"Of course it's true! Although it sounds unreliable, how could I joke about the lives of my own people?"

Bai Yuan shrugged.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Ningyan and Jimo Huaxue, in particular, were overwhelmed with emotion.

When did becoming stronger become so easy?

However, Ningyan and the others quickly grasped another piece of information in Bai Yuan's words.

"You just said that there are drawbacks to becoming stronger this way?"

"That's right. Although this method can give people many opportunities to become stronger quickly, this power is ultimately an external thing. If you can't absorb it and make it your own, you may be restricted by this power, and your future martial arts path may even stop there."

Bai Yuan carefully explained the limitations of the [Clifffall Sword Technique] to them.

Although, judging from the description of the entry, this is definitely a protagonist with a halo, giving others a cheat code.

But it's not actually that simple.

Every gift of fate actually comes with a price tag attached.

Shortcuts may be easy to take, but they won't get you to the top.

After hearing Bai Yuan's explanation, everyone quickly understood the reasoning.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

The snow woman remained silent for a while, her expression somewhat conflicted.

She was considering whether she should also learn the "Clifffall Sword Technique".

Although the drawbacks are significant, the benefits are also obvious: it can make people stronger quickly.

Seemingly sensing Xue Nu's inner thoughts, Bai Yuan shook his head slightly.

"Snow Maiden, you don't need to worry about it anymore. I have no intention of passing on this martial art to you. You are different from most people in Feixue Pavilion. You have a certain talent for martial arts. Learning the [Falling Cliff Sword Technique] would only be forcing growth and would do more harm than good to you. If you want to truly become strong, it is best to take it one step at a time and work steadily, just like you learned from Zhao Wu."

Upon hearing this, the Snow Woman paused slightly, then nodded firmly.

"I understand!"

At this moment, Bai Yuan and the others heard footsteps coming from afar, and Yun Xi walked over with ten dancers.

"Sir, these are the sisters I specially selected. They are not only good dancers, but also thoughtful. Yunxi has to take care of the other sisters in Feixue Pavilion and cannot serve you by your side for the time being. So they will serve you in place of Yunxi and the other sisters in Feixue Pavilion. You can tell them if you have any requests."

Bai Yuan nodded gently.

His gaze swept over the ten dancers, lingering briefly on Hua Die.

Having Yunxi find several dancers to serve him was just a smokescreen; his real purpose was to paint butterflies.

At this moment, she probably doesn't even realize that her identity has been exposed.

Even if it was just a smokescreen, Yunxi did her best to find the people Bai Yuan had instructed her to do.

Apart from the spy Hua Die, the other nine dancers are all among the best of Fei Xue Ge's many dancers.

They were also among the people Yunxi trusted most.

“These people are all very good. Perfect, Ningyan, you won’t have to work so hard anymore. You can leave many things to them.”

Bai Yuan smiled and turned back to Ningyan and the others.

"Can we choose a few people to be our personal maids?"

Unexpectedly, Ningyan suddenly made a request.

At the same time, Ji Mo Hua Xue also revealed an expectant look in her eyes.

Seeing that look in his eyes, Bai Yuan found it hard to refuse.

"Alright, in that case, you can choose for yourselves!"

With Bai Yuan's permission, Ningyan and Ji Mo Huaxue immediately assumed the roles of the mistresses and each randomly selected two dancers' names.

The two women, one in black and one in white, shook their heads slightly, indicating that they didn't need it.

Now they have to secretly kiss Bai Yuan every day. If they bring a personal maid, how can they do it "secretly"?

After selecting their maids, Bai Yuan and the others sat in Fei Xue Pavilion for a while before preparing to return.

Before leaving, Bai Yuan took out a white jade pendant and handed it to Yun Xi. This jade pendant was carved from a jade leaf from a papermaking tree. The jade leaf was originally black and white, but after Bai Yuan processed it, it became two yin-yang jade pendants, one black and one white.

"If anything happens, you only need to inject a wisp of true energy into this piece of white jade, and I will sense it and come over immediately."

As he spoke, Bai Yuan also showed off another black jade pendant.

These two jade pendants can sense each other within a certain distance, and in some situations they are much more effective than signal flares.

"Yunxi understands."

Yunxi accepted the jade pendant and nodded gently.

