192: Nangong Ruoshui visits

While Ye Jingling was deep in thought, she saw the room door gently open, and a graceful figure walked out from inside.

Seeing this, Ye Jingling couldn't help but look delighted. She quickly focused her eyes and asked, "Qiu Ye, did you succeed?!"

That's right!

The person who came out was none other than Qiu Ye!

Hearing this, Qiu Ye's face flushed slightly, but her eyes involuntarily held a hint of a smile.

Ye Jingling's eyes widened, and her heart pounded. She rushed forward, grabbed her, and asked, "Qiu Ye, speak up, did you succeed?"

Qiu Ye nodded slightly, "We succeeded. Young Master has already acknowledged us!"

Hearing this, Ye Jingling's eyes widened in surprise. Had even the form of address changed?

She quickly asked, "Really? Tell me quickly, what method did you use?"

Hearing this, Qiu Ye pulled Ye Jingling closer and whispered, "I need to go prepare the washing water for Young Master first. I'll tell you later!"

"Alright!"

Hearing this, Ye Jingling quickly nodded.

Watching Qiu Ye leave, Ye Jingling fell into thought, her expression slightly complicated, mixing anticipation with nervousness, and curiosity with astonishment.

But then, she seemed to notice something and couldn't help but wonder, "Looking at Qiu Ye's gait, something seems off. Could it be..."

"If it really was that kind of method, can I still use it?"

"No, wait!"

"This must have happened after the success. Otherwise, it's hard to explain why I was rejected yesterday. After all, having this happen while attending to his bath should have been natural and logical!"

Ye Jingling shook her head slightly, her face involuntarily flushing a little, but she didn't dwell on it.

From the moment she decided to follow Nangong Yu and latch onto this powerful figure, she had already accepted that kind of thing.

She was willing to become his servant and subordinate; why would she be unwilling to do that?

Of course, perhaps it was also because Nangong Yu fit her aesthetic preferences and pleased her heart.

Otherwise, wanting her to do that sort of thing?

Impossible!

Ye Jingling narrowed her eyes slightly. Thinking that she might share intimacy with Nangong Yu, her pretty face couldn't help but blush.

"They're a bunch of old cows!"

She muttered softly, then turned and quickly departed.

Since she now knew that Qiu Ye and the others had succeeded, she ought to go down and arrange the matters of the manor.

As for the main topic, she would ask Qiu Ye and the others after arranging the manor matters... Inside the Main Residence.

Nangong Yu stretched lazily, glanced at Chun Zhi and the others, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

He sighed inwardly: Fourteen years of time, and finally, he had shed the status of a Virgin Male. Now, he was a man!

"Young Master, Servant Girl will attend to your change of clothes!"

Chun Zhi quickly stood up and spoke, paying no mind to her own state, thinking first of Nangong Yu.

Seeing this, Xia He and Dong Xue also quickly got up to help, not daring to be slow.

Although Nangong Yu had now acknowledged them, and... even permitted them to use a more intimate address, this was no reason for them to think highly of themselves!

Never mind merely being acknowledged; even if one day Nangong Yu recognized them as his women, they still couldn't think highly of themselves!

Nangong Yu blinked, smiled faintly, and did not refuse.

As for whether the sight of exposed beauty would affect his dressing, that was entirely overthinking things.

Although he had thoughts, he wouldn't easily act upon them. If he couldn't control such minor desires, then he might as well discard his Cultivation.

He liked beauty, but that didn't mean he would indulge in it excessively. These were two different concepts!

A moment later, Nangong Yu was fully dressed.

After washing up, attended by Qiu Ye, Nangong Yu then arrived at the Front Courtyard.

At this time, Bai Qiqi was already awake and sitting leisurely in the courtyard.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, did you rest well last night?"

Bai Qiqi stood up and smiled, saying, "Very well, thank you, Fellow Daoist Nangong, for your concern!"

"That's good. I was worried Fellow Daoist Bai might not be used to the accommodations!" Nangong Yu said with a smile.

"It's very good!"

While the two were chatting, Ye Jingling rushed over, "Princely Lord, the Grand Princess seeks an audience!"

"Sister Xue? She needs to be announced when she visits?"

Nangong Yu raised an eyebrow, confused. This wasn't like Nangong Ruoxue's style!

Ye Jingling quickly shook her head, saying, "Princely Lord, it's not Grand Princess Ruo Xue, but Grand Princess Ruoshui!"

Hearing this explanation, Nangong Yu was momentarily speechless.

He had forgotten that Nangong Ruoxue and Nangong Ruoshui were both Grand Princesses now.

"Please invite her in!"

"Understood!"

Ye Jingling acknowledged the order, turned, and quickly left.

Seeing the situation, Bai Qiqi said, "Fellow Daoist Nangong has a guest to receive. I shall excuse myself for now."

Hearing this, Nangong Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I haven't seen my Second Imperial Sister in many years. I don't know what she needs me for. Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist Bai."

"No matter!"

Bai Qiqi smiled slightly and shook her head.

Nangong Yu looked slightly apologetic and told Xia He nearby, "Xia He, please take Fellow Daoist Bai around the manor. Try your best to meet any requests Fellow Daoist Bai might have!"

"Yes, Young Master!"

Xia He agreed and looked at Bai Qiqi, saying, "Senior Bai, please follow me!"

As soon as the two left, Ye Jingling walked in, leading Nangong Ruoshui.

Nangong Yu smiled and stepped forward a few paces, saying, "What wind brings Second Imperial Sister all the way here?"

Nangong Ruoshui smiled slightly, "What's wrong? Judging by your tone, it seems Xiaoyu doesn't welcome me!"

"How could that be?"

Nangong Yu shook his head and chuckled, "It is my honor that Second Imperial Sister can visit my manor. How could Second Imperial Sister think that?"

Nangong Ruoshui smiled, then said seriously, "Alright, I won't joke with you anymore. I have something I want to talk to you about!"

Hearing this, Nangong Yu nodded slightly, raising his hand in a gesture, "Second Imperial Sister, let's go sit over there and talk."

"Mhm!"

Nangong Ruoshui nodded. The two arrived at the Pavilion and sat down, and Qiu Ye quickly poured tea for them.

Nangong Ruoshui glanced at Qiu Ye and the other two, then said, "Xiaoyu, this matter is somewhat private. Have them step out first."

Hearing this, Nangong Yu was slightly surprised. He then looked at Qiu Ye and the two others, saying, "Qiu Ye, you three go rest first, or you can go find Xia He."

"Yes, Young Master!"

The three nodded, turned, and left.

Seeing that the courtyard was empty, Nangong Yu looked at Nangong Ruoshui and asked, "Second Imperial Sister, can you tell me what the matter is now?"

Hearing this, Nangong Ruoshui took out a Formation Plate and placed it down, instantly setting up a Sixth-Rank Concealment Formation within the Pavilion.

Then, she looked pitifully at Nangong Yu, "Xiaoyu, Second Imperial Sister had no other choice but to come find you. You must help Second Imperial Sister!"

Hearing this, Nangong Yu blinked, looking surprised. He seemed to recall that his relationship with Nangong Ruoshui wasn't close enough for them to share everything, right?

To ask for help, why didn't she go to Nangong Jingqi or the Worship Hall, but instead came to him?
