The Martial Doctor

"Great, then shall we find a time to go to the theater together?" Liansuo clapped excitedly.

"Yuyao, since you’re here, stay home for a few more days to inspect our silk shop, it’s fitting for our future cooperation."

"Cooperation?" Baili Yuyao exclaimed in surprise, somewhat puzzled about how the Lin Family would formally cooperate with the silk shop?

"I plan to let Fei’Er appear as Lin Bei, that way, Miaoxue won’t need to play both roles alone, and I won’t be stretched thin."

"Wouldn’t that be unfair to Fei’Er?" Baili Yuyao immediately understood Lin Miao’s intention. It was an ingenious plan.

Few people know of Ji Fei’Er’s existence. If she assumes Lin Bei’s identity externally, first, she can accompany Baili Yuyao, and second, many doubts can be dispelled.

After all, neither Si Miaoxue nor Lin Miao can always stay by Baili Yuyao’s side, while Ji Fei’Er has no such concern.

Moreover, Ji Fei’Er has Meridian Passage Realm cultivation and can protect the current Baili Yuyao.

Over at the silk shop, few are privy to the details. Whether it’s Baili Bingyun or the Mrs. Mei beside her, it’s impossible for them to leak information.

The silk shop also needs a son-in-law who can appear publicly at any time; otherwise, how can Baili Bingyun explain internally?

Ji Fei’Er and Baili Yuyao are both my women. With them together, I have no worries.

Additionally, Ji Fei’Er can become the liaison between myself and Baili Yuyao, and even the silk shop. Some matters may not require me personally going to Li Hen City to handle.

Giving Lin Bei the identity of a "cousin" establishes some connection between the silk shop and us, making the cooperation naturally seamless.

As for how to explain this relationship externally, isn’t it up to me to decide?

Ji Fei’Er naturally knows about Lin Miao’s arrangement. Anyway, it’s beneficial to her with no harm—having this identity allows her to roam freely outside, concealing her identity as the chief of the four attendants of the Moon Worship Sect’s Moon Palace, which is not bad.

Furthermore, she can freely enter and exit the Lin mansion without arousing suspicion.

It can be said to accomplish multiple goals.

...

"Master, Chen Xiaodao has issued a summon order. It seems he’s going to take action tonight." In the back courtyard of Dongshan Prefecture’s office, Pei Jian’s study, Pei Jian’s personal old servant knocked on the door and bowed to report.

"Good, issue the command to assemble our men, ready to depart at any time!" Pei Jian’s mind had not been on the book at all, staring at a page for half a day without flipping it over. Upon hearing this news, he joyfully put down the book.

"Yes, Master." The old servant replied and hurried away.

...

Lin Mansion.

"Owner, we’ve found out that the Blade Catching Alliance in Dongshan City has issued a summon order. It looks like there’s a big operation tonight!" Qiu Ze had also been sent by Lin Miao to gather news.

"Blade Catcher summon order signifies a big job; it’s New Year’s, what notorious criminal has fled to our Dongshan!" Mr. Xie exclaimed in surprise.

"Blood Fiend assassinated the Crown Prince, now on the imperial wanted list, with a reward of one hundred thousand silver!" Lin Miao grinned.

"Ah, this Blood Fiend must have had his brain kicked by a donkey!"

Pei Jian still dared not engage personally, but handed the news to the semi-official Blade Catching Alliance; it’s quite a clever move. The Blade Catching Alliance likely wants to capture someone for reward money, alive being more valuable than dead, unless it’s one of those ’dead or alive’ cases.

But Pei Jian cannot just sit back and relax; if he captures Blood Fiend alive, the credit would be significant, and he will certainly have a fallback plan ready.
