It’ll attract unwanted attention.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You jest, my lord. You drew attention before, too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi glanced at him, ignoring the flattery. He looked toward the figure outside the door and ordered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From now on, have him follow you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s a waste of talent for someone so young to be idling away in this residence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ji quickly assented and gestured to the short, slender youth outside. \"What are you waiting for? Come thank my lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This young man, Zhang Dabao, was the Jianghu expert in the Disguise Skill whom Wang Ji had found for Chen Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was both true and untrue to call him one of the Jianghu People.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be precise, Zhang Dabao had just completed his apprenticeship and was about to step into the Jianghu when he was recruited by Wang Ji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the fact that his Disguise Skill came with recommendations meant he was certainly skilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His master, after all, was a famous master thief in Shu State, nicknamed \"One Finger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Legend had it he once stole his way from South City to North City using only a single finger, his hand never missing its mark. Since then, his name had become legendary in the thieving circles of Shu State.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides his ultimate thieving technique, \"One Finger\" was also a master of the Disguise Skill, which he often used to evade capture by the Government Office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Dabao had learned everything he knew from \"One Finger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Wang Ji found him, he was planning to follow in his master’s footsteps and make a name for himself by accomplishing the grand feat of stealing his way from the east side of Shu State City to the west.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Wang Ji hadn’t made such a high offer, the lands of Shu State might already be abuzz with tales of a master thief named \"Two Fingers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chen Yi’s satisfaction, the young Zhang Dabao couldn’t help but grin. \"My deepest thanks, my lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though time was short, he had relied on his superb skills to craft a \"human skin mask\" for him, just as Chen Yi had requested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it wasn’t real human skin, but a \"mask\" made of a special material.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It not only had realistic skin texture and fine hairs but could also be padded to simulate different bone and muscle structures, completely altering a person’s appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the disguise he had made for Chen Yi did just that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From any angle, Chen Yi bore no resemblance to his former self.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for his build and a certain indescribable air about him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, after his praise, Zhang Dabao added a reminder, \"My lord, appearance is only one part of it. If you want to completely become someone else, you’ll also have to change your...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish, Chen Yi understood. Without moving his feet, he gave a slight shrug and clasped his left hand behind his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined with the calm expression on his face, his entire demeanor instantly became far more aloof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Dabao stared blankly, rubbed his eyes, then broke into a wide grin. \"A lord is a lord, after all. I can’t see a single flaw.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though blunt, Zhang Dabao’s words were far more pleasing to Chen Yi’s ears than Wang Ji’s earlier flattery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grunted in acknowledgement and instructed Wang Ji, \"Only four people know about this. Make sure no one else finds out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ji naturally gave his assurance. \"Rest assured, my lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides me, Yan Sea, and Zhang Dabao, absolutely no one else will know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi nodded and walked toward the door. \"Remember, my public name at Hundred Herbs Hall is Chen Yu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, the three of them arrived at Hundred Herbs Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Sea glanced over curiously, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Wang Ji clap his hands and announce with a smile to the surrounding Guards, Physicians, and apprentices:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the boss of our Hundred Herbs Hall, Chen Yu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s made a special trip to see how things are going.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone from Hundred Herbs Hall turned to look at Chen Yi, as did the customers buying herbal teas and medicines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundred Herbs Hall had been open for some time and had recently caused quite a stir in Shu State City, so it naturally attracted attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides Wang Ji, the Shopkeeper, many people were more interested in the mysterious boss behind Hundred Herbs Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There had been some rumors in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some said Hundred Herbs Hall was a Xiao Family business that hadn’t been publicly claimed for some reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some said it was the work of some Divine Doctor from the Jianghu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others guessed it was some great Noble Family from outside Shu State, who had come specifically to support the Xiao Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The theories were many and varied, but no one could say for sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the boss of Hundred Herbs Hall had appeared, it was a decent piece of gossip for these people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s the boss of Hundred Herbs Hall? He certainly has a dignified bearing. He looks like he comes from a great family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do I get the feeling he’s one of the Jianghu People? He has a bit of a cold air about him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never mind the discussions in the hall; Yan