Chapter 391: Chapter 357: Huichun Hall
Does the junior brother have such skills?
However, Sun Youwei is also an exceptionally intelligent person; with a quick turn of thought, she immediately understood the junior brother’s mystical qualities.
Isn’t she herself one of the direct beneficiaries?
If it weren’t for the junior brother, could she have survived such a desperate situation, now completely free of illness, and possess an inner energy cultivation that ordinary people can’t reach?
How many people at her age dream of having such inner energy cultivation, although she’s not very adept at using it.
But with this inner energy, she can now withstand cold and heat, which would have made it impossible for her to leave the indoor under such weather in the past.
Now she can freely go outside, without caring about the cold and warmth, and her physical condition is better than ever.
Who brought all of this?
The junior brother.
The junior brother gave her new life, and he’s her future husband, the man who will accompany her for a lifetime. Except for his flirtatiousness and fondness for attracting women, everything about him is so perfect that it feels almost unreal.
The junior brother loves her, cares for her, holds her dearly, and even teaches her medical skills unmatched by what her father has learned all his life.
He couldn’t have learned this elsewhere, after all, they’ve lived together for ten years since he arrived at the Sun Family as a six-year-old child.
So, there’s only one possibility: the junior brother has awakened "innate wisdom," possessing the memories of a highly skilled medicine practitioner from a previous life.
These memories might also have had some impact on his character, such as making him more composed and deliberate...
"Junior brother, Mr. Baili wants you to marry Baili Yuyao, does that mean..."
"Senior sister, don’t overthink it. You are Lin Miao’s main wife, and no one can change that." Lin Miao said, "Besides, the embroidery house demands an arranged marriage, how could I possibly agree to it? This concerns my principles, even if Mr. Baili genuinely proposed that, then let it be an all-out war."
"Then how will the junior brother marry Baili Yuyao?"
"She wants me to enter the embroidery house with a different identity. Anyway, if the outside world knows there’s such a person, that’s enough." Lin Miao explained.
"So that’s how it is. It’s not a bad thing for you, junior brother, and you even get a wife for free?" Sun Youwei couldn’t help but chuckle.
"Senior sister, it’s not as simple as getting a wife for free. Even if I change identities to enter the embroidery house, it means I’m tied to the embroidery house. If anything happens in the future, I can’t just stand by, also with internal and external threats, she’s dragging me into this situation." Lin Miao said.
Sun Youwei indeed hadn’t considered so much and felt worried after hearing Lin Miao’s words: "Junior brother, what do you plan to do?"
"Take it step by step. We’re not confirmed yet, so there’s still room for maneuver." Lin Miao said.
"Actually, Yuyao isn’t bad either, a bit straightforward and a bit temperamental, but otherwise she’s fine." Sun Youwei said.
"Don’t worry about this, senior sister. I have my own way of dealing with it." Lin Miao said, "Your task is to sleep soundly and tomorrow morning, I’ll take you skiing."
"Skiing?"
"Yes, I heard there’s a ski resort in Li Hen City that’s really fun. You haven’t skied before, have you? You’ll find out then." Lin Miao said.
"Alright."
...
Lin Miao returned to the room and took out the mysterious note he received at the Celestial Essence Banquet, opening it under the lamp.
"Mr. Lin: If you want to know where your master’s medical order is, meet at Huichun Hall on West Six Street tomorrow."
Huichun Hall?
Lin Miao carefully recalled that Si Miaoxue had given him detailed information on various forces within Li Hen City.
It seems Huichun Hall was one of them.
Yet Huichun Hall seemed categorized as third-rate, which meant it had at least a ten-year history and some notoriety in Li Hen City, generally self-employed but able to maintain its independence from being annexed.
The Hall Master’s surname is Dongguo, and he likes people to call him "Mr. Dongguo;" not many know his true name.
He’s also a physician, but dealing with more obscure cases. His business isn’t particularly good nor bad If it were good, he’d have been well-known already.
Retrieved a map of Li Hen City.
Lin Miao quickly found the location of West Six Street amongst the complex alleys of West City, where "Huichun Hall" was located and marked, making it easy to find.
Since this person mentioned the master’s "medical order," he naturally knows his identity and the purpose of coming to Li Hen City.
Although the note didn’t specify whether he should go alone, he thought it best not to bring the senior sister along.
Tomorrow is perfect for going to the West City Ski Resort.
By then, he would discreetly find an excuse to leave the place briefly and have Lianxin and Liansuo watch over the senior sister, which was probably not problematic.
The ski resort is not far from West Six Street, so he can make the trip quickly.
"Master?"
"Lianxin is back; come in."
...
Bihai Tower.
"Second Uncle, what does Baili Bingyun mean? I’ve already agreed to marry into the Embroidery Hall, so why is she still not consenting to my marriage with Yuyao?" Shen An was furious.
"Xiaoan, I’ve heard the internal conflicts in the Embroidery Hall are quite tense. Baili Bingyun couldn’t suppress them a while ago. If she hadn’t suddenly advanced to the Celestial Essence Realm, I’m afraid the one in charge wouldn’t necessarily be her now." Shen Hao said.
"Are you talking about Zhuang Rong? Does she have the ability to overthrow Baili Bingyun and take control of the Embroidery Hall?"
