Chapter 2925: You haven't noticed the problem yet?

Seeing the middle-aged man appear, Bai Yu felt doubtful in his heart, but after a slight hesitation he still smiled and spoke.

Brother is here too.

The middle-aged man was named Wang Yu; like Bai Yu, he was an elder of the Feather God Tribe, and also the brother of his wife, though not by blood but an adopted son.

But all along, Bai Yu had treated Wang Yu as family; over the years Wang Yu often came to their home, so Bai Yu never thought anything was strange.

This time was no different; after exchanging greetings, the beautiful woman smiled charmingly and said.

Husband, during these days you were away, the household has relied heavily on your brother's care.

Thank you, brother.

Sigh, we're family; why say such things?

In response, Wang Yu waved his hand with a bold expression, as if it were nothing worth mentioning.

Meanwhile, Bai Yu was still sighing in his heart, completely unaware of the flirtatious glances exchanged between Wang Yu and his own wife.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, it was natural to inquire about Bai Yu's recent outing.

For this, Bai Yu had surely prepared his excuse beforehand; after some casual talk, he aroused no suspicion.

Hearing that Bai Yu had narrowly escaped death outside and only just managed to flee back from the Barbarian God Tribe, the beautiful woman's face flashed with a hint of regret.

She thought, "Why didn't this guy die out there?"

But that was just a thought; she certainly couldn't show it on her face.

They chatted for about an hour or so before Wang Yu finally took his leave.

Husband, I'll see brother off.

Okay.

Immediately, the beautiful woman escorted Wang Yu all the way out of the Dong Fu; seeing no one around, she then spoke.

Brother, this guy didn't die; what should we do now?

Then you personally take care of sending him on his way.

Hearing this, Wang Yu's face turned icy cold, completely unlike his earlier spring-breeze demeanor.

I have obtained that dual cultivation technique; if I employ the Yang-absorbing method, in a state of no defense, one use can completely drain Bai Yu's Yang energy, after which he won't last long.

But…………………

You're worried he might be on guard? Heh, my dear sister, don't you know how beautiful you are? Over these years he's long been bewitched by you, his mind and soul in turmoil.

What the brother says is correct.

The two lingered a while longer, after which the beautiful woman returned alone to the Dong Fu.

Upon entering the room, she indeed saw Bai Yu still sitting there, expressionless, unknown what he was thinking.

Seeing this, the beautiful woman immediately approached with a smile, speaking as she moved to sit on Bai Yu's lap.

Husband, I miss you.

Hmm.

Originally, in the past, faced with her initiative, Bai Yu had essentially no resistance; the two were like dry tinder and a spark, igniting instantly.

But this time, Bai Yu didn't even lift his head, merely giving a faint 'en', and then actively pushed her away.

Seeing this, the beautiful woman was startled and asked doubtfully.

Husband, what are you……………

I'm a bit tired.

Hearing this, Bai Yu finally raised his head, spoke with a slight apology, then rose and walked toward the rear courtyard's secret chamber without looking back.

What the hell time is this; who has the leisure to think about this? Right now, staying alive is the most important—if you're dead, what's the point of playing around?

But the beautiful woman didn't know these things; seeing his attitude extremely cold, Bai Yu was now utterly unlike his former self, standing alone in place, a flash of icy chill in her eyes.

After so many years of marriage, Bai Yu had never been this cold toward her; since they met, that fool had always treasured her like a jewel, holding her in his palm—how could he be like this now?

Such a huge contrast must have a cause; but what exactly could have made Bai Yu's attitude toward her change so drastically?

Feeling strange in her heart, suddenly the beautiful woman's thoughts raced: could it be that the brother's affair has been exposed?

The more she thought, the more plausible it seemed; after all, this was the only possibility.

Besides that, what else could cause Bai Yu's attitude toward her to undergo such a sudden, huge change?

Just thinking that the matter with the brother might already have been noticed by Bai Yu made the beautiful woman unconsciously panic.

She herself is a person of little ability; these years, if not for Bai Yu, her status in the tribe would not be as high as it is now.

At most she'd be just an ordinary member of the Feather God Tribe.

Even her brother Wang Yu's elder position was attained thanks to Bai Yu; for this, Bai Yu had paid a considerable price back then.

So now, at this critical juncture, the beautiful woman instead found herself at a loss.

Using the dual cultivation method given by her brother to kill Bai Yu, the problem is that it requires the target to have no defenses, even to actively cooperate.

Otherwise, given Bai Yu's cultivation, trying to forcibly absorb his Yang would be impossible.

But now, Bai Yu clearly suspects something; this tactic definitely won't work.

Having no clue, feeling vexed and agitated, after confirming Bai Yu had indeed entered the secret chamber, the beautiful woman hurriedly left the Dong Fu to seek her brother.

Wang Yu had just returned to his own Dong Fu, and at this moment he was leisurely sipping immortal tea.

During the time Bai Yu was away, he had indeed been living comfortably, monopolizing the younger siblings, mainly because he didn't have to take responsibility.

Now that Bai Yu has returned, it's also a good chance for him to rest.

But before he could even catch his breath, the beautiful woman came rushing to the door.

Seeing her, Wang Yu's face darkened as he spoke.

How did you come here?

What the hell, are you acting so arrogant now? Not avoiding people at all?

Your husband just came back, and you dare come to my house? Are you trying to tell everyone that we're having an affair?

Faced with Wang Yu's questioning, Mei Furen didn't have time for anything else, and hurriedly spoke.

"Older brother, something happened."

"What happened? Bai Yu died so quickly?"

"No, it's him…………………he has already noticed our affair."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

As soon as those words were spoken, Wang Yu's first reaction was that it was absurd; after so many years, Bai Yu had never noticed, how could he possibly notice suddenly now.

Furthermore, he and Mei Furen were always extremely careful, and besides, they had the sibling relationship as a cover—how could that idiot possibly discover anything.

As for this, Mei Furen was absolutely certain, and she even embellished Bai Yu's earlier behavior when she recounted it.

Anyway, according to what Mei Furen said, that was exactly her original plan to lure Bai Yu into taking the bait and then seize the opportunity to practice that dual cultivation technique.

But from the start, Bai Yu showed utter disdain, and his gaze toward her was filled with disgust.

If he hadn't discovered something, how could he possibly show such a look.

Under Mei Furen's lengthy explanation, Wang Yu himself fell into silence; if that were really the case, then perhaps they had indeed been exposed.

"But it's strange—how did that idiot figure it out? After all these years he had no suspicion at all, so why did he notice now?"
