Chapter 1443: Chapter 1444: Achun, You Have Achieved a Great Feat_1

Ding Guangji chuckled and patted Leng Bin on the shoulder, ”Is this your own idea, or is it your lady’s idea?”

Leng Bin belched from the alcohol, ”My idea, what about it?”

”You don’t want to marry Zepei yourself, do you?” Lin Xufei joked.

Everyone burst into laughter.

Bai Zepei’s smile faded a bit, not because he disliked others joking about him, but because he suddenly thought of his once best friend.

The man who could use decoy strategies to keep deceiving them, the man who hid beside them for the sake of the Prince.

If it were not for the Prince, could he also have been listed in the successful candidates by now?

Jiang Yichun was in an exceptionally good mood today, drinking a bit too much at the banquet, and in the end, he was unsteadily escorted back to the yard by Chenfeng and Muyu.

They briefly helped him rinse and then guided him to lie down in bed.

Jiang Yichun fell into a deep sleep, while at the same time, Bai Ruozhu was still sleeping sweetly in the ear room; she was truly exhausted.

As the night grew quiet, Bai Ruozhu’s eyelashes fluttered like two black butterflies taking flight. Finally, she woke up.

Rubbing her sore back, she pouted and got up, followed immediately by a grumbling sound from her belly—it was calling out in hunger!

She got up to look for clothes and found them all torn, as if new garments were already placed at the head of the bed; looking down at the marks on her body, her mouth puckered even higher.

That darn man was messing around again! Far from forcing her to sleep, he clearly wanted to satisfy his own private desires! She was nearly torn apart by him!

Outside, Jianqi heard some noise and asked in a low voice, ”Master, are you awake?”

”Mhm, what time is it now?” Bai Ruozhu responded, hastening her dressing.

”The young master ordered that you should have bird’s nest porridge once you wake up, I’ll fetch it for you.” Jianqi disappeared after speaking, but quickly reappeared outside the room with a steaming bowl of bird’s nest porridge in hand.

Bai Ruozhu, truly famished, got dressed and opened the door, allowing Jianqi to bring in the porridge.

She also noticed that it was still dark outside.

”How long have I slept?” Bai Ruozhu wrinkled her nose, sensing she had slept for quite a while.

”A whole day, I guess,” Jianqi answered.

Bai Ruozhu suddenly sprang up, ”What did you say? Does that mean two days have passed? How could this be!”

There were only three days to begin with, no clues in sight, how could she afford to waste a whole day sleeping? She felt like hitting her head a few times, and also felt like giving the man who made her sleep for a whole day a severe beating.

”Master, drink your porridge first,” urged Jianqi.

With her stomach grumbling, Bai Ruozhu could only suppress her anger and start drinking the bird’s nest porridge, then she said to Jianqi, ”I’m alright now, you should also go rest. Don’t keep watch these few nights, get your strength back.”

”Yes,” Jianqi bowed and retreated.

The Bird’s Nest Porridge was stewed to perfection, the rice grains melting in the mouth while the bird’s nest retained its soft smoothness without disintegrating, it appeared that the kitchen staff had spared no effort in preparing it for her awakening.

She quickly finished a bowl of porridge, and her stomach began to feel comfortable, warming her entire being. She sat down cross-legged and continued to practice her Heart Method.

Time was running out, and she could only make one last attempt.

She couldn’t describe how nervous she was, but having just eaten, she surprisingly felt a bit drowsy—not quite the state for cultivating Heart Method.

But what could she do when her eyelids were constantly fighting to close? Just as she was in a state of half-consciousness, she suddenly felt a fine stream of Qi flowing into her body.

She was instantly startled awake, silently reciting the National Master’s Heart Method incantations, and that fine stream of Qi continued to pour into her body unceasingly!

She almost jumped up in excitement—it was the essence Ning Yu had spoken of, she had mastered the National Master’s Heart Method!

Could it be that she had failed to succeed previously because both her body and mind were too exhausted and she was extremely tense, unlike her current state of relaxation? Or was it because she had reached the brink of fatigue and after resting well upon waking, she was more receptive to the mysteries of the Heart Method?

She couldn’t pinpoint the reason, but she knew that Achun had inadvertently provided her with a huge favor this time.

Thinking of his wild and domineering behavior, her face involuntarily flushed with heat, and she nearly lost her concentration on the Heart Method. She dared not be careless and focused on cultivating earnestly.

When the dawn was breaking, Jiang Yichun got up to check on her and saw her still sitting cross-legged, his eyes reflecting a hint of distress. He was about to attend the morning court session, and he did not want to return and see her worn out and crazed.

Suddenly, Bai Ruozhu opened her eyes, and they were black and bright, even more spiritually energized than before.

She looked at him spiritedly and with a mischievous smile said, ”Achun, you’ve really outdone yourself this time.”

Jiang Yichun was momentarily unable to react and took a few seconds to realize that she had succeeded in her practice!

He rushed over to her, picked her up in his arms, and held her tightly, his voice hoarse as he said, ”If it’s that useful, we should hurry and do it again, right?”

Bai Ruozhu blushed and pinched him on the waist, ”I knew I shouldn’t have praised you. I meant that after a good night’s sleep and relaxation, I was able to cultivate the Heart Method. Now go, hurry to the court session, and I must go to the Astrology Tower to find Ning Yu.”

He set her down gently, ”Alright, let’s go out together.”

She stood on tiptoe and pecked his cheek, ”Wait until I’m done with my work, then I’ll settle the score with you properly!”

Jiang Yichun laughed, his gaze filled with indulgence as he looked at her, ”Okay, I’m all yours to deal with as you wish.”

For some reason, his words sounded somewhat suggestive. Bai Ruozhu’s face turned red again, and she hurriedly pushed him to wash up. Soon, they were both ready and left the house together.

Possibly because she was imbued with essence or because a heavy burden had been lifted from her heart, Bai Ruozhu felt especially spirited. She wanted to hurry and tell Ning Yu, then learn the next steps of the practice, so she could stabilize Diao Bin’s condition smoothly.

When they arrived at the entrance of the Astrology Tower, the little boy had not yet woken up. Bai Ruozhu called for a long time before she was able to enter the tower and headed straight for Ning Yu’s room.

”Ning Yu, are you awake yet? I’ve mastered the Heart Method!” Bai Ruozhu knocked on the door while excitedly speaking.

However, there was no movement inside the room. Bai Ruozhu’s heart tightened. Ning Yu shouldn’t be sleeping so deeply, should he? Otherwise, wouldn’t he have shown some reaction after knowing she had mastered the Heart Method?

With no time to spare, she pushed the door open and rushed in, only to see Ning Yu not in bed but collapsed near the bedside, still dressed in his outdoor clothes, likely having passed out before he could sleep.

”Ning Yu, wake up!” Bai Ruozhu called out anxiously. The young servant rushed in, his face turning pale with shock, ”What happened to young master? He was fine last night before going to bed, it’s not a serious illness, is it?”
