“With the high-grade Water Blade Sword, once you reach the second level of Qi Condensation, big brother, you can try Sword Flight.”
“Sister, thank you, big brother.”
Lin Jinyu took the flying sword, with mixed feelings, a thousand words could not express his gratitude as much as a warm embrace.
He hugged his beloved younger sister, expressing his sincerest thanks.
Lin Qingluo entirely enjoyed her brother’s love and took the opportunity to make a small request with a smile: “Big brother, after the New Year, accompany Mother back to Jinling and help me with a favor. Meet someone for me.”
“Who?”
Lin Jinyu released his sister, his handsome brows showing a hint of seriousness.
“One of my younger brothers.”
Lin Qingluo grinned slyly: “His name is Li Yunxiu, a student at Cloud Pine Academy. When you meet him, ask him for something on my behalf, and he will naturally know what it is.”
“How should I give it to you once I have it?”
Lin Jinyu’s eyes flickered upon hearing the words ‘younger brother’, subconsciously raising his guard against potential wolves.
His little sister was only thirteen years old; he must watch her closely.
He couldn’t let those impure-minded brats get too close.
“Send a message with the little hawk, that should be enough for it to return.”
Lin Qingluo didn’t know that her brother’s thoughts had already turned eighteen corners in an instant, and she smiled with her eyes curved, looking extremely cute.
“Alright.”
Lin Jinyu nodded with a smile, looking at his adorable little sister, Yuxue, and was even more determined in his thoughts.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Fluttering Snow Residence was decorated with lanterns and colored streamers, filled with festive joy.
The eldest legitimate grandson of the Lin Clan wore a red wedding suit and, accompanied by six handsome and extraordinary brothers, rode a tall steed towards the bamboo house to welcome his bride.
The lively and bustling wedding processions played music, danced with dragons, and danced with lions.
Children chased each other on both sides of the procession, their laughter and enjoyment echoing throughout the valley.
The wedding procession arrived at the bamboo house, and Feng Yi carried his sister onto the bridal sedan. Lady Feng cried tears of joy, using a handkerchief to wipe her tears, turning into a tear-streaked person.
When the bridal sedan returned to Fluttering Snow Residence, the couple paid respects to heaven and earth and their ancestors in front of their friends and relatives. They bowed to each other as husband and wife, completed the rituals, and were sent to the bridal chamber.
Old Master and Duke of Zhen were so happy that their beards curled up, while Duchess of Zhen laughed so hard her eyes squinted into slits.
Lin Xiaoyang and Ye Xue’e were filled with pride as they looked at their handsome and extraordinary son.
The Fluttering Snow Residence was full of festivity and excitement.
A completely different scene played out in the Capital City thousands of miles away.
*
Imperial Palace, Empress’s sleeping chambers.
“Hmph!”
The Empress read the secret letter, furious, and smashed the teacup onto the ground with force.
“Your Majesty, Duke of Zhen’s residence colluded with the enemy and committed treason according to conclusive evidence.”
Imperial Guard Commander Lu Gui’s eyes flashed fiercely: “Please allow an imperial decree to arrest the rebels and confiscate their property.”
“Your Majesty.”
Xu Ruyun was secretly anxious, stepping forward and kneeling on one knee: “The emergence of this secret letter is too suspicious; please allow your humble servant to thoroughly investigate this matter to avoid falling into the trap of villainous schemers.”
“Commander Xu.”
Lu Gui sternly questioned: “The secret letter was written by the Beiqi Monarch himself, with the Imperial Succession Jade Seal on it. How could it be fake?”
“Even so, a single secret letter is not enough to convict someone.”
Xu Ruyun argued with reason: “The Beiqi Monarch offered Duke of Zhen heavy bribes, but it doesn’t imply that Duke of Zhen accepted the terms and colluded with the enemies.”
“Hmph.”
Lu Gui sneered coldly: “Duke of Zhen moved his family away from Capital City without the Empress’s permission, which is tantamount to treason. If he had nothing to hide, why would he do this?”
“This…”
Xu Ruyun choked, her forehead breaking out in cold sweat.
