15: A wise person knows when to yield.Sure enough, the next moment, Ye Linglong’s figure appeared before his eyes.

She threw herself into Cao Bu’s arms.

”I’ve found it all out,” she said, tilting her little face up to claim credit.

Cao Bu was somewhat surprised. ”It’s been less than an hour, how are you so fast?”

Ye Linglong blinked triumphantly. ”With money and power, why wouldn’t it be fast?”

”Tell me in detail,” Cao Bu said seriously.

Ye Linglong put away her playful expression and said sternly, ”I directly searched the souls of those auction house managers and discovered that the people who caught her are still in Azure Dragon City.”

”After finding them, I searched their souls again. From their memories, this woman threatened them with her identity as the Saintess of the Jade Maiden Sect, and she actually managed to bluff them.”

”Although I didn’t go to the Jade Maiden Sect to verify, it shouldn’t be fake.”

She paused and added, ”As for whether she is the Ninth Elder’s spy, that is hard to determine.”

Cao Bu pondered for a moment, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

”As long as she was obtained by the Ninth Elder through auction, that’s enough. Even if she is a spy, she isn’t that loyal to the Ninth Elder. Watch how your husband pries her over.”

Ye Linglong blinked curiously. ”What will you use to pry her over?”

Cao Bu smiled evilly. ”Just watch.”

As he finished speaking, he straightened his robes and shouted outside the door, ”Someone come here!”

Seeing this, Ye Linglong’s figure gradually merged into Cao Bu’s shadow.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps and responses came from outside the room immediately.

”Please give your orders, Hall Master!”

Cao Bu rose and pulled the door open.

Standing outside the door were several guards and a Maidservant, but the Saintess of the Jade Maiden Sect was nowhere to be seen.

He frowned, scanned the area with his gaze, and finally landed on the doorway of the empty room next to it.

The woman in white stood there quietly, her eyes meeting his with a blank expression.

Cao Bu immediately felt displeased.

This woman, could she really think she came here to enjoy herself?

The woman in white blinked, then suddenly realized what was happening. She hurriedly trotted over, lowered her head, and shrank to the very back of the crowd, not daring to even breathe loudly.

She had heard Cao Bu calling for people clearly just now, but she hadn’t adapted to her new identity yet, which caused this awkward scene.

Cao Bu couldn’t be bothered with nonsense and directly pointed a finger. ”You stay, the rest of you go do what you need to do.”

”Yes, Hall Master!”

Seeing that there was nothing for them to do, the guards and Maidservants quickly bowed and retreated.

In the blink of an eye, only Cao Bu and the bowing woman in white remained.

”Raise your head.”

Cao Bu’s voice was neither loud nor soft, but it carried an irresistible tone.

The woman in white’s body stiffened visibly, and only then did she slowly raise her head, her eyes darting around, not daring to meet Cao Bu’s gaze.

Cao Bu looked down at her, his gaze sweeping back and forth across her face.

”Not bad.”

He nodded with satisfaction. ”As expected of a Saintess of the Jade Maiden Sect, you are indeed beautiful.”

Hearing this, the woman in white’s body visibly trembled, and a flash of panic crossed her face.

She knew all too well what this tone meant; the thing she feared most was finally going to happen.

Fortunately, she had already mentally prepared herself, and she wasn’t particularly resistant in her heart.

If she had to be chiseled by someone, it might as well be someone with a special status like Cao Bu.

However, thinking of how she was a dignified Saintess of the Jade Maiden Sect, an existence that attracted attention wherever she went.

Now she had to serve others in such a subservient manner.

She couldn’t help but feel a wave of bitterness in her heart.

”This must be fate.”

She sighed faintly in her heart, forcing herself to adjust her mindset.

”What is your name?” Cao Bu’s voice deepened a little.

”Yan Ruyu.” Her voice was cold and pleasant, very comfortable to listen to.

”Yan Ruyu.” Cao Bu repeated the name playfully. ”The person is indeed like the name.”

He waved his hand casually. ”Go to the bathroom and tidy up; this Hall Master wants to bathe in a while.”

Yan Ruyu caught a glimpse of the door labeled ’Bathhouse’ not far away, and her nails dug into her palms involuntarily.

She lowered her eyelids, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible. ”Yes, Master.”

As she finished speaking, she clutched the corners of her clothes with both hands and walked toward the bathroom with small, hurried steps.

With every step she took, her heart beat faster.

Cao Bu stared at her slender back, his gaze lingering on her delicate waist.

Before long, the bathroom was filled with steam.

”Mas... Master, the hot water is ready. If there are no other orders, this servant will take her leave.”

Yan Ruyu lowered her head, her voice very small, and she wanted to leave as soon as she finished speaking.

