Night fell, and half the day had passed.

"Does the Black Wind Bandits know we're here?"

"There wasn't a single trace left!"

......

Another hour passed.

"Don't speak! Someone's coming!"

Chu Yu gently reminded him.

"Rustling! Rustling!"

"Coo coo!"

"whisper!"

A black wind swept through the woods, startling a chorus of birdsong.

Not far away, a person tiptoed and looked around as they approached.

He was carrying a rather large bundle in his arms, and judging from his condition, it was quite heavy.

The more Yongheng looked at the newcomer, the more familiar he seemed.

"Chu Yu, Hua, don't you guys think that person looks familiar?"

Yong Heng wasn't quite sure, so he quietly asked Chu Yu and the others beside him.

"It looks like Zhu Ziyi, the one we met yesterday?"

"It's him."

"What is he doing here so late, sneaking around like this?"

"Zhu Xiaoyi!"

"ah!"

Zhu Ziyi was startled by Yong Heng's sudden voice, and the bundle in his hand fell to the ground, spilling its contents.

"Yong Xiaoheng! You scared me to death!"

After yelling at Yong Heng, he bent down to pick up the things that had fallen to the ground.

"You still dare to talk back! I should be asking you, what are you doing here so late?!"

Yong Heng strode towards Zhu Ziyi.

"Well... you know what day it is today."

"Oh, no wonder!"

Hua looked at them curiously, "Is today some special day?"

Why bring so much gold here so late at night?

Zhu Ziyi scratched his head, looking at them awkwardly before speaking, "It's...it's me..."

"That's the day he comes here every month to hide gold!"

"Hidden gold here?"

This is so strange!

Under their watchful eyes, Zhu Ziyi's face turned bright red.

"Yes! Zhu Xiaoyi has been coming here to hide gold every month on the fifteenth since he was ten years old!"

"Aren't you very rich?"

He used to spend 60,000 taels of gold in one go, how come it's changed so much in just one day...?

"Who would complain about having too much money? Besides, I'm just taking precautions!"

After Zhu Ziyi finished speaking confidently, he picked up the gold and put it away!

Why did you choose this place?

Chu Yu sized up the honest and harmless Zhu Ziyi in front of him.

"......"

“The memorial tablets of my father and the others are enshrined in Qingshan Temple.”

......

Therefore, this place should be the safest place in the world for Zhu Ziyi.

Although they didn't know why the generous Zhu Ziyi had this habit, Hua and Chu Yu didn't press him further.

In any case, the Black Wind Bandit wouldn't be Zhu Ziyi, who was powerless to even kill a chicken.

And judging by his physique... he really doesn't look like it.

"Looks like there won't be any activity tonight. Let's go."

It's almost midnight, the Black Wind Bandits won't appear again, and staying any longer is a waste of time.

After listening to Chu Yu's words, Hua and the others prepared to go down the mountain and return.

"Um, could you wait for me?"

"Zhu Xiaoyi, what are you going to do?"

"Um... I haven't... got my things yet."

If it weren't for the need to maintain his image in front of Chu Yu and his group, Yong Heng would have rolled his eyes at Zhu Xiaoyi!

I really don't know what to say about him!

Even at a time like this, he still remembers to hide his little bit of gold!

What a loser!

"Hurry up! You only have fifteen minutes!"

"If it's not ready by now, we're leaving!"

"Okay, okay! I'll be right there, Xiao Heng, wait for me!"

Chu Yuduan watched Zhu Ziyi's back as he ran, his whole body shaking, and remained silent for a long time.

After Zhu Ziyi returned, the group did not linger and went straight down the mountain.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Zhu Ziyi bid farewell to the servants who were waiting there and took a carriage back to the Zhu residence.

After spending the money, they followed Yongheng back to his prince's residence.

"Young Master Gu and everyone, I apologize. Uncle Zhang is arranging rooms for you. Please wait a moment."

"It's alright, we're the ones who have bothered you!"

"Alright, it's late, time to sleep."

"Okay," Hua Nuonuo replied, rubbing her eyes with her little hands.

"Gu Xi, let's go back to our room then."

"Okay, you've had a long day, get some rest."

Before Hua Hua could hear what Gu Xi said, Chu Yu grabbed her arm and led her away.

"Young Master Gu?"

"Young Master?"

"What is it?"

"Young Master Gu, your rooms have been arranged. You may go back to your rooms and rest."

What are you thinking about so intently?

Thank you.

Noon on the second day

Yongheng is now able to accept the fact that he slept until noon.

Although there were no female relatives in the prince's residence, Yongheng knew that even the most pampered girl in the entire Qin Kingdom would not be allowed to sleep until noon.

Looking at Chu Yu reading a book across from her, she wondered to herself, what is their relationship?

Brother and sister?

They don't even look alike.

"Could they be cousins?"

But this is too much leniency.

"Could they be... lovers?"

Yongheng reflected on how Chu Yu had taken care of the flowers over the past two days, and the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.

"How much longer are you going to watch?"

Chu Yu put down his book and finally couldn't bear it any longer, so he looked up at Yong Heng opposite him.

Yong Heng was a little embarrassed to be caught red-handed, and chuckled.
