“Ah…”
The next moment, a piercing scream, full of穿透力,erupted from Mu Qiqi’s lips and echoed through the air.
Ye Wushuang barked, “Stop screaming!”
“Why are you taking a bath!” Mu Qiqi immediately turned around, her face flushed red as she exclaimed.
Sitting calmly in the wooden tub, Ye Wushuang replied indifferently, “You didn’t knock. How is that my fault?”
Fortunately for Mu Qiqi, Ye Wushuang was seated in the tub, and she hadn’t seen anything inappropriate.
“Besides, you were the one who saw me. I’m the one who got the short end of the stick, don’t you think?” Ye Wushuang chuckled.
Mu Qiqi quickly explained, “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. “Inside these boxes are three types of first-grade spiritual pills. Have your father take one of each every ten days. At the very least, this will ensure that his injuries won’t worsen.”
“Once I’m able to refine third-grade spiritual pills, I’ll be able to completely eliminate the hidden dangers in your father’s body.”
The grade of a spiritual pill master is sometimes affected by one’s cultivation level. Although Ye Wushuang was currently at the Meridian Condensing Realm, refining second-grade spiritual pills was already a challenge. It wasn’t that his pill-refining skills were lacking, but rather that his cultivation level was too low to gather enough spiritual fire power. Refining second- and third-grade spiritual pills required a significant expenditure of the pill master’s mental energy, something that a cultivator at the early stage of the Meridian Condensing Realm simply couldn’t endure.
Mu Qiqi hastily caught the brocade boxes and said, “Thank you. You can continue your bath.”
With that, she hurriedly left.
Lying back in the tub, Ye Wushuang felt thoroughly relaxed.
“Ye Wushuang! Ye Wushuang, where are you?”
Before he could fully unwind, a familiar voice rang out again. At the bedroom door stood another graceful figure.
Before Ye Wushuang’s eyes was a young girl with bright, clear eyes that sparkled like stars. Her slender figure was clad in a light blue dress, with a sash around her waist that accentuated her delicate form.
At that moment, the girl looked at Ye Wushuang with great joy, her eyes curving into crescents as she smiled, as if her very spirit was overflowing.
“Ye Wushuang, you really… ah…”
The next moment, upon realizing the situation in the bedroom, the girl let out a scream that was just as piercing as Mu Qiqi’s.
“Stop screaming,” Ye Wushuang said with a helpless smile.
“Why… why didn’t you close the door while taking a bath!” The girl quickly covered her eyes, though she couldn’t help but peek through her fingers at Ye Wushuang.
“Why should it concern you that I didn’t close the door while taking a bath?” Ye Wushuang looked at the girl, feeling somewhat 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 Blue Cloud Academy earlier.
Qing Shiyu no longer covered her eyes but instead looked at Ye Wushuang openly, with a mischievous smile. “Right now, your name is on everyone’s lips in the capital. You’re quite famous, Ye Wushuang.”
“Famous or not…” Qing Shiyu continued, “I guess you don’t care.”
“However, that’s not why I came to find you.”
Qing Shiyu looked straight at Ye Wushuang and said, “You, teach me swordsmanship! How do I comprehend the seed of sword intent and reach the subtle sword intent realm? You must teach me!”
“Why should I teach you?”
“Are you going back on your word?” Qing Shiyu immediately retorted, “I helped prove your innocence. You… ungrateful!”
Ye Wushuang, however, just smiled and said, “Did I ever promise to teach you swordsmanship?”
“You…” Qing Shiyu was left speechless, looking quite anxious.
It seemed… she hadn’t actually promised.
“A man like me taking a bath, and you’re not even embarrassed. Get out already!” Ye Wushuang said, “If you can win my favor in the next few days, I might consider teaching you.”
“Really?”
“Yeah.”
Qing Shiyu immediately became excited. “It’s a deal. You better not go back on your word.”
Ye Wushuang was left speechless and said, “If you don’t leave now, I’m coming out!”
“Humph… I don’t even want to see you!”
“Then why are you still looking?”
Upon hearing this, Qing Shiyu stuck out her tongue and hurriedly left the room.
After closing the door, Qing Shiyu stood there, beaming with joy.
Inside the room, Ye Wushuang also smiled. Qing Shiyu was innocent and had a good character. Teasing this young girl was actually quite amusing.
At that moment, Xiao Yuan arrived with Ye Feifei. Seeing Qing Shiyu standing in front of Ye Wushuang’s door, they exchanged puzzled glances.
“Sister Shiyu, why are you standing 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 mouth, Qing Shiyu’s expression froze.
Xiao Yuan and Ye Feifei were even more stunned.
Taking a bath?
How did you know Ye Wushuang was taking a bath?
