"Huh! Isn't that right? Then why do you only respond when I call you 'beautiful lady' after I've used so many different terms of address?"

Looking at the young man in white with surprise, Yi Shuihan's expression was spot-on.

Zhou Yu had an urge to kill the man in front of him. He clearly didn't want to pay attention to him, but the man kept bothering him and calling him by strange names.

The thought that if word got out today, people would say, "Isn't this Zhou Yu who likes to be called a beauty?" made Zhou Yu almost explode with rage.

No, my reputation absolutely cannot be ruined like this.

"Brother, I was wrong just now. Just tell me what's wrong, as long as you don't mention any more beautiful women."

Zhou Yu forced a smile, intending to appease Yi Shuihan for the time being and settle accounts with him secretly once things had calmed down.

"What do you mean, 'brother' or 'sister'? Call him 'father'."

"Child with a fever?"

Zhou Yu muttered something to himself, then his expression changed, and he glared angrily at Yi Shuihan, "Don't push your luck. Do you think I don't understand English?"

"I go!"

This time it was Yi Shuihan's turn to be surprised; he hadn't expected that the person in front of him would actually know English.

Chapter 626, The Two Qiaos

It's important to understand that the Han Dynasty has now unified the entire Three Kingdoms world, and the universal language is Chinese. Countries that used to use English have also begun to learn Chinese. As a native Han Chinese, there's no need to learn English unless one is genuinely interested in linguistics.

It's safe to say that genuine Han Chinese who understand English are even rarer than giant pandas. Yi Shuihan never expected to encounter this, which led to his unintentional attempt to show off and his intellectual defeat.

"You are indeed a learned lady. May I ask your name?"

Yi Shuihan's expression turned serious. He cupped his hands in greeting to Zhou Yu and asked.

A large bump appeared on Zhou Yu's forehead. He really felt it was difficult to communicate with Yi Shuihan, and he really wanted to slap him.

"Young Master Zhou Yu!"

At this moment, a soft, sweet voice rang out, and a beautiful woman, one tall and one short, walked towards Yi Shuihan while waving.

Upon seeing the two beauties, Zhou Yu's expression immediately changed. His aloofness vanished, and he transformed into a gentle and sunny young man.

"Zhou Yu? No way! That guy known as Handsome Zhou Lang?"

Well, Yi Shuihan admitted he was surprised again; the guy in front of him was actually Zhou Yu.

Could this pair of beautiful women, one tall and one short, be the Qiao sisters?

Soon, Yi Shuihan's guess came true; the two girls were indeed Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, famous beauties of the Three Kingdoms period! Although their fates were ultimately unfortunate and they were pitiful, it was clear that Yi Shuihan's intrusion had changed their destinies.

"I am Qiao Wan, this is my older sister Qiao Ying, who are you!"

The younger of the two beauties revealed their family background and then looked at Yi Shuihan with curiosity.

"My real name is Yi Shuihan, but I also have many other names, such as Daoist Yi, Grand Preceptor, Handsome Brother, True Lord, etc. You can call me whatever you like."

"Pfft!"

Qiao Wan laughed and pointed at Yi Shuihan, saying, "You're so funny, calling yourself a handsome brother!"

Qiao Ying appeared rather reserved, but there was a smile on her face.

"By the way, are you Brother Zhou's friend?"

"friend"

Yi Shuihan gave Zhou Yu a strange look, then nodded and said, "That's right, we're friends!"

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm not your friend. Don't be fooled by him. I've only known him for a few minutes. I've never even met him before today."

Zhou Yu walked directly in front of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, blocking Yi Shuihan's view, as if declaring his sovereignty.

"Hey beautiful, don't say that! I've always considered you a brother."

Yi Shuihan looked heartbroken.

"Brother Zhou, is there some misunderstanding between you?"

Qiao Ying was a little confused by Yi Shuihan's acting skills and couldn't help but speak up.

"There's no misunderstanding. This is really the first time I've met him. I don't know such a shameless guy."

Zhou Yu quickly replied.

"Hey beautiful, watch your mouth! Who's being shameless? I'm a fresh-faced young man!"

