolutely opposed. If two people really love each other deeply, can something as trivial as life and death come between them? As the number one Cultivator of Lu Country, even if I can’t manage all the people in the world, I have to take care of the widows of my comrades!”

“As expected, Old Yan, you understand me!” Liu Longtao grasped Yan Yu’s hands, gratefully saying, “Comrade! Old Yan, I won’t say too many thanks, this way I can cross the tribulation without any worries!”

“Comrade!” Yan Yu shook his hands forcefully, “Don’t worry, a man’s promise is as good as gold! Rest assured and go cross that tribulation!”

“Although it doesn’t sound very good to say this.” Liu Longtao asked with a smile, “But you surely won’t covet what’s mine, right?”

“Of course not.” Yan Yu replied with a smile, “Although He Ye’s looks are decent, she’s ultimately of mortal build, and not within the scope of my choice for a partner.”

“Your preference for only female cultivators exhibits such a refined taste!” Liu Longtao exclaimed in admiration, “It’s like a wild horse—the more of a divine steed it is, the harder it is to tame, and only a powerful person like you could be a match for one! How could a tame and mediocre wild horse ever catch your discerning eye?”

“Bucephalus often appears, yet a discerning eye like Bo Le is rare,” Yan Yu similarly lamented, “Let the Bucephalus gallop across the battlefield, and leave the packhorses to pull carts and grind mills—that’s what a true connoisseur ought to do.”

“Pfft.” Unconcealed laughter came from outside the door.

Both men looked outside at the same time, only to see Chen Lingyun floating past the corridor and returning to her own room door, swiping her card and entering.

“Just to set the record straight,” Liu Longtao lowered his voice, “I basically agree with your theory about horses. To add to that, if a horse is both defiant and of poor talent, it’s wiser to sell it off.”

He jerked his chin in Chen Lingyun’s direction, then left with the Liangyi Micro Dust Sword in hand.

Yan Yu had just closed his door and turned around when Chen Lingyun, not knowing when she had arrived, had already phased through the wall into his room and was now sitting by the bed, playing with her phone.

“What are you doing here?” Yan Yu frowned and asked, “I’ve just recently aided Ningning in achieving her Golden Core Rank, and I haven’t fully recovered. I can’t be of help to you for now.”

“It’s not about that,” Chen Lingyun said with a smile, “I know you can’t.”

Yan Yu’s brow furrowed slightly, wondering whether he should clear his name. But then he thought it might be the crafty scheme of a wretched woman—acting rashly could play right into her trap.

“What did Lord Master come to talk to you about just now?” Chen Lingyun asked with a smile, “I’m very curious.”

“He is going to face his heavenly tribulation tomorrow and came to borrow the Liangyi Micro Dust Sword from me,” Yan Yu replied.

“Oh, anything else?” Chen Lingyun asked languidly, “Like, did he make any arrangements with you just in case, to take care of his affairs after his potential passing?”

“You eavesdropped and still you ask me?” Yan Yu was speechless, “He asked me to look after He Ye.”

He generally relayed Lord Master’s request, since the latter hadn’t forbidden him from telling Chen Lingyun.

After quietly listening, Chen Lingyun commented:

“What a simpleton. With such an intense possessiveness, why didn’t he have He Ye buried with him in death?”

“Burial seems a bit extreme,” Yan Yu said, “But I think it’s understandable to not want someone to remarry.”

“Did they actually get married?” Chen Lingyun raised an eyebrow and asked.

“They’ve pledged themselves to each other, practically the same,” Yan Yu spread his hands and said, “It can’t just be official with a marriage certificate, right? Do people at our level really rely on that red booklet?”

“You’ve got a point,” Chen Lingyun narrowed her eyes and pondered, “If he really does die, should I try to find a way to help He Ye find new love?”

“There’s no point in you doing that,” Yan Yu frowned and said, “Plus, by then Old Liu would also have died, and you won’t be able to enjoy your favorite game of ‘manipulating victims and watching their reactions’.”

“There’s still you, though,” Chen Lingyun said nonchalantly, “If I were to orchestrate a mistake on your part without you knowing, would you feel guilty for betraying your brother’s trust, or would you blame it all on me and feel justified—or perhaps even more excited for having broken a promise and acted immorally?”

Yan Yu drew a sharp breath, about to scold her for her wicked thoughts, but saw her smiling and waving her hand dismissively as she lightly said:

“Oh, I’m just talking—wouldn’t actually do such a thing—I still have some moral standards, you know.”

This wretched woman was again seriously saying things of dubious truth, to the point where Yan Yu couldn’t bother deciphering her real intentions. He thought to himself that if Old Liu really met an unfortunate end, he would send He Ye’s entire family to the Northern Border to live in anonymity, just to avoid this wretched woman’s schemes!
