Chapter 73 Tailor-made
Upon hearing this, a blush flashed across Yang Zhen's fair face, and she felt a sudden heat rising in her ears.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
She glared at her younger sister in embarrassment and annoyance, making a move as if to hit her, but her sister, like a slippery lark, giggled and hid behind Su Yu.
Yang Zhen quickly composed himself and said seriously, "Brother Su, this is compensation from your family. Father did some things improperly before, please don't take it to heart."
Looking into her sincere eyes, Su Yu nodded slightly: "It's alright. Uncle Yang is the head of the Yang family, so some considerations are understandable. Since I'm receiving a salary, I will naturally fulfill my duties."
Hearing Su Yu say this, Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.
She could roughly guess her father's thoughts; he was simply afraid that Brother Su's prestige was too great. However, it was still uncertain whether Brother Su truly intended to join the Yang family.
He usually focuses solely on martial arts training and is unwilling to exchange more than a few words with others.
Moreover, he is a martial artist after all. Is his father not afraid of making things worse by trying to play tricks between the two martial artists?
However, she knew her father's temper; he always made the decisions about the Yang family and never listened to their opinions.
"There's one more thing." Yang Zhen's gaze fell on Su Yu's faded training clothes, and he said softly, "Brother Su is now a martial artist and a retainer of the Yang family, this outfit... is really a bit shabby. The Yang family is in the silk business, so why don't we have some new clothes made for you?"
Su Yu looked down at himself. Indeed, apart from the Mo Yuan Blade, he wasn't worth a single tael of silver.
"No need for that, I'll just go to the shop and buy two ready-made outfits."
"That won't do!" Yang Ai peeked out from behind Su Yu. "Where can you find ready-made clothes that fit as perfectly as custom-made ones? Besides, you can't buy Yang family's fabric anywhere else!"
Without saying a word, the two sisters pulled Su Yu up from either side.
"Stand up straight and don't move!"
Yang Ai held the measuring tape, her eyes gleaming mischievously.
She measured very carefully, the soft measuring tape encircling Su Yu's chest and arms, her fingertips lightly tracing his firm muscles, the unique fragrance of a young girl lingering around his nose, carrying a trace of her warm body temperature.
Su Yu felt slightly embarrassed and could only stand there motionless.
Behind him, Yang Zhen stood on tiptoe and used a soft measuring tape to measure his shoulder width.
Perhaps because she had been standing for a long time, she swayed slightly, and her soft, delicate body pressed against Su Yu's back.
The sight of two soft mounds instantly aroused his desire, causing Su Yu's breath to catch in his throat and his back muscles to tense up.
Yang Zhen's face instantly turned as red as a ripe shrimp. She hurriedly took half a step back, her heart pounding like a drum. She was usually dignified and composed, and had never been so intimate with a man before. At this moment, she was too shy to look up.
The air was filled with an indescribable, enchanting atmosphere.
The two of them remained silent, tacitly understanding each other's intentions.
"Sister... Sister, what's wrong?" Yang Ai noticed something was wrong and tiptoed over Su Yu's shoulder to peek.
"N-nothing," Yang Zhen tried to remain calm, but her voice trembled slightly. "Are you... done measuring?"
"Okay, all measured."
"I'm all better now."
Yang Zhen hurriedly put away the measuring tape and stuffed the booklet containing the measurements into his pocket.
"Brother Su, I've brought you the clothes once they're finished." With that, she grabbed her sister's hand and ran off as if fleeing.
After seeing the two women off, Su Yu went to the well, drew a bucket of cold water, washed his face, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and then went to the martial arts training ground to practice.

As my proficiency gradually increased, that state of mind of tranquility and immersion in martial arts practice returned.
……
Afternoon, in the main hall.
Qin Fangqiong was beaming, clearly in a great mood.
"Everyone's here? Come in and talk."
Su Yu and Chen Fan entered the tea room together, where they saw their senior brother Qi Linfeng, Lin Wanzhu, and Qin Yu.
