This incident shocked the entire court and spread like a virus throughout the Northern Wei Kingdom, bringing Li Xiaoxiao's reputation to its peak.
This woman, who originally grew up in the village, gradually became the topic of conversation.
After resolving the matter, Li Xiaoxiao returned home. Manager Hu and Bai Yi pulled Bai Han along, and the three of them knelt directly in front of Li Xiaoxiao.
“Master, we are very grateful for your sheltering of the three of us.”
The three knelt down and kowtowed three times, then Li Xiaoxiao waved her hand to tell them to get up.
"There's no need for that. I'll be taking the academy's assessment in six months, so I'll need you to take good care of things here. Keep an eye on things regularly. Manager Hu, I'm trying my best to assist you. If you're qualified, you can run this shop. I'll be going to the shops in the capital soon, and Gu Lan and Chen Xueqing will be leaving then."
"As for Bai Yi and Bai Han's talent for martial arts, I will have to establish a mercenary group in the future. If they want to join the army in the future, that's fine too. Start training them properly now, and you don't need to continue doing the work at the paper mill."
It turned out that Li Xiaoxiao had already paved the way for them. The three of them wept uncontrollably. After being comforted for a while, they returned to the courtyard.
Before long, all the women from the disbanded brothel rushed towards the Li family, begging Li Xiaoxiao for help.
Li Xiaoxiao called over Steward Hu and taught her how to handle these matters. After resolving these issues, Li Xiaoxiao returned to the forest alone to continue her training.
She planned to teach the Ascension Technique to Bai Yi and Bai Han again. She remembered Bai Yi and Bai Han's background. Later, they were the number one and number two on Qi Yu's assassin list. They stood out from a group of children who were secretly taken away. After countless calamities, they were rescued by Qi Yu and became his shadow.
Bai Yi and Bai Han have special constitutions. Bai Yi is born with an extremely yin constitution, while Bai Han is born with an extremely yang constitution. Bai Han was picked up by Steward Hu. Steward Hu was pregnant with her son at the time. She was beaten by her husband and suffered severe bleeding, resulting in a miscarriage and death of the child. Her husband was out drinking and had not returned for several days. While looking for food in the woods, he found a boy. Fearing that her husband would find out, she took him back. Because he was picked up on a cold, snowy day, he was named Bai Han.
Unexpectedly, he ended up picking up these two people by sheer chance.
Li Xiaoxiao began to try using spiritual power, but her control over it was not very good. As soon as she released the fire spirit, a large number of fire spirits surged and exploded, piercing through the entire area within a hundred steps.
But she didn't have such terrifying spiritual power before; it's as if she suddenly had so much spiritual power out of nowhere.
However, Li Xiaoxiao could no longer recall the plot of the book in her mind, and could not remember what happened next. It was as if she was restricted.
Something seems to be missing.
Something is controlling her.
Li Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
She erupted once more, instantly unleashing an extremely powerful spiritual force within the forest. All the surrounding trees and rocks were obliterated by the wind. She suddenly became an existence even stronger than the female lead. What was going on?
However, not far away, the poor scholar Zhang Sheng was watching all of this with a faint smile on his face. The scholar then left the place at an extremely fast speed.
Li Xiaoxiao tried releasing her spiritual power several more times, striking the ground repeatedly to test whether her spiritual power was truly as terrifying as it seemed. Dozens of fists carrying spiritual power slammed down, causing an earthquake-like sound to resound. The ground trembled and shook. She dug a large hole in the mountain, revealing a cavern a hundred feet deep, where some iron ore mixed with white, silver-like veins was exposed.
Li Xiaoxiao finally stopped attacking, staring blankly at the scene below filled with ore, like a dream.
This is the implied meaning of the Duke's fiefdom; everything will belong to her.
