Mo Hua chuckled, "The pot calling the kettle black. It's all because you, little fox, are still too green. If your elders were to compete with me in wits, I might be the one who's too green!"

Gu Liyan looked at Mo Hua and said, "I promised Mo Chen that I would terminate the contract after the mission is over. I hope you and he can treat each other sincerely."

"That would be wonderful. Our relationship is much better than you think, so you don't need to worry. Also, the election is in a few days, I hope you get good results!"

"I know." Gu Liyan lowered his eyes slightly, a thought forming in his mind.

"I advise you not to lose sight of the bigger picture, especially when it comes to matters of the heart among you fox demons!" Mo Hua squinted at Gu Liyan, took a few steps to stand in front of him, and whispered sweet nothings in his ear, "...You lecherous fox!"

Gu Liyan's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly took a few steps back. "I, I will."

Seeing Gu Liyan's restraint, Mo Hua couldn't help but smile. "Don't be so nervous. You are the master of his weapon. How could I possibly have any improper thoughts about you?!"

However, he then changed the subject, saying, "At least not now!"

Gu Liyan looked at Mo Hua in surprise, but she bumped her shoulder and said without any politeness:

"While you're still alive, enjoy the rest of your time!"

Gu Liyan frowned as she watched Mo Hua's retreating figure, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Just then, Wu Wenfeng, who had inexplicably lost his way, suddenly saw Gu Liyan appear before him. Wu Wenfeng greeted Gu Liyan with a look of surprise:

"Hey? Brother Gu, you're here! Why didn't you wait for me? You disappeared as soon as I turned around, and I've been looking for you for so long."

Seeing Mo Hua's departing figure, Wu Wenfeng wondered, "I didn't see the Palace Master just now, so why did she suddenly appear in the corridor?"

Gu Liyan glanced at Wu Wenfeng and said, "Perhaps your attention was focused elsewhere and you didn't see it."

Wu Wenfeng nodded. "Yes, I was just thinking of looking for you, and I was also wondering when I could have some black tea. It's really delicious!"

"You can go and ask Hua Qing'er to bring you a pot of good tea!" Gu Liyan walked towards the reception room.

Wu Wenfeng curled his lip and said, "I don't like that niece. She's too unreasonable!"

As she spoke, she followed Gu Liyan into the reception room.

However, he didn't notice Hua Qing'er, who was hiding in the shadows, staring at Wu Wenfeng with a furious expression. "How dare you say I'm being unreasonable? I'd like to see what kind of skills you, my uncle, have!"

Hua Qing'er clapped her hands, and a maid rushed over, "Young Palace Master."

"Prepare a pot of premium black tea, put this medicine in it, and then send it to the people in the reception room." Hua Qing'er took out a bottle of medicine powder and handed it over.

"this……"

"Don't worry, if you're found out, just say it was the Palace Master's order, understand?" Hua Qing'er squinted at the maid. "If you don't agree, don't even think about leaving my room tonight!"

Upon hearing Hua Qing'er's words, the maid's face changed instantly in fright, and she hurriedly nodded and went to prepare red tea.

"I want to see whether the fox or the lynx is more powerful in this world!"

Hua Qing'er's eyes gleamed with a sinister light—
