Murong Yuyan said irritably, "How could Lingshan's father do this? Really."
Liu Xiaoyuan smiled and said, "Don't think about it too much. Let's go to a hotel and get a room to sleep."
This is a phrase that is incredibly misunderstood. In most people's minds, going to a hotel to sleep probably means two people going to a hotel to have sex.
Upon hearing this, Murong Yuyan's first thought was exactly that, and her heart fluttered like a deer.
Seeing Murong Yuyan's shy expression, Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "Hey big star, don't get the wrong idea. When I said 'book a room to sleep,' I meant we would each sleep separately, not share a bed."
When Murong Yuyan saw Liu Xiaoyuan's grinning expression, she knew that Liu Xiaoyuan was doing it on purpose, and she was so angry that she swung her little fist and punched Liu Xiaoyuan.
Upon arriving at a nearby hotel, the two each booked a room, said goodnight to each other, and went to their respective rooms to sleep.
Liu Xiaoyuan took a hot shower, then lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep.
Just as Liu Xiaoyuan was having a sweet dream, he heard someone knocking on his door. This made Liu Xiaoyuan very unhappy. He was sleeping soundly when someone suddenly came to disturb his sweet dream. This was simply unforgivable.
"Xiao Yuan, open the door quickly, Xiao Yuan, open the door quickly." Murong Yuyan's voice came from outside the door.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute." As he spoke, Liu Xiaoyuan got out of bed, turned on the light, picked up his phone and glanced at the time. It was already past 2 a.m. Why was Murong Yuyan knocking on his door instead of sleeping?
However, judging from her tone, something must have happened, otherwise she wouldn't be in such a hurry.
Liu Xiaoyuan opened the door and saw that Murong Yuyan looked anxious. As soon as she saw Liu Xiaoyuan, she said, "Xiaoyuan, Lingshan is in trouble."
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't seem too surprised by the news. From what happened tonight—no, it's now the early hours of the second day, it should be last night—it's clear that the two Qi Refining mid-stage cultivators came for the Tan family's possessions.
Last night, Tan Lingshan told her parents about the incident, and this was confirmed by her mother's words. However, Tan Jianye was wary of Liu Xiaoyuan and kept his wife quiet.
"Xiao Yuan, please save Ling Shan! Xiao Yuan, please save Ling Shan..." Murong Yuyan said anxiously, pulling Liu Xiaoyuan's hand and urging him to save Tan Ling Shan.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Murong, it's not that I don't want to save her, but I don't want to get involved in the Tan family's mess. You saw Tan Lingshan's father's attitude tonight; he's treating me like a thief."
Murong Yuyan said, "Xiao Yuan, it was Ling Shan's father who called just now, begging you, begging you to save Ling Shan."
Liu Xiaoyuan snorted coldly and said, "He certainly knows how to play the game. He wants you to beg me, but why doesn't he come?"
Although Murong Yuyan felt that Tan Jianye had gone too far, the situation was urgent, so she naturally didn't dwell on it.
"Xiao Yuan, Ling Shan is in danger. I beg you, please, for my sake, rescue Ling Shan from the bad guys." Murong Yuyan pleaded, holding Liu Xiaoyuan's hand.
Liu Xiaoyuan looked at Murong Yuyan and said, "Don't worry, Tan Lingshan will be safe for the time being, so you don't need to be so concerned."
Upon hearing this, Murong Yuyan wondered if Liu Xiaoyuan had really been involved in the kidnapping of Tan Lingshan.
Thinking this, Murong Yuyan's gaze towards Liu Xiaoyuan changed, becoming suspicious and incredulous.
Seeing Murong Yuyan's expression, Liu Xiaoyuan was both amused and exasperated, and asked in return, "Do you also suspect that I'm in cahoots with those who kidnapped Tan Lingshan?"
Murong Yuyan did not answer the question, but instead asked, "Then how do you know Ling Shan is not in danger?"
Murong Yuyan's question indicated that she already suspected Liu Xiaoyuan was in cahoots with the people who kidnapped Tan Lingshan.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Sigh! How can you be so stupid? Come on, let me explain it to you. Think about it, why did these people kidnap Tan Lingshan?"
Murong Yuyan shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "These people kidnapped Murong Yuyan either for money or for the Tan family's possessions. Therefore, they won't make things difficult for Tan Lingshan until they get what they want. So, Tan Lingshan is safe for the time being."
Hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's analysis, Murong Yuyan realized that she had misunderstood him. She looked at Liu Xiaoyuan apologetically and said, "I'm sorry."
Liu Xiaoyuan flicked Murong Yuyan's fair forehead with his finger and said, "Use your brain more when you encounter problems in the future, you silly woman."
Murong Yuyan covered the spot on her forehead where she had been flicked and said, "I'm already stupid, and if you hit me again, I'll become even stupider."
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "It's okay, I'm here. As long as I'm by your side as your strategist, you won't be afraid even if you're stupid."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Liu Xiaoyuan knew he had been too talkative. Wasn't this just blatantly confessing his feelings to Murong Yuyan?
Looking over, Liu Xiaoyuan saw Murong Yuyan shyly lower her head, her face as red as a peach blossom in March, blushing with embarrassment.
After about ten seconds, Murong Yuyan finally looked up at Liu Xiaoyuan and asked, "What about Lingshan's matter?"
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "I think Tan Lingshan's father will definitely call you again in a while to ask if I went to rescue Tan Lingshan. When that happens, just tell him that if he wants me to rescue Tan Lingshan, he has to come to the hotel to find me in person!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Yuyan's phone rang. Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "It must be Tan Lingshan's father calling. Answer it quickly."
Murong Yuyan immediately took out her phone and saw that it was indeed Tan Jianye calling.
Murong Yuyan answered the phone, and as soon as the call connected, Tan Jianye immediately asked, "Yuyan, did your boyfriend go to rescue Lingshan?"
Hearing Tan Jianye's words, Liu Xiaoyuan felt immediately annoyed, as if rescuing Tan Lingshan was something he was obligated to do.
"Give me your phone," Liu Xiaoyuan said to Murong Yuyan.
Murong Yuyan was about to speak when she heard Liu Xiaoyuan's words, so she handed the phone to Liu Xiaoyuan.
After taking the phone, Liu Xiaoyuan said to Tan Jianye, "Mr. Tan, right? I don't think I need to save your daughter. Also, please understand one thing: when you ask someone for a favor, you can't just give instructions over the phone; you have to take action in person."
After saying this, Liu Xiaoyuan hung up the phone before Tan Jianye on the other end could say anything, and then handed the phone to Murong Yuyan.
