The Little One, who had been blocked in her path, looked at the person in front of her and did not hesitate.
Indeed, the one who had stopped Luo Bingbing was Poet Sage—Li Jingshan.
Earlier, he had been checking accounts in the Clothing Store behind him and spotted Luo Bingbing and her companions wandering on the street through the window.
Upon seeing Luo Bingbing, he became very excited, hurriedly ran down from the second floor, called out a few times, and quickly walked towards the Little One.
"What are you doing here?" Luo Bingbing asked directly.
After hearing her question, Li Jingshan immediately replied, "Master, I was checking accounts in the Clothing Store, and when I suddenly saw you, I rushed down."
After listening to his words, Luo Bingbing lightly nodded and asked, "Where is your Clothing Store?"
"It's just behind us," said Li Jingshan, pointing with his hand.
Then, Poet Sage greeted Dongfang Hao and Lo An Lord, and he also nodded slightly to the unfamiliar Su Yan.
"Master, why don't you come sit in my shop?" Li Jingshan suggested to the Little One.
They had been walking around for a while and were starting to feel tired. After glancing at Su Yan, Luo Bingbing nodded to Poet Sage and said, "Alright, let's go!"
So everyone headed to Li Jingshan's Clothing Store to rest.
Once inside the Clothing Store, Luo Bingbing looked around at the hanging garments and suddenly felt inspired to design a set of clothes for herself in the style of the Twenty-First Century.
When they reached the back room, as soon as she sat down, she asked Li Jingshan to bring over the Four Treasures of the Study, quickly picking up a brush to sketch out a modern sports outfit on paper.
Everyone was puzzled when they heard that the Little One wanted Li Jingshan to fetch the Four Treasures of the Study, unsure of what she intended to do with them.
However, when they saw what the Little One had drawn on paper, their confusion deepened; it appeared to be clothing, but they had never seen anything like it before!
They all looked at the Little One with bewildered expressions, while Luo Bingbing paid no attention to their gazes. She handed over the completed design sketch to Li Jingshan, instructing him to have his tailor make the clothes according to her drawing.
Everyone was astonished when the Little One said it was indeed clothing. In the end, it was the knowledgeable Li Jingshan who spoke up, "Master, where is this clothing from? We've never seen anything like it before."
After hearing his words, Luo Bingbing remembered that they were in ancient times, so she raised an eyebrow and said, "It's clothing worn by people from a very distant place."
After saying that, she combined some modern palace attire and quickly sketched a design for ancient court clothing on a new piece of paper. Following that, she also drew designs for a cheongsam and a bubble dress.
They had never seen sportswear with separate tops and bottoms, so they couldn't quite express their feelings about it; however, they all found the latter designs very appealing.
Su Yan was the first to request to try on the clothing once it was made.
Among those present, aside from Duzhong Celestial Master and Apprentice, who had become immune to Luo Bingbing's talents and were not particularly surprised, everyone else was once again amazed by the Little One's skills.
When the designs reached the tailor, he initially looked down on the sportswear. However, upon examining its specifications and principles closely, his disdain quickly vanished.
Later, when he saw the additional designs drawn by Luo Bingbing, he was even more astonished and expressed a desire to take her as his master!
However, when Poet Sage informed him that the Little One was actually his own master, the tailor no longer mentioned wanting to apprentice under Luo Bingbing.
Of course, he wouldn't dare compete with his own master for another teacher! Nevertheless, he realized that the Little One was the Little Princess from Prince Luo's Residence and also a renowned prodigy.
As for those designs, Luo Bingbing instructed Li Jingshan to have the tailor send both the designs and finished garments to Piaoyun Pavilion once they were completed.
Exiting through the back door of the Clothing Store led directly to a restaurant under Poetic Language Villa.
Thus, Poet Sage took Luo Bingbing and the others to that restaurant for dinner.
Having tasted the roasted meat prepared by Luo Bingbing before leaving Silver City for Ling Mountain, Li Jingshan greatly missed its flavor.
