Courtyard House: A System Connecting Two Worlds, Resources for the Nation

"Uncle-Master Zhou, why don't you come with me?"

Wang Yuyan's eyes darted around, and she suddenly thought of this idea. She looked at Zhou Feng with a slightly pleading expression.

The latter, however, still shook his head.

He doesn't like taking on this kind of responsibility.

If he was the one taking Wang Yuyan out, he would instinctively take it as his responsibility to take good care of her.

Wang Yuyan went to find Murong Fu, so what would it look like if he followed her around?

He protected Wang Yuyan all the way, and went to find Murong Fu, whom she fawned over. In the end, Zhou Feng was not even as good as a sycophant.

Not everyone can play the role of Duan Yu; at least Zhou Feng couldn't.

Besides, Zhao Pan'er and the others are still at Mantuo Manor, and Zhou Feng couldn't possibly abandon them and go out with Wang Yuyan.

Seeing Wang Yuyan lower her stance and speak to Zhou Feng with a hint of pleading in her voice, Bao Butong felt inexplicably displeased.

If Miss Wang and my young master can really get married, then Wang Yuyan will be his mistress in the future.

How can this be allowed? The mistress of the house is getting along with other men like this.

"Miss Wang, there's no need to say too much. Even if this man were her uncle, so what? Just come with us. If anything happens, my young master will take responsibility!"

Bao Butong knew he was no match for Zhou Feng, so he could only bring up Murong Fu's name in the hope that it would make Zhou Feng wary.

Unfortunately, to Zhou Feng, Murong Fu was no different from any other passerby. He merely glanced coldly at Bao Butong and said, "If you open your mouth again, I will absorb your power, pull out your teeth, and tear out your tongue. Try me if you don't believe me."

Noticing Zhou Feng's attitude, A Zhu and A Bi quickly stood up. The former went to Zhou Feng's side and gently comforted him, while the latter blocked Bao Butong, who was still sitting, with her body and turned around, constantly giving him meaningful glances.

Originally, Zhou Feng and they got along very harmoniously.

It's all because of Bao Sange's mouth that he turned people into enemies for no reason!

If it were someone like Yao Bodang or Sima Lin, offending them wouldn't be a big deal; all that would be done is kick them out.

But with Brother Zhou's martial arts skills, even the young master would have to go to great lengths to defeat him. Brother Bao has offended him so rashly. If Brother Zhou offends Yanziwu, what kind of trouble will that bring to the young master?

Besides, Brother Zhou had already shown him mercy, and it was only after they begged him that he did so, and now he's talking like this!

Although their actions still showed they were protecting Bao Butong, the two girls had already developed a great deal of resentment towards him.

"Alright, Yu Yan will go back with her martial uncle now. But my cousin's situation is critical, so I hope her martial uncle can put in a good word for Yu Yan with my mother..."

Although Zhou Feng had made some harsh remarks to them and had not agreed to Wang Yuyan's request, after spending some time with him, Wang Yuyan could sense that Zhou Feng was not the kind of rigid, rule-abiding person, which is why she asked him for help.

Sure enough, seeing the slightly expectant look in Wang Yuyan's eyes, Zhou Feng remained silent for a moment before nodding.

This girl had never been to the martial arts world before, and all her understanding of it came from Murong Fu's retellings, so naturally she would admire him.

If he were to take her on a journey through the martial world, letting her see Xiao Feng, Shaolin Temple, and Lingjiu Palace, Wang Yuyan's feelings for Murong Fu would surely fade by at least three points.

Since Zhou Feng is determined to win over the girl, there's no reason for him to fail.

Leaving Azhu and Abi to clean up the mess in Swallow's Nest, they hired a servant to row a boat and then led Zhou Feng and the others to Mantuo Manor...

Although it was getting late, Wang Yuyan's desire to go into the martial arts world to find her cousin remained unaffected!

He wished he could go back to Mantuo Manor with Zhou Feng right now and persuade his mother!

After everyone returned to Mantuo Manor, she immediately took Zhou Feng straight to Li Qingluo's bedroom.

"Mother! I have something important to discuss with you!"

Zhou Feng's lips twitched as he watched Wang Yuyan banging on Li Qingluo's door.

This girl used to seem intelligent and well-mannered, so how did she become like this after getting involved with Murong Fu?

Is being obsessed with love really that scary?

"What urgent matter do you have in the middle of the night?"

Li Qingluo frowned and opened the bedroom door. Before Wang Yuyan could speak, she met Zhou Feng's gaze from behind.

"Bang!"

