Chapter 699: Chapter 510: The Third Time! (2)

She once accompanied her father to the palace for a New Year banquet and had a private audience with the Empress. It was this kind of feeling, where she didn’t dare to have even the slightest thought of desecration.

Indeed, as Lien Yurou had said, Sun Youwei didn’t make things difficult for her, which eased her concerned mind.

If Sun Youwei truly pursued her for deliberately “seducing” Lin Miao, she would have had nothing to say. After all, it was agreed beforehand that she was only using this identity to do things and should not have any substantial relationships.

Now, what she’s doing clearly crosses the line. This just after collaboration starts like this, who knows what might happen in the future.

If she leaves an impression as a “seductress,” it would be terrible.

Unexpectedly, in Sun Youwei’s mind, Su Yi wasn’t even considered an “opponent.” The real threat, in Sun Youwei’s eyes, was only one person, and that was Si Miaoxue.

A man’s feelings for his first woman are always special. Si Miaoxue was Lin Miao’s first woman and also one of his most trusted people.

If it weren’t for Si Miaoxue’s non-contention and even helping her suppress Yue Mei’Er, the position of the first lady would indeed be uncertain.

Although Lin Miao and Sun Youwei had a marriage agreement, they were not yet married. Moreover, her father, Sun Simiao, had passed away. With Lin Miao’s talent and ability, what kind of woman couldn’t he get?

As a matter of fact, the concubines lined up for Lin’s mansion were not ordinary women; each was both talented and beautiful.

This made her, the Mrs. Lin, the mistress of the household, instead seem insignificant.

Of course, in Lin Miao’s eyes, he never thought Sun Youwei was inferior to others, nor did he ever hold any thought of looking down on her.

She was the one with him through thick and thin. He would never abandon her, especially since Sun Youwei was not only beautiful but also incredibly talented and gifted, especially in medicine. If it wasn’t for him being a transmigrant, he wouldn’t be able to compare to such a genius young lady like Sun Youwei.

One might say the heavens envy the talented. Sun Youwei had talent but was constrained by her body, lacking a good teacher to guide her, wasting her natural talent.

“Su Yi, it’s nothing now, Mrs. Youwei is very approachable. You heard today; not only is she letting me teach you the Heart Method but also granting you equal status to ours…” Lien Yurou smiled knowingly. She was somewhat surprised today too.

However, the clever her also understood that Sun Youwei was establishing her authority as the head mistress in front of Su Yi, ensuring that not just any woman could enter the mansion in the future.

“Yurou, what is this Heart Method that Mrs. Youwei mentioned?” Su Yi asked curiously, “Could it be a martial art heart method? I’m already thirty years old, far past the age for martial arts training…”

“This Heart Method is indeed a martial arts Heart Method. It’s divided into two parts. The first part is called ‘Minor Formless Skill’, which all women in Lin’s mansion can cultivate. Of course, if there’s anything better, you may not practice it, or practice it as a supplement. The second part requires the young master to guide you in cultivation. As for what it feels like, you’ll soon find out…” Lien Yurou smiled mysteriously.

“What does it feel like, Yurou? Have you also practiced it?”

“Hmm, don’t you notice any changes compared to before?” Lien Yurou said with a cheerful smile.

“Changes?” Su Yi observed Lien Yurou closely, her gaze finally pausing on her hips, then moving up to her chest, and stopping.

“Su Yi, what are you looking at?” Lien Yurou blushed instantaneously.

“Yurou, I remember a year ago you seemed to only…”

“Su Yi, stop it.” Lien Yurou was both shy and flustered, such words couldn’t be raised face-to-face.

“Yurou, you have to teach me well, I also want…” Su Yi said, being a woman too, naturally, she hoped for it.

…

“After meeting you the night before, I find it increasingly hard to suppress.” Jin Wushuang came to find Lin Miao, her body visibly stiff, and her facial expression was also abnormal.

“I’ve studied your Red Rainbow Heart Skill these two days, and there are indeed considerable defects. I tried to revise and supplement it, which might help you.”

After speaking, Lin Miao handed Jin Wushuang a paper with still wet ink.

“This is…” Jin Wushuang’s eyes swept over the contents of the paper, immediately drawn in by them, the profundity of which couldn’t help but evoke her insights.

