Chapter 121: Chapter 75: Old Man, You’re Exposed! (Subscription Requested)

The Great Zhou Capital.

Duke Zhen’s Mansion.

Cheng Guang rose early, having just left Million Specie Garden with Bai Shuxuan, he hadn’t yet left the mansion when he encountered Mrs. Wu, Yuei, heading straight towards him.

Wu Yuei knew that today Cheng Guang was supposed to be at the martial arts competition to carry out a task for the Bureau of the Lamp.

Although she also knew that Cheng Zhihai had already completed the task for Cheng Guang in advance, he just needed to show up to finish this initial mission and beco a mber of the Bureau of the Lamp.

Taking the first step in inheriting the family business.

It was simple, but still quite important.

Besides, the competition would take at least three or four days, aning Cheng Guang might not return to the mansion for three or four days.

Wu Yuei was quite concerned about his absence for so long.

Cheng Zhihai had been busy with sothing early in the morning and had not been seen, otherwise Wu Yuei would have certainly dragged him along.

Where was there ever a child who went away on a long journey without his parents seeing him off?

Yuei was a bit angry, but it was not appropriate to show it in front of Cheng Guang; she managed to maintain a gentle smile on her face.

“Guanger, why did you get up so early? It’s not as if you’re competing in the martial arts competition, so arriving early or late would make no difference.”

Cheng Guang had gotten up early purely because he was worried that if he arrived late, once the man in the black robe set up the restriction, he wouldn’t be able to enter.

And he’d miss his chance.

But such matters were not easy to explain to Mrs. Wu, so he could only nod obediently and not respond.

Seeing Cheng Guang like this, Wu Yuei laughed helplessly, her gaze turning to Bai Shuxuan by his side, and she was taken aback.

She hadn’t paid much attention to Cheng Guang for just a few days; this young man had already brought back a girl from who knows where.

And this girl was so beautiful—her eyes were completely fixed on Guanger.

Yuei was first startled, then a bit of a headache began to form.

Previously, she had worried that Cheng Guang showed no interest in won, which is why she arranged for Qing Luan to be by his side.

Now, however, she suddenly feared that Cheng Guang was too interested in the opposite sex.

She didn’t want it to co to pass that, before the marriage she had arranged for him could result in anything, the child would bring ho a dozen girls to the family.

Although this was a positive thing, after all, for Duke Zhen’s Mansion, being fruitful and multiplying was beneficial.

But still.

Wu Yuei felt it was necessary to consider the girl’s feelings.

Before getting married, it was better to be restrained.

Yuei intended to nag a little, but as the words reached her lips, she beca concerned again.

“Guanger, this ti the martial arts competition between Great Zhou and Great Wei is being held on Crane-Crying Island, several hundred miles away from the capital city. It’s a bit of a journey, so you must be careful.”

“The mansion’s guards can’t enter Crane-Crying Island, and only the mbers of the Bureau of the Lamp can ensure your complete safety. You must look out for yourself and if you encounter any danger, seek refuge behind them imdiately, you understand?”

As she spoke, Wu Yuei’s jade hand lightly flicked Cheng Guang’s forehead.

“Don’t feel embarrassed about it; it’s better to live and admit fear than to worry about losing face. Survival is all that matters.”

Cheng Guang nodded obediently and replied, “Mother, do not worry.”

Having said this, Yuei seed to realize she might be overthinking things, and she chuckled while shaking her head.

“It’s just Mother being overly concerned.”

“With the martial arts competition capturing the attention of countless people in the capital city, and both the Emperor of Great Zhou and the Empress of Great Wei present in the capital to watch, it’s unlikely anything untoward will happen.”

Wu Yuei straightened Cheng Guang’s collar, smiling tenderly, “Before I knew it, Guanger has grown two heads taller than and I can no longer pat your little head like I did when you were small.”

“Go on, then.”

“If I keep talking, you’ll start to find tireso.”

Yuei’s voice fell, and she stepped aside, clearing the path.

Cheng Guang, for so reason, felt a warmth in his heart, but the thought of the upcoming events, which might cause her unnecessary worry, gave him a lump in his throat.

Although she was not his biological mother, her concern was genuine and palpable, leaving him with mixed emotions.

“Mother, shall I go now?”

Yuei smiled and nodded. Just then, Steward Wang ca over and respectfully said to Cheng Guang,

“Princely Heir.”

“The Jade Carriage is ready.”

Cheng Guang was taken aback.

Clearly, the Jade Carriage was prepared by Wu Yuei for him.

Even though she was worried, she would not stop him; instead, she silently took care of the details for him.

At this mont.

A gentle breeze arose.

It stirred Cheng Guang’s hair, and for so reason, he suddenly rembered his parents from his past life, who worriedly nagged about whether he could take care of himself while quietly packing his bags as he prepared to go to school.

A sour sensation tingled in his nose.

Feeling Wu Yuei’s affection, his mood beca complex.

After bowing, he turned and led Bai Shuxuan into the Jade Carriage without a word.

The Jade Carriage set off.

Cheng Guang sat in the Jade Carriage, lifted the curtain for a glimpse, and looked back at the people who cared for him—they were still standing at the gate, refusing to leave even though he had traveled quite a distance.

Until the mansion gate was no longer visible, it seed Yuei still stood there.

Cheng Guang lowered the curtain and took a deep breath.

Since his arrival in this new world, he had never considered himself a part of Duke Zhen’s Mansion, treating himself rely as a substitute, with the detached attitude of an outsider, especially towards Wu Yuei and Cheng Zhihai.

Due to what had happened to his forr self, he harbored certain emotions towards the household of Duke Zhen.

But, if truth be told.

Apart from the Princely Heir who played with his life, Yuei of the Wu Family and Cheng Zhihai had treated Cheng Guang exceptionally well.

If in the future, Cheng Guang had to raise his sword against Yuei and the rest of Duke Zhen’s family because of issues relating to his predecessor, he would not be able to do it.
