"Keep investigating. Tomorrow I will have the head maid fetch ten gold coins for you from the storeroom. Be careful with them."

"Thank you for your generosity, Your Excellency..."

(Yuan Hua's inner monologue: Damn, are you trying to fob me off like a beggar? I poked your daughter twice while she was asleep, and that was more than just a little bit.)

……

The night passed quickly, and the sun rose as usual...

"Yuan Hua, let's go, come to school with me."

Catherine noticed that Yuan Hua's door was ajar, so she pushed it open. Yuan Hua was sitting at the table by the window, lost in thought...

"What's wrong with you? Why are you sitting on the table instead of lying on the bed?"

"call----"

Yuan Hua breathed a long sigh of relief...

"I was a bit busy last night..."

Yuan Hua blinked wearily...

After he got home last night, he scrubbed himself eight times, almost peeling off a layer of skin.

After finishing, he went to Dinglan Village and cooked a big meal for Tulip, Jinjis, Katyusha, and Lilan. Then he went to the Magical Prison, glanced at Zeramiel's thigh, and comforted Kakarotia, Lilia, and Ruth.

Throughout the entire process, Yuan Hua didn't dare to touch them at all.

Last night, Yuan Hua was afraid of getting dirty from being too close to the black farm tools, so he didn't even carry Catherine back to the room until after she had taken a shower.

(P.S.: Longtime fans of Umaru-chan know that Umaru is an extreme dislike of farm tools. Once, a farm tool got on a bus, and Umaru immediately got off. She would rather wait for the next bus than be in a confined environment with a farm tool.)

"Speaking of which, what exactly did you do last night? Why did you give it to me, waah—"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Yuan Hua quickly covered Catherine's mouth...

"You sneaked out last night, did you want your father to find out? Do you still want your allowance?"

"whispering sound……"

Catherine reluctantly shut her mouth...

"Talking as we walk."

Yuan Hua jumped off the table, put on his shoes, and led Catherine out of the room...

"Things seem to be getting more and more chaotic..."

Yuan Hua couldn't help but feel a headache coming on...

Brooke wanted to rebel, and so did the princess. Brooke's wife and the princess were having an affair, but Brooke was unaware of it.

"Ascension, has the safe been cracked yet?"

【“…”】

……

Chapter 165 How to keep a simp hooked?

"The safe has been successfully hacked. Your decision not to open it rashly was very wise; there is indeed a self-destruct array inside."

Feisheng's tone carried a hint of weariness...

"I'll make a bold guess: there's probably more than one group plotting a rebellion."

[“What do you mean?”]

Yuan Hua immediately became interested.

"According to Mrs. Dorelli's file, she joined the farm tool party because of family discord. We can't confirm whether Brook is a member of the rebels, but we can assume that Brook is indeed a member of the rebel camp. In that case, he couldn't possibly be unaware of what Mrs. Dorelli is doing."

Feisheng gave a brief analysis, but Yuan Hua and she both felt something was off...

"Is there any possibility?"

Yuan Hua suddenly offered another guess.

"Brook is a cuckold; he's just using his wife to test me?"

"If you put it that way..."

Ascension was also somewhat shaken...

"It's not that it's untenable."

"Here's what I'm going to do: find me a party member who lives nearby, or someone whose husband is rarely home. I'll visit them tonight."

This is the only reliable and conservative method so far.

"No problem, I'll get it sorted out as soon as possible."

This is the only way for now. Feisheng agreed and sped up the process of reviewing the documents.

"What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and go! You're my study companion, why are you acting more like I am?"

Catherine looked at Yuan Hua with suspicion, her mind elsewhere so early in the morning.

"No, I was just thinking about something."

Yuan Hua shook his head slightly.

"Also, I got up very early and prepared lunch snacks."

"real?!"

Catherine's eyes lit up...

"Okay, let's go."

……

"Speaking of which, you haven't answered my question yet."

Catherine munched on her bread, then turned to look at Yuan Hua.

"What exactly did you do last night?"

"Are you sure you want to know?"

Yuan Hua took a sip of soy milk.

"Go ahead and say it, what can't you say?"

Since she was walking, Catherine also began to chew her food slowly and carefully.

"It's nothing really. Madam has to go on a long trip, and Master was worried about her, so he asked me to go and protect her."

Yuan Hua handed another cup of soy milk to Catherine.

"You're acting all sneaky, I have a feeling you're up to something. But speaking of which, when Mother came home this morning, I felt she had a really awful smell on her..."

Catherine frowned...

Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask.

Yuan Hua glanced at Catherine.

"By the way, what type of mage are you again?"

"I am a wind-type melee mage."

Catherine stretched her muscles and bones.

Want to test your skills with me?

"real or fake?"

Yuan Hua looked at Catherine suspiciously.

"I can't beat you in terms of magical power, but I'm quite confident in close combat."

Catherine raised her right hand, and a magic tattoo appeared on her arm. Yuan Hua frowned and quickly jumped away.

"Isn't that unnecessary? If we don't hurry, we'll be late."

Despite his words, Yuan Hua was already prepared for battle, and the Crimson Chain quietly slipped out from his sleeve.

"It's okay, being a little late won't cause any problems. You're my study buddy, isn't it normal for you to accompany me during training?"

Catherine seemed eager to try, but something about what she said felt off to Yuan Hua…

Isn't this the kind of talk he uses to fool girls?

No, no, this child has gone astray; I have to discipline him.

The floor tiles beneath Yuan Hua's feet suddenly exploded, cracks spreading rapidly outwards like a spider web, and a surge of immense magical power overflowed, condensing into a magical cloak...

"What a coincidence, I'm also a melee mage."

"!!!"

Catherine is so shrewish! She took off running!!!

……

"Do you still dare?"

Yuan Hua slapped Catherine across the face, finally venting his anger.

"I was wrong……"

When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Catherine looked at Yuan Hua pitifully, tears welling in her eyes...

You know what, Catherine is actually quite strong. I didn't realize she was born with superhuman strength.

Yuan Hua witnessed Catherine smash the tree blocking her way with a single slap. If it weren't for the indestructible nature of the Crimson Chain, she would have really gotten away.

"It won't happen again."

Yuan Hua retrieved the Crimson Chain and helped Catherine up.

She's the boss's daughter after all; it's not good to tie her up for too long.
