Chapter 100

"Should we go check out that diary owner?"

"You want to go? Aren't you afraid he'll capture you to warm his bed?"

"Hmph, he dares! If he dares force me, I'll sneak up in the middle of the night and give him a 'Snow Falling to the Human World' down there!"

"... Truly a good idea."

At the same time, Jiang Sishui also claimed today's reward.

It was still 1000 Martial Arts experience and 1 "Ji's Art Pill".

Putting away the diary, Jiang Sishui stood up and went out.

Seeing the women again, Jiang Sishui always felt their gazes at him were somewhat strange.

As if they were looking at a... big bad wolf?

Jiang Sishui's heart skipped a beat; he didn't know what these grandmas had said together. Could the backyard be catching fire?

Fortunately, the worst didn't happen. After chatting with the women for a while, everyone, feeling somewhat tired, went to rest separately.

Huang Rong had just arrived. Jiang Sishui originally planned to lay low for these two days, but after tossing and turning in bed for a while, he not only failed to calm down, but his heart grew even more fiery.

Finally, Jiang Sishui couldn't hold back and slipped into Zhao Qiying's room again.

Zhao Qiying was startled, whispering, "Brother Jiang, you... why are you here again? They aren't far away; they'll hear."

"I know." Jiang Sishui's eyes burned hot, staring straight at Zhao Qiying.

The girl's words not only didn't make him retreat, but instead spontaneously aroused a different kind of thrill in him.

"Then you... you still..."

"Qiying, can you hold back, right?"

"Hold back what? I... ah... um..."

Zhao Qiying could clearly feel Jiang Sishui's excitement. Just as she was about to break down, a hand covered her mouth in time.

Afterwards, under Zhao Qiying's pleas, the two moved their position.

Until they reached a secluded pine forest, seeing no one around, the pent-up emotions she had held for a long time finally poured out from her fragrant mouth.

However, what they didn't know was that Huang Rong had long sensed Zhao Qiying's change of location through the "Kunji Seal".

Combining this timing, she easily guessed what was happening in the dark.

"Hmph, this philandering bastard!"

Huang Rong was so angry her small face turned red, her teeth itching.

These two actually secretly... secretly... right under her nose!

Suddenly, in her shame and anger, Huang Rong let out a soft "Eh?": "This is... Mother?"

In a casual glance just now, she actually sensed Feng Heng's location on the "Kunji Seal".

This never happened before!

Doesn't this mean her mother also has a diary copy?

"Mother didn't have it before, but suddenly has it now. What is the reason?"

"Ah, I see. Before, he must have thought Mother was no longer alive, and in 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes', Mother only existed in others' memories. He likely didn't have a deep impression of Mother, so the favorability wasn't enough."

"Today, seeing me and Mother, loving the house and the crow, he must have raised the favorability, right?"

Huang Rong felt she had found a suitable reason.

"This is good too. With the protection of the 'Kunji Seal' in the future, even if Father isn't by her side, Mother will be very safe."

Although she knew Huang Yaoshi might not have true feelings for Feng Heng, as a child, what could she do?

This matter cannot be spoken of openly; otherwise, everyone would be embarrassed, and it might even have the opposite effect.

What Huang Rong could do was leave a world of two for her parents, not acting as that "third wheel".

However, Huang Rong also knew that Huang Yaoshi went out alone for a period every year, and once out, it was for several months.

Before, on Taohuadao, Feng Heng had Huang Rong as company. Now that Huang Rong is gone, only Feng Heng remains on the island.

This is very unsafe.

Fortunately, now that Feng Heng has a diary copy, all hidden dangers will be resolved.

As for Jiang Sishui's favorability towards Feng Heng reaching "Eight"—Like, Huang Rong didn't think much of it.

Just as Feng Heng thought at the beginning, she also felt this "Like" was not that "Like".

After all, in her subconscious cognition, if Jiang Sishui were to marry her, then her mother would be his mother-in-law; how could there be any improper thoughts?

