Chapter 570: Chapter 573: Should Not Bully Her Everyday_1

He must have been preparing for a long time.

Xue Ling wasn’t unmoved, just...

"Xue Ling, why are you standing still? Let’s go in," Yu Peng kindly reminded her.

Xue Ling didn’t immediately follow, instead turning to look at Yu Peng. It took her a while to respond, "Actually, it’s just a visit to your house, you didn’t have to go through all this trouble."

This would make her feel pressure.

"Are you referring to this yard?" Yu Peng laughed, "We do a big cleanup once every month at home. Today just happens to be the day for that, so your visit coincides with it."

"I see," relieved of pressure, Xue Ling followed Yu Peng inside.

...

Nan Feng slept until noon.

After the intense activities last night, she was feeling sore all over. It must be due to the lack of exercise, as she’d been focusing on business over the year.

Fengfeng was not by the bedside anymore, so Nan Feng had to get up with difficulty.

There seemed to be some activity in the courtyard, sounding like sword practice.

Nan Feng got dressed and gently pushed open the bedroom door.

In the courtyard, Fengfeng was indeed practicing his swordplay. He moved swiftly, his sword skills were superb, he would flip, leap, and the tip of his sword seemed to carry the wind. Fengfeng’s eyes were sharp, as if he was facing an enemy.

Leaves in the courtyard were fluttering about with Fengfeng’s movements.

Nan Feng found the sight captivating and stood by the door frame, watching in a daze.

After quite a while, Fengfeng finally put away his sword and walked toward Nan Feng. Although there were small beads of sweat on his forehead, his steps were light, and his breathing steady. It seemed as if last night’s battle and today’s morning training required no effort at all.

Nan Feng thought that she should start jogging again from tomorrow.

"Aren’t you tired?" Nan Feng asked with a smile, offering a cloth to wipe his sweat.

"Not tired," Fengfeng took the cloth, wiped his sweat, gave it back to Nan Feng, and put away his sword. "I made some porridge in the kitchen. I’ll get you a bowl."

...

"Fengfeng, I might not have time to come home and stay with you over the next few days. An official from the capital is retiring and returning to our county. High-ranking official Song will accompany him all the way, and I need to go along as well," Fengfeng said while eating his porridge.

"It’s okay, you do your thing," Nan Feng responded, "You’ve spent plenty of time with me these days."

"Are you complaining that I’m spending too much time at home?" Fengfeng asked with a laugh.

"I don’t mind you being home, but my back can’t handle it anymore. It’s really sore," Nan Feng said, rubbing her back.

"Let me take a look," Fengfeng pulled Nan Feng toward him and started massaging her back.

Indeed, he himself was strong as a tiger, but although Nan Feng had some martial arts foundation, she was just a sixteen-year-old girl. He couldn’t bully her every day.

"Fengfeng, is the official from the capital... is he the one we heard about in the restaurant? The one who used to be a favorite of the Emperor but suddenly retired?" Nan Feng asked.

"That’s him," Fengfeng answered casually while continuing to massage Nan Feng.

Nan Feng leaned her body onto him: "What does retiring and going back home mean? Does every official from Provincial City need to accompany him? Does he still have any actual power?"

"People of his level who retire and go back are usually granted land, inherit titles for generations, have some real power, and even have armies at their disposal," Fengfeng answered, he rarely discussed matters of the court with Nan Feng before.