Over the years, she had mastered the incomplete texts of the Red Rainbow Scripture, her understanding deeper than even her master’s.

But she still couldn’t solve this problem.

If Baili Bingyun hadn’t provided this path, she really wouldn’t have wanted to find Lin Miao.

“You supplemented this?”

“Yes, I also tried it myself, but I’m not the right ventricle. You must try to know its effect.” Lin Miao nodded.

“Alright, can you protect me?”

“Yes!” Lin Miao nodded. If the Red Rainbow Scripture could be restored, he would be very willing.

Jin Wushuang sat cross-legged, modulating her internal energy according to the improved Heart Method.

Soon, the surging feeling in her body calmed down, and the flow of inner energy became smoother and quicker.

In just the time of a cup of tea, Jin Wushuang’s face softened, indicating that the drawbacks introduced by the Cultivation Technique were temporarily suppressed.

“This can only delay the onset of my problem. With the advancement of my cultivation, my problem remains unsolved.” After about the time of an incense stick, Jin Wushuang opened her eyes, her expression noticeably lighter.

“It’s good to alleviate it, at least it’s a good start.” Lin Miao nodded. He was quite interested in this Red Rainbow Scripture, feeling its profundity not much worse than the Moon Secret Record.

Presumably, it was something passed down from ancient times.

“You’re so unwilling to help me, do you think I’m old?” Jin Wushuang stared straight at Lin Miao and asked, “Or do you think my looks aren’t as good as those women of yours?”

“Ahem, ahem…” Lin Miao was quite embarrassed by such a straightforward question.

“To be favored by the Frost Dye Spear, how dare I look down on it, but between us…” Lin Miao didn’t know how to explain their awkward relationship.

“Are you worried I’ll cling to you afterward? No problem, just consider it me hiring you, you are a physician, isn’t it your duty to treat and save people?”

“Jin Wushuang, this is different from a doctor’s duty to save people.”

“To me, it’s the same thing, I get rid of shackles, gain liberation, and you don’t lose out.” Jin Wushuang said.

“But essentially, if I do this, you become my woman, will you accept this identity?” Lin Miao countered.

“If you don’t object, I don’t mind, after all, you’re even with…”

“Jin Wushuang, you can even say such things out loud!” Lin Miao hurriedly interrupted. What’s happened to the people around him lately, they’ve all become not quite normal.

“The things you gave me are useful, I’ll ponder them and come back in a few days to find you.” Jin Wushuang got up and left.

…

At the same time, in Cloud-Riding Ridge.

“Crown Prince, something’s not right, it’s too quiet around here…” Tie Lin personally led the team to escort Zhao Yuanze back to the capital, with a camp of Yulin Guards.

Only a few prince guards remained, along with experts from the Imperial City Department.

This time there were also experts from the Blade Catching Alliance and a group of elites led by Zhuo Qingfeng, along with the elite of the Su Clan from Lanzhou in secret accompanying.

Moreover, they even used falcon reconnaissance to ensure any potential enemy would be discovered at the first moment.

But upon reaching this place, where two assassination attempts happened, it still felt a bit off.

Three times the charm, do these people really intend to assassinate the Crown Prince at the same place for the third time?

This is madness!

Whoosh whoosh!

Familiar arrows suddenly shot over, not just one or two this time, but overwhelming, at least a hundred!

“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!” The Yulin Guard’s response was quicker than the Eastern Palace guards, their experience in group battles showing as they swiftly formed a military formation, encasing the Crown Prince and others within.

Moments later, hundreds of warriors clad in black clothes and Profound Armor emerged from underground, charging at the Crown Prince’s group.

These people were evidently long ambushing here, waiting for this moment.

“Crown Prince, it’s the Profound Armor Army. Mr. Pei reported that after sealing the Xue Family Manor, Scorpio and the Profound Armor Army attacked Xue Family Manor. If it weren’t for the Blade Catching Alliance and the Su Family’s help, he and the confiscated evidence would’ve been lost then!” Tie Lin exclaimed in surprise.

The same place, for the third time!

Crown Prince Zhao Yuanze, furious, directly snapped the white jade thumb ring on his hand.