Sea and the others were too preoccupied with bowing respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greetings, Proprietor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Liu Lang did the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he bowed, he breathed a small sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky was already dark, and the person who had promised last night to heal his injuries still hadn’t appeared. He’d been starting to think he’d been tricked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he had finally arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that the person before him was somewhat different from what he had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strikingly handsome and cold, unlike the easygoing person he’d spoken with the night before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi paid no mind to the thoughts of those around him, simply saying in a level voice, \"Everyone, back to your work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Proprietor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Yan Sea and the others continued to attend to the customers, Chen Yi signaled for Wang Ji to take Liu Lang to a quiet room and to bring the box of Silver Needles along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ji brought Liu Lang over, looking perplexed. When Chen Yi waved a dismissive hand, he left without another question, despite his confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Lang looked at Chen Yi, who was sitting at the table preparing tea, and asked with a half-smile: \"Senior?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi glanced at him and asked faintly, \"Don’t I look the part?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Lang shook his head and sat down across from him. \"You were gentler last night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile touched Chen Yi’s handsome face, a hint of his nonchalance returning. His tone grew more casual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One has to wear a disguise when away from home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him act this way, Liu Lang looked him up and down before bursting into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss Chen, this must be your real face, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s not,’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi thought. He cut to the chase. \"I’ll ask you one last time: are you sure you’ll agree to my terms?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Lang was momentarily stunned, then replied, \"I have roamed the Jianghu for years, and I have never once broken my word. You can rest assured on that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In that case, sit still.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sit still? I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Liu Lang could react, Chen Yi waved his hand and lightly tapped the box by his side, and his True Essence began to flow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, a needle pierced his left shoulder, followed by another at his Chest Acupoint, and a third below his right pectoral muscle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Silver Needles formed a straight line, each one landing perfectly on his wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Lang froze, staring at Chen Yi in shock. He was utterly dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had long heard legends of \"Divine Doctors\" in the Jianghu, but seeing it for himself, he realized the rumors had been far too conservative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could \"miraculous\" even begin to describe this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was... it was simply divine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi had no time to care about Liu Lang’s thoughts, focusing only on using his True Essence to repair his damaged meridians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than a quarter of an hour, he waved his hand and instantly retracted the three Silver Needles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Lang paused, looking at him blankly. \"It’s done?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s done just like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So fast?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Chen Yi put the Silver Needles back into the box, he instructed, \"I’ll leave a prescription with Wang Ji later. Drink it for three days, and you’ll be fully recovered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember not to fight with anyone during this time, lest your newly repaired meridians rupture.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Lang remained stunned for a moment. When he finally came to his senses, he stood and clasped his fist in admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please forgive me for my ignorance. I hope you will pardon my earlier impudence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He was utterly convinced. An injury that had tormented him for days had been healed in less than an hour. Anyone would be in awe.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi glanced at him. \"You must not get out much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Lang gave a dry laugh, then sat up straight again and said seriously,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you have healed my injuries, I will be sure to fulfill every part of our agreement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi grunted in acknowledgement, thought for a moment, and said, \"As it happens, I have something I need you to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am at your command.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know about the Three Towns of Shu State, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Lang smiled and nodded. \"Who doesn’t? Those garrisons are the foundation of the Xiao Family’s power in Shu State.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need you to find people to burn the summer grain that was just put into storage in the Three Towns.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Lang’s smile froze, the shock even greater than before. \"Y-y-y-you... are you insane?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Burn the summer grain of the Three Towns? If I really do this, even ten heads won’t be enough to pay the price.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Damn it, this is one \"command\" I’d like to \"refuse\"!’\u003C\u002Fp>",1791,"2026-05-30T04:08:05.489Z","2026-06-01T04:30:16.742Z",1,"novelbin.me","1ef71088e94e7c8ea6acfef750842bdc070861baf1061fd765adee0b1039a1fd","you-promised-to-be-an-idle-son-in-law-how-could--chapter-151","you-promised-to-be-an-idle-son-in-law-how-could--chapter-149",225,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyou-promised-to-be-an-idle-son-in-law-how-could--cover.jpg"]
