As Wang Yuyan entered the room, her gaze swept over the eyebrow pencil box, then glanced at her expressionless mother. Seeing her mother's eyebrows, which resembled distant mountains, she felt a surge of emotion.

Oops!

Mother actually took out that eyebrow pencil!

Li Mo knew the name of this eyebrow product, but not its price or rarity, so he didn't find it unusual.

Wang Yuyan, however, knew all too well.

This item comes from Persia. Each piece, slightly smaller than a chess piece, is worth ten gold pieces. In addition, it is basically reserved for royalty and top nobles, making it extremely difficult for ordinary people to buy. It is one of the important items for noblewomen to compete with each other.

Mother only uses such items when she goes to Dali to relax or during important festivals.

What is your intention in taking it out now?

Looking at the bed again, the bed curtains were drawn, revealing nothing.

has a problem!

"Hmm?" Li Qingluo sharply scrutinized Wang Yuyan. "Yuyan, what question do you want to ask?"

Wang Yuyan snapped out of her reverie and asked softly, "It's like this, I've been cultivating for two days, and I feel my internal energy is increasing rather quickly. Is there something wrong with that?"

Li Qingluo's expression hardened, and she strode forward, grabbed Wang Yuyan's hand, and pressed her pulse point.

The next moment, her expression changed drastically: "How is this possible!"

Wang Yuyan feigned concern: "Mother, what's wrong?"

"Your internal strength is more profound than that of an ordinary person who has been cultivating for more than a month. How could you have just cultivated it?" Li Qingluo looked Wang Yuyan up and down, suspecting that she had been cultivating before and was only showing it now, but she also felt that it was impossible.

She knows this daughter all too well.

She appears intelligent, but in reality, she lacks her own opinions. Unless forced by someone, she would never voluntarily practice martial arts.

Could it be that my daughter is actually a genius?

"Have you felt any discomfort?" Li Qingluo asked.

Wang Yuyan: "I felt a bit stuffy when I first started practicing, but now I feel completely better, and the more I practice, the more relaxed I feel."

After listening, Li Qingluo carefully examined the place from top to bottom for a long time, but she couldn't find the slightest problem.

"I suppose it's because you have exceptional talent, there's no need to worry too much." Thinking of her parents, Li Qingluo suddenly felt that it was normal for Wang Yuyan to have some abnormalities.

It's not surprising that my daughter, with her ethereal beauty and quick cultivation, could cultivate faster.

Wang Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I thought there was a problem with my cultivation!"

Seeing her daughter display her talent, Li Qingluo's anger vanished, and she said, "Cultivate diligently. After some time, I will go to the Murong family and see if Jiu'er can spare some pills for you."

When Li Qingluo talks about Jiu'er, her expression changes drastically.

Although it was only a branch of Yanziwu, the Murong family was much more reliable than Murong Fu. They had nine daughters, each a beauty in the world, and eight of them found reliable husbands, enjoying immense prestige.

Although the ninth daughter was not yet married, she was already quite famous in the martial arts world.

What's most remarkable is that this woman is also skilled in alchemy and medicine making. Although she can't compare to the famous masters in the martial arts world, it's enough for Wang Yuyan.

Wang Yuyan's eyes lit up: "Are we going to find Ninth Sister to exchange pills? Then Mother, you must give her plenty of money, after all, she has spent a lot of time searching for spiritual herbs to refine pills."

"Do I need you to teach me how to do things?" Li Qingluo said, glaring at Wang Yuyan. "Alright, since there's nothing else, you can leave now."

I still have so much to say, but now is not the time.

At least Yu Yan couldn't know. She gave Li Mo a meaningful look, her eyes full of tenderness.

Li Mo glanced at the gleaming "[Viper A]" entry above Li Qingluo's head, displaying "Copyable," and carefully exited the room.

The fact that A-level entries can already be copied means that Li Qingluo's favorability rating has reached over 80, which is an incredibly fast rate of increase.

Where's the femme fatale I was promised?

