"This fish is fresh and delicious, and it doesn't have a fishy smell at all. It seems that the person who made this fish soup put in a lot of effort."
Upon hearing this, Ge Xinyao was quite happy. After all, this was fish soup that she and Lin Xueyi had made together, and it was naturally a very happy thing to be praised by the person who ate it.
He quickly said a few words of modesty, then smiled so wide his lips almost reached his ears, which made Lin Xueyi shake her head.
"Sir, are you an elder-level member of the Netherworld Ghost Valley?"
Lin Xueyi's sudden words startled the middle-aged man. He didn't quite understand why the young girl would say such a thing, but having spent many years wandering the martial world, he could tell that these two were not from the Netherworld Ghost Valley. However, the woman's cultivation was not even at the Innate level, and he couldn't discern any cultivation level from the young girl.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. For such a young child to develop any skills, she would have to be incredibly talented. Especially considering she already has decent cooking skills.
"I'm not from this Netherworld Valley. I was just invited here by chance to be a guest and meet the people here. I'll be leaving in a few days."
"Oh, I thought you were from the Ghost Valley. My sister and I are studying at this academy. If you were from the Ghost Valley, we could ask you to put in a good word for us after we graduate so we can find a better place."
These childish words made the man feel even more at ease with Lin Xueyi. He squatted down, raised his hand and patted Lin Xueyi's little head, "Although I am not from this Netherworld Ghost Valley, the person I know is a high-ranking member of the Netherworld Ghost Valley. He invited me here this time, and I will talk to him about your situation so that he can make good arrangements for you in the future."
Once they've settled things, that person will naturally have the authority to make arrangements for the two girls, as a return gift from him.
"Okay, thank you, uncle."
Ge Xinyao, standing to the side, was completely bewildered, having no idea how this was unfolding. Wasn't Lin Xueyi on good terms with Mo Ningyan? Moreover, given her own status, she couldn't be compared to an ordinary student from the Netherworld Ghost Valley Academy.
"You've eaten, and I've made my promises. Just focus on your studies at the academy these next few days. Someone will come looking for you when the time comes."
After finishing the last chicken foot in his hand, the middle-aged man casually tossed it into the stream, then leaped away and disappeared from their sight.
As soon as the man left, Ge Xinyao was about to speak and ask him some questions when she heard Lin Xueyi speak.
"That person's cultivation level is not much different from the previous Sea Emperor. A Grandmaster-level expert has secretly appeared in the Netherworld Ghost Valley. It seems that this place is not as safe as Ruoxue said."
With her eyes fixed on the departing figure, Lin Xueyi kept some things to herself. She could smell the scent of the assassins from before on that person, and finally found some useful information.
Main text: Chapter 252 Speculation (Two chapters published together)
Encountering a mysterious person gave Lin Xueyi a deeper understanding of the Netherworld Ghost Valley. Based on her experience reading novels, she was certain that something was going to happen here.
After careful consideration, according to the writing style of novels, if the other party wants to cause trouble, they must choose a joyous and lively day to make a scene, preferably a day that can make Mo Ningyan and her faction temporarily lower their guard.
Need I say more? It's the day Gu Youyue and Gu Jin are getting married. Only on that day will the Netherworld Ghost Valley become lively, and it will also make Mo Ningyan lower her guard to some extent. After all, she is her junior sister, and her senior brother's wedding will naturally draw some of her attention.
No, not just that day, but right now. Even when she's busy, she still makes time to arrange things for them. So, if they really want to take any action, now is the perfect time.
Sitting in the carriage on the way back, Lin Xueyi sipped the tea Ge Xinyao had brewed for her, pondering everything that had happened here. She didn't actually know many people here; aside from those few who were considered the top figures in the Netherworld Ghost Valley, there was probably only that纨绔 (wan ku, a spoiled brat). Hmm? Suddenly, thinking of that纨绔 named Luo Qing, Lin Xueyi frowned, as if she had remembered something.
"Sister Xinyao, has Luo Qing contacted you recently?"
