Qi Yasheng said indignantly, "At least we had a cook and a housekeeper before. But after my dad passed away, my sister didn't get along with either of them and fired them both! They were elderly people who had worked for us for almost their entire lives!"
Su Ruyi asked, "Is it possible to find it again?"
Qi Yasheng shook her head: "I've looked for her several times—the cook went back to his hometown, and the old woman got married! Sigh! My sister is never reliable!"
Su Ruyi frowned as well.
She really didn't know what to do. Qiao Tianyue was now like a hot potato stuck in her hands!
Suddenly, she remembered Lan Yu again.
The current situation is largely due to Lan Yu's influence. Perhaps... while she's away, we could entrust Qiao Tianyue to Lan Yu's care?
Thinking this, Su Ruyi comforted Qi Yasheng instead: "It's alright, then I'll let Yue'er stay with me for a while longer. By the way, did you get me the letter of introduction and the nationally valid grain coupons I asked for?"
Qi Yasheng nodded and said, "I have 20 letters of introduction, and they have all been stamped."
They're all from our company. Our company has a lot of authority, so you shouldn't have any problems going anywhere outside.
I've already found you the food coupons.
"Wait here, I'll go get it for you right now!"
After saying that, he turned around and went to get it.
A dozen minutes later, he handed Su Ruyi a huge kraft paper envelope.
Su Ruyi probed her divine sense slightly and discovered various tickets and certificates that were more than two fingers thick.
These tickets were a real lifesaver, because Su Ruyi had given most of the tickets in her space to Su Tong and Chen Yuanyuan so they could start their own family.
Su Ruyi put the envelope into her bag and smiled, "Thank you, Teacher Qi."
Qi Yasheng was quite embarrassed: "I had no choice but to leave Yue'er with you."
Su Ruyi waited a second or two, and seeing that he didn't continue speaking, she took her leave.
Indeed, Qi Yasheng had no choice.
Even as a grown man, he found it difficult to live with his niece in the large Qi family mansion.
Qi Yasheng pushed the responsibility of taking care of Qiao Tianyue onto Su Ruyi, without even asking how Qiao Tianyue would manage on her own when Su Ruyi left Beijing.
Su Ruyi didn't know if it was due to his carelessness or intentional, but in any case, through this incident, Su Ruyi also witnessed Qi Yasheng's slightly cold-hearted side.
...
"Go find that scary uncle?" Qiao Tianyue jumped up from the stool.
Su Ruyi told her that she was planning to have her stay with Lan Yu for a while.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Tianyue reacted so strongly that she jumped up in fright.
Su Ruyi laughed and said, "He just looks a bit scary, but he's not a bad person. If you stay with him, no matter what bad guy you are, he won't find you."
Qiao Tianyue thought of her father and her uncle Qi Zhao, both of whom looked fierce and menacing, so she nodded obediently: "I'll listen to you, Cadre Su."
So, early the next morning, Su Ruyi took Qiao Tianyue and set off to find Lan Yu.
Fearing that people would find out her whereabouts, she did not ask Qi Yasheng for a car.
Instead, it involved a series of transfers, taking a bus and then an oxcart.
We set off early in the morning and didn't arrive at the foot of Xiaomeishan until the afternoon.
The two bought tickets, and the ticket seller, with a sour face, unlocked the door.
There is still only one path leading up the mountain.
After walking for about ten minutes, Su Ruyi realized she had entered a maze.
Because she discovered that the mark she had carved with a knife on a large tree next to the main tree had reappeared!
Same big tree, same markings!
At that moment, the red mole on her palm suddenly became burning hot.
Su Ruyi had a sudden thought. She walked straight into what appeared to be a thicket of bushes from the white mist beside the big tree.
Qiao Tianyue was behind, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow.
The fog was very thick, and what appeared to be bushes ahead turned out to be a crooked path!
Guided by the red mole, Su Ruyi walked for about an hour and arrived at the entrance of the Taoist temple.
After a gentle knock, Lan Yu opened the door almost immediately, saying loudly, "Little girl, you've arrived! I'm so sorry for not welcoming you sooner! Your arrival is truly an honor to our humble abode!"
Qiao Tianyue quickly hid behind Su Ruyi.
Su Ruyi got straight to the point: "I'm going to find Su Yin and Xia Tianxiu. I'm a little worried about Yue'er living alone at my place, so I'd like to entrust her to you for a while."
Lan Yu handed over two cups of tea, nodding repeatedly: "That's easy. I have another ticket seller here. She lives in a suite, with two separate rooms, and one of them is empty. Girl, if you don't mind, you can share a room with your Aunt Feng, okay?"
Qiao Tianyue held the teacup and nodded repeatedly, saying, "I will follow your arrangements. I'm sorry to have troubled you."
Lan Yu smiled at her: "My dorm is absolutely safe. With my tricks, no one can get in!"
He then pulled a triangular talisman from his person and handed it to Qiao Tianyue. "Keep this close to your body, and you'll be able to see through illusions. I'll write a note later, and you can take it directly to Xiao Feng—oh, you know, the ticket seller—when you go down the mountain."
"Okay, I understand." Qiao Tianyue said, glancing at Su Ruyi with a knowing look. "Then I'll go look around somewhere else first. You two chat for a while."
Lan Yu instructed, "Don't go too far, or you'll get lost. This protective and illusionary magic only works at the foot of the mountain! Once you're up the mountain, it won't be able to help you."
"I understand," Qiao Tianyue said, then walked out of the courtyard and closed the gate behind her.
Lan Yu laughed and said, "You guys don't seem very tired after climbing this mountain! What? Did you see through my trick?"
Su Ruyi picked up the large cup of tea that Lan Yu had poured for her and drank it all in one gulp: "I'm still very tired, I climbed for more than an hour."
"More than an hour? Even if you see through all my tricks, it will still take at least two hours to climb up!"
"I might have taken a shortcut," Su Ruyi said calmly. "Let's not talk about that, Daoist Qingfeng. Do you know where Su Yin is right now?"
Master Qingfeng stroked his beard:
"I really do know!"
I was just about to go to Beijing tomorrow and wanted to let you know, and what a coincidence that you're here!
Su Yin is very likely in Haicheng, because Qi Zhao bought him and that girl sleeper train tickets to Haicheng!
Even if they weren't in Haicheng, they must have gone somewhere else from Haicheng!
However, I think it's like looking for a needle in a haystack for you to go looking for them; it's too difficult. You might as well just wait for them to come to you!
The moment those words were spoken, it was like a switch being flipped in Su Ruyi's mind, and she suddenly understood—
Yes, Su Yin is afraid of me now, so she's keeping her distance.
Why is he so afraid of himself?
