My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 104 - 88 Breakthrough Opportunity【6600 words】

Night.

Yesterday, sleeping in the Four Directions Hall was anything but restful. Li Nuo felt a great sense of peace today as he lay in his familiar bed, his wife beside him, inhaling the sweet fragrance of her body.

Just as she lay down, not yet asleep, Li Nuo remembered something and asked, "Wife, how many cultivation techniques have you practiced?"

He had grown accustomed to talking with his wife for a bit before falling asleep each night.

It seemed like a trivial routine but it subtly increased the familiarity between them.

Song Jiaren, with her eyes closed and hands stacked outside the quilt, faintly responded, "One."

After a pause, she inquired, "Why do you suddenly ask?"

Li Nuo explained, "Yesterday, a major crime occurred at the Four Directions Hall. An envoy from Chu Country was killed... The murderer had secretly mastered an additional cultivation technique and nearly deceived everyone."

Song Jiaren remarked, "What a pity, to cultivate two distinctly different cultivation techniques to the fourth realm shows his excellent talent. Had he focused on one, he might have already reached the Grandmaster level."

After a brief silence, she asked another question, "That young lady yesterday, was she a Princess?"

Li Nuo clarified, "Her name is Li Anning. Though she truly is a princess, she is quite down-to-earth and a nice person. Also, she's a Law Practitioner, having reached the fourth realm... By the way, wife, who would be stronger, a fourth realm Martial Artist or a fourth realm Law Practitioner?"

Song Jiaren thought for a moment and said, "Haven't fought, so I don't know."

Li Nuo was imagining what it would look like if his wife and Li Anning were to fight when Song Jiaren suddenly mentioned, "By the way, Miss Shen from the Shen Family came today, wishing to discuss poetry with you."

"Ah?"

"She even brought a handkerchief embroidered with mandarin ducks. I'll give it to you tomorrow."

Li Nuo hurriedly replied, "No need, no need, I don't know anything about poetry..."

Song Jiaren said, "Song Yu says you write good poetry..."

Li Nuo yawned, "What does Song Yu know about poetry, let's sleep, I'm tired..."

The next day.

After getting up and washing, Li Nuo did not have breakfast right away but instead exercised in the courtyard, practicing a Health Care Skill his wife taught him.

This body was still too weak; even without following the Martial Path, he needed to exercise and enhance his physical conditioning.

The movements of this Health Care Skill were not complex and took about fifteen minutes to perform completely.

After finishing the routine, Li Nuo felt not a trace of fatigue but was rather filled with energy.

With the government office reopening today, Li Nuo took a bath, changed his clothes, and continued to resolve cases at the County Magistrate's Office.

Li Anning told him that, even though he was currently at a bottleneck, the cases he judged were not in vain; once his cultivation broke through, every case judged during this period would transform into cultivation for Legalism.

This was the advantage of having a predecessor's guidance; these little details weren't written in the Legalism Classics.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the County Magistrate's Office again accumulated a backlog of cases.

Li Nuo was busy all morning and still had nearly half of the cases left unaddressed.

He planned to return to the Song Residence for lunch and continue in the afternoon.

Upon returning to the Song Residence, Li Nuo had just stepped down from the carriage when he spotted two familiar faces.

One was the son of the Minister of Transportation, Zhou Yu, and the other was the son of the Vice Governor of the Capital, Pei Jun.

Both had previously been spanked by Li Nuo at the Chang'an County Government for brawling with Song Yu.

Seeing them again, Li Nuo was slightly startled.

Today, both men were bruised and limping, looking quite bedraggled.

Zhou Yu had someone on his back, while Pei Jun supported him from behind. On closer inspection, the person Zhou Yu was carrying was none other than Song Yu.

Song Yu's injuries seemed more severe than theirs; his face was swollen, and he was groaning on Zhou Yu's back.

Moments later, Song Residence.

In Song Yu's courtyard, looking at the miserably beaten Song Yu, Li Nuo asked, "Who did this?"

Song Yu, with his head down, replied in a low voice, "Brother-in-law, let this matter go."

Li Nuo inquired, "Did you start it?"

If Song Yu was the instigator, indeed, Li Nuo should not interfere.

But if the fault lay with the others, he wouldn't stand aside.

He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

As Pei Jun applied medicine on Zhou Yu's face, he explained, "It really wasn't us starting trouble this time. It was Li Yuan who first broke the rules, insisting on taking Miss Yuan Yang out to accompany him for drinks. Song Yu merely spoke out of justice, and for that, he was brutally beaten..."

Song Yu shot him a look and interrupted, "Pei Jun, stop talking!"

He looked at Li Nuo and said, "Brother-in-law, let it be. I admit my defeat this time. If I can't afford to provoke him, I can still avoid him. He wouldn't dare do anything serious to me anyway..."

Being able to beat Song Yu and the others to such an extent meant the opponent's status was not ordinary. Li Nuo had been worried about not finding someone to help him break through, and now it seemed like someone had delivered a pillow as he was about to ned.

He glanced at Song Yu and asked, "What's his background?"

But this time, Song Yu's tone was very firm, saying, "Brother-in-law, please just listen to me this time, let this matter go..."

Zhou Yu also added from the side, "Yes, Brother Li, that Li Yuan is the eldest son of Marquis Yunyang, a real noble of Chang'an. Even if you bring him to the government office, it won't make a difference."

Li Nuo wanted just these kinds of nobles. Li Anning had said that as long as he kept seeking trouble with these nobles, breaking through would be a matter of minutes.

However, before taking action, he needed to understand the full story.

Seeing Song Yu hemming and hawing, Li Nuo turned to Zhou Yu and demanded, "Tell me exactly what happened."

Song Yu frantically signaled Zhou Yu with his eyes.

Zhou Yu looked hesitant, unsure whether to speak or not.
