With Ye Shuang's current cultivation level, returning to the village would only take a few breaths. However, upon returning, she suddenly felt a sense of trepidation, wondering if Lingdang had managed to keep it from Li Shi and Li Mantian these past few days, and whether her friends had gone up the mountain alone while she was away.
Although Lingdang would still lead them up the mountain at her original pace, she wouldn't be like Lingdang, constantly looking after everyone's safety and carefully avoiding even sprains or scrapes.
Ye Shuang looked around the village. Normally, Lingdang should be on the mountain at this time, but she was at home? Bai Xue and Li Mantian were not there either? Only Li Shi was at home with Lingdang?
What happened? Did something happen while she was away?
Ye Shuang covered her entire body with spiritual power, perfectly blending into the surrounding environment, making her appear as if she had become invisible.
Lingdang already knew Ye Shuang had returned when she arrived near the village, but she pretended not to notice and, after noticing that Ye Shuang had entered the courtyard, she casually made up an excuse and went back to her bedroom.
Ye Shuang hurriedly followed inside. With a turn, she had already returned to the appearance of that child, and the bell turned into a wisp of smoke and floated back to her wrist.
"Shuang'er, don't be lazy. Hurry up and come out to learn. Needlework is something all girls should know. But you've been having other girls embroider for you these past few days. This time, I'll stay home and supervise you. Let's see how you ask others for help!" Li's voice was gentle yet stern, showing how determined she was to make Ye Shuang learn needlework.
Ye Shuang suddenly felt a headache coming on. It seemed she had returned at a really bad time, and she didn't know how she had given herself away. And no wonder Lingdang had run off so fast earlier; she should have come back a few days later.
Ye Shuang responded somewhat dejectedly, looked at her clothes, which were indeed exactly the same as before, and then slowly moved out.
Li sat at the table with a sewing basket beside her, containing a half-finished bell embroidery piece. Calling it a beginner's work would be an exaggeration; the messy lines looked like random stitches. No wonder Li was so angry. After learning for so long, she hadn't made any progress at all; in fact, she was getting worse.
Actually, embroidery isn't too difficult, especially since she has spiritual power and divine sense to assist her. Embroidering a pattern is nothing to be afraid of. It's just that needlework is really tedious and boring. With this time, she would rather cultivate in this mortal world where there is basically no spiritual energy, or even just wander in the heavens.
But Li Shi still patiently and gently taught her how to insert and remove the needles, and how to match colors. Ye Shuang couldn't bear to disappoint her. Anyway, this peaceful life wouldn't last much longer. No one knew how long she would have to live a life of wandering afterward. She didn't even know if she could protect this family. Her original confidence had already been shattered when she learned that the Suantian Sect was involved.
No one understands the methods of the Calculation Heaven Sect better than her. If the Calculation Heaven Sect wants to, it can turn the mortal world upside down, and even the cultivation world will be turned upside down. No one can live in peace.
Li tapped Ye Shuang's head: "Don't think about it. Your father won't be back from the mountains anytime soon. He'll be gone for three to five days. The only thing that can save you is the embroidered cloth in your hand. You can rest only after you complete the task. Let's get started."
Ye Shuang snapped out of her daze, forced a smile, and began to rack her brains over the piece of cloth. Should she embroider it all at once, or take it one step at a time? It was such a difficult choice!
