Volume 1: The True Purple Dragon – Chapter 11: The Wife Arrives

Chu Tianjie, whose temper was the most fiery, was laughing heartily when unexpectedly, someone came looking for trouble. He was about to curse loudly when he saw that it was actually a little girl. His eyes lit up, and his heart started pounding involuntarily. These days, children matured early, and Chu Tianjie himself was already approaching adulthood, having long experienced feelings between men and women. He was so shocked by the girl’s beauty that he stood there frozen, forgetting his original intention.

Chu Tianao, being older, no longer found ten-year-old girls attractive. He merely frowned and said, “Little sister, how can you speak like that? Our own people are just joking. Why do you start cursing right away?”

It was indeed Qin Nianran. She had originally come to look for Tianyu to see if he was truly stupid enough to not react to her intimidating aura or if there was some other secret. Instead, she witnessed what had just happened—especially Tianyu stammering foolishly and remaining unresponsive to everyone’s mockery. Her usual composed demeanor vanished instantly, replaced by intense anger. It wasn’t so much dissatisfaction with those who mocked him, but rather resentment at having to be engaged to such a fool. Although she said she didn’t care, things happening right before her eyes were another matter! That’s why she reacted as she did.

Nianran didn’t reply either. With a cold expression, she said, “I don’t care if you’re related or just joking. I absolutely forbid you all, you fools, from calling him a fool!”

When the words “absolutely not” reached Chu Tianao’s ears, a chill spread through his heart, making him shiver. He immediately lost any desire to argue.

The others also felt a chill, and Chu Tianjie, awakened by it, heard Nianran’s words. His temper as a young master immediately flared. After all, such stunning events were beyond the comprehension of a child his age. Ignoring how pretty the girl in front of him was, he raised his eyebrows, clenched his fists, and said in a ruffian tone, “Damn it, you little brat! Who did you call a fool? Don’t say I’m just joking with my own idiot cousin. Even if I really call him a fool, so what? He’s an idiot—always has been. I’ll call him an idiot. What’s the problem? And who do you think you are to call us fools? If it weren’t for you being a little girl, I would’ve beaten you already…”

Before her words faded, Nian Ran’s expression suddenly turned cold as her gaze shifted toward Chu Tianjie. Nian Chao, who had followed Nian Ran, saw his sister’s expression and heard her reckless words, then shook his head in distress, looking away.

Nian Ran slowly spoke, emphasizing each word: “I’m his wife…” Her eyes flashed, and her clothes seemed to move as if surrounded by some unseen force. Everything happened in an instant. Before anyone could understand what had taken place, Chu Tianjie already had his hands on his chest, lying on the ground, his face pale and breathing heavily, with sweat beading on his forehead.

“Brother, what’s wrong? Brother, speak to me!” Chu Tianao rushed over, helping his brother up anxiously.

After punishing Chu Tianjie, Nian Ran glanced at Chu Tianyu to see his reaction to her words, “I’m his wife!” But to her disappointment, Tianyu still stood there, clueless and motionless. She softly exhaled, “What an idiot!”

Without paying attention to her brother, who was enjoying the spectacle, she turned and left.

“Hey, sister, why did you leave without saying goodbye? Wait for me…”

At that moment, Tianyu was stunned, appearing foolish on the surface. But he couldn’t figure out how this little girl who claimed to be his wife could generate internal energy just like him. However, her energy seemed weak. What really made his second cousin fall to the ground groaning wasn’t the power of internal energy but rather something like remote control—something he couldn’t explain precisely. It wasn’t force-based, so he remained confused and decided to go back and ask the master…

While Chu Tianao and the others were at a loss over Chu Tianjie’s sudden change, his heaving chest gradually calmed down, his face regained its color, and the sweat disappeared. When he slowly stood up, he touched his body as if nothing had happened. His companions were utterly puzzled, thinking the illness came and went quickly. Only Chu Tianao looked deep in thought, reflecting on what had just happened.

Meanwhile, Chu Tianfeng, distracted, had lost track of Tianyu and had to search for him again. From afar, Tianyu saw his second brother coming this way, and since his cousins no longer paid attention to him, he quickly ran toward his second brother.

