Being Yue Buqun’s Disciple, My Master’s Wife is Teasing Me! Chapter 4: The masters wife is mine, so is the masters daughter!
Previously on Being Yue Buqun’s Disciple, My Master’s Wife is Teasing Me!...
The occupants of the bed were jolted by the abrupt intrusion.
However, Yang Huan's reaction was astonishingly swift.
The instant Yue Lingshan forced the door open, he vaulted onto the roof with remarkable agility.
A graceful leap saw him land silently atop the room's central beam.
Ning Zhongzhi exclaimed in wonder, "What an incredible lightning technique."
Without a moment's hesitation, Ning Zhongzhi gathered the discarded clothes of both individuals, tucking them beneath the blanket.
Upon entering, Yue Lingshan perceived nothing out of the ordinary.
Nevertheless, Ning Zhongzhi immediately chided, "You impudent girl! Did Mother not teach you? When entering your parents' chamber, one must knock and seek permission!"
Observing Ning Zhongzhi lying on the bed, still concealed by the blanket, Yue Lingshan surmised the situation.
She promptly offered an apology, stating, "Mother, I realize my error. I am truly sorry.
I merely saw Father had already departed, so I entered directly."
Following Yue Lingshan's explanation, Ning Zhongzhi felt a sense of helplessness, tinged with a hint of vanity.
Consequently, she didn't dwell on the matter and instead inquired, "What brings you here?"
"Mother, did we not agree yesterday that you would accompany me down the mountain to select fabric for a wedding dress?" Yue Lingshan inquired.
It was at this juncture that Ning Zhongzhi recalled her prior arrangement with her daughter.
"Mother remembers. Now, please step outside for a moment."
Ning Zhongzhi gestured for Yue Lingshan to exit the room.
Yue Lingshan, without further thought, turned and departed.
Only after her departure did Yang Huan descend from the room's beam.
Ning Zhongzhi tossed his clothes at him, lamenting, "This is entirely your fault. You arrived so early this morning and nearly caused Lingshan to discover us."
"Heh heh, my lady, it was bound to be discovered sooner or later anyway. No harm done," Yang Huan replied nonchalantly.
Yet, the close call when Yue Lingshan arrived had undeniably been nerve-wracking.
As Ning Zhongzhi looked at Yang Huan now, a swirl of emotions filled her heart.
She felt as though she had entangled herself in a significant predicament.
This disciple was, she suspected, far from the simple individual he appeared to be!
"Huan'er, observing your aura, when did you achieve the Houtian realm?" Ning Zhongzhi inquired.
"Yesterday, my lady, shortly after entering this Houtian state of yours," Yang Huan quipped, attempting a playful remark.
Ning Zhongzhi grimaced, urging, "Cease your jesting. I am asking with sincerity!"
"I am being truthful; I merely broke through yesterday," Yang Huan responded, his tone now serious.
"So, that implies your cultivation technique is..."
"My lady."
Yang Huan interrupted Ning Zhongzhi directly, deftly changing the subject. "Do you truly intend to allow Senior Sister to marry Lin Pingzhi?"
He understood Ning Zhongzhi's unasked question, but Yang Huan had no desire to address it.
As a Houtian expert, Ning Zhongzhi could readily discern that the lightning skill Yang Huan had just displayed was not the standard Huashan Lightning Skill.
Furthermore, Yang Huan's previously mediocre martial prowess had suddenly improved dramatically, a development easily arousing suspicion.
Unsure how to provide an explanation, Yang Huan swiftly shifted the conversation.
It appeared Ning Zhongzhi perceived the unspoken anxieties on Yang Huan's mind, and the question he posed now mirrored her own persistent worries.
A fortnight prior, she had begun to suspect that something was amiss with Yue Buqun.
After considerable investigation, she discovered that Yue Buqun was, in fact, practicing the Bixie Swordplay Manual!
The dire consequence of practicing the Bixie Swordplay Manual was self-inflicted death by the sword!
