Wu Yingyuan sincerely said, "He is a rare talent."
Wu Tingfang then asked, "So, in this sword duel between him and Lian Jin, who do you think has a better chance of winning, Father?"
"Father believes that Young Hero Gu will definitely win!"
The group returned to Urumqi the following morning.
Wu Yingyuan patted Gu Yu on the shoulder and said, "You will be competing with Lian Jin in three days. Rest well these next few days, conserve your energy, and make sure you win."
"Yes, young master, rest assured, I will do my best."
Back in the courtyard, Tingfang came forward and gently straightened Gu Yu's clothes.
Gu Yu held her in his arms, inhaling her alluring fragrance, and couldn't help but lower his head to capture her red lips.
Chunying and Xiaying were also in the courtyard. When they saw this scene, their faces turned red with embarrassment, their hearts pounded, and their minds were filled with all sorts of thoughts.
"cough!"
Suddenly, a soft cough was heard.
Chunying and Xiaying turned around and their expressions changed. They quickly stepped forward to bow.
"This servant greets Miss."
The person who arrived was none other than Wu Tingfang.
Upon entering the courtyard, she saw Gu Yu and Tingfang embracing tenderly, and she felt a pang of sadness.
However, as the eldest daughter of the Wu family, she had seen many such scenes and would not be so jealous as to throw a tantrum over a dancer.
"This servant greets the young lady."
Tingfang blushed and quickly stepped forward to bow.
Gu Yu smiled and said, "Miss, what brings you here?"
Wu Tingfang glanced at Gu Yu and said, "Go change your clothes and come with me for a walk."
"All right."
Soon, Gu Yu changed into a warrior's outfit, with a bronze sword at his waist, and walked out looking very imposing. Wu Tingfang was so captivated by him that she forgot to speak.
Only when Gu Yu stepped forward and put his arm around her waist did her face flush red, and she looked at Gu Yu with a mixture of joy and reproach.
Although the two have already had their first intimate encounter, their relationship has not yet been made public.
When Gu Yu put his arm around her waist, it was tantamount to a silent declaration: the eldest daughter of the Wu family is mine, Gu Yu's woman, so everyone should give up now.
Once on the street, the two strolled around hand in hand.
At that time, there was no such thing as women staying at home; there were even more women than men on the streets.
Everyone says that the Tang Dynasty was open and prosperous, but in Gu Yu's eyes, it was nothing compared to the Warring States period.
Even though he was holding the hand of a beautiful woman, many women still stared at him, and some of the bolder ones even deliberately flirted with him, such as by winking or pulling down his collar.
Tao Fang once said that there were at least tens of thousands of widows in Handan, most of whose husbands died in the Battle of Changping.
Even more remarkably, Gu Yu saw several couples walking hand in hand, seemingly inseparable, which was not unusual to passersby.
After all, even the current King of Zhao is a homosexual, so what's so strange about that?
The famous Lord Longyang is a typical example of this.
Not long after, Gu Yu saw a couple of men walking towards him hand in hand and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
He could understand the previous couples to some extent, since they were all good-looking and charming.
But this pair—they looked just like bandits, dark-skinned and short, with big beards on their faces.
Ironically, one of the bearded men was leaning against the shoulder of the other bearded man like a little bird, which made one feel nauseous.
The other person seemed to sense Gu Yu's gaze and couldn't help but glance over, raising a finger and pouting coquettishly, "What are you looking at? How annoying!"
Gu Yu: "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry—"
The two were enjoying their stroll when they saw Lian Jin and Wu Hei walking towards them with several of their men.
Since there was no way to avoid it, Gu Yu stepped forward and greeted them generously: "What a coincidence, Steward Wu and Brother Lian Jin are also shopping?"
Actually, this is no coincidence at all.
As soon as Gu Yu and Wu Tingfang stepped out, Lian Jin received the news and was furious, his anger reaching a fever pitch.
It's one thing to go shopping, but the two of them were even holding hands?
It’s tolerable, it’s unbearable!
Lian Jin infiltrated the Wu family, plotting to win over Wu Tingfang. Everything was progressing smoothly, and he had successfully won the beauty's favor.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yu appeared out of nowhere and forcibly took Wu Tingfang away.
How can Lian Jin swallow this insult?
Wu Hei was, of course, on Lian Jin's side.
Once Gu Yu gains power, it means Tao Fang will gain power as well. At that time, let alone vying for the position of the Wu family's chief steward, he might not even be able to keep his current position.
So, this guy came along with Lian Jin, wanting to join forces to deal with Gu Yu.
Lian Jin glared coldly at Gu Yu, then reached out to pull Wu Tingfang: "Miss, come here for a moment, I have something to say to you."
Wu Tingfang dodged his hand and frowned, saying, "Lian Jin, say what you have to say here."
Wu Hei said coldly, "Young Miss, we are here on the orders of the family head to bring you back to the manor."
Wu Tingfang wasn't stupid, and couldn't help but retort, "Steward Wu, even if my grandfather wants to see me, there's no need for you to take me back to the manor."
Wu Hei forced a smile and said, "Does the young lady not even listen to the head of the family anymore?"
Wu Tingfang angrily retorted, "How dare you, Wu Hei! Who do you think you are to speak to me like that?"
Wu Hei's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly smiled apologetically: "Miss, you misunderstand. I just spoke carelessly."
Taking advantage of the situation, Gu Yu laughed and said, "Chief Steward Wu, it was precisely because you spoke too quickly that you blurted out what you were thinking."
Lian Jin was so angry that his face turned red. He glared at Gu Yu and then looked at Wu Tingfang, saying, "Miss, don't let this guy blind you. This kid's background is unknown. Who knows what he's up to? Steward Wu and I are doing this for your own good. Come back to the manor with us first."
It's the same old "it's for your own good" tactic again. Can't you come up with something new?
Wu Tingfang retorted angrily, "My affairs are none of your business!"
Gu Yu glanced at Lian Jin and said, "Lian Jin, I advise you to go back and practice your sword properly. Don't bother with the young lady's affairs."
"That's right!"
As if in a show of defiance, Wu Tingfang took Gu Yu's arm.
"you----"
Lian Jin was so angry he almost vomited blood, and he couldn't help but grip the hilt of his sword with one hand.
Gu Yu smiled and said, "What? You don't necessarily want to start a fight in the street, do you?"
Lian Jin said fiercely, "You think I wouldn't dare?"
"If you're not afraid the king will kill you, then go ahead and do it."
Upon hearing this, Lian Jin's facial muscles twitched a few times, and his hand slowly loosened.
The duel between the two was no longer a personal feud, but a sword fight in front of King Zhao and a host of nobles. If he couldn't help but make a move now, it would be disrespectful to the king.
"Good, very good!"
Lian Jin chuckled maliciously a few times.
"Gu Yu, you just wait and see how long you can be so smug."
After saying that, Lian Jin gave a heavy snort and left in a huff.
As soon as he left, Wu Hei and the others quickly followed suit.
Wu Tingfang said angrily, "This is too much! I must go back and tell Grandpa."
Gu Yu laughed and said, "No need. Let this guy be smug for a couple more days."
Upon hearing this, Wu Tingfang couldn't help but say, "Gu Lang, you must not be careless. Lian Jin's swordsmanship is extraordinary; he has defeated many masters in Handan City."
"I know, you don't need to worry."
Gu Yu patted her shoulder and said something comforting.
