Chapter 65: Young Master, the First Madam's Complexion is Not Normal! (Please Follow!)

Liu Qingmei stared at Ning Mu, instructing him word by word.

As she spoke, she took a stack of banknotes out of her sleeve pocket.

They were all one-thousand-tael notes, from Yantian Bank, valid in every kingdom!

In this world, there are sects and clans that have lasted a hundred years, imperial dynasties that have lasted a thousand, and naturally, there are also mysterious existences that have been passed down through generations, enduring without end.

And this Yantian Bank is one of them.

Behind Yantian Bank is a mysterious force called the Yantian Spirit Sect; no one knows how long it has been passed down, but ever since the Qi, Western Zhou, and Southern Chu were founded, the Yantian Spirit Sect has always existed.

This force is neither righteous nor evil, neither good nor wicked, and very few of its disciples travel abroad.

The world does not even know where their headquarters is located.

But the world knows that the Yantian Spirit Sect's banks are spread across almost the entire continent.

Including the North Wolf Royal Court, where the demon race is widespread and the wolf-barbarians rule; the mysterious and desolate Western Desolation Sixteen Kingdoms; the Dian Kingdom and Shu; East Sea Penglai; the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains, and so on.

They have a presence in almost all of them.

They almost control the important resources of this continent, holding the delicate balance of the economic scales, yet they do not excessively seize resources or squeeze out other merchants.

Even when various kingdoms issue currency, they must consult with the envoys sent by the Yantian Spirit Sect.

If the envoy does not nod, the royal family dares not act.

After all, the Yantian Spirit Sect overturning a kingdom is not something that has never happened in history.

It is rumored that before the Qi was founded, it had received help from the Yantian Spirit Sect, which is why it was able to be established smoothly; otherwise, the ruler of this kingdom now might not be the Jiang-surnamed royal family.

Some even rumor that they are the walking envoys of gods in this world.

And the cultivation methods for Dragon Blood Rice and Dragon Bone Fragrant Leaf are also rumored to have been taught to this vast world by the Yantian Spirit Sect.

Of course.

There is no lack of iron-blooded, daring bandits who set their sights on the Yantian Commercial Society.

There was once a case of extermination that shocked the various kingdoms, which was the work of the Yantian Spirit Sect.

Over a hundred years ago, there was a Sun Family in the southern border of the Zhou Kingdom; the Sun Family patriarch was powerful and fierce, suppressing all for a time, with unparalleled prestige, and it was rumored that he had already reached the peak of the Saint-Following Realm, which is above the Divine Origin Realm.

This was almost the highest combat power walking in the world!

Thus, the Sun Family gradually grew arrogant, setting their sights on the Yantian Commercial Society, and raided several of the Yantian Commercial Society's banks in the southern border of the Zhou Kingdom in succession, with the silver totaling a million.

This matter shocked the continent.

But good times did not last long.

In less than three months, the entire Sun Family suddenly died overnight, and that Sun Family patriarch at the peak of the Saint-Following Realm had his limbs broken and was air-dried in the wilderness, with no one daring to collect the bodies.

The million taels of silver vanished into thin air.

On the corpse of the Sun Family patriarch, eight large characters were carved into the skin with a blade.

"Yantian Spirit Sect, the Dao is not the ordinary Dao!"

Since then, for over a hundred years, no one has dared to offend the Yantian Spirit Sect.

Therefore, depositing real gold and silver into Yantian Bank is currently the safest and most direct measure, because no matter which city it is, they have a branch there.

Looking at the banknotes in his hand, Ning Mu nodded earnestly at Liu Qingmei and said firmly, "Master, rest assured; I won't say I can do more, but within three months, I will at least not lose these twenty-five thousand taels!"

……

When he returned home, night had already fallen.

Fortunately, the old driver's eyes were like lightning, with night vision as clear as day.

Liu Qingmei used the excuse of going out to handle important matters, and since her horse had already returned on its own, she naturally could not return to the Ye Family Residence tonight.