Due to his craving, he tried to replicate Luo Bingbing's method of roasting meat himself. However, his attempt turned out poorly. Fortunately, there happened to be a chef nearby who he asked for help; he shared his roasting method with the chef and requested him to cook it instead.
Although the chef's roast was better than his own attempt, it still couldn't compare to Luo Bingbing's cooking.
At that moment, their dining table naturally featured that dish of roasted meat.
However, Luo Bingbing, Su Yan, Du Zhongtian, as well as Lord Lo An and Dongfang Hao all took a piece of the roasted meat, only to spit it out immediately after tasting it. The only ones who seemed to enjoy it were Poet Sage Li Jingshan and Su Yi.
Seeing her brother enjoying such terrible roasted meat, Su Yan asked, "Brother, is this roasted meat good?"
Since Su Yi was the only one who had never tasted the roasted meat made by Luo Bingbing, his answer naturally shocked everyone.
"It's delicious! I've never had such tasty roasted meat before!"
Upon hearing his words, everyone displayed expressions of disgust, while Luo Bingbing directly countered, "I really suspect that what you ate before was pig feed."
Confused by her comment, Su Yi immediately asked, "Why do you say that?"
Luo Bingbing pointed at the roasted meat on the table and replied, "Because this is terrible, and you..."
She left the rest unsaid. Su Yi was momentarily taken aback by her words and then turned his gaze to the others.
To his surprise, everyone looked at him with sympathetic eyes, including his younger sister Su Yan. Only Li Jingshan's gaze seemed somewhat normal, without any additional comments.
Seeing their expressions, he was stunned and weakly asked, "Do you all really think this roasted meat is bad?"
"It's not just bad; it's exceptionally terrible," Su Yan quickly responded from the side.
"Uh..." After hearing her words, Su Yi was left speechless.
After finishing their meal, they each went their separate ways—returning to their respective places: some to the palace and others to the royal residence.
When Luo Bingbing and the others returned to Piaoyun Pavilion, it had already been thoroughly cleaned and looked just as it did two years ago.
Su Yan, Su Yi, and Du Zhongtian naturally stayed in the guest rooms of Piaoyun Pavilion.
Later that night, Luo Bingbing quietly got out of bed and used her Ability to secretly communicate with Luo Yi, instructing him to wait for her in the Purple Bamboo Forest outside Back Mountain.
Then, Luo Bingbing quickly changed into Male Attire and used her Ability to teleport near the Dark Gate Headquarters in the Underworld.
Looking at the magnificent palace before her, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but feel quite satisfied. Using her Ability to scan the Dark Gate Headquarters, she noticed that Shadowless was moving towards the exit of the dark gate.
Thus, Luo Bingbing quickly flashed to the entrance of the dark gate.
The two Shadow Gate Assassins guarding the door were momentarily taken aback by the sudden appearance of the Young Boy. Since they had only arrived this year, they had no knowledge of Luo Bingbing and certainly wouldn't recognize her.
After a moment of regaining their composure, they immediately looked at Luo Bingbing with caution and asked, "Who are you?"
As soon as they finished speaking, the large door slowly opened, revealing Shadowless's figure. Luo Bingbing did not answer the guards' question; she simply watched Shadowless quietly.
However, she was observing with her Ability. After all, two years had passed, and everything could change. Therefore, Luo Bingbing's first concern was to gauge Shadowless's heart and see if he harbored any ill intentions.
At the moment the door opened, Shadowless saw the Little One and recognized him as his master.
Shadowless quickly walked up to the Little One and knelt on one knee, saying, "Your subordinate pays respects to you, welcoming you back to the palace."
With this kneel, the two guards immediately understood Luo Bingbing's identity and hurriedly knelt down to pay their respects.
Luo Bingbing glanced lightly at the two of them and said, "Get up! Today's matters must not be disclosed to anyone else. Those who disobey will be executed without mercy."
Upon hearing her words, the two guards quickly replied, "We obey your orders."
Then, Shadowless led Luo Bingbing to the study that had already been prepared for her. In the study, Shadowless reported to the Little One about everything from when they first stepped into the world until now regarding the developments of the Dark Gate.
