Even the well-informed Lu Qingyan felt a strong urge to take possession of the Song family's belongings.
Money, all of this money! $_$
Xiao Liuchen looked at Lu Qingyan's sparkling eyes and his lips twitched: "If you like, I'll give you a courtyard similar to this one in the future." So you won't look at it with that kind of gaze.
"Really?" Lu Qingyan grabbed Xiao Liuchen's arm excitedly to confirm.
Lu Qingyan got excited and her voice rose a little. The Song family's guards overheard her: "Who goes there!"
Xiao Liuchen cursed Lu Qingyan under his breath, "Troublesome!" but still took her and hid immediately. He regretted that he had been so foolish as to bring her here that night.
Lu Qingyan knew she had caused trouble and felt very embarrassed.
[Tong'er, quickly help us hide the two of us so no one finds us.]
The system took the opportunity to extort 200 points.
【Deal!】 Lu Qingyan readily agreed. She hadn't used many points to begin with, so since the system wanted them, she might as well let it have them.
Lu Qingyan was very confident that with the system's computing power, the points might be added back without anyone noticing at some point.
The guard heard the noise and came to investigate, but couldn't find anyone. He muttered, somewhat puzzled, "I clearly heard someone here, but I can't see anything? Could it be a ghost?"
Xiao Liuchen stared in disbelief as the person walked past him, completely unaware of his presence. He thought he was about to be exposed, never expecting to escape unscathed.
He couldn't understand how someone so close could not see him, especially since the other person was a martial artist.
Lu Qingyan's eyes darted around, and a faint jasmine scent wafted from her. Xiao Liuchen sniffed the delicate fragrance, asking, "What's that scent?"
Lu Qingyan coaxed him, "This is a sleeping potion I made. I used a little on him just now, which is why he didn't notice us."
Xiao Liuchen said without ceremony, "This is a good thing, you should give me some next time!"
Lu Qingyan: "..."
Okay, I can certainly make this myself, but the effect would be rather disappointing. What if Xiao Liuchen took my medicine and then I could openly enter his home and be discovered...?
Thinking of this, Lu Qingyan couldn't help but shudder: "This was prepared a long time ago, and one of the medicinal herbs used in it is no longer available. I'm afraid it won't be very effective for you."
Xiao Liuchen sighed regretfully, "That's a real pity. But tell me what that medicinal herb is and I'll help you find it."
Lu Qingyan casually made up a story: "That herb is called Nameless. Every single one looks different. Even if you were standing right in front of it, you might not be able to recognize it. I only managed to get half of it by chance."
Xiao Liuchen was now mostly disheartened; such a hard-to-find item was indeed not easy to come by. However, with so many extraordinary individuals in his household, surely one of them could come up with a solution.
A gentle southerly breeze dispelled the summer heat. Xiao Liuchen's mind also cleared up, and he stopped worrying about the medicine: "Alright, let's talk about this when we get back. Let's go to the study to find something."
Lu Qingyan asked him, "Are you sure that thing is in the study?" According to those usual practices, the most precious things are always kept in the bedroom.
Lu Qingyan made a casual remark, to which Xiao Liuchen retorted, "I don't know where it is, but do you?"
Lu Qingyan offered her guess: "I think it's more likely to be in the bedroom."
