Her eyes drifted over to him as she said with a charming laugh:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My, I was wondering who was out scaring people so late at night. It turns out to be Elder Black Tooth~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Weren’t you going to collect the reward for that business deal? What are you doing here at this hour? Did you get the silver coins?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Tooth remained unmoved. His icy, emotionless eyes stared at her as he asked, enunciating each word:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where. Did. You. Go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yuxue’s expression didn’t change. She smiled and replied, \"Elder, you ask even though you know. I was worried there was an issue with Liu Wu’s identity, so I personally went to see Liu Wen to confirm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And what was the result?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There were no problems, of course~ That Liu Wu really is one of Young Master Liu’s men. I made the trip for nothing~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Tooth studied her for a moment, then gave a slight nod. \"Is that so... I misjudged you. I thought you were going to leak information about the deal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lou Yuxue feigned annoyance. \"Elder, you worry too much. I belong to the Bright Moon Building, just like you. How could I be so reckless?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you still haven’t said, is that sum of silver in your hands yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Naturally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s wonderful. Then I must congratulate you, Elder, on another great achievement. I’m sure the leader will reward you handsomely upon hearing the news~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Tooth gave a noncommittal response. Just as he was about to take a step, his gaze suddenly shot toward the alley entrance behind him. His eyes turned icy as he asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who’s there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his words, Chen Yi’s heart skipped a beat. ’I’ve been discovered?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could think further, he suddenly felt an ice-cold killing intent wash over him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was coming from Black Tooth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Chen Yi was certain that Black Tooth had found him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind raced, and he stopped concealing his presence and aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his first move wasn’t to show himself. Instead, he took off the mask on his face and stuffed it into his cloak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after doing this did he speak up with a laugh. \"Elder Black Tooth, you truly live up to your reputation as a Martial Arts Powerhouse of the Upper Three Grades. I was so careful, yet you still found me. I’m impressed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he walked to the mouth of the alley and rounded the corner to look at the two people inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him, Black Tooth was slightly surprised. \"Liu Wu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yuxue was just as astonished. \"What are you doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi glanced at her, his smile slowly turning cold. His tone became sinister as he said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why am I here? Don’t you know, Miss Yuxue? I, of course, followed you all the way here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of shock and suspicion crossed Lou Yuxue’s eyes. \"Followed me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi snorted. \"You didn’t think I was unaware of you going to the Liu Family to test me, did you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once last night, and again tonight. Heh, do you not trust me, or do you not trust my Young Master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, his eyes were locked on Lou Yuxue’s, a hint of mockery in his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Hidden Guard Lady Tiger, heh, go on and deny it if you dare.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lou Yuxue saw the look in his eyes, her heart filled with even more alarm and uncertainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew perfectly well that her claim about going to the Liu Family to test Liu Wu was utter nonsense, said only to allay Black Tooth’s suspicions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, she was certain that what this Liu Wu before her was saying must also be false.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Then...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If Liu Wu didn’t follow me here from Kangning Street, then where did he spot me?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Was it outside the West Market?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Or at the tailor shop in the West Market?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Was it before or after I entered the shop?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought of these terrible possibilities, of her identity as a Hidden Guard potentially being exposed, made Lou Yuxue’s scalp tingle with dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, with Black Tooth right there, even though she knew Chen Yi was lying, she had no choice but to play along for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, if Black Tooth noticed something was amiss, neither of them would escape unscathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please understand, Liu Wu. I was just trying to be absolutely certain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Chen Yi laughed inwardly. He looked at the outwardly composed Lou Yuxue and said mockingly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that weren’t the case, why would I have tolerated it time and again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Black Tooth, you’ve gone a bit too far this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, Black Tooth looked at him, then at Lou Yuxue by his side, and slowly shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The matter is of great importance. I hope Brother Liu Wu can forgive this minor indiscretion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Chen Yi’s expression relaxed accordingly. He pursed his lips and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you’ve put it that way... I, Liu Wu, am not an unreasonable person, especially when it concerns my Young Master’s grand plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if there’s a next time, don’t blame me for getting rough with her!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As it should be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Tooth nodded in agreement. His earlobes twitched slightly, and he continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is no place to talk. Why don’t we go to the Spring Rain Building to discuss things?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi nodded. \"Perfect. My Young Master had a matter for me to discuss with you anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been planning to go to the Spring Rain Building all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although there had been a complication, he had no intention of changing his plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them then made their way toward the Spring Rain Building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, Lou Yuxue was clearly preoccupied, her gaze falling on Chen Yi several times, yet she didn’t dare say a single word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi, of course, noticed this, but he wasn’t worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What was that saying again?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I know how deep you’re in, and you know... I’m a \"ghost.\"’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, he and Lou Yuxue were in the same boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both knew the other was lying, but they were both wary of Black Tooth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi didn’t believe Lou Yuxue would dare to expose the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, the three arrived at the Spring Rain Building and headed straight for the private room on the top floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Black Tooth didn’t stay. He left ahead of them, leaving Lou Yuxue alone to attend to Chen Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>",1201,"2026-05-30T04:08:05.490Z","2026-06-01T04:30:16.742Z",1,"novelbin.me","8954daf1dfad00c2b4f937cae89e27b327eba8cd72dfda87b879fb36ec067e1b","you-promised-to-be-an-idle-son-in-law-how-could--chapter-214","you-promised-to-be-an-idle-son-in-law-how-could--chapter-212",225,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyou-promised-to-be-an-idle-son-in-law-how-could--cover.jpg"]
