While everyone in the restaurant was preoccupied with their own thoughts, a tranquil courtyard house not far away exuded a peaceful and serene atmosphere.

The two thieves, who had left the restaurant, also appeared here.

The two who had been so arrogant before were now kneeling outside the gate, not daring to move an inch.

After an unknown amount of time, there was some movement in the courtyard, and the door was opened from the inside.

A woman in green looked coldly at the two people on the ground: "Have you completed the tasks assigned by the sect leader?"

The two thieves quickly replied, "It's done! It's done!"

"Hmph." The woman in green glanced at the two of them disdainfully, took out a bottle from her bosom, and tossed it to them. "This is the antidote for this month. Remember, the sect leader wants you to exchange one antidote for each of you. How many antidotes you get is up to you."

"Yes!" The two thieves, Yin Gui and Yin Gui, exchanged a glance and then left.

The woman in green closed the door and entered the master bedroom, her face already adorned with a gentle smile.

The master bedroom is simply furnished, yet exquisitely decorated, revealing the high status of its current owner.

"Master, it's time to get up."

"Um."

A detached voice came from the bed, making the woman in green's expression soften even more.

She walked to the bedside and lifted the bed curtains.

Hua Rong sat up and looked at the woman in green. His eyes were like an ancient well, deep and cold: "Lu Xi, help me change my clothes."

"Yes." Green Strike smiled, her lively face filled with pure joy.

"How did things go?" Hua Rong asked, looking at her beautiful face in the mirror.

"Rest assured, Master. Although the Yin Ghost Thieves are useless elsewhere, their mastery of Gu control is unmatched in the sect. Those hypocrites who spout benevolence and morality will never discover that the water they are drinking has been poisoned with Gu."
