Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

Chapter 170: Either Forced or Lured

That level 60+ soul power was like a blazing sun hanging in the sky, dazzlingly bright and completely naked in his perception.

Even Zhu Zhuqing's aura was slightly inferior.

That's right, it's the eldest of the three Zhu sisters—Zhu Zhuyun!

If Zhu Zhuyu had knocked on his door late at night, he might have thought it was perfectly normal;

But the person in front of him was none other than the usually cold and composed Zhu Zhuyun. For a moment, he even paused for a beat.

In the instant he was stunned, Zhu Zhuyun leaned forward, her fingertips hooking around his clothes, and took the initiative to tear open the last barrier.

The night flowed silently, and the morning light quietly climbed onto the windowpane.

As the sky began to lighten to gray, Zhu Zhuyun vanished into the morning mist without a sound.

When Lin Quan met up with the Zhu Zhuqing sisters and the old poisoner at the town entrance, preparing to set off on their return journey—

Zhu Zhuyun had already driven the carriage ahead of her, leaving only the soft sound of the wheels rolling over the gravel.

On the way back, Lin Quan hesitated several times, his gaze shifting back and forth across Zhu Zhuqing's face.

Zhu Zhuqing, however, seemed to have expected this. She glanced at him sideways and rolled her eyes.

"What happened last night was my eldest sister's own choice."

Swah——

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Lin Quan's face, and his ears felt slightly hot.

It turned out that Zhu Zhuqing woke up right after Zhu Zhuyun stepped out of the room;

When she drove away in the early morning, she made no attempt to hide anything and frankly explained the matter.

At first, Zhu Zhuqing did feel a pang of bitterness, like having a half-ripe green plum in her mouth.

But the thought of the women around Lin Quan instantly dispelled the slight bitterness that had just welled up in Zhu Zhuqing's heart. Even more subtly, not only her eldest sister Zhu Zhuyun, but also her second sister Zhu Zhuyu, who had returned to Tian Dou with them, quietly surfaced in her mind—

If serving Lin Quan is truly necessary, then she doesn't have to bear the burden alone.

The moment the thought crossed her mind, Zhu Zhuqing's gaze involuntarily fell on Zhu Zhuyu, and she began to scrutinize her.

With her tall and slender figure and face completely restored due to the reforging of her martial soul, Zhu Zhuyu was like a spring stream, gentle, tranquil, and charming, compared to Zhu Zhuqing's cold and sharp demeanor.

Perhaps because she had experienced the ordeal of having her martial spirit destroyed and being reborn, there was always a faint smile in her eyes and brows, unassuming yet warm in just the right way.

"From now on, keep a close eye on the movements of the Star Luo Empire..."

"If...if there is any disturbance on Zhu Yun's side, we will rush to his aid immediately."

Now that Zhu Zhuyun has become one of his own, Lin Quan will not stand idly by, no matter what she plans or where she plots.

"Um……"

Before Lin Quan could finish speaking, Zhu Zhuqing had already softly agreed.

Even if he doesn't say anything, she will keep an eye on Zhu Zhuyun's whereabouts, safety, and movements every day—a habit that is already ingrained in her bones.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the group finally returned to Tiandou City.

As soon as the old poisoner entered the city, he took two jars of aged wine from Lin Quan and hurriedly took his leave.

Along the way, he did nothing but watch Lin Quan and Zhu Zhuqing go back and forth, whispering sweet nothings to each other, his mouth swelled with the dog food, and he didn't want to stay for even a moment longer!

"Second sister, this is our accommodation in Tiandou City. We'll settle down here from now on..."

"Um……"

Zhu Zhuyu listened to her younger sister's introduction with a smile, her lips always curved, her eyes gentle, like a breeze swaying on the willow branches in early spring.

"Zhuqing, accompany your second sister for a walk around Tiandou City..."

"If you need anything, just call Old Poison Master."

