On the day before the Lunar New Year, Li dressed Ye Shuang in new clothes. It was a pink dress with a pink cloak on top, embroidered with delicate patterns. It was clear that it had been made with great care and attention.

The dress was filled with cotton in the lining, and these two layers were enough for Ye Shuang to get through the winter. From then on, Ye Shuang finally got rid of the fate of having to be wrapped up like a ball every day.

That very evening, Ye Shuang received Mo Wu's first letter.

"Young lady, please allow me to report: We have arrived in the capital. The Imperial Preceptor is acting strangely; he seems to be a cultivator."

That's a lot to say! For a cultivator to reach the position of Imperial Preceptor means they have considerable power and could easily influence the court. Since the Imperial Preceptor was specifically mentioned, it seems he played a significant role in the dynasty's rapid decline.

But to disrupt the peace of a country is something that is likely to incur divine retribution, so a wise person would not directly do it. This national advisor must have someone behind the scenes.

Ye Shuang used her spiritual power to write: There may be more to the story; a thorough investigation is needed.

With the final stroke, the line of words transformed into starlight and vanished before our eyes.

This was a small technique she had researched before. It required very little spiritual energy, transmitted messages quickly, and had its own location tracking. However, she could only write a few words each time she sent a message, but it was enough for her and Mo Wu.

Ye Shuang sat cross-legged on the bed. Since she got this small bedroom, she had replaced sleep with cultivation. With the spiritual pearl given to her by Mo Wu, the damage to her meridians had been greatly alleviated, and she finally had some spiritual power to protect herself.

Bai Xue, who had been closely following her, also grew significantly due to the nourishment of spiritual energy.

Ye Shuang was a little worried. If it grew any bigger, it would be harder to hide the fact that it was a wolf: "Good girl, Bai Xue, I'll give you two choices. Either you bark, or you don't grow up."

Bai Xue: Woof woof?

Master, can you speak like a human being?

"Shuang'er, what are you whispering to Bai Xue?" Li Shi lifted the curtain, and her smiling voice came in. Ye Shuang's bedroom door faced their bedroom, separated only by a dark blue cloth.

Ye Shuang stood up, patted her clothes which were covered in Bai Xue's fur, and turned around, revealing her innocent and naive self: "Mom~ Bai Xue is chewing my bed again. I'm teaching her not to chew things."

Bai Xue: ? ?

Li glanced at Bai Xue, who was sitting obediently at Ye Shuang's feet, and waved with a smile: "We should go now, we need to go and wish Grandmother a Happy New Year!"

Ye Shuang tilted her head and stepped forward to take the hand that Li Shi had extended to her: "Are we going to the house of that grandma who came to our house the other day?"

Li nodded, but stopped Bai Xue when she tried to follow: "Bai Xue, stay home and watch the house. We'll be back tonight."

Bai Xue was unwilling to accept this and wanted to continue following, but as soon as she looked up, she saw Ye Shuang's warning look and immediately stopped in her tracks, not daring to move an inch.

Li thought that Bai Xue was intelligent and understood what she was saying, so she nodded in satisfaction and took Ye Shuang's small hand as they walked out of the courtyard.

Li Mantian and Li Wenyi were already waiting at the door. Both of them were wearing light blue robes today, which looked very warm, not to mention that they also had fur collars around their necks and fur hats on their heads.

Ye Shuang also has it, and her fur is pure white, which makes her even more adorable, like a little fairy.

Li Mantian stepped forward, picked up Ye Shuang, and strode forward.