…

“Sister, is that silly-looking guy among the two who tried to fight us just now the idiot husband you’re going to marry? Haha, he does seem really stupid…”

Before he could finish speaking, Nian Ran suddenly stopped, turned around, and stared straight at her eldest brother. Nian Chao shuddered under his sister’s gaze and quickly closed his mouth, forcing down the words he hadn’t finished saying.
“Whether he’s stupid or not, he’s already engaged to me. I look down on him. I can call him dumb or scold him for being foolish, but no one else is allowed to say that—not even you, eldest brother! And if you dare to reveal even a hint about today’s incident…” She glared fiercely at Nian Chao before letting him go and continuing on her way.
Terrified by his sister’s gaze, Nian Chao felt a chill run through his body. After seeing her walk away, he was still too shaken to move. He couldn’t help but sigh bitterly, “Is this really my sister who’s only ten years old? She seems more like my grandson. How could I, the feared Nian Chao of Shengyu Middle School, be afraid of my sister—fear her to such an extent? How humiliating!”
…
“Elder, do you have a wife?”
“Damn it, Xiao San. Just left you for a moment, and you already start thinking about wives?”
“No, that’s not it, Elder. Just now, there was a really pretty little girl. She… she said herself that she’s my wife…” Tian Yu hurriedly explained.
Hearing Tian Yu’s words, Tian Feng couldn’t help but laugh. “No way, Xiao San. Are you being silly again? How old are you? How could you have a wife? And a pretty little girl told you that? You must be dreaming. Stop thinking nonsense. Come on, go back quickly, or the eldest brother will scold you…”
“I…” Tian Yu wanted to explain further, but seeing his elder brother’s firm disbelief, he decided to hold back his words. Remembering his confusion from earlier, he thought about asking the master teacher instead. So he said to his elder brother, “Elder, you go ahead. I have something to do—I need to go to another hall to find… my mother…” Since both his grandfather and mother had told him not to reveal that he had three masters to anyone, not even his father or brothers, Tian Yu quickly changed his story and said he was going to find his mother.
After walking to the banquet hall with his elder brother, Tian Yu parted ways with him and was about to go see the master teacher when he suddenly thought that since he was already there, he might as well see his mother first and ask about his wife.
Han Yixue was busy greeting the female guests when she suddenly noticed Tian Yu peering around in the crowd as if looking for her. She quickly put down what she was doing, went over to Tian Yu, grabbed him, and squatted down, smiling affectionately. “Oh, Tian Yu has come. Are you looking for your mother?”
As soon as Tian Yu saw his mother, he perked up immediately, rushed into her arms, and whispered in her ear, “Mom, does Tian Yu have a wife?”

Han Yixue was stunned and hadn’t yet reacted when Tianyu asked again. Looking at the noisy crowd around her, she didn’t rush to answer her son’s question. Instead, she gave a few instructions to the people below and then led her son to a private suite before asking him, “Tianyu, why did you suddenly bring this up? Did someone say something?” Tianyu recounted everything that had happened that day in detail to his mother. Han Yixue frowned deeply—she felt helpless at Tianfeng Taiye for still leading his younger brother around causing trouble at such a time, and she was also angry that the children from her uncle’s family had bullied Tianyu. Upon hearing about what had happened below, the words of that little girl, and Tianyu’s doubts, Han Yixue fell into deep thought. After a long while, under Tianyu’s gaze, she said, “Child, you’ll understand about your wife’s affairs when you grow up. As for that girl being able to use internal energy in a way different from what you know, you’ll have to ask your master. Mom will arrange for someone to take you there later. Don’t run around alone, okay? Oh, Tianyu, if your cousins bully you, just ignore them. Didn’t your master say not to use internal energy to hit people unless it’s absolutely necessary? Did you hear that?” “Mm, Tianyu remembers. They’re bad kids. Tianyu definitely won’t bother them…” “Mm, good boy…” After saying that, Han Yixue sent someone to take Tianyu back to Zijinyuan to see his master. She thought for a while and decided to go see her father-in-law as well. Although these were all children’s issues, learning from Tianyu that the Qin family’s little girl also possessed internal energy meant they had to reassess the Qin family. Especially in recent years, the Qin family had grown stronger thanks to their cooperation with us. So it was better to talk to her father-in-law first—it’s always wise to plan ahead. Especially for a family as large and influential as ours, the Chu family, there are too many weaknesses. If we’re not careful, others might take advantage of us, and it would be hard to recover… When she met her father-in-law, Chu Fangshan, Han Yixue recounted in detail everything she had heard from Tianyu along with her own analysis. Sure enough, Chu Fangshan also pondered for a long time before saying to her, “My dear, contact Secretary Huang right away and ask him to start investigating everything about the Qin family immediately, especially that little granddaughter who is engaged to our Tianyu. I need to stay with the old lady for now, so you’ll have to take on more work. I’ll personally handle this matter after a few days.” “Okay, Dad…” …
