My Wife is the World’s Greatest Divine Martial General

“My name is Bai Linyue, and you’d better remember it. Although my family lives quite far from here, my uncle Bai Wangzhi has settled in Lianchen Town. You can come directly to the government office to find me. I want to see if there’s any justice in this world that allows the abduction of women in broad daylight.”

“Bai Wangzhi… isn’t that the County Magistrate’s name?”

“My goodness, this woman’s uncle is actually the County Magistrate of Lianchen. It’s hard to believe.”

“Wang Hu has always been running wild in town, relying on his father’s wealth. I didn’t expect him to hit an iron plate this time. I wonder if he can survive this.”

“His father has plenty of silver and can save his only son even if it means losing everything they own.”

“That’s not certain. Didn’t you hear that Bai Linyue say her family isn’t from here? Her uncle is the County Magistrate, not to mention her family might have other high officials. And from her accent, she sounds like she’s from the capital—probably from a prestigious background.”

“I’ve heard about the County Magistrate’s family. They’re the renowned Bai family from the capital. Not only are all the direct descendants officials, but I heard that this year, Minister Bai’s only daughter, Bai Qian, was sent to the palace as a concubine!”

“So impressive! Wang Hu won’t be able to act so arrogantly anymore.”

After Bai Linyue finished speaking, Gu Yu’s heart skipped a beat.

Then, the chattering of the onlookers made Gu Yu smile bitterly, feeling that he hadn’t checked the almanac before going out today and had somehow gotten himself involved in such a big trouble.

Now he only hoped this woman wasn’t too unreasonable, as Gu Yu was very much in favor of resolving matters through sensible conversation.

Otherwise, he could only counter each move as it came.

Although Gu Yu could use his spatial storage to take Bai Linyue away, a person disappearing into thin air would definitely cause a massive uproar.

After all, in this feudal ancient era, people believed in all kinds of supernatural beings, and Bai Linyue’s status wasn’t low. Gu Yu feared that… they might arrest all the onlookers as well.

If they couldn’t find the culprit, everyone might be dealt with together.

So, he still had to see how the situation unfolded.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, Gu Yu didn’t plan to reveal his spatial storage ability.

“Why aren’t you talking now? Weren’t you quite formidable earlier? Saying you wanted to take me to your home? I’d really like to see what kind of place your home is, to have raised such scum.”

“…It’s a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. My heart was blinded by lard. I offended the Young Miss, I truly deserve to be beaten!”

By revealing her identity, Bai Linyue clearly showed she had no intention of letting Wang Hu off the hook. So when Wang Hu remained silent for a long time after falling to the ground, she immediately questioned him again.

This made Wang Hu’s already pale face turn even whiter. After hearing that Bai Wangzhi was Bai Linyue’s uncle, even with a hundred times more courage, he wouldn’t dare touch this woman again.

What bad luck! He had finally encountered a beautiful woman, but she turned out to have a background that he couldn’t afford to offend.

Now he was in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.

After saying a few words to salvage the situation, as his brain rapidly searched for a solution, Wang Hu’s eyes darted around.

Then, seeing Gu Yu standing obediently beside Bai Linyue, Wang Hu’s eyes lit up, feeling he had found someone to take the blame.

Since Bai Linyue already thought this man was his accomplice, why not use him?

Dying for the young master Wang would be a worthy death!

“Miss Bai, I’m truly sorry. I’m not usually such a frivolous person. It was this man standing beside you who kept encouraging me earlier, persuading me to approach you.”

“Oh? What did he encourage you to do?”

“He kept saying how beautiful you were. At the time, I didn’t pay much attention, but who would have thought that after seeing Miss Bai, I discovered it was truly…”

“Stop. Are you saying this person told you I was beautiful?”

Before Wang Hu could continue, Bai Linyue interrupted him. Her eyes suddenly became bright and sparkling as she turned to look at Gu Yu, giving him a strong sense of foreboding.

This woman… she couldn’t have taken a liking to him, could she?
