33: The wife of the ninth-rank king who controls her husband! The fate of Teng Zijing!

Chapter 33: Madam Wang, the Ninth-Rank Husband Tamer! Teng Zijing's Plight!

West Market, Kyoto.

Outside a bustling cosmetics and spice shop.

Wang Qinian and a young man with an ordinary face were watching the young women entering and exiting.

The young man was Li Chang'an in disguise; he was too famous now and found it inconvenient to walk around with his true face for long periods.

Strolling through the city with Wang Qinian, discovering usable talents, was Li Chang'an's true purpose for being out.

Wang Qinian nervously rubbed his hands, looking very flustered, because he was there to flirt with a beauty.

The woman he had his eyes on was the shop's proprietress, Miss Gao.

Overly nervous, he tried to make conversation, "Young Master, look how well this shop is named, Gao Laozhuang!"

Li Chang'an ignored him. Recently, "story of the stone · magazine" had started serializing Journey to the West, and it had just updated to Gao Laozhuang.

This shop, which was piggybacking on the popularity, had a deep background; it was an outer outpost of the Net.

The intelligence outpost was only responsible to Shu Xiong, who managed the Net in the capital. The only other informed individuals were Li Chang'an and Zhao Gao.

Li Chang'an had excellent hearing and had long since heard the voices of Miss Gao and her maid inside.

"Young Miss, Mr. Wang from Prince Yong's Residence is here again. He's even wearing a flower in his hair, so silly!"

Miss Gao's voice then came out, "Don't let him fool you with his silly appearance; he's full of ideas and very cunning!"

The maid's expression was envious, and her voice was very low, yet she couldn't hide her excitement, "I heard that Mr. Wang's annual salary is two thousand four hundred taels! He can buy more than twenty houses in Kyoto!"

"With Young Miss's methods, isn't it easy to manipulate him and make him utterly devoted!"

"Marrying Mr. Wang, you can even see the latest chapters of "the story of the stone" a few days earlier, there are so many benefits!"

The proprietress, Miss Gao, smiled and said nothing more.

As noon approached, Wang Qinian shamelessly walked into Gao Laozhuang.

"Hello, Miss Gao, I've come to buy rouge again. The Prince Yong's Residence has many maids, and the rouge is used up quickly."

"I've also brought the next month's update of "the story of the stone" for Young Miss..."

Miss Gao's maid brought out a plate of pastries and placed it in front of Wang Qinian, "Mr. Wang, Young Miss made these especially for you."

Wang Qinian was overjoyed, "Thank you, Young Miss, I am humbled."

"I have drifted for half my life, never meeting a good person, fortunately, I met Young Miss..."

Miss Gao of Gao Laozhuang was an outer member of the Net. She didn't know who the ultimate leader of the Net was.

Only core members knew that their ultimate master was Li Chang'an.

Miss Gao thought she had joined a Gang that dealt in intelligence.

Li Chang'an took one look at Miss Gao and knew that she would be the future Madam Wang, who would be fiercer than tigers and leopards.

Because Miss Gao actually had a Ninth-Rank Husband Tamer talent!

Too brutal!

Name: Miss Gao

Age: 20 years old

Realm: Fourth-Rank Low

Talent: Husband Tamer (Ninth-Rank), Business (Fifth-Rank)

Ability: Business (Seventh-Rank), Management (Fourth-Rank), Espionage (Third-Rank)

Emotion: 0

Li Chang'an never expected that Madam Wang would become his subordinate.

Wang Qinian never expected that his entire family would serve Li Chang'an in the future.

Half an hour later, Wang Qinian excitedly emerged from Gao Laozhuang.

"Young Master, I think I'm close to winning over Miss Gao!"

Both were shrewd people, clearly interested in each other, yet they engaged in pointless back-and-forth.

Wang Qinian followed Li Chang'an, with an annual salary of two thousand four hundred taels, a veritable diamond bachelor!

Although Madam Wang was fiercer than tigers and leopards, Old Wang enjoyed it, this was fate!

"Old Wang, don't think I don't know what you're going to say."

"Ten days for wedding leave, half a month for maternity leave, holidays deduct salary. You don't need to waste your breath anymore!"

Li Chang'an's previous life's laborers even had weekends; in the world of Joy of Life, there were only a dozen or so holidays a year.

Giving Wang Qinian time off was already an act of extraordinary grace.

Leaving Gao Laozhuang, the two continued to wander along the street. After a few steps, they found a crowd gathered ahead.

Li Chang'an approached and saw that a group of green-clad servants were beating an elderly couple.

Listening to the onlookers, the two old people accidentally splashed water on the clothes of the Guo Residence's steward while pouring water.

The one directing the servants to beat people was the steward of Guo Youzhi, the Minister of Rites.

The servants were hitting them very hard, and it looked like they were about to beat them to death.

