There are two guards at the back gate of the Yin Mansion; when Qin Tian ca out from the back gate before, he used heavy bribes to buy them off.
However, at this mont, the two n were completely unyielding, directly clearing the way, driving Qin Tian and Gao Ping away.
According to the rules of Yin Mansion, when a notable returns, all servants, except for special people, must avoid them.
"Such a big spectacle?"
After being escorted away, Gao Ping left satisfied, but Qin Tian did not leave.
On his first day at Yin Mansion, he discovered that the river he had dived into before passed not far from the back yard of Yin Mansion, with a Cold Pond under the cliff beside the backyard.
Thinking of the white-clad beauty being called Yin Susu, Qin Tian naturally understood that the place where he was sold should be the Yin Mansion where Yin Susu was.
Fate indeed.
Qin Tian stood in the distant corridor of the backyard, watching the beautiful white-clad lady, Yin Susu, entering the main gate accompanied by Xiao Qing.
"Susu, I’m heading back now."
Suddenly, a man’s voice ca over.
Qin Tian focused his gaze and saw a white-clad man at the back gate of Yin Mansion—a gentlemanly, sowhat handso figure.
"Mm."
Yin Susu gazed at the white-clad young master, her voice delicate.
Qin Tian imdiately realized that this white-clad young master likely had an unusual relationship with Yin Susu.
"In the coming days, I need to visit Fifth Peak; when I’m back, I’ll co find you again."
"Mm."
With tender glances, the white-clad young master and Yin Susu then exchanged smiles and departed.
As Yin Susu ca back to her senses, she and Xiao Qing headed towards the front yard.
Qin Tian stood at the corridor, sowhat dazed, recalling that previously by the Cold Pond, he heard Yin Susu’s mother ntion that Yin Susu was engaged with a fiancé.
Could it be him?
Qin Tian pursed his lips. This man indeed seed quite suitable for Yin Susu.
"Marrying such a virtuous woman like Yin Susu, that man is indeed lucky."
Qin Tian smiled and walked towards the Flower Garden.
Upon returning to the Flower Garden, Qin Tian asked Wang Xiaoming, "Xiaoming, do you know about the Eldest Young Miss’s fiancé?"
"Of course I know." Wang Xiaoming, naturally a gossip, got excited imdiately and said, "The Eldest Young Miss’s fiancé is the Eldest Young Master Luo Tianming from the foremost Luo Family of Second Peak."
"The union of the foremost and second families, that’s a powerful alliance; in the future, on Second Peak, nobody will dare offend Luo Family or Yin Family."
"The Eldest Young Master of the foremost family, Luo Tianming... Heh."
Upon hearing this, Qin Tian smiled faintly and said, "I saw Young Master Luo escort the Eldest Young Miss ho today; they seem to have a good relationship. Is this marriage the result of their love, or is it an arranged family union?"
"That’s a long story."
Wang Xiaoming laughed towards Qin Tian, and the two continued to chat while de-weeding in the Flower Garden.
"Years ago, when Luo Tianming, then in his teens, was cultivating in Myriad Demon Mountain Range, he accidentally saved a lady on a trip. She was impressed upon seeing Luo Tianming. Upon later learning his identity, during a gathering of the two families, they inadvertently discussed this matter, leading to the decision for Luo and Yin families to betroth."
"It’s said to be odd because Luo Tianming had previously heard of Yin Family’s intent to marry into Luo family, but he dismissed the idea of marrying the Yin daughters."
"However, during that gathering, upon first seeing our Eldest Young Miss, Luo Tianming was reportedly stunned by her beauty. He imdiately agreed to the marriage."
Wang Xiaoming continued enthusiastically, while Qin Tian grew more curious, "And the Eldest Young Miss? Did she agree to this marriage?"
Previously at the backyard gate, it seed Yin Susu had a harmonious relationship with Luo Tianming.
"Initially, the Eldest Young Miss was unwilling, but you don’t know her temperant: incredibly kind and generous, never willing to hurt anyone, even assisting us servants... Every servant in the mansion holds the highest respect and fondness for her."
"Eldest Young Miss initially disagreed, but later, after much persuasion from her mother, she reluctantly agreed. After all, Luo Tianming is her mother’s savior. After pre-etings, finding Luo Tianming moderately handso and heir to Luo family, Eldest Young Miss was quite content and agreed to the engagent."
"Overall, they’re a suited pair, a golden couple. But let say this, anyone in the world who marries the Eldest Young Miss will find the greatest happiness; hopefully, after marrying, Luo family will treat her well."
Speaking of Yin Susu, Wang Xiaoming expressed gratitude, mysteriously adding, "Lin Feng, you might not know this, but I’ve been with Yin family for six years. Twice, I almost faced death sentences from the master and was spared by the Eldest Young Miss. She’s truly... she could ask to die for her imdiately. Many servants in our mansion would willingly die for the Eldest Young Miss."
Qin Tian had no doubt about Wang Xiaoming’s words.
Yin Susu’s kindness and innocence were well witnessed by Qin Tian.
Though Qin Tian harbored inexplicable affections for Yin Susu, his urgent task in Myriad Demon Mountain Range remained finding Yin Yue Demon Venerate and Immortal Divine Beast, so he didn’t linger on thoughts of Yin Susu.
After all, it seed Luo Tianming and Yin Susu were genuinely affectionate, matched and suitable.
After staying at Yin Mansion for several days, Qin Tian grew familiar with the guards at the back gate (money easily nurtures familiarity), so he could essentially freely enter and exit the back gate.
Seizing this opportunity, Qin Tian decided to explore Fifth Peak.
The distance from Second Peak to Fifth Peak spanned over 200 kiloters, needing to bypass Third Peak and Fourth Peak.
To avoid recognition and opting against disguise, Qin Tian put on a mask and rushed all the way.
He had only a day, needing to return to Yin Mansion before dark, or risk being deed a runaway house servant by Gao Ping.
In less than three hours, Qin Tian arrived at the foot of Fifth Peak, looked at the steep, expansive roads, took a deep breath, mingling in with the crowd climbing the mountain and entering Fifth Peak.
Fifth Peak’s buildings were far more magnificent and Secret Manual-filled than Second Peak, resembling a bustling city.
Qin Tian wandered briefly inside, observing many grand mansions but finding little of note initially.
However, he could essentially determine that Yin Yue Demon Venerate and others likely hid at Fifth Peak.
"I’ll explore Second Peak thoroughly again; if I find nothing, they’re certainly at Fifth Peak. Take it slow."
Resolute to return, but before descending, Qin Tian spotted a familiar figure—
The Luo Family’s Young Master, Luo Tianming.
