Chapter 716: Diviner, Shamaness

The lingering scent left by Situ Wan’Er still lingered by the pillow.

This woman had already let go when she was at Miaoxue Manor outside the city, but upon returning to the Lin Residence, she became reserved. Even while enjoying the pleasures of love in bed, she held back her voice, not daring to shout too loudly.

Actually, what she didn’t know was that when Lin Miao’s bedroom was designed and built, soundproofing was taken into account.

No matter how loud it was inside, as long as the door was closed, it couldn’t be heard outside, unless you channeled inner breath into your ears.

She was already gone.

Only the lingering scent remained.

Her cultivation had been restored, even advancing to new heights, and she said she would return to Inquisition Sect to resolve the issues between Sun Youwei and Hua Qingye, the mother and daughter.

She also said that when she returned, it would be the time she broke through to the Tianyuan stage.

Lin Miao imparted the “Red Rainbow Heart Skill” he comprehended to Situ Wan’Er. Only after obtaining the Red Rainbow Heart Skill did Situ Wan become truly devoted to Lin Miao, determined to commit to this young man for life.

She not only gave her body but also lost her heart, feeling that what this man gave her was too much, leaving her with no way to repay him.

Hearing about the visit from the Gu Family, she resolutely decided to return to the Inquisition Sect, to meet with her senior sister Hua Qingye, and personally inform her about the situation between Sun Youwei and Lin Miao.

No matter what decision Hua Qingye made, she decided to stay with Lin Miao, even if it meant losing her status as a True Disciple of the Inquisition Sect.

As for the position of Peak Master at Yaoguang Peak, it no longer felt important to her.

In the future, even if she didn’t stay at the Inquisition Sect, she believed her achievements would not lose to any Peak Master in the Inquisition Sect, so why cling to a position as Peak Master?

With Xia Zhu gone, the position of medic at Yongning Hall naturally went to Ruan Qingyao. Xu Qixi still had a girlish demeanor and wasn’t formally appointed.

After interaction.

Ruan Qingyao, besides being exceptionally beautiful, was satisfactory in every other aspect, even possessing insights and intuition in medicine that were no less than Sun Youwei’s.

As such, while Lin Miao was guiding Sun Youwei, he also had Ruan Qingya follow along and listen.

He had no intention of hoarding his medical skills, believing that medical skills were meant for healing and saving lives. The more people who learned, the more lives could be saved, and this was the mindset a good doctor should have.

Therefore, Lin Miao didn’t mind at all that Ruan Qingyao wanted to learn, and he even actively asked her if she could understand.

After all, when an attractive and pleasing beauty looked at him with admiration, it was quite fulfilling.

The heart doesn’t stir all at once.

Fortunately, he restrained himself and headed to Li Jing.

One man, along with two magic creatures, Lin Huo and Bing Hou. These two wanted to see the outside world, and even if he didn’t take them, they would follow.

He couldn’t limit their freedom.

So, it was better to let them follow along.

After all, they could transform.

A man riding a horse, with a red puppy in his arms, and behind him on the horse was a white “cat”.

If it weren’t for Lin Huo’s jealousy, not allowing Lin Miao to get close to his wife, it would have been Lin Miao holding Bing Hou, with Fire Qilin sitting behind.

Cloud-Riding Ridge.

The place where the Crown Prince was attacked.

After the snow melted, the corpses had long been dealt with, but some bloodstains still remained on the ground.

Whoa!

Lin Miao pulled on the reins, jumped off the horse, and walked a short distance, feeling with his hand the lingering aura left in the air from the battle of experts of the Tianyuan stage.

After about a stick of incense’s time, he mounted the horse again and sped towards Li Jing.

…

Lin Residence.

Yue Mei’Er returned, bringing with her a batch of vegetables from her own fields. Being fresh, they were brought back for the people in the residence to eat and to supply Huaye Tower.

Anyway, the fertile water should not flow to others’ fields.

As a woman of the residence, it was natural to pay respects to Sun Youwei, the lady of the house. Even if it was just a facade, it still had to be done.

