After the most passionate lovemaking, Yan Yuhe got up in the morning and took a bath.

After coming out of the bath, he was wearing a moon-white robe, his blue hair hanging lightly on his shoulders, with water droplets hanging on the ends of his hair, dripping along his smoothly-shaped jaw, his whole body exuding a clear and elegant temperament.

He walked to the window and opened it, letting the fresh morning air flow into the room and blowing away the lingering scent of lust in the room.

At this time, Li Wanji had woken up and was leaning against the head of the bed, holding a book in her hand with a focused expression.

"What book are you reading that makes you so engrossed?" Yan Yuhe walked over, bent down and kissed Li Wanji on the cheek, and asked casually.

Li Wanji raised her head, glanced at him, and then held up the book in her hand to show him: "Here! It's a travelogue that records the customs and practices of various places in the Great Wilderness."

"Yuhe, are you done washing?"

Yan Yuhe nodded, reached out to take the book from Li Wanji and put it aside, then pulled the quilt to wrap her up and sat down beside her.

"You must be exhausted last night, right? Rest for a while longer."

Then he put his arms around Li Wanji's waist and let her lean on his arms.

Li Wanji shook her head gently and said with a smile: "I'm fine, but you look a little tired."

"It's all your fault, Wanji, that you're too attractive. It's really hard for me to control myself these two nights." Yan Yuhe chuckled and scratched the tip of Li Wanji's nose, his eyes full of pampering.

"Shameless." Li Wanji glared at him, her cheeks slightly red.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. My clan has a lot of affairs these days, so I may not be able to accompany you. If you need anything, just tell Zhu Lian to do it."

"Well, go ahead and do your work. I will take good care of myself." Li Wanji nodded obediently to show her understanding.

This interaction is like a pair of loving Taoist lovers, but Li Wanji and Yan Yuhe both know very well that they are just a pair of allies united by interest.

It can be said that they were just pretending to be together, at most they were physically compatible, but spiritually, each of them had retained a piece of pure land and they had never truly merged.

In the following days, Yan Yuhe became busy as expected, often leaving before dawn and returning late at night.

Li Wanji stayed quietly in Yulan Palace to practice. In her spare time, she read, played the piano, and drank tea, enjoying the rare tranquility.

Occasionally, she would dine with Yan Yuhe, but more often, they ate separately. Sometimes their eyes met, and they would just smile lightly without saying much.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed.

On this day, Li Wanji was practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard of Yulan Palace. Her figure was light and her sword shone like a dragon. Every move and every style revealed her unique understanding of kendo.

Yan Yuhe came back from outside and saw this scene from afar. He stood under the corridor and watched it quietly.

Li Wanji's swordsmanship has both the softness of a woman and the sharpness of a sword, which made Yan Yuhe's eyes flash with admiration.

After finishing a set of sword techniques, Li Wanji put away her sword and stood up, only to find that Yan Yuhe was standing not far away looking at her.

"You're back." She smiled slightly, her tone calm.

"Well, seeing you were so focused on your sword practice, I am sorry to bother you."

Yan Yuhe walked to Li Wanji, his eyes lingered on her face for a moment, then turned to the sword in her hand.

"The way of swordsmanship is about the integration of the state of mind and the sword intent. Wan Ji, your sword intent is unique, but your state of mind seems to be a little stagnant."

Upon hearing this, Li Wanji shook her head slightly: "There is no fixed pattern in the way of swordsmanship. I just do what I want and let it go."

“Having said that, if you can overcome the obstacles in your state of mind, your sword skills will surely reach a higher level.” Yan Yuhe said as a long sword appeared in his hand, the sword body emitting a lively blue light.

"How about we have a competition and see if I can help you break through the blockage."

Li Wanji looked at the long sword in Yan Yuhe's hand, and a hint of interest flashed in her eyes: "Okay, then please give me some pointers, Yuhe."

As she spoke, she clenched the sword in her hand and prepared to fight.

"Watch out." Yan Yuhe suddenly shouted in a low voice, and moved his body, turning into a shadow and attacking Li Wanji.

Li Wanji reacted quickly and swung her sword to meet the attack. The two swords met in the air, making a crisp metallic collision sound.

Yan Yuhe's swordsmanship is vigorous and powerful, while Li Wanji's swordsmanship is unconventional and agile.

The two were fighting fiercely in the courtyard, with swords flashing and air currents surging.

After a fierce battle, Yan Yuhe suddenly put away his sword and stood up, smiling, "How is it, did you gain anything?"

Li Wanji also put away her sword. She looked at Yan Yuhe with a glimmer of light in her eyes: "I did gain something. Thank you very much."

Yan Yuhe shook his head and said with a smile: "Wan Ji, there is no need for us to thank each other. Besides, you have an excellent talent in swordsmanship. If you can break the shackles of your state of mind, your future achievements will definitely surpass mine."

"Yes, Yuhe, I've got it in mind."

The two stood side by side, looking at the sword flowers falling in the courtyard. The atmosphere was harmonious and peaceful.

"Yuhe, why are you here so early today?"

Yan Yuhe turned his head to look at Li Wanji and said softly, "Let's finish the affairs of the clan earlier today, and come back earlier to accompany Wanji."

"Have you had your meal?" Li Wanji asked.

"Not yet." Yan Yuhe shook his head.

"That's perfect. I haven't had my meal yet. Let's have our meal together." Li Wanji said, turning and walking into the hall.

Yan Yuhe smiled slightly and followed her. The two walked into the hall together. Zhu Lian had already arranged the meal and was waiting for them.

The table was filled with delicious food. Yan Yuhe looked at the dishes and said to Li Wanji with a smile, "It seems that we are in for a treat today."

Li Wanji chuckled and nodded, and the two sat opposite each other and began to eat.

"Wanji, I have good news to tell you!" Suddenly, Yan Yuhe put down his chopsticks and looked at Li Wanji excitedly.

"Oh? What good news?" Li Wanji looked up at him with curiosity in her eyes.

"Master Canglanzi will return from his travels on the fifth day of next month. You can seize the opportunity to send your child to become his disciple!"

Li Wanji heard this and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Really? That's great!"

"I have written a letter to Master Canglanzi, and he agreed to meet the child. But whether he will agree to accept me as a disciple depends on the child's qualifications and fate," Yan Yuhe added.

"In any case, this is an excellent opportunity and we will seize it." Li Wanji looked at Yan Yuhe gratefully.

"Wanji, you have done so much for that child. She is your biological sister?" Yan Yuhe looked at Li Wanji with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"No, my daughter." Li Wanji said in a calm voice.

Yan Yuhe was shocked, but she didn't show it at all: "So she is my biological daughter, no wonder Wan Ji is so concerned about her."

"So... Wan Ji is already married?"

Yan Yuhe didn't know what was wrong with him. He unexpectedly wanted to inquire about Li Wanji's private affairs.
