An Lin and Xu Xiaolan finished their meal and walked into the courtyard with satisfied expressions.

The four seasons immediately fled the scene so they could avoid being tortured any further.

“Sister Dong, it looks like that young sir really is Master’s Dao partner,” Little Qiu said with a hint of envy.

As a relationship expert, Little Dong nodded her head. She then shook her head before offering her analysis, “They should be Dao partners-to-be. There’s mutual love, but they haven’t confirmed their relationship status.”

“That sounds complicated. In any case, that man’s going to be living here from now on, isn’t he?” Little Xia pouted.

She only wanted to serve Xu Xiaolan, and she was quite unaccustomed to the idea of having a man in the household.

“Then that young sir is also going to be our Master from now on,” Little Chun said with a low voice and a light blush on her cheeks. “I heard from their conversation that they’re both students of the Heavenly Court… that’s so cool! Who would have thought that even our Master is a powerful cultivator… No wonder our male Master’s cooking is so good… he’s an immortal!”

“Hmph, even immortals have ranks and levels. Like whatever stage Dao Body or something like that. What stage could he be at?” Little Xia pursed her lips.

“To be able to attend the Heavenly Court as a student, he would have to be at least at the sixth or seventh stage!” Little Dong presented an objective estimate.

“Hey… Did you guys hear how Master referred to him as An Lin? Could he be that An Lin from the Kingdom of the Nine States Magazine?” Little Qiu said in a feeble voice.

All four maids immediately fell silent at this notion.

They thought back to a few minutes ago and realized their Master had indeed referred to him as An Lin! However, none of them had made the connection at that time, as the legendary figures on the Kingdom of the Nine States Magazines were all too far away from them. If it wasn’t for An Lin’s white hair, they wouldn’t have made the connection between him and Jiang Yanan.

Thinking about it now, they were both called An Lin, and they were both students of the Heavenly Court… What a terrifying notion!

“Does that mean he’s the An Lin that secured victory in the Dao Exchange Conference of the Four Powers?” Little Xia drew a sharp breath as she exclaimed.

“You mean the number one legendary figure in The United University of Cultivation?” Little Chun was just as shocked.

“That can’t be! I’ve heard An Lin is a man with black hair who likes to ride dogs. There’s no dog with him, and he has white hair.” Little Dong once again proved to be the voice of reason.

“Are you dumb? White hair is a current fashion trend among immortals. It’s very normal,” Little Chun retorted with excitement on her face. Her admiration and reverence for An Lin further elevated as her eyes glowed with the light of worship.

Little Xia and Little Qiu nodded in unison as they stole frequent glances at the two people in the courtyard with admiration and shock on their faces.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan sat side by side on the wooden bench to look up at the moon.

“Are you really not planning to return to the Vermilion Bird Sect? You have a Dao Integration Stage uncle, and Grand Elder Situ Feng has been a Dao Integration Stage mighty figure for countless years. With their help, there may be a chance.” An Lin turned to the female beside him. She looked particularly beautiful and alluring under the soft glow of the moonlight.

Xu Xiaolan shook her head firmly. “Shen Yin was a mighty figure comparable to Dao Integration Stage cultivator, and she was probably the most knowledgeable person on the topic of bloodline transfusions in this world. No one has more knowledge about this than her. I’ve inherited all her knowledge, so I know my condition is irreparable.

“Of course, I know my uncle and the Grand Elder might have some methods that can help me recover, but the price they would have to pay would be unimaginable…”

She turned to An Lin. “The collapse of one’s Dao foundation is the end of one’s cultivation path… It’s akin to death and it’s irreversible. Would you risk the lives of those close to you just for a slim chance at recovering your Dao foundation? My uncle owes my parents a lot, so he would give his life up for me if I asked him to. However, I don’t want to do that… I don’t want them to go so far for my sake, and I don’t want anyone else to know about my current condition. So, I don’t need all that…”

An Lin fell silent upon hearing her words, and he gently hugged Xu Xiaolan to his side.

Xu Xiaolan’s body trembled slightly, but she didn’t resist. She leaned her head on An Lin’s shoulder and tears began to swim in her eyes. “Do you find me inexplicable?”

An Lin shook his head. “No, I would make the same choice as you…”

“Is that because we’re both idiots?” Xu Xiaolan asked.

An Lin: “…”

He looked down at the alluring woman by his side and said in a low voice, “What a beautiful moon we have tonight.”

“Yes… the moon is indeed beautiful, but why are you moving your mouth closer to me?”

Xu Xiaolan pushed An Lin’s head away with confusion on her face.

An Lin blinked with a dumbfounded and indignant expression.

Had he made his advance at the wrong time?

Who could tell him what he was supposed to do now?

“Ahem… uh… Let’s talk about your medical clinic. We can open the clinic to all the residents in the city. You’re well-grounded in your theoretical knowledge, and I can refine some simple pills under your instruction. My pill refinement skills will improve, and your business will flourish. We can kill two birds with one stone…” An Lin suggested.

Xu Xiaolan looked up at An Lin with an expression as gentle as flowing water as An Lin planned out their life together.

The night passed by under a serene atmosphere.

…

An Lin woke up in the morning and picked up his voice transmission talisman to find over a hundred missed transmissions.

Almost everyone on his list of contacts had tried to contact him.

He had dropped everything to pursue Xu Xiaolan.

Only now did he discover that there were so many people who were worried about him. He was quite touched by this notion.

Xu Xiaolan had already burned her voice transmission talisman as she didn’t want to speak to anyone.

An Lin could understand what Xu Xiaolan was going through, so he decided to keep her condition a secret from everyone aside from his beast pets.

He paused for a moment before deciding to contact Da Bai first.

Da Bai instantly picked up, and An Lin was greeted by his sobbing voice. “Waah… Thank you for recovering Big Brother An’s voice transmission talisman! Please tell me who killed him so I can avenge him with my own four paws! Woof!”

An Lin was a little touched and he replied, “Da Bai, voice transmission talismans can’t be used by people other than their owners.”

As if he had been given a fright, Da Bai fell silent on the other end.

Immediately following this was a burst of excited howling. “Woof woof woof! Big Brother An, waah… Big Brother An isn’t dead! Woof woof!”

Xiao Chou and Xiao Hong’s voices then sounded from the other end.

“Waah… I told you both that Big Brother An wouldn’t die… How could a cockroach-like life force as powerful as his be snuffed out by a few snow maidens?!” Xiao Chou sobbed.

“My prayers to the sun must have taken effect! We can continue eating ‘stuffed buns ignored by Da Bai’ now!” Xiao Hong celebrated in a sweet voice.

“And egg fried rice!” Da Bai added.

“And all sorts of new dishes!” Xiao Chou chimed in.

“Yay!” Xiao Hong was ecstatic.

An Lin: “…”

So, it turned out that they weren’t worried about him after all…