Everyone knew Sun Youwei’s position in Lin Miao’s heart—anyone except the foolish would know who to choose and help.

Yue Mei’Er never thought of competing for favor, and in reality, considering her ranking in the residence, there was no chance for her to compete even if she wanted to.

Whether it was the already established lady of the house, Sun Youwei, or Lin Miao’s first woman, Si Miaoxue,

she couldn’t compete with them. Mainly, it was because Lin Miao understood clearly, and Si Miaoxue and Sun Youwei were both smart people. They had already joined forces and maintained a tacit agreement, leaving no room for competition.

Besides, it seemed there was no need to compete—the result of insatiable desire would be being swept out the door.

An outstanding man never lacked women around him. Only those irreplaceable could stay for long, as mere ornamental vases could always be replaced.

Yue Mei’Er was certainly not an ornamental vase.

“Lady Youwei, if you have time, you may go to the manor to stay for some days. With summer here, the city isn’t as hot, and the tranquility outside is suitable for studying medical books and preparing for examinations.”

“Hmm, what you say makes sense. Since there is nothing else, I might as well stay at the manor for a few days, just to relax.” Sun Youwei nodded, admitting that reading medical books at home every day could indeed be tiresome, and a proper rest would be nice.

“Tomorrow, see if Xiao Qi is free to go together. She had long wanted to go.” Sun Youwei thought about it; staying at the residence all the time wasn’t good either, and she should go out for a walk, anyway, with Lianxin and Liansuo accompanying her, there wouldn’t be any safety issues.

“Alright, then I’ll go back and make preparations?”

“No rush. I didn’t say we’re going tomorrow, Mei’Er. Since you’re back, stay for a night and return tomorrow; it’s not too late.”

“Alright then.” Yue Mei’Er nodded, realizing she couldn’t leave the house unattended merely because Lin Miao was away.

In the evening, they had dinner together.

The rule in Lin Miao’s house was that all family members must dine together. If they didn’t gather for meals while busy with their own affairs, they would become estranged.

“Mrs. Yun.”

“Mei’Er is back,” Yun responded calmly, having understood that she was only nominally the elder in this house, and some matters weren’t for an outsider to manage.

Especially the women around Lin Miao, each one prettier than the last, and either from noble backgrounds or mysterious origins.

Even Sun Youwei, the girl she watched grow up, had a hidden identity that was hard for ordinary folks to reach.

So now, she didn’t interfere in anything.

“Mrs. Yun, what’s for dinner tonight? I haven’t tasted the mansion’s cooking in a long time,” Yue Mei’Er asked expectantly.

“It’s summer, so the lady of the house instructed the kitchen to prepare something light. But tonight, there should be your favorite, cold lotus root salad,” Yun said.

“Really, that’s wonderful.”

Southern dishes are hard to find in the north.

“Mrs. Yun, Sister Mei’Er, you two are here.” The sisters Lianxin and Liansuo always arrived early, as they had to arrange the dishes.

Normally, maids would do that, but they preferred to do it themselves.

Soon after, Sun Youwei also arrived.

“Where’s Xiao Qi? I called her to come for dinner tonight,” Sun Youwei glanced around, not seeing Xu Qixi, and asked.

“She might be on her way back. Yongning Hall was a bit busy today, so she’s returning late!” Lianxin replied.

“And Shi Yin? Why is she always busy whenever I ask her to come for dinner?”

“Younger sister Shi Yin is managing the business at Huaye Tower. It’s the time when guests are dining, so she can’t compare to us leisure seekers…” Yue Mei’Er laughed.

At this moment, a young woman in a blue cloth dress walked in. With her eyes closed, she seamlessly stepped over the threshold and entered.

When Yue Mei’Er saw this woman, she was shocked and quickly covered her mouth as if seeing an extraordinary person.

“Wu…”

“Oh!” As soon as Yue Mei’Er uttered the word “Wu”, the blind woman slightly opened her mouth in surprise.

“Sister Mei’Er, let me introduce. This is the blind girl Xiao Wu, also a pitiable person, a diviner temporarily residing at our mansion!” Sun Youwei introduced.
