Chapter 713: 713: Looking for a Sparring Partner?

Hearing Yue Lan’s reply, Gu Xiyue’s expression didn’t change much; she simply said, “I’ll take care of his side, you and Aunt Tang don’t need to worry about him anymore. Just stay in Jiang City with peace of mind.”

Yue Lan blinked gently at her words and asked, “Take care of? How are you going to take care of it?”

Gu Xiyue heard this but didn’t answer her question, merely stating, “You don’t have to worry about that. He certainly won’t end up dead, that’s for sure.”

Yue Lan wanted to say something else but saw Gu Xiyue, holding a box, step past her, heading towards the front courtyard, “It’s late, good night.”

Seeing this, Yue Lan also refrained from asking any more questions.

Every morning, as long as she wasn’t busy, Su Yunling would brew a pot of tea, and today was no exception.

The fragrance of the tea wafted gently, soon reaching Tang Yichen, who was practicing his morning martial arts. Smelling the aroma of the tea, Tang Yichen stopped his exercises and took several big strides toward Su Yunling.

Over the past couple of days, Fu Xiyan and several others had gathered at Su Yunling’s place, but these past two days they had all been busy with their own affairs.

Only Tang Yichen had some free time, sticking around Su Yunling’s place and refusing to leave.

Even though the Tang family’s home was right in the capital and not far from here, Tang Yichen simply wouldn’t go back.

Tang Yichen stayed at the Su Family home without leaving, and Su Yunling didn’t seem inclined to ask him to go. After all, there were plenty of rooms in the courtyard, and she had kept rooms for each of them.

In the past, whenever Su Yunling was in the capital, if her childhood friends were free, they would come to stay at the Su Family home.

The reason, of course, was to take advantage of free meals.

It wasn’t that they were specifically after Su Yunling’s cooking; after all, she rarely cooked herself in the past.

Still, despite this, because Su Yunling was particular about her food, any meals they ate with her were always of excellent taste.

You see, Su Yunling had a number of top-notch chefs under her employ, each with superb culinary skills. Most of the chefs from Shadow Pavilion were cultivated by people Su Yunling paid for their training.

Su Yunling had an underling with exceptional culinary skills named Yun Yao.

Previously, as long as Yun Yao wasn’t on a mission, he would always be by Su Yunling’s side.

However, this year the Ancient Martial Arts competition for the Yun Family was being led by Yun Yao, so two months ago, he returned to the Ancient Martial Arts World.

Just as Tang Yichen sat down across from Su Yunling, she instinctively pushed a cup of tea towards him.

Tang Yichen picked up the cup and gulped down the tea in one swift motion.

After finishing the tea, Tang Yichen let out a drawn-out sigh, “Ah~ It’s really not fun to practice martial arts alone without Second Brother.”

Upon hearing this, Su Yunling lightly raised an eyebrow and looked at Tang Yichen with a casual tone, “If it’s boring to practice alone, shall I join you?”

Tang Yichen nearly fell off his stool when he heard this and after steadying himself, he began to wave his hands frantically at Su Yunling, “No! No! No! I’m quite fine practicing on my own.”

Have Su Yunling accompany him in practice?

He must be crazy; he might as well be a human punching bag for her.

Practicing with Fu Xiyan, at the very least, he could manage a few moves. But with Su Yunling…

He would truly be on the receiving end of a one-sided beatdown.

A lazy smile lingered on the corners of Su Yunling’s mouth as she watched Tang Yichen ask, “Are you sure you don’t want to?”

Tang Yichen waved his hands again, “No need, no need.”

“If I feel like sparring, I could find Yun Sen and the others to join me; I couldn’t possibly waste Third Brother’s precious time.”

Anyway, he was absolutely determined not to practice with Third Brother!

“Hey? Fourth Master, you want me to spar with you?” As Tang Yichen’s words fell, the voice of Yun Sen sounded from behind him.

Hearing this familiar voice, Tang Yichen immediately turned his head to look, “Hm? You’re back so soon?”
