The wicked sister-in-law is in charge; meals include fish and shrimp.

Chapter 401 Wen Zi'an Remains Vigilant

We ate lunch early; two tables were set up in the courtyard, laden with hearty dishes.

Everyone in the family except Wen Zixun was present, as were Yan Che's family and Bai Qinghuan and her brother.

When Bai Qingyu gave the gift, Wen Zi'an stood firmly beside Wen Luozhi, like a guardian angel.

The burly, imposing figure terrified Bai Qingyu. Xie He smiled and subtly pulled him away.

"You brat! You're at it again, aren't you?! He only said a few words to Luo'er."

She whispered as she pulled Wen Zi'an toward Jiang Shuqian.

Wen Zian pursed his lips and sat not far away, still staring at Wen Luozhi.

Jiang Shuqian squeezed his hand to comfort him, "Didn't you say that Luo Zhi already has someone she loves? Why are you still so worried?"

She had never met Helian Yue, but her family had mentioned him to her several times.

Judging from the description, he must be a very good man, otherwise this young lady wouldn't have been interested in him.

What is there to worry about with Bai Qingyu? She seems to treat Wen Zijin somewhat differently...

"Sigh, my wife, think about it. If that person is never around, then we can't see each other. Can you compare the two?"

"Tsk tsk, it's not impossible for feelings to develop over time."

Wen Zi'an frowned as he spoke. To be honest, he greatly admired Helian Yue. In addition, Wen Zixun was still under his command. It would be a bit awkward if he and his sister really had some kind of rift.

What was said in jest was taken seriously by Jiang Shuqian. She suddenly pulled his ear close and said, "Husband, since you're at the manor, we can't meet. Does that mean there are other women there who are showing interest in you?"

Even if you didn't like it then, you still will later...

"No, my wife!"

Wen Zi'an hurriedly pulled her hand away to interrupt her explanation, while the young couple played around in the corner.

After finishing their meal and resting for a while, Wen Luozhi pulled Wen Zian into the courtyard for a friendly sparring session.

Wolf Overlord sat calmly in his chair, his eyes gleaming as he looked at Wen Zi'an holding the double hammers he had given him.

Xie He was startled when she saw the large object in Wen Zi'an's hand and wanted him to take it down, but Wen Luozhi stopped her.

"Mother, my fourth brother and I were just playing around, we didn't take it seriously."

Despite saying that, Wen Zizhou, who was nervous and expectant, had already handed her the spiked club.

Apart from her own family, no one else knew that Wen Luozhi was a very good fighter, and they were all worried for her.

Wen Luozhi took the spiked club, a confident smile playing on her lips.

She walked lightly toward Wen Zi'an, who gripped his double hammers and stood ready.

The two first circled each other, testing each other's strength. Suddenly, Wen Luozhi took a step forward and swung her spiked club with force. Wen Zi'an hurriedly used his double hammers to block.

The sound of the impact made everyone's hearts leap into their throats.

However, before they could catch their breath, Wen Luozhi launched a series of attacks at an astonishing speed.

Because the other party was his younger sister, Wen Zi'an was still somewhat hesitant. Wen Luozhi noticed this and whispered in his ear during the clash of their weapons, "Fourth brother, if you hold back any longer, I'll poke your butt with my spiked club later, hehe."

"Fourth Sister-in-law is watching you closely; you'll embarrass yourself in front of your wife."

She chuckled, and Wen Zi'an's ears turned red. He looked back at Jiang Shuqian and saw his wife giving him a thumbs-up.

Now he stopped holding back and launched a fierce attack on Wen Luozhi. The two chased each other, neither giving an inch.

In Wen Zi'an's hands, the double hammers were like two wads of cotton, and he used them without the slightest hesitation.

Wen Luozhi's petite figure weaved back and forth amidst the attacks of the twin hammers, moving so fast that she was almost invisible.

Ultimately, Wen Zi'an had the advantage in speed and size, and gradually he began to lose ground.

Just when everyone thought Wen Zi'an was about to be defeated, he suddenly shouted and his double hammers actually created a small whirlwind that temporarily forced everyone back.

"Fourth Brother, this is indeed a good thing!"

Wen Luozhi couldn't help but say something, thinking to herself that Lang Batian was actually quite reliable, at least he left such a decent weapon for Wen Zi'an.

After catching her breath, she attacked again, this time cleverly avoiding Wen Zi'an's counterattack. She struck Wen Zi'an's feet with her club, kicking up a cloud of dust, and then quickly raised her spiked club and swung it at the tree trunk behind him.

The yellow leaves fluttered down in a rush, and Wen Luozhi, standing under the tree, grinned so smugly that her lips almost reached her ears.

Wen Zi'an had no choice but to admit defeat, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Wen Luozhi dusted herself off, brushed the fallen leaves from her head, and said with a grin, "Fourth Brother, you're too kind."

"Little sister is indeed the best; fourth brother is completely outmatched."

Wen Zian scratched his head. Back at the mountain villa, he could easily take on ten opponents at once, even if he was one against Mu Zhuangzi and the others.

I never imagined that I would be nothing compared to my own sister.

How can someone be so amazing when they've never had a master to teach them? I suppose this is what Master Xia meant by talent.

Jiang Wan was a little dissatisfied with his loss, not with Wen Zi'an but with Xia Tingfeng.

When Xia Tingfeng left, she said many times that she should teach him all her skills, including how to write letters.

How come after being away at the mountain villa for so long, he still can't handle a few moves from the young girl?

Thousands of miles away, Xia Tingfeng kept sneezing as he wrote down an enhanced training plan for Wen Zi'an.

Feng Qian hesitated for a moment, then said, "Master, how can Zizi withstand such intensity?"

He glanced at the completed text, and he couldn't stand the first point alone.

Getting up in the middle of the night to run two laps around the back mountain? This...

That's asking too much of anyone!

The weather is already getting cold, and there will be snow in winter...

Xia Tingfeng looked up at him, then lowered his head and continued writing.

"You don't understand Zi'an at all. For someone with his physique, these are only slightly challenging and difficult."

There was a hint of pride in his voice. He had personally trained Wen Zi'an, and in such a short time, Wen Zi'an had already managed to hold his own against the old guys on the estate.

And those two hammers, I don't know where they got them from, they're really something. He had trouble even picking one up, but that kid wielded one in each hand quite skillfully.

Feng Qian chose to keep quiet. Wen Zi'an has always been very diligent, and maybe when he sees this training plan, he'll be so happy that he'll challenge them to a three-hundred-round battle.

……

The wind rustled the leaves in the courtyard at night. Wen Luozhi sat cross-legged on the bed, counting the silver she had received that day while playing with a luminous pearl.

She kept a pile of silver notes in a box, and before going to sleep, she would take it out and shake it to listen to the sound.

Satisfied, she put away the luminous pearl and lay on the bed, kicking her legs happily.

This is the first time in my life that so many people have celebrated her birthday; just thinking about it makes me happy.

She tossed and turned in bed, clutching her pillow, when a soft laugh suddenly came from beside the bed.

Just as Wen Luozhi opened her mouth to scream, a slightly cool hand covered her lips.

"Luo'er, it's me."

It was an incredibly familiar voice. Wen Luozhi excitedly reached out and pulled the hand off her face, tightly gripping it in her own hand.

What brings you here?

Before she could finish speaking, she was picked up and, just like before, flew away again in the blink of an eye.
