The Heavens Begin with Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 203 Audacious Sex
"what?"

Lin Chong's heart suddenly jumped, and he could not help but be horrified. He quickly stood up, bowed and declined politely:

"Lin is a rough man. It is a great honor for me to be favored by the general manager. I dare not ask for more. I really don't dare to reach out."

"Hehe..." Li Yan laughed dryly twice, knowing that he was a little too hasty and made Lin Chong dislike him.

He was somewhat unhappy in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. Instead, he apologized first:

"I drank too much today, and now I have the help of Master Lin. I am a little too happy. Master Lin, please don't blame me."

"I dare not..." Lin Chong hurriedly tried to comfort him, "It's all because of my humble background that I can't be accepted into a prestigious place. It's not the steward's fault."

Li Yan saw that he was somewhat measured in what he said and did, and was a qualified official, so he suggested:

"I also want to deepen my relationship with Master Lin, so I took the liberty to say what I just said."

"Since Master Lin is unwilling to take me as his adoptive father, how about you and I become sworn brothers?"

"What?" Lin Chong was even more shocked after hearing this.

Being a godson of a eunuch is indeed not a good reputation, and Lin Chong did not agree for this reason. However, if he were to become a brother with a palace eunuch like Li Zongguan, he would become even more panicked.

Because he is very self-aware and knows that he is not worthy!

This kind of chief eunuch is the emperor's close attendant, the top eunuch in the court, the boss among the bosses, and his status is very noble.

If he were to be the godson of Li Zongguan, his identity would be appropriate, but to be Li Zongguan's brother, haha...is Lin Chong worthy of it?
This time he not only jumped up, but also knocked his head on the ground, trembling with fear.

"It's not that I don't want to marry the steward, but I'm really a rough man who doesn't understand many official rules. I'm afraid that I might violate taboos in my words and deeds in the future and bring trouble to the steward."

The eunuchs in the palace were physically disabled and very sensitive to some things. Now that Li Yan saw that Lin Chong had repeatedly rejected his kindness, he suddenly became furious. He felt that it was obvious that he despised his background as a eunuch and didn't want to have anything to do with him.

He put the teacup on the table and sneered:
"Master Lin, I have good intentions and want to take our relationship to a new level, but you are trying to push me away. Why do you think I am unwelcome?"

"No, no, please don't misunderstand me, Lin Chong definitely doesn't have such intention!"

Lin Chong was so frightened that he kowtowed to Li Yan repeatedly, fearing that he would offend this eunuch and lose his life and property.

Li Yan took a deep breath, and finally suppressed his anger. Finally, he suggested:

"Well, I see that your wife is gentle and elegant, and I want to take her in as my adopted daughter. I wonder if Master Lin is willing?"

He had already made up his mind that if Lin Chong continued to be so ungrateful, he would simply fabricate a crime and kill him, and then send the pretty widow to Tianzun.

Of course, I can't handle such things myself, so as to avoid causing trouble in the future, and then I will have to find a scapegoat.

After rejecting Steward Li twice in a row, Lin Chong felt a little guilty. Now, when he heard Steward Li mention marriage for the third time, and not with himself but with his wife, he felt much more relieved. Thinking that he was a eunuch and could not do anything to his wife, he simply gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Thank you for your appreciation, Mr. Manager. I would like to thank you on my wife's behalf."

"Haha...Okay, that's great!" Li Yan was very happy when he saw Lin Chong agreed.

The one he was thinking about originally was Madam Lin, and Lin Chong was just a bonus. Who cared who Lin Chong was?

Now that Madam Lin has acknowledged him as her adoptive father, the effect is much better than accepting Lin Chong as her godson!
"Then it's settled. The cart of gifts outside the door is for you and your wife. Feel free to accept them."

"I'll find you a good job later, so it won't be in vain that you followed me."

After getting this promise, Lin Chong was overjoyed. He felt that he had wasted half his life and finally met a benefactor who appreciated him. In the future, he would be able to display all his martial arts and talents. However, he didn't know that Li Yan had already made clear arrangements for him in his mind and wanted to send him out of the capital to prevent him from being an eyesore in front of the Heavenly Lord in the future.

After the matter was settled, Li Yan said goodbye and left. Lin Chong eagerly saw him off for a long distance before turning back with a beaming face and happily shouted to Madam Lin:
"Madam, you really got it right!"

"It turns out that Manager Li saw my ability and capability because of the immortal's work and is willing to promote me. Our family will become prosperous soon!"