Master Qin took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and said solemnly, "The regulations for the enforcement team have been finalized. The outer city is divided into thirty-six districts, each with a commander and deputy commander, and several squads under their command. Whether it's the commander or the squad, they all wield real power!"
"Lin Feng, I've secured you the command position for the area near the White Ape Martial Arts School! You'll take office in two days, and Yu'er will be your deputy."
"Yes, Master!" Qi Linfeng clasped his hands in acceptance of the order.
"Wanzhu, the East City Commercial District where your Lin family is located is too lucrative, and too many people are eyeing it. I only managed to secure you a deputy commander position; the main position was taken by the people from Duanshan Pavilion."
"Thank you, Master!" Lin Wanzhu's beautiful eyes lit up. Being granted the position of Deputy Commander was already an unexpected bonus, enough for the Lin family to reap numerous benefits.
After arranging things for the others, Master Qin's gaze fell on Chen Fan, and his expression became serious: "Chen Fan, in the remaining month before the martial arts examination, I will personally teach you the Spirit Ape Demon-Subduing Saber!"
"Thank you, Master!" Chen Fan couldn't hide his joy. With his master's personal guidance, his Spirit Ape Demon-Subduing Blade would definitely improve a lot in the next month.
Master Qin waved his hand and continued, "Master Qin can't master the Spirit Ape Demon-Subduing Blade through hard training alone. This month, I'll take you to challenge other martial arts schools and make a name for yourself! Then, during the martial arts examination, you can take a top-ten spot and reap both fame and fortune!"
"Disciple will do his utmost to live up to Master's expectations!" Chen Fan clenched his fist, his eyes gleaming with ambition.
This opportunity to take the martial arts exam will be another leap for me to achieve great things!
At that time, I, Chen Fan, will soar to the heavens!
Finally, Master Qin looked at Su Yu in the corner and said, "As for Su Yu... although you have good comprehension, you are lacking in natural talent. It will be difficult for you to make any progress in your cultivation level within a month. It is not advisable to rush things."
"However, this is a rare opportunity, so you must give it your all!" After saying that, Teacher Qin turned to Lin Wanzhu, "Wanzhu, you'll be mentoring him for the next month!"
"Take him to your Lin family and have him spar with your Lin family members and retainers, or have him fight in the city arena. Make sure he masters the Spirit Ape Demon Subduing Blade to at least the basic level! If he can make it into the top twenty this time, then let him join your team and be your helper."
Lin Wanzhu's face lit up with joy, and she looked at Su Yu with anticipation.
If Junior Brother Su successfully becomes a member of the enforcement team, he will be my capable assistant and one of my own in the enforcement team!
"Alright, you can go now. Don't slack off this month!"
"Yes, Master Qin!"
……
"Junior Brother Su, this past month, besides fulfilling my duties with the enforcement team, I will dedicate myself to guiding you. However, I'm busy with family matters, and I also have disciples there who need guidance, so I'm afraid I won't be able to come to the martial arts school often. For convenience..."
Lin Wanzhu paused for a moment, then extended an invitation: "Why don't you move into the Lin residence for a while?"
"Go to the Lin residence?" Su Yu was taken aback.
Unexpectedly, his senior sister's first request to him was to go to the Lin family. However, after a moment's thought, he nodded in agreement.
"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Senior Sister. When will you depart?"
"I'll go today! Pack your things, your senior sister will be waiting for you!"
Su Yu returned to his room, saw that he had nothing but two pieces of clothing, and then came back again.
Senior Sister Lin glanced at his simple luggage and couldn't help but chuckle, her chest heaving instantly. Su Yu quickly looked away.
Senior Sister Lin was a martial artist with keen senses. He hadn't known before, assuming she was unaware. Now that he was also a martial artist, he naturally understood and dared not presumptuously look any further.
Seeing Su Yu's appearance, Senior Sister Lin seemed to have a smile in her eyes. Whether it was intentional or not, she seemed to puff out her proud chest and said, "Junior Brother Su, you have too little. You just practice martial arts all day long. If the disciples in my family were half as hardworking as you, I would be at ease."
"Let's go, this is a good opportunity to show them your strength, junior brother, and teach them a lesson!"
