Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Should I Call Her My Master’s Wife?"Hehe... Let’s go, time to head home. Fang Bai, I really owe you one this time. To express my gratitude, I’ll cook a few extra dishes for you tomorrow!" Baili Mingyue put away her phone, rolled up the poster in her left hand, affectionately linked her right arm with Fang Bai’s, and walked with him out of the alley, strolling along the main street. Hearing Baili Mingyue mention cooking for him made Fang Bai develop an immediate headache. Recently, Baili Mingyue had grown increasingly passionate about cooking and even bought several cookbooks to study, but despite her efforts, her culinary skills remained mediocre and barely edible. Before, whenever Baili Mingyue cooked, Fang Bai would eat a large portion of it to avoid hurting her self-esteem and confidence. However, since he had taken Ghost Hand as his disciple, Fang Bai had finally escaped the "dire straits." Whenever Fang Bai couldn’t bring himself to eat her cooking, he’d let Ghost Hand "feast" on it. He would privately instruct Ghost Hand not only to eat but to eat happily, to praise the food incessantly, and after finishing, to act as if he was savoring the delicious aftertaste. If Ghost Hand complained or grumbled, Fang Bai would put on a serious face and tell him that enduring hardship is part of becoming a superior person. If he couldn’t stomach such trials, how could he cultivate martial arts and become powerful? Ghost Hand dared not argue out loud but would think to himself, how could cultivating martial arts be related to eating? Isn’t eating well beneficial for cultivation? Whenever Master took him out to eat, they would gorge on meat and drink heartily. Why didn’t he say that enduring hardship is the way to become superior then? "Being a disciple is to have no human rights!" Each time after Ghost Hand ate most of Baili Mingyue’s cooking with a fake smile on his face as instructed by Fang Bai, he could only silently lament in this way. After walking about ten meters, Fang Bai’s ears twitched, and he heard angry shouts and delicate admonishments about two hundred meters ahead. It sounded like someone was fighting there. Fang Bai looked forward, but due to the multiple layers of flowerbeds and trees, he couldn’t see clearly what was happening. However, based on the delicate chiding sounds, it seemed to be the superstar Ye Wumei making the noise. But Ye Wumei’s chiding didn’t last long before it abruptly stopped. "What is it?" Seeing Fang Bai’s unusual expression and his frown, Baili Mingyue asked curiously. Fang Bai was about to answer when he saw a black van burst from the curb, speeding down the wide avenue towards the distance, quickly disappearing from sight. From inside that black van, Fang Bai faintly sensed Ye Wumei’s presence and heartbeat, along with at least four Yellow Level Martial Artists. The four Yellow Level Martial Artists should all be women, with three being mid-Yellow Level Martial Artists and one being high-Yellow Level. Although it was only a momentary sensing, Fang Bai’s memory was exceptional. Even though he had not seen the faces of the four Yellow Level Martial Artists in the car, the next time they passed each other, he would recognize them just by their aura and heartbeat. "It’s nothing." Fang Bai guessed something might have happened to Ye Wumei, but since he was unacquainted with her, he had no interest in meddling in other people’s business. Besides, they were quite distant from each other, and the van was moving too fast. Even if he wanted to give chase now, he probably couldn’t catch up. When they arrived back at the courtyard, Jiang Yuzhi had already gone to rest while Ghost Hand was still awake, waiting to open the door for them. "Master, if you guys keep progressing, am I going to have to call her Mistress?" After watching Baili Mingyue return to her room, Ghost Hand snickered and whispered to Fang Bai. "You really have a wicked smile!" Fang Bai rolled his eyes and responded irritably, "Mingyue is still a high school student. I have no inappropriate thoughts about her." "What’s a high school student got to do with it? Didn’t she just celebrate her eighteenth birthday today? In the secular world, that’s considered adult and mature, time for the picking." "Pick your head!" Fang Bai slapped Ghost Hand on the head and said sternly, "Go back to your room and cultivate! In a while, I’m going to assess your cultivation progress. If it isn’t up to standard, I’ll punish you by making you eat Mingyue’s cooking every day!" Ghost Hand shivered in fright, immediately shut his mouth, and obediently returned to his room to sit in meditation and cultivate. The next day, in the early morning, Fang Bai and the now-recovered Ghost Hand headed to the mountains for cultivation. On their way back, before they even entered Yanjing City, Fang Bai’s mobile phone began to ring insistently. When Fang Bai saw Tang Wenrou’s name on the phone screen, he immediately pressed the answer button. "Fang Bai, want to make some money? There’s a big business opportunity!" Tang Wenrou’s first words immediately piqued Fang Bai’s interest. "Officer Tang, is there another reward for a wanted criminal?" "It’s not clear over the phone. If you have time, come find me at the Yanjing Police Station’s Major Crime Division. I’ll explain it to you in person." "You’re working on a Sunday too?" "Not just me, the whole Yanjing Police Station is working overtime! There’s been a major case!" "Alright, I’ll get to you before nine o’clock!" Fang Bai knew that if Tang Wenrou referred to it as a "big business opportunity" or a "major case," it was certainly an event that would cause a sensation. Fang Bai was also filled with curiosity. After returning to the courtyard house to wash up, Fang Bai hastily ate some breakfast and then rode his newly-bought motorbike to the Yanjing Police Station. For Fang Bai, riding a motorbike in Yanjing City was much more convenient and faster than driving a car. Upon arriving at the Yanjing Police Station, Tang Wenrou was seen sending one of her friends out the door. Fang Bai recognized Tang Wenrou’s friend; it was Dongfang Leiming’s granddaughter, Dongfang Rushi. "Hello, Doctor Fang." Dongfang Rushi, seeing Fang Bai here and also knowing Tang Wenrou, showed a hint of surprise in her eyes, then nodded and greeted him. "Hello." Fang Bai cracked a slight smile, thinking to himself that this Dongfang Rushi truly had character—always maintaining a poker face, no matter who she was in front of, in stark contrast to her romantically charming and adorable sister, Dongfang Ruhua. "You know Dongfang Rushi?" Tang Wenrou also did not expect Fang Bai to know Dongfang Rushi. After seeing her off, she asked Fang Bai casually. Fang Bai shared with her how he had once saved Dongfang Leiming. After listening, Tang Wenrou nodded and said, "Since you came to Yanjing, you have saved both Dongfang Leiming and Lu Jianfeng, becoming an honored guest of both the Dongfang Family and the Lu Family. That’s a good thing. As long as you manage your relationship with these two families well, it will be of great benefit to you in the future." With a nonchalant smile, Fang Bai knew what Tang Wenrou meant by "it’s always cool under a big tree"—as long as he maintained a good relationship with the Dongfang Family and the Lu Family, he could get along well in Yanjing in the future. —————————————————— PS: Seeing that a few friends have generously rewarded again...