Mrs. Lin was also delighted when she heard this, and said with a smile:
"It is because you have been practicing martial arts diligently for more than ten years without slacking off that you have acquired this ability. Otherwise, even if you have caught the attention of the noble, you would not be able to seize this opportunity."

"Sir, you must seize this opportunity and show your abilities. Don't be as cautious as before, not daring to do this or that. It makes people angry just by looking at you."

Lin Chong smiled and said:
"It was impossible before. If it were possible, who would be willing to bow down and beg?"

"By the way, my lady, Manager Li wants to win over my husband, so he wants to take you in as his adopted daughter. I have already agreed on your behalf."

"Adopted daughter?" Madam Lin couldn't help but be stunned, feeling somewhat reluctant. After all, who would want to have an extra godfather for no reason?

"Don't worry, my lady. Steward Li is an eunuch in the inner palace and cannot get close to women. Besides, the title of foster father and foster daughter is just a title to bring the two families closer. Don't take it seriously."

Mrs. Lin then felt relieved and, for the sake of her husband's future, she reluctantly agreed.

Unexpectedly, the next morning, there was a constant stream of people and cars in front of the Lin family's door, and a lot of gifts were delivered to the door.

Lin Chong thought this was just a formality, but Li Yan didn't think so. He wished everyone in Tokyo knew about this relationship!

At least he had to declare his sovereignty first and tell all the powerful families that Zhang Ruozhen had been reserved by his family, and asked others to stop thinking about his goddaughter.

So after he returned, he immediately had people prepare many expensive gifts and send them over, and he also wanted to hold a formal recognition ceremony, which had to be grand and known to everyone.

Now Lin Chong was a little panicked.

What is Manager Li trying to do?

If you just appoint someone as an adoptive father or daughter, then the people who know about it are often limited to a small number of people. Most people in the world are not aware of it and will not talk about it behind the back.

But now that Li Yan has done it in such a high-profile manner, I am afraid that no matter what achievements he makes in the future, jealous people will definitely attribute all the credit to his father-in-law.

It was originally a good thing to get promoted based on one's own ability, but now that this has happened, I'm afraid everyone will regard him as a nepotist.

But things have come to this point, and he didn't dare to refuse, otherwise he would offend Li Yan to death!

Lin Chong had no choice but to put on a sad face and force a smile, welcoming and seeing off guests and accepting all the gifts.

Li Yan was also very generous. Not only did he give away gold, silver, jewelry, silks, satins, rouge, powder, etc., he also gave her a large house with three rooms in front and four rooms in the back.

Lin Chong didn't dare to accept it and refused it, but the people sent by Li Yan said that it was for the eldest daughter, not for him, and he had to accept it. Not only did they force him to accept it, they also helped him move.

After arriving at the new house, Lin Chong discovered that this place was within the Daxiangguo Temple and not far from the residence of the immortal Zhan.

It can be seen from this that the chief eunuch of the palace did not work for nothing, he did his job as considerately as possible, and directly sent Madam Lin to the side of Master Zhan's bed, just waiting for Master Zhan to open his mouth and swallow her.

Li Yan made a big fuss about this matter and did not hide it from anyone. The powerful people in the capital immediately knew the news and were very curious and puzzled about his actions.

However, everyone knew that Li Yan was a profit-seeking person and would never do anything meaningless, so they inquired with each other and were shocked to find out that Lin Chong was not the protagonist, but Lin's wife Zhang Ruozhen was!
But intelligence is something that can put you far ahead if you are one step ahead. They only know this now, but it is too late for anything else. They won’t even have soup to drink.

The one who was most angry was Gao Qiu. It was clearly he who revealed the matter about Madam Lin to Li Yan, but he didn't know the most crucial details.

He had asked his stupid son about the details before, but who would reveal his shortcomings? So Gao Yanei used the writing style of the Spring and Autumn Period and deleted the content that he thought was not important, and only retained the parts he thought were important, especially the part where he was kicked away by the beauty.

So Gao Qiu just thought that his son was flirting with women in the temple and saying a few dirty words, and was caught by the fairies around Tianzun, who gave him a light punishment and a severe warning. Tianzun also tried to enlighten him, the destined person, to start practicing.

He always felt that his son should not have done anything too extreme, otherwise why would the Heavenly Master let him go so easily and even pass on the Dharma to him?

But Gao Qiu had no idea about the most crucial parts, such as Gao Yanei's intention to use force in the temple, and Master Zhan's shout of "Let me do it" and other details!
Otherwise, he would have taken action himself long ago. How could it be Li Yan's turn?

