A voice that seed both mournful and tearful erged from Si Miaoxue’s throat.
This woman had been holding it in for too long and finally released it.
"Mr. Lin, we’ve been apart for less than a month, and I’m almost going crazy. If we’re separated for a longer ti in the future, what should I do?"
Si Miaoxue drew small circles on Lin Miao’s chest with her delicate fingers.
"Stop it; you’re just craving my body."
"Hehehe..." Si Miaoxue laughed with a sound resembling an "eagle," her interaction with Lin Miao was different from Sun Youwei; they initially aid for that little affair between n and won.
However, now they’ve grown feelings for each other.
"Let’s talk about Baili Yuyao’s matter. You still owe an explanation." Lin Miao lightly stroked the silky back and asked.
"Baili Yuyao’s true identity is the next generation of the embroideress."
"What did you say?" Lin Miao was shocked; he hadn’t expected Baili Yuyao to have such a surprising identity.
"Then her mother must be the current embroideress?"
"Yes, the current embroideress had issues during cultivation, claiming to be in retreat to avoid publicizing the news. Very few people know this secret now..."
"Why would she tell you about such confidential matters? This generation of embroideress wouldn’t be so thoughtless, would she? If this news were to spread, the Embroidery House would be in danger," Lin Miao said. Li Hen City is a place full of crises. As long as the embroideress is well, no one would dare provoke the Embroidery House, but if the embroideress has physical issues, internally or externally, who wouldn’t want to take a bite of this big piece of at?
If the Embroidery House were a united entity, there wouldn’t need to use "retreat" as an excuse to keep this secret from the outside.
There must be internal strife.
"The embroideress failed to break through, leading to hemiplegia, which has a huge impact. No matter internally or externally, no half of the news can be leaked. Therefore, breaking the situation internally is impossible unless she can recover herself; otherwise, she must seek external power to solve the problem." Si Miaoxue said.
"So, we happened to appear?" Lin Miao understood. Si Miaoxue’s acquaintance with Baili Yuyao seed natural, but it was likely intentional.
In public view, due to the auction of the exotic python from Yingfeng Valley, Baili Yuyao and Si Miaoxue t and even beca good sisters.
"Isn’t she afraid that we’re bad people, eventually leading to inviting wolves into the house?" Lin Miao asked. In Li Hen City, few people are pure, and pure people can’t survive.
"In comparison, we’re still quite weak. As long as the embroideress’s body problem can be solved, naturally everything else will not be a problem."
Si Miaoxue’s answer was very straightforward yet reasonable.
"Does she know your identity?"
"Yes, there’s no need to hide my identity from her. After all, in Li Hen City, my identity as the demoness of the Moon Worship Sect doesn’t count for much. There are plenty of evil and wicked people here. And I’ve had contact with the Embroidery House with my master before, although not reaching Baili Yuyao’s level, but there’s still so understanding." Si Miaoxue said, "The Embroidery House is actually quite good to these won. Of course, it’s not comparable to the outside; there are things you might find unpalatable, but in Li Hen City, it’s a norm; it’s not sothing the Embroidery House alone can solve..."
Lin Miao could understand this. Here is a city without laws, where sin and desire run rampant, many things can’t naturally be compared to the outside.
But externally, the darkness may not be much better than here. Anything you see here, doesn’t exist outside?
You simply can’t reach or discover it.
"Temporarily relying on the Embroidery House, or establishing friendly relations with them, is the fastest and swiftest way for us to establish ourselves in Li Hen City. For Lin’s to expand smoothly, Baili Yuyao has made quite an effort. Without her secret support, our trouble would be considerable." Si Miaoxue said.
"Hmm, among the three major forces, the Embroidery House is the least ambitious in the expansion, making it a suitable partner. Heaven-Dominating Tower and Skull Association are too aggressive; cooperating with them, given the imbalance of power, is not the most advantageous for us." Lin Miao nodded, mostly agreeing with Si Miaoxue’s choice, and with Embroidery House run by won, as long as there’s no conflict of interest, communication becos easier.
"How did Baili Yuyao know about ?"
"Ever since I learned about her situation, I told her about my relationship with you." Si Miaoxue said.
"Did she actively ntion her mother’s condition to you?" Lin Miao asked.
"Not initially. She asked to help find a physician with great dical skills outside and secretly bring him to Li Hen City. Thus, I asked her why she needed a physician from outside. There are many physicians within Li Hen City, with several collaborating with the Embroidery House. Their dical skills are decent outside; can’t they be used? Only then she said, even though the physicians within Li Hen City have decent skills, their mouths are not tight, and once the news leaks, it will be troubleso. I understood; she didn’t want her mother’s deviation in cultivation, leading to hemiplegia, to be known externally. And by finding a physician through who doesn’t know her mother, under my na, it won’t be leaked."
"That’s indeed a solution. But since she could find you, she could also find others to do this..."
