Bai Lingyao and the others immediately looked at Yi Mingxa, but they were all skeptical, especially since her cultivation was too low.
A young woman then asked her. "Can you really cure Elder Bai, Madam?"
âWho is that woman?â Ling Yun asked Qing Hanlie.
Qing Hanlie introduced everyone in the main hall to Ling Yun, especially the woman. âJin Qingyi is my partner and deputy sect leader of this sect.â
âI see.â Ling Yun did not ask further.
"You guys might doubt my abilities because my cultivation is still inferior to yours. However, I have studied medicine for a long time, and the master in medicine is a renowned physician, so I am confident in removing that poison from her body." Despite Yi Mingxiaâs assurances, Jin Qingyi and the other elders continued to doubt her, primarily due to her youth and her relatively low level of cultivation. "If you doubt my good intentions, and you are not confident in my medical abilities, I will not waste my qi to treat her. However, she wonât live more than ten years if I donât get rid of the poison, especially since then it has spread throughout her body, including her internal organs. Itâs up to you to decide whether to trust me or not, and I will not lose anything because I am not the one who will die."
"Since they doubt your abilities, you donât need to heal that woman, Mingxia." Yang Xiaoyi said coldly. "We will go to another domain after we meet your son, and you donât need to care about her; whether she lives or dies is up to her."
Yi Mingixa agreed with her. "Letâs wait for my son first, and weâll leave the sect straight away after I meet him."
"Wait." Bai Lingyao stopped them as soon as they were about to leave, and she walked to the front of Yi Mingxia. "Please help me remove this poison from my body, madam."
Yi Mingxia nodded to her. "Letâs go to your room, since I canât help you here."
"Please follow me." Bai Lingyao gestured with her hands.
Yi Mingxia immediately took Ling Yunâs hand. "Letâs follow her, and Iâll help her remove the poison from her body."
"Eh?" Bai Lingyao was surprised by that.
"I need my husband to contain your poison, or it will spread throughout the sect and poison others, especially since the poison canât be removed easily." Yi Mingxia explained.
Bai Lingyao glanced at Ling Yun and nodded to Yi Mingxia. "Okay."
Bai Lingyao immediately led Ling Yun and Yi Mingxia to her room, leaving the others in the main hall.
Qing Hanlie invited them to sit together, but Jin Qingyi asked them directly. "Are you all his wives and daughters?"
Yang Xiaoyi turned her face away and didnât want to answer Jin Qingyiâs question, as she was annoyed because she doubted Yi Mingxiaâs medical skills.
Song Mei nodded at her. "The three of us are his wives, and the five of them are his daughters. Yun Shengyun is his son with my daughter, Yi Mingxia."
"Huh?" Jin Qingyi and the others were surprised by this, especially since the mother and daughter were wives of the same husband. "Is it trueâ"
"Grandma." They turned to Yun Shengyun, who had just arrived with his three wives and a partner. However, his partner seemed shy to meet them, and he kept his face lowered. "Eh? Where are my father and mother? Why arenât they here?"
Meanwhile, Lin Sha and the two female beasts waited outside the main hall, and they did not join Yun Shengyun.
"They are going elsewhere to treat Elder Bai Lingyao because the poison in her body has spread throughout her body, and she will die in ten years if it is not removed." Song Mei looked at her grandsonâs female partner. "Whatâs that girlâs name, Shengyun?"
"Oh." Yun Shengyun pulled his partner forward. "Grandma! Mother Xiaoyi! Her name is Mu Qingya, and she comes from the Jade Sky Pavilion Domain. Qingya, these are my grandmother, Song Mei, and my other mother, Yang Xiaoyi."
Qing Hanlie and the other elders were shocked to hear that, and they stole glances at Song Mei, who wasnât concerned about their opinions.
Mu Qingya was stunned that Yun Shengyunâs father had married his grandmother too, but she quickly shrugged it off and saluted them. "Grandma Song and Mother Yang, Iâm pleased to meet you both."
"Nice to meet you, Qingya." Song Mei and Yang Xiaoyi responded with smiles.
"Hey, brother! You didnât introduce Mu Qingya to this twin sister of yours." Yun Shengxia said irritably.