"With his current cultivation level, unless the Pope of the Spirit Hall personally arrives, or the Grand Elder personally intervenes..."

"In this Heavenly Dou City, there is no one who can make him even frown."

Before Lin Quan could finish speaking, Zhu Zhuqing already understood—

He's leaving, bidding farewell to the world of Martial Souls.

"Don't worry, Brother Quan, my second sister and I are both fine. You just go and do your thing."

It wasn't that she was arrogant. Looking across the entire Heavenly Dou arena now, the only one who could truly overpower her was probably a level 99 Peerless Douluo. But even if that person really came to her door, she could escape as easily as taking a stroll in a garden.

"Second sister, let me show you around!"

Before she finished speaking, Zhu Zhuqing had already taken Zhu Zhuyu's wrist and turned to leave the manor.

Watching the two sisters walk further and further away until their presence completely faded from his senses, Lin Quan's mind stirred slightly, and his figure suddenly vanished.

Swah——

When I opened my eyes again, I was standing in my own courtyard in the main world.

A glance around revealed that Wang Yuyan and Chen Xueru were practicing their martial arts in front of the bluestone steps, their clothes fluttering and their breathing deep and rhythmic.

Upon seeing him appear out of thin air, the two were first taken aback, then their eyes lit up and they quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"My husband..."

"Brother Quan!"

Before they could speak, Lin Quan reached out and pulled them both into a firm embrace.

He relaxed slightly after a moment and asked in a deep voice, "Has the main world been peaceful these past few days?"

Chen Xueru met his gaze, and without any pretense, spoke frankly and clearly:

Everything was normal, except for the courtyard house at number 95 next door, which was in complete chaos, making people both laugh and cry—

Three days ago, He Daqing abandoned his children and eloped with a widow overnight.

In just three days, the news had spread throughout Tongluoguxiang, becoming the talk of the town.

Even more coincidentally, under Wang Yuyan's guidance, Chen Xueru had completely refined and integrated the newly acquired soul ring into her own power.

After hearing this, Lin Quan raised an eyebrow. He really hadn't expected that the main world would become so lively after he had only been gone for a few days.

However, when he thought of the promise he made to He Daqing to take care of He Yushui, he realized that he had made a promise to him.

Lin Quan had barely finished thinking about it when he casually asked, "How's it going next door?"

"I heard that before dawn, He Daqing's children went after him to Baoding..."

After giving a brief answer, Chen Xueru changed the subject and added:

"But in my opinion, it's most likely a wasted trip."

Although she had never met those people next door, she couldn't say she was familiar with them;

But from Lin Quan's earlier account of the ins and outs of He Daqing's hasty departure, it was clear that there was a scheme involved—either he was forced or he was lured.

Upon hearing this, Lin Quan smiled slightly and chuckled, "Xue Ru is still the most insightful."

"Those guys over there, some are dead, some are hiding, their minds are all wandering in the gutter..."

"They're all driving themselves crazy."

He paused, his gaze darkening slightly, before continuing:

"When the brother and sister come back, ignore the older one."

"The younger one—since I promised He Daqing, I have to keep my word."

"If anything goes wrong, Xue Ru, please keep a close eye on things."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xueru nodded in agreement without the slightest hesitation.

Just as they finished talking about what happened next door, before Lin Quan could even speak, Wang Yuyan, who had been sitting quietly without saying a word, suddenly looked up and asked softly:

"Now that Brother Quan has returned from the Martial Soul World, things should be completely stable for Sister Zhu Qing, right?"

Lin Quan nodded readily: "Yes, the general plan is settled."

"From now on, just focus on your cultivation and climb higher step by step."

"I'm going to take a shower and soak in the water to relax."

Before he finished speaking, he gently patted the two women on the shoulders and turned to walk towards the bathroom.

Nearly an hour later, Lin Quan strolled out slowly, still damp from the water, and lazily wandered into the courtyard.
