The next morning, Ye Kunlun received a secret letter from Wang You.
This was the first secret letter from Mr. Wang You since Ye Kunlun had asked him to return to the Changsun family for the time being.
The secret letter was prepared using a special method from the Piaoxue Tower. Anyone who did not understand the secret art would destroy the letter upon attempting to open it forcefully.
"Young Master, what did the letter say?" Feng Tutu asked curiously from the side.
"Wang You said that Changsun wants him to increase the refinement of the potent poison. He also said that Changsun Changkong secretly met someone late last night. However, he was too far away to hear what was said, only seeing that the person's attire suggested they belonged to the War Department."
"Someone from the War Department? Could it be Feng Zhan?"
Feng Tutu speculated, "I didn't expect Feng Zhan to secretly meet with Changsun Changkong as soon as he returned. It seems the East Sea War Department and the Changsun family have a deep connection!"
"I'm not sure if it's Feng Zhan, but it's highly likely," Ye Kunlun said with a cold smile, destroying the secret letter in his hand.
"It seems Feng Zhan doesn't intend to confront me head-on," Ye Kunlun said, clapping his hands. "He is, after all, a smart man."
"Young Master, shall I secretly take care of this Feng Zhan?"
A murderous intent flashed across Feng Tutu's pretty face.
"Killing him is simple. I'm more curious whether Feng Zhan is truly here for Zhou Lie or has other motives."
Ye Kunlun pondered.
Zhou Lie was dead after all. For a dead man, Feng Zhan, as one of the three generals of the East Sea War Department, would be making a big fuss and violating military discipline by returning to the capital just to avenge him?
Ye Kunlun didn't believe it!
In his opinion, Feng Zhan was merely using Zhou Lie's death as an excuse, a pretext for his actions.
"Young Master means that Feng Zhan isn't back for Zhou Lie?"
Feng Tutu asked.
Ye Kunlun nodded. "There's a possibility. Currently, I've already made enemies with Changsun Changkong, Gu Changsheng, Huang Hu, and others. These individuals have complicated relationships with Zhou Lie."
"Let's see how Feng Zhan acts next. The more he does, the more clues he will reveal."
Ye Kunlun appeared to be strategizing and said sternly, "We just need to meet force with force... no, we just need to wait by the stump for the rabbit, kill gods when gods come, and kill Buddhas when Buddhas come!"
"Ye Kunlun!"
Just then, Tang Tangtang's voice came from outside the door, "Ye Kunlun, brother-in-law, are you in?"
"Why is this girl here?"
Upon hearing Tang Tangtang's voice, Ye Kunlun's head began to ache. Could it be that this girl genuinely wanted him to accompany her to some social gathering?
"Brother-in-law!"
Tang Tangtang pushed the door open and saw Feng Tutu present, completely ignoring her. "Big Sister said you have to accompany me to the social gathering."
Tang Tangtang appeared spirited.
Ye Kunlun was speechless. What was Tang Zhuozhuo planning by making him accompany Tang Tangtang to a social gathering?
"Hurry up and go, I don't have time!"
Ye Kunlun glared at Tang Tangtang. "I'm not your brother-in-law, so don't call me that here."
"Big Sister said you are my brother-in-law." Tang Tangtang stubbornly insisted, "If you don't accompany me to the social gathering today, I won't leave!"
Saying that, Tang Tangtang sat down on a chair.
"Miss Tang San, this is the Wujian Prison, not a place for you to cause trouble!"
Feng Tutu's tone was somewhat displeased.
"Mind your own business!" Tang Tangtang glared at Feng Tutu. "I'm talking to my brother-in-law, what right do you have to interrupt!"
"Don't think that just because you are Miss Tang San, I won't dare to lay a hand on you?!" Feng Tutu said angrily.
"Brother-in-law, she's too fierce!"
Tang Tangtang complained to Ye Kunlun.
Ye Kunlun's head ached. He couldn't really do anything to Tang Zhuozhuo. Tang Zhuozhuo had truly given him a big problem.
Seeing Ye Kunlun's troubled expression, Tang Tangtang pouted, feeling a little wronged. "Brother-in-law, just accompany me. Otherwise, at the social gathering, Feng Xiaoyang will definitely pester me again. It's so annoying..."
Ye Kunlun replied impatiently, "You are Miss Tang San. If anyone dares to pester you, tell your eldest sister and second sister."
"It's no use. Feng Xiaoyang's father is one of the three generals of the East Sea War Department. Even Big Sister can't do anything about him."
Tang Tangtang sounded more and more wronged, as if she were complaining to Ye Kunlun.
Ye Kunlun glanced at Feng Tutu.
Feng Tutu then reacted and quickly whispered back to Ye Kunlun, "Young Master, according to my subordinate's knowledge, Feng Zhan's son is indeed named Feng Xiaoyang, and he is a sophomore at Kyoto University."
Ye Kunlun did not expect such a coincidence. He looked at the wronged Tang Tangtang and smiled, "Alright, I'll reluctantly accompany you to the social gathering, but you have to promise me one thing."
"What is it?"
As soon as Tang Tangtang heard Ye Kunlun agree to accompany her, her eyes lit up. She giggled and nestled up to him.
"From now on, when you see me, behave yourself and don't call me a scoundrel anymore!"
Ye Kunlun said to Tang Tangtang, who looked excited.
Tang Tangtang stuck out her tongue at Ye Kunlun. "You were the one who provoked me first? Fine, I won't call you a scoundrel anymore."
With that, Tang Tangtang linked her arm with Ye Kunlun's. "Brother-in-law, let's hurry up. If we're any later, I'll be late."
"It's just some social gathering, being late is fine..."
In the end, Ye Kunlun was still pulled out by Tang Tangtang.
On the way to the social gathering venue, Ye Kunlun finally understood.
Tang Tangtang was also a sophomore at Kyoto University. To broaden students' social circles, the school arranged for social gatherings between every two colleges.
It's unclear if Feng Xiaoyang had made arrangements with the school, but since freshman year, during the two social gatherings held each year, their college and their dormitory had always coincided with Tang Tangtang's dormitory.
Tang Tangtang naturally knew Feng Xiaoyang's intentions, but she simply didn't like him.
Although Feng Xiaoyang was a prominent figure on campus, handsome and tall, with good grades and a good family background.
Tang Tangtang was just not interested in him. Every time Feng Xiaoyang approached her, she found it annoying!
The school's requirement to bring parents was just an excuse Tang Tangtang had made up. Her goal was to have Tang Zhuozhuo accompany her to avoid Feng Xiaoyang bothering her again.
After hearing Tang Tangtang's explanation, Ye Kunlun found it both amusing and exasperating.
Who would have thought that the third young lady of the Tang family, one of the seven major clans of the capital, would have such bothersome issues at school.
"Brother-in-law, if Feng Xiaoyang bothers you again, you can teach him a lesson for me..."
Before she could finish, Tang Tangtang suddenly had an idea. She linked her arm with Ye Kunlun's and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, how about this, you pretend to be my boyfriend?"
"If Feng Xiaoyang knows I have a boyfriend, he'll be furious! Hahaha..."
Tang Tangtang laughed triumphantly.
Ye Kunlun's head was full of black lines. Tang Tangtang was truly audacious to even think of asking him to pretend to be her boyfriend!