"Zhuang Rong’s son, Zhuang Cheng, has always wanted to marry Baili Yuyao. That’s probably why she’s hesitant to agree so easily, right?"
"Second Uncle, do you think Baili Bingyun is trying to use us to deal with Zhuang Rong?" Shen An asked.
"It’s not impossible," Shen Hao replied. "Marrying Baili Yuyao would be great, but if not, it’s no big deal. Xiaoan, there are plenty of beautiful women in the world. Why be so fixated on one Baili Yuyao?"
"Second Uncle, I don’t necessarily want to marry her; I just want to have her. Anyway, once I’ve had enough, who cares who she ends up with?"
"You brat, but Baili Yuyao won’t let you succeed easily. How do you plan to proceed?"
"Tomorrow, I’ve arranged to meet her at the ski resort in West City, and then there will be an opportunity," Shen An chuckled.
"She agreed to meet you?" Shen Hao was surprised. With such recent conflicts and tensions, Baili Yuyao is willing to meet?
"I had someone convey a message, and she agreed anyhow."
"Be careful. Baili Yuyao is a rose with thorns. Others might not enjoy it, but they end up hurt." Shen Hao advised.
"Second Uncle, remember that woman we met at Songcui Tower?" Shen An revealed a sly smile.
"What, you’ve seen her again?"
"Tonight at the Celestial Essence Banquet, she was sitting in the third table on the left in the fourth row behind us, with that young man." Shen An stated.
"The first six rows require invitations, so this young man must have some status. Have you found out their identities?"
"Of course, Second Uncle. I’ve been in Li Hen City for several months now, so I’ve got my connections." Shen An said. "The man is named Lin Miao from Dongshan Prefecture. The woman is his fiancée, seems her surname is Sun. They are a group of five or six people, all staying at Snow Mountain Residence."
"Lin Miao, how come this name sounds familiar..." Shen Hao’s mind sparked as he lowered his brow in thought.
"He seems to be a physician!"
"Physician, surname Lin!" An idea flashed in Shen Hao’s mind.
"Second Uncle, what’s up? You know this person?"
"He’s an old acquaintance of our Green Blade Sect, to say the least. The sect has quite a history of grievances with him, and I didn’t expect to encounter him in Li Hen City." Shen Hao stated.
"Second Uncle, what’s the story?" Though Shen An was the sect’s young master, he wasn’t too familiar with Green Blade Sect’s issues, especially external ones.
"Our Green Blade Sect collaborates with Marquis Lingyang’s mansion, and this Lin Miao opposed them in Dongshan Prefecture..."
Shen Hao naturally wouldn’t tell Shen An about Green Blade Sect’s initial provocations, nor about how they plotted to frame Lin Miao and put him to death after failing. He would only say that everything was Lin Miao opposing Marquis Lingyang’s mansion, which caused sect members to be imprisoned, etc...
In any case, the wrong wasn’t on Green Blade Sect; Lin Miao was at fault. Why didn’t he offer his neck willingly when Green Blade Sect tried to deal with him and kill him?
"Damned, this guy turns out to be our Green Blade Sect’s enemy, which makes it even more reasonable. That young Miss Sun, I fancy her; I want to humiliate him in front of her!" Shen An’s neck turned red, veins popping.
"Xiaoan, you’re likely not his opponent. Last night’s news was that Lin Miao fought the Black-robed Vajra of the Skull Association to a draw."
"What?" Shen An changed his expression upon hearing that. The Black-robed Vajra was a middle-grade Meridian Passage Realm, but he wasn’t even in the Meridian Passage Realm yet!
"No worries, isn’t there still Second Uncle?" Shen Hao chuckled. Shen Hao had no son and always regarded Shen An as his own. Whatever Shen Hao wanted, he tried to fulfill for him.
Shen Hao was at the Upper Grade Meridian Passage Realm.
Shen An was overjoyed to hear this: "With Second Uncle acting, there will naturally be no problem."
"However, they must leave Snow Mountain Residence for it to work. I can’t handle that old woman Helian Wanwan over there..."
"No problem, I’ve got a Knife Slave watching Snow Mountain Residence. Any news will be reported to me immediately." Shen An said.
"Alright, give me the news."
...
"This fellow is sneaky, likely targeting Mr. Lin. I brought him here; how would you like to handle it?" Early the next morning, Helian Wanwan knocked on Lin Miao’s door, holding a person.
Lin Miao looked at the young man on the ground stubbornly.
"He’s been crouching outside Snow Mountain Residence for a day and night. Good at hiding; he almost tricked me, but I found out. His target is you, but you still didn’t notice." Helian Wanwan said. "You won’t blame me for meddling, right?"
"Mr. Helian, might you be mistaken? He’s just a teenager; how malicious can he be towards me?" Lin Miao’s eyelids twitched.
"No, what’s wrong with you? This brat has been following you guys in and out continuously. You’re still speaking for him?"
"Alright then, since Mr. Helian believes he’s up to no good, let’s lock him up first, and interrogate after we return from the West City ski resort today, shall we?" Lin Miao suggested.
"That seems reasonable." Helian Wanwan nodded.
Liansuo came in, taking away the "Knife Slave," but Lin Miao stopped Helian Wanwan: "Mr. Helian, please stay, I have something to discuss with you."
