She cleared her throat and quickly changed the subject: "When would be a convenient time for you to come over?"
"I'm afraid daytime won't work, we'll be too conspicuous. Let's do it at night," Zu'an replied after thinking for a moment.
"At night?" Yu Yanluo's expression immediately turned strange.
Zuan realized his mistake and awkwardly explained, "I didn't mean anything by it."
“I know you don’t mean anything by it.” Yu Yanluo smiled gently. “How about this, it’s not convenient for you to go back to the residence now. Since everyone else thinks you’re in seclusion anyway, why don’t you just stay here with me? We can focus on training so you can return to the Duke’s mansion more quickly and stabilize the situation.”
"Live with you?" Zuan's face flushed. "That might not be very convenient."
"I'm a woman and I'm not afraid, what are you, a grown man, afraid of?" Yu Yanluo frowned slightly, but quickly realized something and looked at him strangely. "You don't think I'm letting you stay in this house, do you?"
"Uh..." Zuan then realized he had misunderstood.
Seeing his expression, Yu Yanluo couldn't help but spit out: "You wish! There's a room next door. You can stay there. No one in the manor will go there normally, so your presence won't be revealed."
Zuan chuckled awkwardly, but if he stayed here, it would cause some trouble for the hotel. Also, what if Da Manman came looking for him?
"What's wrong? Is there something you can't let go of?" Yu Yanluo noticed his preoccupied look and asked curiously.
"It's nothing, then I'll trouble you, Madam." Zu An thought to himself that he would find some time to talk to Da Manman about it another day, and that there shouldn't be any major problems.
Yu Yanluo nodded: "Let me take you to the room first."
After speaking, he got up and went to the wall to the side, turned the button on it, and a mechanical door slowly opened.
Zuan was startled: "The two sides are connected?"
Yu Yanluo hummed in agreement: "Actually, the room next door is also one of my bedrooms. We connected them for convenience, but you can't open the door on your own."
Zuan looked annoyed: "It's not like I'm the one who's going to sneak over in the middle of the night."
Yu Yanluo looked at him calmly with her clear eyes: "Isn't that what you were doing today?"
Zuan: "..."
He couldn't help but take a few more glances at her eyes. Yu Yanluo's eyes were as captivating as gemstones and as deep as the starry sky. But what impressed him even more was the beautiful yet eerie light that emanated from her eyes during their life-or-death struggle.
He truly felt the taste of death at that moment.
So what exactly is it?
Is it a kind of pupil technique?
Having watched things like Naruto in my past life, I'm no stranger to eye techniques.
However, this was clearly her trump card, so he didn't bother to investigate it further.
At this moment, Yu Yanluo pointed to the room and said, "Because I sometimes stay here, all the utensils are quite complete. If you see anything missing, just tell me. There are many people in the Yu family, so to avoid any leaks, I will have a maid bring it to my room and then give it to you."
Zuan waved his hand dismissively: "No need, a bed is fine, I'm easygoing."
Yu Yanluo hummed in agreement: "Then you should rest first. I'll go and draw some portraits of people in the Duke's mansion who are close to Yan You, so that you won't not recognize them when you see them."
"That's too much work, it would be such a huge workload," Zu An said, somewhat embarrassed.
Yu Yanluo smiled slightly: "It is indeed a lot of work for ordinary people, but I use painting as a means to enter the Dao, so it is not that difficult for me. It is already very late, so you should rest first. I will go back to sleep after I finish painting."
After the two said goodbye, she closed the door on the wall. Zu An lay on the bed, her thoughts in turmoil, wondering whether she had actually killed Yu Xuantao.
However, judging from my recent interaction with her, this trip has been worthwhile; at least she wasn't the behind-the-scenes big boss I had imagined.
Moreover, with her help, dealing with Jian Taiding became much easier.
However, the troublesome thing is that the emperor's mission this time is to deal with the Yu family...
Wait, the emperor will be my enemy sooner or later. He wants to deal with the Yu family, so it's only reasonable for me to secretly protect them.
Thinking this way, he immediately felt relieved and suddenly smelled a strange fragrance, neither orchid nor musk, coming from the quilt.
He immediately remembered that Yu Yanluo had mentioned that she often slept here, and the blankets smelled of her.
Even after so long, the fragrance is still very noticeable.
It looks like the cosmetics have been marinated in it.
But I've smelled many expensive rouges and face powders at Yanzhikou a few days ago, and none of them smell as good as this.
Just then, the door in the wall suddenly opened, and Yu Yanluo, no longer calm and composed as usual, rushed over and snatched the blanket back from him.
"This quilt is old. I'll have the maid bring a new one. Please wait a moment." With that, she turned and hurried away.
Although she tried to sound calm, the faint blush on her neck betrayed her.