The more Gao Qiu thought about it, the angrier he became, so he rushed to Gao Yanei's residence, picked up a whip and started whipping his stupid son on the couch.

"I'll beat you to death, you evil beast!"

"How many things are you hiding from me, your father, huh?"

"Why don't you tell the truth now!"

"Ah..." Gao Yanei rolled on the ground as he was beaten, wailing non-stop, "Daddy, please stop hitting me. If you continue to hit me, my son will die..."

"Better beat you to death, so that I won't get angry when I see you!"

Gao Qiu cursed, but his men were much more lenient. Gao Yanei could sense it clearly, and rushed over crying, hugged Gao Qiu's legs, and wailed:

"Daddy, why are you so angry? What did I do wrong? Please tell me, Daddy. I will definitely change..."

Gao Qiu kicked him over, pointed his spear at him and cursed:
"Tell me again what happened when you saw Tianzun that day from beginning to end. Don't tamper with any details!"

Gao Yanei then realized why he was beaten. He dared not hide it any longer and recounted the whole story in detail.

After hearing this, Gao Qiu jumped up and kicked.

"How dare you ignore such an important matter, huh?"

Gao Yanei didn't dare to dodge, so he had to endure it with a bitter face, hesitatingly saying:
"Dad once taught me that we should avoid mentioning the names of respected people. He said that this is the essence of Confucianism and the rules of officialdom."

"So when I was telling the story, I filtered out the words that were not in line with my status as an immortal."

"Okay, so it's your father and I who are to blame?" Gao Qiu became even angrier and hit him even harder.

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

"Do you think I don't understand your little thoughts?"

"Mrs. Lin is so beautiful, and you are obviously still thinking about her!"

"You are so shameless that you can't even tell the difference between the serious and the minor!"

"Which one is more important, women or the Lord of Heaven? Can't you tell the difference?"

"As long as you learn something and become an immortal in the future, you can get any kind of fairy you want. Why do you have to be obsessed with Madam Lin?"

"I won't dare to do it again. Father, please spare my life..." Gao Yanei hugged Gao Qiu tightly and wailed continuously.

Gao Qiu was also tired of beating people, so he threw away the whip in his hand and shouted angrily:
"I'm putting this here. If I ever find out that you dare to compete with Tianzun for a woman, be careful that I will break your legs!"

"Hurry up and apply the medicine, and then come with me to the Li Mansion to attend Li Yan's family recognition banquet."

"Since things can't be changed, let's just be as kind as possible!"

Gao Yanei hurriedly crawled out of the bedroom and went to find a place to apply medicine.

Although Gao Qiu was cruel, he was his own son after all, and he only hit the thick skin and flesh. These were just flesh wounds. They looked scary, but did not cause any serious injuries.

Before, when Gao Qiu suddenly came to beat his son, all the hangers-on were silent as a mouse, kneeling on the ground and not daring to move. Seeing Gao Yanei limping out, the "old man" Fu'an hurriedly mustered up the courage to follow and helped Gao Yanei walk to the backyard.

When they arrived at the backyard, Fu An quickly took the medicine and asked the four maids "Chao Qin Mu Chu" to help apply the medicine to Gao Yanei. He stood beside them with a flickering look in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Gao Yanei's market value is on the rise now. As the future descendant of an immortal, he has a good chance of becoming an immortal. I wonder how many people want to work for Gao Yanei. These hangers-on have to try their best to curry favor with him, for fear that this great opportunity will be taken by someone else.

However, more and more people are coming to surrender. If they don't have some scheming and skills and make many new achievements, I'm afraid that even if Gao Yanei is nostalgic, he will be left out sooner or later.

Fuan has been troubled by this matter recently. Just now, he lay on the ground and heard a lot of secrets out of thin air. Finally, he got some ideas.

After a while, Gao Yanei's injuries were bandaged and Fu'an helped Gao Yanei out the door again. Seeing that Gao Yanei was unhappy, he wanted to go over and offer advice, but he was worried that there were many eyes and ears around him, so it was inconvenient for him to speak in case the news leaked out and the credit was diluted. So he had to endure it in secret and wait for an opportunity to be alone.

After Gao Qiu and his son reunited, they went out and took a carriage to Li's mansion.

The news that the chief eunuch Li Yan adopted a daughter to host a banquet spread throughout the city, but there were actually not many people who were qualified to enter the palace to drink. Most people just presented gifts in front of the palace and then had their names recorded in the gift book.