The mental preparation she had done just moments ago completely collapsed at this moment.

She only felt her heart beating like a drum, and a layer of fine sweat beads seeped from her palms.

”Stop!”

Cao Bu shouted coldly.

Yan Ruyu’s delicate body trembled, and the half-step she had taken was forcibly pulled back.

She clutched her clothes tightly, her cheeks burning red.

It’s over.

It’s really over.

”Come over and undress me,” Cao Bu commanded.

Yan Ruyu froze in place. When she felt that cold gaze piercing her, she bit her lip and slowly stepped forward.

Her slender fingers trembled as she untied the sash, and as the outer robe and inner garments slipped off one by one, her face grew redder and redder.

Seeing this, Cao Bu couldn’t help but chuckle. ”What? A dignified Saintess can be shy too?”

After saying this, he ignored her and stepped into the bath on his own.

The warm water flowed over his body, and he leaned comfortably against the edge of the pool, closing his eyes to rest.

”Come here and scrub my back,” Cao Bu ordered lazily.

Seeing that most of Cao Bu’s body was submerged in the water, Yan Ruyu breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She hesitated for a moment, then finally picked up the bath towel on the side and walked over, moving lightly and carefully.

The bathroom was quiet, with only the sound of water gently rippling.

”Has the Ninth Elder given you any instructions?”

Cao Bu suddenly spoke, startling Yan Ruyu so much that her hand shook.

Her movements stalled, but she quickly returned to normal.

Just as she was about to answer, Cao Bu added slowly, ”Think carefully before you speak; you only have one chance.”

Unknown to her, a sharp dagger was nimbly flipping between his fingers, its cold light flickering in the steam.

Yan Ruyu looked at Cao Bu, who was still resting with his eyes closed, and swallowed involuntarily.

She was at the Peak of the Dharma Body Realm, while Cao Bu was only at the Heavenly Bridge Realm; logically, he shouldn’t make her feel afraid at all.

But at this moment, a layer of fine cold sweat had already broken out on her back.

A woman’s intuition told her that a terrifying demon was definitely hidden inside this man before her.

She did not know that Cao Bu was secretly operating the Thousand Illusions Formless Art, intentionally releasing a trace of a terrifying Demonic Path expert’s aura.

He had seen a true giant of the Demonic Path back then, and he still remembered that suffocating sense of oppression vividly.

So he applied that kind of aura here.

Time passed minute by minute.

Fine beads of sweat seeped from Yan Ruyu’s forehead, and the struggle within her made her almost unable to breathe.

Finally, after a long silence, she bit her lower lip, her voice trembling. ”The Ninth Elder told me to monitor your every move.”

The dagger in Cao Bu’s hand suddenly stopped, the sharp blade reflecting a cold light.

He still kept his eyes closed, but the corners of his mouth hooked into a playful smile. ”Oh, continue.”

Yan Ruyu felt her throat tighten, and her fingertips twisted the bath towel involuntarily. ”The Ninth Elder wants me to record your whereabouts every day; whoever you meet, I must report to him.”

She stared nervously at Cao Bu’s handsome profile, her heart pounding.

She didn’t know if Cao Bu would kill her, but all she could do now was confess honestly.

Cao Bu suddenly opened his eyes, a dangerous light flashing in his pitch-black pupils. ”What else?”

Yan Ruyu’s brain turned rapidly, and finally, she shook her head. ”Nothing else, that’s all. He doesn’t seem to be particularly concerned about you, Master; he just wants me to report when I have time.”

Cao Bu stared at her with a half-smile. ”Really nothing else?”

Yan Ruyu’s heart rate accelerated; she recalled the events of the past few days again and shook her head once more. ”Really nothing else.”

Cao Bu nodded and put away the dagger.

”What is your status now?”

Yan Ruyu quickly answered, ”I am a slave, and you are my Master.”

Cao Bu asked, ”Do you have any other status?”

Yan Ruyu shook her head. ”No.”

Cao Bu smiled with satisfaction. ”The wise adapt to circumstances; you did well.”

Yan Ruyu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the sense of oppression from just a moment ago suddenly vanished.

The Cao Bu before her seemed to have turned back into that waste at the Heavenly Bridge Realm.

She was a bit confused, not understanding why she had been so afraid of Cao Bu just now; it was truly strange.

Suddenly.

An invisible force suddenly pulled her into Cao Bu’s arms.

She looked up in panic, meeting those bottomless black eyes.

”Mas... Master?” Her voice trembled, her heart pounding non-stop.

Cao Bu’s fingertips grazed her delicate collarbone, his voice low. ”Since you are my slave, you should properly fulfill your duties.”

Yan Ruyu’s heart rate accelerated; she lowered her gaze and replied in a low voice, ”Yes, Master.”
