Auxiliary Women's Strategy: A Virtuous Wife Helps the King to Rule the World

A figure appeared in front of the old man like a ghost. When Su Nan saw the face clearly, he was shocked.

The visitor was none other than Jiang Yu, the master of Duobao Pavilion. At first glance, he stood tall and straight, like a proud pine tree. He was clad in an incomparably regal brocade robe, intricately embroidered with patterns, and cinched with a translucent jade belt, each of which betrayed his unparalleled nobility. His face was resolute, its lines as hard as if sculpted by a knife or an axe, its edges so sharp they could cut. His eyes, as deep as a bottomless pool, were dark and profound, making it impossible to discern his true thoughts, as if they concealed endless secrets and profound political schemes.

His eyebrows were thick and long, their tails slightly raised, like the wings of an eagle ready to take flight, giving him a powerful, unspoken aura of authority. Beneath his high nose, his thin lips were tightly pursed, their lines firm, revealing his unwavering character and decisive decision-making.

His weathered face was etched with a few fine wrinkles, like the marks of time. Yet, far from diminishing his dignity, these lines only enhanced his composure and sophistication, honed over time. Each wrinkle seemed to silently recount the ups and downs he had endured in the underworld, the countless thrilling power struggles, a badge bestowed upon him by time, a testament to his wisdom and experience.

Jiang Yu exuded a breathtakingly powerful aura with every gesture, as if he were the master of heaven and earth, making it difficult to even look directly at him. When he stood, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, as if he could support the heavens and earth, holding up the vast universe. When he walked, his steps were steady and powerful, each one carrying an unquestionable and irresistible momentum, as if the very ground beneath his feet trembled with his steps.

His deep, abyssal gaze sometimes gleams with shrewd wisdom, as if able to see through all conspiracies and intrigues; other times, it reveals an unfathomable cunning that forces one to be cautious and fearful when facing him. Wisdom and scheming intertwine in him like an intricate web, making it difficult to grasp, yet one dares not underestimate or underestimate him in the slightest.

Jiang Yu had a dignified look on his face and a sharp gaze as he swept coldly over everyone present. That gaze seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts and make people shudder.

When Jiang Fan saw the person coming, he felt like he had seen a savior and hurriedly said, "Dad, you're here, hurry up and deal with this ungrateful woman."

Jiang Yu glared at Jiang Fan fiercely and shouted, "You good-for-nothing! You're always causing me trouble and doing whatever you want all day!"

Then, he turned his gaze to Su Nan, a flicker of elusiveness in his eyes. He tried to gauge Su Nan's strength, but found it was like looking at flowers amidst a thick fog, unable to discern the true or false. This made Jiang Yu's heart tremble, and he secretly speculated that Su Nan was either an ordinary person with no cultivation, which was almost impossible; or his strength was so far superior to everyone present that even his own skills could not even begin to discern him.

Jiang Yu's mind raced, but his expression remained calm. He slowly said, "Miss, could you please give Duobao Pavilion some face and let this go?"

Su Nan showed no intention of backing down. He held his head high and responded righteously, "Pavilion Master, your Duobao Pavilion acts tyrannically, plundering and robbing people without any sense of justice. I cannot give you this face."

Jiang Yu's face darkened, like a gathering cloud, and he said in a low voice, "Is that girl determined to become an enemy of Duobao Pavilion?"

Su Nan's eyes were firm, and he said without hesitation: "It's not that I want to be an enemy of Duobao Pavilion, but I must seek justice. There must be an explanation for right and wrong."

Jiang Yu was silent for a moment, his eyes gazing at Su Nan, his mind calculating. He knew that if this woman truly possessed unfathomable power, a forceful approach would likely cause Duobao Pavilion immense trouble, perhaps even catastrophic disaster. However, if he yielded, Duobao Pavilion's reputation would be tarnished, affecting its future standing in the martial arts world.

Finally, Jiang Yu spoke again, his tone hinting at compromise. "Miss, perhaps there was indeed a misunderstanding regarding what happened today. How about this? My Duobao Pavilion is willing to offer some precious treasures as compensation, and let this matter be put to rest. How do you think?"

Jiang Fan couldn't stand hearing this: "Dad, no, Liu Yitao..."

Jiang Yu scolded him, "Shut up, you rebellious son. You've been stirring up trouble for no reason. You didn't listen to your father about Liu Yitao's incident, so you forced her to leave. Now you've caused trouble again today. I'll teach you a lesson when I get home."

Jiang Fan shrank his neck in fear and stopped talking.

Su Nan sneered, his eyes filled with disdain: "Pavilion Master, do you think a few treasures can settle this matter?"

Jiang Yu frowned, a hint of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes, but he quickly concealed it and said, "What exactly does the girl want?"

Su Nan took a deep breath, calmed herself, and began to recount the entire story. She recounted in detail how Jiang Fan, the Young Master of Duobao Pavilion, had arbitrarily and unreasonably snatched the jade pendant, and how he had attempted to take the siblings away to threaten their master, Liu Yitao.

Jiang Yu's face turned pale after hearing this, and veins popped on his forehead. He turned around and scolded his son Jiang Fan fiercely: "You unfilial son, how did your father teach you? How dare you do such a shameful thing that brings disgrace to our family!"

After saying this, Jiang Yu personally returned the jade pendant to the siblings. Furthermore, he called over the medicine seller and without hesitation, bought the Tianling Grass. He personally handed it to the siblings, saying earnestly, "This is the Tianling Grass that cured your master. It's my Duobao Pavilion's small compensation for what happened today. I hope your master recovers soon."

The brother and sister accepted the Heavenly Spirit Grass with a mixture of surprise and delight, their hearts overflowing with joy and gratitude. However, they were unsure how to proceed. Should they thank the Pavilion Master? For a moment, they stood there, staring at each other, caught in a dilemma.

Seeing this, Su Nan's expression eased slightly, but he still said, "Although the Pavilion Master's move is sincere, I hope you can discipline your son more in the future and stop him from bullying others and doing evil again."

Jiang Yu bowed and said, "Miss, you are absolutely right. I will definitely discipline him strictly. I hope you will not take today's incident to heart."

Su Nan looked at the brother and sister and said, "I don't care. Let's see how they decide."

The brother and sister were eager to save their master, so they thought this was the best outcome and nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Su Nan said, "If that's the case, let's end this matter here."

The brother and sister quickly left with the herbs. Su Nan was also about to leave, but was stopped by Jiang Yu.

Su Nan raised his eyebrows, looking unhappy: "Master, what do you mean?"
