Fortunately, Jian Yixue at the door had the foresight to pull Ye Mohan into the space the instant Qu Rui opened the door.
That's how they managed to avoid being discovered.
Because this secret passage is a single, continuous path, if one doesn't enter the space, the only way to avoid being discovered is to keep retreating to Qu Rui's room.
Clearly, Jian Yixue had no intention of leaving.
Jian Yixue overheard Qu Rui's conversation with the people inside, and recognized that familiar voice...
Gong Jianwen watched Qu Rui turn and leave. Thinking of the news he had just heard, he wanted to ask her a few more questions, but seeing this, he could only sigh helplessly and say to himself, "I've been foolish."
Given his relationship with Qu Rui, how could he possibly tell his junior sister about her?
The reason she told him this news was to make him eager to know more, but also because he was helpless.
This was done simply to torment him.
Gong Jianwen shook his head with a wry smile, then turned his gaze to the books.
Just then, there was a sudden noise coming from the stone gate.
Gong Jianwen looked up and frowned slightly when he saw the extraordinary-looking man and woman in front of him.
Moreover, the woman in front of him seemed to resemble his junior sister by about seven or eight points, Gong Jianwenhua tentatively said.
“Tinglan?…” Upon hearing this, Gong Jianwenhua himself denied the answer, shaking his head and saying, “No, you are not her.”
Although the person in front of me looks a lot like Tinglan, the aura he exudes is completely different from Tinglan's.
Suddenly realizing something, Gong Jianwen asked in disbelief, "You're Xiaoxue?"
Upon hearing Gong Jianwenhua address her in this way, Jian Yixue could no longer control herself, and tears streamed down her face involuntarily.
She stepped forward, nodded, and said, "Master, it's me."
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Gong Jianwenhua immediately threw the book on the stone table and then stood up.
His eyes never left Jian Yixue.
"Xiaoxue, is it really you!"
Jian Yixue said, "It's me, Master. I've been looking for you all these years."
Gong Jianwen was very excited when he heard this, never expecting to be able to meet again in his lifetime.
Seeing Jian Yixue's sad appearance, he tried to lighten the mood by jokingly saying, "Xiaoxue has grown up and is now a young lady. Why are you still crying?"
Jian Yixue said, "Master, you're still making fun of me."
It was the same before; whenever she was sad, her master would always cheer her up, making her feel the love of a father, even though she had lost her father's love at a young age.
Gong Jianwenhua's smile became even more pronounced.
The smile on his lips never disappeared after he met Jian Yixue.
Gong Jianwen thought about Qu Rui's words earlier, and then, seeing Jian Yixue suddenly appear here, he couldn't help but ponder the matter, and then spoke up.
"How did you find this place? Did your mother come too?"
Jian Yixue said, "Well, it's a long story. My mother came with me. We're not far from Shennong Pavilion. Let's get to the point first."
Upon hearing this, Gong Jianwen Hua noticed Ye Mohan behind Jian Yixue. Even though the man was standing there without saying a word, his aura was indeed noble and aloof, and he was clearly not an ordinary person.
Moreover, as a man, he could clearly see the love in Ye Mohan's eyes and suddenly understood what was going on.
Turning to Jian Yixue, he asked, "Is this your ponytail?"
As an elder, Kung Chien-Wen-Hua was really embarrassed to say the words "your man".
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue nodded frankly and introduced Ye Mohan to Gong Jianwenhua, "Ye Mohan is my legal husband."
Upon hearing Ye Mohan's confident and generous introduction, Ye Mohan stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "Master, I am Ye Mohan, Xue'er's husband. It's a pleasure to meet you."
The person in front of him was Xue'er's master, so naturally he was also his master.
Everyone who is kind to Xue'er deserves his special treatment.
Upon hearing this, Gong Jianwenhua's scrutinizing gaze swept over Ye Mohan. Seeing that Ye Mohan's speech and demeanor were extraordinary, and that he clearly possessed the aura cultivated from a young age by a prominent family, he nodded in satisfaction.
He then asked, "Has your mother seen you?"
Jian Yixue: "I've met him, and my parents are very satisfied with him."
Gong Jianwen asked in confusion, "Parents? You mean your father is also here?"
Gong Jianwenhua was somewhat puzzled. How could things have turned out that way back then, and now not only had Tinglan come back to life, but her relationship with her husband had also returned to normal? This really surprised Gong Jianwenhua.
After all, he had investigated before and found that the man had married a new woman not long after his junior sister's 'death'.
This is also why he personally taught Jian Yixue in the countryside for five years.
Even when he left later, he was certain that Jian Yixue was capable of supporting herself before he did.
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue immediately understood Gong Jianwenhua's meaning and said, "It's not what you think, Master."
Afterwards, Jian Yixue told him in detail about the emotional entanglements between Dongfang Tinglan, Gong Beize, and Jian Mingpeng.
Gong Jianwen Hua then realized that he had been overthinking things.
That's true. Junior Sister is such a proud person, how could she possibly go back to an old flame?
Moreover, that guy doesn't seem to be a good match for his junior sister at all.
However, he also harbored some vague dissatisfaction with Dongfang Tinglan's current husband.
In his view, a man who can't even protect his own woman can't be considered a man at all.
However, Gong Jianwenhua did not tell these words to Jian Yixue and her two younger relatives.
Jian Yixue looked at Gong Jianwenhua, who was deep in thought, and said, "Master, I'll take you away. Let's talk outside. It's not safe here."
Hearing this, Gong Jianwenhua pulled his wandering thoughts back and looked at Jian Yixue, saying, "I'm not leaving yet. You didn't come here because of me, right?"
Jian Yixue didn't hide anything and nodded.
Gong Jianwen said, "Then you go do your things first. I'm fine here. Except for the lack of personal freedom, everything else is fine."
"Since you've come here for something, go take care of your business first. You can come back to rescue me after you've finished everything."
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue frowned and disagreed, saying, "No, Master, you have to come with us. I'm not comfortable leaving you here."
After all, what she was about to do might anger Qu Rui, and if her master was used by Qu Rui to threaten her, it would only make things more troublesome.
Moreover, based on the conversation between Qu Rui and Jiang Lie just now, she felt that Lemon was very likely not in Yan Yuan and Shennong Pavilion.
In other words, this trip may have just begun.
But there were also unexpected surprises, such as finding a master that they had only met once in two lifetimes.
Gong Jianwen said, “I am safe here. You have things to do, and taking me with you might just be a burden.”
Moreover, I have never failed to understand Qu Rui's temperament over the years.
"If I'm suddenly missing when we move out, it wouldn't be good for you all."
