As soon as the maid left, Qin Luo breathed a sigh of relief.
"I reckon Chunyu Ying will be here soon. What if we get caught?"
After saying that, Wu Hua took off her storage ring.
"Let the vines use their lightning power to wrap it up in the vines, and it shouldn't be discovered."
Upon hearing this, Teng Teng immediately extended a vine to wrap around the storage ring and hid it around Qin Luo's waist.
To their surprise, Chunyu Ying did not come.
Not only did she not come, but the maid who went to deliver the message also did not return, let alone breakfast or tools.
Qin Luo sighed as she took food out.
"It's better to rely on yourself than to ask others for help. Let's not wait around. Let's take the initiative after we've eaten our fill."
Wu Hua paused, holding the meat bun.
"Take the initiative? How?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo grinned mischievously.
"Of course we have to search the whole mansion for her. We promised the head of the household that we would grow the crops as soon as possible, so we can't be short of tools."
After the three of them finished breakfast, Qin Luo and Wu Hua, using Chunyu Ying's name, began to wander around the Jiufang Mansion.
When the guards heard that the steward had sent them, they didn't dare to do anything to them.
The two of them strolled from the backyard to the front yard as if they were in an empty house, not even missing the kitchen and servants' quarters.
When the maid saw Qin Luo and Wu Hua again, the two had already figured out everything they needed to know.
Even the vines had taken root in hidden places, waiting only for her command.
He then poured all the water from the stream given to him by Wu Hua into the food and tea.
The maidservant was furious when she saw the two men swaggering around the mansion.
"Didn't I tell you not to come out? Why are you here?"
Qin Luo helplessly shrugged.
“You said you would send us food and tools, but you never came. We were afraid of delaying things, so we decided to come and find the housekeeper ourselves.”
"The steward has gone out with the master of the house. You all hurry back to the courtyard and wait. The things will be delivered in a little while."
Qin Luo didn't argue with her anymore, but nodded and took Wu Hua back.
Anyway, she had already taken care of what she needed to do. She just needed to wait for Jiu Fangduo and Chunyu Ying to return that evening so she could catch them all in one fell swoop.
Qin Luo and Wu Hua returned to the courtyard and explained the situation to Ji Mo Kunyu inside the storage ring.
He then began planning how to proceed at Duan Yang's house.
"Selling vegetables is definitely not going to work. How about we wait until things get chaotic in Jiufang Prefecture tonight and go directly to Duanyang Prefecture to report that Jiufang Duo sent us?"
"No, no, we don't know if the two of them have a grudge. If they do, aren't we just going there to deliver vegetables?"
Qin Luo thought about it and agreed, then sighed with worry.
"If this were the human world, things wouldn't be so complicated. If you wanted to do something, you could just do it directly. It wouldn't be like this now, where you can't beat this person, and you can't afford to offend that person..."
Wu Hua also sighed.
"Who can argue with that? I'm practically invincible in the human world, but here I'm like a little rascal, anyone can send me flying..."
Seeing that he seemed to have lost his fighting spirit, Qin Luo quickly gave him a pep talk.
"No, you're amazing. What other baby is as strong as our little one? When you grow up, you'll be able to crush them all with one kick."
Wu Hua chuckled as she watched her exaggerated expressions and movements.
"You're right. When I grow up, I'll be incredibly powerful, the kind of powerful that can shatter mountains and rivers with a single step."
"Absolutely."
The two of them went from successfully infiltrating Duan Yang's mansion to becoming invincible in the future.
It was Tengteng who reminded them that she saw Jiufangduo and Chunyu Ying on Fen Teng, with one foot already stepping into the gate of Jiufang Mansion.
The two then stopped their mutual flattery, and Qin Luo instructed Tengteng to tell the vines to start immediately.
The first sip of water they drank upon entering the mansion was from the stream within the space.
Wu Hua planned to coordinate with Shu to surround Jiufang Mansion with a barrier the moment they fell.
Everything went as they expected. The first thing Jiu Fangduo and Chunyu Ying did after sitting down was to have the servants serve tea.
Tengteng could clearly sense their happiness, so she described what she had seen to Qin Luo and Wu Hua.
Qin Luo was still somewhat puzzled after hearing this.
"They were blaming each other yesterday, but today they're all smiles. What's going on?"
Wu Hua, however, acted as if she already knew.
"If I'm not mistaken, they should have gone to visit Wu Zhaoliang today."
"Aren't they just pretending to be friends? How come they're so happy to see each other?"
"I don't know the specific reason, but I think they must have found some benefit in it."
Qin Luo felt a pang of regret upon hearing that he didn't know.
"If I had known, I should have shared the vine and hidden one in the reception room."
Wu Hua, however, did not think so.
"Setting up a spy is already a risky move. If we send Fujima to eavesdrop, we are very likely to be discovered. It's safer to hide it in the food and water area."
Qin Luo nodded immediately after listening.
"You're right, you're right, it's better to play it safe."
As the two were discussing, Qin Luo heard Tengteng say that there was some noise in the front yard.
Wu Hua immediately flew into the sky and, together with Shu, enveloped the Nine Directions Mansion within a barrier.
The fluctuations in space during the evacuation were also detected by the powerful beings within the city.
But seeing that it was heading towards Jiufang Prefecture, they lost all interest in investigating.
Unbeknownst to anyone, the entire Nine Directions Mansion had been placed under a protective barrier; those inside couldn't get out, and those outside couldn't get in.
After setting up the barrier, Wu Hua returned to the courtyard, while Shu was stored in his spatial storage.
"Thank you. Luo Luo and I will take care of the rest. You can go back and get some rest."
