Shen Yunhao's tone was firm, as if he had been pondering for quite some time.
A knowing glint flashed in Ning Yuyao's eyes, and she nodded gently, "Okay."
Her support was so decisive that Shen Yunhao's prepared explanations were stuck in his throat.
His heart warmed, and he couldn't help but squeeze her slightly cool fingertips: "Aren't you going to ask me why?"
Ning Yuyao shook her head again, "My husband has his reasons for doing what he wants. The gossip of others is nothing but dust, which can be easily brushed away..."
She paused, then added, "Besides, Brother Yunhao's sword is extraordinary!"
Hearing these words, Shen Yunhao's heart softened even more. He couldn't help but gently brush a strand of hair from her cheek, his gesture intimate and natural: "Yes, I originally intended to keep a low profile and just watch my wife shine, but now... that guy is trapped, and I can't very well break into the Azure Sky Sword Pavilion at night to steal its treasure. I have no choice but to get involved myself and go hand in hand with Yao'er! If I end up stealing Yao'er's thunder..."
At this moment, Ning Yuyao stared intently at him, "Then Yao'er... will only be happier! And even prouder!"
"..."
What's with this feeling of hoping your son will become a dragon?
Shen Yunhao smiled and pulled the girl into his arms, "Yao'er, you're so good!"
It's fine now, but things might not be so in a while...
After hesitating for a long time, Shen Yunhao finally gritted his teeth and said, "Yao'er... I want to tell you something."
"Um……"
"About... Shuang'er..."
"Um?"
After a long while, night fell.
Shen Yunhao had already told Ning Yuyao what happened in the Time Secret Realm, but he deliberately avoided the specific details about Shuang'er, only referring to her as the Void Illusion Sword Spirit.
I thought I'd never see him again, but who knew trouble would come knocking so quickly!
To "rescue" Shuang'er, Ning Yuyao was indispensable, so Shen Yunhao had no choice but to reveal everything about Shuang'er, including her past, her experiences in the secret realm, and the specific process of how he released her...
However, to Shen Yunhao's surprise, Ning Yuyao did not seem to be jealous about the sword spirit when she heard this. Instead, she nodded in agreement.
“My husband did not take advantage of my distress; this is truly the act of a gentleman, and I admire him greatly. Moreover, the Frost's Silence has imbued the Returning Snow Sword with its spirit, which is a great favor,” Ning Yuyao said softly. “I should certainly help him, but…”
She raised her eyes and looked at Shen Yunhao seriously, "Husband, this conference is a gathering of geniuses. In terms of cultivation level and swordsmanship accumulation, you are indeed lacking at present."
Ning Yuyao's words were straightforward, without any belittling, simply stating a fact.
At the mid-stage of the Soul Condensation Realm, in Wanren City, which gathers the top sword geniuses of the Nine Provinces Chronicles, she is indeed not outstanding. Even she herself would not dare to say that she is guaranteed to be in the top ten.
Seeing that the other party was not dwelling on Shuang'er's matter, Shen Yunhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled lightly: "Isn't there still my Yao'er, the genius sword immortal of Guanghan Palace? When necessary, she can give her husband some private lessons and give him a few pointers?"
Hearing this, Ning Yuyao nodded, "Husband should indeed practice more! From now on, just like in Tianshan, let's practice swordsmanship together every morning!"
"..."
Shen Yunhao's face stiffened, but since he had already said it, he could only grit his teeth and agree.
"Alright! Yao'er, let's get some rest early tonight..."
"Yes! I should get some rest..." she said, as she walked to the side and started rummaging through the package.
"Yao'er? What are you looking for?"
"My senior sister once gave me some nice undergarments, and Yao'er wants to wear them to show my husband today..."
"Um?"
Shen Yunhao felt a little confused. Why change clothes so late at night?
However, as Ning Yuyao uttered her next sentence, Shen Yunhao suddenly felt... a slight ache in his lower back.
Ning Yuyao pulled out a nearly transparent silk bodice from her bundle, held it in her hand, her face showing a hint of shyness, but her tone was quite firm.
"I hope my husband... will cherish Yao'er well tonight..."
"..."
...
The following morning, the unique chilling sword aura of Wanren City seemed to become more active with the rising sun, and an invisible sense of sharpness permeated the air.
With dark circles under his eyes, Shen Yunhao limped back to Shuangfeng Courtyard, leaning on the Guixue Sword. Ma Tianyu, who had just gotten up, was startled when he saw this scene!
"Damn it, Brother Shen! Did someone drag you out and beat you up last night? You look so disheveled!"
Shen Yunhao looked at him, his face pale and filled with despair. "Don't...don't mention it. I stayed up most of last night, and before dawn I was dragged out to be a sparring partner. I got beaten up all morning and didn't even have a chance to fight back..."
Only now did he realize that the little girl wasn't immune to jealousy; she had simply channeled her jealousy into her own power, focusing all her energy on "torturing" Shen Yunhao.
This whole ordeal even triggered the automatic repair function of Hanhaixin... It's clear that when this little girl gets angry, she really can be ruthless!
"Huh? This..."
Ma Tianyu frowned and said in a low voice, "This... is Senior Sister Guan really that heartless? Fairy Ning cares about you so much, why don't you ask her to put in a good word for you?"
Not wanting to hear this, Shen Yunhao's face paled even more. He wanted to say something, but in the end he waved his hand and said, "Never mind, I have to go back and get some sleep, otherwise I don't know if I can get through tonight... By the way, Brother Ma, could you go to Tianbao Pavilion in the city and buy me some better tonics?"
"Huh? What do you need this for? Shouldn't you be practicing swordsmanship..."
"Sigh, never mind..."
As soon as Shen Yunhao stepped through the door, he heard Ma Tianyu's strange voice behind him.
"Oh? Hello, who are you looking for?"
Shen Yunhao was taken aback. He turned his head and saw Ma Tianyu talking to a handsome young man outside the door.
The man had a kind face and smiled, "Excuse me... is Young Master Shen Yunhao here?"
"Oh... Brother Shen, someone's looking for you!"
Shen Yunhao quickly steadied himself to appear less weak, then returned to the door and asked, "Hello, were you looking for me?"
The man smiled at Shen Yunhao and handed him a letter.
"My name is Mo Chengxuan, and I live in Xuesong Courtyard. This is something an old friend asked me to bring to you!"
"An old friend?" Shen Yunhao was taken aback, his heart filled with vigilance, but he still accepted the letter.
He sensed no danger from up there...
"The letter has been delivered. I shall take my leave now. Farewell, Young Master Shen!"
After saying that, without waiting for Shen Yunhao's reply, the man left with a smile.
"Holy crap! Brother Shen, you're amazing! You're getting love letters from guys now! Let me see..."
Shen Yunhao rolled his eyes at him, opened the envelope, and heard a "bang" as a burst of purple powder sprayed out.
"Holy crap! There's an assassin!"
Ma Tianyu was shocked to see this!
