48: Cultivation speed increased once again!

After the recruitment team for Disciples arrived, the Arena Stage also began to be set up.

To verify their strength, every Disciple who signed up needed to spar with a member of the recruitment team.

This was to prevent any cases of misrepresenting one's strength.

Feng Mian and Huangfu Jing were still setting things up on the grounds.

Below the stage, quite a few people were discussing the latest interesting news in Liumian Prefecture.

"It's truly a once-in-a-lifetime sight; a younger brother marrying his Sister-in-law, even that works!"

"Indeed, it really is a novel occurrence."

"..."

Hearing these voices, the two of them couldn't help but be filled with curiosity.

"Feng Mian, did you hear what they said? A younger brother marrying his Sister-in-law? To think such a thing actually exists in this world?"

Huangfu Jing asked despite already knowing the answer, wanting to take the opportunity to stir up some trouble.

Feng Mian, unaware of the context, smiled and replied, "I haven't been back for a long time, so I don't know what rare things have been happening in Liumian Prefecture lately."

"I really haven't heard about this matter of a brother marrying his Sister-in-law."

Huangfu Jing nodded with a smile. "I can understand why you wouldn't know. It's just that this business of a brother marrying his Sister-in-law is truly quite novel. If it were me, I certainly wouldn't be pleased."

"If anyone were to marry my wife, I'd definitely disown my relatives and turn against my brother. What about you? Feng Mian, what would you do?"

Feng Mian was stunned; he had never considered such a question.

He answered honestly, "I haven't thought about it. But since we're biological brothers, I wouldn't be able to bring myself to strike him, though I certainly wouldn't be able to accept it. I'd go crazy."

Huangfu Jing gave Feng Mian a meaningful look, said nothing, and turned to leave.

A curve lifted the corner of his mouth, his face wearing an expression of someone waiting to watch a good show.

By the time Jiang Shuwan and Feng Ming had changed clothes and rushed over, Xinhe Street was already impassable.

Looking as far as the eye could see, there were dense crowds of people everywhere.

Feng Ming did see his elder brother setting up the Arena Stage and shouted a few times.

But it was too noisy, and his voice couldn't carry through at all.

Jiang Shuwan was even being pushed so much that she couldn't stand steadily.

After Feng Ming caught her and steadied her, he picked her up and placed her on his shoulders.

Jiang Shuwan was moved and shy, giving Feng Ming a light kiss on the cheek.

"Husband, you are so good to me."

Feng Ming smiled. "Of course, just look at whose husband I am."

"Good wife, quickly look and see where my elder brother is right now?"

Jiang Shuwan hummed in response and began searching through the crowd.

"Eh?"

Jiang Shuwan suddenly let out a sound of surprise.

Feng Ming asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Did you find Big Brother?"

Jiang Shuwan denied it. "No, Husband, I saw Sister Lu. She seems to be looking for someone too."

After saying that, she waved directly at Lu An'an.

"Sister Lu!"

Hearing the voice, Lu An'an instinctively turned her head and was stunned to see Jiang Shuwan actually sitting on Feng Ming's shoulders.

After a moment, she snapped out of it and nodded to the Jiang Shuwan couple.

And then... there was no 'then'.

Jiang Shuwan was taken aback.

"Husband, Sister Lu clearly saw us, why isn't she coming over?"

Feng Ming's lip twitched; he had a rough idea of why in his heart.

This Foolish Wife had written a love letter to her using his name; she probably had no idea how to face them right now.

"Husband, since Sister Lu isn't coming, let's go over there."

Feng Ming nodded and squeezed through with Jiang Shuwan.

By the time Lu An'an realized it, Feng Ming and Jiang Shuwan were already standing beside her.

Lu An'an was startled, and when she looked at Feng Ming, there was a hint of avoidance in her eyes.

Now Feng Ming was even more certain that Lu An'an had seen that love letter.

Seeing her reaction now, Feng Ming felt he needed to find an opportunity to explain things to Lu An'an.

He also wanted to know what Lu An'an's thoughts actually were.

Jiang Shuwan didn't feel at all that the trouble she'd stirred up had made Lu An'an feel awkward.

Getting down from Feng Ming's shoulders, she took Lu An'an's arm and asked with a curious expression, "Sister Lu, are you looking for someone?"

Lu An'an nodded. "I am indeed looking for a friend."

"But there are too many people, I can't see them at all."

Hearing this, Jiang Shuwan winked at Feng Ming. "Husband, since Sister Lu can't find her person, carry her on your shoulders so she can take a look and see if she can find that friend."

"Sister Lu, my husband is tall. If you sit on his shoulders, you'll definitely be able to see. Even if you can't find them, they should be able to see you."

Hearing this, Lu An'an's face turned bright red.

"This... wouldn't be appropriate."

"Were you two also looking for someone just now?"

Jiang Shuwan nodded. "It's fine, we're not in a hurry. My husband's elder brother is coming home, so even if we don't see him now, we should be able to see him later."

She just didn't know if the Eldest Uncle had seen Big Brother and told him about the situation.

"Your matter is important, let my husband carry you while you look."

Lu An'an hurriedly shook her head. "This, I'd better not. Let him carry you, you two look."

Hearing this, Feng Ming glanced at the two women being polite to each other, feeling quite helpless.

Other people's wives see other women as rivals in love, so why was his own Foolish Wife being so polite to someone?

"Well, I have plenty of strength. If you two don't mind, I can carry both of you at once, one on each side."

After saying that, he glanced at the two of them, whose faces were flushed red.

Forget it, they probably wouldn't be able to say much anyway.

He directly picked both of them up, one on each shoulder.

Jiang Shuwan was fine since she'd had the experience once before, but Lu An'an's face was so red it looked like it was dripping blood.

In all her years, this was the first time she had been so physically intimate with a man.

Jiang Shuwan, on the other hand, had hearts in her eyes as she looked at Feng Ming, her heart filled with love.

She understood her husband's thoughts; he was just afraid that if he only carried Sister Lu, she would be sad.

After all, no woman would feel good watching her husband carry another woman.

Even if it was the person she was constantly thinking about helping her husband marry.

It was just a casual action on Feng Ming's part, but unexpectedly, the System's voice actually rang out.

"[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully pampering your wife. Wife Jiang Shuwan's favorability is full and cannot be increased further!]"

"[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining System rewards: Inverting Dragon and Phoenix Art Elementary, Cultivation speed increased to 11 times, obtained one bottle of peiyuan pills and one bottle of Foundation Establishment pills (one hundred pills per bottle).]"

"[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully pampering your wife. Wife Lu An'an's favorability has increased to 45%!]"

"[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the System reward: The Way of Commerce required reading 'the weakness of human nature'.]"

Hearing the System's notification sounds, Feng Ming's lip twitched.

The System really wasn't his System.

The rewards given had absolutely nothing to do with him.

However...

After they could be gifted, a hidden reward would be triggered.

Thinking of this, Feng Ming was in a good mood.

It wasn't very convenient to give them away right now; everything would have to wait until later.

For now, it was better to find Big Brother first, or help Lu An'an find the person she was looking for.

While Feng Ming was deep in thought, Jiang Shuwan's voice suddenly rang out.

"Husband, I see your elder brother."

Feng Ming quickly looked up and happened to see Feng Mian standing on the Arena Stage, waving to him.

Immediately afterward, he stepped down from the stage.

However, Feng Ming didn't notice that not far from Feng Mian, there was a young woman as beautiful as a flower, whose gaze was also directed toward them.

However, her gaze landed on Lu An'an, her eyes wide, clearly filled with shock.
