How did I, a mere son-in-law lying down, become a "Fenglang Juxu" (a legendary martial art

Liu Shan felt a chill run down his spine, knowing full well that his father-in-law's words were true, but he was unwilling to give up just like that.

However, he also knew very well that curiosity could not only kill the cat, but could also endanger himself and even affect the entire Li family.

Despite his deep reluctance, he decided to follow his father-in-law's advice.

For the next two days, life seemed to return to its usual calm.

Liu Shan continued to focus on his cultivation, as if the events of that night had never happened.

But on the third day, Liu Shan suddenly noticed that Jiang Ruolan had disappeared.

Fortunately, Xiao Yue was still in the manor. After he asked her several times, the little girl revealed some information.

It turns out that Jiang Ruolan left the valley on her master's orders.

As for the specific details of her master's orders, Xiao Yue didn't know either.

"Why didn't you bring some people from your residence with you? Or could you have asked me to come along?"

Liu Shan frowned. Jiang Ruolan was a young woman who didn't know anyone in the area, and now she just left like that. It was quite worrying.

Xiao Yue reassured her, "Don't worry, my senior sister is very capable, she should be fine. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry."

Liu Shan sighed. Now that the man had left the mansion, there was no point in thinking about it anymore.

However, given Liu Shan's current combat strength, if he goes along, he might actually hinder Jiang Ruolan.

He decided to focus on cultivation. Only when he became strong could he do whatever he wanted and protect the people he wanted to protect.

……

The next morning, Li Wanqing suddenly invited Liu Shan to go to the theater together.

This really surprised him.

In his view, Li Wanqing would only show him a tiny bit of favor if he showed great ambition.

But lately, besides practicing martial arts, he hasn't done anything else...

Therefore, this trip to see the play was clearly for a specific purpose.

Just after breakfast, Li Wanqing urged Liu Shan to go out early.

Although Liu Shan felt something was amiss, he didn't ask any further questions. After quickly tidying up, he and Li Wanqing each boarded a carriage and headed towards the theater.

That's right, he and Li Wanqing each rode in a carriage.

Initially, Liu Shan intended to share a carriage with her, but Li Wanqing refused on the grounds that "men and women should not touch each other."

Liu Shan was extremely helpless. What the hell is this about men and women not being allowed to touch each other?

Even if we take a step back and say that he is her husband in name only, how could she have the nerve to use such a lame excuse to brush it off?

It was as if he really would try to grope her in the carriage.

Just then, Liu Shan, whose mind was wandering, suddenly thought of something else.

From their wedding night onward, Li Wanqing threatened him with violence, demanding that he always keep a certain distance, and also proposed a "three-point agreement".

However, all of this is based on the premise that Li Wanqing is stronger than him in martial arts.

However, Liu Shan had already cultivated internal energy and become a near-third-rate master, while Li Wanqing... if nothing unexpected happened, she would probably just be a second-rate martial artist.

Liu Shan secretly pondered that if he could overpower her militarily, he might be able to change the current passive situation.

However, he quickly abandoned the idea.

Because he knew that the essence of marriage was not a contest of strength, but mutual understanding and respect.

Using force to suppress her will only make their relationship more distant.

Lost in thought, the carriage rolled over a stone, causing Liu Shan to stumble.

Before he could react, Tian Fugui's apologetic voice came from outside the car door.

Liu Shan sighed. This couldn't be blamed on Tian Fugui. After all, his specialty was autopsies, not transporting corpses, so it was understandable that he couldn't drive.

At the same time, he was thinking that it was time to find a groom.

The coachman can't be too old, otherwise communication will be difficult.

In addition, the groom's name should be as auspicious as Tian Fugui's, preferably containing the character "Ping An" (平安). When combined with Tian Fugui's name, it forms the phrase "Fugui Ping An" (福贵平安), a perfect match!

In his previous life, Liu Shan didn't believe in metaphysics, until quantum mechanics and neutrinos were discovered, until he traveled to a dynasty never recorded in history...

Lost in thought, Liu Shan opened the window and looked up at the magnificent opera house at Tian Fugui's prompting.

The industry buildings of this era are still very distinctive.

The brothel was not tall, only three stories high, but both its exterior and interior decorations were extremely luxurious, with carved beams and painted rafters, and a magnificent golden splendor.

The opera house, however, is quite different. It is five stories high, with each floor decorated with exquisite dark wood carvings, giving people a sense of historical weight, as if they are in a thousand-year-old civilization.

This opera house is called "Guyuntang". It is said to have existed since the previous dynasty and has continued to this day, so it is indeed a place with a long history.

Before Liu Shan even got out of the car, he heard the familiar noise.

He recognized the voice immediately; he knew without even looking that it was coming from the two maids, Lin Nanjia and Wei Xiuying.

Because of what happened at the hunting grounds, Liu Shan became closer to Lin Nanjia and Wei Xiuying. "Hey~ little sister, it's been so long, I've missed you terribly."

Lin Nanjia spat, "Pah, we don't miss you at all, hehe."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, they entered the theater together.

Upon entering the theater, Liu Shan's eyes were opened to a whole new world.

In the center of the theater stands a huge stage, seven or eight meters high, surrounded by a five-story-high audience seating area.

Because the seats are level with the stage, the second-floor seats are the most expensive, while the first and fifth-floor seats are relatively cheaper.

Liu Shan noticed that even the seats on the first and fifth floors were completely full, which shows how famous "Gu Yun Tang" is.

Led by Lin Nanjia, the group arrived at the best spot on the second floor.

After taking their seats, Liu Shan and the other two sipped the tea served in the theater and chatted about everyday things.

Only Wei Xiuying sat quietly to the side, her gaze fixed on the empty stage, occasionally revealing a puzzling smile.

Liu Shan was curious about Wei Xiuying's unusual behavior and asked, "Miss Wei, what's so special about that stage over there that fascinates you so much?"

Wei Xiuying snapped out of her reverie and gave Liu Shan a vague response.

Liu Shan turned to Li Wanqing and asked, puzzled, "What's wrong with her?"

Li Wanqing glared at him and said reproachfully, "Drink your tea. Remember, don't look at what you shouldn't look at, and don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

Despite his confusion, Liu Shan listened to Li Wanqing's advice, stopped asking questions, and began to slowly savor the tea.

After an unknown amount of time, the atmosphere inside the theater suddenly reached its peak.

The crowd screamed wildly, and some women even shamelessly declared that they wanted to marry so-and-so.

Liu Shan then realized that this might be the ancient fan culture?

The scene was exciting, yet also frightening.

Liu Shan quickly noticed that Li Wanqing and Lin Nanjia both had a look of disdain in their eyes, and they looked down on these actors from the bottom of their hearts.