Upon hearing Lin Xueyi mention Luo Qing, Ge Xinyao's delicate eyebrows furrowed, as if she felt somewhat uncomfortable hearing the name from Lin Xueyi.
However, she also knew that Lin Xueyi also disliked that man very much, so she certainly wouldn't bring up that name that both of them hated for no reason.
"Xueyi, have you discovered something?"
“I find it a bit strange. According to our investigation, Luo Qing is a very impatient person. But after the two of us arrived here, he acted out of character and didn’t make a move. Instead, he occasionally tried to make his presence known. This makes me think there’s something wrong with this.”
Don't tell me he thinks he's met his true love. That kind of melodramatic, domineering CEO drama plot couldn't possibly happen here. Something's fishy going on. Maybe this Luo Qing will be the breakthrough in her investigation.
However, Lin Xueyi felt she couldn't be too careless. After thinking it over, she decided it was necessary to tell Ruoxue what had happened to her. At least for now, she needed to warn her so she wouldn't be taken advantage of. Ruoxue would be the one who would suffer the most.
Taking the cup Lin Xueyi had finished drinking her tea from and setting it down, Ge Xinyao carefully refilled it with water. "Are you planning to tell Valley Master Mo? After all, this is an internal matter of the Netherworld Ghost Valley, and I..."
"I wanted to avoid this, but although this is an internal problem for the Netherworld Ghost Valley, the person from before wasn't from the Netherworld Ghost Valley. I'm afraid someone is colluding with outsiders to stage a coup."
Regarding Lin Xueyi's claim of plotting to usurp the throne, Ge Xinyao remained noncommittal. She was a righteous person, not a villain. In her eyes, the more chaotic the villainous path was, the more beneficial it would be for the righteous path.
"Do you think that Ruoxue's accident has weakened the strength of the Netherworld Ghost Valley, which would be beneficial to you?"
Lin Xueyi saw through Ge Xinyao's thoughts at a glance, but she didn't blame her. After all, good and evil have been irreconcilable since ancient times, and there are some things that have no precedent to follow, so she would naturally use her intuition to see things.
However, some things cannot be thought about or observed using intuition or common sense. For example, the Northern and Southern Song dynasties were typical examples of forgetting past mistakes. The Northern Song allied with the Jin to destroy the Liao, but after the Jin destroyed the Liao, they tore up the alliance and destroyed the Northern Song.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, they allied with the Mongols to destroy the Jin Dynasty. However, after the Mongols destroyed the Jin, they turned around and attacked the Southern Song, ultimately conquering it. Tell me, isn't this a classic case of forgetting past mistakes? A typical example of a slow learner.
At this time, Ge Xinyao was the same. She never thought that a force with the strength to turn the Netherworld Ghost Valley upside down would be a small force, and that this force might never have appeared in the martial arts world before.
The deeper the enemy hides, the greater their ambition. Perhaps when they reappear, the martial world will be plunged into another bloody storm.
"Do you think I'm wrong? The battle between good and evil is a life-or-death struggle. Their strength has been weakened, and as they rise and fall, our righteous path will naturally increase in strength. Moreover, we can take the opportunity to conquer more territory of the Netherworld Ghost Valley, further weakening their strength."
“If the righteous path really does this, then it will play into the enemy’s hands. Those people would love for you to make a move against the Netherworld Ghost Valley.”
Ge Xinyao was completely bewildered, having no idea why Lin Xueyi would say such a thing. Lin Xueyi didn't explain it to her clearly either, since it wouldn't make a difference even if she did, because it was an open conspiracy, a completely open conspiracy.
If her guess is correct, those people will definitely make their move, and the strength of the Netherworld Ghost Valley will be weakened. Regardless of who wins in the end, the righteous path will not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and will definitely target the Netherworld Ghost Valley's influence on the continent.
At that time, a great battle between good and evil will naturally break out. The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman benefits. Which force wants to be the fisherman?
Glancing at Lin Xueyi, who was smiling coldly to the side, Ge Xinyao knew that she definitely wouldn't get anything out of her. However, she still felt that the weakening of the Netherworld Ghost Valley's strength was a good thing for the righteous path.
