Chapter 581 - 469: Seduction

"Sister, I’m going out of the city for a day today, I’ll be back tomorrow. Would you like to come with me?"

"No, I’ve just arrived at Tiankui, it’s not convenient to travel," Sun Youwei said. That’s the struggle of being a woman, there’s always those few days each month.

"Then rest well at home, keep warm, and don’t go to the medical hall." Lin Miao nodded. In this condition, it’s not convenient to either ride a horse or take a carriage.

Although going out of the city isn’t very far, it takes a lot of time to go back and forth.

Better to wait until the spring blossoms, then take you, Sister, on a trip for some spring outing. We still need to go pay respects at the Master’s grave this year, just the right opportunity to visit Longchuan Canyon.

"Okay, then I’ll leave Lianxin at home. With both of us gone, someone should stay to protect you," Lin Miao said.

"Alright."

With Lianxin at home, Lin Miao felt more at ease. Lianxin was not only calm and reliable but also able to take charge of the situation, while Liansuo, being less restrained and more pure-minded, was better suited as a lifestyle assistant and bodyguard.

He didn’t know what secret Situ Wan wanted to tell him, which reminded Lin Miao of the box he found at the bottom of the Master’s family chest, and the signet ring inside.

He had studied the ring later on and inquired indirectly with the Sister, but to no avail.

The Master had hidden it, not letting either him or his sister know, which clearly indicated its importance.

Could it be that Situ Wan came for this ring? It wasn’t impossible. Otherwise, why had she been lurking around him and the Sister for so long, and why suddenly reveal her identity now?

If they really let her go, then he and the Sister would be in danger. Wen Dao Sect was not like the Green Blade Sect, it wasn’t something he could contend with at this point.

Unless he "returned" to the Moon Worship Sect, in this world, there were five top-level sects: Wen Dao Sect, Spirit Sword Sect, Snow Mountain Sect, and the Moon Worship Sect, along with the Witch God Hall of the Southern Border.

Not counting the Witch God Hall of the Southern Border, those folks just cling to their small territory, with limited communication with the outside world, only known for their mysterious methods and abundance of experts.

The Moon Worship Sect, also known as Demon Sect, had a good relationship with the Witch God Hall since they were both in the south. One of the four attendants of the Moon Palace young lord was related to the Southern Border and even had the surname Wu, indicating the exceptional relationship between the two.

In fact, in Nanyue, the reputation of the Moon Worship Sect wasn’t bad at all.

However, Da Li was the orthodox regime, and Nanyue had never been incorporated under the central dynasty’s jurisdiction, so naturally, Nanyue’s martial sects were in a hostile relationship.

The five top-level sects could be regarded as the five sacred lands of martial arts, also divided into the top three sects and the bottom two sects.

The top three were Wen Dao Sect, Moon Worship Sect, and Witch God Hall. The bottom two were Snow Mountain Sect and Spirit Sword Sect, with Snow Mountain Sect being at the bottom.

As for the first-class sects, they were numerous and frequently changing, easily numbering twenty or thirty. Including those with the influence of first-class sects, there would be even more.

This was the martial world, and including official forces, the supreme powers also included the Da Li royal family, Nanyue royal family, and the Beihu priesthood.

There’s also the East Sea remnants, the South Sea Mermaid Clan, and the Beihai Clan!

Yes, this world even had a Mermaid Clan, but they couldn’t survive away from seawater, so it was incredibly difficult to meet them. Although they exchanged goods with humans, they remained highly wary and completely distrustful of humans.

At sea, they were dominant. If not for their low population, they might have come ashore long ago.

Mermaids could crossbreed with humans, indicating their genes were the same, just mutated.

Otherwise, there would be reproductive isolation.

The western continent’s barbaric lands don’t count!

This world is vast, and he’s only seen the tip of the iceberg.

Therefore, you can’t underestimate the people of the world. There are numerous secrets in this world that even the Sect Leader of Wen Dao Sect, standing at the pinnacle of this world, might not be able to explain clearly.

Travel light.

Lin Miao and Lianxin slightly changed their appearance and rode out of the city.

His name was now quite well-known, and he could encounter acquaintances anywhere. So, it was better to keep a low profile, especially since leaving the city didn’t require checks.

They arrived at Miao Manor.

Entered directly through the main entrance.

The guards at the gate had obviously been instructed in advance.

Yue Mei’Er was also eagerly looking forward to his arrival. Today, she wore a low-cut dress that revealed her collarbone. Seeing Lin Miao, she lifted her skirt and trotted over.

"Young Lord, Mei’Er missed you terribly." Yue Mei’Er threw herself into Lin Miao’s arms without a hint of shyness.

This kind of gesture could only be done so unabashedly by Yue Mei’Er. Others had to maintain at least a modicum of restraint.

Upon entering the house, Yue Mei’Er pouted her lips, asking for a kiss.

As a man, Lin Miao naturally wouldn’t refuse such a blessing. He immediately leaned down to kiss those eager lips.

"Young Lord, Mei’Er wants to..."

"Tend to business first, there’s plenty of time later." Lin Miao chuckled and gave her a playful slap on her firm rear.

"Alright then, but promise this evening you’ll really let Mei’Er be satisfied?" Yue Mei’Er’s eyes shimmered with allure, overflowing with misty desire.

"I’m afraid you won’t be able to hold your pleas for mercy!"

"Isn’t Lianxin sister here too..."

Lianxin happened to enter from outside and nearly slipped upon hearing this. What a shameless vixen, casually blurting such words out! Who’s with you!

"Tell me about how Situ Wan has been these days with you?" Lin Miao said seriously. He didn’t come to Miao Manor just for a visit but had serious business to attend to.
