Chapter 495: He Would Dare to Promise Anything to Make His Wife Happy

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Huangfu Lingyao couldn’t boast about being highly educated, but he was a man who could write political essays, understand national policies, and strategize military formations. If he had to start from scratch, painstakingly teaching someone stroke by stroke, he might as well bash his head against a wall!

Therefore, he needed to put a stop to his wife treating him like a son and meticulously teaching him how to write.

“Sure.” Liu Shimei was blissfully unaware of how she perceived him as a naive fool. Seeing that he recognized many characters, she said, “When I have time, I’ll come and test you again. Just to confirm if you really know a lot of characters!”

He made an effort to recognize them; he remembered quite a few, and Liu Shimei believed in him.

After all, he wasn’t truly a 5-year-old child. At 13, due to illness, he had been left with this unfortunate state of low intelligence. So, anytime he managed to pick something up, he might excel even more than many others!

“Alright!” Huangfu Lingyao not only understood the concept of giving an inch and taking a mile but also knew when to stop while he was ahead.

However, Liu Shimei added, “In that case, should I find a master for you? You used to practice martial arts. I can find a master to help you relearn martial arts and regain your skills!”

Huangfu Lingyao was taken aback.”!!!”

He quickly responded, foolishly asking, “What’s the use of learning martial arts?”

Liu Shimei laughed, saying, “Of course, it’s useful! If you learn martial arts, you won’t have to worry about losing in fights in the future. If I’m not by your side, you won’t get beaten up either.”

Huangfu Lingyao,

His wife had seriously misunderstood him if she thought he wouldn’t get beaten up just because she was around.

But he had dug this pit himself; what could he do now?

He asked cautiously, “So… Wife, what kind of master do you plan to find for me?”

Surely she wasn’t thinking of having Zhong Lang teach him?

To his surprise, he was right on the mark!

Liu Shimei replied without hesitation, “I didn’t know your level at first. Let Zhong Lang test you, see where your skills are, and then I’ll find a suitable master with Jiu Ge for you. What do you think?”

Initially, when she started speaking, Huangfu Lingyao wanted to refuse. But when his wife asked, her voice soft and tender, “What do you think?” he found himself saying, “Sure, I’ll listen to my wife!”

In the next moment, he wished he could bite his own tongue off!

His big mouth! He dared to agree to anything just to please his wife!

Who was Zhong Lang?

One of the top five martial artists in all of Jianghu©! He was known as the one you’d never defeat! Zhong Lang already harbored suspicions about him!

Let Zhong Lang test his martial arts level… Wasn’t that just setting himself up to be humiliated?

But he couldn’t bear to see disappointment in his lovely wife’s eyes, so he rashly agreed to this extremely dangerous proposition!

Luckily, Huangfu Lingyao cleverly tried to salvage the situation, “But Wife, can I focus on learning to read first before practicing martial arts? I…”

He scratched his head, looking aggrieved, “I have to spend most of my time with Wife. How can I find time to practice martial arts? If I have to focus on both reading and martial arts, I’ll forget everything if I lose my concentration!”

Mainly, his wife said she would personally test him on reading, which meant he would be with her all the time. But if it came to martial arts, she would leave him in someone else’s hands!

How could he accept that?

“Sure!” Liu Shimei agreed readily!

After all, he was still a child; she couldn’t force him to learn too much all at once, or it might backfire.

Take it one step at a time, no need to rush!

Huangfu Lingyao finally felt a bit relieved, thinking, ‘I’ll have to find a way to make her forget about this in the future!’

Before long, the two of them arrived at the Yong’an Inn in a horse-drawn carriage.
