In the next few days, just as Ye Chen and the others had deduced, this Master Mei would seriously injure the secret guards sent by Ye Chen every day, but without exception, none of them were life-threatening.
"Master, what do you think this Mr. Mei wants to do? Is he doing this every day? What if he hurts all our secret guards?" Mu Qing was a little worried, and his brows were rarely furrowed.
"No, he doesn't have that much patience. Let's set up a tight net in the mansion tonight and wait for him. It will only take a few days. Such a person is arrogant and conceited because he has the capital to be arrogant. It is his arrogance that gives us the opportunity to take advantage of him." Ye Chen was still flipping through the book in his hand. This Mr. Mei was handsome and his martial arts were first-class, but this person's temperament was nothing like his appearance.
"Yes." Although Mu Qing didn't quite understand, it was always right to listen to me.
At night, the Ye Mansion still looked the same on the surface. The maids were chatting together, some were doing needlework, and bursts of laughter could be heard from the house from time to time.
Mei Qi had been on the roof for quite a while. This was the first time he had such great patience. In the room, a woman was holding a little kid and teasing him with a smile that never faded. Although she didn't have a stunning appearance, she looked so comfortable no matter how you looked at her. This was the adjective Mei Qi came up with after thinking about it all night.
A man lazily leaned on the couch, looking at the woman and child beside him, and occasionally said a few words, all of which were about trivial matters. However, Mei Qi had listened to these words for a whole night and did not find them bad at all. This house had a strong smell of fireworks, which was the word he thought of when he first came here.
By the end of the hour of Hai, the little kid in the woman's arms had fallen asleep. The woman carefully placed the child on the bed and covered him with a quilt.
After Shen Qiu settled An An down, Shen Qiu came to the couch again, raised his eyes to look at the extra pair of eyes on the roof, smiled slightly, and then said: "Although it is already spring, it is even deeper and the dew is heavier. How long do you plan to keep watching?"
Mei Qi's face suddenly turned red because of that smile. After hearing Chen Qiu's words, she realized that people had already discovered her presence.
Mei Qi jumped down from the roof, and just as Mei Qi landed, Chen Qiu opened the door, "Since you are here, please come in and sit down. My husband has been waiting for you for a long time." Then Chen Qiu moved aside to make way for Mei Qi.
Ye Chen still had the same posture and turned another page of the book in his hand. Mei Qi was not restrained after coming in and sat directly in the seat where Chen Qiu had just sat.
"Are you Ye Chen?" Mei Qi sat down, picked up the ginkgo nuts on the small table and started eating.
"Yes, you are Mr. Mei from the martial arts world?" Ye Chen and Mei Qi were like two good friends who had finally met each other. There was no tension between them at all.
"Mei Qi, the owner of Luojia Manor, is certainly not an owner of a branch manor like others. All the Luojia Manors serve me. Did you pull out so many Luojia Manors?" When Mei Qi said this, it was as if he was not angry at all that Ye Chen pulled out so many of his manors.
"I pulled it out. Then let me ask you, was it you who instructed me to poison my son?" Ye Chen didn't have much interaction with Mei Qi in his previous life, so he wasn't sure if this person was the kind of despicable person who could harm a child.
"No, I never care about the affairs of Luojiazhuang. They said that after I seize the supreme position, I will just be responsible for sitting on that chair, and I don't have to worry about anything else." Mei Qi threw a ginkgo nut into his mouth and said it with great ease.
"Are you a descendant of the royal family of Ronghua Kingdom?" Ye Chen finally raised his eyes from the page of the book and looked at Mei Qi who was sitting there eating ginkgo nuts.
"Yes, I am a descendant of the last prince of Ronghua Country, Luojiazhuang. Haha, we are their masters in name, but in fact we are just their puppets." There was an indescribable bitterness in Mei Qi's tone.
"Since the establishment of Luojia Manor, I am the sixth owner, the least ambitious owner, and the one they cannot control. Haha, I have been fighting with them for more than ten years, but I didn't expect that you would wipe them out in just two months." Mei Qi could hear the excitement.
"So, you hurt my people for revenge?"
"Revenge? Can revenge be taken like this? I am the owner of Luojia Manor after all. They work for me. Although I don't care, at least they didn't lose anything from me when I spent money. You have wiped them out completely. As the owner of the manor, shouldn't I get some revenge?" Mei Qi was wearing a moon-white robe that reflected the clear wind and bright moon. When he didn't speak, he really looked like a banished immortal. But why did his words seem so inconsistent with his outfit?
"This root has not been pulled out. Aren't you the real root of Luojia Village? As long as you are still there, they have a possibility of starting over." Ye Chen suddenly became serious.
"You can't catch me. Besides, they can't find me either. I came to Kyoto City just to see who destroyed Luojia Manor. I didn't expect it to be a weak scholar like you."
"Oh, from now on, if anyone says that a scholar is useless, I will dig up his ancestral grave. Ronghua Country was destroyed by a scholar at its peak. A hundred years later, whether it was Luojiazhuang or Phoenix Society that wanted to restore their country, didn't they all fall into the hands of a scholar like you?" Mei Qi cast a coquettish glance at Ye Chen, then glanced at Chen Qiu who was standing beside Ye Chen.
Mei Qi sat there for a long time. Although she was talking to Ye Chen, her eyes were always on Shen Qiu, although no one could see it.
"So, you are actually very happy that Luojiazhuang collapsed?" Ye Chen picked up the book again and continued reading.
"I wouldn't say I'm very happy. After all, I won't be able to go anywhere and have someone act as my banker and withdraw money at will. Life will be very tight in the future. But I am also a little happy. I won't have to be someone's puppet in the future." Mei Qi now seemed to treat this place as his own home. He kicked off his shoes, then sat cross-legged on the couch, facing Ye Chen.
"Well, I want to discuss something with you. You can withdraw those people outside. How about I be your son's master? The Southern Hero Xiao Mu in your house and the witch who has disappeared for more than ten years are no match for me. Besides, my martial arts will be good for your son. How about you support me in the future?" Mei Qi's words almost made Chen Qiu draw the soft sword from her body. She actually let her husband support him?
"Alas, you have a grudge against us. Look, I trust the food we give you, but I am still worried about handing my son over to you." This time Chen Qiu took over the conversation. She didn't want to keep such an unreliable person at home.
"No grudge, no grudge. I know the person from the Medicine Valley you are looking for, and I also know the person with excellent lightness skills. Can I catch him for you?" Mei Qi smiled like a fool. Chen Qiu and Ye Chen looked at each other, wondering how many words this eccentric person said could be believed.
"Hehe, do you have a grudge against them? Aren't they your subordinates?" Chen Qiu laughed dryly twice, feeling more and more that this person was out of tune.
"Mu Qing" Ye Chen suddenly shouted.
"Master" Mu Qing immediately responded in the yard.
"Withdraw everyone." Ye Chen looked at Mei Qi and instructed Mu Qing.
"Yes," Mu Qing answered without hesitation and left.