Then she took out a scroll and handed it to Bai Yuan.

"This contains all the information about Feixue Pavilion. Now that you are the owner of Feixue Pavilion, it should be handed over to you."

Bai Yuan nodded slightly and accepted the bamboo slip.

As soon as they stepped out of Feixue Pavilion, Bai Yuan, Ningyan, and the others keenly sensed that something was amiss.

"Wow!"

In the air, a white bird called out to them in a clear, melodious voice.

From the bird's cry, Bai Yuan and the others immediately understood its meaning.

Someone is secretly watching them.

"They're just a bunch of rats who only dare to hide in the gutter; let's ignore them for now."

Bai Yuan didn't waste time on these people, treating them as if they didn't exist, and led Ningyan and the others back to their residence.

Chapter 198 Prove your loyalty to me!

The news that Bai Yuan had left Fei Xue Pavilion with ten dancers was quickly spread by the spies who were secretly monitoring them.

In the Prime Minister's residence, Guo Kai stroked his beard upon hearing his subordinate's report.

"It seems I made the right move; all I had to do was cater to their preferences."

"My lord, is Bai Yuan worth all this trouble to curry favor with?"

Mo Yi stood to the side, asking with some confusion.

Guo Kai squinted at him.

"If he were just an ordinary martial arts master, I wouldn't be so polite to him. But you should know that even the King has to send him gifts to show his goodwill! I'm not trying to curry favor with him, but rather it's a wise man to be pragmatic."

As he spoke, Guo Kai thought about how his son had almost offended Bai Yuan to death for the sake of a dancer, and he became furious.

However, Guo Xiu is still lying in bed unconscious, and he has nowhere to vent his anger.

Meanwhile, Bai Yuan and the others returned to their residence. Ning Yan and Ji Mo Hua Xue then brought their chosen personal maids back to their rooms, their intentions unclear.

He didn't interfere much, letting Hei Bai lead the others to choose rooms, and then he took the information Yun Xi had given him and went back to his room.

He opened the documents, and the first thing that caught his eye was how much money Feixue Pavilion had accumulated since its opening.

A full three hundred gold coins!

This is a significant sum of money for a karaoke bar that has only recently opened.

However, Bai Yuan wasn't interested in money; he hadn't touched money in a long time.

Skipping over this part, Bai Yuan quickly saw the other information.

It's mainly related to these dancers.

Bai Yuan only glanced at it, and looking at the contents, he couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

Feixue Pavilion has a total of 182 dancers, including Yunxi and Xuenu.

Eight of them were no longer virgins, and the rest, including Yunxi herself, were still virgins.

After reading this information, Bai Yuan circulated his Mind Stillness Technique for two small cycles before suppressing those inappropriate thoughts in his mind.

He gave a wry smile.

"Yun Xi, is she doing this on purpose?"

Bai Yuan had to admit that Yun Xi had a very good grasp of men's psychology.

This alone was enough to increase his goodwill towards the people in Feixue Pavilion.

He put away the scroll, stopped thinking about random things, and began to cultivate in his room.

An afternoon passed quickly.

He didn't wake up until a maid knocked on the door and called him to dinner.

After dinner, Bai Yuan and the others sat and rested in the courtyard for a while before he prepared to go back for a bath and a good night's sleep.

On the way, he encountered Bai, who had secretly come to find him, and then he tasted the girl's sweet lips with satisfaction. However, because there were more maids at home, the two of them did not get too intimate, and Bai quickly went back.

Having his temper flared up by that little girl, Bai Yuan sighed and went back to his room, where he instructed the maids to prepare the necessary items for his medicinal bath.

Once the hot water was ready, the maids all lowered their heads, looking somewhat nervous.

Bai Yuan spoke up at this moment.

"Apart from Hua Die, everyone else can go out and wait. I don't need so many people to serve me while I bathe."

Upon hearing this, the others who weren't named...

The five maids felt a sense of relief, but also a bit disappointed, their feelings were quite complicated.

However, they still obeyed Bai Yuan's orders and quickly withdrew to become doormen.

In the room, Hua Die, who had been left alone by Bai Yuan, was also a little nervous, and kept her head down, not daring to look at Bai Yuan.

"How can you serve me a bath if you keep your head down like this?"

Bai Yuan joked with a smile.
