Lu Jingliang handed the porcelain bottle in his hand to Shi Xin.

Shi Xin glanced down at it, hesitated for a moment before taking it, and said indifferently, "Alright, you should leave now."

Lu Jingliang glanced at the sleeping Jiang Yuetong before transmitting his voice, "Every time Yue'er falls asleep from exhaustion after a fight, she has nightmares and her whole body gets hot in the middle of the night. Remember to give her this medicine later."

Upon hearing this, Shi Xin was somewhat taken aback. His master did indeed have this little quirk; Lü Jingliang…

"I will, thank you."

After Lü Jingliang turned and left, Shi Xin helped Jiang Yuetong cover herself with the blanket before returning to the contract space.

The next day.

Lu Shi'an had been waiting outside the door since early morning. As soon as Jiang Yuetong got up and made a noise, he heard her carrying hot water and pushed the door open to enter: "Good morning, Master!"

Jiang Yuetong shook her slightly sore arms and asked without looking up, "Where did you go yesterday?"

Lu Shi'an's dark eyes darted around slightly as he placed the hot water he was carrying next to the table and took out a food box from his spatial storage.

He said with a forced smile, "I went to the city yesterday to buy you some osmanthus cake. It was a long way and took a while. Master, is there something you need from me?"

These words were clearly within Jiang Yuetong's expectations.

With no response for a long time, Lu Shi'an felt a little uneasy.

Jiang Yuetong, who had just finished washing up, glanced at the osmanthus cakes arranged on a jade plate on the table.

She walked slowly over and sat down gracefully, reaching for a piece of osmanthus cake. She took a small bite, her eyes flickering slightly: "How's the spirit talisman manual coming along?"

"It's alright," Lu Shi'an said casually.

After realizing what had happened, he looked at Jiang Yuetong with astonishment, and knelt down without saying a word: "Master, I was wrong! I originally refused, but that brat Lü Jingliang bewitched me!"

He couldn't resist.

He had been searching for those talisman manuals for a long time, and his master had also been helping him. Jiang Yuetong had sent people to inquire secretly, but there was still no news. He never expected that they were all in Lu Jingliang's hands.

The main reason was that he knew Lü Jingliang, the pretty boy the elders of the three prefectures were talking about.

He had heard that Lü Jingliang had ill intentions in getting close to his master, but he had seen everything Lü Jingliang had done over the past period of time and found that Lü Jingliang had no malice towards his master.

That's why he accepted Lu Jingliang's advances.

Jiang Yuetong remained silent.

With a reluctant look in his eyes, Lu Shi'an took out the spirit talisman manuals from his spatial storage. After placing the six manuals on the table with both hands, he lowered his head, looking as if he knew he had made a mistake.

After Jiang Yuetong finished eating the osmanthus cake, she clapped her hands lightly. Lu Shi'an thought she was going to hit him, so he subconsciously dodged to the side.

Jiang Yuetong: "..."

Lu Shi'an smiled awkwardly, then immediately knelt down and said, "Master, please hit me. I won't dodge this time."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuetong couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, her tone indifferent: "Worthy of your abilities, you'd do anything for him with just a few books. Next time..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Shi'an declared confidently, "There won't be a next time, I promise!"

Jiang Yuetong lowered her eyes slightly, unsure whether she believed it or not.

She reached for a manual, flipped through it casually, and said nonchalantly, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Lu Shi'an looked up and said "Ah," as if he didn't understand what she meant.

He didn't sleep well last night; to be precise, he didn't sleep at all.

He was afraid that Jiang Yuetong would confiscate these manuals or make him return them to Lü Jingliang, so he read through them word for word overnight.

He had memorized all the contents. It didn't matter that he lost those few manuals. He could write them down later and study them slowly.