The door was tightly closed. Li Qingluo, who was still inside the room, blushed and wanted to scold her daughter, but she couldn't bring herself to do so because Zhou Feng was still outside.

She only heard Wang Yuyan's voice, so she didn't bother to change her clothes when she opened the door; she was just wearing a light bathrobe.

Who would have thought that when their daughter knocked on the door, Zhou Feng was actually behind her!

While Li Qingluo was changing her clothes, Zhou Feng clicked his tongue outside the door.

Goodness, I couldn't see it clearly before, but this time I can see it very clearly.

I never imagined that my son would have such great potential after he grew a few more years!

Li Qingluo's state just now was practically comparable to that of a succubus!

Her face was stunningly beautiful, and beneath it was a sheer veil that seemed to reveal her figure. Who could resist that?

If he were naked and smooth, Zhou Feng wouldn't have reacted so strongly. It's precisely this half-concealed state that makes it so hard for him to lose his composure!

After a short while, Li Qingluo opened the door again and said irritably, "Come in! What important business could you possibly have at this hour? Tell me!"

Wang Yuyan noticed that her mother's expression was not good, but she was not in a hurry. She smiled and led Zhou Feng into the room, and then began to tell Li Qingluo about Yanziwu.

After recounting the story of how Zhou Feng dealt with those people in a long and rambling manner, she finally went around in circles and brought up the matter of Murong Fu.

"Mother... You see, I've been staying in the manor all these years and haven't seen much of the world, let alone experienced the martial arts world. Now that my martial uncle is by my side, why don't I go out with him and... and also go see how my cousin is doing?"

Wang Yuyan didn't notice that as she finished speaking, Li Qingluo's expression grew increasingly unpleasant.

"No way! I knew you wouldn't go to Swallow's Nest for anything good. I only sent you out because I was worried you'd be anxious, but I never expected you'd have such thoughts!"

When Li Qingluo scolded her, Wang Yuyan's excited expression hadn't faded yet. Her smile froze on her face, becoming somewhat distorted, which almost made Zhou Feng burst out laughing.

Hearing Zhou Feng suppressing a laugh, Wang Yuyan suddenly turned her head and glared at him, frowning and constantly giving him meaningful glances.

On the way back, Zhou Feng had already promised to help her persuade Li Qingluo, but now he was just standing by and watching her make a fool of herself. How could that be allowed?

"What kind of riddle are you two playing?"

Li Qingluo looked at Wang Yuyan suspiciously, then at Zhou Feng, who couldn't help but curl his lips upward: "I'll handle this. Yuyan, you go back to your room first, and I'll discuss it with you tomorrow."

Upon hearing Zhou Feng's words, Wang Yuyan immediately puffed out her cheeks, looking as if she didn't want to leave.

Unexpectedly, Li Qingluo also looked at her: "Listen to your martial uncle, you should go back first!"

Looking left and right, Wang Yuyan finally let out a soft hum and turned to leave Li Qingluo's room.

She hadn't expected that her departure would leave Zhou Feng and Li Qingluo alone in the room.

Let alone the Song Dynasty, even in 2026 of this world, a man and a woman alone in a room would gradually create an awkward atmosphere.

Li Qingluo naturally noticed the unusual situation, and coupled with what had happened when she knocked on the door, a blush involuntarily crept onto her cheeks: "Just say what you want to say."

Zhou Feng coughed lightly, remembering the awkward situation just now, and stiffly shifted his gaze to the side.

"Since Senior Sister wants me and Yu Yan to develop a relationship, it's only natural to take her out with me. If she doesn't see Murong Fu and then give up on him, how can I stay here if she has someone else in her heart?"

Li Qingluo rolled her eyes at Zhou Feng, annoyed: "Although I also look down on that Murong Fu who is all talk and no action and who daydreams every day, Yu Yan and he are childhood sweethearts and have a deep relationship. You are very confident."

"Don't worry, I don't even consider Murong Fu a threat. Besides, didn't my senior sister say she wouldn't force Yu Yan and that I would have to get her consent? This is also a chance for us to get to know each other."

Zhou Feng waved his hand casually.

He was more than 1000 years ahead, and with the resources behind him, he couldn't even compete with Murong Fu when it came to chasing girls.

Young girls like Wang Yuyan, who are naive and inexperienced in the ways of the world, are the easiest to win over.

So what if we're childhood sweethearts?

If Lin Pingzhi could snatch Yue Lingshan away from Linghu Chong, then winning over Wang Yuyan would be a piece of cake for him.