"Sister Xinyao, what do you think is the purpose of a deeply hidden force that has the power to overthrow the Netherworld Ghost Valley? If the Netherworld Ghost Valley is indeed overthrown, who will be their next target after they have absorbed it?"
Lin Xueyi's words left Ge Xinyao speechless for a moment, especially after Lin Xueyi uttered the words "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold" from her small lips, after which she fell completely silent.
Looking at her sister who refused to think about it, Lin Xueyi knew that this was a difficult thing for her to accept. However, some problems had to be faced eventually.
Whether they are righteous or evil, when they truly encounter a common enemy, they will naturally set aside their past grievances and work together to deal with this common enemy. Of course, the premise is that this enemy is truly powerful, so powerful that neither side can defeat it alone.
"Let's go back first. I think you should have a way to see Valley Master Mo Ningyan."
"Of course, this car can take me to see Ruoxue."
Lin Xueyi smiled like a kitten that had just stolen some cream, her eyes brimming with laughter.
Upon seeing Lin Xueyi's adorable little face, Ge Xinyao couldn't help but shake her head and pinch the little girl's cheek with her hand.
"Alright, I'll head back by myself in a bit. Don't stay at Valley Master Mo's place for too long tonight. You're still a child; it's better not to get involved in some things too early."
Seeing Lin Xueyi looking at her blankly, Ge Xinyao felt that she had really talked too much. Wasn't this obviously setting a bad example for the child? But since she had already started, there was no way to take it back, so she could only continue talking.
"It's too late to come back. It's not safe on the road. After all, this is the territory of the evil sects. Who knows what kind of people are here?"
"Emmm, that makes sense. I understand. I'll go home earlier later."
Lin Xueyi's words about going home brought a faint sense of joy to Ge Xinyao's heart. After arriving at the city gate, she quickly jumped off the carriage and gave Lin Xueyi another word of advice just as she was about to walk back to the carriage.
"Remember to come back soon."
"Okay, don't worry, I'll definitely be back soon."
Lin Xueyi waved to Ge Xinyao before closing the carriage door and letting the driver continue on his way. However, the driver had a complicated expression on his face.
Sitting outside, she naturally overheard the conversation between the two women inside. Putting everything else aside, the young girl's identity alone put immense pressure on her.
After all, someone who directly addresses their own Valley Master by name, and whose words carry a hint of intimacy, would be lying if you said she had no relationship with the Valley Master. Especially after that, the slightly older woman's words clearly indicated that the girl's relationship with the Valley Master had become so intimate that it couldn't be said openly.
Leaving aside the coachman outside who was still agonizing over the situation, Lin Xueyi, back in the car, leaned against the window and watched Ge Xinyao leave before finally letting out a slight sigh of relief. Pretending to be a child was really too difficult; there were traps everywhere. If she had acted as if she understood what Ge Xinyao had said unintentionally, that would have been too fake. After all, who could believe that a young girl could know so much?
This isn't the world we knew before. In this world, things aren't as open-ended as they are, where you can get your hands on any action movie you want just by putting in the effort.
Aside from word of mouth, very little related information has been leaked. Emmm, okay, she admits that's too one-sided, since some novels do describe certain content.
However, who would talk about this with a young girl for no reason? Who would give a young girl a novel like this for no reason? Anyone with a brain could figure that out. So Lin Xueyi could only pretend not to understand before. She was really having a tough time.
There were two people, one inside the carriage and one outside, each with their own different struggles. However, they soon arrived at the carriage shop, since it wasn't too far from the city gate.
From afar, the carriage could be seen slowly approaching. The two women carrying swords who had been waiting there stood up straight to welcome the girl who was about to arrive.
"Chunlan (Qiuju) greets Miss Lin."
The waiter who had previously served Lin Xueyi was at a loss for words when he saw the two women who had once been by the Valley Master's side greeting this young girl so respectfully.
However, the two women didn't show anything at this moment. They just calmly looked at the luxurious carriage that had just stopped. This carriage was their Valley Master's personal carriage. If it weren't for the Valley Master's permission, even this carriage company wouldn't dare to rent it out casually.