This entry on blond hair is so authoritative!

Unfortunately, this entry was of little use to him. After all, he wasn't involved in any demonic path, and he didn't have much good fortune to spare, so he couldn't waste it on something like this.

"Hey, are you upset that I interrupted your good time?"

Wang Yuyan paused slightly, waited for Li Mo, turned around and looked at him in a daze, and couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"No, thank you so much. If you had come any later, my innocence would have been in jeopardy." Li Mo grabbed Wang Yuyan's hand, feigning excitement, and straightened his clothes.

*Pfft!*

Seeing Li Mo's nervous expression, Wang Yuyan laughed.

"My mother would never do that!"

This was, of course, just a face-saving remark.

Wang Yuyan knew in her heart that what Li Mo said was the most likely thing to happen.

She was also relieved that she had gone to Li Mo's courtyard and found that his mealtime was taking too long, so she went to look for him and avoided the fate of her father being punished.

But why did Mother pull down the bed curtains so early?

She observed Li Mo discreetly, but couldn't detect anything amiss, so she had no choice but to keep her thoughts to herself.

Li Mo said expressionlessly, "Yes, yes, yes, it was all just my overthinking."

"By the way, yesterday Mother said she would teach you another martial art. What did she teach you?"

"It hasn't been sent yet!"

After a meal, a strenuous massage, a thrilling eyebrow thrush, and a great deal of effort, we still haven't received any benefits.

What happened to the saying, "A woman three years older than her husband is a lucky charm"?

Give me the gold bricks first, then we'll talk!

Wang Yuyan's expression shifted: "I'll teach you. Come quietly to my attic, and I'll teach you a set of sword techniques."

"Are you sure you can do it?" Li Mo asked, feigning doubt.

Wang Yuyan: "Hmph, I'm really good at this, you'll see in a minute."

Back to the residence.

"Youcao, go find two swords... no, find two wooden swords."

"Yes." Youcao asked curiously, "Why does Miss want two swords? Do you intend to practice dual-sword techniques?"

"Go on, go on, you talk too much."

Mantuo Manor has no shortage of martial artists, and naturally, it has no shortage of people who practice with wooden swords. In a short while, Youcao returned with two wooden swords.

Upon entering the room, one finds that there is already an extra person inside.

"Young Master Li, you've arrived."

"Mm." Li Mo nodded in acknowledgment, took the sword, and said, "Let's go, Miss Wang, let's go to the open space you mentioned to practice our swordsmanship."

Wang Yuyan led the way, then suddenly turned back and instructed, "Youcao, be careful. If Mother comes, let her know in advance."

Youcao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss, I know."

The two walked down from the pavilion and along the path among the camellia trees for a while. They saw a small open space in front of them, paved with bluestone, which was more than a hundred square meters in size and was enough for practicing swordsmanship.

The platform is bordered by a embankment, and below it lies the calm waters of Taihu Lake.

Li Mo walked to the embankment and said, "Wouldn't it be nice to fish here?"

"Practicing swordsmanship!" Wang Yuyan complained. "Why do we martial arts people fish? We just buy fish from someone to eat."

"You don't understand."

"Yes, yes, yes." Wang Yuyan assumed a starting stance. "This move is 'Knot of Hearts.' When the swords are drawn, the two stand side by side, their swords intertwined, one high and one low..."

Li Mo's expression shifted: "This swordsmanship is wrong, isn't it?"

"What's wrong?" Wang Yuyan asked innocently.

Li Mo: "Is this the sword technique that comes with that dual cultivation method?"

Wang Yuyan's cheeks flushed slightly: "Hmm. I think this swordsmanship is quite good. I've just finished cultivating my inner cultivation technique, so I'll take this opportunity to practice this swordsmanship as well. Don't you like it?"

"It's not that I don't like it." Li Mo walked to Wang Yuyan's side. "As long as Miss Wang doesn't care, why should I care?"

Wang Yuyan: "Hmph, it's just swordsmanship, don't overthink it."
