At this moment, the youth was accompanied by two stunningly beautiful women on each side, drawing even more attention. Both women possessed exceptional beauty and noble temperament. As soon as they walked onto the street, they immediately caught the gaze of many.

"So, this is Qingyun Town, huh? Little thief, did you grow up here when you were a child?" Yun Hongling immediately started chattering upon arriving in Qingyun Town.

"Lin'er grew up here when he was a child, but I remember that Lin'er rarely came out to play when he was a child," Li Wushuang said softly.

Looking at the streets of Qingyun Town, Li Lin couldn't help but smile. After half a month, he had finally arrived in Qingyun Town. Thinking that he would be able to see his mother soon, Li Lin was somewhat excited.

A moment later, the Li residence was in sight. The continuous stretch of buildings also attested to the Li family's status in Qingyun Town. In the entire Lingwu Continent, the Li family might not amount to much, but in Qingyun Town, the Li family was a different story.

"We're finally here," Li Lin said softly, looking at the familiar Li residence ahead.

"Wushuang sister, please check if my face is dirty. Is this okay?" Yun Hongling immediately asked Li Wushuang, feeling a bit nervous upon seeing the Li residence.

"Don't worry, Auntie will definitely like you," Li Wushuang said with a smile, teasing Yun Hongling for her nervous appearance, but her gaze soon turned to Li Lin, showing her own nervousness.

"Let's go, we're heading back," Li Lin smiled at Li Wushuang, and then the three of them headed towards the Li residence.

Outside the Li family's courtyard, the gate was open, and several servants came out carrying brooms and buckets.

"Make sure to clean the entrance and the beams above more thoroughly," a youth with a somewhat sneaky look, dressed in the attire of the Li family's chief steward, was directing several servants to clean the entrance. From his attire, it was clear he was one of the high-ranking stewards of the Li family. This sneaky-looking steward, known to everyone in the Li family as Steward Li Xiaobai, was also a well-known figure in Qingyun Town for a simple reason: because Li Xiaobai was formidable.

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. This saying definitely held true in Qingyun Town. Young masters, noble ladies, and servants all had their own circles of life. Servants would often gather together when they had time to chat about who had the highest salary, which family had the prettiest maids, and their masters' quirks and flaws. It was perfectly normal for servants from major families to know each other.

With many people, conflicts were inevitable. With conflicts, fights were unavoidable. Three years ago, Li Xiaobai was always the one being bullied, but at some point, no one dared to bully him anymore. He could incapacitate someone with just one move.

Half a year ago, a servant from the Yang family, one of the five major families, suffered a loss. This servant had a good relationship with his master and even brought his master to seek revenge. This master from the Yang family had the strength of a fourth-level martial artist.

A fourth-level martial artist was considered a strong individual in a small town like Qingyun Town. It's unclear what they were thinking to seek revenge for their servant. The Yang family's servant brought his master to confront Li Xiaobai on the street boldly.

In front of everyone, Li Xiaobai incapacitated the Yang family's fourth-level martial artist with just one move, leaving him bedridden for a month. The dozen or so servants accompanying the Yang family member were all beaten severely by an enraged Li Xiaobai, with several suffering broken arms and legs.

A servant from the Li family taking down a fourth-level martial artist from the Yang family instantly made Li Xiaobai famous. Afterwards, the Yang family dared not provoke the Li family, which had three direct disciples from the Yunyang Sect. The Yang family could not afford to offend them.

After this incident, Li Xiaobai became a celebrity in Qingyun Town. Somehow, the day after the incident, Li Xiaobai was promoted to a high-ranking steward in the Li family, basically having authority over most matters in the family. Even some of the Li family's side branch members did not hold as high a status as Li Xiaobai.

"Hurry up, this area is still not clean. The young master will be returning soon, so make sure everything is clean," Li Xiaobai shouted.

"Steward Xiaobai, I heard the young master is a direct disciple of the Yunyang Sect. Is that true or false?" a servant asked enviously.

"Of course, the young master even represented the Yunyang Sect at the Three Sects and Four Gates Conference. When the young master returns, I'll introduce you to him," Li Xiaobai said proudly.

