110. Husband, Wait for Me

Su Jie walked forward. His moves were clean and neat as he dealt with Shui Yan’s underlings. Not long after, piteous wails were coming from the people on the floor. This drama-like scene caused the surrounding crowd to freeze. Manifest fear in their eyes when they looked at Su Jie as they didn’t expect this ordinary-looking youth to be that awe-inspiring.

Originally, they thought Su Jie would definitely be beaten up badly because Su Jie was thin and slender and possessed a harmless aura. But unexpectedly, it was Su Jie who beat up the others in the end.

Shui Yan was also shocked. He didn’t think that these good fighters, who had always served him, couldn’t withstand even a single blow. Every one of them could only take one blow at most from Su Jie before falling to the ground. Even if one of them recovered and tried to attack Su Jie again, they would be immediately knocked back down again.

After the beating, Su Jie yawned. There was a lazy look on his face, making people think that he had an unfathomable style.

“Good going!” Yue Wanzhi was excited as he watched. He suddenly felt that watching Su Jie fight people was very entertaining. Su Jie’s moves were as free-flowing as clouds and water, and he dealt with his opponents neatly and quickly. It looked like it wasn’t even tiring, causing Yue Wanzhi, who was spectating on the side, to kind of want to fight as well. After all, Yue Wanzhi desired to have this kind of extraordinary agility, but his father had always hoped that Yue Wanzhi would become a civil official instead.

“Good lad, you’re that good at fighting?” Shui Yan gave Su Jie a once-over.

Su Jie’s expression was calm, not bothering to care about Shui Yan and Yue Wanzhi. Instead, he turned to face Zhou Zaiyue and said, “Elder Zhou, let’s go.”

“Sure.” Zhou Zaiyue nodded. He fell behind Su Jie by half a step. All the spectating civilians subconsciously made way for the pair to leave.

Shui Yan stood still, his face switched between green and purple. He now didn’t have the pride to call after Su Jie. He eyed the surrounding crowd, looking ferocious as he yelled, “What are you all looking at? Scram!”

The civilians saw Shui Yan turning angry from embarrassment and immediately scattered. As Yue Wanzhi watched Su Jie leave, he felt conflicted for a second before saying, “Husband! Wait for me!”

“Why are you following me?” Su Jie frowned subconsciously the moment he heard Yue Wanzhi say ‘husband’.

“I’m going home with you.” Yue Wanzhi rolled his eyes. After all, he was abandoned here in City Yang by his father. He had no kin to turn to, and the money he had was nearly all gone. Coincidentally, he encountered Su Jie, so he might as well leave with Su Jie.

Su Jie didn’t respond to Yue Wanzhi.

“Oh right, I’m called Yue Wanzhi. I still don’t know your name.”

“…Su Jie.”

“Brother Su, I’ll be following you from now on!” Yue Wanzhi smiled brightly.

Zhou Zaiyue harumphed and turned his head to watch Yue Wanzhi.

“You’re not in danger anymore. Stop bothering our young master.” Zhou Zaiyue said.

“Young master?” Yue Wanzhi watched Su Jie with some suspicion and asked, “Didn’t you say that you were part of Prince Rui’s residence? How are you a young master now? Also, are you using the legendary disguise technique?”

As he talked, Yue Wanzhi still stretched out his hand to touch Su Jie’s face.

Su Jie swatted his hand away, a neutral expression on his face, “Stop being so touchy-feely.”

Yue Wanzhi immediately became well-behaved, but he started to scheme again. “Brother Su, how about being my teacher? I feel that your martial arts are amazing, so I want to learn as well.”

“But I’m not interested in teaching you.” Su Jie massaged his temples, a faint smile on his lips.

“I’m actually quite talented.” Yue Wanzhi was a little desperate. He dreamed of being a master in martial arts, but in reality, he could only bring servants out to intimidate people. Once there was no one to protect him, he was bound to get beaten.

“Yue Wanzhi, you are quite shameless.” He talked to the point where Su Jie became vexed and decided to stop walking.

Yue Wanzhi was irritated, but there was nothing he could do to Su Jie other than holding his breath. Now that Su Jie paused in his steps, he asked unhappily, “Why aren’t you walking?”

“If you follow me, I’ll break your legs.”

“You…” Yue Wanzhi glared. When he saw that Su Jie didn’t seem like he was joking, Yue Wanzhi started to grow terrified. For a while, he didn’t say anything and only stared as Su Jie and Zhou Zaiyue walked on.

“I don’t believe that you’ll break my legs. Even if I have to crawl, I’ll crawl to you.” Yue Wanzhi’s stubbornness flared. He really wasn’t scared of anything, but he didn’t hurriedly rush to catch up with Su Jie. Instead, he fell behind by three to five meters.

After walking for a long time, Yue Wanzhi started to feel unsettled. He always did things on a whim, but because the pride in his bones was stimulated, he refused to give up this time and followed Su Jie and Zhou Zaiyue ever since, all the way to the outside of City Yang’s gates.

After passing through the city gates, he saw that Su Jie and Zhou Zaiyue got onto a carriage.

Yue Wanzhi got onto another carriage and ordered the coachman to follow the carriage that Su Jie was riding in.