Moreover, the Swordplay Manual evidently originated from the Lin family's martial arts lineage!
The catastrophic downfall of the Lin family stemmed directly from the Bixie Swordplay Manual.
What would Lin Pingzhi do if he discovered Yue Buqun possessed the Swordplay Manual?
While he might be powerless against Yue Buqun himself, the same couldn't be said for Yue Lingshan!
He would undoubtedly seek retribution upon Yue Lingshan, leaving her to bear the brunt of his suffering.
"It is true that Lingshan harbors affection for Pingzhi, but their proposed marriage is born solely from your Master's avarice.
Pingzhi is undeniably an unsuitable match for Lingshan. If there were any alternative, I would fervently wish for Lingshan to avoid marrying Pingzhi."
Ning Zhongzhi declared, shaking her head.
Despite her profound reluctance, she felt powerless to intervene.
Even now, she remained uncertain whether she should expose Yue Buqun's transgression.
Yang Huan observed Ning Zhongzhi, perceiving the complex emotions reflected in her eyes.
He understood that despite their recent intimacy, Ning Zhongzhi still harbored feelings for Yue Buqun.
It could even be argued that Ning Zhongzhi's decision to engage in intimacy with him stemmed from a place of profound love for Yue Buqun, culminating in an act born of conflicting emotions – love intertwined with resentment.
Yang Huan, naturally, wished to avert such a tragic outcome.
After all, Yue Buqun was certain to seek his demise, necessitating his own plan to eliminate Yue Buqun.
Yang Huan understood that challenging Yue Buqun at this moment might not yield victory, and even if he succeeded in killing him, Ning Zhongzhi's heart might not shift away from her husband. It was possible that Ning Zhongzhi would still harbor guilt towards Yue Buqun, leading to further emotional turmoil.
Therefore, if Yang Huan wished to improve Ning Zhongzhi's predicament, he first needed to devise a method for her to witness Yue Buqun's true nature before contemplating his demise.
However, to truly win Ning Zhongzhi's affection, he recognized the necessity of dedicated effort.
An opportune starting point would be to engage with Yue Lingshan.
Yang Huan promptly voiced his agreement, stating, Madam, your assessment is accurate. Lin Pingzhi is indeed an unsuitable match for Senior Sister!
While this Lin Pingzhi may appear straightforward, his mind is remarkably complex. Furthermore, he carries the heavy burden of a deep blood feud, which could easily push him to act rashily.
Should he discover Master's intentions to acquire the Swordplay Manual, he would undoubtedly resort to extreme measures to exact revenge upon Master!
Ning Zhongzhi nodded in concurrence, expressing her concern, I comprehend your reasoning, but if Lingshan holds affection for him, and if your master intends to proceed with the arrangement, what recourse do we have?
It is quite simple.
Yang Huan's expression turned grave as he made a throat-slitting gesture towards Ning Zhongzhi.
With the Evil Deeds System now integrated into his being, committing murder would undoubtedly be classified as an evil deed.
However, the specific target for such an act was not yet decided by Yang Huan.
He was not a bloodthirsty individual who would indiscriminately end lives.
Upon consideration, he concluded that Lin Pingzhi would serve as an ideal candidate.
Eliminating Lin Pingzhi would serve a dual purpose: preventing Yue Lingshan's marriage to him and simultaneously activating the system, thus achieving two objectives with a single action.
Nevertheless, Ning Zhongzhi was visibly taken aback, astonished by Yang Huan's ruthless proposition!
She immediately protested, No, absolutely not! Pingzhi is an unfortunate soul; our family has wronged him, and how could we possibly...
Madam, I am aware of your compassionate nature, so allow me to undertake this task!
Yang Huan declared with unwavering conviction, Evil deeds, I shall commit them! Filthy work, I shall handle it! For Madam's sake, I am prepared to do anything!
Witnessing Yang Huan's resolute gaze and his forthright declaration, Ning Zhongzhi found herself captivated.
