“But don’t worry, Saintess. I’ll go find some spiritual herbs to nourish yin, strengthen kidneys, and boost vitality. I guarantee that after you take them, Saintess, you’ll be able to revel in pleasure for seven nights straight, for seven days.” Wang Qiu’er thumped her chest, as if ready to sacrifice everything for the Saintess.
Upon hearing Wang Qiu’er’s words, Luo Bingli nearly fainted from anger. ‘I could last eighty-one days straight before taking your medicine,’ she thought. ‘And now, after your medicine, it’s shortened? What kind of medicine did you give me that only allows for seven days? No, why is Wang Qiu’er saying such things here? Isn’t she afraid others will hear?’
She glared fiercely at Wang Qiu’er, then glanced at that appealing peach-shaped backside, before placing a hand over her heart and continuously calming herself. Her current objective wasn’t to get angry with this lackey, Wang Qiu’er, but to find Ye Xiaozi as quickly as possible.
Seeing this, Wang Qiu’er instinctively shrank her neck, realizing she had spoken out of turn.
The Deaconess in the distance, meanwhile, was filled with dread. She couldn’t help but wonder, ‘Is this kind of gossip something a small fry like me should know?’

A long while later, Luo Bingli finally recovered. This situation wasn’t entirely unexpected. After all, Ye Xiaozi could very well be a nickname, much like Little Red, Little Yellow, Little Flower, or Little Green. Perhaps her real name wasn’t Xiaozi, but something else entirely.
The sect’s roster, however, was meant to follow a disciple throughout their life. This included the creation of soul lamps after becoming an inner disciple. Using a false name could lead to significant trouble once one reached the inner sect.
Furthermore, the sect employed certain methods when recording information, ensuring that the names listed were always true names, not mere nicknames.
In the early stages of the plot, Ye Xiaozi wasn’t described much. Luo Bingli only knew that in the story, Ye Xiaozi caused her some trouble from the shadows, only to be thrown off a cliff by Luo Bingli. Afterwards, she became known as Ye Qingcheng and left the Hundred Flowers Palace.
Given that her surname remained Ye both before and after, there was a ninety-nine percent chance her true surname was indeed Ye. Otherwise, why would she not change her surname later? It was likely that the surname Ye held some special significance for her.
Considering this, Luo Bingli recalled the disciple information stored in her mind. There were a total of three hundred forty-seven disciples with the surname Ye.
Taking out a fresh jade slip, Luo Bingli meticulously engraved all three hundred-plus disciples with the surname Ye onto it.
Just as she was about to leave, she paused to ponder. After a moment, Luo Bingli copied all the new disciple jade slips as well before finally departing.
Before she left, she cast a meaningful glance at Wang Qiu’er, signaling her to handle the aftermath. Only then did she truly depart.
Once Luo Bingli was gone, Wang Qiu’er’s usual swagger—the aura of ‘my boss isn’t here’—returned. She promptly patted the Deaconess’s backside, startling the young woman into frantically chanting, “I heard nothing, I saw nothing. I heard nothing, I saw nothing.”
“Hmph, that’s more like it. Remember, if I hear about today’s events from anyone else, what awaits you will be far worse than death.” In that moment, Wang Qiu’er perfectly embodied the theatrical villainy of a loyal lackey.
“W-worse than… than death?” The Deaconess’s voice trembled uncontrollably.
“Exactly. I’ll send you to those seniors with peculiar fetishes as a sect ‘benefit,’ letting them torment you to death. Hehe, I bet you’ve seen plenty of those pictures, haven’t you? Let me tell you a secret: those things are all based on true stories!”
‘Hiss…’ The Deaconess gasped, immediately begging for mercy. “I know nothing, I heard nothing, I saw nothing.”
“Hmph!” Wang Qiu’er snorted, then nodded approvingly. “Good, you’re very ambitious. I hope you remember my words.”
With both of them successively leaving, the Deaconess finally let out a long sigh of relief, only daring to poke her head out from under the table after a considerable pause.
After tidying up and erasing all traces of the Saintess’s ‘activities,’ she breathed a complete sigh of relief. It was fortunate this place was specifically for managing disciple information, not for posting tasks. Otherwise, if anyone had discovered it, wouldn’t she be completely ruined?
Just thinking about the blood-pumping, yet somewhat unrealistic, movements depicted in those pictures sent a chill down the Deaconess’s spine. It turned out those were all adapted from real stories.
‘Hiss…’

For cultivators, even the faintest memory is clearer and more profound than a mortal’s deepest recollection. This is because as one’s cultivation improves, so does their spiritual power.
Upon receiving the list of over three hundred disciples with the surname Ye, Luo Bingli immediately returned to her residence.
Although Bai Rusui had given gifts to hundreds of new disciples, the scope had now narrowed. The jade slip also contained portraits of these new disciples. All she needed was for Bai Rusui to identify those she had given gifts to among the Ye-surnamed individuals.
At worst, she could just parade Bai Rusui past each suspect when the time came.
And so, upon returning to the residence, Bai Rusui, like a doting concubine, immediately clung to her. “Sister, how was it? Did you find anything during your outing?”
Luo Bingli nodded. “Indeed, I made some progress. Unfortunately, the sect’s records don’t have anyone named Ye Xiaozi. However, her surname should definitely be Ye. So, take a look at these people and see if you gave gifts to any of them.” With that, Luo Bingli handed the jade slip to Bai Rusui.
Bai Rusui took the jade slip, glanced at it, blinked her beautiful eyes, and then suddenly shook her head. “Sorry, I can’t remember!”
“What?” Luo Bingli stared at Bai Rusui in shock, though it was clear from her expression that she was lying.
Taking a deep breath, Luo Bingli suppressed the urge to pin Bai Rusui to the bed and spank her. She said solemnly, “Rusui, this matter is truly important to me, your sister. If you know, please tell me.”
“Hmph, I think you’re just looking for a new person, Sister, and this is just an excuse! You were clearly so enamored with my figure just a short while ago. Otherwise, how could things have changed so much in just one day? I really have forgotten!” With that, Bai Rusui haughtily turned her head away, looking utterly jealous.
However, what she was truly thinking remained unknown to others.
“You… Since you’re not being obedient, don’t blame your sister for bullying you!” Luo Bingli’s fists hardened in that moment. ‘Fine, you don’t know, do you? You’ve forgotten, have you?’ Recalling Bai Rusui’s stubborn nature, Luo Bingli made up her mind.
‘Today, I’ll make sure you remember just why the flowers are so red.’
“Spirit Touch!”
