Chapter 588 - 471: Two Cities Conquered in Succession (Part 3)

"Young Master, how should we handle Situ Wan? Are you really planning to set her free?" Yue Mei’Er asked quietly, frowning slightly.

"I don’t have the habit of keeping my own women locked up."

"Aren’t you afraid that once she’s free, she’ll go straight to Youwei and tell her about your affairs with her?"

"If she goes to Youwei and tells her about this, it saves me the trouble of explaining." Lin Miao replied, "Anyway, I didn’t plan to hide it from Youwei."

"I’m afraid there aren’t enough rooms in Lin Mansion. Yurou needs one room, and Situ Wan needs another one. Should we buy the house next door and expand?"

"Is that necessary?"

"Moreover, Dongshan City is our first home; even if we go to the capital in the future, we’ll still want to come back, right?"

"We might as well tear down this manor and rebuild it. Honestly, living outside the city is better—with mountains and rivers, it’s quite nice!"

"The Xue Family Manor isn’t bad; its Feng Shui is better than ours. After the court seized it, it’ll probably sell for a low price. Why don’t we buy it in Miaoxue’s name? Anyway, the buildings there were damaged in the battle, and it would be perfect for a rebuild." Yue Mei’Er suggested.

"That’s a good idea. Let’s find someone to design it later on, and in the future, it will also be a place for our family to go for outings and summer retreats."

"Alright, then I’ll discuss it with Miaoxue, move some money from the public account. There’s no point in leaving the money sitting on the books unspent."

"You submit a report, I’ll approve it, and consult Lianxin for the funds."

"Young Master, are you really planning to let Lianxin manage the accounts?"

"Yes."

"Fei’Er and I have some sisters and subordinates in the Yue Palace. I want to take this opportunity to bring them over. What do you think, Young Master?"

"Are they trustworthy?"

"Of course, I wouldn’t dare bring over those with ulterior motives."

"Then let them come, but still, keep an eye on them. The human heart is the hardest to predict." Lin Miao said.

"Don’t worry, the Young Master’s identity and the core secrets will not be revealed, not even a word."

"The Profound Armor Army is a good thing, but using drugs to control minds and stimulate potential is too much of a heavenly technique for us to use. However, we can learn from their armor and battle formation training; it could be useful for Qilin Castle."

"The drugs for control and potential stimulation used by the Profound Armor Army all come from Carefree Hall, and the training methods are too cruel. To reach that perverse level, it’s probably not feasible..." Yue Mei’Er wasn’t just a pretty face who knew how to please men; she had genuine talent and knowledge. Otherwise, the Yue wouldn’t have recommended her as a replacement for one of Si Miaoxue’s four attendants.

"No matter, the key is how to recruit personnel."

"We can recruit guards from refugees, and we can buy some from the slaves in Li Hen City. Refugees and slaves are the least valuable. As long as we feed them and give them a place to live, they’ll be utterly devoted and loyal to you." Yue Mei’Er said.

"Alright, do as you suggest." Lin Miao nodded, "What about the situation with the Blood Fiend?"

"The living dead situation isn’t too optimistic. That Mr. Dongguo is now being used as a test subject, and he’s given pills, effective or not, one after another."

"What, this is nonsense. Didn’t you stop it?"

"Young Master, it’s already like that, what else can be done? You brought him back, how could you have known he wouldn’t wake up?" Yue Mei’Er said.

"Forget it. I’ll go take a look myself after dawn. I still want to know from his mouth the identity of the master who saved him at Cloud-Riding Ridge!"
