Her eyes darted around, then she stared at Jiang Sishui and asked, "And what are your relationships with those women around you?"

Jiang Sishui remained calm and composed, saying, "She will also be my woman."

Li Qingluo's expression changed drastically!

She hated sharing a husband with other women; otherwise, she wouldn't have left in anger and remarried someone else after Duan Zhengchun refused to divorce her.

Now, upon hearing that Jiang Sishui actually wanted to take her daughter and other women into her room, Li Qingluo was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly bristling with anger.

Even though the man in front of her was her junior brother and had avenged her father, she still didn't give him a friendly look.

He immediately turned his face away and said coldly, "I disagree!"

"What does Madam disagree with?"

"I don't approve of your relationship with Yu Yan."

"But my master asked me to take care of you and your daughter."

“There are many ways to take care of someone, it’s not like you have to marry them. Your master even asked you to take care of me, are you going to marry me as well?”

Li Qingluo scoffed.

However, this was meant to refute Jiang Sishui's words, but Jiang Sishui raised an eyebrow and said, "That's not necessarily a bad thing."

Li Qingluo's mocking smile froze on her face. She turned her head in astonishment, staring wide-eyed at Jiang Sishui, hardly believing her ears.

"What...what did you just say?" Li Qingluo stammered, utterly shocked.

Jiang Sishui didn't answer. Instead, she turned to look at the outline of the crescent moon that had just risen in the western sky and changed the subject: "Would you like to go and pay your respects to your master?"

Li Qingluo's chest heaved violently. She gave Jiang Sishui a deep look and said calmly, "We are going, but we'll have to wait a couple of days."

Jiang Sishui said, "I'll take you there now."

Li Qingluo frowned: "It's getting late, and there's no rush."

"No problem, it'll be quick."

Jiang Sishui said something she couldn't understand, and then took out the "Imperial Ambition" and tossed it away.

Then, a light array formed right under Li Qingluo's nose.

Seeing this miraculous scene, Li Qingluo was completely stunned and stood frozen in place.

Even when Jiang Sishui pulled her into the formation, she didn't react at all, and just followed him blankly.

With a flash of light, the two left Mantuo Manor.

When it reappeared, it was already at Leigushan.

Not far ahead was Wu Yazi's tomb, where Su Xinghe was guarding it.

Seeing the scene change before her eyes as if the stars had shifted, Li Qingluo was startled back to her senses and exclaimed, "What did you do? Where is this?"

"This is Leigu Mountain."

"Beat the drums..."

Her words abruptly stopped, and looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, Li Qingluo was once again stunned.

Clearly, everything before her eyes was beyond her comprehension.

Traveling a thousand miles in an instant—that must be divine skill!

She simply couldn't understand how Jiang Sishui, an ordinary person, could have accomplished all of this.

"No! This must be some kind of illusion, a mind-controlling spell, a soul-capturing spell, or a hallucination. Everything I'm seeing is fake!"

Li Qingluo began to have doubts.

Rather than believing that Jiang Sishui was a deity, she preferred to believe that she was under some kind of spiritual spell.

Just as she was about to question him, Jiang Sishui pointed to the cemetery and the old man guarding the tomb ahead: "See that? That's where Master rests. That old man is Su Xinghe, you should know him."

Su Xinghe?

Li Qingluo certainly knew that he was Wu Yazi's eldest disciple.

He lived in Wuliang Mountain in Yunzhou when he was a child. When he came to pay his respects to Wuyazi, he even hugged her.

Later, at Mantuo Manor, she heard that there was a deaf and mute man named Su Xinghe at Leigu Mountain who was also the leader of some kind of deaf-mute sect.

Li Qingluo was stunned for a moment, then immediately put it out of her mind and didn't think much of it, assuming it was just a case of the same name.

After all, in her memory, Su Xinghe was a handsome and elegant man who respected his teachers and the Dao, and it was impossible for him to leave the Xiaoyao Sect to establish some kind of Deaf-Mute Sect.

Only today did she learn the truth from Jiang Sishui.

Jiang Sishui didn't say much. She glanced at Li Qingluo, turned her back, and left the time to her.

Seeing this, Li Qingluo stepped forward with some doubt.

……

About half an hour later, Li Qingluo returned, looking somewhat lost and dejected.

She was now almost certain that this was not some kind of illusion or magic.

During their conversation, she had tested Su Xinghe, and he answered her questions about the past with ease.

In other words, Su Xinghe is real, and everything before our eyes is real too.

"Is everything ready?"

"Ah."

Jiang Sishui smiled slightly and used the same trick again, bringing Li Qingluo back to Mantuo Manor.

This time, Li Qingluo didn't space out; instead, she carefully examined every detail, and then...

She couldn't see a single hair on it.

They felt it was a divine skill, a profound and mysterious art.

At the same stone pavilion, Jiang Sishui looked at Li Qingluo and smiled, "Madam, I think you should understand: I am me, not Duan Zhengchun, and he cannot be compared to me."

“What he can’t do, dare not do, or even dare not think about, I can do.”

"And what I've been working on, so far, there's nothing I haven't been able to do."

"I hope Yu Yan and I can receive your blessing, and..."

He paused, then took two steps forward to face Li Qingluo, leaning slightly to the side, and whispered in her ear, "I will take good care of you and your daughter."

After saying that, Jiang Sishui smiled, turned around and left.

Li Qingluo's heart skipped a beat at his last, ambiguous words. Her limbs went weak, and she collapsed onto the stone chair, her beautiful face flushed with shame and anger.

Watching Jiang Sishui's carefree departure, Li Qingluo gritted her teeth in anger: "That bastard!"

129 Abi: I would be willing to die for him.

Why did Jiang Sishui take her to Leigu Mountain? Was he really in such a hurry for her to pay respects to her deceased father?

of course not!

Jiang Sishui's actions were mainly intended to show off his abilities.

Through such a miraculous means, they told Li Qingluo—

“I’m not Duan Zhengchun. Don’t try to apply the same methods you used to restrict him to me. I’m going to have Wang Yuyan, and I have the ability to have her on both sides.”

"Now I'm trying to reason with you nicely, hoping you'll be sensible and we can all live in peace."

"If you try to obstruct me, you won't look good when I take a hard line."

Although Jiang Sishui didn't say these words explicitly, Li Qingluo understood their meaning.

In other words, she, as a mother, had absolutely no ability to interfere in her daughter's happiness.

"Father, have you brought a guardian angel or a scourge upon your daughter?"

Li Qingluo murmured softly, her brows furrowed with worry.

It's unclear whether Jiang Sishui's arrival will be a blessing or a curse for Mantuo Manor.

Jiang Sishui's ambiguous last sentence made Li Qingluo uneasy and restless.

Take good care of the mother and daughter.

What exactly constitutes "care"? 307

Is he trying to have his cake and eat it too, mother and daughter?

"She's good with both mothers and daughters..."

Just thinking about those four words made Li Qingluo feel incredibly ashamed, and she quickly banished this illicit thought from her mind.

"But how did he know about my affair with Duan Lang?"

Li Qingluo was filled with doubt and surprise. Suddenly, she remembered that before Wang Yuyan ran away from home, she had questioned her about her biological father.

"Could it be Yu Yan who told him? That brat, she even tells people things like this!"

Her chest heaved violently; Li Qingluo was furious and was about to teach Wang Yuyan a lesson.
