Gazing at Lin Xianshu's enchanting face, Ye Qingcheng's eyes narrowed, "What, she's a woman, and such a beautiful one at that..."

Ye Qingcheng's eyes filled with deep suspicion. Women are always sensitive, after all. Seeing Lin Xianshu descend the stairs, Ye Qingcheng pointed at her and asked, "You, are you really his dharma slave... what is your name?"

Without paying any attention to Ye Qingcheng, Lin Xianshu gave Wang Xiaoqiang a deep bow, "Master, may I inquire if you have any instructions...?"

Seeing Lin Xianshu's submissive demeanor, Ye Qingcheng couldn't help but believe her a bit more.

"Uh, let me introduce you," Wang Xiaoqiang put on an air of a master, pointed at Ye Qingcheng, and said to her, "This is my woman, and from now on, she will be your master as well. You must take good care of her..."

Lin Xianshu gave a deep bow to Ye Qingcheng, "Greetings, Master. My name is Lin Xianshu. If there are any instructions in the future, please feel free to command. I shall serve diligently..."

Seeing Lin Xianshu show humility toward herself as well, Ye Qingcheng's heart believed her a little more. However, Lin Xianshu's cultivation base still made her feel that something was amiss, which prompted her to ask another question, "Which sect are you from?"

"I belong to the Mount Hua Sword Sect," Lin Xianshu replied, "but now, I am merely his dharma slave..."

Wang Xiaoqiang explained, "That's right, she indeed is from the Mount Hua Sword Sect. She came out with Li Taiyi. In the end, I killed Li Taiyi, and this woman, I made her my dharma slave..."

Ye Qingcheng finally believed him. She had heard before that there was a stunningly beautiful woman named Lin Xianshu in the Mount Hua Sword Sect. Looking at this woman's appearance, who seemed even slightly more exquisite than herself, she nodded and pointed at Lin Xianshu, saying, "Little Qiang, there's no time to lose. Let her go buy some pills for us, we..."

Ye Qingcheng had wanted to say they would start dual cultivation right away, but with Lin Xianshu present, she simply couldn't say it.

Wang Xiaoqiang obviously understood her meaning, so he said to Lin Xianshu, "Go, see where you can buy pills. Spare no cost in acquiring them for me, choose only the best..."

"Yes, I understand," Lin Xianshu said, then left the villa.

Once outside the villa, Lin Xianshu bit her lip with hatred, cursing Wang Xiaoqiang in her heart. She truly hadn't expected that Wang Xiaoqiang had other women before her. However, now was not the time to dwell on these thoughts. Although she very much disliked the idea of being with another woman, what's done was done. She had already given her body to Wang Xiaoqiang. Moreover, at this critical juncture, survival was paramount. No matter how aggrieved she felt inside, she had to swallow her bitterness since her fate, and that of her family, were bound with Wang Xiaoqiang – for better or worse. She could only play the role of Wang Xiaoqiang's dharma slave for now and help him reach the Void Returning State, or else the fate of her and her family would be completely ruined by the Mount Hua Sword Sect.

As she thought this, she flew back to her family's estate, first getting her family members to hide away before mobilizing the family's resources to purchase the pills.

Wang Xiaoqiang came to the villa's living room and sat down while waiting for Lin Xianshu. He had barely waited a minute when he saw Lin Xianshu enter from outside, holding two Brocade Boxes.

Wang Xiaoqiang eyed Lin Xianshu and laughed, "Did you buy the pills?"

"To buy you these pills, I tapped into ten billion from my family," Lin Xianshu glared fiercely at Wang Xiaoqiang.

"Haha, it's just ten billion. I'll pay you back later..."

Lin Xianshu handed over the Brocade Boxes containing Nine-Turn Golden Core and Middle Grade Pills to Wang Xiaoqiang fiercely, "Go on, hurry up and cling to your girlfriend and go crazy..."

Wang Xiaoqiang replied, "She's no longer able, it's your turn now."

While Ye Qingcheng slept soundly, Wang Xiaoqiang and Lin Xianshu were together. At the Mount Hua Sword Sect's main hall, Li Gufeng sat in the sandalwood chair in front of the back hall with an imposing expression. In front of him stood a young man, carrying a longsword on his back and standing respectfully, reporting to Li Gufeng, "Sect Leader Master, Young Master Li, Elders Ding and Ge have not returned till now. Should we... should we send someone to check on them again?"

"What?" Li Gufeng's expression grew serious, "They haven't returned yet?"

"Yes."

"Have you contacted them with a Communication Talisman?"

"We tried, but there was no response."

The young disciple answered, bowing even lower. Usually, disciples who are out on missions dare not fail to respond to a sect's summon, unless it's someone like Lin Xianshu who turned traitor, or they were unfortunate enough to meet their demise.

However, one thing was certain: anyone in the Mount Hua Sword Sect could betray, except for Li Taiyi, for he was Li Gufeng's son and his most beloved. There was no reason for him to turn traitor. The only explanation for being uncontactable was that disaster had struck!

"What? No one responded!" Li Gufeng's eyes suddenly narrowed to pinpoints.

"Yes! We tried contacting them three times, but neither Young Master Li nor Elders Ding and Ge answered."

Upon hearing this, Li Gufeng quickly stood up and paced briskly around the hall. After a moment, he pointed at the young man and instructed, "Send someone immediately to the Lin Family to search for them. If anything seems amiss, call for backup right away..."

"Yes!" The young man was about to leave.

Li Gufeng then said, "Wait,"

The young man stopped in his tracks and turned back, bowing, "Is there anything else, Sect Leader Master?"

"Guh Yuefeng, take people there yourself..."

"Yes,"

...

Before Wang Xiaoqiang could respond, Lin Xianshu's phone rang.

What Lin Xianshu feared most right now was receiving calls. She hastily picked up the phone and saw that it was indeed from her family, immediately pressing the answer button.

"Hello, Xianshu, the Mount Hua Sword Sect has sent people over. I'm keeping them at bay for now, you and Mr. Wang need to come back quickly..."

"Okay, Grandfather, we will rush back immediately." Lin Xianshu then added, "Please make sure to keep them at bay."

"Li Gufeng has sent people so quickly..."

"It's a good thing it's not Li Gufeng himself." Lin Xianshu sighed with relief and said. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to vote with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets on Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users can read on m.qidian.com.)
