But she never intended to cross the line and actually have something happen, after all, she was about to get married, to become the young lady of White Gazelle City.
Indulgence before marriage was common among the nobility, and even if something did happen, one could always visit a Magician to restore their chastity.
Yet to her surprise, she had been drugged and everything had occurred with Suo Lun, and she was caught in the act, her affair exposed.
From then on, wealth and honor eluded her, and she transformed from a phoenix into a fallen chicken; how could she be content?
Now, Ashi Liren had actually ordered her to serve this tutor, yet she couldn’t care less.
In her eyes, when had there ever been a place for such a scholar?
However, come evening, she suddenly appeared before Suo Lun again.
At that time, Suo Lun was lying on a chair reading a book; she pretended to trim the candle for Suo Lun and then stood aside.
"Is there something?", Suo Lun asked.
Fu Yan’er asked, "I heard Mr. Yan just returned from visiting friends in Rage Wave Kingdom?"
Suo Lun nodded, "Yes."
Fu Yan’er continued, "Then, has Mr. Yan heard about Suo Lun?"
Suo Lun was taken aback, then nodded, "I have."
Fu Yan’er asked, "How is he doing recently? Is his father still around? Has he become the City Lord of Tianshui City?"
Suo Lun nodded again, "He has become the City Lord of Tianshui City."
Fu Yan’er’s eyes lit up, then a flash of resentment crossed them, and finally, her gaze shifted as if she was plotting something.
"Thank you, sir. I’ll take my leave now," said Fu Yan’er.
Suo Lun was skilled at reading people, and he knew what Fu Yan’er was planning; she couldn’t stand the life of poverty and yearned for luxury.
But BaiHuo City was no longer an option for her, and White Gazelle City was even less likely. The only place that could offer her wealth and splendor was Suo Lun’s Tianshui City.
Though she knew she couldn’t be Suo Lun’s wife, she was, after all, the mother of his daughter.
Fu Yan’er was a typical lazy and vain aristocratic woman, but she was particularly beautiful and sensual, which is why she still got involved with Suo Lun years ago, despite knowing that she was about to be married.
After reading a book for over an hour, Suo Lun lay down on the bed to sleep.
Suddenly, several shadows broke into Suo Lun’s room and forcefully pinned the sleeping Suo Lun to the bed.
Suo Lun woke up abruptly!
Immediately, he saw four martial youths restraining his limbs.
Then, a ten-year-old boy approached him slowly, a dagger in hand.
This little boy had a tiger-like vigor, was extremely handsome, but his eyes were bright and cunning, no doubt this was Ashi Yuanba, Ashi Liren’s son, and Suo Lun’s future pupil.
He came to the bedside, placed the dagger on the critical area between Suo Lun’s legs, and said, "I heard you want to be my tutor, but my tutors must always be eunuchs."
Then, he pressed the dagger against Suo Lun’s privates and said, "I give you two choices, resign to my mother tomorrow and leave, or I’ll castrate you right now and make you a eunuch."
Suo Lun knew Ashi Liren’s son was unruly, but he didn’t expect him to be so lawless as to castrate his tutor.
And, children around the age of ten are fearless, capable of doing anything really, his dagger truly poised to cut off Suo Lun’s manhood.
Of course, the four martial youths were no match for Suo Lun; he could easily have broken free.
But, the character Suo Lun was playing, Yan Zi Yu, was a frail scholar, and any struggle would reveal his flaw.
The only thing Suo Lun could rely on now was his gift of the gab.
The wild child, Ashi Yuanba said, "You must make a choice, be castrated by me, or leave. I’ll count down from five."
"One, it seems I’ll have a eunuch tutor. It’s going to hurt, just endure it!" The wild child’s eyes shone brightly as he prepared to bring down the knife and castrate Suo Lun.
At that moment, a smile suddenly appeared on Suo Lun’s face.