Early the next morning, Zhao Qiying dragged her somewhat tired body up.

Seeing the meaningful gazes of the women, she immediately realized that last night's matter was not so unknown to all.

In an instant, with Zhao Qiying's bold nature, she also blushed all over her face with shame.

Facing Zhao Qiying's reproachful gaze, Jiang Sishui played dumb, pretending not to know, but actually felt a thrill deep in his heart.

After having breakfast as usual, Jiang Sishui led the six fine horses Su Suxinghe had prepared, and the group went straight down Leigu Mountain, heading for Taihu Man'uo Shanzhuang.

All the way joking and playing, Jiang Sishui even intentionally offered to pass the "Northern Nether Divine Art" to them.

However, upon learning the cultivation requirements of the "Northern Nether Divine Art", Huang Rong directly gave up.

Because she felt she couldn't forget other Wu Gong and couldn't enter the door.

Zhao Qiying didn't practice it either.

Because she felt her father Zhao Tianhao wouldn't want her to learn a Wu Gong that harms others for self-benefit, even though the "Northern Nether Divine Art" is an orthodox Daoist technique, not an evil art.

Regarding this, Jiang Sishui didn't press the matter, and distributed the "Ji's Art Pills" he had obtained a couple days ago, giving each person one.

As for Wang Yuyan and Ah Zhu, they took up the "Northern Nether Divine Art," which required no pill assistance.

And while the group was traveling...

Qingzhou, Lingxiao City.

The Xueshan Sect received three guests today: precisely Shi Qing and Min Rou, the husband and wife of Xuansu Manor, along with their son Shi Zhongyu.

Because Shi Zhongyu had been pampered since childhood, with his parents doting on him excessively, he had developed a dissolute temperament—arrogant, rude, cruel, and coarse in conduct.

Every time Shi Qing wanted to discipline him harshly, Min Rou, though knowing full well it was wrong, still couldn't bear it in her heart and thwarted him again and again.

Shi Qing doted on his wife and was helpless.

Seeing his mother as his backing, Shi Zhongyu escalated further, showing no sign of repentance.

Seeing that Shi Zhongyu was only growing older yet still the same, Shi Qing could sit still no longer.

After Shi Qing laid out the pros and cons to Min Rou, she finally hardened her heart, and the two decided to send Shi Zhongyu to the Xueshan Sect, letting others discipline their worthless son in their place.

If Shi Zhongyu did something wrong, however the Xueshan Sect chose to punish him, they wouldn't have to watch, and Min Rou wouldn't need to be so soft-hearted.

Xuansu Manor was located in Suzhou, and there was a reason they had to travel all the way to the Xueshan Sect in Qingzhou to apprentice under a master.

First, the Xueshan Sect's "Wind Fire Divine Dragon" Feng Wanli and Shi Qing were old acquaintances.

With this connection, Shi Zhongyu's entry into the Xueshan Sect would not be difficult.

Moreover, with Feng Wanli keeping an eye on things, if Shi Zhongyu erred in the future, the punishment he received would not be overly severe or harsh.

Second, it was to cut off Shi Zhongyu's wandering thoughts and make him stay obedient at the Xueshan Sect.

After all, the old home at Xuansu Manor was tens of thousands of li from the Xueshan Sect; even if Shi Zhongyu wanted to run away, he wouldn't dare plunge alone into the chaotic jianghu.

With these considerations, Shi Qing and Min Rou traveled ten thousand li to deliver their son for apprenticeship.

Several days prior, the three had already sent a visiting card, so they entered Lingxiao City smoothly.

The Sect Master Bai Zizai was in closed-door cultivation, so the Sect Master's son Bai Wanjian and his senior brother Feng Wanli hosted the guests.

The guest reception hall.

Bai Axiu quietly hid in a corner, her gaze sweeping once around the hall before finally locking onto a young man standing behind Shi Qing and Min Rou.

Talented and refined, gentle as jade.
