There is a happy inn in the capital.

Chapter 230 My Only Wish

Lao Ba turned around and carefully examined Li Shuchen before asking, "Is Miss injured?"

Li Shuchen: "Oh, don't worry, I'm not hurt. He just touched me and that was it. He didn't seem to have any intention of killing me; I even thought he was quite kind."

Old Eight frowned and said, "Miss, this man is unpredictable and can kill without leaving a trace. It's very dangerous to keep him at the inn."

Li Shuchen thought about it and realized that Lao Ba was right. If he didn't attack her, he might attack someone else. Her inn had so many guests; it was dangerous, far too dangerous.

"Eighth and Ninth Brothers, keep a close eye on Mr. Jiehuo. I'll be right back."

"Yes, miss." *2

The eighth and ninth brothers went out of the house and hid in the shadows to observe.

Li Shuchen mounted Li Wanbai and rode without stopping to Yaqingxuan to find Yiling, urgently saying...

"Yiling, I've found Young Master Song's master."

Upon hearing this, Yi Ling smiled broadly: "Master? What about Song Lang?"

Li Shuchen: "I didn't see Young Master Song, but his master definitely knows his whereabouts."

Yiling excitedly grasped Li Shuchen's hands and said, "Where is Song Lang's master? I want to see him!"

Li Shuchen frowned and said, "He's at my inn right now, but he has a rather strange temper and is quite powerful. I'm afraid he might hurt you."

Yi Ling smiled and shook her head, saying, "No, I trust Song Lang's judgment. He would never choose someone unreasonable as his master. Shu Chen, take me to see him."

Li Shuchen pursed her lips and said, "Alright then."

She pulled Yiling along as they walked out, but Yiling suddenly stopped and said...

"Shu Chen, wait a minute, do you think my outfit looks good today? Is it appropriate?"

Li Shuchen looked her over carefully and said, "Yiling is always very proper, and this dress is beautiful too."

Upon hearing this, Yi Ling straightened her clothes and smiled.

"That's good, let's go."

The two arrived at the Happiness Inn. As they went upstairs, Li Shuchen instructed, "Yiling, be careful when you see him. After you enter, I will stand guard at the door. If anything seems amiss, call me immediately, understand?"

Yiling nodded: "Okay."

During the conversation, they arrived at the door of the "Perfect Harmony" room.

Li Shuchen gently knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Jiehuo, it's me, Li Shuchen."

Mr. Answerer: "What is it?"

Li Shuchen smiled and said, "Your disciple's sweetheart has come to visit you. Would it be convenient for you to meet her?"

Mr. Answer: "Convenient"

Li Shuchen patted Yiling on the shoulder and said, "Go and be careful."

Yiling: "Mmm"

She moved gracefully into the house, and Li Shuchen closed the door for her, then squatted down at the doorway to guard her.

Why was she squatting? Because she dared not stand, fearing that the fortune teller's straw hat would fly over and blind her.

Following the proper etiquette, she bowed and said, "Bingli greets Master Jiehuo."

The fortune teller smiled inwardly but not outwardly, saying, "Hmm, please sit down."

Yi Ling: "Bing Li thanks you, Mr. Explanation."

The Master of Enlightenment said, "I am a man of the martial world, and there is no need for such formalities. You should also refrain from calling me 'Master of Enlightenment,' as it sounds too distant. Li'er, you should just call me 'Master' like Yuhe does."

Yiling smiled and said, "Yes, Master."

The fortune teller took a sip of his wine and said, "Li girl came to me to ask about the whereabouts of Yuhe?"

Yiling nodded: "Master, I've searched the entire capital but haven't found any news about Song Lang. Where did he go? Why is he hiding from me?"

The fortune teller took another sip of his wine and said leisurely, "Girl, did he join the army?"

Yi Ling frowned slightly: "Join the army?"

Mr. Jiehu got up and walked to the window, slowly recounting what had happened.

"Two years ago, he practiced martial arts alone according to a book, without any guidance. He accidentally suffered a qi deviation and almost died. Fortunately, I happened to be traveling and saved him."

Later, he diligently practiced martial arts with me, showing extraordinary diligence. He spent his days practicing martial arts except for eating and sleeping, finding no other enjoyment. When I asked him why, he replied that he wanted to join the army, earn merit, and secure a position for himself, only wishing that you would marry him in style.

Upon hearing this, Yi Ling's eyes welled up with tears, her voice slightly hoarse: "Song Lang actually went to such lengths for me."

The fortune teller sighed and said, "This boy is pure and kind, but also stubborn and obstinate. No matter how I try to persuade him, he won't listen. He says his only wish in this life is to marry you. In the end, I gave up and let him be."

Yiling got up and walked to the window, saying, "Bingli's only wish in this life is to marry him. I will wait here for his safe return."

Li Shuchen squatted by the door and overheard the entire conversation. Yi Ling was indeed Ye Bingli.

The old man didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards Yiling.

That's true. He loves her because of her; Yiling is his precious disciple's sweetheart, how could he bear to lay a hand on her?

It's already mid-March. Changning said that Yuying had already recaptured all the cities by mid-January. Considering the one-month journey back to the capital, she should have arrived there by now. Could it be that she's still fighting?

Yu Ying hasn't replied to her letter in so long, could something have happened to her? No, she has to go find Chang Ning and ask if she has any news about Yu Ying.

Li Shuchen jumped up, went downstairs, and rode his horse to the Aiyoutang.

"Giddy up, giddy up, whoosh!"

Li Shuchen entered the pediatric ward and called out, "Changning, Changning."

Princess Changning stepped out of the room and said, "Li Shuchen, why are you in such a panic?"

"Let's go inside and talk."

Li Shuchen pulled Princess Changning into the inner room.

Princess Changning: "What exactly happened?"

Li Shuchen whispered, "Has Yuying written to me recently?"

Princess Changning slapped her forehead and said, "Oh dear, look at me! I've been so busy lately that I forgot. It's all my fault for making you worry. Yuying has already taken Prince Jiwa's head and will be returning to the capital soon. Judging by the time, she should be on her way."

Li Shuchen breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this: "That's good, that's good."

Princess Changning: "Don't worry, Yuying is so capable, she'll be fine."

Li Shuchen nodded. Although Yu Ying was indeed capable, she still felt a little flustered, though she didn't know why.

Princess Changning poured Li Shuchen a cup of tea: "Why did you suddenly think of Yuying?"

Li Shuchen took a sip of tea to calm his agitated state and said, "Young Master Song has gone to join the army."

Princess Changning: "Join the army?"

Li Shuchen smiled like an aunt: "Yes, I want Yiling to marry him in a grand way."

Princess Changning: "He really is a man."

Li Shuchen put down his teacup: "Once Yuying returns to the capital in triumph, Yiling will be able to see Young Master Song. When they get married, we can even go to their wedding banquet."

Princess Changning smiled and said, "If they really get married, I will definitely send a generous gift to congratulate them."

Li Shuchen nodded: "Me too. Yiling is still at my inn. If you have nothing else, I'll head back."

Princess Changning: "In a couple of days, I will invite craftsman Kong to carve the words on the stone tablet. Shu Chen, you should also come and take a look."

Li Shuchen: "Such a big event, of course I had to come. I'm leaving now."

Princess Changning: Let's go back.

Li Shuchen rode back to the inn and squatted down in front of the "Perfect Harmony" room, pressing his ear tightly against the door.

Why is there no sound at all in here?
