Granny Yang's carriage arrived at a secluded alley. Qian Youxue was familiar with this place; it was the alley next to Xiaoyao Residence, named Dongpo Alley.

The alley was eerily quiet, with hardly anyone around. Each courtyard looked quite large; it was said that this area had been bought up by wealthy people, so the residents here must be quite extraordinary.

Granny Yang's carriage finally stopped in front of a large red gate. After getting off the carriage, she nervously looked around to make sure no one was following her. She then tugged at her clothes, grabbed her small bundle, and knocked on the gate.

The door creaked open, but no one appeared. As soon as the door opened, Granny Yang quickly stepped inside, and then the door closed again.

Qian Youxue didn't follow too closely. After seeing the people go inside, she instructed the coachman to drive the carriage back to the Hua family. Then, she quickly and cautiously approached the house in another direction. Just as she was about to try to go in and take a look, she saw Granny Yang come out from inside. The bundle was no longer in her hand, and there was a hint of joy on her face.

Granny Yang got into the carriage and left. Qian Youxue leaned against the wall, unwilling to give up, her eyes darting around.

Just as she was about to act, she was pulled back by a hand. She looked up and saw that it was none other than the wealthy Mr. Bu Yu.

"Hehe, what a coincidence!" she greeted playfully.

Dongming Huo was amused by Qian Youxue's unique way of greeting him, and her peach blossom eyes lifted up, making her look absolutely beautiful.

Seeing the handsome guy made her feel good, but remembering how hard she had hit him last time, Qian Youxue felt a little embarrassed: "I'm just browsing, I'll head back now."

"Really? Didn't you want to go through that red door?" Dongming Huo directly exposed the woman's lie. If it weren't for Wuya's report, there really wouldn't have been such a chance encounter.

hey-hey……

You were seen through so easily, what a failure!

Qian Youxue scratched her head guiltily and muttered, "That guy asked you to help me, not to watch over me!"

"Is there a difference?" Dongming Huo replied.

Well……

Qian Youxue was speechless.

"You can't afford to mess with the people in the Red Gate, so you should go back." Dongming Huo could tell that Qian Youxue was the kind of person who would fight to the death until she got what she wanted, so he simply put his words out there.

"What do you mean? Are you looking down on me?" Qian Youxue glared at Dong Minghuo unhappily, but she was carefully pondering his words.

Dongming Huo found Qian Youxue's words interesting. She must have some skill to be able to see the poison curse on Ye's body. However, besides just being able to see the poison, one must also have real ability.

Just as the two fell silent, the large red door suddenly opened, and a foot wearing a white shoe stepped out.

Dongming Huo quickly grabbed the person and hid them. Qian Youxue glanced at them unwillingly, but only saw their backs.

Whoosh!

After everyone had gone far away, Dongming Huo closed his fan, whispered a few words in her ear, and then strode away.

Qian Youxue stood there, her face pale, and wanted to ask Dong Minghuo for some confirmation. But when she looked up, she found that there was no one there.

A chilly wind blew through the deep alley, and she shivered violently.

This eerie place, even in broad daylight, gave her the creeps. Thinking back to what that guy had just said, she felt seriously uneasy.

Her life was more important, and for a better future, she decided to temporarily abandon her curiosity and retreat along the back of the alley.
