It was precisely because her treatment was higher than that of other maids that other people were hostile to Lin Miaomiao, unwilling to communicate with her and isolated her. Lin Miaomiao didn't care about this. It was also just that it was better to have less trouble than more. Lin Miaomiao, who didn't want to come to Ji Qingshui's house, didn't care about those rumors.

But today the topic suddenly changed. After training, Lin Miaomiao's ears became particularly sharp. When she passed by the maid's door, she was suddenly attracted by the words inside.

"Have you heard that the new maid, who seems to be Master Ji Mo's concubine, screamed so loudly last night. She is so shameless."

Another person spoke up: "I know, I heard her moaning yesterday. How shameless of her to be so loud!"

"However, this little girl is really good-looking, and she grew up with Master Ji Mo, so it's not surprising that they got together. Maybe she was raised as a concubine."

"That's right, I'm so envious. If you can get together with Master Ji Mo, you'll have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, and you'll be rich and prosperous."

This statement was refuted: "That's hard to say. After all, a concubine is a concubine, not a wife. What's more, she doesn't even have the status of a concubine now. Maybe it's just Master Ji Mo playing with her. It won't be surprising if she is abandoned when she gets old and loses her beauty."

Lin Miaomiao's good mood of the day was broken by these words. She suddenly understood what Ji Mo said last night. She walked to the kitchen with a cold face and started a busy day.

Ji Mo was fully aware of this matter. After all, the overheard sounds could not be automatically distinguished by the [Listening Tongue]. The words in the maid's room were no different from those spoken in Ji Mo's ears. Ji Mo did not care about it at all. After all, rumors became more and more outrageous as they spread, and it was impossible to stop them. Once they were stopped, people would regard them as true and spread them even more.

Ji Mo pondered and felt that it was necessary to talk to Lin Miaomiao about this topic tonight, so as to prevent her from being angered by these rumors and doing something bad.

Not long after, the sun was shining brightly, bringing a warm breeze. Lin Miaomiao, holding the dishes and chopsticks, pushed open the door of the end-of-season room with a smile on her face, put down the prepared food, and pushed the door open and left.

But he was stopped by Ji Mo. Ji Mo took Lin Miaomiao to sit on the bed, looked at her somewhat stiff smile, and said: "Miaomiao, try not to pay attention to the dirty words they say."

"I know this is difficult, but you have to try to accept it. These poor people who can't rise up and are trapped here their whole lives have no resolve to resist. They slander you because you can't fit in, can't blend into their silt. They've toiled their whole lives, suppressed and exploited by Ji Qingshui. They can only find joy in suffering and use slandering others to show how extraordinary they are."

"This is a very stupid approach, but it is indeed extremely practical for them. They have no choice. I saw a sentence in an ancient book and wanted to give it to you."

Lin Miaomiao was silent and depressed.

"Treat the suspicious eyes of others as will-o'-the-wisp, and walk your own night road boldly. No matter if they slander or insult you, don't pay attention to them. Only when you respond to their words will they think they are right. Ignore them. You are different from them. You have the right to choose, and you are not born to be tied to this place."

After hearing Ji Mo's words, Lin Miaomiao burst into laughter. Wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, she looked up at Ji Mo and said, "Master, you know a lot. I know. I'm still young, and with your support, I'll be able to cultivate the Dao soon. My future is definitely immeasurable. How could I argue with these low-level ants?"

Ji Mo nodded, gently stroked her hair, and said with a smile: "Miao Miao is the best, your talent is better than mine, and I will count on Miao Miao to protect me in the future."

"Protect...?" Lin Miaomiao's eyes lit up again. She hugged Ji Mo, put her head on his belly, and whispered, "Thank you, Master. I will definitely protect you."

Ji Mo smiled, put his arms around her neck, and hugged her like a brother and sister. After a long time, Ji Mo spoke first: "Okay, since they said so, let's go with the flow. You should stay in my room for a while from now on. We will practice together and make progress together!"

Qing Yuan clenched her fist, raised her pink fist upward, and said resolutely: "Okay! Practice hard!"

The sudden sound of "cooing" broke Lin Miaomiao's determination.

"Hey, I'm a little hungry."

Ji Mo laughed, pulled over a stool, gave half of the food to Lin Miaomiao, and the two of them started eating together.

After dinner, they sat on the bed together and began to practice.

Lin Miaomiao was like a human-shaped vortex, constantly absorbing spiritual energy from the surroundings. Ji Mo, who was sitting next to Lin Miaomiao, also ate some leftovers. The spiritual energy that Lin Miaomiao had no time to absorb was all given to Ji Mo, which greatly improved his cultivation progress.

Ji Mo couldn't help but sigh, "A genius is indeed a genius. The speed at which she absorbs spiritual energy is at least twice as fast as mine. Just by sitting next to her, I absorb 30% more spiritual energy."

"It's so terrifying." At this moment, Qing Yuan suddenly appeared in Ji Mo's sea of consciousness, holding an ancient book in his hand. On the black cover were three large characters: [Dual Cultivation Secret]. Qing Yuan grinned and shouted loudly in the sea of consciousness: "Don't miss it if you pass by. Now you can take [Dual Cultivation Secret] home for only 998 spirit stones, not 666 or 88. For the happiness of your Taoist partner and for your own realm improvement, come and buy a copy. No cheating, no cheating!"

Ji Mo's eyelids twitched, and he was speechless. [Dual Cultivation] was an old-fashioned fishing tactic, but it was said that this school was once very popular, causing the moral decline of the entire cultivation world, with men and women having sex and the moral atmosphere being corrupted to the extreme.

Ji Mo appeared in the sea of consciousness and wordlessly knocked the [Dual Cultivation Technique] from Qing Yuan's hand. His ears turned red as he shouted, "What are you doing!"

Qing Yuan squinted her eyes at Ji Mo and smiled meaningfully, "This isn't mine. I picked it up from the lake. Don't slander me."

Ji Mo's face turned even redder. In the lake, isn't that his own spirit?! The water in the lake might actually be his own memories. He had indeed been curious about these things before.

“Ahhh! This is so annoying!”

At the end of the season, he disappeared and returned to reality, no longer paying attention to the Qing Yuan that was promoting something in his sea of consciousness.

Qing Yuan smiled secretly and continued to shout loudly in her sea of consciousness. She was not afraid that Ji Mo could not hear her. This was his sea of consciousness, and everything that happened in it was clear to her. Looking at Ji Mo who was pretending to be dead, she slipped her hand, threw the [Dual Cultivation Technique] to the ground, and disappeared.

Ji Mo curled his lips, "Fishing again! I won't be fooled! I won't pick it up!"