"Handsome brother, the beautiful woman you're talking about, you're not calling me Brother Zhou, are you?"

Xiao Qiao actually had a good impression of Yi Shuihan and didn't distance herself from him because of Zhou Yu's words.

"Oops, I let it slip, Gongjin! Don't blame me, I really didn't mean to reveal that you like being called a beauty."

"..."

Feeling the strange gazes from Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, Zhou Yu finally lost his temper.

"Go to hell!"

He struck Yi Shuihan with a palm strike, the speed of which was surprisingly fast, and it was accompanied by a strong fluctuation of spiritual energy.

"He still possesses cultivation?"

Yi Shuihan then noticed that Zhou Yu was actually a Qi Refining stage cultivator who had embarked on the path of cultivation.

He easily dodged Zhou Yu's attack, but his words were sharp and sarcastic: "You've been hit where it hurts, and you're now angry and embarrassed!"

Zhou Yu seemed determined to act without speaking, and instead of speaking, he launched a punch.

Unfortunately, Zhou Yu's attack was too slow in Yi Shuihan's eyes; it couldn't even touch the hem of Yi Shuihan's clothes.

After a few moves, Zhou Yu realized how powerful Yi Shuihan was; he was no match for her. He stopped, his face grim.

"This handsome guy is amazing! Even Brother Zhou is no match for him!"

Xiao Qiao seemed very excited.

"Little sister!"

Da Qiao scolded them, after all, they were closer to Zhou Yu.

"understood!"

Xiao Qiao playfully stuck out her tongue at her older sister.

Because of the relationship between Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, many people also noticed Yi Shuihan and Zhou Yu, and saw the battle between Zhou Yu and Yi Shuihan that was not really a battle. Their gazes towards Zhou Yu also changed.

"That's all show and no substance. After fighting for so long, they haven't even touched the hem of anyone's clothes."

"All show and no substance, he must be some rich young master from a powerful family. He thinks he's so great just because he beats up a few servants at home, but he's actually useless."

"Don't say that. I think his moves were pretty good. The main problem was that he chose the wrong opponent; the opponent was too strong."

The whispers reached Zhou Yu's ears, making his face burn with shame. He had never been so humiliated in his life.

"Who exactly are you? Someone with skills like yours can't possibly be an unknown nobody."

After calming down, Zhou Yu, who still had some sense, became cautious.

Recalling Yi Shuihan's self-introduction, Zhou Yu had no effect on the name Yi Shuihan, and the later Taoist Master Yi and handsome brother did not yield any useful information.

"And the Grand Preceptor!" This title, which Zhou Yu initially thought was just a casual joke, caught his attention.

"Impossible! How could he be the Imperial Advisor!"

Zhou Yu vaguely guessed Yi Shuihan's identity, but was unwilling to admit it. You see, the Grand Tutor was his idol. Because he was exceptionally intelligent and talented since childhood, he had no rivals among his peers and therefore no one he admired. But since Yi Shuihan became the Grand Tutor of the Han Dynasty, he had heard about the Grand Tutor's many deeds and had become a die-hard fan of Yi Shuihan.

Even Yi Shuihan probably didn't expect that Zhou Yu would be his die-hard fan. However, this is not hard to accept. There are too many people in the Han Dynasty who are die-hard fans of Yi Shuihan, from young children to elderly people in their seventies and eighties. Regardless of gender, there are very few people who do not admire Yi Shuihan.

Chapter 627, Seeking an Opportunity

Just as Zhou Yu was at a loss and his expression kept changing, Cai Yan and the other women who were waiting for Yi Shuihan came over.

"Sister, look! They're so pretty!"

Xiao Qiao noticed Cai Yan and the others and exclaimed in surprise. She herself was a top-tier beauty, and it was rare to see anyone who could compare to her and her sisters. But now, so many women who were just as beautiful as them, or even more beautiful, had suddenly appeared. Xiao Qiao was naturally very surprised.

Da Qiao also looked at Cai Yan and her group with curiosity, constantly comparing them in her mind, and found that even among that group of women, she could only be considered average.

"Why are you here?"

"Husband, are you flirting with other women again?"

