“Ah……”
The next moment, a rather penetrating scream burst from Mu Qiqi’s lips and echoed around.
Ye Wushuang shouted, “Stop screaming!”
“Why are you taking a bath?” Mu Qiqi immediately turned around, her face turning bright red as she exclaimed.
Sitting calmly in the wooden tub, Ye Wushuang replied, “You didn’t knock. How can you blame me?”
Fortunately, Ye Wushuang was seated in the tub, so he hadn’t seen anything. Mu Qiqi’s face was flushed, but she quickly explained, “I was in such a hurry that I forgot to knock…”
“Besides, it’s you who saw me. I’m the one who’s at a disadvantage, right?” Ye Wushuang chuckled.
Mu Qiqi stammered, “I… I was just too anxious and forgot to knock…”
With a flick of his finger, Ye Wushuang sent several brocade boxes floating toward Mu Qiqi. “These contain three types of first-rank spiritual pills. Have your father take one of each every ten days. This will at least ensure that his condition won’t worsen.”
“Once I’m able to refine third-rank spiritual pills, I’ll help your father eliminate the hidden dangers completely.”
The rank of a spiritual pill master is sometimes influenced by one’s cultivation level. Currently, Ye Wushuang was only at the meridian-condensing stage. Refining second-rank spiritual pills was already challenging for him. It wasn’t because his pill-crafting skills were lacking, but rather because his cultivation level was too low to gather sufficient spiritual fire for the process.
Refining second-rank and third-rank spiritual pills was extremely taxing on a pill master’s mental and spiritual energy, something that a martial artist at the early meridian-condensing stage simply couldn’t endure.
Mu Qiqi quickly caught the brocade boxes and said, “Thanks. You can continue your bath.”
With that, she hurriedly left.
Lying back in the tub, Ye Wushuang felt utterly relaxed.
“Ye Wushuang! Ye Wushuang, where are you?”
However, just as Ye Wushuang began to unwind, a familiar voice rang out. At the bedroom door stood a graceful figure.
What met Ye Wushuang’s eyes was a young girl with a pair of bright, clear eyes that sparkled like stars. Her slender figure was clad in a light blue dress, with a matching silk sash around her tiny waist.
The girl looked at Ye Wushuang with great delight, her eyes curving into crescents as she smiled, as if her very spirit was overflowing.
“Ye Wushuang, you really… ah…”
But the next moment, upon seeing the scene in the bedroom, the girl let out a scream that was no less piercing than Mu Qiqi’s.
“Stop screaming,” Ye Wushuang said with a wry smile.
“Why… Why don’t you close the door when you bathe?” The girl quickly covered her eyes, though she peeked through her fingers at Ye Wushuang.
“Why should it matter to you if I don’t close the door when I bathe?” Ye Wushuang looked at the girl, feeling a bit annoyed. “Qing Shiyu, why are you here?”
The girl was none other than Qing Shiyu, who had returned to the capital with Tang Chuyi and the others from the Qingyun Academy earlier.
Qing Shiyu no longer covered her eyes but instead looked at Ye Wushuang boldly, with a mischievous smile. “Your name is on everyone’s lips in the capital now, Ye Wushuang. You’re quite famous.”
“Famous or not, I don’t really care,” Ye Wushuang replied indifferently.
“But that’s not why I came to find you,” Qing Shiyu said, her gaze fixed on Ye Wushuang. “You have to teach me swordsmanship! How do I comprehend the seed of sword intent and reach the subtle realm of sword intent? You must teach me!”
“Why should I teach you?”
“Do you want to go back on your word?” Qing Shiyu was indignant. “I helped prove your innocence. You… ungrateful!”
Ye Wushuang chuckled. “Did I ever agree to teach you swordsmanship?”
“You…” Qing Shiyu was left speechless, looking quite anxious. It seemed she hadn’t actually agreed to it.
“I’m a grown man taking a bath, and you’re not even embarrassed. Get out!” Ye Wushuang said. “If you can win my favor in the next few days, I might consider teaching you.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
Qing Shiyu became excited immediately. “It’s a promise. You mustn’t go back on your word.”
Ye Wushuang was speechless and said, “If you don’t leave now, I’ll come out!”
“Pfft… I don’t want to see you anyway!”
“Then why are you still looking?”
Hearing this, Qing Shiyu stuck out her tongue and hurriedly left the room. After closing the door, she stood outside, beaming with joy.
Inside the room, Ye Wushuang also smiled. Qing Shiyu had a pure heart and a good character. Teasing this young girl was quite entertaining.
At that moment, Xiao Yuan arrived with Ye Feifei. Seeing Qing Shiyu standing in front of Ye Wushuang’s door, they exchanged glances and were both taken aback.
“Sister Shiyu,
“Why are you in front of my brother’s door? What is he doing?” Ye Feifei asked curiously.
“Your brother?”
Qing Shiyu casually replied, “Your brother is taking a bath!”
However, as soon as the words left her lips, Qing Shiyu’s expression froze.
Xiao Yuan and Ye Feifei were even more stunned.
Taking a bath?
How did you know Ye Wushuang is taking a bath?