"Spring Orchid and Autumn Chrysanthemum, nice names. Ruoxue sent you here."
Others might not know who Ruoxue is, but these two definitely do. In a sense, Lin Xueyi is also trying to deceive people, which is much better than directly calling her Mo Ningyan.
"Don't worry, Miss Lin. We've already discreetly cleared this area. Everyone around here is one of our own. And these two people you met before will be going back with us."
Hearing this arrangement, Lin Xueyi nodded in satisfaction in the car. That's right, that's how it should be. Since the other side is acting secretly, she should do the same. Anyway, if a fight really breaks out, she's not afraid of anyone.
She didn't know what would happen to this fellow and the other driver, but based on her understanding of Ruoxue, it wouldn't be that they would simply disappear completely, but it was possible that they would vanish for a period of time.
"Where is Ruoxue now? Don't tell me she's at your headquarters."
Lin Xueyi's words seemed nonsensical, but Chunlan and Qiuju understood them perfectly: "Miss, the Valley Master is waiting for you in the Valley of Relief from Worries."
The Valley of Relief from Worries is a nice name. It must be a place she went to with Ge Xinyao before. The location is well chosen, but it's a bit far from Lianfeng City.
Walking back from here, and then returning from the city to here, when I saw Ruoxue again, it was already getting dark. In the small pavilion where I had been before, under the dim light, a woman in red with long hair sat gracefully, holding a wine cup in her hand, facing me from afar.
"Hmph, showing off again. She's clearly a mature woman, why does she have to act cool for no reason?"
Lin Xueyi expressed her envy of Ruoxue's handsome appearance, saying that at her age and height, coupled with her cute looks, it would be difficult for her to look handsome. Even when she wore men's clothing, she was seen as an adorable little boy.
Upon hearing these sarcastic words, Chunlan and Qiuju turned their faces away, completely adopting an expression of "I know nothing and I didn't hear anything."
Seeing the two women beside her like this, Lin Xueyi puffed out her cheeks before walking towards Mo Ningyan.
Seeing her little maid walking towards her, Mo Ningyan could no longer sit still. Seeing that the servants she had brought had all wisely chosen to leave, she instantly landed beside Lin Xueyi.
I gently held her in my arms, letting her little head rest against my full breasts. I could hear her making soft, whimpering sounds.
"Are you trying to suffocate me?"
Having finally managed to break free, Lin Xueyi glared at the hateful woman with annoyance. However, under the bright moon and sparse stars, the two finally had a chance to be alone together after their long separation.
Main text: Chapter 253 Luo Qing's Anxiety
The night passed quickly. Although Ge Xinyao was worried about Lin Xueyi, she was somewhat relieved to see that Lin Xueyi had returned before midnight. At least that Valley Master Mo hadn't acted like a beast and tried to harm Lin Xueyi yet.
However, because it was dark and the lights were dim, she didn't see Lin Xueyi's slightly swollen lips. Of course, this was also because Lin Xueyi deliberately hid them so that she didn't notice them.
Lin Xueyi secretly hid in her room, extremely dissatisfied with her previous dismal performance. Although she didn't have much practical experience, she had watched countless films. How could she have been defeated by her opponent in this real-life situation?
Under the moonlight, they only talked about business for a few minutes, and then the two of them began to communicate with each other through their lips and teeth, discussing things in the palm of their hands. Then she was completely defeated, and in the end, her whole body went limp as the woman miraculously restored her health, and as a result, she really did lose her virginity.
In the end, she was quietly carried back to the front door. If she hadn't noticed that Ge Xinyao was waiting for her inside, she probably would have been carried inside by Mo Ningyan.
Looking at the large white jade plate outside, for some reason, I stretched out my right hand and reached out to grab at the air. Hmm, it seems that all the white jade plates I've encountered today are quite large.
As for what exactly happened that night, well, the author would dare to write it, but wouldn't dare to publish it, after all, I'm a writer from the heart.
Meanwhile, one of them, slightly excited, gradually drifted off to sleep, while the other, relaxed after seeing Lin Xueyi return, also gradually fell asleep.