"Forehead!"

Yi Shuihan immediately understood Cai Yan's meaning; it turned out that she had discovered the Qiao sisters and that's why she came to keep an eye on him.

That's true. Although Cai Yan and the others don't mind Yi Shuihan having many women, they also hope that Yi Shuihan will have fewer women. This is not contradictory.

Beauties like Cai Yan are rare to begin with, and the fact that so many of them have gathered at once immediately attracted the attention of countless men, with many self-important young men even planning to come over and chat them up.

However, the Fierce Fox and his gang were not to be trifled with. Anyone who had such thoughts would be secretly pressured, making them feel ashamed and afraid to step forward.

"Brother Yi, Brother Yi!"

Life is full of coincidences, and a boy ran over.

"Zhou Yu, what are you doing here!"

"Zhuge Liang!"

Zhou Yu's heart was filled with turmoil. He knew Zhuge Liang, his classmate from the Imperial Academy, very well. Although Zhuge Liang was younger than him, his talent surpassed his. He was known as the Crouching Dragon in the academy and was a disciple of the academy elder, Zuo Ci.

Compared to him, Zhuge Liang was even more aloof, and he didn't take ordinary people seriously. He would only pay attention to truly capable people.

The fact that Zhuge Liang addressed him so intimately as "elder brother," coupled with the previous introduction of his own nickname, confirmed Zhou Yu's complete certainty that Yi Shuihan was indeed the celestial national advisor who had descended from heaven to help the Han Dynasty—his idol.

If it were any other time, Zhou Yu would be overjoyed to see his idol, but this situation was completely unexpected, and his mind went blank.

"Oh, it's you! Xiao Liang!"

Cai Yan was also quite happy to see Zhuge Liang. She and Zhuge Liang had a very good relationship; although they were not blood-related siblings, their bond was stronger than that of siblings.

"elder sister!"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said to Cai Yan.

"This is not the place to talk. Come with me."

Seeing that it was going to be a reunion, Yi Shuihan didn't want to be treated like a live movie, so he immediately spoke up.

Although he still wanted to play around with Zhou Yu, since his main objective had not yet been achieved, there was no need to do so now that Zhuge Liang had arrived; asking Zhuge Liang would be the same.

Since Yi Shuihan had spoken, the others naturally wouldn't disagree. They nodded and then followed Yi Shuihan toward a deserted place.

"Young Master, this kid is no ordinary person; he can actually ignore my mental pressure!"

The fierce fox walked up to Yi Shuihan and whispered.

"That's normal. He's a genius, so he's bound to be different."

Yi Shuihan was not surprised that Zhuge Liang was able to withstand the mental pressure from the evil fox, because he had previously discovered that Zhuge Liang's soul was very strong and he had a high immunity to mental attacks.

Perhaps due to his spiritual connection, Zhuge Liang possessed exceptional talent in Taoist cultivation; otherwise, he wouldn't have been chosen as a disciple by Zuo Ci.

"That was the legendary Crouching Dragon. I heard from others that he is the number one genius in the academy."

Xiao Qiao watched Yi Shuihan and the others depart, her attention particularly focused on Zhuge Liang.

"Brother Zhou, shall we go and take a look too?"

Da Qiao approached Zhou Yu and asked him a question. She was actually quite curious about Yi Shuihan, and since Zhuge Liang seemed to respect Yi Shuihan, she was even more curious about Yi Shuihan's identity.

"Let's go and have a look!"

After thinking it over, Zhou Yu finally decided to follow.

……

"Xiao Liang, come here, let me introduce you."

After getting away from the crowd and stopping, Cai Yan immediately introduced Zhuge Liang to his several sisters-in-law.

"This is Tsunade, this is Hancock, this is... they are all your sisters-in-law."

"Greetings, sisters-in-law!"

Zhuge Liang suppressed his surprise and respectfully bowed to Tsunade and the others. In his heart, he was full of admiration for Yi Shuihan, who had managed to find so many wives without making a sound, and all of them were incredibly beautiful.

Zhuge Liang was good-looking and very polite, so Tsunade and the others had a good impression of him and were quite friendly to him.