"Firstly, people originally from Li Hen City definitely won’t do. Secondly, if a physician from outside enters Li Hen City, news will inevitably leak. It’s a significant matter, once leaked, it’s a big deal. While I’m new here, I can avoid detection by others, bring people in, and with my relationship with Baili Yuyao, there wouldn’t be any suspicion."
"So, you are her carefully chosen partner?" Lin Miao understood; not only did Si Miaoxue choose Baili Yuyao, but Baili Yuyao also chose her.
It’s a mutual selection, a mutual pursuit, each having their needs and requirents, a taste of coincidence.
And what’s most unexpectedly easy was Baili Yuyao wanting to find a capable physician through Si Miaoxue, effortlessly finding one.
No wonder Baili Yuyao followed Si Miaoxue to "Lin’s" as soon as he arrived in Li Hen City.
"Miaoxue, do you think Baili Yuyao hasn’t tried anything else in the past six months?"
"I don’t know, anyway, my sister is very clever. If compared to cunning, she is not as good as Yue i’Er, that fox spirit. Who knows her intentions? She went ahead to Dongshan City to wait for you, but little did she know you would co to Li Hen City..."
"You didn’t tell her?"
"Why would I tell her? If she’s gone, there’s no one to compete with ."
"Then I guess she’ll get the news and surely co rushing tomorrow." Lin Miao helplessly sighed.
"That little wench has been harboring bad intentions. Mr. Lin, you should be on guard and not let her succeed." Si Miaoxue reminded.
Lin Miao was speechless for a mont, knowing exactly what bad intentions Si Miaoxue was talking about. But frankly, it’s nothing serious; it’s just his own thoughts. Si Miaoxue is only being mischievous by not telling Yue i’Er.
These two won have been scheming against each other since childhood, and now they are his won but still calculate against each other. Of course, these are harmless matters.
Nothing principled.
"There’s been no news from the Moon Worship Sect recently, right?"
"Yue i’Er handles that. I’ve defected; I’m a betrayer, so not very concerned about it." Si Miaoxue said.
"I’ll ask her later."
"What’s going on with the two girls from the Snow Mountain Sect next door? I heard you agreed to take them?" Si Miaoxue suddenly shifted the topic to the sisters Lianxin and Liansuo.
"Yes, Bai Feng represented the Snow Mountain Sect to negotiate with . They want to deepen ties with through marriage. I’ve agreed, and after marrying my senior sister, I’ll pick a date to marry them too." Lin Miao nodded.
"What about us? You didn’t say when you’d marry us too?" Si Miaoxue said with grievance.
"Your identities are not suitable for public exposure now. Once our castle in Yingfeng Valley is completed, I’ll hold a ceremony here for you two. Does that sound good?"
"Is it with us first?"
"Yes, consider it giving you a status." Lin Miao nodded. Having slept with them, he needed to take responsibility. While he couldn’t give them the position of the first wife, they needed a title.
"Really?"
"When have I ever lied to you?"
"You say you haven’t lied to , yet when you deceive, you don’t hold back..." Si Miaoxue was overjoyed and blushed.
...
Deep within the embroidery manor lies a refined abode.
This is the forbidden area of the embroidery manor, the retreat of the second-generation embroideress, and few can enter it regularly.
The guards are all trusted confidants of the second-generation embroideress, all won, with the least qualified being at the Peak of the Blood Fusion Realm.
There is also a senior maid and a sword-wielder serving the embroideress.
The maid was a follower of the first-generation embroideress. After the latter passed, she stayed with Baili Bingyun, the second-generation embroideress, to assist with her daily life. Despite her age, over seventy years, she too is an expert in the ridian Passage Realm.
The swordsman grew up with Baili Bingyun, originally her sword servant, and Baili Yuyao calls her "Mrs. i," a mid-level expert in the ridian Passage Realm.
Actually, Baili Yuyao also has a sword servant, but she’s currently in secluded training at a critical stage of breaking through to the Blood Fusion Realm.
"Mrs. i," Baili Yuyao walked into the refined abode and saw Mrs. i coming out of her mother’s living quarters, greeted her gracefully.
"Yuyao, you arrived late today. You know the master’s temper." Mrs. i slightly frowned.
"I had so matters to attend to today. Now that they’re done, I’ve co right back." Baili Yuyao quickly explained.
"Alright, you may enter. The master has been waiting for you for so ti." Mrs. i said no more. Baili Bingyun failed to advance, resulting in partial paralysis and becoming more severe even with close ones. Mrs. i knew how Baili Bingyun felt bad, yet also had no good solution.
There are too many cases of advancent failure; many experts fear taking that step for the fear of living a fate worse than death afterward.
Baili Bingyun was strong-willed all her life, yet couldn’t escape this fate. In contrast, the first-generation embroideress had peace of mind and departed smoothly.
"Thank you, Mrs. i." Baili Yuyao lifted her skirt and quickly walked forward.
