Chapter 623 - 623: The Servant in a 7-Day Seclusion Vanished

Lin Yue gazed at Jiang Xinghai, a complex emotion flickering in her eyes.

She knew Jiang Xinghai was doing this to help her better understand and practice the Art of Taming Men. But she was also aware that it required trust, a deep connection, and mutual affection between them...

"Xinghai, I…"

Lin Yue still hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath. "Are you ready? Because here I come."

"I can be at my peak at any moment. Come on."

Jiang Xinghai smiled and nodded. He decided to let Lin Yue practice on her own first, using the theories she had learned. He would only step in to guide her into a state of seduction at critical moments.

'The Art of Taming Men, indeed!'

'Which of the ancient emperors' concubines didn't know it?'

Eventually, as Lin Yue explored and experimented, she gradually relaxed her body and mind.

With Jiang Xinghai's occasional guidance, Lin Yue began to experiment with more advanced techniques and sensations.

As time passed, Lin Yue grew increasingly skilled with the Art of Taming Men. She became better at understanding and responding to Jiang Xinghai's emotions and needs, while also learning to clearly express her own thoughts and desires.

When the morning sun streamed through the window and into the room, Jiang Xinghai and Lin Yue were already awake.

They looked at each other and smiled, as if last night's experience had created an unspoken understanding between them.

"Thank you, Xinghai."

Lin Yue looked at Jiang Xinghai with gratitude. She had experienced firsthand just how wonderful this man was, having achieved the ultimate pleasure in both body and soul.

"I believe this art will allow you to captivate any man."

"But at the same time, you have to know its limits. You can't just be wanton, understand?" Jiang Xinghai reminded her with a smile.

Lin Yue nodded. "Don't worry, I understand."

"So, what are your plans now?"

Jiang Xinghai started to get up and get dressed, but Lin Yue snatched his clothes away.

"Let me help you get dressed."

Lin Yue very carefully helped Jiang Xinghai get dressed. "This is also part of the Art of Taming Men, you know."

Jiang Xinghai didn't refuse and continued, "I have a few things to take care of today, so I can't be with you. What will you be busy with?"

"I have to handle some company business. A film starts shooting next week, right here in the Imperial City. Will you visit me on set?" Lin Yue asked expectantly.

"Barring any surprises, I should be in the Imperial City next week." Jiang Xinghai didn't give Lin Yue any guarantees.

After all, he bore heavy responsibilities. Besides facing the hatred of his maternal grandfather's Ji Family, he also had to avenge the annihilation of his own Jiang Family.

More importantly, there were the members of the Celestial Profound Realm Shadow Sect, who were poised to make a comeback.

Therefore, he would probably be very busy and found it hard to give Lin Yue a guarantee.

"Okay, then let's part ways here. But don't make me wait too long, okay? I'll miss you." After helping Jiang Xinghai finish dressing, Lin Yue began to slowly put on her own clothes.

"I won't make you wait too long. Maybe when I visit you on set, I could even play an extra," Jiang Xinghai joked with a smile.

"Hmm, you have a good look, and you're a Martial Arts practitioner. How about I try to get you the role of the second or third male lead?" Lin Yue was genuinely getting excited.

Jiang Xinghai laughed heartily. "I was just kidding. I'm afraid I won't have that much time."

"If you have an idea, you should go for it."

Lin Yue finished dressing and looked at Jiang Xinghai, reluctant to leave. "A hug before I go isn't too much to ask, is it?"

Jiang Xinghai gave Lin Yue a warm hug. "Lin Yue, I'm very happy to have met you. But when you go out in the future, you should at least bring an attendant, or better yet, hire a Martial Arts bodyguard. Otherwise, if something like last night happens again, it could be very dangerous."

"Don't worry, I have people with me."

Lin Yue smiled. "It's just that when I went to Kunlun to seek treatment, I didn't want them to know. After all, my condition was Vaginal Agenesis, which is really embarrassing to talk about, so I avoided everyone… But because of what happened last night, the news has spread, and my agent and the others all know I'm back."