On the way back, taking advantage of the perfect night, the old driver could not help but provide another round of quite effective assistance.

It drew a series of coquettish rebukes and repeated pleas for mercy.

Upon entering the courtyard, Liu Qingmei, with a blushing face, barely said a word before being led respectfully by Chunzhi into the East Wing.

"Young Master, why do I feel that the First Madam's complexion is not quite normal?"

In the courtyard.

Xia Chan watched her sister come out of the East Wing, unable to suppress her curiosity, and tilted her head to ask, her pair of eyes appearing exceptionally bright in the night.

"Perhaps the old driver ran too fast, and the wind blew into her eyes," Ning Mu shrugged and said casually.

However, as he spoke, he placed his finger under his nose and sniffed lightly.

Hmm.

This milky scent is very authentic.

It really is original factory-made.

Seeing the Young Master's strange expression, a trace of confusion appeared in Xia Chan's eyes; is it really like that? But since the Young Master said so, it must be! Xia Chan rubbed the back of her head and said, "Young Master, dinner is all ready; should we eat now or?"

"Eat now, and send a portion to the Madam."

"Alright."

……

After finishing dinner, Ning Xiaoxiu brought over a recliner and placed it in the courtyard, then invited Ning Mu to come and sit down.

In the silent night sky, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

A bright moon hung high, accompanied by a few twinkling stars.

At this moment, this long-abandoned small courtyard was just like this sparse night sky, having recovered some vitality, and Ning Mu was like that crescent moon being surrounded.

The surrounding stars were like warblers and swallows, full of joy and laughter.

Ning Xiaoxiu was wearing a very subtle, near-transparent silk gauze, covering her youthful vitality, yet also carrying a few charms of her enchanting, curvaceous body.

At this moment, she was standing behind the recliner, diligently massaging her master's shoulders.

Beside them.

The maid Xia Chan carried a plate of after-dinner fruit, chatting idly with the young master, occasionally picking up a piece of washed and sliced fruit to feed him.

Chunzhi, meanwhile, was tidying up the room with Yuzan and Yuhuan.

As for Lao Zhangtou and two other servants, they lived in the outer courtyard.

【Prompt: Do you wish to learn "Secret Technique: Shuyin Mixuan Shou"?】

"Learn."

In an instant, Ning Mu felt a surge of brand-new knowledge enter his mind in a very strange way; after integrating it, he understood it perfectly.

Immediately.

He opened his eyes and reached out toward Xia Chan, who was holding the fruit plate and kneeling half-crouched beside him.

"Mmm~"

In a flash.

Xia Chan let out a soft moan, her once bright eyes instantly turning watery, alluring, and bewitchingly moving.

And that innocent face, reflected under the moonlight, gradually flushed with a hazy glow.

"Young Master... your hand seems to have some kind of magic..."

Xia Chan's voice was soft and weak, and she looked at Ning Mu with a pitiful expression; those watery, affectionate eyes clearly held a different kind of meaning now.

"What does it feel like?"

Ning Mu looked down at his hand and asked with a serious expression.

"Hmm..." Xia Chan frowned as she thought about it and said, "It's like I was suddenly numbed, but it's not exactly that kind of numbness; I can't quite describe it, but for that moment, my mind went completely blank."

Clamping her legs around the young master's hand, Xia Chan shifted restlessly.

This feeling became even more intense.

However, because her Cultivation Points were relatively high, she could withstand it.

Ning Mu raised an eyebrow; listening to Xia Chan's description, he pondered that since he had just learned this Secret Technique: Shuyin Mixuan Shou, his power was likely too weak to fully control her.

Once his proficiency increased, this secret technique would surely be able to achieve surprise in actual combat! In a duel between experts, a single moment of numbness or carelessness could determine life and death!

And this secret technique provided exactly that split-second advantage! 【You practiced Secret Technique: Shuyin Mixuan Shou, proficiency +1, current proficiency level: Beginner, please keep working hard!】