Seeing that Li Qingluo's expression didn't change, Zhou Feng suddenly thought of something and added, "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I've always kept Duan Zhengchun's matter in mind. This time, I'll take Yu Yan out and resolve Duan Zhengchun's matter for you when we get back."

"Haha, junior brother, you're too kind. Since you're so confident, then take Yu Yan with you, but you must ensure her safety."

"Don't worry, Senior Sister."

A smile appeared on Zhou Feng's face.

As expected, they are all love-struck and have inherited each other's traits. When Wang Yuyan, the daughter, heard that Murong Fu was in trouble, she lost her composure.

After Duan Zhengchun was mentioned, this mother wasn't much better than Wang Yuyan.

While marveling at the scene, Zhou Feng suddenly caught sight of Li Qingluo laughing and tumbling around. He immediately recalled the scene he had witnessed when he opened the door and his eyes widened involuntarily.

Li Qingluo immediately realized what was going on and glared at Zhou Feng, annoyed. "Since you've already agreed, why don't you hurry back and rest?"

Zhou Feng then gave an awkward smile, got up and took his leave.

Tonight, I'll have to trouble Pan'er and San Niang to help him put out the fire.

One is known for her looks, the other for her figure; together they're not much less attractive than Li Qingluo…

Early the next morning, Wang Yuyan arrived at the courtyard where Zhou Feng and the others were resting.

She had already checked with her mother, and to her surprise, Zhou Feng had actually convinced her mother to let her leave Mantuo Manor!

From Li Qingluo's bedroom to Zhou Feng's courtyard, Wang Yuyan felt as if she had mastered the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) without any instruction, and her whole body was about to float away.

However, when she tried to knock on Zhou Feng's door, she was stopped by Qin Jingru and Zhong Ling.

Having followed Zhou Feng for so long, the former naturally knew his habits.

Neither Sister Pan'er nor Sister San Niang have gotten up yet, which means they must have been up very late last night. Of course, we can't let Wang Yuyan disturb Zhou Feng's rest!

Zhong Ling had no idea what was going on; she was just foolishly following Qin Jingru.

"Miss Wang, is there something you need from seeing Brother Feng so early?"

Facing Qin Jingru, Wang Yuyan made no attempt to hide anything and directly told her about Zhou Feng's promise to take her to find Murong Fu.

Before Qin Jingru could say anything, Zhong Ling, who was standing to the side, had already become excited.

Mantuo Villa is, in the end, just a villa. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, you'll see most of it after walking around.

She still longed to venture into the martial world, and now that she learned Zhou Feng had agreed to leave, she was naturally overjoyed.

In addition to the Murong clan of Gusu, the Beggars' Sect is also involved. With both Xiao Feng of the North and Murong of the South gathered together, how exciting and lively this is!

As Wang Yuyan narrated, Qin Jingru also became excited.

They were both young girls, and her personality wasn't too different from Zhong Ling's. Especially after she no longer had to worry about her family's resources and money, she became much more innocent.

Even though they were excited, the two women didn't intend to disturb Zhou Feng's rest. Instead, they took Wang Yuyan to the outer hall to wait.

Compared to the excitement they wanted to see, they valued it more to let Zhou Feng get some rest.

The only one who was restless in the entire courtyard was Wang Yuyan, who had been dragged away by Qin Jingru and Zhong Ling!

After the sun was high in the sky, Zhou Feng leisurely led Zhao Pan'er and Sun San Niang out. After the group had lunch, they went to say goodbye to Li Qingluo.

The latter did not object too much, but instead withdrew some money from the accounting office for Wang Yuyan to take with her. After all, she had never traveled far before, so he needed to give her some instructions.

After noon, the group left Mantuo Villa and traveled along the river by boat.

Sitting in the cabin, Zhao Pan'er suddenly remembered that after she first met Zhou Feng, she dared to board his ship and go to Tokyo with him.

Unexpectedly, in a short period of time, the original Zhou Guanren became a Celestial Master, then an Official, and now he is even an immortal who can travel between different worlds!

She transformed from a mere merchant girl into an empress, ruling the world, and then followed Zhou Feng to another world!

Looking back now, it even feels like a dream.

The group traveled by boat and arrived at the outskirts of Wuxi in a short time.

"Let's go! We've been on the ship for so long, it's time we went ashore to rest!"

After Zhou Feng disembarked, he even had a hint of excitement on his face. It seemed like the story of Xingzilin was about to begin!

This is also the easiest time to befriend Xiao Feng!

As for Duan Yu… I think he left Mantuo Manor…

After all, knowing in advance that Wang Yuyan was her younger sister was quite a blow.