"Speaking of last night, regarding that Xiao Xinxin, I will definitely fulfill my promise to you. Before your shoot starts next week, I'll have her blacklisted nationwide." Jiang Xinghai had obtained a great deal of Primordial Yin Power from Lin Yue and wanted to give something back to this woman.

"Then it's a deal."

Lin Yue proactively left Jiang Xinghai's embrace. "That's it, then. My agent and the team are already downstairs. Goodbye, Xinghai."

Jiang Xinghai walked Lin Yue to the elevator before turning and heading to his parents' room.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK...

As he knocked on the door, he called out, "Dad, Mom, I'm back."

Less than three seconds later, Jiang Wendong opened the door in his pajamas. "It's good you're back, my son. Was the trip successful?"

He asked about what happened in Kunlun over the past two days as he put an arm around Jiang Xinghai and led him into the room.

Jiang Xinghai only gave a rough account of consulting his master about a treatment for his father's Dantian Seal. As for the intimate time he spent with Lin Yue, he naturally left that part out.

"Thirty-six medicinal herbs, plus your acupuncture treatment, and my Dantian Seal can be broken?"

After getting his son's confirmation, Jiang Wendong was ecstatic. He excitedly burst into the bathroom. "Honey, did you hear our son? My Dantian Seal can be broken!"

"Old Jiang! I'm still in the shower! Get out! Our son is still out there!"

From the bathroom came Ji Qingya's plaintive voice.

"What's there to be shy about? It's our son out there!"

Jiang Wendong's voice was brimming with irrepressible excitement. "Come on, let's shower together."

Outside the bathroom, Jiang Xinghai looked completely mortified.

'Seems like his mother really likes her morning showers.'

'Could it be that last night was another sleepless one for them?'

「About half an hour later.」

The couple, Jiang Wendong and Ji Qingya, walked out of the bathroom wearing bathrobes.

"Xinghai, did you get back last night? Or did you just get off the plane today?" Ji Qingya walked over, her face full of affection.

"Mom, I came back last night."

After seeing his mother Ji Qingya's complexion, Jiang Xinghai stepped forward and promised, "Within three days, I can restore your appearance to how it was before. Then, you'll be able to retain your youthful looks forever."

"Xinghai, I've never dared to dream of eternal youth. It's enough if my skin can just look younger and smoother."

Ji Qingya had always been a natural beauty. It was only because she had been imprisoned and tortured in Mirror Lake Manor for the past five years that she had aged so noticeably.

The family of three chatted for a little while longer.

"I should head to the Cao Family's home. I promised to help one of their clan members with a heart condition, and it's time I fulfilled my promise." Jiang Xinghai checked the time. It was 9:30 AM; he really should get going.

"Does that mean we can set off for the Imperial City today?" Jiang Wendong's expression turned serious upon hearing this.

Ji Qingya's expression was just as grave.

'Is it finally time to face my older brother and my father?'

'Black Cloak, Mr. Long... Ji Xiao!'

"It depends on whether my servant, Sun Zhen, can come out of seclusion today. We'll set off tomorrow at the latest." Jiang Xinghai calculated the time. Today happened to be the last of Sun Zhen's seven days of seclusion.

「A few minutes later.」

Jiang Xinghai left his parents' room and arrived before a door guarded by two soldiers.

"Young Master Jiang."

These two guards were soldiers that Zheng Wuji from the Eastern Territory had assigned to protect Sun Zhen during his seclusion.

"Have there been any strange noises from the room these past few days?" As Jiang Xinghai asked, he also cocked his ear to listen.

He was now an early-stage Guiyuan Realm expert, and his powerful Perception could radiate out to a radius of about five hundred meters.

"Young Master Jiang, since we started our watch, there hasn't been a single sound from the room…"

"Shh…"

Jiang Xinghai held up a hand, cutting off the soldier's response. He frowned. "Where is he?"

Within the range of his Perception, there was no one in the room at all!

'His servant vanished in the middle of his seclusion?'
