Fairy, I am truly a virtuous gentleman!

The next day, morning.

Ning Yuan washed up with the help of Xiao Lingjiang and Qiao Shuang.

Qiao Shuang was in charge of dressing Ning Yuan and binding his waist, while Xiao Lingjiang held a towel soaked in spiritual spring water, gently raised her fair hand, covered the boy's face, and gently rubbed and caressed it to wipe his face.

Although she hadn't served as a maid for long, a genius is a genius after all. Not only was Xiao Lingjiang incredibly gifted in swordsmanship, but she also learned to serve others with remarkable speed and ease.

She has a serious personality and once she sets her mind on a goal or a task, she will do her best to accomplish it.

Therefore, even Qiao Shuang couldn't find any major problems with Xiao Lingjiang.

Just now, Xiao Lingjiang carefully tied up her hair so that the strands wouldn't fall and touch Ning Yuan's skin.

At the same time, Xiao Lingjiang's gaze trembled from time to time, and she couldn't help but want to look into the bedroom inside.

Although it was just a fleeting glimpse upon entering the house, the exaggerated scene of a wet and messy place was deeply imprinted in her mind.

Such a scene, could it really not be the use of some kind of water-based magic?

Distracted, Xiao Lingjiang put away the towel, only to meet Ning Yuan's meaningful, dark eyes.

Even though she hadn't done anything wrong, Xiao Lingjiang still felt guilty and avoided the topic a little, her beautiful face flushing slightly.

In contrast, Qiao Shuang appeared completely at ease.

She stood behind Ning Yuan, her arms wrapped around the boy, her soft breasts pressed against his broad back, half-embracing him. The posture was so ambiguous, like that of a young couple cuddling and entwining, and there was no sense of incongruity.

Even though she had meticulously arranged every detail for Ning Yuan, including but not limited to his collar and hem, Qiao Shuang still felt it was slightly insufficient.

She kept looking at the handsome young man beneath her, becoming more and more satisfied with her gaze. Her full lips glowed with an alluring honey color as she moved closer and closer.

Hehe, this handsome young man was raised by my own hands!

In the end, Ning Yuan noticed the other person's slight unease. With a slight smile, he waved the person away after he finished washing up.

Xiao Lingjiang didn't react much, just gave a soft reply and silently walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.

At this point, Xiao Lingjiang, who was standing in the courtyard, could no longer hear any sound from inside.

Ning Muxian had set up an array around this manor, and every inch of the land had been personally refined by a Daoist master. It was extremely difficult for ordinary cultivators' divine sense and magical power to penetrate even a fraction of it.

Time passed slowly, and no one knew what kind of intense, dramatic conflict was taking place inside the house.

Apart from……

"My good disciple, do you want to know what is happening inside? Although the formation of this manor is extraordinary, I can enhance your hearing with my soul power, so it won't be difficult for you to hear the two of them talking."

A cool, clear voice suddenly rang in Xiao Lingjiang's mind, coaxing her gently.

Xiao Lingjiang replied irritably, "Not interested."

I don't know why, but I always feel that ever since I met Ning Yuan, my master has gradually lost his mysterious and aloof demeanor and has become more talkative.

Like a sparrow searching for its morning meal, it chirped all day long, and kept repeating the same message: don't let your attention be distracted by matters of men and women, but focus on your cultivation. Once you reach a higher level, everything you want will become easy.

However, this situation changed dramatically after yesterday...

"Then let's not discuss that matter. However, regarding last night's incident, have you made a decision?"

Xiao Lingjiang was slightly taken aback, and her expression slowly became somewhat complicated.

After a long silence, she replied softly, "Let's give it a try. If he agrees, then all will be well."

"What if you disagree?"

Xiao Lingjiang frowned slightly. "Then we'll naturally look for another opportunity."

The cold voice fell silent for a moment, then said quietly, "I have already explained the benefits to you. Given your current situation, it would take you a long time to obtain a spot fairly and squarely. But right now, there is an opportunity to rise to the top in one step."

If successful, what would become of the Xiao family, or even the entire Great Li Dynasty? Even if that boy in the room truly became your male favorite and bed toy, it wouldn't be a joke anymore...

"Ha, why give me that look? You show no respect for your teacher whatsoever. Am I lying? Your thoughts are practically written all over your face, and it's only been a few days..."

Xiao Lingjiang looked annoyed, but her charming and spirited face was flushed with embarrassment.

"What if I simply don't want to speak?"

Seemingly realizing that his words had been too blunt, causing the girl's pride to erupt, he immediately stopped speaking in a cool voice.

After a moment of reflection, the cold voice softened and calmed, regaining its composure, and sighed:

"If you don't want to... then you don't want to. Letting things take their natural course is a shortcut. Perhaps I was indeed too hasty. After all, I've been waiting for that day for far too long..."

The master and apprentice fell silent.

The cool, clear voice understood the girl's inner turmoil.

This is what makes her different from the Xiao family; her cool voice is willing to place the choice equally before Xiao Lingjiang.

In this way, no matter the outcome, at least there will be no rift between us.

"Master, how confident are you?"

Suddenly, Xiao Lingjiang asked in her mind.

"Seventy percent."

He replied succinctly in a cool, clear voice.

"Seventy percent? That's quite a lot..."

Xiao Lingjiang muttered to herself.

At this moment, the main door of the house opened wide, and Qiao Shuang, dressed in palace attire, with a calm expression and elegant demeanor, walked out.

"The Fairy of Spiritual Sound..."

Xiao Lingjiang had just finished calling out when Qiao Shuang abruptly interrupted him.

"Young Master instructed me to do something. I am not in the manor today, so you will be his only personal maid today, and you will be in charge of all matters, big and small."

Xiao Lingjiang stood there, stunned. What a coincidence!

Seeing the girl standing motionless, Qiao Shuang pursed her red lips and added, "Of course, even so, you don't need to overthink it. Just do whatever the young master says, and give him whatever he wants, understand?"

Xiao Lingjiang seemed to wake from a dream, and bowed, saying, "Lingjiang understands."

Qiao Shuang nodded, her clothes fluttering, and her whole body burst into a surge of spiritual energy, transforming into a streak of seven-colored light as she disappeared into the distance.

Even after Qiao Shuang's figure had completely disappeared into the horizon, the girl remained standing in the courtyard.

"Yes, there's no doubt about it. Ning Yuan did indeed give this woman some instructions."

Xiao Lingjiang's eyebrows twitched, as if she couldn't hold back any longer, "Master! You really did eavesdrop!"

"..."

Unable to get a response, Xiao Lingjiang took a deep breath, looked at the main house again, and finally went back to her own room.

...

...

Inside the room, Ning Yuan sat in the main seat, his hands resting flat on his knees, exuding a refined and magnanimous aura.

Squeak.

The familiar sound of the door being pushed open rang out.

Ning Yuan looked up.

A beautiful, shy young woman stepped inside, bathed in sunlight.

Her flowing robes fluttered in the wind, her skin was as white as snow, her eyes were as clear as autumn water, her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and her figure was graceful. Bathed in the soft light of the morning sun, she looked like a goddess descending to earth.

However, Ning Yuan feigned surprise and asked blankly, "What is this...?"