The Dark Gate could now be described as an unshakeable commercial empire.
Afterward, Luo Bingbing asked about some internal personnel matters within the Dark Gate, and Shadowless answered each question in turn.
Having understood all the circumstances, Luo Bingbing planned to leave the Dark Gate and go meet Luo Yi in the Purple Bamboo Forest.
However, just as she was about to leave, Shadowless suddenly knelt down and said, "Master, Shadowless was once your shadow and still is. Please allow me to continue being your shadow."
After hearing Shadowless's words, Luo Bingbing tilted her head slightly in thought for a moment before addressing Shadowless on the ground: "Go find Wuyang now."
"Yes, I will go find Wuyang right away." With that, he left the study to look for Wuyang.
When Wuyang arrived at Luo Bingbing's study with Shadowless, he saw the Little One he had been thinking about day and night standing by the window, staring outside.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Tonight there was no moon, and it was pitch black outside, so dark that one couldn't see their own hand in front of them. The dark night was like a black hole, burying everything, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
It wasn't until he heard Shadowless say, "Master, Wuyang has arrived," that he snapped back to reality. He immediately bowed to Luo Bingbing.
"Wuyang, Shadowless will follow me from now on. The management of the Dark Gate will be handed over to him. If there are any issues that cannot be resolved, just send a signal. However, both Shadowless and I will come by from time to time," Luo Bingbing said slowly as she looked at Wuyang.
"I obey your command."
"Alright, you may leave!"
"Yes, Wuyang takes his leave." With that, Wuyang exited Luo Bingbing's study.
As soon as he left, Luo Bingbing secretly set up an Inverted Qi Men Formation in her study. After completing the formation, she and Shadowless left the study and departed from the headquarters of the Dark Gate.
Once they reached the forest, Luo Bingbing used her Ability to teleport with Shadowless to the Purple Bamboo Forest.
Upon arriving at the Purple Bamboo Forest, Luo Bingbing listened carefully to her surroundings. After hearing only one person's footsteps nearby, she recognized that it was Luo Yi.
After giving a slight nod to Shadowless behind her, Shadowless quickly vanished into the shadows while Luo Bingbing walked toward where Luo Yi was located.
Since Luo Yi's martial skills were lower than theirs, once he entered the Purple Bamboo Forest, he had been searching for Luo Bingbing's figure without realizing that she had not yet arrived and was unaware of when she and Shadowless would come.
It wasn't until Luo Bingbing approached him that he sensed the presence of the Little One. He then hurriedly walked toward her location.
From a distance, Luo Yi saw the Little One walking toward him. He quickly reached her side and knelt on one knee, saying, "I pay my respects to you, Master."
Luo Bingbing nodded slightly and said, "Get up! Tell me about the situation with the Beggar Clan!"
After Luo Yi stood up, he reported the general situation of the Beggar Clan to Luo Bingbing from the beginning until now.
Meanwhile, Shadowless, who was hidden in the shadows, was taken aback. The Beggar Clan was their number one competitor, so they had previously investigated the Beggar Clan's situation. Like everyone else, they knew there was a mastermind behind the Beggar Clan, but they had never been able to uncover that person's identity.
At this moment, he admired that Little One even more.
After understanding the situation of the Beggar Clan, Luo Bingbing called Shadowless out to spar with Luo Yi to see how much their martial arts had improved.
After ten exchanges, Luo Bingbing gave both of them some pointers. Then she instructed them to practice for a while and spar with each other, reminding them to return to Silver City before dawn.
As for herself, she secretly went to find An Ruo Ran. After locating An Ruo Ran in a Small Mountain Valley, An Ruo Ran made an agreement with those fierce tigers and then teleported back to Piaoyun Pavilion with Luo Bingbing.
In the small courtyard where Madam Xiang was located, it was brightly lit at midnight, and they were preparing a plot to poison Luo Bingbing.
In the Underground Study of the palace, Dongfang Hao was gently playing a completely purple zither. However, he kept mumbling, "Where are the sheet music and techniques for this Heartless Zither?"
