Su Xiao couldnt find Shen Yiren anywhere and ended up doing a lap of the four-way intersection after asking people. Only then did it occur to him that she wasnt the type to leave clues behind. Luckily, the scent of plum blossoms grazed his nose, prompting him to follow the scent seldom found in Nanjiang. Of course, the first layer of Yijin Jing deserved credit for empowering him with the ability to do so.

Though shocked upon finding Ming Xiaolou and Shen Yiren locking horns, something else stuck out more to Su Xiao.

“Watch out!” Su Xiao cried.

A masked man leapt out from a thicket when Ming Xiaolou and Shen Yiren were about to clash, aiming his blade at Ming Xiaolous back. He felt distressed while they were fighting, but if he left, theyd notice him right away since he was at the centre. Jumping out to attack was merely a gamble before he mentally broke down.

Ming Xiaolou, caught in a pincer attack, had to give Shen Yiren her all. There was no slipping Shen Yiren because Shen Yiren had locked onto her.

Despite both of their lives being jeopardised, Shen Yiren diverted the trajectory of her attack around Ming Xiaolou to impale the wraith through the forehead. On the other hand, Xiaer was a beat slower with her decision, so she only cancelled out 10% of her output. As a result, she couldnt stop the remaining energy from spearing Shen Yirens left shoulder.

“Miss Shen!” “Vice-Captain!” Xiaer and Su Xiao cried in unison as they watched Shen Yiren fall from the sky.

Shen Yiren gritted her teeth to absorb her landing.

Xiaer rushed over to tend to Shen Yirens wounds. Xiaer left her fingerprints on Shen Yirens left shoulder that was bleeding. Because Savage Slay Manual was predominantly a Yin Realm discipline, her internal energy carried a venomous component that an ordinary physician wouldnt be able to treat.

“Vice C-, Maam Ming, are you all right” Su Xiao had a lot to ask, but Shen Yirens wellbeing came first.

“Im fine.” Although Shen Yiren was able to speak now, she had to strain herself. “This left arm of mine was already crippled. This minor injury doesnt make any difference.”

“Dont say that. I will ask the doctor to check up on you when we get back. Let me carry you back.”

“I was freezing, but Im okay now. What are you imagining If you run around town with me on your back, well have a mob of people claiming the mistress beat the main wife at our store tomorrow. You might be fine with that, but Im not, hahaha.”

“But… youre ashen white…”

Shen Yiren shook her head right before Ming Xiaolou stated, “I admit defeat.”

“What” Shen Yiren looked up at Ming Xiaolou. “We didnt settle our match. How about a second match Ill be good to go after a quick break.”

“Not necessary. I know I lost.” Looking down at the ground, Ming Xiaolou asserted, “You couldve pulled out to save yourself, yet you chose to protect me, while I was hesitant to trust you, leading to me hurting you. Youre more decisive than I am. Plus… you saved my life. Im not one to show ingratitude to someone who did something for me.”

Shen Yiren dimpled, seeing her younger self in Ming Xiaolou. Shen Yiren wasnt born a workaholic. Prior to her parents passing away, she had a relatively “ordinary” life for a girl. She could play all day without knowing fatigue. Shed admit to her faults the same way Ming Xiaolou did when she did something wrong. If Ming Feizhens assessment earned him a chance at being debt-free, he would be debt-free; shed be very similar to Ming Xiaolou if her father was still alive.

“You dont need to go as far as admitting defeat. At the end of the day, you helped me. Besides, given your relationship with Feizhen, were friends to begin with. I was born in Yuanshengs twelfth year - the year of the rat. How about you”

“I-I was born in the year of the dragon.”

“Im a year older, huh. How about we address each other as sisters from now”

Ming Xiaolou wept as she leapt into Shen Yirens embrace.

“Um,” Su Xiao interjected hesitantly. “Can someone tell me what happened”

Shen Yiren responded, “I forgot to explain. Xiao Han, this is Xiaer - real name Ming Xiaolou. Shes not a businessmans daughter. If you ask me, I could count on one hand the number of people more famous than her father in the martial arts community. His alias is Yuhua of the World. He is Mount Daluos patriarch, Ming Huayu.” Before Su Xiao could pick his chin off the ground, she added, “In other words, hes Feizhens shifu. Shes considered his younger sister.”

Ming Xiaolou timidly popped her head out from Shen Yirens embrace. “Xiao Han, I apologise for lying to you, but I never harmed you. I was the one who saved you when that Beussent fellow approached you.”

“Eh!” Su Xiao further conversed with Ming Xiaolou to renew his impression of her.

Whats with Feizhens siblings All of them are so god darn tough to win over.

Candidly, Shen Yiren somewhat regretted duelling Xiaer because they took on the risk of injuring themselves and the other if anything went awry. She was confident she could remain standing; however, she feared hurting Ming Feizhens sister. Though she got hurt, it was worth it in the end.

“Lets head back. Xiaer, I need to introduce you to everyone.”

“Okay,” beaming, Xiaer finished, “Sister-in-law!”

“Why are you calling me sister-in-law!”

“Huh How else am I supposed to address you Didnt you say you would treat me as your sister”

“Yeah, so you sh-”

“Thats why Im treating you as my sister-in-law.”

… I give up.

“Once we get back, uh… Hero Li will craft a profile for you. Now, we need to clean up here. Also, who is the assassin”

Xiaer docilely called Uncle Tian over to tidy up and bring them a carriage. They wrapped the wraiths corpse up in hay and stuff him at the bottom of the carriage. They didnt need to worry about guard inspections as Xiuyu was technically their turf. Uncle Tian proved to Shen Yiren why Mount Daluo was at the top of the food chain with the way he dealt with the corpse.

Long Zaitian possessed the perceptiveness to notice Shen Yiren was in poor condition. Howbeit, he feigned ignorance to it as he welcomed her into the conference room in case anyone caught on to them. Worried, Emperor Yuansheng used his internal energy to help her regulate her flow of internal energy.

Xiaer apologised profusely to everyone after her story was told. Emperor Yuansheng told her not to mind it, and the others werent offended. Their real problem was the wraiths.

Everyone who encountered a wraith reported to Shen Yiren. Abels was the only one who managed to capture a wraith in one piece. Regrettably, the wraith refused to spill a single bean. They let Xiaer take care of interrogating him for she claimed she was a first-rate interrogator. As promised, it didnt take her long to get “Baimus Sacred Beast” out of him, helping her establish herself as a valuable asset.

“Wait.” Emperor Yuansheng said, “I gave Brother Sima the character of Ming Feizhens younger cousin when he joined. Miss Xiaer, I think I should also give you a profile.”

“That will not be necessary. I am my brother and sister-in-laws younger sister! Right, Sister-in-Law”

Emperor Yuansheng slapped the table: “Perfect!”

Sima Huai flicked up a thumb: “Good stuff!”

Xiaer brushed her nose with her thumb: “This is standard for me.”

They were so busy celebrating that they didnt hear Shen Yiren breathing heavily out of her nose.

Su Xiao: “Xiaer, watch. This small stool is for eating by the corner. This small stool is for resting feet whilst drinking tea. This cloth is for wiping tables. This small tray is for carrying teacups. Make sure you always have money on you because you pay for the fruit first and receive your reimbursement later. Your third and fourth brothers are in charge of keeping the loo clean. You can be in charge of cooking. This basin is for washing feet. Just leave it aside for now. Big Brother Ming will take care of it when he returns.”-