"Haha." Yun Shengyun laughed and spoke to Mu Qingya. "Qingya, she is my twin sister, and her name is Yun Shengxia. As for the other four, they are my sisters from my four other mothers, and their names are Yun Jingqiu, Meng Keâer, Xuanyuan Yue, and Lian Ziyue. You donât need to be surprised by their surnames, especially since our father used their motherâs surnames for their names."
Mu Qingya nodded in understanding. "Nice to meet you all, sisters."
"What attracts you to my brother, Sister Qingya?" Yun Shengxia asked as she pulled Mu Qingya to their side.
"This." Mu Qingya turned to Yun Shengyun, who had already started talking with Song Mei and Yang Xiaoyi. "Your brother is truly shameless, and he immediately asked me to be his partner the moment he saw me."
"Hahaha." The five young women laughed when they heard that.
Yun Jingqiu laughed at that. "Brother Shengyun inherited our fatherâs shamelessness, but our father is even more shameless than him."
"Thatâs true." Lian Ziyue nodded in agreement. "My mother also said that our father was truly shameless, and he was the most shameless man in the universe."
Xuanyuan Yue shook her head in disagreement. "To some of my other mothers, our father was indeed shameless, but my mother had a different opinion of him because he used to be terrified of her."
"Hehehe." Meng Keâer laughed to herself. "My mother is the same, and she also said that our father isnât like that. However, she said that our father is very strange; he is respectful to her, but he can be shameless towards other women."
Mu Qingya finally knew where Yun Shengyunâs shamelessness came from. "I didnât want to accept Shengyun at first, but he kept approaching me since he came here, and he even kissed me forcefully."
"Hahaha." Yun Shengxia laughed and spoke to her. "If my brother wants something, he will definitely do whatever it takes to get it. Likewise with women, he will never let go of his target from his grip, and he will do anything to get it."
Mu Qingya sighed helplessly. "I wasnât interested in him at first because I didnât know him, but he kept coming to me every day. He was very open with me, so I slowly became attracted to him, and I eventually decided to become his partner."
"Have you ever had a partner before?" Yun Jingqiu asked.
"No." Mu Qingya shook her head. "I live in this sect because my parents are disciples of this sect, and they live here to this day, but they are not elders."
"Why do your parents let you pair up with my brother if youâre not a dual cultivator like him?" Meng Keâer asked.
Mu Qingya looked at her. "Even though Shengyun joined this sect, he has never dual cultivated with anyone before, right?"
"Yes." The five women nodded at him. "Even though my brother is married to Lin Sha, her cultivation is too high, and they cannot have sexual relations."
Mu Qingya sighed in relief. "Thatâs why my parents agreed when he proposed to them."
"I think thatâs good." Yun Shengxia pulled Mu Qingya outside. "Please take us to see the sect."
"Alright." Mu Qingya directly took the five women away, followed by Lin Sha to ensure their safety.
Song Mei and Yang Xiaoyi watched them leave, but they werenât worried about them. Lin Sha was following them, and no male disciple could bother them, let alone Ling Yun being in the sect as well. They interrogated Yun Shengyun, especially about his relationship with Mu Qingya.

Bai Lingyao had already brought Ling Yun and Yi Mingxia to her room. "What should I do now?"
"Take off all your clothes." Bai Lingyao was stunned by Yi Mingxiaâs statement, especially because Ling Yun was present with them. "You donât have to worry about my husband, and he wonât do anything to you."
Bai Lingyao was fully embarrassed when she heard that, but Ling Yun sat down on the bed before taking out a cloth to cover his eyes. "This way you donât have to be embarrassed with me anymore, right?"
"Yes." Bai Lingyao took off her dress, but three-quarters of her skin was exposed to the poison, leaving parts of her body looking purplish-black. "Are you sure you can cure me of this poison?"
Yi Mingxia first carefully observed Bai Lingyaoâs body. "I can remove this poison from your body, but the process will take a very long time because the poison has spread throughout your body, so I canât remove it all at once. The process will also be very painful, so you must be prepared to face the pain."
"I see." Bai Lingyao immediately sat down in front of Ling Yun. "What should I do now?"
Yi Mingxia immediately sat behind Bai Lingyao and took out her golden needles. "Hold my husbandâs hand because Iâm going to transfer the poison in your body to his."
