As for Lady Wan, just let her have her way.
As long as he could beat her, then she had his complete obedience.
And once the wound on his face completely healed, he formally became the Great Hall Master of the Wusheng Hall.
In the blink of an eye, more than a decade passed, until now.
However, his martial arts still fell short of the true Wan Yutang, so he spent most of his time in seclusion, practicing in the mountains behind the hall.
Not to master some peerless martial arts, but simply not to expose his inadequacy in martial arts.
Lady Wan, not content to be alone, kept male concubines and reveled night after night.
During the years that followed, Cao Ming, relying on his own cunning, managed to uncover quite a few matters.
For instance, he discovered that Lord Jun was named Jun Luo, and the place where Wan Yutang was imprisoned was the Endless Prison, information he learned only later on.
