My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 232 - 125 Li Anning’s Proposal

Jade Sound Pavilion.

Li Nuo had said yesterday that he would gift Phoenix a manual on Health Care Skill.

Today, on his way to the Ministry of Justice, as he passed by the Jade Sound Pavilion, he conveniently brought her the manual.

Giving someone fish isn’t as good as teaching someone to fish; better than gifting some precious tonic, it was more effective to solve the root cause of her frail constitution.

This "Sutra of the Pure Woman" was specifically chosen by his wife for her.

Even without a foundation in Martial Path, practicing it twice daily could gradually improve her constitution, preventing her from being unable to walk from the slightest fright.

Inside a second-floor room, Phoenix accepted the manual and said, "Thank you, young master."

Li Nuo waved his hand and replied, "Remember to practice every day, it’ll be greatly beneficial to your health."

Phoenix nodded obediently and said softly, "This servant will."

Having delivered the gift, Li Nuo briskly turned and took his leave.

Watching his crisp departure, Phoenix, with the "Sutra of the Pure Woman" in her hands, sighed leisurely, "Does this Jade Sound Pavilion truly hold nothing that could make him linger a moment longer..."

Nightingale stood beside her and said, "Give up; you’re not his type. Besides, what if he really did fall for you? What then, would you truly offer yourself to him?"

Nightingale made a lot of sense. Phoenix looked at her and said, "Why don’t you give it a try? Perhaps you’re the type he likes."

Nightingale indignantly answered, "I am your own sister!"

Phoenix said with a smile, "That’s why I want to find you a good family to marry into. The son of the Si Minister of Daxia is not prominent enough for you? Everything is for the greater good. It’s just a pity I don’t have as flat a chest as you. Otherwise, I would have made my move..."

...

Li Nuo didn’t find out what happened later at the Jade Sound Pavilion.

He had just arrived at the Ministry of Justice when he learned of an unexpected event from Li Anning.

The Huang couple’s murder case was solved.

Li Nuo was surprised, "How was it solved?"

He and Li Anning had put so much effort into the case, posing as a married couple, going undercover, without finding even a hair of the murderer; but, having slept just one night, the case was inexplicably solved.

Li Nuo quickly learned of the details from Li Anning.

Indeed, flowers do not blossom from intentional planting but grow in abundance when unintentionally sowed.

Last night, a wealthy family in Chang’an had been robbed, and the thief was caught on the spot by several protectors; this morning, he had been brought to the Ministry of Justice.

Afterward, the Ministry of Justice found various stolen goods in his house, including antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and jewelry. The variety of stolen items was numerous and diverse.

The man could not explain the origins of these items, and it was clear that the source of the goods was not clean.

If it had been just a theft, that would be one thing; the maximum penalty for simple theft was three years of imprisonment and exile for three thousand miles.

But when searching his residence, the Ministry of Justice noticed that the soil in a certain part of the backyard was unusual.

They thought there would be hidden stolen goods.

After digging deeper, they unearthed a blood-stained garment.

This changed the nature of the case.

Back at the Ministry of Justice, the man initially claimed he had accidentally stained the garment while slaughtering chickens, but under the power of the Great Memory Restoration Technique, he soon recalled the events.

Days ago, he had entered a wealthy household to steal.

With his cultivation at the True Qi Realm, breaking and entering was as easy as could be for him.

Against the rich and powerful, even if there were household protectors, their strength was usually not that strong; even if discovered, he could still escape unscathed.

During his search for valuables, he made a bit too much noise, waking the sleeping homeowners. He had intended to flee, but the husband and wife were relentless, insisting on capturing him to face the authorities.

In a rage, he killed the couple and then escaped.

To avoid revealing his abilities, he pretended to struggle with the couple for a while, creating the false impression that the murderer was not skilled in Martial Path.

Relying on his power at the True Qi Realm, he had exclusively targeted wealthy families and had never failed.

However, just last night, he encountered a tough match; the household’s guardians included four at the Third Realm, and he was captured on the spot after the heist.

He had not properly disposed of the bloody clothes at home, and the murder was uncovered.

Compared to the King of Blockage, Zhao Dong, this man was clearly an amateur thief.

But his strength was not insignificant; he stole solely on the basis of his cultivation, not through superior Stealing Technique.

It was not surprising that someone like him was not noticed and recruited by the Thief Sect.

Li Nuo asked, "Where is the case file?"

Li Anning brought out a case file, saying, "I’ve kept it for you."

All the constables of the Ministry of Justice were under her command, and since the case was cracked by some of her constables who didn’t practice Legalism, the right to use the seal ultimately fell in her hands.

Li Nuo did not stand on ceremony and stamped two seals on the document.

The numbers on the Law Code had not increased, but neither had they decreased.

His cultivation had reached a bottleneck, and it was not his achievement that the case was solved, so it was normal his life span did not increase.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

However, the numbers on the Law Code also did not decrease, indicating that the case had not been misjudged.

The Huang couple had indeed been killed by this man.

He was curious as to how two ordinary people, the Huang couple, had pursued a criminal with True Qi Realm strength so persistently, forcing him to murder them, but the Law Code has never made a mistake, there was no doubt this man was the real culprit.

It turned out he and Zhao Dong, coincidentally and consecutively, had chosen the same target on the same night, confusing the sightlines of everyone, including Li Nuo.

Now that the real killer had been caught, the case had finally come to an end.

Putting away the case file, Li Anning looked at Li Nuo and said, "By the way, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you; I might need your help."
