Once the waiter had completely left, Ye Shuang dropped her pretense, opened the window, looked at the backyard of the yamen directly below, and smiled.
Yuwen Leng walked over curiously, and when he looked down, he also curled his lips and gave a thumbs up: "You're amazing, young lady."
Ye Shuang glanced at him and pointed to a courtyard diagonally opposite the back of the yamen: "I think that courtyard is quite nice, let's go with that one."
Yuwen Leng glanced at it. Hmm, it was indeed quite nice. Being so close to the yamen, he could hear everything clearly. But this courtyard looked far too... dilapidated! Even without getting close, the crooked tree branches, the half-open gate, and the courtyard covered in withered grass—good heavens, if this were done at a normal pace, it wouldn't be tiring, but it would be incredibly annoying! This wasn't choosing a courtyard; it was testing his patience!
But would he dare say no? He wouldn't.
"Alright, miss, we'll go tomorrow. But it'll probably take some time to pack up!" Yuwen Hu reminded her carefully, kindly, and in a low voice. "Weren't you just complaining about this inn?"
Ye Shuang pondered for a moment, then glanced around the room again: "It's tolerable. Go and do it. I believe that with your abilities, even if it's difficult, it won't take more than a few days."
"Yes, young lady." Yuwen Leng forced a smile. This was no young lady, she was clearly a spoiled brat. Who spoiled her like this? She was used to being domineering and her whole family had to pamper and fawn over her.
Yuwen glanced at the government office below the window. Anyway, nothing much was going to happen in the near future, so it shouldn't matter if he left for a while.
After Yuwen Leng left the inn, Ye Shuang frowned slightly. Perhaps due to the chaos in the nation's fortunes once again, the government office, which should have been able to stop demons and ghosts, now had demonic energy inside, and the demonic energy was quite strong. This demon must be highly skilled, because even Yuwen Hu hadn't noticed it just now.
She'd only been gone for an afternoon, so why was Li Wenyi so popular with demons?
But when the person came out from the backyard, Ye Shuang immediately realized that it was not Li Wenyi, but Ma Rencai!
The monster, using some unknown method, became so close to Ma Rencai that it followed him around like a servant, never leaving his side. And this monster was actually a snake!
This is really bad. If he were to unleash his beastly nature, he would probably be swallowed whole in a matter of minutes, and she wouldn't even have time to stop him.
Just as she was thinking of handling the matter discreetly, the demon beast looked up and stared straight at her.
Ye Shuang was naturally unafraid and looked over as well.
The man and the demon stared at each other for a while, when the demon whispered in Ma Rencai's ear, "My lord, I've noticed someone watching us from that window over there! They seem to have ill intentions!"
What a hypocrite! Ye Shuang's lips twitched, and she turned around and closed the window.
Ma Rencai looked up in the direction he was referring to, but only saw a closed window. He smiled and said, "It's alright, he's probably just curious about the government office."
Ye Shuang naturally heard it too. Although the monster didn't succeed this time, if it happened too often, Ma Rencai would probably dislike her. Without Ma Rencai's trust, it would be a pipe dream for her to approach Li Wenyi with a completely unfamiliar identity.
However, she still remembered the places Li Wenyi frequented in the county town. She decided to intercept Li Wenyi first, and leave Ma Rencai to Yuwen Leng.
