Chapter 281: Snow Maiden: Call me Snow’er! Mirror Lake Medical Villa!
The Feixue Pavilion has disbanded.
So sudden!
Or it can be said in another way.
The Feixue Pavilion has just moved to another location.
“Are you really planning to go with us to the Qin State, Miss Snow Maiden?”
Inside the carriage, Fei Yan smiled lightly, looking at the Snow Maiden who was sitting by the window and peeking outside.
The carriage stopped at the door of the Feixue Pavilion.
Disciples inside the pavilion were packing their bags in preparation for relocation.
The Snow Maiden initially wanted to leave with those disciples, but Li Mo invited her to travel together with him.
“Lord Yan Chun has retreated this time solely because the National Advisor is here.”
“If you leave, there’s no guarantee that he won’t have such thoughts again.”
“It’s better to leave this place; the Feixue Pavilion is famous everywhere, no matter where it opens.”
The Moon Goddess gave her a sidelong glance without showing any emotion.
She said quietly, “He wouldn’t dare.”
Since Lord Yan Chun had seen the Snow Maiden and Li Mo sleeping in the same bed, he definitely wouldn’t dare to have designs on the Snow Maiden again in the future.
The Moon Goddess thought the Snow Maiden’s reasoning was somewhat flimsy.
The Snow Maiden lowered her head and scratched her forehead.
It felt a bit awkward.
How could the people of the Yin-Yang School seem to see through others’ thoughts?
Fei Yan looked at her with a smile that was not quite a smile and gently said, “Going to the Qin State is fine. By the way, I heard that the Snow Maiden will no longer perform.”
Fei Yan was aware of Qin State’s ambition for the entire world.
Now that Zhao State has fallen.
It won’t be long before the other countries also ignite with war.
Naturally, the Yan State would not be spared either.
When the flames of war rage and chaos reigns, it would be hard for a group of women from the Feixue Pavilion to protect themselves.
Leaving this place of strife early is certainly a wise choice.
The Snow Maiden turned her head to look out the window, her gaze avoiding the two Yin-Yang masters who could see through people’s thoughts.
Her graceful figure naturally formed a perfect S-shape.
Though the disciples outside were busy, they were orderly and efficient.
Among all the items, the most difficult to move was the Flying Snow Jade Flower Stage.
This object, like the Snow Maiden herself, had become a symbol of Feixue Pavilion.
Looking at the jade stage, the Snow Maiden’s eyes shimmered.
There was a trace of reluctance in her gaze.
Not performing anymore meant she would no longer dance on this jade flower stage.
“Yes.”
She said softly.
Her clear voice elongated the word.
“Someone told me that to transcend oneself, one must let go of their bonds.”
“If I don’t perform, I won’t worry about embarrassing myself.”
“But I can’t let go of so many disciples of Feixue Pavilion; my master entrusted them to me, and Feixue Pavilion is their home.”
“Then I can only take them to start anew elsewhere; perhaps that’s a good solution, what do you think?”
The Snow Maiden withdrew her gaze, a cunning glimmer in her eyes as she looked at Li Mo.
“The more you do, the more you err; the less you do, the fewer mistakes you make—very good indeed.”
Li Mo chuckled.
“Lady Snow, you’re quite clever; this is indeed a win-win solution.
The Snow Maiden’s eyes crinkled with joy.
A proud smile graced her delicate, otherworldly face.
“Hmm, I’ve been thinking about this for two days before coming up with the idea.”
Since that day, the Snow Maiden has come to see those men clearly.
To perform before them again was something she couldn’t bring herself to do.
Perhaps it was time to step back and nurture a successor.
Without reservation, the Snow Maiden said, “When we go to the Qin State, I’ll be counting on you, National Advisor, to take good care of us.”
Li Mo did not decline; to him, it was just a small matter:
As long as he made it known that Feixue Pavilion was under his protection, no one in the Qin State would dare to stir trouble there.
“I also have a request and would like to ask Lady Snow for a favor.”
Since the Snow Maiden was being straightforward, Li Mo would be the same.