Gao Qiu and his son got off the car in front of Li's mansion and were respectfully welcomed by the housekeeper. When they arrived at the lobby, they saw that it was filled with rich and powerful people, with no ordinary people in the room.

Many people who were usually at odds with Li Yan also came this time, not to give face to Li Yan, but to give face to the goddaughter that Li Yan was about to accept.

The matter of Gao Yanei had now fermented, so upon seeing Gao Qiu and his son arrive, many powerful officials were very cordial and came over to say hello and make friends.

Even Li Yan was very polite. He put aside his social engagements to come over to greet him. When he saw him from afar, he laughed and bowed to express his gratitude.

"Haha...I'm sorry for not welcoming you, General!"

Gao Qiu also smiled and bowed in return:
"When I told you about this that day, I knew that the steward would definitely seize the opportunity."

"In the future, my son will study under Tianzun, and we will need help from both of our families in many matters."

Li Yan had no idea that Gao Qiu was deeply regretful at the moment. He only thought that Gao Qiu's own son had become a disciple of Tianzun, so he didn't care much about a fairy who might be adopted by Tianzun. After all, according to the intelligence, Tianzun had a lot of beautiful fairies around him, but he didn't seem to have any disciples. As the dignitaries of the time, they also instinctively valued boys over girls and looked down on those concubines. If they were to judge by themselves, they would also think that the status of the disciple must be higher than that of the fairy.

So at this moment, Li Yan was extremely grateful to Gao Qiu, and immediately patted his chest and promised:
"Don't worry, General. If we can really send this goddaughter to the Heavenly Lord, she will definitely not forget your friendship. She may not be able to do other big things, but it won't be difficult for her to persuade him."

The two old foxes held hands, looked at each other, and laughed out loud at the same time. They were extremely happy, which made everyone present very jealous.

Not long after, all the guests arrived, so Li Yan asked someone to go to the backyard to invite Lin Chong and his wife out to meet the many guests.

At this point, Lin Chong and his wife officially appeared.

After entering the living room, Lin Chong saw the room full of dignitaries. His knees couldn't help but go weak and his expression became nervous.

Before the ceremony began, Li Yan took Lin Chong's hand and introduced them to him one by one.

Lin Chong then went to pay his respects to each of them. Many officials, considering his wife's presence, were very friendly to him, but they were all a little strange and polite, not as friendly as Li Yan.

After greeting everyone, Lin Chong was led into the table and sat down.

The protagonist today is not him, but his wife Zhang Ruozhen. He can only watch from the side.

With his status, he was not qualified to sit here, but now, because of his wife's status, he also sat at the chief seat, at the same table with General Gao and others, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Especially Gao Yanei, who was looking at him sideways, his hostility was obvious and evident in his words.

Lin Chong was the instructor of the imperial army and worked under General Gao. Of course, he knew Gao Yanei, but he had no idea why Gao Yanei hated him so much.

He wanted to resolve the grudge, so he smiled and raised his glass to toast:
"Little Lin Chong, nice to meet you, sir. Have you ever had any misunderstanding with sir before?"

"Haha... no misunderstanding." Gao Yanei sneered and turned his head away, not even bothering to look at him, thinking that this was just cow dung under a flower.

Seeing Gao Yanei's attitude, Lin Chong felt unhappy, but he did not dare to lose his temper. He had to suppress it, but his desire for power in his heart increased even more.

At this table, except for Lin Chong and Gao Yanei who are juniors, the others are all big guys.

Gao Yanei ignored Lin Chong, so Lin Chong naturally didn't dare to speak rashly and chat with other bigwigs. He could only sit there awkwardly, listening to the conversation of several bigwigs in the court with his ears perked up.

However, with Lin Chong as a light bulb present, no one would mention any key content. They just chatted about some indifferent gossip and talked about some interesting stories in the court.

With the best man's loud shouts, the ceremony officially began.

All the guests sat at the seats below, and Li Yan sat upright in the armchair at the top. Madam Lin, dressed in gorgeous clothes, walked slowly and bowed down, calling him father. She held up the teacup in both hands and offered tea to Li Yan.

Looking at Mrs. Lin's dignified and elegant temperament, otherworldly appearance, and well-proportioned figure, Gao Yanei couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Gudu..."

The sound was not loud, but Lin Chong was sitting next to him, so how could he not hear it clearly? He was immediately shocked and angry.

He had long known the name of this Playboy and knew that he was a daring and shameless guy. Now that he found out that he had set his eyes on his wife, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was at a loss for a moment and didn't know how to deal with this dandy boy.