"Steward Xiaobai, just now, Qiuju from the neighboring Qin family came looking for you, but she didn't find you. She asked me to tell you to remember the appointment after dusk, under the willow tree when the moon rises," a younger servant told Li Xiaobai.

"Qiuju, is she the maid of the third young miss from the Qin family?" Li Xiaobai's beady eyes seemed to be trying to recall.

"Steward Xiaobai, you remembered wrong. Qiuju is the maid of the second young miss from the Qin family," the servant corrected him immediately: "Congratulations, Steward Xiaobai. Qiuju is quite beautiful. I heard many people are interested in her, but it seems she has a special affection for you."

"You silly hammer," Li Xiaobai suddenly glared, his index finger bent, and the knuckle protruded, immediately landing on the servant's head, producing a crisp sound.

"Steward Xiaobai, what did I say wrong?" the servant touched his head, feeling wronged, not understanding how he had offended Steward Xiaobai.

"Look at you, what kind of ambition is that? Am I, Steward Xiaobai, someone who would be interested in a maid? The young master once said, if you're going to woo, woo a lady of wealth. Let me tell you, I'm interested in their second young miss, not that Qiuju. I'm going to marry a lady of wealth in the future, no, I misspoke, I'm going to marry seven ladies of wealth, a different one for each day of the week, without any repeats," Li Xiaobai said arrogantly, echoing the teachings of his young master.

"Thud!"

A crisp sound came from the back of Li Xiaobai's head.

"Who hit me..." As Li Xiaobai turned around, a voice said, "Look at you, trying to bully others and already hooking up with a lady of wealth."

Li Xiaobai turned around in anger, only to be stunned upon seeing the figure behind him, his small eyes widening by half, and he opened his mouth several times without being able to speak.

"What, I hit you, and you want to hit me back? You've really grown up, even becoming a high-ranking steward," Li Lin's figure appeared before Li Xiaobai, smiling slightly.

"Young master, how come you're back? I've missed you so much," Li Xiaobai finally regained his senses, immediately rushing forward.

"Haha, did you not want me to return?" Li Lin laughed, and the two men hugged each other.

Watching this scene, Yun Hongling found it somewhat strange. This little thief and Qu Daojue and the others didn't seem to have such a good relationship. She curiously observed Li Xiaobai.

"Young master, let's go inside. The madam has been mentioning you these past few days. My ears are almost calloused," the two men separated, and Li Xiaobai immediately said, his face full of excitement.

"Xiaobai, seeing your young master, you can't even see me anymore?" Li Wushuang's voice came.

"Miss, you're back too. I was so excited to see the young master just now. Greetings, Miss," Li Xiaobai only then noticed Li Wushuang, immediately bowing, but his gaze was captivated by Yun Hongling beside Li Wushuang.

Not just Li Xiaobai, but several servants around them were also staring at Li Wushuang and Yun Hongling, utterly shocked. These servants seemed to be new to the Li family and did not recognize Li Wushuang. Such two incredibly beautiful women made them only able to regard them as goddesses in their hearts.

"You guys, quickly greet the young master and the miss," after observing Yun Hongling, Li Xiaobai immediately introduced Li Lin to the servants behind him: "This is the most wise and brave young master I've told you about."

"Gah..." Li Lin felt as if a crow flew through his mind, breaking out in cold sweat, wishing he could kick Li Xiaobai a few times, but what could he do? He had asked him to explain it like that.

"Greetings, young master, greetings, miss," the servants greeted with a hint of panic.

"Young master, this miss is...?" Li Xiaobai asked again, looking at Yun Hongling, seemingly guessing something.

"Why ask so many questions? Hurry and take me inside," Li Lin glared at Li Xiaobai.

"Hehe," Li Xiaobai chuckled, saying, "Let's go, young master. The madam will be very happy to see you back."

The four of them then entered the gate. Li Xiaobai seemed to remember something, immediately telling a servant outside: "Zhao Xiaohu, go to the Qin family and tell that Qiuju, tell her second young miss, I won't be able to make it tonight, I'm not going out."

"I heard the miss is also a direct disciple of the Yunyang Sect, with a status even higher than the heads of the families in Qingyun Town."

"The miss is so beautiful, like a fairy."

"The lady in green beside her is the same, I've never seen someone so beautiful before."
