As the saying goes, "Know your enemy and know yourself, and you will never be defeated."

Jing Zhe looked around and, seeing that no one was there, tiptoed to the window and secretly pressed his head against it to try and hear what was being said inside and how far things had progressed.

Huh, there's no sound from inside, and I can't hear anyone talking.

Could it be that the two of them went out?

Probably not, otherwise that disciple wouldn't have brought him along.

Or perhaps, the calm before the storm?

Jing Zhe was lost in thought when he suddenly caught a familiar, pleasant fragrance. Following the scent, he looked up.

Then, Jing Zhe encountered the most embarrassing situation for him.

The paper window in the room had been opened inwards at some point, and Qingqiu was standing in front of the window with her arms crossed. Wang Yingqiu stood behind her with a hesitant expression, and the familiar fragrance that Jing Zhe smelled was her body scent.

The two of them were looking down at him...

"Oh, what a coincidence!"

What are you doing sneaking around here?

Jing Zhe slowly stood up, laughing heartily, "I just got here too, and I don't know which of these many rooms is Third Sister's. I'm afraid of going to the wrong one, so I'm listening..."

As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed!

Qingqiu glared at him, then said gently:

"Get in here!"

"..."

(Chapter 530 is gone today. I spent half the day revising it, and I was completely exhausted. Most of you have probably finished reading it by now, so it's fine. I'll say more in the author's note...)
