Chapter 470: The Young Master of the Number One Building

“Su Yu, tell me about this person’s identity,” Wang Jinhe asked.

“The young master of the Number One Building, Lou Manqing,” Su Yu revealed the person’s identity to Wang Jinhe.

Wang Jinhe looked a bit puzzled. Even though she had been in this world for two years, she was still unfamiliar with the distribution of power in Xuan Empire.

When Su Yu mentioned the Number One Building, she found it quite strange.

“The young master of the Number One Building is a special figure in Xuan Empire. They produce  excellent weapons and are the top intelligence organization. Their scale is at least twice as large as the Flowing Toast Pavilion in my hands. Lou Manqing doesn’t even have to kneel and bow when meeting the emperor, as it was an honor bestowed by the late emperor to the Number One Building. The plaque at the Number One Building’s mansion was personally written by the late emperor. What do you think of such a status?” Su Yu teased with a smile, playfully flicking Wang Jinhe’s nose.

Wang Jinhe nodded repeatedly. “This status is really great. It’s the kind of status that Gu Xiruo would like. But I don’t think he necessarily will be interested in Gu Xiruo.”

Su Yu paused for a moment, then laughed and said, “Jinhe, you’re really clever. I have to say, you’re right. He indeed won’t be interested in Gu Xiruo. But it would be simple to have him seduce someone.”

Wang Jinhe looked at Su Yu speechlessly. What did he mean by “seduce someone”? Couldn’t he speak more conventionally?

“Why are you telling me this?” Wang Jinhe asked.

“I think if Lou Manqing knew you said that, he would definitely come after you,” Su Yu said with a laugh.

Giving Su Yu a disdainful look, Wang Jinhe felt that Su Yu was the kind of person who would take advantage of any opportunity.

“I’ll leave it to you,” Wang Jinhe patted Su Yu on the shoulder and then went about her own business, leaving Su Yu to his own devices.

Su Yu chuckled and shook his head. This girl was really something else.

Su Yu went back to the manor to get paper and pen to write a letter to Lou Manqing.

….

“Young master, a letter has arrived.”

The man lay lazily on the soft couch, propping up his head. “Hand it over.”

The person below passed the letter to the man, who, after reading it, suddenly exploded in anger. “That damned Su Yu, how dare he ask me to seduce a woman? What does he take me for?”

The messenger who had delivered the letter to Lou Manqing watched as the man, who had just been lounging lazily on the soft couch, now exploded in anger, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

It seemed that only Su Yu could bring such liveliness to this extraordinary master.

“Young master…”

“Do you know where Su Yu is right now?” Lou Manqing interrupted the person below and asked.

“I do.”

“Prepare a gift and get a child’s sword ready,” Lou Manqing instructed.

When Su Yu got married, he had been unable to attend due to other commitments. Now, he was going to visit, and he couldn’t go empty-handed for his wife and child, could he? If he didn’t bring something, that guy would surely make a fuss.

But why did he inexplicably have to deal with someone from the Gu family?

“Forget it, I’ll go find him myself.”

Lou Manqing went to the armory and selected a sword, a practice sword, and some self-defense weapons.

One of Lou Manqing’s subordinates looked at his master with a headache. “Young master, the family’s child is still very young. Is it appropriate to give him weapons?”

“Given that guy’s abilities, would he not teach his own son martial arts? If he’s learning martial arts, he’ll naturally need weapons. He may not need them now, but he will in the future,” Lou Manqing said. The person below heard Lou Manqing’s words and didn’t dare to continue speaking, only watching as he rummaged through the armory.

After preparing the items, Lou Manqing, accompanied by his two guards, hurried to find Su Yu. Perhaps even Su Yu didn’t know that his letter had summoned that extraordinary man.

So when Su Yu saw Lou Manqing in Xie Family Village, his mouth twitched. “Why are you here?”

“You ask me to do something and then don’t allow me to come find you?” Lou Manqing looked at Su Yu discontentedly. He didn’t know what was wrong with this guy. Anyone could come to find him, but he couldn’t go to them. This time, he had found an opportunity.

Su Yu rubbed his forehead helplessly and said, “Just be gentle and don’t scare my son.”

“I’m so good-looking. Who could I possibly scare?” Lou Manqing pointed to his face. Could his face really scare anyone?

Su Yu sighed softly. Was he talking about his appearance? Indeed, no one could compare to Lou Manqing in terms of looks, but his personality could make people keep their distance.

“Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to your son and Wife,” Lou Manqing assured.

The key is that he wouldn’t dare to do anything. If he did, this guy would definitely cause trouble for him.

“Where’s your son? I heard from others that your son looks just like you, but in a smaller size. He must be a lot of fun,” Lou Manqing asked eagerly.

“He’s practicing martial arts.”

“It looks like I guessed right. I brought some weapons for my nephew. Let’s see what he likes to use,” Lou Manqing said happily. He knew that Su Yu would definitely teach his son martial arts.

Su Yu responded with a simple “Thank you.”

Su Yu returned accompanied now by new people and saw four children. One of them was at most two years old, yet was already practicing martial arts with great seriousness.

“I remember you only have one son. How come there are three more children?” Two of them were probably six or seven years old.

“Xiao Zhi is my adopted son, and Hong Yi and Chang Le are my nephews.”

Chang Le… That should be the name of the legitimate eldest princess of Xuan Empire. So, the little one who is only two years old should be Xuan Feiran’s son.

Lou Manqing frowned at Su Yu. “Aren’t you supposed to stay out of court? If you let Qiming know about this, he will come looking for trouble. After all, when he asked for your help, you told him that you stay out of court.”

Now, a person who stays out of court is actually teaching the emperor’s children?

“He has been causing trouble for me for a long time,” Su Yu said casually, showing no concern.

“What are you saying? What’s going on?” Lou Manqing asked.

Su Yu briefly explained, and after hearing it, Lou Manqing’s face darkened. “Qiming has a lot of nerve.”

“Do you want me to help you get rid of him?” Lou Manqing looked at Su Yu with a sinister expression, as if the other person was not a prince, but just an ordinary person.

“Not for now. He’s not doing well at the moment,” Su Yu shook his head.

“Why?” Did Su Yu take action?

If he did, Qiming would be in trouble, Lou Manqing believed.

“He’s been targeted by Wan Gu,” Su Yu said.

Lou Manqing turned to look at Su Yu. Was he telling the truth?

Su Yu nodded with a smile, confirming it.

“In that case, Qiming should take care of himself. That guy is much better at playing with poison than he is at practicing medicine,” Lou Manqing said. It was clear that Lou Manqing was familiar with Wan Gu.

“Now, he only listens to you,” Lou Manqing said with emotion.

What was he like the first time he met Wan Gu? And what is he like now?

Although he is still as arrogant as ever, there is now an additional restraint, and that is Su Yu.
