"Yes, Young Master, if there’s nothing else, I’d like the two sisters to take out for a walk."
Jiang Xue was sowhat embarrassed, but it was clear that Shui Yixuan was supportive, even comforting her.
"It’s only right, after all, we’re taking you out for a stroll, and I’ll keep an eye on the family affairs. Did you bring enough Silver? If not, go to Mu Ran for so." Shui Yixuan said the latter part to Chunyu.
Chunyu weighed her wallet: "Enough, enough."
The group exchanged bows as a farewell, watching as Shui Yixuan’s elegant and proper steps disappeared around the corner. Jiang Xue then straightened up and together with Chunyu, left Five Elents Manor, found their horse carriage that was already fed, and leisurely headed towards Beijing.
Jiang Xue and the others spent five days in Beijing, staying at her family’s restaurant, tasting all the Beijing snacks, and also taking a look at the account books of their three stores, proposing so marketing plans, before returning to Five Elents Manor.
"The conference officially begins the day after tomorrow. Today and tomorrow are the last preparations. We must see if there’s anything we can help with, and if not, you can stroll around the garden."
It was rare for Chunyu to recall she was part of the Shui Clan, how could Jiang Xue refuse her? She wanted to help, but didn’t express it due to her external clan identity being inappropriate.
Jiang Xue also wanted to see how Five Elents Manor had been decorated.
It is said that Five Elents Manor is called Five Elents because it was designed according to the Eight Trigrams Array, covering a vast area. From above, it looks like a garden composed of the Eight Trigrams Array, showcasing great scenic and familial value.
Because Jiang Xue wore the Shui Clan’s uniform, everywhere she went, people greeted her politely. Luckily she asked Chunyu beforehand, who explained that the Shui Clan not only holds a high status in the Holy Dynasty but is also a renowned and respected family in the other three countries.
Wind Valley was known in Jianghu fifty years ago. It gained notoriety because its owner was the formidable Poison Doctor Double Killers, with the Poison Ghost being the Old Valley Master Shui Yuntian. Fifty years ago, in his early twenties, due to his exceptional talents and having apprenticed under many masters, it was hard for him not to beco famous.
Seeing him now, one could imagine that the younger Shui Yuntian was a handso, flamboyant, and charming youth who captivated many Jianghu daughters!
Unfortunately, these various girls were just passersby in Shui Yuntian’s eyes; his gaze had long since settled on one striking red silhouette.
The woman he adored was i Hongxin, who entered Jianghu and was quickly known as the "dicine Immortal" due to her bold diagnostic techniques and treatnt of several famous difficult cases at a young age. At sixteen, she was the darling of dicinal Master i Zonghai, highly loved and appreciated by the i family.
It is rumored that when i Hongxin was born, her body emitted a red light, hence the na "Hong" (red). Interestingly, since her birth, she had a penchant for red, never separated from it throughout her life.
Others wearing red can look tacky and insufferable, but she, in her red gauze dress, looked alluring and eye-catching, spotting her even from afar.
i Hongxin’s fiery temper reflected the stunning red, which made Shui Yuntian even more fascinated and affectionate toward her. For her sake, he was willing to beco a servant in the i family, just to get closer and eventually won her heart.
i Hongxin’s beauty and family status made her a stark contrast to the impoverished Shui Yuntian. Despite the different social standings, their pairing of handso man and beautiful woman was fitting, and Shui Yuntian’s steady and composed nature made him a reliable prospect. Though less renowned at the ti, their shared ambitions led them to travel Jianghu post-marriage, learning from various masters, healing countless people like crossing a river, targeting vicious villains with their poison, complenting each other in dicine and poison, making their work effortless!
Through years of ups and downs, the loving couple retired from Jianghu, yet their Poison Technique and dical skills remain unmatched, respected by future generations.
Sadly, i Hongxin passed away from illness ten years ago, leaving Shui Yuntian to guard Wind Valley, spending his remaining years in rembrance.