"Ha ha……"

Just as he was wondering, a burst of hearty laughter attracted Lin Chong's attention. When he looked again, he saw that Li Yan had finished his tea, put down the teacup, and was holding his wife's hand affectionately, with a kind face.

"My dear daughter, come here. This is a gift that Godfather prepared for you. Just accept it. If you need anything in the future, just tell me. Even if it is difficult, Godfather will find it for you."

"My daughter thanks godfather." Madam Lin bowed down and was then pulled up by Li Yan and led to the chief seat.

"These are your uncles. You should get to know them all to avoid any accidental clashes in the future."

Lin Chong hurriedly stood up to greet her, but was surprised to see that all the dignitaries at the table also stood up and greeted Mrs. Lin with a smile. They were even more polite than they were to him.

Lin Chong was stunned for a moment, feeling somewhat confused, but then he realized that this was definitely not to welcome his own wife, but to welcome Steward Li. The courtesy shown to his own wife must be out of consideration for her godfather's face.

Seeing that even Gao Qiu and his son were very polite, Lin Chong finally felt relieved.

Now he is no longer a small figure without a backer, so he doesn't need to be too afraid of Gao Yanei.

After all, Madam Lin was a female member of the family and it was inconvenient for her to stay here for a long time. So after meeting everyone and accepting their gifts, Li Yan had Madam Lin sent back to the mansion, and Lin Chong was naturally sent away as well.

After Lin Chong and his wife left, Li Yan smiled and started talking about business.

"My dear husbands, this banquet is for our adopted daughter, and on the other hand, I also want to discuss some serious matters with you."

"The first one is the matter of the 'Precious Medicine Compendium'."

"I think that General Gao has already submitted the memorial for the 'Precious Medicine Compendium', and everyone knows about Gao Yanei's fate as an immortal. Who knows, someone may have secretly planned to sabotage this matter."

"Regarding this, General Gao and I have discussed this matter. We both agree that this Heavenly Lord has just been born, and we don't know how many opportunities there will be for him to become an immortal in the future."

"If everyone is jealous of each other and fights with each other, you ruin my business and I ruin yours, then I am afraid that no one will benefit."

"So the two of us invited you all here today to unify our thoughts and reach a consensus."

"That's the matter of fate. Everyone should work hard to get it. Whoever gets it first gets it."

"You can choose not to help, but you can't hinder us, otherwise someone will retaliate in the future."

"Everyone should also understand that many times, many things are more likely to cause trouble than to achieve success!"

After hearing Li Yan's threatening words, everyone looked at each other, and then looked at Li Yan and the Gao family father and son who were sitting side by side. They knew that the two families had already formed a partnership and were far ahead, ahead of everyone else.

Few of the people present were good people, and they were indeed all planning to do bad things. Now, after hearing what Li Yan said, they just drank silently, and no one was willing to express their opinions.

Gao Qiu, who was nearby, saw this and started to play the good guy.

"This 'Precious Medicine Compendium' is of course only beneficial to us now, but if you all really get the chance to become immortals in the future, you may also need precious medicines. Do you think of asking people to search for them everywhere at that time?"

"Everyone should also know that we can't collect many of the world's natural treasures with our own means. We must rely on the power of the court, and we can't avoid the government."

"Why don't we do it in advance? Once the precious medicine is brought to the capital, we can plant it in the imperial garden first. When people really need it, how can we not get it?"

Everyone's eyes flickered, and they all felt that Gao Qiu's words made some sense.

Seeing that everyone's attitude was somewhat relaxed, Gao Qiu promised again:

"If my son's cultivation goes smoothly in the future, he will definitely have a say in the Heavenly Venerable. At that time, I will definitely speak well of you and help you get the chance to become immortals."

The group of old foxes turned a deaf ear to such empty talk, so Gao Qiu had to make another promise.

"Now that we know that the Heavenly Lord has some liking for beautiful women, I'm sure you will go to various places to participate in beauty pageants."

"Gao hereby promises that I will definitely matchmake for the beauties that each family will be offered. However, I will only allow one beauties per family, and I will not be able to provide more than one."

Everyone's eyes lit up and smiles appeared on their faces.

All other promises are empty, only this one is a real benefit that is easy to get!

"Haha..." Cai Jing was the first to raise his glass with a smile, "You two are right. We all want this chance to be immortal, so let's each rely on our own abilities. First come, first served. Don't hold others back."

After receiving the promise, everyone agreed to it.

