Emperor’s Domination

with your test?” He directly asked.

Miaozhen was indeed crafty. Her other purpose was to test Li Qiyes abilities, to see if her master chose the right person.

“I had complete confidence in you, Senior Brother. I knew you would stop Everlasting from being so arrogant and boost our morale, thats all, no other intention.” She rolled her eyes, looking pitiful and wrongfully blamed.

Li Qiye was unmoved: “Dont think I wont strip you and throw you out of Hundred-flowers.”

“Senior Brother, alright, I was wrong, I shouldnt have tried to test your abilities.” She hugged his arm tighter and admitted her mistake: “But youre a benevolent and magnanimous person and will forgive me this time, right? I wont dare to do it again. Ill make it up to you by bringing you some tea and a meal.”

This girl was very adaptable and wily, someone that was both cute and frustrating to be around.

“Better brace yourself before trying again later.” He nonchalantly looked at her and stated.

“There will be no next time, I swear to the heaven.” She raised her hand and swore, taking it to heart.

Li Qiye only gave her a glance without responding.

“Hihi, I know youre nice enough, I wont do it again.” After seeing that he was fine, she grabbed his arm again and happily skipped forward.

***

Li Qiye enjoyed his time at Hundred-flowers. It was peaceful and quiet in the last two or three days. The little girl, Miaozhen, had run off somewhere and didnt come to bother him.

On the other hand, Qin Shaoyao visited several times to ask for help with alchemy and plants. She was much more pleasant to be around due to her gentle nature, unlike the other scheming demoness.

He answered all of her questions so she left happily each time.

Alas, his peace was broken this morning. A group of girls surrounded his courtyard completely.

“Good morning, First Brother.” They greeted after seeing him.

“First Brother, Senior Sisters said that you are gifted in everything and will teach us in place of Master. Im here today to respectfully ask for your guidance in pill-making.” One of them cheerfully requested.

Another one excitedly said: “First Sister said that your knowledge of plant is peerless, the three of us want to grow a rare one, please help us.”

“Before Master left, she was teaching us meditation laws. First Sister said that you know all of our merit laws, Im not very good at cultivation, please correct…”

These girls outside of his door were chirping nonstop. Being wanted by so many beauties was a blessing but also a source of headache.

Li Qiye grimaced, realizing the culprit right away.

Suddenly, a cough interrupted the pretty voices. The girls looked back and saw a cold expression, as distant as an apricot in the middle of a snowfield. No one would dare to come close.

“Second Sister.” The girls quieted down right away.

This was naturally one of the Three Ladies, Mu Yalan. The disciples in Hundred-flowers were rather scared of her. They werent close to her like they were with Miaozhen.

“If you all want to ask Senior Brother for help, dont do it like a bunch of bees. You need to organize a time with him first so that you dont interrupt his cultivation.” She told the group.

“Well come back tomorrow then.” One of them smiled cutely.

Many set up an appointment with him before leaving. There was no doubt that Miaozhen got them to come.
