Before Ci Yue could explain, she only said, "Let's go!"
He picked up Ji Shuangzhu, used the vines to climb the eaves, and leaped out.
Ji Shuangzhu looked at the person who had descended from the sky to save her from danger, her eyes overflowing with affection.
Unfortunately, Ciyue came from the end times and knew all too well about ambiguous relationships between men and women.
That immediately shattered her illusions.
"Little sister, don't look! I'm an older sister, not an older brother!"
Ji Shuangzhu…
Only after leaving the city lord's mansion did Ci Yue put her down.
I was planning to wait for Wang Yue, but I didn't expect Wang Yue to be delayed either.
The two of them had barely landed when he followed them out.
When the three arrived at the courtyard, Qin Luo and Wu Hua were in the main room, eating the food prepared by Kui Duo.
They had originally planned to bring Wangxiang back with them, but it insisted on staying with Kuixu.
I'm afraid that if I leave and Kui Xu speaks, no one will answer, and I'll be very sad...
So after transporting the people, the two of them made an appointment with it to meet again the next evening, and then returned to the courtyard first.
Qin Luo watched as Wang Yue and Ci Yue returned with someone, and asked curiously.
"Who is she? Where did you find her?"
Before Wang Yue could speak, Ci Yue plopped down on the stool.
She picked up the food and said as she ate, "I found this at the City Lord's Mansion. It's the young City Lord Ji Shuangzhu, oh! No, she's the City Lord now!"
Wu Hua ate with loud smacking sounds, while Qin Luo listened, completely confused.
"What? I don't quite understand?"
Then, Ci Yue recounted what she and Wang Yue had seen.
He repeated it again in an exaggerated manner, completely disregarding the fact that the person involved was standing to the side.
After listening, Qin Luo thought this city was crazy. She told Ji Shuangzhu to sit down and rest.
He then sent Wang Yue to the guest room and summoned Feng Zangce.
Feng Zangce, who had just fallen asleep, was suddenly woken up and thought something terrible had happened.
"What's wrong? Didn't you say Feng Chi and the others were safe? Could it be that the monster has changed its mind again?"
Qin Luo glanced at him sideways. Ever since she learned that his ancestor was utterly wicked, she had come to dislike him as well.
"Don't judge a gentleman by your own petty standards. Monsters are the most trustworthy, unlike your ancestors, who were despicable..."
When Qin Luo returned, he told Feng Zangce and Kui Duo everything that Wang Xiang had said.
Only then did the two realize how wicked their ancestors had been. Hearing Qin Luo's words, they both lowered their heads.
Qin Luo was unusually tolerant of girls; she held Kui Duo's hand and comforted her.
"You have already been expelled from the Blood Eater clan, and Kui Wanchen is not your ancestor!"
Upon hearing this, Kui Duo finally smiled again, while Ji Shuangzhu, who was completely oblivious to what she was hearing, remained silent.
He was clutching his large bundle, staring blankly at the group.
Because of ancestral rules between the two families, the direct descendants of the Feng family are not allowed to have any dealings with the City Lord's Mansion, so Feng Zangce and Ji Shuangzhu did not know each other.
After comforting Kui Duo, Qin Luo turned to Feng Zang Ce and asked...
Do you have any strange illnesses?
Feng Zangce was stumped by her question.
"A strange illness? No way! I've always been healthy!"
Qin Luo had examined him before, and apart from the injuries he sustained from being attacked by Wang Xiang, he was indeed in good health.
But curses aren't something you can detect by taking a pulse.
Usually, once the time limit is reached, the person either dies or suffers a lifetime of torment.
Just like Kui Duo and Ji Shuangzhu, one must drink blood, and the other must die at the age of thirty.
Logically speaking, since two of the three families are cursed, it's impossible that the most insane Feng family would be spared alone!
Qin Luo changed her approach and asked again, "How did your father die?"
Mentioning this, Feng Zangce shook his head sadly.
"Actually, I didn't know that my father suddenly changed his personality that day and kicked me out of the courtyard. My mother sent me to find the tutor so she could persuade my father. When I returned, I was told that both my parents had passed away. After that, I was in a coma for half a month, and I have no idea what happened during that time..."
"What about Feng Chi? Does he know?"
Feng Zangce shook his head again.
"He told me that the mansion had been attacked by assassins, and most of the servants and guards were killed or injured. My father committed suicide after seeing my mother killed. But I know that's not the truth, because Feng Chi always pinches his fingers when he lies. That day he kept pinching his fingers and never let go!"
"Then why don't you ask further?"
Feng Zangce laughed upon hearing this, a laugh tinged with self-mockery.
"As an orphan with no connections, I can't distinguish between enemies and friends. Feng Chi is the only person I trust! He's lying to me about things he's kept from me, which means he must be protecting my life. If I ask too many questions, I might end up hurting him too..."
Qin Luo hadn't thought that far ahead; in her world, there were no such intricate details as those found in grand mansions.
But after hearing what he said, I felt even more sympathy for him.
"Alright! If you don't know, that's fine. Tomorrow night, you'll all come with me to see Wang Xiang. Xiao Duo, you're in charge of telling Shuang Zhu what happened back then! Okay, meeting adjourned! Everyone get some rest, and don't bother us unless it's absolutely necessary. See you tomorrow night!"
After she finished speaking, she and Wu Hua set up a diversion in the courtyard to prevent the guards looking for Ji Shuangzhu from breaking in and discovering anything amiss.
After that, he and Wu Hua returned to the space.
Not long after the two entered the space, a group of guards surrounded the courtyard.
Strangely, they circled around outside the courtyard, grumbling and gesturing wildly for a while, and then left.
This completely baffled Wang Yue, who came out to investigate.
"Are you crazy?! Running around outside someone's yard acting like a madman so early in the morning!"
After yelling at him, he went back to sleep and slept until noon.
It was only because Ciyue was hungry and kept pestering him to cook that he woke up.
Wang Yue couldn't hit her, so he could only get up angrily and cook.
Ci Yue looked at him and found him more and more pleasing to the eye. She thought he was good in every way, except that his face looked a little silly...
