My Wife is A Sword God

Time flows like a river, and the scenes of a month quietly pass between one’s fingers.

During this period, aside from his regular daily cultivation, Qin Feng devoted himself to practicing the Three Thousand Qi Observation Technique, and thinking about how to fulfill the promises he made in the past.

Inside the Moonlit Pavilion Pavilion, Manager Peng had just returned from Qiyuan City and was reporting on the operation of the branch.

Excitement filled his face, “Young Master, although there are only three branches in Qiyuan City, the monthly profits are enough to rival one-fifth of the monthly profits of Jinyang City. The biggest chunk of profits comes from the third-floor restaurant specially set up for esteemed guests.”

Qin Feng raised an eyebrow, feeling impressed. Indeed, Qiyuan City, being an old Heavenly City, had many wealthy patrons.

Looking at the hefty money box piled in the room, Qin Feng couldn’t help but think of the white-robed figure disguised as a man.

The profits from the Moonlit Pavilion Pavilion had to be shared with that person.

‘I wonder where she is at this moment. Could it be Yulin City? After all, she is the young master of the Gathering Treasures Pavilion in Yulin City.’ Qin Feng muttered to himself.

It wasn’t that he wanted to give away the share; after all, what merchant is eager to give away money for free? It’s just that, seeing the great success of the Qiyuan City branch, he wanted to spread the operating model of the Moonlit Pavilion Pavilion throughout the entire Great Qian Dynasty, similar to the Gathering Treasures Pavilion.

The young master of the Gathering Treasures Pavilion, who disguised herself as a man, could provide significant help in this regard.

However, Yulin City was too far from Jinyang City, and he couldn’t confirm if that person was in Yulin City at the moment. So, this idea remained inactive.

Manager Peng continued enthusiastically, “The best decision I’ve made in my life is coming to the Moonlit Pavilion Pavilion and following you, Young Master. It’s just a pity that Jinyang City is too small, and you, Young Master, can’t fully unleash your capabilities. If you were to enter the Imperial Capital Heavenly City, you would undoubtedly make a significant impact!”

Manager Peng firmly believed in this.

Qin Feng raised an eyebrow, and Manager Peng’s words reminded him of the sporadic scenes he saw while practicing Star Observation.

Since his father moved the family from Imperial City to Jinyang City, he hadn’t returned to the capital. It had been more than ten years in the blink of an eye. He wondered when he would return to Imperial City.

‘The water in the Imperial City is very deep. If you really go there, you have to navigate like a dragon or crouch like a tiger. How can it be so easy to do something big?” Qin Feng smiled and shook his head.

After leaving Moonlit Pavilion and heading to the Demon Slaying Department, Chief Zhou has not returned yet.

Calculating the time, more than a month has passed, and he doesn’t know what happened in Imperial City.

In front of the desk, Si Zheng looked at the piles of official documents, with a troubled expression.

Jinyang City has become a vital location, though not officially designated as the Heavenly City. Daily affairs seem to have increased significantly.

He hasn’t experienced the pleasures of the brothel for a long time.

“The city has established a protective barrier, and the defense force has become stronger, resulting in a growing population. I heard that many beautiful girls have been recruited into the brothel, but unfortunately, I haven’t had the time to visit.”

Qin Feng looked strange, “Senior Si, you’re not getting any younger. Stop lingering in those places and find a good family to settle down with.”

“Heh, now you’re giving me advice? Look at the trivial matters surrounding me; where do I find the leisure to talk about love and romance with women?”

“It’s just an excuse. You simply prefer all sorts of public affairs and dislike private matters, that’s all.” Qin Feng smirked.

“Speaking of which, after the disaster in Shuliang City, Chief Zhou left for the Imperial City. Why hasn’t he returned yet?”

Shi Ziming finished reviewing the official document and put it aside. He stood up and poured himself a cup of tea. While drinking, he said, “Who knows? Maybe he just wanted to relax a bit from his usual intense schedule.”

“Chief Zhou is not that kind of person.” Qin Feng shook his head.

“Heh, the environment can change a person. The prosperity of Imperial City is beyond imagination. I’ve been there once, and all the girls in the brothel are charming. Pick any, and she could become the top courtesan here. Maybe Chief Zhou is immersed in that gentle paradise and can’t extricate himself.”

“Chief Zhou is not like you,” Qin Feng was about to speak when he suddenly widened his eyes. Behind Si Zheng, at the entrance of the hall, the figure of Chief Zhou appeared.

“Senior Si, don’t talk nonsense. Imperial City is, after all, the imperial capital, and the procedures are complicated. Just meeting the emperor requires passing through many checkpoints. Chief Zhou might be delayed by something important.”

“What important thing could take so long?” Si Zheng raised his eyebrows. “Chief Zhou may hold grudges, but he’s not here now. Why are you still so cautious? In my opinion, he must be enjoying himself in Imperial City.”

At these words, Qin Feng’s heart skipped a beat, urgently signaling with his eyes, but Si Zheng, apparently nursing a long-standing grievance against Chief Zhou, had opened the floodgates and couldn’t shut them again.

“Chief Zhou is good in everything, except that he’s too serious. He meticulously reads every single document; when will this work be finished? Moreover, he always has that solemn expression. People who don’t know him might think he has no sense of humor.”

“I’ve never seen someone as petty as him.”

Seeing Chief Zhou’s face turning darker, Qin Feng silently lowered his head, not wanting to get involved anymore.

After about half an incense stick’s worth of time passed, Si Zheng, done venting, breathed out a sigh. Having voiced his thoughts after the tedious task of reviewing documents, he felt considerably more relaxed.

After finishing the tea, he looked at Qin Feng and asked, “Why do you look like that?”

Qin Feng didn’t answer, and just showed a bit of sympathy.

Feeling something amiss, Si Zheng hurriedly turned around, only to see Chief Zhou’s face as dark as the bottom of a burnt pot.

“Chief Zhou, when did you come back?” Si Zheng stammered.

“At the moment when you were saying that I was immersed in that gentle land and couldn’t extricate myself from it.” Zhou Kai, expressionless, walked past Si Zheng, sat on the desk, and glanced at the piles of documents.

“It has only been just over a month, and there are so many official documents left. It seems that I was too kind to you in the past.”

At these words, Si Zheng staggered, almost losing his balance.

“I have something to discuss with Lord Si. Qin Feng, you can go back for today. It won’t be long before the imperial edict from the Emperor will reach the Qin residence.”

Qin Feng originally wanted to stay a little longer and watch the excitement. Hearing this, he immediately showed a surprised look.

“Imperial edict? Chief Zhou, what imperial edict?”

“You will know later.”
