You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 182 - 13. Four Symbols Heaven Barrier_2

Who doesn’t wish that one day, with their cultivation fully realized, they could chat and laugh with the person they’ve long admired in their heart, or even become, spiritual partners?

Baili Fengzhi gave an "oh" and asked, "Then, should I practice some Beauty Cultivation Method?"

She was half Fire Phoenix by blood and naturally wouldn’t age, with no need for techniques to maintain her youth.

"No need, you’re already very beautiful."

Lin Yue smiled and said, "I’ll have someone design a more attractive martial artist outfit for you later. Just don’t wear a mask. Once you showcase your talents in Ancestor Hall, your fame will soar. I’ll find someone to further boost your fame, and you’ll become a living signboard for my residence."

Half a year ago, when he had grasped the essence of True Martial Arts, he had already personally removed Baili Fengzhi’s mask and was naturally confident in her allure.

A mere beauty isn’t much of anything.

But a beauty with a story becomes a scarce resource.

"But..."

Baili Fengzhi couldn’t help but say, "Isn’t there too great a difference between how I look and my martial arts style?"

"This contrast actually makes you more memorable."

Lin Yue casually pointed to the plum blossoms in the snowy courtyard and said, "Look at those plum blossoms; they’re not particularly beautiful in themselves, but because they bloom amidst the bitter cold, with white snow as their backdrop, they are exceptionally stunning."

Baili Fengzhi pondered thoughtfully, "Your Highness knows so much. I’ve read those scrolls too but have never thought about these things."

Lin Yue just smiled and said nothing.

"In that case, Your Highness could do the same?"

Baili Fengzhi suddenly said, "Your Highness is also good-looking and a prince nonetheless. If you shine, you should also attract many Guest Elders, right?"

"This time, I’m afraid not." Lin Yue shook his head slightly, "Perhaps another time."

He had only been cultivating for just over a year and, unlike other geniuses from prestigious families who were built upon a foundation of Heaven and Earth Treasures since childhood, catching up would take some time.

"What about Yu Shiqi?" Baili Fengzhi said.

"The Tantian Sect doesn’t want her drawing too much attention."

Lin Yue said, "Haven’t you seen? During the time the Tantian Sect has been lurking in Di Hong City and gathering information for me, they didn’t dare to let Yu Shiqi stay at Duke Heng’s residence. It’s better this way; the stronger our hidden forces, the better."

"Yu Shiqi must be missing Your Highness." Baili Fengzhi said, "You promised to see her on the fifth day of each month."

"Pass on a message for me; we’ll change it to the ninth this time."

Lin Yue quickened his pace and said, "I’m busy cultivating right now and can’t spare the time; overcoming the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier is still very important to me."

...

Days passed, inching closer to the ninth of November.

Qinghu Inn.

On the morning of the ninth.

Another heavy snowfall the previous night left the courtyard deeply covered in snow, frosted all over, with only a few plum trees vying for beauty.

"Phew..."

A petite girl’s figure lightly skimmed over the snow without leaving a single footprint.

She quickly crossed the courtyard of Qinghu Inn and arrived at the door of the main house.

It was a young girl in a spirited white robe, with bright eyes and white teeth and a charming appearance.

Qi Family’s fifth young miss.

At that moment, there was a young woman with picturesque features sitting at the chair by the main house’s door, her complexion a bit pale, like a frail beauty amidst the swaying willows, wearing a white fox fur coat and a diadem with jade inlay, exuding an air of elegance and etherealness.

It was Qi Family’s eldest miss.

"Sister, it’s so cold. Why are you sitting outside?" The fifth young miss of the Qi Family couldn’t help but ask, "You’ve always been frail, and now you’re pregnant."

"I have a warm jade, it’s fine." The Qi Family’s eldest miss said expressionlessly.

"Oh."

The Qi Family’s fifth young miss cautiously glanced toward the tightly closed door, then nonchalantly asked, "What about brother-in-law? Today is the ninth; the Outer Hall examination is about to start. Isn’t he coming out?"

"He probably hasn’t broken through yet." The eldest miss of the Qi Family said indifferently, "I’m not sure myself. If you want to know, you can ask my husband’s trusted aide."

"Sister, you’re his wife and you don’t even have a guard who knows?" The fifth young miss of the Qi Family couldn’t help but say.

The Qi Family’s eldest miss shot her a glance, saying detachedly, "If you’re jealous, go complain to him yourself. Don’t use me as a shield."

Her intentions laid bare, the fifth young miss of the Qi Family blushed and stammered, "Who... who’s jealous? What jealousy? I am not! Sister, don’t talk nonsense; I was clearly speaking up for you, and you’re wronging me!"

"There’s no need to rush; my husband knows what’s in his heart."

The Qi Family’s eldest miss calmly asked, "Are you that eager to marry him?"

"Who... who’s in a rush?" The fifth young miss of the Qi Family immediately became flustered, her face red as she said, "No, he’s my brother-in-law; I would never marry him. Moreover, he can’t even defeat me in a fight. Why would I marry him?"

The Qi Family’s eldest miss ignored her words and simply said, "Even if you marry him, don’t even think about competing with Baili Fengzhi. I can tell her place in my husband’s heart is entirely different."

"I really envy you, Sister..."

The fifth young miss of the Qi Family murmured, "Always cutting away sentiment, no wonder you never get jealous..."

Just then, a tall and upright figure approached.

"My lady, fifth young miss."

Baili Fengzhi spoke softly, "The young master has not emerged yet. There’s no need for you two to wait here. Would you like to come in and sit?"

The fifth young miss of the Qi Family’s eyes flickered as she readily nodded, "Yes please, Sister Baili."

Baili Fengzhi gave her an odd look but said nothing.

"Sister Baili."

The fifth young miss of the Qi Family walked briskly beside Baili Fengzhi and asked, "I heard you are also taking part in the Outer Hall examination of Ancestor Hall today? Will you participate in the Inner Hall examination next month?"

"Yes," Baili Fengzhi said.