The Snow Maiden blinked her clear eyes.
In disbelief, she said, “You want me to help?”
What qualifications do I have? If there’s anything he can’t do, even if all ten or a hundred of me combined, it would still be impossible.
Li Mo smiled and said, “That’s right, I want you, Snow Maiden, to help invite someone to the Qin State.”
For any great physician to treat illness, they must first calm their spirit and resolve, be free from desires, and possess a great compassion and mercy in their heart, vowing to alleviate the suffering of all living beings.
In this chaotic world, healers are the guardians of all life.
However, a healer’s skills can save everyone in the world but not themselves; this is the fate of a healer.
Therefore, in order to pass down the ultimate technique of salvation, healers educate their disciples to avoid conflict and enmity.
The Mirror Lake Medical Villa is located in the center of a lake.
The medical villa is not large.
It comprises only one courtyard, a few thatched cottages, and some thin fields.
The location is elegant and tranquil, far from the disturbances of the secular world.
It indeed aligns well with the notion of healers staying away from conflict and bitterness.
The calm lake surface is like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds.
Suddenly, a ripple stirred on the lake.
A light boat glided through the water like it was floating in the sky, smoothly drifting towards a small island in the lake.
The Snow Maiden sat at the bow, her stunningly beautiful face reflected in the water.
……
The blue and white dress intertwined with the reflection of the blue sky and white clouds on the lake surface.
A gentle breeze blew, causing her silver hair to dance lightly.
She looked more beautiful than any mortal woman.
The Snow Maiden lifted her head, casting a mournful glance at Li Mo.
Only now did she realize that Li Mo had invited her along for this purpose.
He wanted her to persuade her friend, Duanmu Rong—known as the Mirror Lake Medical Immortal—to go to the Qin State to serve as a personal physician for their family.
As for the reason, it was even more maddening for the Snow Maiden.
The reason was that his wife was pregnant, and having a highly skilled medical practitioner by their side would put his mind at ease.
“Why does the Snow Maiden look troubled? Is there something difficult?”
Li Mo had been “observing” the Snow Maiden for a long time.
That sorrowful little gaze just about had the words ‘I’m unhappy’ written all over her face.
“Hmm? No, not at all.”
The Snow Maiden suddenly came back to her senses, her lively eyes sparkling.
“However, I am not sure whether Sister Rong will agree, and I’m afraid the National Advisor will be disappointed.”
Li Mo replied calmly, “Anything that cannot be forced should not be forced. Regardless of success or failure, I will always keep in mind the help of the Snow Maiden.”
Your expression does not indicate concern about my disappointment; it’s clearly your own disappointment.
The Snow Maiden waved her little hand and quickly said, “The National Advisor is being too polite. It is you who helped me rid myself of the great favor from Lord Yan Chun, so I should be the one thanking you.”
When she thought of Lord Yan Chun, she couldn’t help but recall the scene of lying in Li Mo’s embrace while wearing only two thin garments.
Her stunning face gradually turned red, flushing her delicate earlobes.
Although the Snow Maiden was stubborn, she had a cheerful personality.
Such a situation that could make one blush while speaking was rather rare.
Noticing the sudden awkwardness in the atmosphere, Li Mo changed the subject, “Miss Snow Maiden, you need not be so polite. Since we are all familiar with each other by now, you need not refer to me as the National Advisor anymore.”
“Then what should I call you?”
The Snow Maiden looked at him eagerly.
After a moment of contemplation, Li Mo said, “You can call me Mister. My wife used to call me that.”
The Snow Maiden was taken aback.
She then turned her head to the side, her face flushed, and scoffed lightly.
In a soft voice, she mumbled, “Mister is fine, but why add ‘your wife’?”
Li Mo’s hearing was sharp.
It seemed that the last part of her sentence was a bit unnecessary.
“Then it’s better if Miss Snow Maiden continues to call me the National Advisor.”
The Snow Maiden turned her head back, her bright eyes seemed to speak.
“Mister can call me Snow’er.”
