"I have something important to do." Bai Ye originally planned to recuperate and then go near the Xiao Residence to erect tombstones for her parents, and she didn"t want to wait too long.

"I forgot to mention, a day in Wuting Cave is only an hour in reality."

With Lie"s seemingly rea.s.suring words, Bai Ye unwittingly practiced in closed doors for twenty-four days.

Boom!

The loud noise woke up the sleeping Lie. Finally, there was movement.

Bai Ye"s somewhat sleepy voice sounded, "Lie-Lie, let me come out!"

Uncle Lie suddenly went berserk, "Don"t make my domineering name sound so disgusting!"

In fact, Bai Ye had reached the peak of Martial Soldier on the seventh day, because her ascension to the initial stage of Martial Spirit seemed too smooth, she stopped to study alchemy books.

As a result, she totally forgot herself, and from time to time she would stimulate her internal force according to the records in a book, causing her to break through inexplicably.

To advance from Martial Soldier to Martial Spirit, one had to practice for at least three to five years, even with good talent; and yet, it only took ten days or so for this woman!

Lie"s handsome face could not hide his surprise, "So, why have you come out now?"

"I"m obsessed with those alchemy books; although I"m only halfway through them, it should have been two days outside. I have to go back." Bai Ye stretched and yawned.

She was halfway through that pile of books?

Lie laughed gorgeously. Let this insane talent come more violently!

At this time, the horizon had already revealed the marble white color of the dawn sky.

With the improvement of her strength, Bai Ye easily avoided the servants around her and set up a tombstone for Xiao Jingtian and his wife in the bamboo forest not far from the Xiao Residence.

"As long as I am alive, even if I have to overturn the entire land of South Zhao, I vow that I will avenge the Xiao Family!" Bai Ye"s eyes were moist and she tried to hold back her tears.

All of a sudden, the beautiful sound of a guqin came from the sea of bamboo trees. She got up in astonishment, only to find that there was no one around.

Perhaps she had a profound internal force and her hearing was more sensitive than that of ordinary people.

The guqin played for a long time, miraculously soothing her sad mood. She could not describe what kind of sound it was; there were only two words flashing through her mind.

She couldn"t help but follow the sound of the instrument. It led her to a hut not far away, and she found that there was also a tombstone next to it.

When she walked forward, she was suddenly shocked. There were several big characters engraved on the tombstone — the tomb of Xiao Luobing!

Who? Who set up a tombstone for her?

The sound of the guqin came to an abrupt end.

A warm and clean voice, like a spring breeze, broke the silence: "It"s windy outside; come in and have a seat."

She pushed the door of the hut and entered. All the furnishings inside were made of good materials, there was a burning wood charcoal in the middle, and the incense made of Buddha"s hand[1] warmed the entire room; there was this kind of unreal feeling, as though she were in a dream.

[1] Buddha"s Hand [wikipedia link]

Inside the room was a man and a woman, and when she saw the man lying on the fox fur couch on the side, she couldn"t help but freeze.

The man"s face was deathly pale, yet it couldn"t prevent the devilish aura all over his body from coming out.

His white attire was like the snow falling and whirling in the wind, making one admire greatly; it could even be said that he was like an immortal, just like an earth-spirit. Those narrowed, beautiful eyes of his were so bright, and people simply had no time to think about any words to describe his astonishing face because that inherently languid demeanour alone was enough to make sentient beings forget the world.

His eyes landed on Bai Ye"s shoulder and swept over her long and graceful figure. The girl"s round and slender waist made his fox-like eyes squint; he bent his lips and smiled softly, "Extremely beautiful."

The woman with the veil standing on one side was a little confused and asked, "Master, what"s beautiful?"

The man bowed his head and fiddled with the white jade thumb ring on his left hand. After a while, he slowly said, "Body."

He had a beautiful voice, and when he said the word "body", he paused. It seemed to be deliberate, but also seemed like this word just very casually came out of his mouth.

The maid smiled and nodded with great approval, "It really is beautiful!"
