She transmigrated into a widow and farmed to raise vests.

Linghu Bai's sudden request for leave surprised Qin Yu a little.

"Is there an emergency at home?"

Linghu Bai said there was no one left in his family, so how come he has family again now?

"Yes, it's an emergency for a relative!"

Qin Yu noticed that he hesitated when he spoke, and looked very troubled.

I don't want to ask any more questions.

"How long will it take for you to get back?"

"It can take as little as one month, or as little as two or three months."

Qin Yu listened, and although he disagreed with him and didn't want him to stay for so long, he knew there was nothing he could do.

This place lacks the high technology and advanced transportation of the future, so there's no way to demand that he return it within a few days.

But I know that this is the only way.

"Fine!"

Qin Yu had no choice but to agree.

We should take advantage of this time to let them get a good rest.

Linghu Bai had expected Qin Yu to agree, but he hadn't anticipated her being so decisive.

He wanted to say something more, but in the end he could only shut his mouth and turn back to his room.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Yu gave some silver to Lu Zhou.

“Your kung fu master has to go back for something, and I don’t know what it is. Take this money and give it to Master Linghu. This is your sister-in-law’s token of appreciation.”

Lu Zhou took the money from Qin Yu and instantly understood Qin Yu's meaning.

"Don't worry, sister, I know what to say!"

As he spoke, he went out the door and knocked on Linghu Bai's room.

Linghu Bai was looking thoughtfully at the scar on his palm in the room. When he heard the knock on the door, he thought Qin Yu was looking for him, so he immediately got up to open the door.

Upon seeing that the visitor was Lu Zhou, he could not hide his disappointment.

"It is you?"

"Who does Master think it is? My sister-in-law?"

Lu Zhou acted like a little adult.

These words still startled Linghu Bai.

"That's not what I meant, I just..."

Lu Zhou looked at Linghu Bai, waiting for his explanation.

Linghu Bai realized that Lu Zhou was teasing him, and seeing that Lu Zhou's tone wasn't angry, he gave an awkward smile.

"What brings you here? Is there something you need?"

"Master is going home for a visit. My sister-in-law asked me to send you some money so that your family may have an emergency."

Lu Zhou placed twenty taels of silver on the table and explained his purpose for coming.

Linghu Bai looked at the silver on the table, but his ears automatically picked up what he wanted to hear.

"You mean your sister-in-law asked you to deliver this?" Linghu Bai looked at Lu Zhou with expectant eyes.

"Yes!" Lu Zhou answered truthfully, though he was somewhat unhappy, he didn't say anything.

Linghu Bai looked at the silver on the table.

He wouldn't even consider twenty taels.

A single mission from his Thousand Machine Tower would cost at least a thousand taels of silver.

For someone of his status, twenty taels of silver was clearly a lot.

His face wore the same smile as always.

Did your sister-in-law say anything?

"No!" Lu Zhou and Linghu Bai get along very well.

Although the two were quite different, he didn't know why.

He didn't dislike Linghu Bai, the man in front of him.

"Master Linghu, I know what you're thinking!"

"You knew?" Linghu Bai's face froze for a moment, then he looked away guiltily. "What was I thinking?"

"You like my sister-in-law, don't you?"

Lu Zhou's bluntness surprised even Linghu Bai.

"No...no!" Linghu Bai blushed.

The word "like" made my heart flutter.

He didn't show it.

Moreover, he doesn't see Qin Yu very often on weekdays.

How did a child manage to figure this out?

My thoughts were actually read by a child.

The key point is that he is Qin Yu's uncle.

This was clearly something he couldn't say!

"My sister-in-law is such a good person, it's only natural to like her!" Lu Zhou ignored Linghu Bai's expression.

Linghu Bai assumed that Lu Zhou had no objection to the matter after hearing Lu Zhou's words.

But then I heard him say something else.

"Twenty taels is a lot of money, so once you've taken the money, don't come back!"

Upon hearing this, Linghu Bai's previously smiling and handsome eyes widened in surprise.

"What do you mean?"

Lu Zhou looked at Linghu Bai and spoke, word by word.

“I study hard and one day I will pass the imperial examinations and achieve fame. I will take good care of my sister-in-law, instead of someone like you who keeps running back and forth.”

"My sister-in-law deserves the best in the world. I will work hard to make sure she lives a good life!"

This was the first time Linghu Bai had heard such words from a child.

His previous roguishness immediately disappeared.

His facial expression changed, even showing a hint of mockery.

Are you lecturing me, or trying to stop me?

Lu Zhou saw the man's eyes turn somewhat fierce, but he met the man's gaze without the slightest fear.

He still stood up straight, facing Linghu Bai with a stern face.

“My brother said that if he were gone one day, he must take good care of my sister-in-law and Xiao An. I don’t like anything that my sister-in-law doesn’t like.”

Linghu Bai's lips twitched slightly, and he stretched out a hand with a hint of restraint.

In the end, I forced myself to calm down.

Her gaze toward Lu Zhou was icy cold once more.

"No one and nothing can stop me from doing what I want to do. If you want to stop me, you'd better work hard."

Before Lu Zhou could speak again, she slammed her hand on the table.

A loud crash was heard, and the round wooden table was found to have shattered on one side, with wood chips scattered all over the floor.

The scene looked somewhat astonishing.

"Get out!" Linghu Bai shouted sternly, ordering Lu Zhou to leave.

Lu Zhou stared in disbelief at the scene before him, too shocked to utter a single word.

I originally thought he was just an instructor, someone who only knew some martial arts, but I never expected him to have such profound internal strength.

He immediately froze on the spot.

Hearing a sound of someone leaving brought him back to his senses.

Somewhat frightened, she turned and ran out.

Back in the study, I saw Qin Yu sitting at his desk writing something.

Feeling a little guilty, he lowered his head and quickly sat down to the side.

Qin Yu looked up and saw that he looked normal, so he didn't take it to heart.

At this moment, Linghu Bai was unable to calm down because of Lu Zhou's words, and he was restless and wanted to vent his emotions.

Ignoring the fact that someone had heard the noise, he turned around and jumped onto the roof.

However, this sudden commotion alerted Qin Yu.

"You guys rest first, I'm going out for a bit."

Qin Yu pretended to cover her stomach, afraid that the two children would ask too many questions.

He took the pile of discarded papers he had written on and walked out.

He closed the door, listened to the direction the sound disappeared in, and flipped over the wall several times, chasing after the direction the person had disappeared in.

However, this person's lightness skill was extremely fast, and Qin Yu couldn't keep up with him at all.

They didn't chase after him for very long, fearing they would be discovered, and they didn't plan to pursue him any further.

I stopped and was about to turn around.

But the next second, I felt a pair of eyes on me.

Qin Yu's vigilance was immediately aroused, and he held his breath, sensing his surroundings.