Wang Qinian frowned, unable to watch any longer, but someone had already stepped in.

An agile big man rushed out of the crowd and kicked over a servant.

Name: Teng Zijing

Age: 25 years old

Realm: Seventh-Rank Low

Talent: Hidden Weapon (Ninth-Rank)

Ability: Business (Fourth-Rank), Poison Arts (Fourth-Rank)

Emotion: 0

Teng Zijing only had one Talent, but it was a full Ninth-Rank!

Li Chang'an called this type of person a specialized talent.

For example, Xiren and Qingwen were Sword Dao specialists, Madam Wang was a Husband Tamer specialist, and Teng Zijing was actually a Hidden Weapon specialist.

Teng Zijing came from a humble background and didn't have very good Secret Manuals, which is why he was only Seventh-Rank Low now.

The imperial family's treasured Secret Manuals in Li Chang'an's mind included Hidden Weapon Secret Manuals.

If Teng Zijing Cultivated the treasured Hidden Weapon Secret Manuals, he could very well advance to Ninth-Rank!

Genius individuals specializing in a certain type of martial Dao were already rare, let alone hidden weapons.

Imperial Guard Commander Yan Xiao Yi was a Ninth-Rank archer, making all Ninth-Rank masters extremely wary of him.

Because archery was long-range!

In a world with True Qi, the range of hidden weapons might not be much worse than that of bows and arrows.

Therefore, a Ninth-Rank Hidden Weapon master was extremely rare and terrifying.

Li Chang'an had been wandering in Kyoto for many years, and encountering a Ninth-Rank talent was very difficult.

So, this Teng Zijing also needed to be brought under his wing.

In the blink of an eye, Teng Zijing had already knocked down all of Guo Residence's steward and servants.

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"

The two old people knelt on the ground, repeatedly kowtowing in thanks. Teng Zijing helped them up and then walked away.

Wang Qinian watched the departing Teng Zijing, "That kid is quite handsome!"

Li Chang'an said, "However handsome he is now, he will be just as miserable in two days. You don't need to follow me these two days, just keep an eye on him."

Because Li Chang'an didn't intervene, Teng Zijing's plight remained unchanged.

A few days later, Teng Zijing was directly brought to the Ministry of Justice's main hall, charged with assassinating a court official, and sentenced to execution for his entire family!

Execution for the entire family! Teng Zijing's wife had just become pregnant.

In the main hall, Teng Zijing was stunned, indignant, roaring, and laughing wildly in extreme anger!

He had merely stood up for an old couple, and as a result, he became a major criminal accused of assassinating a court official!

The two old people even became witnesses, identifying Teng Zijing's crime in court.

He believed that this was all the Guo family's doing, covering the sky with one hand, calling a deer a horse, and fabricating charges!

In this world, was there no justice or fairness?!

However, when Teng Zijing was in despair in his cell, a turning point suddenly appeared.

A transfer order from the Supervisory Council took away all the case files.

They told Teng Zijing that as long as he joined the Supervisory Council, the Supervisory Council would guarantee the safety of his entire family!

Teng Zijing, who was almost broken and desperate, found a new lease on life!

He was deeply grateful to the Supervisory Council, wishing he could repay them with his life!

"Thank you, sir, for saving my entire family. This life of Teng Zijing now belongs to the Supervisory Council!"

In his cell, Teng Zijing kowtowed more than a dozen times to the Supervisory Council's envoy, his forehead bleeding!

A few days later, in Prince Yong's Residence.

Li Chang'an planned to bring Zhao Gao and Wang Qinian to recruit Teng Zijing.

If Teng Zijing was given Secret Manuals, in a few years, he would be a Ninth-Rank Hidden Weapon master!

Zhao Gao was currently disguising Wang Qinian, because Wang Qinian often appeared in the city and could easily be recognized.

"Nian'er, you should seriously consider it."

"A man loses ninety percent of his distractions after castration, and your Cultivation and various abilities will reach their Peak!"

"Your Aptitude, Talent, and disposition are simply those of a born eunuch. Your master truly likes you very much."

Li Chang'an was already used to the conversations between Zhao Gao and Wang Qinian.

Zhao Gao valued Wang Qinian highly, imparting all his skills without reservation.

But Old Zhao had an obsession; he particularly wanted to castrate Wang Qinian to let Wang Qinian inherit his Legacy.

Zhao Gao even specifically asked Li Chang'an for permission, wanting to drug Wang Qinian and castrate him, so that once it was done, Wang Qinian would have no recourse.

If Wang Qinian were to Cultivate the Sunflower Manual after castration, his potential might surpass Zhao Gao, but the Sunflower Manual in the Ten Thousand Realms Mall was too expensive.

Otherwise, Li Chang'an would really be tempted.

If Wang Qinian could sever his emotional ties, Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian's positions in the eunuch world would probably be shaken!
