Chapter 33

is not a good idea.

"I never expected that our counselor, who was so good and selfless for his students, would have a sister like you. He's already dead, and you're framing him for trying to kill his own students."

Yang Ding looked heartbroken and said, "What do you think our counselor would think if he were inside the White Walker's belly?"

This unconventional approach of moral blackmail left the discipline director completely bewildered.

Originally, she wanted to get Yang Ding to talk about his grudge against his counselor, so that he would have a motive to kill.

"I...I...I...you...you cunning little thief."

Student Union President Zhao Zekai stood up. "Alright, the investigation into Yang Ding is now over. Everyone, go back to your work."

"Chairman Zhao, we can't let this brat get away with this! Did my brother die in vain?"

"If your brother wanted to kill him, then he was acting in self-defense, and even if he died at Yang Ding's hands, it would be in accordance with the laws of the Empire."

"If your brother and he had no prior conflict, then there's no motive between them to kill each other. It was probably an accident. Why bother investigating? It's not like he was the only one who died."

"Moreover, Yang Ding hasn't even broken through to the lower first rank, while your younger brother has already reached the middle first rank."

Zhao Zekai's words are logical.

"This...this..." The discipline master was speechless. "Captain Sun, isn't your enforcement team doing anything about this?"

"Director Xiang, you don't think our enforcement team is idle, do you? There are tens of thousands of Otherworldly beings waiting for us to exterminate them beneath Jiangling City."

All the other jurors left, leaving only the discipline director and Yang Ding sitting at the table facing each other.

"Now that you're safe, can you tell me how you killed my brother?"

"You're no match for him. Did you attack him by surprise?"

Yang Ding gave a meaningful smile, then turned and left.

He neither admitted nor denied it.

But the discipline master could tell from his smile that his younger brother had been killed by this brat.

For the first time, she realized that she and her brother had underestimated this guy.

The discipline director watched Yang Ding's retreating figure and muttered fiercely to himself, "As long as you're still at Jiangling University, the Xiang family will definitely kill you."

When Yang Ding returned home, Ye Rou and Fang Jing were making their beds. Ye Rou had long forgotten their agreement to sleep in separate rooms.

Or perhaps she simply didn't want to bring it up again. After being held and slept by a man, sleeping alone felt like her heart was completely empty.

"Honey, they didn't give you any trouble, did they?"

"It was just a routine inquiry to understand what happened at the time."

Fang Jing asked doubtfully, "The head of discipline initiated the investigation of you, and she didn't give you any trouble?"

"Of course this old hag wants to pin my brother's death on me, but the student council president and the head of the enforcement team are also there. It's not like she can make the decisions all by herself."

"That's true. After all, with your current cultivation level, even if you wanted to kill Xiang Bin, it would be like an egg hitting a rock."

"It's alright. We've already prepared lunch. Jingjie has to go to work this afternoon."

Ye Rou didn't press the matter further; she hadn't suspected anything to begin with.

Fang Jing was clearing the table. "So, what are you all doing this afternoon?"

Ye Rou smiled mischievously, "Of course we'll take a nap this afternoon. After Sister Jing gets off work, we'll go shopping tonight to buy some baby supplies, and then we'll pick up your daughter."

Fang Jing gave Ye Rou a hard knock on the forehead. "You better watch yourself. You're pregnant, and you're taking time off to do that kind of thing. Are you addicted?"

"Don't worry, my husband is very gentle, we only ever dabble in things."

"Hmph, I don't believe a man can stop that."

After the three finished lunch, Fang Jing went to work, Ye Rou went to wash the dishes, and Yang Ding stayed with her.

"Honey, if you invite Jing over to stay, we'll feel awkward being intimate. The more intimate we are, the more she'll think about her deceased husband. Isn't that too cruel?"

Ye Rou thought about it for a long time before finally expressing her thoughts.

"Honey, what do you think of Jing-jie?"

"What do you mean?"

"Is she pretty?"

"She's pretty, but not quite as pretty as you; her legs aren't as long."

"After I gave birth to three children, even if I didn't want to go to the northern frontier, the Imperial army would still require me to go. You have to go to work alone, you don't have time to take care of the children, and there's no one to look after you. You definitely need a woman."

"Of all your second wives, the only one I can accept is Sister Jing. She comes from a good family, is beautiful, and so far she seems to have a good impression of you."

Yang Ding was overjoyed and extremely grateful to his wife.

Fang Jing possesses a unique mature woman's charm, and she is also a genius girl with spatial abilities.

Spatial abilities are extremely rare and were of great help to Yang Ding.

For example, if he collects weapons in the future, he can secretly store them in a personal space he creates, and no one will ever know.

Moreover, if we move to the Wall in the future, we can leave our children in this space without worrying about their safety.

But he can't show it at this moment, otherwise he'll seem like a jerk and hurt his wife's feelings.

A woman can recommend her best friend to you, but you can't be impolite.

"Honey, what are you thinking? You and I are a forced match. Jingjie is different. With her and her family's conditions, she wouldn't even look at me."

"Don't you have your wife to help you get together with someone? And now is a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation."

"Honey, I'm not that kind of person. Jing is your good friend, and her father is a high-ranking officer in the East China Sea Garrison. Her family wouldn't agree to it."

Yang Ding's answer made Ye Rou feel very comfortable.

At least this man is reliable; any other man would probably be overjoyed.

"You don't need to worry about that. Jingjie can decide her own marriage, and her parents are too far away to interfere."

Yang Ding declined repeatedly, saying, "That's not a good idea."

Ye Rou could only say, "If you really don't like her, then forget it. It's a pity we can't become family."

Yang Ding kissed Ye Rou's cheek hard. "Since my wife wants us to be a family, relying on and protecting each other, how could I let you down?"

Ye Rou turned to look at Yang Ding and said with a mischievous smile, "Honey, you're secretly thrilled, aren't you? Sister Jing is petite and exquisite, definitely the type you men like."

Yang Ding remained defiant, insisting, "My wife is the best."

"Don't rush things. We need to take it slow. She and her husband are childhood sweethearts, so it's impossible for her to accept another man so quickly."

"I'm not in a hurry, but I'm afraid that if I marry her and have a child, her husband will come back alive, and that would be awkward."

"What nonsense are you talking about? The battle reports from the front have all been sent out; there can't be any mistakes."

"Okay, I'll do as my wife says."

After washing the dishes, the two went back to their room and cuddled together to sleep.

Yang Ding couldn't resist, but Ye Rou, after Fang Jing's reminder, stopped letting him touch her.

Yang Ding had no choice but to obediently finish his afternoon nap and prepare to wait for Fang Jing to come back, have dinner, and then go to the maternal and child health hospital together to take his wife for a check-up.

This time, he decided to persuade the doctor, otherwise Ye Rou wouldn't be able to get over this hurdle in her heart.
