39: Chapter 39 Young Master, You're So Bad

Afterward, Zhou Zheng sighed and said somewhat helplessly:

"However, this General Qin Bei is a confidant of the City Lord of Yunzhou, and he is currently leading troops on a secret mission. Chang Feng is his lieutenant. Without solid evidence, it's difficult to bring him down based solely on our words. This matter can only wait until General Qin returns. I will then confront him in front of the City Lord to seek justice for you!"

Su Bai understood clearly.

Factional struggles within the military were indeed complex. Although Zhou Zheng was the Military Governor, he couldn't cover the sky with one hand.

However, his words were enough.

What Su Bai wanted was an attitude.

"Thank you, My Lord, for standing up for me!" Su Bai rose and bowed. "I understand your difficulties."

He paused and took the opportunity to make a request: "My Lord, this mission was a narrow escape from death, and I have been quite worried about my family. Now that the fighting has subsided, I would like to... go home and visit them."

He hadn't seen his younger sister, Su Qing, for a long time and wondered how she was doing in the Su Family. Now that he had some strength, it was time to go back and check.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zheng immediately understood Su Bai's thoughts.

After going through such turmoil, anyone would feel uneasy. It would be good to let him leave the trouble-ridden New Recruit Camp for a while.

Firstly, it would allow him to stay out of the limelight, and secondly, it served as a form of comfort and compensation.

Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said readily, "It's only right! Loyalty and filial piety are the foundations of one's character. Since you have such filial devotion, how could I refuse? Tell you what, I'll give you a month's leave! Don't worry about the New Recruit Camp; I'll personally go and have a word for you! Whoever dares to make things difficult for you is making things difficult for me, Zhou Zheng!"

As he spoke, Zhou Zheng took out a black token from his robe and handed it to Su Bai.

The token felt cold to the touch. On the front, a large character "Zhou" was engraved, while the back featured patterns of mountains and rivers.

"This is my Military Governor's Token. Seeing this token is like seeing me in person. Within the territory of Yunzhou City, if you encounter any trouble, you can take this token to any government office or military camp for help. No one will dare to disobey!"

Su Bai's heart trembled as he accepted the token with both hands.

The weight of this token was immense!

This meant that Zhou Zheng truly regarded him as a confidant!

"Thank you for your favor, My Lord!" Su Bai bowed deeply once more.

"Go on." Zhou Zheng patted his shoulder, his eyes full of expectation. "In a month, I hope to see a stronger version of you. It's time for the sky over Yunzhou City to change."

Su Bai nodded heavily and said nothing more.

He tucked the token away close to his body, gave a final salute, and turned to leave the Jiedushi Residence.

The moment he walked out of the gates, Su Bai looked back at the towering mansion.

He knew that from today on, he was completely tied to Zhou Zheng's boat.

But for him, this was a good thing.

It's easier to enjoy the shade when leaning against a big tree. To survive and thrive in this world where the strong are respected, strength alone is not enough; one also needs sufficient power and influence to rely on.

The night wind blew, carrying a hint of chill.

Su Bai tightened his clothes, identified his direction, and headed toward home.

His gaze was firmer than ever before.

Chang Feng, General Qin Bei...

Just you wait.

The day I return will be the time to settle old scores!

...

*Splash, splash.*

At this moment, Lin Chanchan was washing clothes in the small courtyard.

Since Su Bai had been away, Lin Weiwei found things dull, so she had been teaching Lin Chanchan things to keep in mind as Su Bai's woman.

This was actually for Lin Chanchan's own good.

Although Su Bai currently showed that he cared for them very much.

However, in Lin Weiwei's view, men could change.

A man's character would change depending on the position he held.

And Su Bai's personality destined him to rise to fame in this world.

When that time came, if they wanted to keep Su Bai, they would have to rely on their own virtue.

As for Ji Yingying, Lin Weiwei didn't let her do any housework.

Firstly, Ji Yingying didn't look like someone who could do housework.

Secondly, Ji Yingying seemed to be pregnant.

Yesterday, Lin Weiwei gritted her teeth and spent nearly half a Low-Grade Spirit Stone to get a doctor to come to the house and check Ji Yingying's pulse.

Lin Weiwei was very happy after learning it was a pregnancy pulse.

At this moment, Lin Chanchan looked at the basin of clothes in front of her, her little face scrunched up.

Her mind was wandering.

I wonder when the Young Master will return.

When the Young Master was here, Chan Chan never had to wash clothes.

Ever since the Young Master left, Chan Chan has had to wash clothes every day. If only the Young Master would come back now, I wouldn't have to wash so many clothes.

She thought to herself.

Lin Chanchan solemnly covered her eyes and turned her face toward the main gate.

"Ha!"

The next second, Lin Chanchan suddenly dropped her hands and shouted.

But the gate was still the same gate, with no change at all.

Lin Chanchan's mouth immediately pouted.

Try again!

Lin Chanchan covered her eyes again.

"Ha!"

This time, after Lin Chanchan lowered her hands, she clearly saw a familiar figure standing at the entrance of the small courtyard.

Looking at this figure, Lin Chanchan's mouth slowly formed an 'O' shape.

"Lin Chanchan, what are you doing?"

Su Bai looked at Lin Chanchan, whose mouth was wide open, found it quite amusing, and asked her.

Hearing Su Bai's voice, Lin Chanchan shuddered all over and then shrieked:

"Sister! Sister! The Young Master is back!"

Hearing Lin Chanchan's words, Lin Weiwei, who was cooking inside, ran straight out.

When she saw the figure from her dreams, Lin Weiwei also covered her mouth.

Large tears kept dripping down.

"Y-Young Master, you're finally back!"

Heaven knows how much Lin Weiwei had worried about Su Bai during this time.

After all, no matter how much she believed in Su Bai, he was still just a Cultivator at the Qi Refinement Stage.

And what he had to face was a full three hundred thousand-strong Demon.

It was almost no different from seeking death.

During the days Su Bai was gone, Lin Weiwei worried about his safety every time she dreamed.

Now that she finally saw Su Bai return, how could Lin Weiwei not be happy?

Lin Weiwei threw herself into Su Bai's arms like a swallow returning to its nest.

Seeing this, Lin Chanchan also pouted and shuffled over to Su Bai's side, then dove in as well.

Hearing the commotion in the courtyard, Ji Yingying, who had been lying inside, also came out and stood at the door, looking at Su Bai with a sweet smile.

This man, although only at the Qi Refinement Stage and not even at Foundation Establishment.

In Ji Yingying's eyes, he was the towering hero of the entire world.

At this moment, Su Bai looked seriously at Lin Weiwei and Lin Chanchan in his arms and said:

"Weiwei, Chan Chan, I've come back this time because I need your help with something."

"Need our help?"

Lin Weiwei was stunned for a moment, then asked curiously, "How can we help the Young Master?"

Su Bai chuckled and leaned into Lin Weiwei's ear, saying, "It's very simple, you just need to..."

As she listened, Lin Weiwei's face turned completely red. She looked up and gave Su Bai a playful glare, saying in a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum, "The Young Master only knows how to bully us..."
