Qin Shi Huang: Swordsmanship begins with picking up Xiao Meng

Chapter 114 Dongjun, fooled by Jiang Yu

The next day dawned!
Dongjun walked out of Shao Siming's room. Whether it was to teach Shao Siming Yin-Yang techniques or to avoid someone was hard to say.

Because only when Shao Siming is by his side will someone not act recklessly.

Then, as Dongjun walked through the manor, he suddenly heard the sound of a zither, and his eyebrows involuntarily twitched.

Because the sound of the zither contained a strong killing intent, it was unusual, indicating that someone was practicing musical techniques.

But none of the people in the manor—her, that bastard, Shao Siming, Yan Lingji, and Honglian who comes often—are practicing this!
Who brought people back?

Dongjun didn't believe anyone could silently bypass that bastard's formation and break into the mansion.

Curious, Dongjun formed a hand seal, and a golden crow materialized, flying towards the source of the sound.

Jinwu quickly found its destination and arrived at a courtyard that had been empty the night before. Upon closer inspection, it saw two unfamiliar women.

The music was coming from a young woman.

Upon receiving feedback from Jinwu, Dongjun looked at the two women, both with exquisite and beautiful appearances, and seemed to understand who had brought them back.

He immediately headed towards Jiang Yu's room.

"lady!"

As soon as Dongjun entered the courtyard, Jiang Yu rushed over and opened her arms to hug him.

Unfortunately, Dongjun stepped back slightly and avoided the situation.

This caused Jiang Yu, who had been beaming with joy, to suddenly look dejected, and she said pitifully:

"Is my wife still angry with her husband?"

"Give birth to your head."

Looking at the smug face in front of him, Dongjun pursed his teeth, glanced at Jiang Yu's waist, and suddenly couldn't help but want to give Jiang Yu a slap.

"No, yesterday's aren't ready yet."

Jiang Yu quickly begged for mercy.

"Humph!"

Dongjun snorted coldly. If she were to get angry at someone as lazy as Wulan, she would have already killed herself with anger.

After calming himself down a bit, he gestured for Jiang Yu to pay attention to the music:
"You brought those two people back from your residence?"

"OK!"

Jiang Yu naturally knew that the two people Dongjun was referring to were Nongyu and Lady Hu:

"I wanted to tell Madam last night, but I couldn't find her."

After comforting Yan Lingji last night, Jiang Yu returned to her room, but she couldn't find Dong Jun, so Jiang Yu could only pitifully stay alone in her empty room.

"Not bad, they haven't even eaten what's in their bowls yet, and they've already brought back two more."

Dongjun praised with a smile, but it had a forced, insincere feel to it.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yu could only helplessly rub her forehead and shake her head slightly.
"My lady, there is something I really can't help but want to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Dongjun looked at Jiang Yu with her beautiful eyes, curious to see what the dog could possibly say.

"Madam, could you please stop reminding your husband? He hadn't even thought about it before."

Jiang Yu looked at Dong Jun with resentment in her eyes. How could she blame him?
Even without mentioning Yan Lingji, Dongjun, who wanted someone to share the burden, had already made it clear that Jiang Yu should eat Yan Lingji.

When Dongjun said, "I haven't eaten what's in the bowl yet," he was referring to Yan Lingji. In addition, Jiang Yu felt that Dongjun was definitely referring to Honglian as well as Yan Lingji.

Jiang Yu swore that at first, he simply wanted to take on a disciple and had no other intentions whatsoever.

But as soon as Dongjun saw Honglian, he said things like, "Not bad, you've tricked another young girl," and "You've even started playing with romance."

Even if Jiang Yu originally had no ulterior motives, he couldn't withstand Dongjun's repeated use of such words.

And now, Nongyu is doing the same thing; Dongjun has started again.

Upon hearing this, Dongjun's eyebrows furrowed:
"Oh! So it was my fault after all?"

"No, that's not true. My husband was just kindly reminding you."

Jiang Yu smiled and stepped forward, embracing Dong Jun. This time, Dong Jun didn't flinch, but seemed thoughtful about Jiang Yu's words. Was he really wrong? Should he have reminded Jiang Yu?
Only then did Jiang Yu have time to explain the situation of Nongyu and Lady Hu to Dongjun:

“Nongyu is the musician you met at Zilan Pavilion, whom you told me about before. She helped you break through to the next level. So, shouldn’t you repay her? That’s why you brought her out of Zilan Pavilion.”

As for the other one, it was Nongyu's mother, Madam Hu. She was an orphan and her mother, relying on each other for survival; her husband couldn't very well separate them, could he? So he brought her back as well.

Noticing a certain keyword in Jiang Yu's introduction, Dong Jun suddenly looked up at Jiang Yu with her beautiful eyes, hesitating to speak.

"what happened?"

Jiang Yu's eyes flickered; she didn't seem to have said anything wrong.

"nothing."

Dongjun ultimately swallowed back the words that were about to come out, because if he spoke up as Jiang Yu had just said, wouldn't that be reminding Jiang Yu?
As Jiang Yu gazed at the stunningly beautiful face before him, his eyes burned even more intensely.

Having learned from past mistakes, Dongjun immediately broke free from Jiang Yu's embrace.

Of course, the main reason was that Dongjun sensed someone was coming, which was Dongjun's last line of defense against the bastard in front of him.

"Master, Madam!"

The person who came was Yan Lingji.

"I am going tocook."

Dongjun glared at Jiang Yu, then turned and left.

Jiang Yu, on the other hand, turned and glared at Yan Lingji, who was grinning mischievously.

"You've come at just the right time."

"Hehe, Master, you said that when Madam speaks, it's to remind you."

Yan Lingji was completely unafraid, and instead said in a low voice:

"But if Madam doesn't speak up, wouldn't that be tantamount to consent?"

Yan Lingji suddenly realized that her mistress seemed a little silly and cute, completely unaware that she was being completely fooled by her bad master.

"Hmm, my fire-starting princess is really smart."

Jiang Yu reached out and gently pinched Yan Lingji's chubby little face, her face full of smiles, but looking at Yan Lingji, she felt a chill inexplicably.

Is this bad owner trying to kill me to silence me?

Yan Lingji's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly forced a smile and assured him:
"Haha, thank you for the praise, Master. Yan Lingji will definitely follow your lead from now on and will never betray you."

"Well, not bad, not bad."

Jiang Yu then turned her hand with satisfaction and gently stroked Fu Yanlingji's head.

Feeling the chill dissipate, Yan Lingji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then explained her purpose to Jiang Yu:
"Master, I want to go out for a while."

This is because, after last night's experience, Yan Lingji has a new answer to Jiang Yu's reminder.

"Go."

Jiang Yu naturally agreed.

"Thank you, Master."

Yan Lingji smiled sweetly, then turned and left. However, after taking only a few steps, she turned back and asked Jiang Yu:
"By the way, Master, what do you mean by 'Fire-starting Princess'?"

Yan Lingji only knew that this was a nickname Jiang Yu had given her, but she didn't understand its meaning.

"Uh!"

Jiang Yu chuckled softly, then said:

"You can think of it as a tinderbox!"

A tinderbox? That would certainly suit me well.

"Goodbye, Master."

Having satisfied her curiosity, Yan Lingji left happily.
