Why do I have so many masters?-Chapter 301 - 11 First Encounter, Discussing How to Restrain a Righteous Gentleman (Thanks to Alliance Leader Mingyue Qingfeng) (1/2)
Just moments ago, Wang Anfeng had left a medicine on the body of the black-clothed martial artist. It was the legitimate heir’s miracle medicine from the Medicine King Valley, colorless and tasteless, neither harmful nor beneficial. No matter how profound one’s martial arts were, it was extremely difficult to detect, except by the core divine skills of the Medicine King Valley lineage, the Mixed Yuan Body, which could sense it.
When one’s skill reached the First Rank in the world, it could be traced from thousands of miles away.
Wang Anfeng allowed the martial artist to leave before turning to walk back towards his own courtyard. As for the carpenter…he had just come out, precisely to provide space for those who were prepared to test him. Discover exclusive content at novelbuddy
On his way home, the person he needed to protect had not yet arrived.
Wang Anfeng thought for a moment and decided to cook the pork he had bought along the way. He marinated it with green onions, ginger, and garlic for a short while, then placed it directly into the steamer. Meanwhile, he sat beside the stove, casually fanning the flames while slowly regulating his breath, cultivating his inner Qi.
Shaolin is the ancestral forest of Zen Buddhism, where every action and movement is cultivation.
When the aroma was rich and the inner Qi had circulated through the Third Heaven, a knock on the door was heard.
Wang Anfeng’s eyes slightly opened.
He stood up, thinking that the person outside must be the one he needed to protect. He first glanced at the food beside him, then walked to the door and pushed it open just a crack, revealing a graceful young lady standing outside.

Her features were soft and her black hair, ink-like, hung smoothly. Her clothes were of high quality, clearly expensive. As Wang Anfeng opened the door, the young lady was about to knock, but stopped, her palm suspended in place as her sleeve slid down, revealing a stretch of fair wrist.
Wang Anfeng, seeing the person outside, felt no surprise.
In the city of Xi Dingzhou, the ’old master’ had only one granddaughter. When he asked Wang Anfeng to protect someone, the young man almost instinctively thought of this identity.
His expression unchanged.
He stepped back half a step, making room, without showing weakness, and with his right hand gesturing invitingly, he said calmly,
"Miss Tan, I presume…"
"Please come in."
The ’old master’ of Xi Dingzhou City was surnamed Tan, with the sole granddaughter named Yurou.
Tan Yurou.
The young lady outside raised her eyes and sized up Wang Anfeng before entering, but merely smiled, asking,
"Mister Wang?"
Wang Anfeng nodded slightly, responding warmly,
"Indeed, it is I."
Wang Anfeng thought that after the young lady confirmed she had not come to the wrong place, she would directly enter, but saw her instead jump back two steps, her features playfully shifting, as she clapped and crisply said,
"It’s here, I haven’t made a mistake!"
Wang Anfeng blinked, then seemed to realize something, his eyes slightly widening as he quickly stepped out and stood on the street alongside the young lady, his body somewhat stiff.
No need for a detailed observation, one only had to look around to see a long line of carriages, with at least twenty to thirty people between the drivers and the attendants, including a kind housekeeper, a shrewd accountant, and a roughly-handled yet warmly smiling cook among the attendants, with about a dozen strong men in pairs, each carrying various items.
A magnificent carriage engraved with dragons and phoenixes was encircled at the center, the carriage drivers also comprising strikingly beautiful young ladies with similar features to the one beside him, one dressed in red, fiery as blooming spring peach blossoms, the other as though wrapped in white snow, her demeanor cool and elegant.
Wang Anfeng stood frozen in place, staring blankly at the scene.
He felt as if his brain had been fiercely punched by a martial artist from Copper Man Lane, somewhat dazed by such an extensive entourage. Naturally, it aroused the curiosity of the surrounding locals, who gathered to watch. With the young man’s sharp hearing, he could hear the incessant whispering of the locals around him. A curious old woman nearby murmured in a low voice,
"Such a grand procession… is someone getting married?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at this family, look at this procession, just two words."
"Decent!"
An uncle nearby smacked his lips and said:
"The girl is a good girl, but I don’t know if this lad is a good one. He looks alright, but the girl has already reached the doorstep, and they don’t even bother to put up a big red ’happiness’ character for the welcome."
After saying this, he disdainfully glanced at the dumbfounded Wang Anfeng and sighed:
"Oh dear, I don’t know what got into this girl, falling for such a lad."
Wang Anfeng opened his mouth, feeling that at this moment, he had almost transformed into the Third Master. There seemed to be many words in his chest and belly, wanting to pour out, yet the education he had received since childhood prevented him from uttering even half a sentence.
He just pursed his lips and tightened his facial expression to prevent a look of confusion from inadvertently appearing. Carrying the fire-fanning fan, he strode past the procession.
In the team, the steward and the maidservants all reached out to stop Wang Anfeng, but having followed Hong Luoyu over the past two years, with his Qinggong now far beyond what it had been, how could they grasp him?
One by one, they all grabbed empty air, and Wang Anfeng had already reached the front of the carriage. With a tip of his toes on the ground, he dodged the hands reaching for him and landed on the shaft of the carriage.
The young woman driving the carriage suddenly raised her hand to push him away. Wang Anfeng firmly grasped her wrist with his right hand, slightly exerted force, and reversingly captured her arm. The short dagger that slid out of her sleeve was then firmly pressed against her neck, causing tiny beads of perspiration to appear on the girl’s fair neck from the sharp sensation.
Wang Anfeng slightly furrowed his brows.
Even as she was captured, the young woman driving remained as cool as snow, quietly looking at him and said:
"Please get down."
Wang Anfeng knew that the young woman had acted instinctively because he had suddenly climbed aboard, and not wanting the atmosphere to become too tense, he apologized and let go of her wrist, which by now had a red mark due to his firm grip. Just then, a gentle knocking sound came from inside the carriage.
The young woman in white glance at Wang Anfeng. The latter understood that the former wanted him to get off. He opened his mouth, somewhat unwillingly, but the principle of ’do not stare at women inappropriately’ he had been taught since childhood only allowed him to sigh helplessly and turn back to the ground.
Upon seeing him leave, the young woman then turned and entered the cabin.
Inside the cabin, there was soft whispering, but due to its special material, even Wang Anfeng couldn’t hear it clearly.
A moment later, the young woman turned and came out, her eyes holding something strange as she pursed her lips and said quietly:
"Miss said, we are a respectable family."
"Following proper rituals, without entering the house, the young master cannot see the true face yet."
The onlookers quickly shifted their gaze from Wang Anfeng, filled with disdain, to one of pity and admiration for the young woman inside the carriage, whispering praises from time to time, considering Wang Anfeng an impatient lecher while the lady as pitiable and adorable, a suppressed daughter from a decent family.
Upon hearing this, Wang Anfeng’s face stiffened, and he almost spat out blood.
I was only... trying to protect her.
Meanwhile, inside the carriage, the lady wasn’t sitting upright, shedding tears due to grievances as the neighbors might think. Instead, she lounged comfortably in her seat, her right leg raised, tapping her foot lightly, holding a white cat in her arms, her face full of triumph.
"Hide the books, guard..."
"Fall for my trick, you upstart."