"In that case, it's a deal."

Li Yan and the other man were overjoyed and drank the wine in their glasses, thus reaching a PY deal.

After eating and drinking, everyone went back home.

Tong Guan rode back home quickly, entered the mansion, grabbed the housekeeper and asked:
"Let me ask you, where is Jiaoxiu now?"

The butler quickly replied:

"The young lady is out for fun with Master Cai."

"Hmph!" Tong Guan snorted coldly, and swung his sleeves, saying, "Tell her to stop associating with Cai You's son, and have someone teach her to read some Taoist classics. I have chosen a better way out for her."

The housekeeper didn't understand what was going on, so he nodded in agreement and sent someone to bring his young lady back.

On the other side, Gao Qiu also returned home with his son.

When Gao Yanei saw Madam Lin again today, his heart and mind were filled with her shadow. He felt like he was suffering from lovesickness, but he dared not show it. He became more and more depressed. He took his leave and returned to his own courtyard. He drove out all the hangers-on and sat alone in the hall, feeling unhappy.

The "insider" Fu'an had discovered something wrong with Gao Yanei long ago. After being driven out, he found an excuse to separate from the other hangers-on, made a big detour, and came back to find Gao Yanei privately.

Whenever Gao Yanei closed his eyes, he would see Madam Lin's shadow. He felt hot all over and had no appetite. Even the five beautiful maids around him did not interest him.

Just when he was feeling depressed, he suddenly saw Fuan approaching again, and he yelled angrily:
"You bastard! Grandpa is in a bad mood and has no time to deal with you. Get out of here right now, or I'll beat you up!"

Seeing that there was no one around, Fu An was not afraid at all. He just came over with a smile and whispered:

"Yanei, are you still thinking about that young lady Zhang Ruozhen?"

Gao Yanei fixed his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and shouted:

"Fuck you!"

Fu An then said mysteriously:
"But I have a way to relieve Yanei's pain of missing you."

Gao Ya was slightly moved, but he didn't dare to offend the immortal and his father, so he sat down dejectedly, shaking his head with a bitter face.

"It's useless. Even if the young lady was standing naked in front of me, I wouldn't dare touch her. Otherwise, my father would be the first one to not let me go!"

"You misunderstood!" Fu An also shook his head and explained, "How dare I let you provoke that immortal?"

"But what you don't know is that Zhang Ruozhen is not an only child. She has a younger sister named Zhang Ruoyun. They are sisters from the same mother and look 80% similar."

"I have seen Zhang Ruoyun. She is very pretty and not much worse than her sister."

"Of course, the elder sister Yanei cannot be touched, but as for the younger sister... hehe..."

"Oh, are you serious?" Gao Yanei was so happy when he heard it that even his voice began to tremble.

Fu An knew that he had hit the nail on the head for Gao Yanei, and that he would most likely accomplish his mission. He immediately became happy and continued:
"How dare I deceive the young master?"

"What a coincidence! Zhang Ruoyun is now the wife of Lu Qian, the Marquis of Lu Yuhou. Lu Qian failed the military examination two years ago and became destitute. Unexpectedly, he was favored by the Grand Commandant and was fortunate enough to become his disciple. However, due to his humble background, he has not been given a high position."

"In other words, this Lu Yuhou is now Yanei's own subordinate."

"The young master has taken a fancy to his wife, and he wants to give her a bright future. This deal is so good, how dare he say no?"

After hearing this, Gao Yanei's longing for Fu An disappeared immediately and he became energetic again. He slapped Fu An on the shoulder and ordered:

"I'll leave this matter to you. As long as you do your job well, you will get your reward!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely get things done properly."

Fu An bowed and agreed. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Gao Yanei say:

"Don't let this matter out, especially don't let my father know, otherwise my father will definitely capture Zhang Ruoyun as well and send her to the Immortal Palace to please the Heavenly Lord, and then there will be no place for me!"

"Don't worry, Yanei, I'll save it."

Fu An waited for a while, and after confirming that Gao Yanei had no other instructions, he bowed and left.

When he got outside and saw that there was no one around, Fu An spat viciously on the ground and cursed with contempt:
"Pooh!"

"You have such a great opportunity to curry favor with the immortal, but you actually wasted it like this. How audacious!"

"You just have a good father, otherwise... humph!"

After a lot of self-pity, Fuan had to face the reality. No matter how unwilling he was, this opportunity would never fall on him.

He sighed, looked up at the sky, and strode towards Lu Yuhou's home.
